-[Mr. Cornwell]
Tragedy and comedy. Two sides of the same dramatic coin and we are going to be exploring both in this play. Even the latecomers.

(He nods to Crybaby as she walks in late.)

Alright, everyone, please turn to your scripts. Look to page two and find the roles to which you've been assigned.
-[Crybaby]
Right, so about that. Um, is it possible to get assigned a different role? Maybe one that's not so domestic? Like a film director? Or the President of the United States!
-[Mr. Cornwell]
A harlot perhaps?

(He and the students laugh.)

-[Boy]
President? What a joke. Your kind are too soft and too sensitive to handle a man's job.
-[Crybaby]
Having a larger capacity to feel and express emotion are one of the many qualities that make us superior to your kind.

["DRAMA CLUB" STARTS PLAYING]

-[Boy]
Ahhhhhh!!!
-[Crybaby]
You're being brainwashed!
-[Mr. Cornwell]
What is this? What is she doing? Go get her. Go on!
-[Crybaby]
Can't you see what's happening? Open your fucking eyes! Get off of me! Get off! Wake up!

[Continuation of "DRAMA CLUB"]
(The students wake up from being controlled/brainwashed by the school system and they go to the principals office and kill the principal)
(Shovel scooping sounds)
(Birds chirping)
(Panting)
(Sigh)

-[Crybaby]
Wanna go play tennis?
-[Angelita]
Ooh, yeah.

-[Celeste]
Finish first draft of ethics essay. A treatise on co-ed education. Boys are the problem.
-[Crybaby]
Celeste, wait up!
-[Celeste]
Oh, hey! Umm... Did you guys find a place to dump the principal?
-[Crybaby]
Yeah, just did it. Done deal.
-[Celeste]
Perfect.
-[Angelita]
Did you guys know there are actually two holes down there?
-[Celeste]
You didn't know you had a butthole?
-[Angelita]
No, I mean in your vagina. There are two separate holes!
-[Crybaby]
Are you sure?
-[Angelita]
Mmhmm.
-[Crybaby]
I think I need to see a doctor.
-[Celeste]
Hey guys....?
-[Angelita]
Yeah, there's your urethra and vagina.
-[Celeste]
You guys?
-[Crybaby]
Oh okay, got it. So, one hole that you can pee out of and the other one that you can—
-[Celeste]
Why does no one listen to me? Guys! The ball is floating away!
-[Crybaby]
Oh shit, the ball! I feel like we're on the wrong way.
-[Angelita]
I swear, I just saw it.
