(faces Earldon)
And why is that Mr. Salada?

Student 2/Earldon: Because I dont like him. I dont like Korean people!
(Stands up)
(Add on please)..

Guidance councilor/Xellaine: Now calm down--

Kim Bok Joo/Figie: But youre discriminating us and at the same time stereotyping. Not
all of us are the same We all have different personalities and attitudes. if you were in
our shoes, maybe youre perspectives will change. We dont understand your music too
but we didnt judge you. Why do you hate Koreans so much? IN KOREAN ( because
Kim Bok Ju cant speak English well)

Guidance councilor/Xellaine: What Kim is trying to say is : But youre discriminating us

and at the same time stereotyping. Not all of us are the same We all have different
personalities and attitudes. if you were in our shoes, maybe youre perspectives will
change. We dont understand your music too but we didnt judge you. Why do you hate
Koreans so much?

Earldon: *stares blankly and reflects

*flashback occurs
Andres: Hi Earldon! How are you? You seem really happy today.
Earldon: Hi Andres, Glad you noticed. Its actually my 2nd anniversary with my girlfriend. I
feel so lucky to have her. Im actually planning to throw a suprise party for her in the
classroom. Do you wanna come with me?
Andres: No thanks bro, I dont want to be a third wheel. Good luck with your girlfriend
though.
Earldon: Okay thanks
--4 hours later
*Earldon happily walks to the classroom with love music
*Earldon barges in his girlfriends classroom with a gift
Earldon : HAPPY ANNIVERS------ BABE?
*sees a Korean guy making out with Earldons girlfriend
Earldon: What the *****? What is wrong with you and on our anniversary too?
Girlfriend: Babe Its not what it looks like!
Korean Guy: *looks at Earldon with a smug and happy look
Earldon: I cant believe you would betray me and for someone like him. *EArldon leaves
*flashback disappears

( Earldon realizes that his actions toward Kim Bok Ju were wrong)
Earldon starts crying

Guidance Counselor:
Mr. Salada, you should learn to respect other people. We have different cultures,
languages, skin color, races, beliefs and many more. We differ in everything that we
have, and we should always remember that God created us equally. No one has the
right to judge and discriminate other people, especially because of their race and
preferences. God loves and accepts us all just the way we are.

(sigh)

Student 2/Earldon: Im very very sorry for being so insensitive and self-centered. I dont
realize it until now. Youre right. I dont have the right to judge and discriminate others.
Instead I should love everybody and respect them. Im sorry for stereotyping you. I just
had a bad experience with Koreans in the past.

Guidance Councilor/Xellaine: Im glad youve realized it Mr. Salada, now what can you
say about what he said?

(facesFigie)

Kim Bok Joo/Figie: It hurts knowing that you had something bad to say about us. But I
hope you mean everything you said and I forgive you. Korean
*Guidance COunselor translates

(Smiles while standing up and offers a hand to Student 2)

Kim Bok: Friends? Broken English

Student 2/Earldon: Friends

(Stood up, smiles, and accepts hand shake)

----- At The Classroom------

Student 2/Earldon: Guys, I have realized something.

Student 3/Jan: What is it? What happened there?

Student 2/Earldon: I was wrong. We shouldnt have treated Kim Bok Ju like that.

Student 1/Isaac: Why? How can you say that?

Student 2/Earldon: Stereotyping and discriminating others are not good. We can hurt
other peoples feelings and at the same time God will not be pleased with us. Others are
not saying things about Filipino culture and here we are talking about theirs without
even appreciating everything. Lets stop this.

Student 3/Jan: Yeah. I guess youre right. That was inappropriate.

Student 1/Isaac: We should apologize to him for not treating him right.

Student 2/Earldon: Exactly. You two should go now. Im done doing it.

Student 3/Jan and 1/Isaac: Okay.

(nodding)
(Approaches Kim Bok Joo/Figie)
(Apologize)
(man hug)
