DR. MITCHELL

You’re getting a college education.

For free, I might add. End of

story.

BECA:

Great. So instead of getting real

world experience in what I actually

want to do with my life, I’ll spend

four years studying on the grass.

There’s an awkward beat of silence.

KIMMY JIN:

I’m going to the Activities Fair.

She speaks. Beca is surprised but seizes the opportunity.

BECA:

Well then so am I. I’m going to go

with my super-good friend, Kimmy

Jin.

Beca grabs her bag and they exit, leaving Dr. Mitchell.

16 EXT. ACTIVITIES FAIR - BARDEN QUAD - LITTLE LATER 16

A series of recruiting booths are set up throughout the quad.

Anything and everything is represented: One booth reads, “FWord:

A Collection of Feminist Voices,” another says, “Barden

Newspaper,” another reads “Dudes With Ponytails. Est. 1988.”

Beca, headphones around her neck, and Kimmy Jin are at the

booth:
“RIAC: Running in a Circle.” Two REPRESENTATIVES give

Beca the hard sell.

RIAC REPRESENTATIVE #1

Basically what we do is we join

arms in a large ring and we run

clockwise and sometimes we’ll do

variations on that.

RIAC REPRESENTATIVE #2

It’s really about movement and,

health, circulation, mimicking the

earth’s orbit around the sun.

BECA:

So you run around in a circle?

RIAC REPRESENTATIVE #1

And so can you.

He holds out a pen for Beca to sign up.

BECA:

Yeah. I’m gonna look around --

RIAC REPRESENTATIVE #2

-- Around!

RIAC REPRESENTATIVE #1

You would do so well here.

Kimmy Jin spots the “Korean Students Association” booth and

makes a beeline for it. The KOREAN STUDENTS welcome her with

open arms. Beca, now alone, puts her headphones on.

17 EXT. ACTIVITIES FAIR - BARDEN QUAD 17

ACROSS THE FAIR:
Jesse and Benji stride through, stopping at

the gratuitously rowdy Sigma Beta Theta FRAT booth. Goodlooking,

bare-chested, beefy GUYS party and chant.

FRAT GUYS:

“Drinking beer, smoking dope,

sucking on a tit!

(CONTINUED)

If you ain’t pledging SBT, then you

ain’t worth no sh*t!”

BENJI:

That’s a double negative.

JESSE:

That’s a lot of negatives.

BENJI:

Follow me. There’s only one group

on this campus worth joining.

NEEDLE DROP:
A HEAVY GUITAR LICK kicks in as the camera FLIES

over the fair, table after table, finally landing on...

THE Barden Treblemakers: A motley crew of eight confident

nerds sitting under a tree: DONALD, a cool dude with black

glasses, UNICYCLE, a guy always astride a unicycle, a few
