I was in a play and I didn’t know my lines

I was in a high school play and my character was this flamboyant aunt (the type of aunt that would hug you until you can’t breathe). The only problem was I didn’t know my lines. I only had 2 scenes, but they were a vital part of the play. I quickly took someone’s script to memorize my part but it was all gibberish! I got a gist of the storyline....I was meeting my nephew’s fiancée. While I was memorizing my part I didn’t realize that it was already time for me to go on. I quickly grab a water bottle and run on stage (I almost brought my script on stage but I threw it on the ground before I went on). I ran to my spot and improvised some lines to explain why I was late. I said in a loud southern accent, “sorry I’m late I was grabbing you guys some water, but while I was getting it I got thirsty myself.” Then I continued with the play. I said to my nephew’s fiancée, “oh gosh you’re so pretty! Are you a model?” This is not a real play I don’t know why my brain made me dream this. This is what happens when you read Stanislavski’s “An Actor Prepares” before you go to sleep haha.
