The current page could have changed in the meantime. yes yes it has. changed url. [Hey, this is callmecash. I changed my URL. If you got here expecting to find a post or whatever, just change the "callmecash" part of the link with my new username.] tricky ~ did not easily figure wh to replace 'call me cash' with. guess that was her intention. plus if try to right click: "The page at http://74.125.95.132 says: No right-click allowed. Reblog the right way." what's the right way? whtvr. anyway thank you for text of script for this scene:

Sandra Oh great delivery.

Humanities Teacher: Ok, people, listen up. The first order of the day here in Humanities class is: take out a piece of paper. Now I want you to do exactly what I say. With no deviations. Take out that sheet of white. Fold it. Keep on folding it until you have sixteen perfect, pristine squares. I assume everyone knows what a square looks like. Now cut them out! Don't stare at me like a bunch of retardos and make some squares! Do it! Have you counted up sixteen? You should know how to make squares by now, thank you. Now then, put your squares to the edge of your desk facing the aisle. I mean, perfect! I wanna get some paper cuts when I pick up your stacks! Center, people, center!
*gathers paper squares to trash bin* Thank you, thank you.
Now then, will somebody mind explaining to me why you let me waste your time without calling me on it? And while you're at it, will someone please explain to me how you can let me call you retardos? That's prejudice! I know, I know. I know I'm intimidating because I dress fantastically, but you have to listen to that little voice inside your head that says, "Hey, teacher-lady up there is acting a little whacked. Is she on crack?"
*gestures to the drawings of little fish on her dress* What is this fish doing? What is this little fish doing?
Student: Swimming?
Humanities Teacher: That is right! That is right, he is swimming off to become an individual! Swimming off to become an individual!

Popular episode 1.3 Under Siege (part 1 of 5) >>> ~ 6:00 min mark:

and huh turns out the homecoming crowning scene in 1.7 is familiar, how did I happen to see that? when it aired it was 1999. at 9619 turned on tv & passed by the WB? I remember this bit:
Nicole Julian: Our next nominee *lowers voice* a size 10 *resumes volume* Mary Cherry!
(Cherry Cherry in the stands: She does look big as a house, don't she?)
Nicole Julian: And now, my personal best friend and a perfect size 2 Brooke McQueen!

POPULAR - Episode 1.07 (Part 5/5) >>>> ~ 3:10 min mark
Mary Cherry: Sorry I didn't win Homecoming Queen to make you proud, Mama.
Cherry Cherry: Well those are the breaks Sugar Booger they always give it to a pretty girl. [ - ] You know Mary Cherry I lost my first pageant too.
Mary Cherry: Mama, how can that be?
Cherry Cherry: The judges were nuts is the only way I can explain it. Anyway, guess what I did when I lost that crown?
Mary Cherry: Shot 'em, mama?
Cherry Cherry: I went out & I bought myself this. I said to myself, Cherry Cherry, practice holding your head up high, and not tripping girl, 'cause that's the attitude you need to win at life.
Mary Cherry: Mama! You brought your crown here just for me?
Cherry Cherry: Yeah. I'd figured you be a loser.


TWoP - All TV Shows & TV Series [P]: Popular - Permanent Hiatus
Popular was a Trojan horse for Television Without Pity, so to speak. We added the show thinking that this feeble-looking high-school drama about Sam, a brainy brown-haired teenage girl, becoming the stepsister of Brooke, the blonde homecoming queen and Sam's symbolic nemesis, would provide a plethora of snark material. We were right but there were also unexpected moments of camp brilliance that forced us to respect it. The characters of Mary Cherry (a prophecy of Lizzie Grubman in the guise of a ruthlessly ambitious Texan oil-money cheerleader) and Nicole Julian (the second most popular girl in school who tried harder, much harder) made this the gayest hour on television. Unfortunately, network interference made the series virtually unwatchable through its second season and, despite some brilliant moments toward the very end, it was cancelled after a confusing cliffhanger ending.
