Debatable The Series: The Middle School Debate

Scene Six: Round Three- The Finale

COLONEL SANDERS

Why hello everyone. Sorry about that little mishap at the end of the second round there, but we promise you everything is okay and we hope to see a full recovery soon.

EUGENE

Oh my God. You did kill his great grandma-ma.

COLONEL SANDERS

Shush! (chuckles) As I was saying. At the end of round two, the point was awarded to Team Chicken for having a really good guest speaker. But let's forget about them for now and get to know a little bit about Eugene.

EUGENE

Finally, Hi Mom!

COLONEL SANDERS

How sweet. She must be very proud.

EUGENE

I sure hope so. I've been waiting for this all day-

COLONEL SANDERS sees JOSH for the first time and is enchanted by his masculine beauty.

COLONEL SANDERS

And sadly that's all the time we have for you. Thank you, Eugene. (beat) Ah, this must be your third person. Josh is it?

VINCENT

Unbelievable-

JOSH

Yes, Colonel!

COLONEL SANDERS

My, you're handsome younger lookin fella! I bet all the girls here just love you. (Beat) And my, you have such a nice firm handshake. Tell us, What are you?

JOSH

Excuse me? What? Oh, Well umm, I'm Hispanic.

DAKOTA

You're Mexican?

JOSH

Uh, Yes. But not all Hispanics are Mexican. Just so you know. I just happen to be Mexican... yup.

COLONEL SANDERS

So, are you from the States...or are you just hiding with your family? 

JOSH

Uh- no, no, no. I was born and raised here in the U.S.

COLONEL SANDERS

And do you work out? You look like you work out.

JOSH

I mean, sometimes. You see there used to be in this gang that would come to my how on Cinco de Mayo and-

DAKOTA

Oh no. Not on your birthday!?

JOSH

That's not, that's not my birthday-

COLONEL SANDERS

I sure hope it isn't otherwise they'd turn your ass into a pinata. (beat) But it looked like you got out of there okay and got your life back on track.

JOSH

I- I wasn't in the gang.
