JD (sung): I am damaged, far too damaged, But you’re not beyond repair. Stick around here, Make things better ‘Cause you beat me fair and square
(JD takes the bomb from Veronica)
Please stand back now ‘Little further. Don’t know what this thing will do. Hope you’ll miss me. Wish you’d kiss me Then you’d know I worship you. I’ll trade my life for yours.
VERONICA (sung): Oh my God—
JD: And once I disappear,
VERONICA: Wait, hold on—
JD: Clean up the mess down here.
VERONICA: Not this way!
JD: Our love is God Our love is God Our love is God Our love is God Our love is God
VERONICA: Say hi to God
(Explosion and blackout. Lights up on Westerberg students and faculty drawn by the noise. Veronica enters, face blackened, hair frazzled, jacket singed. Heather Duke and Heather McNamara rush up)
HEATHER MCNAMARA (spoken): Where have you been’ People were saying you killed yourself.
HEATHER DUKE (spoken): You look like hell.
VERONICA (spoken): I just got back.
(She removes Heather Duke’s red scrunchie and ties it around her own hair)
