Tre metri sopra il cielo parte 8

For more background information, check out the post I did two weeks ago about the first Act of the musical here. At the opening of Act II, we find Melchior and Wendla after they have completed their intimacy, they muse as they sing The Guilty Ones. Moritz has been tossed out by his family for his failure in school. He is wandering aimlessly, carrying a gun. He fights his feelings as he sings I Dont Do Sadness. He happens upon Ilse, the girl who was abused by her father. She is part of a tre metri sopra il cielo parte 8 artist colony, and invites Moritz to join her. The high-strung boy is frightened and refuses. Ilse sings Blue Wind, and leaves, hurt. Moritz reconsiders and calls for her, but she doesnt hear. This is a clip of Duncan Sheik performing the songs Blue Wind/I Dont Do Sadness in concert with Lauren Pritchard, who played Ilse on Broadway. Feeling lost and alone, Moritz shoots himself with the gun. At his funeral, Melchior chastises Moritz father for the pressure he applied to the boy, and then abandoning him. Back at school, the authorities are looking for a scapegoat so they dont have to admit they gave Moritz a failing grade even if he passed the test. They find the notes about sex Melchior had written for Moritz, and turn the blame on him. While Melchior knows he is not at fault, theres the moment you know youre Totally Fucked. The school achieves their goal, and get Melchior blamed and expelled. That evening, a rather cynical Hanschen shares a special time with Ernst and they sing The Word of Your Body Reprise. Wendla is not feeling well, and her mother takes her to the doctor. He tells Wendla she is anemic, but tells her mother the truth, she is pregnant. Her mother confronts her, but Wendla is confused. She couldnt be with child, because her mother told her how women gets pregnant, and she didnt do that. She becomes angry to learn her mother didnt tell her the truth, but the only thing her mother is interested in is to find out who is the father. She tells her about her relationship with Melchior. Meanwhile, Melchiors mother is angry that he is being punished so severely, not believing the school officials. However, once his parents learn he is the father of Wendlas baby, they know he must go to reform school, not knowing about Wendla. While at reform school, Melchior receives a note from Wendla he must wrestle away from other tough boys. He learns about her condition, and his impending fatherhood.
