School Radio Station



Ian:
I'd like to dedicate this next tune
to a hero. A man. One brave soul
who's dared to take a stand against
the forces of darkness.



A masked avenger
-the Crimson Blade is fearlessly
championing the causes of justice at
the School of the Arts.





His selfless deeds have inspired us all.
So to the Crimson Blade
wherever you are...
- thanks mate!


Miltie: (listening on headphones)
Nothing to it

Lou's

Jillian:
C'mon you guys lunch is almost over
We're going to be late.

Maxie:
Oh I don't want to go back to Sing Sing.

Jesse:
Logan and his goons have totally taken over.

Ian:
You can't even look at them in
the hall or else you get caught.

Dusty:
We sure could use the Crimson Blade right now.

Jesse:
Don't look at me!

Maxie:
You can't lose your nerve now!

Jesse:
Look for the last time
I am not the Crimson Blade!
Besides what could the Crimson Blade do?




Ian:
What he's been doing all along
fighting for what's right!

Jesse:
All he's been doing is making
a fool out of Logan




Maxie:
It boosts our spirits.
Ian's right the Crimson Blade means something

Ian:
That's right!

Jillian:
He stands for freedom

Dusty:
He gave us hope

Miltie:
I think he's kind of a hero

Jesse:
What do you know about heroes bro?

Miltie:
You'd be surprised Valesquez.

Jesse:
You're all crazy!
The Crimson Blade is just a character in a play!

Ian:
Well I for one believe in the Crimson Blade

Miltie:
You know what. So do I





Jesse:
Well I hate to burst everyone's bubble
but there is no Santa Claus, there is no
Easter Bunny and there is no Crimson Blade!

He leaves.


Maxie:
Do you think he's given up?

Lou:
Hey I always put my money on the hero

Outside School



Doug:
Good night Ms Fleming
The students seem pretty orderly
don't you think?

Ms Fleming:
Yes now that you mention it
you're doing a good job.



Doug:
I'm doing my best.

Ms Fleming:
Its' starting to snow.
This isn't snow.
It's shredded paper..
Its the citations!



They look above them and spot a masked figure gleefully throwing the shredded citations
out of the window.


Doug:
It's the Crimson Blade
Get him!


Doug:
You can't fool me this time!


The students laugh as the Crimson Blade
easily slips away from Logan.

Ms Fleming:
Logan!

Ian:
Oh you're Mum's calling you.
Keep warm!






Maxie begins to daydream
about the Crimson Blade.

School Office

Ms Fleming:
This Crimson Blade has become
a hero figure.
He's promoting insubordination.
And I'm afraid there is only one way
to put a stop to it.
All remaining performances of "the
Crimson Blade" are cancelled.

Mr Shorofsky:
That's not fair!
You're punishing everyone for
one person's actions.

Ms Berg:
The kids have worked so hard on it.


Ms Fleming:
This was not an easy decision to make.

Mr Shorofsky:
Ms. Fleming I protest.
Performing is what we do around here.
If you take that away there is nothing
that makes this school special.


Ms Fleming:
I'm sorry there will be no more discussion.

Ian:
Can she do that?




Mr Shorofsky:
She just did.

Ian:
Great!

Dressing Room


Ian:
I hope this works!

Maxie:
Me too otherwise we're going
to be in big trouble.
Ian:
We're already in big trouble we may
well go down fighting.

<He sees the Crimson Blade costume.>

Hey, I'm surprised Fleming didn't burn this.

Maxie:
She might has well have.


Ian:
Yeah, without Jesse
here to wear it.

Maxie:
Jesse? Oh right, Jesse.

Ian:
It's kinda silly isn't it?

Maxie:
Not when he wore it.

Ian:
School's not gonna be the
same without him.



Maxie:
Neither will I.

Ian gives her a quizzical look
and she quickly says

How's my makeup?

Ian:
Great, all right let's go!
