EASY A: Group 4 Script CLIP A: Time 1:02-1:49 (47 secs) OLIVE: The rumors of my promiscuity have been greatly exaggerated. I used to be anonymous. Invisible to the opposite sex. If Google Earth were a guy, he couldn’t find me if I was dressed up as a 10-storey building. Pretty cutting edge stuff huh. A highschool girl feeling anonymous. Who am I? What does it all mean? Why am I here? What? But don’t worry. This isn’t one of those tales. Though it sure started out that way. And then it changed pretty quickly when I started lying about some very personal things. So, let the record show that I Olive Penderghast being of sound and below average breast size swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Starting now. [Olive gets pushed and falls on the floor with her books.] END SCENE *Dindi shows herself in the room with webcam.* DINDI: And what better way to share my private thoughts than to broadcast them on the internet. So here it is. Part 1: The Shudder Inducing and Cliched, However Totally False Account of How I Lost My Virginity To A Guy At A Community College. Let me just begin by saying that there are two sides to every story. And this is my side. The right one. Here is where the trouble began. The lie that started the whole thing. END SCENE CLIP B: Time 3:19-3:36 (17 secs) RHI: Please please. I’m begging you. I will pay you. OLIVE: Huh. Rhi. I cannot go camping with you okay. I’m sorry but I have a date. Okay I told you. RHI: Oh. With who? OLIVE: You don’t know him. RHI: And neither do you, you selfish bitch. OLIVE: Yes I do he goes to college with my brother RHI: Okay what’s his name then? END SCENE *Dindi goes to her room and talks to the webcam again.* DINDI: Rhiannon is what you would call a strong personality. A couple of weeks ago she asked me to come camping with her family and I don‟t know why I didn‟t wanna go a little because I didn‟t really feel like hanging out with her all weekend but mostly because her parents are the weirdest people I have ever met and I live in California. So I lied and told her I couldn‟t go because I had a date with an imaginary guy named George. And here‟s how I really spent the weekend. END SCENE CLIP C: 4:36-5:17 (36 secs) OLIVE: Ugh. Worst song ever. TV: Pocket Full of Sunshine scene. Cover screen but continue audio when Olive starts to sing loudly. AUDIO - 5:17-5:30 OLIVE: Take me awaaay! A secret plaaace! A sweet escaaape. A holidaaay! I got a pock-- <CUT>. What now? Olive will surely ask me how my weekend with “George” went. (hand gesture quote sign) END SCENE OLIVE: He was charming, you know? He was a real gentleman. And it feels like I got a love and I know that it‟s all mine. RHI: So are you gonna see him again? OLIVE: No. Probably not. It was just one of those weekends.. RHI: A whole weekend? OLIVE: Yup. RHI: OH MY GOD! You had sex? You totally lost your V-card to him! Now you‟re a super slut like me! Tell me everything! [Marianne bumps them on purpose.] RHI: What are you looking at bitch? MARIANNE: Just a couple of admitted whores. I can‟t wait til the whole school hears about this! RHI: Who the hell is that? OLIVE: Don‟t you know Marianne Bryant? She‟s the secretary of the student counsel, chairman of the Orange Blossom Dance Committee, and president of the Cross Your Heart Club - a club dedicated to shoving their beliefs down people's throats. END SCENE Clip D: 7:34-8:27 (53 secs) OLIVE: Last year’s cause celebre was the changing of the school mascot. PRINCIPAL: Give it up to our very own Blue Devils! MASCOT ROAR. MARIANNE: How can we exhibit school pride when we’re conveyed to others as Satan worshippers? OLIVE: Now thankfully we are the much less intimidating... PRINCIPAL: Give it up for the Woodchucks! GO WOODCHUCKS! RHI: I like Todd much better when he was topless. OLIVE: Even dressed as a Woodchuck I still fantasize about him.

Very whore couture. OLIVE: Haven’t you heard? I’m the new school slut! (twirl) BRANDON: You know I did hear something. I also heard he was twice your age. OLIVE:Oh no no no. He was a freshman in College. BRANDON: I also heard he gave you Crabs. OLIVE: Eww. People suck. BRANDON: Tell me about it. OLIVE: He’s not real. The guy I slept with. I made him up. BRANDON: You started the rumor? OLIVE: Indirectly I guess sort of. Or actually no not really no I didn’t. BRANDON: Well but you’re perpetuating it. That’s really messed up. OLIVE: Excuse me? BRANDON: Well you’re not even a real slut. You just want people to think you are. It’s pathetic. OLIVE: Uh no offense but you could probably learn something from me, Brando. BRANDON: Are you saying that I should act straight so people will like me? That’s groundbreaking. You should teach a course at The Learning Annex. It’s called the painfully obvious Olive Penderghast, the fake school slut. END SCENE CLIP F: 25:08-25:16 (8 secs) OLIVE: The next day, things took a turn for the scandalous which brings us to Part 3.: A Lady’s Choice and a Gentleman’s Agreement. *Brandon knocks on front door. Olive answers.* OLIVE: Welcome. This is where the magic happens. And as you know by magic I mean nothing. (lies down in bed) BRANDON: You wanna go out with me? OLIVE: What? BRANDON: I mean like do you wanna be my girlfriend? OLIVE: Uh Brandon just a couple hours ago you told me you were a hundred percent gay. BRANDON: Well true. But you said I should pretend to be straight so people will like me. OLIVE: Yeah I know that but I didn‟t mean with me. You‟re a nice guy and all but you‟re not really my type. BRANDON: You‟re not really my type either. OLIVE: Yeah I know that. I got a V where you‟d rather see a P. (gestures towards privates) BRANDON: You wanna have sex with me or not? OLIVE: Oh my God, dude! Wow! You completely missed the point of that! That is not what I was saying at all! BRANDON: No. I know what you were saying is that I should just act straight until I get out of this hellhole and then I could be whoever I wanna be. I get that. Powerpoint: Planning a Campaign Define the goals - what you want to accomplish -- as precisely as possible and in long-range terms, attach measurable short-range objectives OLIVE: You do know I didn‟t have really sex with a college guy right? I just told everybody I did. Or actually I told one person I did and you know how these things work. It‟s like wildfire. BRANDON: So you‟re saying I shouldn‟t really have sex? I should just say I had sex with someone. A girl. OLIVE: Yes. Yes. Oh no. No no no no no. No way. BRANDON: Think about it. We could help each other out. You wanna maintain this floozy facade. I don‟t wanna get pushed into shit everyday. It‟s a win-win-win. Powerpoint: Campaign Outline 1. Define the problem. Set goals for the campaign within an organizational framework. 2. Evaluate the impact of the problem on publics and on the organzition, and define clearly the issues involved in the problem. OLIVE: How do you know I like being thought of as a floozy? BRANDON: Because at least you‟re being thought of. Just one good imaginary bonk. OLIVE: You are on crack. Alright? And not the good kind. BRANDON: Look, it doesn‟t have to be a bonk. It could be anything. It could be an imaginary butter bean, lemon squeeze, cowbell... OLIVE: I don‟t know what any of that means. BRANDON: Well, that‟s cause you‟re a virgin. OLIVE: Okay, you know what? This is not the answer at all. BRANDON: I‟ll pay you. I‟ll pay you whatever you want! OLIVE: I don‟t want your money, Brandon. Why don‟t you just do what I did and make someone up? BRANDON: Who‟s going to believe me? Hmmm? Look, you don‟t understand how hard it is, alright? I‟m tormented every day at school. It‟s like I‟m being suffocated. And sure, we can sit and fantasize all we want about how things are gonna be different one day, but this is today and it sucks.
