Speech & Debate Page #4

in the words of Stanislavski,

"there are no small parts,

only small actors."

- I got it.

- I knew it.

Yay!

I knew you would.

[girls] Yeah.

[Solomon] Hey.

I was wondering if I could

interview you

about these auditions.

For the school paper?

[Howie] It's time for North

Salem to have a GSA.

My old school had one,

and most schools in Oregon do,

so don't think I'm asking

for some kind of

fringe thing or whatever.

Well, look, I-I'm proud

of you...

uh, that you have spoken

your mind.

Good for you. Your mom has

raised a fine young man.

But we've considered

a GSA in the past,

and the board's

unanimous decision

has always been that

it's more of a social hour

and not a formal club...

that the district should fund.

Well, then, we need to vote again.

I was never part of that.

I was with Howie

when he did the research

on how many schools

actually have it,

- and the overwhelming majority do.

- Mom, Mom, just...

It's very true. Let's at least

have a discussion about it.

No, we'll just put it to a vote.

Well, it's yes from me.

Uh... Nope for me.

Of course, yes.

No.

Uh...

James.

Where are you on the...

On this issue?

I'm a no on the GSA for me.

I agree it's more

of a social hour.

Jesus Christ, James, really?

Okay, noes have it.

Look, Howard, there are

existing clubs

that are lacking

in student interest.

There's... Portuguese Club,

which is hungry for members,

and Recycling Club.

- It's not called "Recycling." - He means

the Environmental Action Committee.

Speech and Debate.

But for the record,

the district

fully supports gays,

lesbians, and...

Latinos?

Okay. Thank you.

[message sent tone playing]

[message received tone playing]

When I was in high school,

I felt like I had

so much to say,

but nobody was listening.

A lot of movie stars

and politicians

got their start

in Speech and Debate,

because on

the debate side of things,

you have all

kinds of competitions

where you have to make

your point of view

clear and convincing,

and on the speech side

of things,

you have acting competitions.

Through dramatic interpretation,

you get the opportunity

to play all the roles

in a scene yourself,

so that means you're

playing Romeo and Juliet.

So just grab a couple friends.

It only takes, like,

three people minimum

to start a team,

and join Speech and Debate.

It's the only club

designed for you to find

and strengthen your voice.

I want to open myself.

I want the light of God.

I want the sweet love of Jesus.

I danced for the Devil.

I saw him.

I went back to Jesus,

and I kissed his hand.

I saw Sarah Good with the Devil.

I saw Goody Osborne

with the Devil.

I saw Bridget Bishop
