Speak

[voiceover] It's my first day of high school. I have seven new notebooks, a skirt I hate, and a stomach ache.

[voiceover] My English teacher has no face. I call her Hairwoman.

[voiceover] Gym should be illegal. It's humiliating.

[voiceover] It's time for a mental health day. So conjugate this: I cut class. You cut class. He/she/it cuts class.

[voiceover] It's impossible to listen to Ms. Kane. Her voice sounds like an engine that won't turn over. Plus she laughs at her own jokes.

[voiceover] I hate winter. I've lived in the midwest my whole life and I hate winter. It starts too early and it ends too late. Why doesn't everyone just move to Florida?

[voiceover] Heather has found a clan. The Marthas. Very Connecticut. Very prep. I suspect money changed hands.

Hi everybody! Welcome to Art. The only class that will teach you how to survive. This is where you can find your soul, if you dare. Don't ask me to show you how to draw a face. Ask me to help you find the wind.

I think you should know what you stand for, not just what you're against. You should be able to show how things can be better.

Mr. Neck: There is no kissing in the hallway!
