more breaking of the fourth wall
Enter ANDREW, ALYSSA
ANDREW
Ugh, I thought Matt loved me, but I was wrong. He's just a two-timing ass.
ALYSSA
I'm sorry. But you went for Olivia for whatever reason. Things will work out.
ANDREW
No they won't. There are awful things to come.
ALYSSA
Oh because our author's making us channel a certain Shakespearean tragedy?
They embrace briefly.
Enter ZACKY
ANDREW
Your frontman two-timed me. He completely ripped out my heart and STOMPED ON IT.
ZACKY
No, Andrew. He loves you.
ANDREW
Bullshit. May he die a rotten death.
ZACKY
He did, Andrew. He killed himself. Because he couldn't bear to be without you. He sang a dirge to your love, then said, "Oh, Andrew. My Andronicus Prime" and shot himself.
ANDREW
He sang a dirge?
ZACKY
Have you listened to our Nightmare album? You heard "Victim"?
ALYSSA
Did he put on a nice falsetto again?
ANDREW
God damn it Alyssa, shut up. Matt's dead!
ZACKY
Yeah.
ANDREW
He loved me.
ZACKY
Very much so. He couldn't live without you. And he killed himself for it.
ANDREW

ALYSSA sits ANDREW down
ZACKY
Maybe you need time alone now.
Exit ZACKY
ANDREW sobs into ALYSSA's shoulder and calms down after a while
ANDREW
You know what needs to be done, Alyssa.
ALYSSA
[deadpanned] What, stab you?
ANDREW draws a sword
ALYSSA
Where did you even get that from?
ANDREW
Author's artistic license. Go with it.
ALYSSA
Oh, fucking...you can't ask me to kill you.
ANDREW
Do what I tell you, Alyssa. Take the sword and stab me. I'm ready.
ALYSSA
I'm not. [a very pregnant pause] God help me.
ALYSSA kisses ANDREW full on the mouth, picks up the sword, and stabs herself
ANDREW
No!
