Jane/Eleven, Jake and others in “Unfinished Business”

Hi. [Her classmates look bored] For my hero I... I chose my dad. [Angela and her friends make a face] And for my visual aid, I made a diraoma of our cabin.

More like diarrhea. [Everyone laughs]

Quiet, everyone. Let's be respectful. [The classroom quiets down]

[Picks up a figure from her diorama] This is my dad. His name is Hopper. He made the best eggos, and we liked to watch Miami Vice on Fridays. [Meanwhile, as Will watches the presentation, the girl next to them touches his foot with her own, looking at him flirtatiously. He moves his foot away]

[Holds up another figure] This is Mr. Fibley. He is a squirrel. [Her classmates laugh again. Will nods at her encouragingly] And this is the alarm that my dad made. [Angela raises her hand] Uh, I was never scared because... beca- because... [Glances at her teacher]

Uh, Angela, let's save questions until the end of Jane's presentation.

Yeah, sorry, I'm just like, confused. I thought this was a presentation about a historical hero.

My dad was in the newspaper.

Your local paper? [Laughs mockingly, the other classmates doing the same] I just don't think that's what Mrs. Gracie meant by historical. This is supposed to be about famous people.

My dad is famous. He saved lots of lives, in a mall fire. He was a hero for people. And he was my hero too! [Her classmates give each other looks]

That's not what I'm saying at all. But, it's okay. [Sarcastically] I am so sorry, Mrs. Gracie. I didn't mean to interrupt. I just wanted clarity on the rules of the assignment.

Well, technically, you are correct. [Angela smirks, and Jane/Eleven begins to tear up, lip trembling] But Jane has decided to do her father. So, please, continue with your presentation, Jane. [A tear falls down Jane/Eleven's cheek, and she takes a few deep breaths]
