The students are in Dr. Stronbow's class in desks. Varian walks in outrageously dressed.
Varian flips his bangs
Varian: Flip flip! What?
Cassandra: Nothing, it's just... You've been "Rapunzel-fied". You don't have to do that, you know?
Lance: Alright, take your seats, class! I have something to say, and very little time to say it. This is my last day here at Shiz I am no longer permitted to teach. I want to thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, your essays, no matter how feebly structured, and even on occasion, your lunch
Madam Gothal runs in
Gothal: Doctor Strongbow! I'm so dreadfully sorry.
Varian: Madam, We've got to do something
Lance: Varian, they can take away my job, but I shall continue speaking out
scientist: Come on, goat
Two men begin to carry Lance out of the room.
Lance: They are not telling you the whole story! Remember that, class! Remember that.
Lance has left the server (sorry just trying to lighten the mood)
Varian: Doctor Strongbow! (Pause) Well are just going to sit there in silence?
Gothal: Varian, there is nothing we can do. Please take your seat
Hector: Good afternoon, students
Gothal: Good afternoon
Hector: Every day, with every tick of the Time Chameleon Clock, in every corner of our great Carona, one hears the silence of progress. For example: this is a cage
Hector pulls the cloth off the cage revealing a Raccoon cub underneath
Hector: Now, we will be seeing more and more of them in the near future. This remarkable innovation is actually for the animal's own good
Varian: If this is for his own good, then why is he trembling?
Hector: He's just excited to be here, that's all. (hits cage). Now, as I was saying, one benefits of caging a Raccoon cub while he's young in that never, in fact, will learn how to speak
Varian: What?!
Hector motions the students toward the cage
Hector: That's right! Come closer!
Varian to Cassandra: Can you imagine a world where animals are kept in cages and they never speak?
Hector: Now, he may seem a bit agitated but that's easily remedied
Varian: What should I do?
Cassandra: I don't know
Varian: Well, somebody has to....... Do something!!
Sparks begin to fly everywhere. All the students and Hector start moving uncontrollably except for Cassandra and Varian
Cassandra: What's happening?
Varian: I don't know I got mad...... andddd
Cassandra: Alright just don't move! And don't get mad at me....
Cassandra grabs the cage
Cassandra: Well are you coming?
Varian runs after Cassandra after she grabbed the Raccoon cub
Varian: Careful! Don't shake him!
Cassandra: I'm not!
Varian: We can't just let him loose anywhere, you know. We have to find someplace safe......
Cassandra: Don't you think I realize that? You must think I'm really stupid or something!
Varian: No, not really stupid
Cassandra: Why is it that every time I see you you're causing a commotion?
Varian: I don't cause commotions, I am one
Cassandra: That's for sure
Varian: Oh! So you think I should just keep my mouth shut! Is that what you're saying?
Cassandra: No, I'm.....
Varian: Do you think I want to be this way? Do you think I want to care this much? Don't you know how much easier my life would be if I didn't?
Cassandra: Do you ever let anyone else talk?
Varian: Oh, sorry.... But can I just say one more thing? You could have just walked away back there
Cassandra: So?
Varian: So, no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you tend to be....
Cassandra: Excuse me, there's no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow
Varian: No you're not. Or you wouldn't be so unhappy
Cassandra: Fine, if you don't want my help.....
Varian: No, I do! Poor little thing, it's heart is trembling..... I didn't mean for....
Cassandra: What did you mean to do? Why was I the only one you didn't do it to?
Varian: Oh look your bleeding.... It must have scratched you (Referring to the cut on his face).
Cassandra: Yea..... or maybe it scratched me. I better get to safety..... I mean the cub...... get the cub to safety.
Cassandra walks off
Varian: Cassandra......
