[to those onstage] Joe Clark: ... you are all expurgated. You are dismissed! You are out of here, forever. I wish you well! Mr. Wright... [after Security Dean William Wright and Eastside's new guards eject all the "problem" kids from school, Clark's audience in the decaying auditorium grows silent] Joe Clark: Next time, it may be you. If you do no better than they did, next time it WILL be you. They said this school was dead, like the cemetery it's built on. But we call our Eastside teams "Ghosts", don't we? And what are ghosts? Ghosts are spirits that rise from the dead. I want you to be my ghosts. You are going to lead our resurrection, by defying the expectation that all of us are doomed to failure. My motto is simple: If you do not succeed in life, I don't want you to blame your parents. I don't want you to blame the White Man. I want you to blame yourselves. The responsibility is yours! In two weeks we have a practice exam, and on April 13th we have the Minimum Basic Skills Test itself. That's 110 school days from now. But it's not just about those test scores. If you do not have these basic skills, you will find yourselves locked out. Locked out of that American Dream that you see advertised on TV, and that they tell you is so easy to get. You are here for one reason. One reason only: To learn. To work for what you believe in. The alternative is to waste your time, to fall into the trap of crime and drugs and death. Does everybody understand that? Do all of you understand me? Then welcome to the new Eastside High. (Ace Goodman) Mr. Rosenberg: He's got a point, sir. Mayor Don Bottman: Rosenberg, this doesn't concern you. (Ace Goodman) | |

Leonna Barrett: Clark! Mayor Don Bottman: Just like that, huh? Head on a platter. Leonna Barrett: You think I got an attitude. Well, let me tell you what I think. I know why you like Clark. He's a guard dog. Does your dirty work. Keeps the black folk in line - that's fine. But you've got to get re-elected. I've got enough folks lined up with me to give you a DAMN hard time, and I will get more. I will organize. I will beat the streets. Mayor Don Bottman: Unless I do what? Leonna Barrett: Appoint me to the school board so we can vote Clark out. Otherwise, we'll just have to vote you out. Mayor Don Bottman: Vote me out? You know, it's always good to see citizens avail themselves of the democratic process. Leonna Barrett: My job's gonna be easy. You're not too popular these days, are ya? (Ace Goodman) Dr. Frank Napier: Well, so what? You want the truth? Joe Clark: Yeah, Frank. Let's have some truth. Dr. Frank Napier: The truth is that for all your talking, all your 'Crazy Joe' routine, what have you ever done? Nothing. You're nothing but an insignificant man. It's like you were never born. Your life hasn't made one bit of difference, and neither has mine. Wanna take that to the grave? (Ace Goodman) Joe Clark: I said, "No one move, during the singing of the school song", If you can't understand that, find yourself another place to work. Mr. Darnell: I was picking up, a piece of paper. Joe Clark: You're the one who contradicting me, in front of my students. Mr. Darnell: They're my students, too. Joe Clark: THEY ARE MY STUDENTS, MR. DARNELL! Mr. Darnell: Just what are you tryin' to prove? I'm workin my ass off of you, too the demotion and I'm doin' my job! You just getting your rocks off, for treating me like trash! Joe Clark: No sir, that's what you're picking up. Mr. Darnell: [slamming the folders onto Clark's desk] God Damn it! YOU GIVE ME, THE GODDDAMN RESPECT, AND DAMN WELL OF YOURSELF,OR I WILL KICK YOUR BLACK ASS! Joe Clark: You are suspended sir, as of RIGHT NOW! GET OUT! Mr. Darnell: AHHH! [dumps Clark's desk on it's side] (Ace Goodman) Francesca: Ooh, your office! Clarence: [puts his hand in his gym shorts] Whoa, THAT ain't the key! (Ace Goodman) Mayor Don Bottman: How many? Mr. Rosenberg: It looks like... all of them. (Ace Goodman) Ms. Levias: What's the charge? What's this all about? Leonna Barrett: It's about someone finally stood up to this man, instead of taking his orders like a maid. Ms. Levias: How dare you speak about people like that? Who do you think you are? Joe Clark: Mrs. Barrett, if you think you can... Leonna Barrett: Shut up! You're finished! [holds up the tape recorder] Leonna Barrett: The school board's going to hear this at 7:00, and we are going to vote your black ass out! Thomas Sams: Yo, witch! Vote on THIS! [gestures angrily] Joe Clark: That won't help me, Sams. (Ace Goodman) Maria: Look at me, I'm short! Can I play basketball? NO! The point is, you're ignoring us, and we're getting really ticked off! Joe Clark: You know, with a mouth like yours, YOU oughta study LAW! Maria: Really? Joe Clark: REALLY! Maria: He chained those doors to keep the drug dealers, to make us all feel safe! Maria: Now, you talk about the law, but you're twisting the law! The laws are made to protect the people, and that's what he's doing for us! (Ace Goodman) | |
