[Next scene]
Carol: Fifth grade English. ‘While the language of the play is truly beautiful and rich, the plot is nonetheless predictable and the ending more than a bit depressing. It is my judgment that Hamlet cannot be considered one of Shakespeare’s major efforts. So wrong. Carol, While I may disagree with your conclusion your paper is excellent.’A plus. Definitely didn’t deserve. Ben: Carol, are you being punished for something?
Carol: No, why?Ben: Well, you’ve been up here since dinner. And you didn’t even eat your dessert.Carol: Oh, I’m just up here thinking about my whole sham of a life and what it means. That I’m not really Carol the Brain after all. That my life is a meaningless void.Ben: So, you don’t want your dessert?Carol: Life is so simple for you isn’t it, Ben?Ben: Depends on whether or not you want your dessert.Carol: Go ahead. You can have it.Ben: Thanks!Carol: Ben, I’m glad you’re as simple as you are.Ben: Thanks.

Jason: You are home early today.TV: Oh, Chad. Can’t you see that it doesn’t matter to me whether you have a birthmark or not? It’s you I love! But you see my darling. Fawn. It can never be! You see, that nurse, your mother, was my mother as well! I’m your brother!Maggie: Do you mind if I turn this down?Jason: Huh? I don’t watch these things.Maggie: Hello? Yes, Coach Luvok. I remember you. Carol? No, that can’t be. Yes, yes, of course. Thank you. Jason, Carol’s been caught vandalizing school property!
[Next scene]
Maggie: Mr. Luvok.Coach Luvok: Oh. Mrs. Seaver. Doc.Jason: Where’s Carol?Coach Luvok: Ah, in there cooling out.Maggie: Cooling out?Coach Luvok: Ah, don’t worry. I got the screwdriver away from her.Jason: What screwdriver? Coach Luvok: I suggest we stay in control here. Jason: Well, I suggest you tell us what’s going on.
Coach Luvok: Ah, heck. I don’t know. Women never make sense to me, you know what I mean? Oh, yea and another thing, she comes to me today in class and tries to get me to
change her A plus into a F.Maggie: You mean her F into an A plus.Coach Luvok: No, I don’t.Jason: Well, that doesn’t make any sense.Coach Luvok: What did I just say?Maggie: Well, then, why did she tell us she got a F? I know. You don’t know because you don’t understand women.Coach Luvok: Bingo!
Maggie: Can we see her now before I lose my temper?Coach Luvok: Sure, sure. Hey, uh, what’s she mad at me for?Jason: If you have to ask the question, you won’t understand the answer.Coach Luvok: Now I see where Carol gets it from.
[Next scene]
Carol: Hey, I might as well tell you. I mean, you’re gonna find out anyway, right? The Carol Seaver you’ve always known, the one who gets the perfect grades, well she’s a mirage, ok? Case closed.Jason: No, no, no, no, no.
Carol: I mean, all those A’s, all that perfect work. It wasn’t perfect after all! It doesn’t prove a thing!Jason: Well, why do you think your teacher gave you all those A’s?Carol: For the same reason they give Mike D’s. Because it’s expected. Teachers know Carol Seaver gets A’s. I mean, I can turn in a blank sheet of paper and get an A for being succinct.Jason: Well, how do you think you got that reputation in the first place?
Carol: For having the best sand pile in kindergarten? I don’t know. All I do know is that I can’t even fail when I admit to the teacher that I didn’t study because I was making out with Bobby.Maggie: What?Carol: But then why bring him into this already tense situation? Look, I won’t cause you any more trouble. Let me just go to my next class and collect my next A.Jason: Why?Carol: What do you mean why?Jason: Well, since the thing that’s been driving you all these years is getting good grades and
since you’ve now figured out that they’re worthless, why waste your time? Why even bother going to school where, God forbid, you could learn something?Carol: Good point. Let’s go home.Jason: That should’ve worked.
[Next scene]
Carol: Ok, Ben. You can have my dessert.Mike: He already ate it.Carol: Mike, I’m not in a good mood.Mike: Eh, it’s ok. You never are.Carol: Mike, what do you want?
Carol: Wait!
Mike: What?Carol: What did you just say?Mike: Whoa!Carol: Before that.Mike: Uh, Volvo’s.Carol: Before that.Mike: I forgot.Carol: You said that when we’re adults no one would care about the kind of grades we got in

school. They’d only care about the kind of person we are.Mike: I said that?Carol: So, the more we learn the more we become enriched as people!Mike: No, I know I didn’t say that!Carol: Of course! Education not only shapes how other people see us but how we see ourselves. It’s not about learning facts, it’s not about grades, it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being somebody worth knowing.Mike: Uh-huh.Carol: I better like myself, since I’m gonna be with me all my life, right?Mike: Right.Carol: That’s worth going to school for! That’s better than grades! That’s worth studying for until you drop! That’s it! Thank you, Mike! Mom! Dad!Mike: Should’ve known she’d miss the point.
[Next scene]
Maggie: So, you’re saying that by sending Carol to her room to think last night, you solved her problem?Jason: Well, I think it’s obvious that my suggestions got Carol on the road to…Why? Do you think I’m taking too much credit?Maggie: Oh, I didn’t say that.
Ben: Hey! Who the heck ate Carol’s dessert?

Jason: Oh, ok. Well, it certainly sounded as maybe…Maggie: Carol. She’s feeling like herself again, she even got her appetite back. Ben: I liked it better when her life was a meaningless void. 11

Jason: Wow, you do pay attention. Carl: Of course I pay attention.
[Laughter]
Jason: To think that I was, I was looking for someone to answer my questions Carl, and what I really needed all the time was for me to help someone else with theirs. It was so simple, so basic. Carl: You didn’t think I was listening to you, did you?
[Laughter]

Jason: No, no, I hardly ever do that anymore, Rosanne.
[Laughter]
Jason: But I think we should…Rosanne: It is so nice of you to be so nice about this. Jason: [Laughs] No problem, it’s just, why do you want to see another therapist?
Rosanne: Why? Jason: I think this is important for you and me. Rosanne: Why? Jason: Yes why? Rosanne: Why?
[Laughter]
Rosanne: Because you’re not helping me at all.
[Laughter]
Jason: I see.

[Laughter]
[Laughter]
Boner: I’m gonna drop it, I’m gonna drop it. Jason: Hold on, will you two stop arguing.
[Laughter]
Mike: Oh there, are you happy now?
[Laughter]
Jason: You better have a real good reason for all this.
Mike: Oh heck yeah dad. We’re doing a torso study of Boner for art class.
‘er
Boner: Yeah, that’s why Mikey said I should carry in everything: uh to pump up my physique.
[Laughter]
Mike: Oh uh Dad, this is Jill. She uh, she paid for all this plaster, so if you’re gonna kick us out, you’re gonna have to answer to her. Jason: Hi, look uh, take this…Jill: So are we kicked out or what? Jason: The basement’s fine.
