I listen to the audio book, I've finished it once and i'm re-listening to it (its like, hours long so I listen to it day by day and bit by bit at a time when I can). And I actually listened to that scene today lol! Honestly this was so much better in my opinion, but that is just because Will is the best Jared in my opinion (and just hilarious and super fricking funny-) and you can't take that from me XD.
(edited) ok y'all I finished the *transcript* WILL: Just for clarity’s sake, uh, there’s a lot of dialogue in this passage- WILL: So when I’m reading Evan’s dialogue, i’m gonna stand here [Audience laughs] [All spoken by Will, but as Evan or Jared will be specified] WILL: And when I read Jared’s dialogue I’m gonna stand here. [Audience laughs again] WILL: There’s also a lot of stuff that is written WILL: And you’re gonna have to figure that out. WILL [reading]: Jared’s SUV swerves into the lot of Workout Heaven and slams into a parking spot. He walks past me through the revolving door of the gym. I follow him inside. Why are we here? [Will pauses] Oh, sorry. [Turns to the right] EVAN: Why are we here? Jared flashes a membership card to the muscle bro at the front desk and identifies me as his guest. EVAN: Do you work out here? JARED: No, but my parents think I do Jared says. JARED: Trust me, this is a great spot to do homework. JARED: Have you ever watched a woman run on a treadmill? EVAN: That’s n-not, uh, I don’t feel- JARED: Look, for this kind of job, I can’t be on my own network. JARED: Think of it as an extra precaution! JARED: Being on open Wi-Fi will make it harder for anyone to trace this back to us! He really does make what we’re doing sound unseemly. EVAN: Maybe we shouldn’t be doing this. EVAN: There’s gotta be another way. EVAN: If the Murphys ask me about the emails, I won’t respond! EVAN: It’s not like they’re gonna hunt me down, right? JARED: If you back out now, you still owe me the twenty dollars. Jared says, sitting down on the back bench. [??] I picture Zoe’s face. The look she had at lunch. Her parents probably have the same look right now. Heavy, and defeated. EVAN: Let’s just write one email and see what happens I say Jared opens a blank file on his laptop and begins typing. [Clears throat] JARED, as CONNOR: [With his voice comically deep] Yo, Evan, sorry it’s been a minute. JARED, as CONNOR: I’ve been all crazy and shit, ya feel me? [Audience laughs and claps] EVAN: Why are you making him talk like that? JARED: [Sarcastically] Like what? Jared says. EVAN: Y’know, like - that! EVAN: Just, make him talk normally! Jared erases everything and starts again. JARED, as CONNOR: [Overdramatic posh accent] Dearest Mister Hansen, JARED, as CONNOR: I am terribly sorry for the fact that I have failed to maintain contact. JARED, as CONNOR: Life has been most challenging of late. EVAN: Wait, now he sounds like a prince or something! EVAN: Just have him speak like you and I do! EVAN: And it has to match my letter exactly. Make it say “Dear Evan Hansen.” JARED: [Dryly] Why would you guys refer to each other by your full names? [Audience laughs] EVAN: I don’t know, just [??] try to do that, okay?! JARED: Suit yourself! JARED, as CONNOR: Dear Evan Hansen, JARED, as CONNOR: Sorry I’ve been out of touch. Things have been crazy! EVAN: That’s perfect! I say. JARED, as CONNOR: I want you to know that this whole time you’ve been on my mind. JARED, as CONNOR: [Deadpan] I rub my nipples every night [??] as I dream of your sweet, sweet face. [Audience cheers and claps] EVAN: Why would you write that?! I ask. JARED: I’m just trying to tell the truth! EVAN: Y’know, if you’re not going to take this seriously, then forget it. EVAN: These emails have to prove that we were actually friends. EVAN: They’ve got to be completely realistic!JARED: There is nothing UNrealistic about the love that one man feels for another! [Audience screams and claps] GIRL IN THE AUDIENCE: Yes!!! EVAN: Write down exactly what I say. EVAN [dictating]: Life without you has been hard. Jared laughs under his breath. JARED: Hard? EVAN: Fine, change it to rough! JARED: Kinky! [Audience laughs and claps] EVAN: Here. Let me try. EVAN, as CONNOR: Life without you has been difficult. EVAN, as CONNOR: I really miss talking to you about life and other stuff. JARED: [Sarcastically] Very specific! EVAN: Shut up!!EVAN, as CONNOR: I like my parents. JARED: Who says that? Jared asks. EVAN, as CONNOR: I love my parents, but I hate how much we fight. EVAN, as CONNOR: I should really stop smoking drugs. JARED: Smoking. Drugs. Jared asks. Jared shakes his head at me in disappointment. EVAN: Just fix it. This isn’t realistic-! [Will spins around] JARED: This isn’t realistic at all! EVAN: And how do you know; you barely knew Connor! He gives me another look. EVAN: The objective here is to show that I was a good friend. That I was trying to help him. JARED: [In that faux-irritated but low-key kind of admiring way that one does] Oh, my God. He grabs the laptop back. JARED, as CONNOR: I should really take your advice and stop smoking crack. EVAN [aghast]: CRACK?! I say. EVAN: That’s a little extreme, no? EVAN: Do people at our school actually smoke crack? JARED, as CONNOR: [Sort of resigned] I should really take your advice and stop smoking pot. JARED, as CONNOR: Then, everything might be okay! JARED, as CONNOR: And I’ll try to be nicer! Wish me luck. EVAN: That’s not bad, actually!I say. EVAN: Now sign it at the bottom, “Sincerely, me.” JARED: Not even gonna ask. Jared says. [Applause]
0:49 Can we talk about his stutter here? Will was BUILT for the shy / nervous kid. That’s why I’m so happy he plays Jeremy in Be More Chill. He can be so cool and yet such a loser at the same time, I love it about him.
"I'll try to be nicer, wish me luck" jared says that. jared. he says that. he's trying!! he's writing self insert kleinsen fic about him and Evan he's TRYING this is what i'm Trying To Communicate nbhghhgshgd
That kinky sounds almost exactly like the one from the cast recording. Edit-before anyone asks, I know that Will is the guy on the cast recording (I have too much of a crush to not know). I'm just saying that not everyone can match how they something at one point all the time.
I have two copies of this book and still haven't read it because I'm lazy like that. I feel like if they released an audiobook of him reading the whole thing, I could finally get there.
I really wish that the audiobook featured more actors. Ben Ross and Mike Faist did excellent, and Mallory's vocals were beautiful, but I wish we could've heard Mallory speak as Zoe, or hear Will actually read Jared's parts, or also hear Mike reading as Connor in chapter's with Evan's POV. It would've made the audiobook far more immersive to me.
I wish they'd kept more of the rhyming from the lyrics and more of the dialogue from the text. Maybe it would have sounded a little weird, but it wouldn't be /that/ bad. I mean, if you're a fan of the musical you were really singing the song instead of what was actually written (I joke)
Hi, I don't know you at all but I want to ask you a huge favor please ;;;;; I speak Spanish and I do not understand English very much unless it is written. Could you put Will's words in a text? write everything he says and then I will do the job of translating it and being able to understand it... It would be very useful if you help me doing that, I am so sorry for the inconvenience but I would REALLY like to understand what happens...
@@miaocchan1227 I don't mean to sound rude, but you could turn on the subtitles. You could even auto translate it to Spanish, though I don't know how accurate it would be (probably using Google Translate). Try that first, but if it doesn't work I'll copy the subtitles into the comment box for you. [edit] okay, never-mind the subtitles kind of suck
@@miaocchan1227 (He's mainly just reading an excerpt from the book, I loaned mine to a friend so I might be a little off since I'm relying on the audio. Also, it's the excerpt from Sincerely, Me so it really closely matches the song) Will: for clarity's sake when I'm reading Evan - there's a lot of dialogue in this passage - so when I'm reading Evan's dialogue I'm going to stand here (turns one way), and when I'm reading Jared's dialogue I'm going to stand here (turns other way). There's also a lot of stuff that is written, and you're going to have to figure that out. Jare'd SUV swerves into the parking lot of work out heaven, and slams into the parking lot. He walks past me through the revolving door or the gym. I follow him. "Why are we here?" (realizes he forgot to change positions for the dialogue, turns wrong way) Oh, sorry "Why are we here?" Jared flashes a membership card to the muscled bro at the front desk and identifies me as his guest. "Do you work out here?" I ask. "No, but my parents think I do." Jared says. "Trust me, this is a great spot to do homework. Have you ever watched a woman run on a treadmill?" [Evan stutters] "Look, for this kind of job I can't be on my own network, think of it as an extra precaution. Using an open wifi will make it harder for anyone to trace it back to us."

Its the fact that im going to NY on my birthday this year for my birthday THIS year. Guess what closed on my birthday last year? Yeah DEH. I wasnt a full blown theater kid last year around that time. The tour isn’t coming near me. But besides that Will Roland could run me over with a car and id apologize for being in his way.
