Last Nationals.Fdx GLEE "LAST NATIONALS" Written by Kyle Burbank [email protected] (480) 510-2629 1 INT. BREADSTIX -- NIGHT 1 ARTIE, TINA, BLAINE and SAM sit in a booth at BREADSTIX. A BANNER saying “CONGRATULATIONS” hangs from the table. They have PUNCH GLASSES raised as Blaine is about to give a toast. BLAINE To the reigning champion New Directions! They cheers, and drink. TINA We couldn’t have done it without you, Blaine. BLAINE Well, thanks, Tina. But we’re a team and we came together to make it happen! SAM (trying to play along) Yeah, and this punch is as sweet as the victory we have achieved. ARTIE Yeahhh, Blaine, I hate to be the one to ask, but why are we having a victory party before we’ve even competed? BLAINE Guys! It’s called “envisioning”. If you have a positive attitude and envision yourself winning, then you will. (then) Besides, I thought it would be nice for us seniors to get together and enjoy our time together before we graduate. SAM What -- aren’t we all just going to New York? TINA I’m not going to New York... It’s slightly awkward, but it gets even more awkward because as Tina finishes her sentence, SUE appears at the end of their table. (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 2. 1 CONTINUED: 1 SUE Well, well, well -- if it isn’t the Old Directions -- presumably celebrating the creation of yet another ridiculously random organization. I’m guessing this one is the “Teens Who Don’t Read ‘Yelp’ Reviews Club”. BLAINE Actually, we’re celebrating our impeding Nationals win. SUE Oh, poor, naive Mrs. Porcelain-to- be -- thinking you can hope and dream your way to a championship. I hate to break it to you, but you’re never going to save your teacher’s job with positive thoughts. ARTIE Wait -- what are you talking about? SUE Why am I not surprised that your borderline pedophilic leader forgot to mention that his employment depends on your winning? TINA Principal Sylvester, you can’t do this! BLAINE Yeah, doesn’t he have tenure or something? SUE No, that inexplicably went to his pamphlet-peddling, germaphobic ginger wife -- who, in turn, departed on some sort of extended sabbatical and didn’t think anyone would notice. The kids look at each other as if to say “yeah, where is she?”. SAM So if we don’t win Nationals, you’re firing Mr. Schue? (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 3. 1 CONTINUED: (2) 1 SUE (amazed at his stupidity) Really? I thought I was pretty clear on this... YES! Done! Cut! Just like your hair should have been eons ago. Terror sets in on the faces of the seniors as Sue starts to walk away. SUE (CONT’D) Oh! Good luck. The kids look at each other in disbelief and fear. GLEE CARD 2 INT. MCKINLEY HIGH HALLWAY -- DAY 2 Marley is walking down the hallway, tightly hugging her BINDER, as she ponders the rapidly approaching competition. MARLEY (V.O.) Nationals -- It’s what we’ve dreamed about all year, and now it’s come. Everyone keeps talking about how it’s the last Nationals for the seniors, but I keep thinking -- what if it’s the last Nationals for all of us? I mean, I already ruined one Sectionals; what if we blow it again? -- Finn and I fought to keep this club together after that, and there’s no way I can do that again without him. And when Blaine is gone, I feel like I’m going to be looked at as the leader -- the “New-New Rachel” -- As excited as I am for this, I can’t help but wonder -- what’s going to happen next year? 3 INT. CHOIR ROOM -- CONTINUOUS 3 Marley is the last student into the choir room. A few seconds after she takes her seat, WILL enters from his office with an ENVELOPE in his hand. (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 4. 3 CONTINUED: 3 WILL Alright, guys, are you ready to hear the theme for the 2013 National Show Choir Competition, in Los Angeles, California?! The New Directions looks like an Oprah audience right before she announces the gifts they’re getting. They all cheer. WILL (CONT’D) And the theme is... “Past, Present and Future”. The kids are still excited, but also seem slightly confused. SAM (raising his hand) Is that the same as “33% vintage”? UNIQUE Ugh... Those spinning pinball machines got me so dizzy I thought I was gonna turn the first three rows into a splash zone. KITTY How are we supposed to sing songs from the future? Marley looks like she’s about to interrupt, but Kitty turns around to look at her. KITTY (CONT’D) (to Marley) And before you suggest writing one, let me just say that I am not going to sit through another one of your sappy desk drawer ballads. JAKE Doesn’t every song fall under the banner of “past, present and future”? ARTIE It sounds like we’re going to be visited by the ghost of Jacob Marley. He pauses, realizing what he’s said and looks back at Jake and Marley. (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 5. 3 CONTINUED: (2) 3 ARTIE (CONT’D) How did we not realize that before?! MARLEY (moving on) I was thinking more along the lines of songs remembering important moments in someone’s life. BLAINE Yeah, or like being nostalgic for the past, but looking forward to the future. TINA Exactly! ARTIE Wait, don’t we still need twleve members to compete? A silence falls over the kids, as look around, counting their members. SAM I count nine, unless Unique can do double duty as a dude and chick. Unique rolls her eyes. KITTY Whoa -- why have we waited til now to get working on this? RYDER What are we gonna do?! Just then, SUGAR enters the choir room with a stack of POSTCARDS. SUGAR Hey guys! Sorry I’m late. (to Will) Hey, Mr. Schue. She hands him a postcard and starts passing them out to the rest of the New Directions. Unique runs up and gives her a big hug. UNIQUE Oh, honey -- where have you been?! (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 6. 3 CONTINUED: (3) 3 SUGAR After we won Regionals, my daddy wanted to take me on a celebratory vacation around the world. Each postcard has Sugar in a different city/country. Artie gets one of her in PARIS. Sam gets DUBAI. Marley gets one of her in KENYA, where she is giving $100 bills to orphan kids. SUGAR (CONT’D) But one place we didn’t go was L.A., baby! The kids all cheer. WILL Well, we’re very glad to have you back, Sugar. So now we just need 2 more students to compete, and we need to start planning out our set list. (then) We’ve got this guys! SAM Yeah, we better have it, otherwise someone’s getting fired... The other seniors give him a “what the hell, dude” look. The underclassmen don’t know what’s going on. Sam realizes he shouldn’t have said that. WILL Who told you guys that? TINA We ran into Principal Sylvester at Breadstix. Why didn’t you tell us? WILL Because I have faith in you guys and I know we’re gonna nail it. So just forget about whatever Sue says. He starts walking for the door. WILL (CONT’D) And start brainstorming ideas for songs and members. (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 7. 3 CONTINUED: (4) 3 MARLEY Where are you going? WILL I’ll be right back. Will walks out and down the hall towards Sue’s office. 4 INT. FIGGINS OFFICE -- CONTINUOUS 4 Will storms into Sue’s office, where she is SKETCHING plans for her a remodeled office. SUE Ahhh, William -- I’m glad you’re here. I got you -- (reaching) This present. Sue hands him a WHITE BOARD with a GIFT BOW in the top corner and a TAG reading “TO: BUTT CHIN FROM: SUE”. SUE (CONT’D) This way you can theme the pathetic weeks of your soon to be unemployed life to whatever god-awful artist you’ve drudged up out of your Goodwill curated record collection in attempt to make them relevant to something. WILL Sue, why did you tell my students that I’m getting fired? SUE Oh, well, I had assumed you would have broken that news to them. Or did you think I would forget what I threatened just because a few months had passed? WILL I didn’t tell them, because they don’t need that on their minds while they’re trying to focus on winning. (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 8. 4 CONTINUED: 4 SUE Oh, please -- You don’t think that football players on powerhouse teams don’t know that their coach is going to get crap-canned if they lose?! WILL That’s entirely different, Sue. My students don’t -- SUE -- Need a “teacher” who joins them in singing songs about date rape? I completely agree, William -- it’s a good thing you’re leaving. WILL They’re going to win, Sue -- Just you watch. Will walks out. Just before he exits the second door, Sue yells out to him. SUE You’re welcome! 5 INT. LIBRARY -- DAY 5 Ryder is on of the computers, googling “SHOW CHOIR COMPETITION”. Then, we see Unique peer around one of the bookshelves. She timidly walks over. UNIQUE Hey. What are you doing here? Chatting, again? RYDER Ha. No. I’m looking up tips for competing. I don’t know why I’m so nervous -- I’ve done this twice before now, but -- UNIQUE But Nationals is a-whole-nother animal.

  • New Directions: Olivier, Branagh, and Shakespeare's "Henry V"
    New Directions: Olivier, Branagh, and Shakespeare’s Henry V A Senior Honors Thesis By Michael Descy Under the Guidance of Professor William Flesch For The Department of English Brandeis University Spring 2000 -1- Shakespeare Versus Film Shakespeare’s ongoing popularity, durability, and quality make his plays popular source material for movies. Countless films, from Kurosawa’s Ran to the recent teen comedy 10 Things I Hate About You, are adaptations of Shakespeare plays. For the most part, though, these films tend to be as far away from Shakespeare as Shakespeare was from his source material—they are not Shakespeare films as academics define them. True Shakespeare films are adaptations that strive to retain as much of the language and carry the same intent of the original plays. Inevitably, they must also carry the vision of their directors, and the source material must be altered, sometimes drastically, to suit the screen. Putting Shakespeare on film is not easy. As adaptations go, they face a unique set of problems that are compounded by both the audience’s familiarity with the plays, which raises expectations for the movie, and with the audience’s unfamiliarity with Shakespeare’s Elizabethan language in film settings. The plays themselves also run far longer than the traditional movie length of two hours, which puts added strain on a typical movie audience. The language is far more dense, voluminous, and descriptive than normal movie dialogue, which makes the words seem redundant and the movie overly “talky.” Finally, the texts themselves are so entrenched in our culture that they approach sacred works, which renders the necessary cutting and continuity editing sacrilege.

  • Glam Rock and Funk Alter-Egos, Fantasy, and the Performativity of Identities
    REVISTA DE LENGUAS MODERNAS, N.° 26, 2017 / 387-401 / ISSN: 1659-1933 Glam Rock and Funk Alter-Egos, Fantasy, and the Performativity of Identities MONICA BRADLEY Escuela de Lenguas Modernas Universidad de Costa Rica The emergence of desire, and hence our biological response, is thus bound up in our ability to fantasize, to inhabit an imagined scenario that, in turn, ‘produces what we understand as sexuality’ (Whitely 251). Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality” (Queen, “Bohemian Rhapsody”). Abstract The following article explores different conceptions of fantasy and science fiction that characterized many popular music performances in the 1970’s predominantly in the genres of glam rock and funk. By focusing on a few artists that were at the peak of their music careers at this time, such as David Bowie, P-Funk, Queen, Labelle and others, it attempts to un-earth some historical conditions for women, queers, and people of color and reveal how these artists have attempted to escape and transform certain realities by transgressing the boundaries of real/fiction, masculinity/ femininity, race, sexuality, and the “alien”. Key words: Glam rock, Funk, music, science fiction, queer, gender, race Resumen El siguiente artículo explora las diferentes concepciones de fantasía y ciencia ficción que caracterizan muchas formas de actuación en la música popular de los años setentas, predominantemente en los géneros de glam rock y funk. Pondré especial atención en algunos artistas que estuvieron en el ápice de su carrera musical en este tiempo como David Bowie, Recepción: 29-03-16 Aceptación: 12-12-16 388 REVISTA DE LENGUAS MODERNAS, N.° 26, 2017 / 387-401 / ISSN: 1659-1933 P-Funk, Queen, Labelle, y otros quienes intentaron traer a la realidad temas sobre condiciones históricas en mujeres, queers y personas de color .

  • 2018-2019 Annual Report 1 Message from the Superintendent
    2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Vestavia Hills City Schools has completed another exciting chapter in its rich tradition. The aspiration for high performance has been evident from the birth of our school system in 1970 and continues today. While revising the goals in our new strategic plan this spring, we reflected on the defining moments of our system that were integral to its success. A look back at the history of our school system is to see one that grew through many changes and maintained its stellar reputation. Today, Vestavia Hills traverses from the Sybil Temple, through Cahaba Heights, and to the farthest reaches of Liberty Park. As unique as each part of our city is, there is something special that unites all of us. For the past year, our central office leadership team has been studying organizations that are perpetually high performers in their respective fields. Each has its own distinct strategy based on what their customers want. All of them, however, share the common ingredient of having a vibrant and healthy culture. Employees love to be a part of this type of organization, and their customers know it. The effective confluence of strategy and culture is the recipe for long-term success in any organization. Management guru Peter Drucker distinguished between the two, however, when he said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” He recognized that both were essential to success, but the results of a good strategy are short-lived if the culture is unhealthy. After having spent a full year as superintendent in this wonderful system, it is obvious to me that the binding agent in our community is the culture of excellence in each of our schools.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by British Columbia's network of post-secondary digital repositories BLOCKING THE SCHOOL PLAY: US, JAPANESE, AND UK TELEVISUAL HIGH SCHOOLS, SPATIALITY, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TEEN IDENTITY by Jennifer Bomford B.A., University of Northern British Columbia, 1999 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2016 © Jennifer Bomford, 2016 ABSTRACT School spaces differ regionally and internationally, and this difference can be seen in television programmes featuring high schools. As television must always create its spaces and places on the screen, what, then, is the significance of the varying emphases as well as the commonalities constructed in televisual high school settings in UK, US, and Japanese television shows? This master’s thesis considers how fictional televisual high schools both contest and construct national identity. In order to do this, it posits the existence of the televisual school story, a descendant of the literary school story. It then compares the formal and narrative ways in which Glee (2009-2015), Hex (2004-2005), and Ouran koukou hosutobu (2006) deploy space and place to create identity on the screen. In particular, it examines how heteronormativity and gender roles affect the abilities of characters to move through spaces, across boundaries, and gain secure places of their own. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgement v Introduction Orientation 1 Space and Place in Schools 5 Schools on TV 11 Schools on TV from Japan, 12 the U.S., and the U.K.
