SEAWEED/PENNY [JAIL SCENE]

(The lights dim on the jail and brighten on PENNY'S bedroom. )

(SEAWEED appears in the window.)

SEAWEED

Psst! Penny!

PENNY

Seaweed! Shhh! Don't let my mother hear you. She’s punishing me for going to a riot without

her permission.

SEAWEED

I've come to rescue the fair maiden from her tower.

PENNY

Oh, Seaweed, you do care!

SEAWEED

From the first moment I saw you I knew that even the colors of our skin couldn't keep us apart.

(struggling with the rope)

But, damn, your mama sure can tie one on.

PENNY

Hurry, Seaweed.

TRACY/SEAWEED [SPECIAL ED]

(Lights up on TRACY in SPECIAL ED. Around HER are SEAWEED, LORRAINE,

GILBERT, NATALIE, and DUANE at their desks. GILBERT is chasing NATALIE around the

room. TRACY enters from behind blackboard.

TRACY

Special Ed! Is there no pity for a teen just trying to fit in?

SEAWEED

Maybe you oughtn't try so hard?

TRACY

Excuse me. You get in as much trouble as I do. And I've never seen you complain.

SEAWEED

Oh but I do. This is my way of complaining.

(SEAWEED turns on a small transistor radio.

MUSIC starts and he does a soulful little dance.)

TRACY

Hey, that move's swift.

SEAWEED

(another step)

Here's a little somethin-somethin signified to say, "Hello, my name's Sea-weed-J-Stubbs.

What's yours baby?"

TRACY

That's unbelievable. Can I do that?

SEAWEED

I don't know. Can you?

(TRACY & SEAWEED dance together.)

TRACY

Hello. My name is Tracy Turnblad.

Tracy/ Seaweed (p.2)

GILBERT

Not bad for a white girl.

SEAWEED

Ain't no black and white up in here. Special Ed. is a rainbow experience.

(SEAWEED does another step)

TRACY

What's that step?

SEAWEED

Oh, this? I call this "Peyton Place After Midnight." I use it to attract the opposite sex.

(TRACY jumps in with HIM)

Fearless, girl. You really got it going on.

TRACY

Oh, my God! I just realized who you are. You dance on Negro Day.

LORRAINE

Of course he does. His mom hosts the show.

TRACY

Your mom is Motormouth Maybelle, the DJ? That makes you like royalty! Negro Day is

the best. I wish every day was Negro Day.

SEAWEED

At our house it is.

TRACY

Corny Collins is hosting the sophomore hop tomorrow night. If he saw me dancing like this

with you, maybe he'd put me on his show.

GILBERT

If you two danced together in public the only show you'll get on is the eleven o'clock news.

SEAWEED

So, how do you feel about Special Ed now?

TRACY

I’m a bad, bad girl, who needs to be punished.

(The school bell rings.)

INEZ/SEAWEED [THE MADISON]

INEZ

Hurry, Seaweed, the dance has already started!

SEAWEED

Alright, but remember, you gotta dance with your crowd and I gotta dance with mine.

INEZ

Look, they're doing the Madison, my favorite!

SEAWEED

You keep your eye on Corny. This could be your big chance.

INEZ

Then you better keep an eye on me.

CORNY

Now when I say "Hit it," show me a big, bad Baltimore Box......... hit it!

INEZ

How come we always have to dance way over here?

SEAWEED

I don't know. There's them and there's us. That's just the way it is.

LINK

Hey, little darlin'. Haven't we met somewhere?

INEZ

Ohmigod, Link Larkin just spoke to me. I'll never wash this ear again.

CORNY

Hey, cupcake. What's your name?

INEZ

I'm Inez.

CORNY

What else you got hiding in those Buster Browns?

INEZ

Well, here’s one I picked up in Special Ed. It’s called “Peyton Place After Midnight.” I use it

to attract the opposite sex.
