Exposure - Jenna
Jeremy: What?
"Hey Jenna, have another drink! You're not even tipsy yet! Come on, just one more shot!"
Marilyn: And it's all thanks to me! I told you it'd be awesome.
(anger) MARILYN. Why did you FILM that?!
Marilyn: Whoa! Calm down-
(click frantically) Delete, delete, delete, I SAID DELETE!
Catherine: Oops. sorry.. caps.
(to Jeremy) Wow. Coming from you Jeremy, thats really something.
I should have been there for you, and you.. well..
...yeah. So?
Marilyn: Oh, so now I need people's permission to put my own video online?
A video of ME!
Catherine. UH, guys...
And hes just so high and mighty all the time too, oh look at me, im the smartest guy in school.
well i was gonna say give couples their personal space but that works too.
And the parents know?
I mean, no one filmed it or took a video... and they had a chat with me about drinking and moderation and all that cheesy stuff.
And they didnt ground you?
I dont know. If you want. Or improvise something, it doesnt matter.
And what are you donna do?
Mom and Dad. They have to hear it from you.
Are you NUTS?!
Matt: Yeah?
As in past tense like.
Catherine: I was mad, I was scared, and I knew things were only going to get worse. So, I left.
Cathy I'd never treat you that way-
I shouldnt have just left you like that and Im sorry. There. I said it. Im sorry.
Cathy its okay.
Cath: Are we interuptting anything?
Cathy!
Jeremy: I told you, Matt. I told you something like this would happen.
Excuse me? Whats that supposed to mean?
Jeremy: Why do girls always do that? They always have to let us down easy. Just give me a straight answer!
FINE. you're not my type! you were never my type! And now, you're even less than my type! Happy?
Patrick: Jenna..
Go away. Please.
Jeremy: Not really.
Go to hell.
Patrick: Why would anyone want to see this?
Guys, you don't understand.
Catherine: I just didn't think friends pressured other friends to drink until they can't remember their own names.
Guys...
Jeremy: You date the wrong people, you have to put up with this kinda stuff.
Hey this is a public forum ashhole! I can see your comments.
Of course not... I could tell youd been up to something the other night.
How?
NO THEY WONT. You know what? We'll tell them together.
Hows that gonna work?
Catherine: I thought you treated yourself with more respect.
I DO!
Pat: no it wont! Youll know the truth!
I already know the truth, just say it!
Matt:... maybe.
I can't believe this. Why would you tell anyone something like that?
Pat: maybe you should talk to him.
I cant. He logged off.
Pat: Did you talk to marilyn?
I did.
Jeremy: I waited for a month. And then, what do I see? You and our Matty boy, right there together.
I didn't know what to think, I... you jus sort of jumped out at me. It was weird. I didn't know what else to say.
Matt: Logging on... status update: "Working on a huge science project with Stan right now. Wish I could be somewhere else."
I don't blame you
Matt; then who is it? Huh? Who is it?
I don't know. Look I,... I don't know what time want me to say. It was a party.
Patrick: No.
I just- I just want to be alone okay?
Patrick: Jenna-
I mess up once. I make ONE big mistake and you all treat me like-!
Marilyn: What are you talking about?
I said GET IT OFF!!
Marilyn: I don't even get what the problem is. I mean, youre not completely naked.
I thought I could trust you. I thought you'd at least ask me before showing it to everyone.
Pat: did you ask her to take it down.
I tired but she wont listen to me!
Matt: you didn't think anyone was going to be taking pictures? Or recording a video?
I told you, i wasn't thinking!
Matt: Look Jenna, I think I got a pretty clear view of what this thing is. And so did a million other people.
I was drunk, I... I wasn't myself! Cant you all get that! This isn't ME!
Matt: Yeah, we can clearly see that.
I was drunk, i was stupid, i went overboard, I had no idea what i was doing!
Jeremy: pretty much, yeah.
I... that was... that was months ago!! I thought you'd gotten over that!
Mom and dad know and now you and thats it.
Im not gonna tell. What happened?
Marilyn: oh come on! Give me one good reason.
It's humiliating, I... I really don't know how else to say it.
Matt: I don't know, it was just like.. conversation.
It's supposed to be our thing, it's supposed to be private!
Matt: What?? What is it?
Its gone.
Jermey: "Sorry, you're not my type"?
Jeremy..-
Jeremy: she won't even let you get to second base with her... and now youre defending her?
MATT! You told him about that?
Patrick: okay! Flag video as inappropriate. Yes. What do you mean am I sure? Yes I'm sure! Flag it!
Marilyn. I'm asking you again, please take that video down!
Marilyn: (laughing) This is unbelievable! Look at her! Just look at her!
Marilyn?
Matt: Okay let's hear it. Lets hear your story. Private chat now.
Matt I know what you think this is but it's not.
Matt: I mean, Jenna doing something like that?? They've gotta be lying!
Matt this doesn't change anything. I was drunk-
Stan: There. It's been said. Now can we PLEASE move on?
Matt, Stan. You guys were there. You saw how I was. Why didn't you help? Why didn't you stop me?
No, it's... its matt.
Matt? He's here?
Patrick: will you just listen to me!
NO! JUST SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP, OKAY?! I HATE YOU! I HATE ALL OF YOU! JUST OEAVE ME ALONE!!
Matt: it's not.
No it's not.
Matt: So its true, then.
No, Matt-
Marilyn: YES! This is legendary, this is epic!
No, its not. It's disgusting, its gross, its... intrusive. You dont get it-
Patrick: Jenna, we need to talk. Now.
Not you too!
Matt: he's bigger than me! What could I do!
Oh so now it's stabs fault. Why'd he even come??
Well, they saw my black eye. What was I supposed to say- that I walked into a door?
Oh. Right.
Jeremy: Why don't you put it in your own terms? Use some body language.
Okay seriously what is your problem!?
Catherine: I'm sure you know all about "real problems".
Okay you two!
Marilyn: No, you dont get it jen. This is your first time DRUNK. THis is something to celebrate!
Okay, fine! Let's celebrate it! But let'. b s celebrate it in private!
Back you up. However I can. I'll be standing right behind you, anyway.
Okay.
Hes downstairs. Do you want to see him.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Yeah. Right in the face.
Please tell me you guys ran.
Marilyn: Why? Why do you think? It was a party! I had to keep some evidence so I could share it with the rest of the world.
REALLY!
Jeremy: what happened.. that was you. marilyn: All you
SHUT UP.
Welcome to tge digital age little sister.
SO thats it then.
Pat: Im not ashmaed of you. SHOCKED, definitly, but-
See?? I knew it!
I screamed, GET A ROOM
Seriously?
Catherine: you really couldn't see through this girl?
She was nice to me, she was there for me. I mean, I know it wasn't your thing. You didn't want to hand out with us and that was fine! But then... I never really talked to you anymore. And mar and I just started doing more and more stuff together. It was fun!
Pat: only the person who posted the video can choose to take it down.
She'll never delete it. Ever. My life is ruined.
... and thats when i got the bright idea to go up to go up to the two and scare the living crap out of them.
So what did you do?
Pat: ...in front of everyone, thats perfectly normal??
So you know I wouldn't-
Matt: I may have mentioned it, yeah.
Stan too?
Patrick: Jenna? Jenna, open this door! JENNA!
Status update: guys what you just saw... that's a one time thing. It's not something I would normally do.
What?
Take this down. Now.
Matt: Not this time.
Thanks guys.
No I mean, actually talk to him. You know, IRL.
That'll be even worse!
Yeah.
Thats it. Im exposed.
Pat: Okay, TIME OUT! time out. It might be her video, but jenna, youre in the video.
Thats what I said to her.
Marliyn: Yes!
The entire world needs to this!
Catherine: Yeah shouldnt every video get screened.
There has to be something!
... And if they dont die of a sudden heart attack, they'll wonder, why did she hide this from us.
Theyre gonna hate me.
Tell mom and dad... they can show us what to do.
Theyre gonna kill me.
No they wont.
Theyre gonna think their daughter's a-
Pat: Someones here to see you. Jeremy: No-NO! Stupid internet!
Theyre not home, are they?
Patrick: Two... jermey: sort of. patrick: one- (open door) jermey: Matt??
WHAT? WHAT?! what do you All want from me?!!
Marilyn: ... the most hilarious video ever seen on the Internet! "Jenna wasted: An epic night!"
WHAT?!
Marilyn: Nope, not good enough. This needs to be-
WHY?? Why does this need to be shared? Was it just not enough for you to drag me down to your level-
Matt: I thought you were more your own person. That you didn't care what everyone else was doing. That's why I liked you.
Wait a minute, you said liked.
You were acting the same way I was my first time. You seemed really on edge.
Wait, wait, youre first time?
Patrick: I'm not going anywhere.
Wel go ahead. Say it.
Marilyn: Do you have friends?
Well last time I checked I was with Matt. There's everyone in the Literary Club. Then theres Cathy and then theres you but I'm not even so sure about that anymore.
I just... got sick of typing.... I had to come talk to you. In real life.
Well. Youre here now. Talk.
Matt: obviously not.
What about you?? What were you thinking when u just up and left??
Patrick: But it wont happen again, right?
What am i supposed to do?
Matt: Hey Jenna.
What are you doing here Matt?
Pat: Hey Jenna?
What is it?
Patrick: Wrote on Jenna's wall: "Hey you! Shouldn't you be in bed?"
What's it to you mom?
Marilyn: Well? Do you?
What?
Youre going to have to tell them too you know.
What?
Matt: I'm saying-
What? What are you saying? (Beat) Matt? Matt answer me! What are you saying? MATT!?
Catherine: not because of you that was a nobrainer. But because of Jenna.
What? Why me?
Jeremy: yeah like you didn't do exactly that to me.
What??
Yeah..
When was this?
So what?
Who are you looking at? What do you see?
Matt: Okay, hes not always like that. Cath. guys?
Why do you even hang out with him?
Matt: I'm sorry! It helps me think!
Wrote on Matt's wall: "Hey you! Check your messages!"
Jeremy: Don't talk about leasing me on... consider us even.
Wwwwwow. Seriously?
... we didnt stop until we got back into the house and locked the door.
Wwwwwow. So, what happened after that?
Yeah they did... I think the whole underage drinking thing really freaked them out.
Yeah no kidding.
Catherine: No its not-
Yes it is! Even after we graduate, Ill always be remembered as that one girl.
Catherine: Really?
Yes!
Patrick: wait, Matt??
Yes!
Marilyn: MY level?
Yes, your level and make me act like a complete WORE in front of all these people?
Jeremy: I knew-
You KNEW i'm not a party girl. You KNEW Id never gotten drunk before! And you KNEW id do something stupid. (Beat).
I had to talk to you. You know about this.
You broke up with me what two minutes ago? On the internet. And now you wanna talk to me?
Catherine: Nit when you're sober. Only when you're plastered. Isn't that nice to know.
You could have stayed! You could have still helped me!
Jeremy: Oh, so now this is my fault?
You knew.
Marilyn: ... maybe meet a few people, have a fun time!
You make it sound like Im this... shut-in. Like I have no friends at all.
Matt: I didn't want to leave you with all those people.. I thought...
You thought I had more control.
Jeremy: Well. I didn't know you'd do that.
You're a creep.
Jeremy: wouldn't you like to know.
You've been nothing but the biggest jerk to me the whole year. You gave me more than I could handle, you led me on-
No its not okay. Im a horrible friend.
Youre not!
Mom, dad, I did something really stupid.
just like that?
Well, i puked all over the rug and passed out. Anyway the moral of the story is-
let me guess, dont drink too much?
Marilyn: Uh, Jen, only I can do that.
no no no no NO...
Patrick: Jenna? What is this? Whats going on??
oh SHIT>
Pat: And thats not all. If the police get a hold of it-
the police?
I didnt break up with you-
then what the hell was that all about?
Pat: and the first thing theyre gonna see-
they google you???!
Matt, are you gonna let your girlfriend talk to me like that?
you're incredible. You really are.
Patrick: what?
Say you're ashamed of me. Everyone else is, my own boyfriend just dumped me online-
Jeremy: Yup.
Seriously??
Cath: Guys! Matt:huh
what is it?
Anyway, he punched me.
He PUNCHED you?
What did he say?
He said he liked me.
Pat: okay Jenna...
He used past tense! I read it! I saw it on the screen!
Matt: How bout jeremy! He deliverately got her drunk.
He's just a creep.
Marilyn: Yeah?
Get it off.
If you dont do it, I will.
