>>> ALL RIGHT, CLASS. I KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALL
PARTICIPATING IN TODAY'S WALKOUT AND I JUST WANT TO SAY I SUPPORT
YOU. >> THANKS, MR. H.
WE'RE GOING TO JOIN MILLIONS OF STUDENTS WHO ARE STANDING UP FOR
WHAT'S RIGHT. >> SO IT'S BEEN SO COOL
ORGANIZING OUR SCHOOL PROTEST WITH YOU.
>> YEAH, I HAD A GREAT TIME WORKING WITH YOU, MEGAN.
>> YEAH, I THINK WE MAKE A GREAT TEAM.
>> OH, NO, DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT AND RUB THE SHOULDER AT
ONCE, AND OKAY, IT'S HAPPENING. >> IT'S 12:00, EVERYBODY STAND
UP! >> NO WAIT.
MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T STAND UP RIGHT NOW.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO STAND UP AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE?
>> NOT AT THIS SPECIFIC MOMENT. WHERE I'M WEARING MESH SHORTS.
>> GERALD, WHAT'S WRONG? WE HAD A PLAN.
LET'S DO JUST LIKE YOU SAID, LET'S STAND TALL AND WALK OUT
LEADING WITH OUR PELVIS. >> I HATE THAT I WAS SO
SPECIFIC. OKAY, NEW IDEA.
INSTEAD OF A WALKOUT, LET'S DO A LIEDOWN.
>> LIEDOWN? HOW DOES THAT WORK?
>> WELL, TO PROTEST, WE ALL LIE FACEDOWN ON THE FLOOR, THEN
WE KIND OF WRITHE AROUND, YOU KNOW, UNTIL IT'S GONE.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> KIDS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH GERALD BUT I THOUGHT THE ROOM WOULD BE EMPTY
BY NOW AND I TIMED MY E-CIG BREAK FOR THE WALKOUT.
SO WALK OUT. >> WAIT, WAIT.
I THINK MY PROBLEM'S GOING AWAY. >> THAT'S GREAT, MAN.
>> AND IT'S BACK. AND I LEARNED SOMETHING ABOUT
MYSELF. >> I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH GERALD. >> OH, NO, WHAT DO YOU GOT LIKE
A SIDE VIEW OR SOMETHING? >> GERALD THINKS THAT THE MEDIA
HAS BEEN GIVING ALL THE COVERAGE TO WHITE SCHOOLS.
>> OH, YES, YES. I LIKE THIS, YES, YES.
>> IGNORING THE PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO FACE VIOLENCE AT HIGHER
INCIDENCES. >> YES, THEY DO FACE THAT, KEEP
TALKING, THIS IS GOOD, THIS IS GOOD.
>> GREAT, THEN GERALD, YOU LEAD THIS DIALOGUE ON RACE.
STAND UP WITHOUT HOLDING ANY BOOKS OR JACKETS IN FRONT OF
YOU, AND YOU MARCH STRAIGHT DOWN TO THURGOOD MARSHALL PUBLIC
HIGH, AND YOU SAY, FELLAS, I KNOW THIS THING IS HARD AND
UPSETTING AND IT'S PRETTY DARN CROOKED.
BUT IF WE ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES, WE CAN BEAT IT TOGETHER.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> I'M GOING TO PASS.
>> LISTEN, FRIENDS. I KNOW I'M JUST FOREIGN EXCHANGE
STUDENT. BUT IN SWEDEN, WE HAVE NO GUNS.
NO SHOOTINGS. NO SUNLIGHT.
WE SIT YEAR ROUND IN TOTAL DARKNESS EATING FISH THAT IS
ROTTEN ON PURPOSE. SO AMERICA SHOULD JUST BECOME
LIKE SWEDEN. AN ICE-COVERED NATION OF 1,200
PEOPLE AND ONE GIANT. >> COME ON GUYS, IF WE DON'T
BAND TOGETHER, WHAT'S NEXT? TRAINING TEACHERS TO USE
FIREARMS? >> OKAY, I'LL GET RIGHT ON THAT.
IN ADDITION TO TEACHING HISTORY, GYM, THEN DRIVING YOU ALL HOME
ON THE BUS, I'M SPREAD SO THIN I'VE HAD TO TEACH MYSELF TO
MICRO-NAP. [ SNORING ]
SEAT BELTS! >> ISN'T ANYONE WORRIED THIS
WALKOUT COULD GET US IN TROUBLE? THIS COULD GO ON MY PERMANENT
RECORD! I WON'T GET INTO AN IVY LEAGUE
SCHOOL, AND MY MOTHER WILL DISOWN ME, BECAUSE I'M NOT MY
PERFECT SISTER! WHO DIED!
AND THAT'S THE MONOLOGUE I'M USING FOR THE AUDITION FOR THE
THEATER PROGRAM AT CONNECTICUT COLLEGE IN NEW LONDON.
>> LOOK, GUYS. I SUPPORT THE WALKOUT, JUST NOT
TODAY. >> YEAH, I AGREE.
NO ONE TOLD ME THIS WAS HAPPENING ON 4 VSH 20, AND
FRANKLY, I'M DOUBLE-BOOKED. >> I KNOW WHY GERALD'S SITTING.
BECAUSE HE'S NOT A SNOWFLAKE. >> OH, NO, LANCE.
>> YES, LANCE. EQUAL TIME.
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST TIME MY OLD MAN TOOK ME HUNTING.
I WAS SUCH A BABY. I WANTED TO STAY HOME, WRAP A
TOWEL AROUND MY WAIST, AND PLAY LADY RESTAURANT.
INSTEAD HE DRAGGED ME WEEPING INTO THE WOODS AND MADE ME STAND
THERE IN THE RAIN HOLDING AN AR-15 UNTIL I TURNED A GOPHER
INTO RED DUST. TWO YEARS LATER WHEN I FINALLY
SPOKE AGAIN I SAID, GUNS! [ LAUGHTER ]
>> LANCE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE COUNSELOR?
>> OH, YEAH! >> GERALD, COME ON.
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LEAVE POLICY UP TO A BUNCH OF OLD
WHITE GUYS? >> NO, I DON'T EVEN LIKE OLD
PEOPLE. I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO VOTE. I MEAN, I DON'T MEAN TO CAUSE
TROUBLE BUT YOU DON'T GET TO ORDER FOR THE TABLE IF YOU'RE
ABOUT TO LEAVE THE RESTAURANT. >> THAT'S AGEIST!
IT REALLY OFFENDS ME. I WORK AT A HOME FOR THE ELDERLY
AND I GO EVERY TUESDAY AND I HOLD THEIR FRAIL HANDS.
AND SOME OF THEM THEIR SKIN IS PAPER THIN, THEIR CARTILAGE LIKE
FIRM JELLY. UNDERNEATH YOU CAN FEEL THEIR
BONES. >> OH, KEEP GOING, THE PROBLEM'S
GOING AWAY. OKAY, WE CAN WALK IN THREE,
TWO -- OH, HI, PRINCIPAL ANDERSON.
>> EVERY OTHER CLASSROOM IS OUTSIDE.
WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE? >> SORRY, I HAD TO DELAY US A
LITTLE BIT. >> OH, SO YOU ARE THE LITTLE
TROUBLEMAKER. HUH?
SO YOU'RE THE LITTLE BAD BOY. >> OH -- NO, BACK WITH A
VENGEANCE -- >> HUH?
YOU'RE THE NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NASTY -- HOLD ON, I GOT
TO STEP ON THIS BUG WITH MY STILETTO HEEL.
>> AND IT TOOK CARE OF ITSELF THE OTHER WAY, ALL RIGHT.
LET'S WALK OUT, EVERYBODY!
