Teacher: This isn’t a true/false question. Mike: Oh right, “D”none of the above. Teacher: Forget it Mike, I’d like you to stay after school today we’ll go over the material you’ve missed. Mike: oh gee, I can’t. Coach Levocik has me staying after his class today. Teacher: Tomorrow will be fine. Mike: No can do, I got detention in history. Teacher: Alright, Thursday, then?

I do have a couple days open next week, though.
Teacher: Well, class, a visit from Mr. Dewitt, this is an honor indeed.
Mr. Dewitt; Stop sucking up Salinger, I’m in no mood. Where is Mike Seaver? Out in the hallway, mister, and I mean now.

Boner: Geez, this is worse than we thought. Friend: You know Seave, you’re turning into a regular Michael J. Fox. Mike: Hey look, I have not worked since Kindergarten on my party animal image to have it all
flushed down the toilet.
Boner: Mikey, why don’t you just drop out?
Mike: I can’t drop out, my name is already on the ballot. If I drop out now I’ll be a weenie on top of everything else.
Friend: What a stupid suggestion.
Boner: Oh yeah? I wasn’t talking about dropping out of the elections, I was talking about dropping out of school, now who’s stupid? (phone rings)
Mike: Thank you, thank you, I mean that very, very sincerely Mr. Dewitt.Girls: Hit it Girls! Okay! Michael Seaver he’s our man, vote for him, please oh please.
Mike: Okay, they’re not poets. Now why would a dude like me want to be your student body president? Is it the fame? The money, the power? It’s the power. Just kidding. Now, what can I tell you people, you all know me. You know what I’m all about and you know what I stand for.
And I ask you to overlook all that and vote for me anyway.Girls: Mike! Vote for him! We’re gonna vote! He just might be okay. Mr. Dewitt: Thank you for those stirring words. Now let’s hear from Mr. Jordan. Robert: Thank you Mr. Dewitt. Ladies and gentlemen, fellow hooters…Friend: Way to go out there, Mikey!

Friend: I’ll support him now if you want.
Carol: I’m a traitor.
Friend: It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t stand a chance, doesn’t matter that the only reason he’s on the ballot is because Jordan had a few friends who are on the nominating committee. I don’t care I love you!
Carol: What did you just say?Friend: I love you! Carol: No, the important part.
Boner: That’s right! I won the coin toss fair and square, right, Mikey? [Next scene]

Maggie: Oh? Jason: Yeah, well Mike commandeered the kitchen for the campaign. Maggie: You’re changing the subject. Jason: Yes I am, just in time too. Yea, he’s got Eddie and Boner in there making signs,
planning strategies. You won’t believe the way he’s committed to this election.
Mike: Alright, alright, I want you to get 600 copies of this made, and by tomorrow morning we’re gonna have one stuffed into every locker.Boner, Eddie: Right. Ben: And you said I couldn’t do 25 of ‘em.
Mike: I lick Mike? Ben: What? Mike: Ben, you misspelled “like”on every one of these. Ben: So, you can’t use them? Boner: Very humorous. Ben: I’ll fix them.
Jason: Well, Mr. Candidate, we’re going to go for some takeout down at the Choo-Choo Le Mieux BBQ.
Mike: Uh, look, before you leave, Mom, you think you can take a look at this?
Maggie: Sure Mike, what is this?
Mike: Well, um, the elections are tomorrow and each candidate has to read a speech over the PA system so I thought maybe you could take a look at it and tell me if it’s ok.
Maggie: Sure. I’m Mike Seaver your candidate for student body president. A lot of you think of me as the guy in the back of the classroom who makes rude noises with my armpit. Uh, well,
ok, maybe I’ve done that, maybe I’m not a genius or anything and maybe I’m not a jock but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about Dewey High. Ask my friends, they’ll tell you how much I care about our school and about them. Hey, I’m just one of you guys, and if you think somebody just like you might do a good job as student body president, I ask for your vote today. Thank you.
Mike: No good, huh? Maggie: Mike, I wouldn’t change a word of this.Jason: Except maybe armpit.Mike: You know I was kinda thinking about that, but that’s kinda how I’m best known. Maggie: Oh, I wish I were still in high school.Jason: So do I. Maggie: Bye! Jason: Bye bye! See you mike! Mike: Bye bye. Have fun. Alright, rude noises with my armpit. Weird noises with my armpit.
Much better.Carol: Mike? Mike: Uh, Carol, look I really don’t have time to talk to you right now.Carol: Come on, I’ve been waiting for you to be alone since I got home.
Mike: Why?
Carol: Well, to apologize for embarrassing you today, see I was just mad that somebody as pathetically inadequate as you would be nominated for student body president.
Mike: Look, Carol, when does the apology start?
Carol: Look, I said I was sorry,.
Mike: Hey, look, maybe you don’t think stand a chance but the nominating committee sure did.
Carol: The nominating committee? Mike, you should know something…
Mike: No, no, no, look you should know that I am not some kind of joke just because people are laughing at me. With me. You know what I mean.
Carol: Mike, if you think you can win you’re really stupid, I mean…
Mike: Yeah, that’s what it says. Boner: Read the other one. Mike: Pee Wee Herman 64. Boner: I didn’t even know he was running.
10
Eddie: Go see if you can get any more returns.
Girl: Mike, Mike! would you like to hear my victory cheer?
Mike: Maybe later. Maybe Carol’s right, maybe there is no place in politics for a guy who comes to class with a toilet seat cover around his neck.
Eddie: Well then it’s a pretty sad day for America, Michael.
Mike: Hey man, this is no big deal. I mean, who wants to be student body president anyway. You know, the only reason I’m in this election is because… look, this whole thing is just a joke.
Boner: You guys aren’t gonna believe this one. Junior class total, Jordan 64, Seaver, 198.
Girls: 198 so far and…!
Mike: No, no! Please.
11
Eddie: Hey, look at this Mickey, You are only ten votes down from Jordan! Boner: I’ll get the senior tally. Mike: Oh, man. I could actually do this. I might win this one! PA: Attention everyone, this is Mr. Dewitt speaking. We have the results of the student body
election.Eddie: This is it.

Jason: C’mon, you wanna be the first president in history to get grounded for his entire term? Carol: Well, if I’m not wanted I’ll go to my room. Jason: Hey! Hold on here.Mike: Hey, let her go!Carol: I’m going! Mike: Good riddance! Ben: This is great! Jason: Stop this! Come on all of you. Maggie: Ben, go to your room. Ben: Why? Maggie: Because somebody has to! Ben: I’m going, I’m going.
Jason: Mike? Maggie: Carol? Don’t anyone go anywhere. Except you, Ben.Ben: Nuts!
Maggie: Hello?
Mr. Dewitt: Hello, I’m Hewey Dewitt, principal of Dewey-oh! Wow, you’re Maggie Malone. I watch you on the news every night. Maggie: Well, thank you. He watches me on the news every night.
13
Mr. Dewitt: You’re Mrs. Seaver. Oh, I didn’t make the connection. Maggie: Well, come in. You’ve met my husband, Jason. Mr. Dewitt: Many, many, many times. Jason: How are you Mr. Dewitt? Mr. Dewitt: Not good. Mike: Yo, Mr. D!
Carol: Listen to me, it’s about the election, it was rigged! Mike: So this has like, nothing to do with the vomit whatsoever?
Carol: Mike, listen, you won the election because I rigged it. Mike: Oh yeah? Carol: Yeah! Mike: Why would you do that?
14
Carol: Well, this moment I’m questioning that myself. Let’s just say, I didn’t want you finishing behind Pee Wee Herman.
Mike: Look, you expect me to believe you could pull something like that off? Carol: I interfaced with the school computer, cross-referenced all active student ID numbers to come up with 125 airs tat ones which I then input as ASP code back into the central data bank.
Mike: Okay, that’s one way to do it.
Carol: That’s why the principle’s here!
Carol: Yeah, and for what it’s worth you came really close to winning without my votes.
Mike: You actually did something illegal for me? I don’t know what to say.Carol: Well, you’re my brother, like it or not. Jason: In my office! Maggie: Mr. President!
15
Jason: This doesn’t concern you. Carol: But it does! Maggie: Carol, please. Mike! Carol: Mom, I have to tell you something! Jason: What is it? Carol: Ok, alright.
[Next scene] Mike: As you all heard on the PA system this morning, there was some uh…Mr.Dewitt: Fraud Mike: Ok, fraud, in yesterday’s voting, so I will not be able to serve as your president but I do

want to thank everyone out there who did vote for me, both those who do exist and those who don’t. So, since the charter of the student council says that those who tamper with the nominations or the elections must be disqualified, here is your new student body president, the only person on either ticket who was not a crook, Richard Millhouse Stabone.
Crowd: Boner! Boner! Boner!
