September 1st, 1989
Dear Diary:
I believe I'm a good person. You know, I think that there's good in everyone, but—here we are! First day of senior year! And uh... I look around at these kids that I've known all my life and I ask myself—what happened?

[KIDS, sung]
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-eyes! Poser! Lard-ass!

[Notre Dame]
You can't be saying that!

[SEC (director)]
Stick to the script.

[Notre Dame]
We were so tiny, happy and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased

[KIDS]
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!

[Notre Dame]
Well that's a bit extreme-

[Director/SEC]
Script, Dame, the script!

[Notre Dame]
Singing and clapping, laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste

[KIDS]
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!

[Notre Dame]
Then we got bigger, that was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome

(spoken)
Oh, sorry!

(sung)
Welcome to my school, this ain't no high school
This is the Thunderdome

Hold your breath and count the days, we're graduating soon

[KIDS]
White trash!

[Notre Dame]
College will be paradise, if I'm not dead by June!

But I know, I know, life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray for a better way
If we changed back then, we could change again
We can be beautiful...

[A PREPPY STUD knocks a HIPSTER DORK to the floor.]

[HIPSTER DORK, spoken]
Ow!

[Notre Dame, sung]
Just not today
(spoken)
Hey, are you okay?

[HIPSTER DORK, spoken]
Get away, nerd

[Notre Dame, spoken]
Well that's rude

[KIDS, sung]
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!

[Notre Dame]
Wait, aren't we all gay tho how is that an-

[SEC]
THE SCRIPT GOD DAMN YOU

[Notre Dame]
...Things will get better soon as my letter
Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Wake from this coma, take my diploma
Then I can blow this town
Dream of ivy-covered walls and smoky French cafés

[Notre Dame jostles Tigers.]

[Tigers, spoken]
Watch it!

[Notre Dame]
Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze!
[Tigers depends Notre Dame's lunch tray.]

[TIgers, spoken]
Ooooops

[Notre Dame, spoken]
Tigers. Third year as linebacker and eighth year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick

[Tigers, spoken]
What did you say to me, skank?

[Notre Dame, spoken]
Aah, nothing!

[sung, (KIDS)]
But I know, I know...
I know, I know...
Life can be beautiful
Beautiful
I pray, I pray
I pray, I pray
For a better way
For a better way
We were kind before;
(Oooh...)
We can be kind once more
(Oooh...)
We can be beautiful..,
(Oooh... Beautiful...)
