Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like me. That’s right. I used to be the Old Spice guy. You didn’t remember that, did you? But now you do, and that’s how memories work. You see, memories are moments that we remember. That’s what makes them memories. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re back in Dеrry, Maine. Why? Because I nеver left. What’s kept me here these past 27 years? I don’t know the answer to that. No one does. Not even Stephen King knows the answer to that question. But, what I do know, is that it’s time to call in a promise that once was made, because Pennywise is back. How do I know this? Well, let’s just say

I can feel It coming in the air tonight
Oh, no

Oh, hold on. Hello

BILL
Betty bought her Bitter Butter

MIKE
Bill, you’re still doing tongue twisters. That’s amazing

BILL
I saw the missed call. I’m sorry, fella. New phone, who dis?

MIKE
Bill, it’s Mike Hanlon. From Derry?

BILL
Mike, from D-D-D-Derry? My stutter! It’s b-b-b-back

MIKE
Yeah, well it’s not just your stuh-stuh-stutter that’s back, Bill. It is back
BILL
It? It? I’m sorry, I’m not really following you here

MIKE
It? The creature that killed Georgie? You do remember Georgie, don’t you? Your little brother who was brutally murdered at the tender age of 7?

BILL
Georgie, Georgie… huh. Yeah, the name G-G-G-G-Georgie isn’t ringing any b-b-b-bells

MIKE
How is it that I’ve been macrodosing for the past 27 years and my memory is still better than yours?

BILL
Sing it!

MIKE
First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE
The way that things have been, oh
BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE, BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Second thing second

MIKE
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, MIKE, STAN
I'm the one at the sail

MIKE
I’m the master of my sea, oh

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE
The master of my sea, oh

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
MIKE, BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain!

MIKE
Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them

MIKE, BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Rain

MIKE
My love, my love, my drive, it came from...

MIKE, BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

BILL
Oh my God, Georgie! I remember my promise, Mike. I’ll b-b-be there

MIKE
I knew I could count on you

BEV
Hello, this is Beverly Marsh. I’m still trapped in the same patterns of abuse I’ve experienced all my life, but let’s leave that offstage. Who’s calling?

BEN
This is Ben Hanscomb. I used to be really fat, but after 27 years of starving myself, I now am objectively the hottest guy in this show. Who’s this?

MIKE
It’s Mike, from Derry

BEV AND BEN
Mike, from Derry? I don’t remember any Mike , from Derry

MIKE
Okay, you two, this isn’t going to make much sense at first but listen up

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard
Has turned your spirit to a dove, oh

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE
Your spirit up above, oh

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE, BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
I was chokin' in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin'
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like… oh
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer

BEV
Don’t worry, Mike. Not even my incredibly abusive husband will keep me away

BEN
I’ll be there. But don’t expect to recognize me. I’m not the fat one anymore

EDDIE
This is Eddie Kaspbrack. I’m still scared I’m going to die, but now I get paid for it, because I’m a risk analyst

RICHIE
This is Richie Tozier. I still make jokes about fucking your mom, but now I get paid for it, because I’m a comedian

STAN
This is Stan Uris, and I’m still Jewish, and as far as I can tell, I don’t get paid for it

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE
Last things last
By the grace of fire and flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE
The blood in my veins, oh

BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Ooh

MIKE
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...

MIKE, BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer

MIKE, BEV, BEN (simultaneous with below)
I was chokin' in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin'
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and

RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN, BILL (simultaneous with above)
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer

MIKE, BEV, BILL, BEN, RICHIE, EDDIE, STAN
It rained down
It rained down, like…
Pain
