Pepper

Way to go, Susie-Q.

Snare-Drum

Make those monster faces, Hatchet. Please.

Ramona

Goddamn gopher’s digging up my front yard. What are you teenagers waiting for? Turkey Point is open for business! Let’s celebrate! Yee-ha!

Belvedere

Come on.

Ramona

Come on.

Belvedere

Come on, everybody. Come on in. Today’s a special day for me and your grandmother. We’ve been together ten whole years.

Ramona

I’m just so proud of all my Drape children. Oh, Wanda, you sure is pretty in them tight clothes, all painted up like trash.

Wanda

I wish you and Belvedere were my parents.

Ramona

Oh… Now, Milton… boy, you are everything a man should be. You’re young, stupid and mean.

Milton

We’re gonna play some cool music for you tonight, Ramona.

Ramona

And, Hatchet-Face. Oh, honey. You’re just like me. Now, you put the “T” in “tough”. So hard, you could’ve been eating nails
for breakfast. But that’s the way a woman’s got to be these days.

Hatchet-Face

I’d kick a Square’s ass for you in a minute, Mrs Rickettes.

Ramona

Oh, this is the best gang my grandson could ever have.

Pepper

Grandma, I’m so happy all knocked up… I wish I was having triplets.

Ramona

Well, we’ve got a little surprise for your young’un in your oven. You show her, Bel.

Belvedere

Sure will.

Cry-Baby

Oh, Pepper, ain’t that cute?

Pepper

It’s beautiful, Grandma.

Ramona

Cry-Baby. When you was a boy, you had to be the man of this family.

Belvedere

But I taught you how to dress, didn’t I, Cry-Baby?

Cry-Baby

Sure did, Uncle Bel.

Ramona

Oh, well. You’re the future now, boy. You’re the only future for this godforsaken family. And I want you to go out there tonight and
sing, boy. I want you to sing your heart out. You can show him now, Belvedere. This took a lot of hubcaps, Cry-Baby.

Hatchet-Face

Wow.

Pepper

Whoa.

Snare-Drum

Cool.

Susie-Q

Cool.

Pepper

Wow.

Snare-Drum

That’s neat.

Cry-Baby

Grandmother, Uncle Belvedere… you’ve made me the happiest juvenile delinquent in Baltimore. And guess what? I met a girl!

Allison (singing)

My friends all know it. How I adore him. I’ve whispered to angels. What I’d do for him. He is the answer. To a teenage prayer.
He won’t go steady. The crowd has told me. But I keep waiting. To have him hold me. Why won’t you listen? To a teenage prayer.
I wait by the window at seven. And chill when my thrill passes by. His kiss could send me to heaven. Into his arms I would fly…
My girlfriend, Betty. Tells me he’s lazy. But I know Betty. Loves him like crazy. He is the answer to a teenage prayer. Yes, he
is the answer…

Mrs Vernon Williams

All right, girls. What this is, this is unfortunately a red alert. So please take your duck-and-cover positions immediately. It,
it is only an air-raid drill. There are no atom bombs actually being dropped.

Baldwin

You were incredible, honey. Where did you learn to sing like that?

Allison

Just practicing. Baldwin.

Mrs Vernon Williams

All right, boys and girls. That’s the all-clear signal. You can come out now. Everyone is safe and sound. Stay in your places.

Baldwin

Whiffle. Is he here? Is he here? I can’t see anything.

Square

Yeah, that’s him. Cry-Baby Walker.

Cry-Baby

I’m sorry about this afternoon, Mrs Vernon Williams. Is Allison home? ‘Cos, er, I’m going to sing tonight and I thought she might
like to hear me. Aagh!

Mrs Vernon Williams

Baldwin! Mind your manners.

Baldwin

This is what we think of your kind of music.

Allison

How dare you hit him! You don’t own me, Baldwin. I have the right to hear Cry-Baby sing.

Baldwin

Don’t get all worked up, honey. The punk got what he deserved.

Cry-Baby

Come on.

Mrs Vernon Williams

Allison.

Square

Get up. Get up. Go!

Mrs Vernon Williams

Allison.

Cry-Baby

Hop on, honey.

Mrs Vernon Williams

Just one minute, young lady.

Cry-Baby

Listen, I’ll take good care of her, Mrs Vernon Williams. I promise. And it’s okay about my face. It don’t hurt much.

Allison

Please. It’s not a school night and I’ve been a good girl. Just one night of happiness, that’s all I ask.

Mrs Vernon Williams

But… what if you get your dress dirty?

Allison

Thank you, grandmother.

Cry-Baby

You okay? I didn’t get no axle grease on you, did I?

Allison

No. No, I’m fine.

Cry-Baby

You been to Turkey Point before?

Allison

My grandmother wouldn’t let me. She calls it the Redneck Riviera.

Cry-Baby

It’s where I live. Beautiful, ain’t it?

Allison

It’s really wild. But I’m, I’m afraid that I’m not gonna fit in here. You know, with your friends and stuff.

Cry-Baby

You’re cool, Allison. You just look Square. Underneath it all, I think you’re really hep.

Hatchet-Face

Well, what have we here?

Wanda

First Square to ever set foot in Turkey Point.

Pepper

Hey, fine mama. Welcome to the Jukebox Jamboree.

Cry-Baby

These are the Cry-Baby girls. That’s Wanda.

Wanda

Dig it, babe. You need a new look.

Hatchet-Face

Don’t you got tits? Stick ’em out, for God’s sake.

Cry-Baby

That’s Hatchet-Face. She don’t mean no harm.

Pepper

First thing a Cry-Baby girl learns, our bazooms are our weapons.

Cry-Baby

Now, Pepper’s pregnant. But she can fight like a man.

Wanda

I wouldn’t be caught dead in a full skirt.

Pepper

Hey girls, what do you think? Let’s give Allison here a bad-girl beauty makeover. Are you game?

Allison

Sure. Think I got what it takes?

Cry-Baby

You got it, Allison. You got it raw.

Ramona

Hey, hey, hey! Dig it all you hep cats and cool chicks. You know me. Ramona Rickettes! Now let me introduce to you the Cry-Baby
Combo… Milton, Pepper, Wanda, Hatchet-Face.

Snare-Drum & Susie-Q

Hi, Mom.

Ramona

And now, the baddest baby of them all… the man you came here for… the big boo-hoo… the terrible teardrop… ladies and gentlemen, my grandson,
Cry-Baby!

Cry-Baby(singing)

Well, one for all and all for one. And all we want is to have some fun. Squares beware of our property. Yeah, if you’re looking to rumble,
you’re looking at me. ‘Cos I’m the king. ‘Cos I’m the king.

Cry-Baby Combo (singing)

King cry baby.

Cry-Baby (singing)

Yeah, I’m the king.

Cry-Baby Combo (singing)

King cry baby.

Cry-Baby (singing)

A king with a tear in my eye. If you mess with the king, you’re gonna cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry. Well, I was
born on the wrong side of the tracks. In the back seat of a stolen Cadillac. I had my first cigarette before I could walk. And I was
strumming this guitar before I could talk. ‘Cos I’m the king.

Cry-Baby Combo (singing)

King cry baby.

Cry-Baby (singing)

Yeah, I’m the king.

Cry-Baby Combo (singing)

King cry baby.

Cry-Baby (singing)

Oh, I’m the king.

Cry-Baby Combo (singing)

King cry baby.

Cry-Baby (singing)

A king cry baby with a tear in my eye. If you mess with the king, you’re gonna cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry. Well,
I’m a lonely king who needs a queen. Yeah, you’re the sweetest hunk of sugar that I’ve ever seen. Ain’t got a ring or a crown for you.
Well, if I had your love. I’d lose these cry baby blues.

Cry-Baby Combo (singing)

She’s the queen.

Ramona

Go on now, honey.

Belvedere

Go on.

Ramona

Go on.

Cry-Baby Combo (singing)

She’s the queen.

Allison (singing)

Well, let people talk, I don’t care. Let me prove to you, daddy, that I ain’t no Square.

Cry-Baby (singing)

You be my queen and I’ll be your king. Yeah, but if you leave my hive, you’re gonna feel my sting. ‘Cos you’re my queen.

Allison (singing)

You’re the king.

Cry-Baby & Allison (singing)

King, queen.

Cry-Baby (singing)

A king cry baby with my queen by my side.

Cry-Baby & Allison (singing)

And if you mess with us, man, you’re gonna cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry. Cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry. Cry,
baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry.

Cry-Baby

Kiss me. Kiss me hard.

Allison

I’ve never given a French kiss before.

Cry-Baby

Watch. It’s easy. You just open your mouth… and I open mine… and we wiggle our tongues together. And it feels real sexy.

Allison

I won’t get mononucleosis, will I?

Cry-Baby

No, Allison. Just try it. If you don’t like it, I promise I’ll stop.

Square

Break the window.

Cry-Baby

I’m sorry, Allison. It’s just that… you’re so beautiful.

Allison

I want to let you, but I can’t. For my parents’ sake. Cry-Baby, they’re both dead. I’m an orphan.

Cry-Baby

I’m sorry, Allison. No wonder we’re together, honey. I’m an orphan, too.

Allison

You are?

Cry-Baby

Yes. And orphans have special needs.

Allison

Just on the outside of the shirt, okay?

Cry-Baby

Is it okay with you?

Allison

Yes. Oh, yes. My parents were, they were good people and they loved me.

Cry-Baby

I want you. I need you. I love you, too, Allison.

Allison

They had to go on a business trip together. It was their first airplane ride. Oh, Cry-Baby, your fingers feel so good.

Cry-Baby

I’ve been saving it up for a girl like you, honey.

Allison

Mummy and Daddy took separate planes for safety. In case one plane crashed, I’d still have a living parent. But, Cry-Baby, both planes
crashed and I never saw my parents alive again.

Cry-Baby

God damn! Lightning!

Allison

What’s the matter, Cry-Baby?

Cry-Baby

Everything’s the matter.

Allison

It’s just a thunderstorm. Heat lightning. It’s sexy.

Cry-Baby

It’s not sexy. Electricity makes me insane.

Allison

Why, Cry-Baby, why?

Cry-Baby

Here’s why. Electricity killed my parents.

Allison

They died in the electric chair?

Cry-Baby

That’s right, Allison. My father was the Alphabet Bomber. He may have been crazy, but he was my pop. The only one I ever had.

Allison

God. I heard about the Alphabet Bomber. Bombs exploding in the, in the airport and barbershop.

Cry-Baby

That’s right, all in alphabetical order. Carwash, drugstore. I used to lay in my cradle and hear him scream in his sleep.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G… Pow! Pow!

Allison

But your mom?

Cry-Baby

My mother tried to stop him. She couldn’t even spell, for Christ’s sake, but they fried her, too. But I’ll pay them all
back, Allison. Any that’s why every day, I gotta do something rotten for my parents’ sake, and I cry for what I have to do.
But not much, though. One single, salty tear… is all they’ll ever suck out of this Cry-Baby.

Pepper

Cry-Baby!

Lenora

I’m going to have his baby.

Baldwin

Allison!

Allison

Oh, my God. What have they done to you?

Baldwin

Allison, come home. They beat me and kicked me. All because I love you.

Cry-Baby

Get on.
