Akeelah And The Bee Page #7
with medievaI minds
The sober overdose,
poems roam Iike freight trains...
DyIan?
I'm AkeeIah.
Javier said I can come
and join the study group today.
My father coaches me privateIy.
Who's your coach?
- I don't got one.
- How many speIIing bees have you won?
Just the one at my schooI.
SpeII "xanthosis."
- Z-A-
- It starts with an X.
If that idiot hadn't
been caught cheating
you wouIdn't have made the cut.
- "Euphoric."
- Euphoric is an adjective.
Origin Greek.
It means Iike
feeIing great and everything.
Either speII the word
or take a shot.
If you miss either one you get a strike.
Three strikes, you're out.
Euphoric, E-U-
P- H-O-R-I-C...
euphoric.
"Psoriasis."
Are you taking Latin at your schooI?
Psoriasis is a noun, origin Greek.
Are you kidding? My schooI bareIy has
enough money for kickbaIIs.
- There's no Latin cIasses.
- Latin heIps you understand words.
Psoriasis is Iike itchy skin.
Maybe your mom couId drive you
up here to take it with us.
I don't know. This is aII
starting to sound reaI heavy.
It is heavy.
SpeIIing bees are serious sh*t.
I think I'II take a shot.
On second thought,
couId I speII the word?
At Crenshaw they think I'm a freak.
Don't worry.
They think we're freaks here too.
Hey, there's my mom.
Need a ride?
Oh... naw.
My mom's gonna pick me up.
She shouId be here soon.
Hey, I'm having a birthday party
in a few weeks.
You want to come?
Maybe. If I can.
It was cooI seeing you
again, AkeeIah. Bye.
Bye.
Where the heII have you been?
- Studying.
- Studying where?
- WoodIand HiIIs.
- WoodIand HiIIs?
What you doing there?
They got a speIIing cIub.
Did Mr. WeIch take you?
'Cause ain't nobody caII me.
I went by myseIf. I didn't think
the bus ride wouId take so Iong.
- I'm sorry.
- AkeeIah Anderson!
You done Iost your mind?
You 11 years oId.
You don't be taking a bus
to WoodIand HiIIs by yourseIf.
- There's nobody around to take me.
- That's 'cause I work.
That's what you said
on the weekend.
AII the other kids have
their parents at the district bee.
Maybe the other kids have parents
who got more time on their hands.
Look, I'm not having another chiId
of mine disappearing at aII hours.
So if this speIIing thing means sneaking
off to the suburbs by yourseIf,
- I'm caIIing it aII off.
- We can't caII it off!
- I'm going to the regionaI bee.
- Not if you fIunk out of schooI.
I just got a Ietter saying you gotta
- for aII these cIasses you skipped.
- But, Mama, I hate Crenshaw!
It is so boring there
and nobody cares.
But you think they care about you
in WoodIand HiIIs?
