Daily Dialogue — November 12, 2012
Dewey: OK, who’s got food in here ? You’re not gonna get in trouble. I’m hungry. You. What do you got? That’s what I’m talking about. OK. Teach. Teach. Teach. All right, look, here’s the deal. I’ve got a hangover. Who knows what that means?
Frankie: Doesn’t that mean you’re drunk?
Dewey: No. It means I was drunk yesterday.
Freddy: It means you’re an alcoholic.
Dewey: Wrong!
Freddy: You wouldn’t come to work hung-over unless you were an alcoholic. Dude, you got a disease.
Dewey: What’s your name?
Freddy: Freddy Jones.
Dewey: Freddy Jones, shut up. The point is, you all can just chill today. We’ll start on this crapola tomorrow. Yes, Tinkerbell?
Summer: Summer. As class factotum, first I’d like to just say, welcome to Horace Green.
Dewey: Thank you.
Summer: Do you have any questions about our schedule? Because usually now Miss Dunham teaches vocabulary, then gives us a pop quiz, then splits us up into reading groups. Track B is –
Dewey: OK, hey, hey, hey. Miss “Dumbum” ain’t your teacher today, I am. And I got a headache and the runs. So I say, time for recess.
Summer: But Mr. S, that poster charts everyone’s performance. We get gold stars when we master the material covered. How do we get gold stars if we just have recess?
Dewey: What are these black dots here?
Leonard: Demerits.
Dewey: What kind of a sick school is this?

This week’s Daily Dialogue theme is Teacher-Student, suggested by Teddy Pasternak who also recommended today’s post.
Trivia: Originally in the script, Dewey had supposed to have run the teacher over before she came to school which stopped her from teaching the class for 3 weeks. After, they changed it to her falling in the shower instead.
Dialogue On Dialogue: This is exposition as revelation, Dewey learning what a “sick” school the place is. This establishes a baseline from which we can measure the changes Jack Black brings about.
