VERONICA (sung):

I wanted someone strong who could protect me.

I let his anger fester and infect me.

His solution is a lie.

No one here deserves to die except for me and the monster I created.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Heads up, JD, I'm a dead girl walking!

ALL BUT VERONICA (chanted):

Hey yo Westerberg!

VERONICA:

Can't hide from me, I'm your dead girl walking!

ALL BUT VERONICA (chanted):

Hey yo Westerberg!

VERONICA:

And there's your final bell,

(school bell rings)

It's one more dance and then farewell,

Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walkin'!

HEATHER MCNAMARA (chanted):

Come on, Westerberg!

Here we go, Here we go now!

MS. FLEMING (spoken):

Veronica! Jason Dean told us you'd just committed suicide!

VERONICA (spoken):

Yeah, well, he's wrong about a lot of things.

MS. FLEMING:

I threw together a lovely tribute, especially given the short notice.

VERONICA:

Ms. Fleming, what's under the gym?

MS. FLEMING:

The boiler room.

VERONICA:

That's it!

MS. FLEMING:

Veronica, what's going on?

VERONICA (sung):

Got no time to talk I'm a dead girl walking!

STUDENTS (chanted):

Hey yo Westerberg!

Hey yo Westerberg!

Tell me what's that sound?

Here comes Westerberg

Comin' to put you in the ground!

Go go Westernberg!

Give a great big yell!

Westerberg will knock you out

And send you straight to hell!

(The boiler room. JD is planting a bomb. Veronica enters)

VERONICA (spoken):

Step away from the bomb.

JD (spoken):

This little thing? I'd hardly call this a bomb. This is just to set off the packs of thermals upstairs in the gym.

Those are bombs. People are going to look at the ashes of Westerberg

And say there's a school that self-destructed not because society didn't care,

But because that school was society. The only place Heathers and Marthas can truly get along is in Heaven!

VERONICA (sung):

I wish your mom had been a little stronger.

I wish she stayed around a little longer.

I wish your dad were good!

I wish grown-ups understood!

I wish we met before they convinced you life is war!

I wish you'd come with me—

JD:

I wish I had more TNT!

(WHAM! Veronica whacks JD's gun hand with the croquet mallet)

JD (spoken):

Aah! Jesus!

(JD and Veronica scramble for the gun)

STUDENTS (chanted):

Hey yo Westerberg!

Hey yo Westerberg!

Tell me what's that sound?

Here comes Westerberg

Comin' to put you in the ground!

Go go Westernberg!

Give a great big yell!

Westerberg will knock you out

And send you straight to hell!

(BANG! They lock eyes. Someone just got shot.)
