Ocean: Judges, student body, colleagues, friends, ominous novelty machine… I had a
speech prepared for this very occasion, but I simply cannot read it.
(She rips a piece of paper.)
MISCHA: How could she have speech for this?
Noel: *shrugs*
OCEAN: I am just going to speak from my heart. I’ve known most of these folks since Pre-
K… I love them all…Constance Blackwood, my best friend forever, my BFF—
(CONSTANCE is sitting next to JANE who has locked
eyes with her.)
CONSTANCE: Ocean, she’s -
OCEAN: Don’t interrupt, sweetie. Constance is the salt of the earth… Our 'Mary Main-
Street' looking for her 'Joe Six-Pack'. Sure, she has some serious self-esteem
issues, why wouldn’t she? That’s why I formed an improv duo, as a confidence
building exercise—sound off!
Constance: *Jane keeps staring at her*Ocean She's-
Ocean: My time Sweetie *deep inhale* Look, I’ve seen enough reality TV to get what you want us to do here… Who’s
the best? I mean sure, grades, humanitarian efforts, extracurricular activities,
prestigious university, spiritual mastery of both Judaism and Catholicism-Nailed
my Confirmation and Bat Mitzvah, in the same week. And I’m not even bragging
about that because it’s against my Buddhist beliefs…I am the best here, by any
metric of society I get that…. (trembling voice) …but if that’s how worth is
measured, I want no part of it! Look… some of us are left wing, some of us are
right wing… but the last time I checked it takes two wings to fly!! *points to the right* We are
community! *points the the left* We are Family! We are the World! *puts hands up*
Karnak: Ocean O'Connell heroically concedes
Ocean: she does what
Karnak: I respect you for taking moral the high ground next
Ocean: wait I was trying to prove to you that I'm a good person
Karnak: Duly noted NEXT
Ocean: No I'm urging you taking the responsible choice here for the betterment of humanity
