-[Ms. Daphne]

I would have thought that young ladies like you would know better.

-[Kelly]

Quit it! My mom spent good money getting these ears done

-[Ms. Daphne]

You have really blown it this time. Sit down. I mean it.

-[Crybaby VO]

I shouldn't have lost control like that. She’s not a bad person, she’s just projecting her insecurities onto me.

-[Kelly VO]

She didn’t even leave a mark on me. I broke skin.

(Clock ticks as the scene moves to the Principal's office, where the Principal is seen talking to a staff member.)

-[Principal]

You said you dress as a woman now?

-[Ms. Harper]

Yes, I’m transitioning. Look—

-[Principal]

Transitioning? No, no. I can’t permit you to influence the children with this ridiculous behaviour. And so what from now on you want us to address you as—

-[Ms. Harper]

Ms. Harper. Correct. The kids really connect with me. I love my job and I’d really like to stay, but I need to be my most authentic self. I am a woman.

-[Ms. Daphne]

A woman? You hear this?

-[Principal]

Mr. Harper, you’re fired.

- [Kid eating glue]

Mmmm...

(Crybaby looks around the room, and spots another kid popping pills.)

-[Crybaby]

What are those?

-[Thomas]

He forces us to take these pills. Each colour is a different dosage. I’m on pink. It’s the lightest dose.

-[Crybaby]

Why is he forcing medication on everyone?

-[Thomas]

To control us. So we can’t leave.

-[Kelly, to Kid eating glue]

That’s f***ing disgusting!

(The clock ticks. Crybaby sighs, and then makes a phone appear and dials the Principal's office's number. The phone rings.)

[“THE PRINCIPAL”]

-[Ms. Daphne]

(Crying) Idiots! Save him!

(The scene shifts to a fourth grade class. Crybaby walks in late from the principal's office and closes the door. All eyes are on her, and she sits down. The teacher shows that it is show and tell day, and then opens a compartment to reveal a doll on strings. The students bang on their desks.)

[“SHOW AND TELL”]

(The students clap and cheer, then circle around the doll. Then the doll breaks, spilling its "guts" everywhere.)

-[Students]

Ew! Gross!

(Vacuum running)

(Cough)

(Wind)

(Sneeze)

[“NURSE’S OFFICE”]

-[Crybaby and Angelita]

Wait!

-[Angelita]

Why are you leaving us here?

-[Crybaby]

We need to come with you!

-[Lilith]

Continue on and live your truth. Do not hold fear in your heart.

-[Crybaby]

Please. We don’t want to die here.

-[Lilith]

You’ve had many bodies before this and you’ll continue to have more. You’re immortal.

-[Angelita]

But we’re exhausted!

-[Crybaby]

We don’t wanna feel this anymore!

-[Lilith]

We must feel the physical pain of this world because the only way that we can truly learn is through experience.

-[Crybaby]

Please!
