Detention Page #3
She knows the "Fields of Gold" lyrics.
Every little thing she does is magic.
- Believe it.
- I believe in things I can see.
I believe in violence.
I believe in trees,
mortgages and albinos.
Wet T-shirt.
Patrick Swayze was only
an action star for three years.
Steven Seagal is a lifelong Buddhist
and a deadly master of aikido.
Wrong. Mullet beats ponytails.
Red shirt.
What if that innocent cow
was your son?
Or your daughter?
Now, scientists don't know
whether fish feel pain...
...so some vegetarians
still eat salmon and stuff.
But do you know how much pigs
or, like, veal suffer?
Is the only reason they live
just to be killed?
Meat is murder.
Nice work, Riley.
Now, for the counter-argument,
we turn to Gord.
Gord is our Canadian
exchange student...
...from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia...
...where I hear the salmon
is delicious.
Gord?
Yes, I'd like to start off by saying
that this girl's argument is ridiculous.
Vegetarians who eat fish
are hypocrites.
She thinks because fish may feel
no pain, they don't value their lives.
Absurd. And notice how she expresses
almost no sympathy for chickens.
That's because Americans
hate chickens.
For example,
...to assure the customers
that the chicken was blown to bits...
...yet the meatball sub at Subway
isn't called "popcorn cow."
Americans want chickens to die.
Lame! Personally,
I do feel sympathy for animals...
...which is why I choose
to only eat baby animals.
They have not lived as long
and are not leaving as much behind.
Baby clams, chicken wings,
baby seals, no big loss.
If we don't eat meat,
we lose our place in the food chain.
Eating animals gives us confidence
as humans.
Vegetarians like this girl,
who is only wearing one shoe...
...have less confidence
than everybody else.
Thank you, class. Ms. MacIntyre.
Very well researched, Gord.
And, yes, it's true.
Teenagers need self-confidence.
Clamato:
the only animal-mammalbeverage at the grocery store.
Which is too bad, because I could
really go for some carbonated dolphin.
Why must you interrupt
my solitude...
...in the worst day of the worst life
in Grizzly Lake history?
- You're not the girl who f***ed a bear.
- That was 20 years ago.
And she was a pervert.
I'm a mascot.
It's one rank lower
on the social ladder.
It's true.
I've been thinking about stuff.
Nudity, mostly.
You know, we don't talk much...
...but I like to believe we've been
sort of friends for a while.
Arguable, but not outlandish.
Okay, this human-conversation thing
is not working for you. Let's text.
You better not sext me.
Not interested in the rules.
Yeah, I figured.
