Fade In. Physics classroom.

The phone rings.

MRS. PHYSICS TEACHER: That’s probably some kids telling me that they have to work on their senior page. [Walks over to phone and picks it up.] Yes. Yes. No, I didn’t guess who it was, but I guessed that it would be kids asking to do their senior page. Yes. Yes. Okay, then, you need to do all your homework and review your physics over the break. Byeee. [Hangs up phone.] It’s my trademark to be nice, so I always try to be nice to people. I find that one way to do things it to always be nice. So they don’t have to come to class. They’re going to work on their senior page.

STUDENT ONE: You’re too nice, Mrs. Physics Teacher.

STUDENT TWO: Uh…. well, uh, can I go work on my senior page?

Students laugh.

MRS. PHYSICS TEACHER: Uhhh, well, yes…. just make sure you do the homework.

STUDENT TWO packs up bag and walks out of the room.

STUDENT THREE: Aww, heck, why not just let us all leave?

The phone rings again. MRS. PHYSICS TEACHER walks over and picks it up again.

MRS. PHYSICS TEACHER: Hello? Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Byeee. [Hangs up phone.] Um, STUDENT FOUR, you’re wanted downstairs to do something.

STUDENT FOUR walks out of the room.

STUDENT THREE: Uh, yeah, can I go, too? She’s just going down to help decorate this girl’s locker for her birthday. And I want to help, too.

MRS. PHYSICS TEACHER: Uhhh, well…. I guess….. You need to do all of your homework.

STUDENT THREE: Don’t worry. [Hold up review book as evidence that she does her homework.]

STUDENT THREE walks out of classroom.

Fade out.
