...and all of you for this opportunity...
...to impart my message of unity.
And now, the last of our
Capeside High murals.
l'd like to ask Joey Potter
to step up...
...and grace us with a few words
about her creation.
Well, Principal Green
said the mural should focus...
...on what unifies us as a school.
Even our mascot is divisive.
The Minuteman?
Right there, you've alienated
half the student population.
So the only thing
...that unites us all,
that we all have in common...
...is that we all start off
in kindergarten thinking...
...that we can be anything
that we wanna be...
...and by the time we get here,
we've somehow lost that feeling.
We've all started to believe
whatever our parents...
...or our friends have told us we can
achieve and who we can be in life...
...and we've forgotten that possibility
we had when we were younger.
And that's what l think
we all have in common...
...and that's what the symbol
on my painting means.
Possibility.
l painted it because l thought we
could all use a daily reminder that...
...if you believe in yourself, even when
the odds seem stacked against you...
...anything's possible.
So l hope you like it.
Okay?
Excuse me.
Wait a minute. Joey.
Hey, wait up. You okay?
That's what l get for answering the call
to public service. Humiliation.
Nobody's humiliated, except
for the person who did this.
lt felt humiliating to me.
-Look, it was a silly prank.
-You don't know that.
You put your soul into that.
l don't blame you for being angry...
...but don't turn this into some sort of
personal attack on you.
Not to stick my nose in here,
but just to stick my nose in...
-...it was a personal attack.
-What?
There were three murals. Yours was
the only one that got touched.
-So?
-So someone didn't like...
...what Joey was trying to say
or someone just didn't like you.
Your logic leaves a lot to be desired.
We're in high school.
lt's a society unto its own...
...with a pecking order that makes
the caste system look forgiving.
Who knows what line you crossed
or offence you might have given?
-Paranoid much?
-There's a possibility...
...somebody out there hates
Joey just for being Joey.
The way she talks, dresses,
chews on her lower lip.
Look, l don't chew on my lower lip!
Okay, look, l'm just putting it out there.
Does anybody come to mind?
So we can gang up on him
and call him names?
Do me a favour, just stay out of this.
lt was an act of vandalism. Some idiot
trying to rage against the machine.
-That doesn't make sense.
-Heckle and Jeckle.
