J.D.:]

Think. Long and hard. Conjure her up in your mind. What would she say?

What is her final statement to a cold, uncaring planet?

[VERONICA:]

"Dear world...

Believe it or not, I knew about fear;

I knew the way loneliness stung

I hid behind smiles and crazy hot clothes;

I learned to kiss boys with my tongue."

[J.D.:]

That's good.

[VERONICA:]

"But oh, the world, it held me down;

It weighed like a concrete prom queen crown."

[HEATHER CHANDLER:]

No one thinks a pretty girl has feelings

No one gets her insecurity

I am more than shoulder pads and makeup

No one sees the me inside of me...

Jesus, you're making me sound like Air Supply!

[J.D.:]

Keep going. This has to be good enough to fool the cops.

[MCCORD:]

Whoa! Is it murder?

[MILNER:]

No, look. Here's a suicide note.

[VERONICA, HEATHER, COPS:]

"They couldn't see past my rockstar mystique

They wouldn't dare look in my eyes

But just underneath was a terrified girl

Who clings to her pillow and cries!

My looks were just like prison bars;

[VERONICA, COPS:]

They've left me a myriad of scars."

[HEATHER CHANDLER:]

"Myriad", Nice.

[VERONICA, HEATHER, COPS:]

"No one thinks a pretty girl has substance. That's the curse of popularity."

[PRINCIPAL GOWAN:]

"I am more than just a source of handjobs."

[VERONICA, HEATHER, GOWAN, COPS:]

"No one sees the me inside of me."

[PRINCIPAL GOWAN:]

Heather Chandler is not your everyday suicide.

[COACH RIPPER:]

You should cancel classes.

[PRINCIPAL GOWAN:]

No way, Coach

I send the kids home before lunch and the switchboard'll light up like a Christmas tree.

[MS. FLEMING:]

Our children are dying!

I suggest we get everyone into the cafeteria and just talk and feel, together.

[PRINCIPAL GOWAN:]

Thank you, Ms. Fleming. Call me when the shuttle lands.
