ACT FOUR

16 INT. SEA CAVE – NIGHT
Harry walks into the cave and faces Voldemort. The merman slowly surround Harry from behind.

VOLDEMORT: I love a good entrance.

HARRY: How are you with death scenes?

VOLDEMORT: (evil laugh )

GINNY: Harry, I swear I didn’t do it.

HARRY: Don’t worry, you’re not going anywhere. (to Voldemort) Deal’s this: I can’t kill you, you torture me in her place.

VOLDEMORT: What if I kill you?

HARRY: Trust me. It won’t help.

VOLDEMORT: That’s gloomy.

HARRY: That’s life.

VOLDEMORT: Come now, is that really how you feel?

HARRY: I think you already know…

"Life"
HARRY: (verse one)
Life's a show and we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts.
It's all right if something’s come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along.
Where there's life there's hope
Every day's a gift
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work
So hard
All day
To be like other students.
To fit into this glittering world.
Don't give me songs.
(Dumbledore, Luna, Neville, Ron, and Hermione run in)
DUMBLEDORE: (spoken) He needs backup. Luna, Hermione.
HARRY: Don't give me songs.
(Luna and Hermione take up positions behind Harry to be his backup singers and dancers. The three of them move in sync.)
HARRY: Give me something to sing about.
LUNA/HERMIONE: Ahhhhh...
HARRY: I need something to sing about.
LUNA/HERMIONE: Ahhhhh...
HARRY: (verse two)
Life's a song you don't get to rehearse.
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse.
Still my friends don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for.
All the joy life sends
Family and friends
All the twists and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well that
Depends
On if they let you go
On if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed
You leave the crowd.
HARRY: (verse three)
There was no pain
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out of Heaven.
So that's my refrain.
I live in Hell
'Cause I've been expelled from Heaven
I think I was in Heaven
So give me something to sing about.
Please give me something...
(Harry dances wildly and starts to smoke when Moaning Myrtle comes in and stops him)
MOANING MYRTLE: (verse four)
Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this: it's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal by living
You have to go one living
So one of us is living.
(Harry stares at Moaning Myrtle. Ginny walks forward).
GINNY: (spoken) The hardest thing in this world ... is to live in it.
