Mr. Laritate
(after Alex gives a speech on what she realized about the structure of the Helpers Club) That was a wonderful speech... (gets excited) Worthy of a ribbon!
(Happy Helpers cheer)
(frustrated) No! I dont want a ribbon!
Mr. Laritate
It's either the ribbon or suspension.
(takes the ribbon) Oh, its a lovely ribbon.
SStevie
Hello prisoners. (picks up a guy's hat, drops it, and points at Mr. Laritate) Warden.
Mr. Laritate
(smiles meekly)
SStevie
(takes another guy's device) Sorry I'm late. I had a phone call (looks at Eddie) with your mom. She said, "Get out of my chair!"
EEddie
(goes to different chair)
SStevie
(sits down comfortably)
(turns to Stevie) Who are you?
SStevie
I'm Stevie. Last name...I don't want to know yours so why do you want to know mine?
Mr. Laritate
She makes you look like him. (motions to Justin)
Mr. Laritate
All right, I'll be back to let you out of the cage at three. If you need anything, you should have thought of that before you acted up. (leaves and closes the door)
(gets up) Hey Stevie, why don't you tell me a bedtime story about how you ended up in detention so fast? (takes a pillow hidden from inside a globe)
SStevie
Got caught for some stuff at my old school, so they're making me make up detention here. But it's cool. It's the quickest way to meet my people.
(gets a sound machine from behind a plaque on the wall) You're people? Oh, you mean people like me! Thank you! That's so sweet! (makes a hammock) Now, if you'll excuse me. I need a couple of more hours shut eye under a gentle rain. (turns the sound machine on and the machine plays sounds of rain)
EEddie
Yeah you gotta turn that down. It makes me want to go numero uno.
EEddie
Yeah that's right, I speak French.
SStevie
(turns the sound machine volume higher) Well, Oui, Oui.
(laughs and does a handshake with Stevie)
Oh, I'm going to deliver a speech alright, El Heffe, that's gonna rock the flimsy foundation of this school!
Mr. Laritate
[nervously] Who told you about our flimsy foundation? Look, you can either have our music department or structural safety, but you can't have both!
