## Transcript

(In the cafeteria of diamond city elementary, Kidware walked up to a Lunchlady)

Lunchlady: Can I help you kids?

Kidware: Yes!

lunchlady: enjoy your meals

Kidware: thank you

(Then Kidware went off to find a seat. Then they found a seat, when they’re about to eat, 9 volt halts them)

9 volt: now I know what your here

Kidware: 9 volt?

9 volt: yep, that’s a name! This is a good old story about how you were born in.

Eva: really?

9 volt: yes, indeed (sings) Well you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks And now I'm trying to get back Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my best-est And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn To win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing  We are just one big family And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved...

(after school)

9 volt: have you heard of student inc? A group that formed?

Zoe: uh, yeah

## Part 2

Dr crygor: Previously, on Warioware adventures. Hah-haa! [he stabs the camera]

(at diamond city elementary)

9 volt: but I don't want to go home. I'm not done talking to me.

Zoe: Just get out this door, kid, and you're the city's problem. If you make it through the night, you're welcome back.

Dribble: we must pick up another customer

Natalie: (reads the page) how that girl never saw, a rock, that’s a good place to leave home

Jordan: Hey, I just realized. We're Both The Rock!

Natalie: What do you mean?

Jordan: Together, you and I make one biracial wraparound. (gasps) Do you have any folding chairs?

9 volt: No.

Jordan: That's all right. I'll use this. (Smashes the vase) Folding chair!

9 volt: Ow!

Natalie: What was that?! (gasps as she puts the book down) That was my great-grandmother's vase!

9 volt: On the drive up from that place, she kept that vase 'tween her legs.

Jordan: W-What are you doing?!

Natalie: Making sure you learn your lesson. (Spanks him)

Jordan: Ow! It hurts! It hurts!

9 volt: Um... thank you. I'm not much for public speaking, or much for speaking, or, come to think of it, much for the public. And I'm not very good at lying. So let me just say that, in my experience, elementary sucks. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have started advanced placement classes in preschool so I could go from eighth grade straight to college.

*(in the stands, Rhys dons sunglasses and a baseball cap)*

9 volt: However, given the unalterable fact that elementary sucks, I'd like to add that if you're lucky enough to have a good friend and a family that cares, it doesn't have to suck quite as much.

*(cut to first Libby, then to Zoe and Matthew, all of whom smile at 9 volt’s words)*

9 volt: Otherwise, my advice is: stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong; remember, when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is* naked; the truth and a lie are not "sort of the same thing"; and there's no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with my games. Thank you.

*(claps and cheers from the audience)*
