Patty: My husband and I read the stuff that the kids wrote --
Mr. Racine: Hope it didn't give him a heart attack. He seemed a bit fragile.
Patty: Actually, it isn't my husband who had the problem.
[Mr. Racine smiles]
Patty: I just think...there's this one piece in particular that I just don't feel comfortable printing.
Mr. Racine: Oh! You're afraid that Angela wrote it.
Patty: This has nothing to do with whether Angela wrote it.
Mr. Racine: So, this is just censorship for censorship's sake?
Patty: What?
Mr. Racine: Hand them over. I'll type them myself, and I'll have them Xeroxed.
Patty: These are children! We are adults! This is not censorship! This is guiding adolescents who need...guidance!
Mr. Racine: That is a very reasonable opinion, and very clearly stated. Unfortunately, it's total manure.
Patty: Excuse me?
Mr. Racine: It's horse manure. I sense you're angry. Are you angry?
Patty: Yes!
Mr. Racine: Yes! I sensed that! [laughs]
Patty: Why is it manure?
Mr. Racine: Good question. It is manure because this journal should be about giving these students a voice, not about having their thoughts edited. If these kids aren't afraid to put their hearts on the page, why should we be afraid of them?
Patty: You should really teach full-time.
Mr. Racine: We have a difference of opinion. Fine. But do you think you should be in the position of deciding because you run a printing press and I don't?
Patty: Do you expect me to answer that question?
Mr. Racine: Yes.
Patty: [pause] No, I don't.
[He hands the papers back to her and starts to leave]
Patty: So. Did Angela write it?
[He smirks and walks out]
