INT. EAST HIGH - HALLWAY - DAY

Riley eats lunch alone in the school-hallway again. A short,


condescending, TEACHER appears. She is MRS. PEETZ, 50s.

MRS. PEETZ
You can’t eat in the hallway.

RILEY
Oh, hello! My names’s Riley Cox,
I’m a new Sophomore -

MRS. PEETZ
You can’t eat here.

RILEY
Sorry?

MRS. PEETZ
It’s a detention.

RILEY
What’s a detention?

MRS. PEETZ
If you eat another bite, you’ll
have to do your homework under
teacher-supervision in the library
during your sixth period. Today.

RILEY
Hmm. Well, I guess I’ll just take
the detention. This is where I feel
comfortable to eat lunch, and the
detention sounds pretty productive.

MRS. PEETZ
Huh. Do you know who I am?
RILEY
No, I tried to make your acquaintance
earlier but you cut me off-
MRS. PEETZ
I’m Mrs Peetz. The Principal. And
you must be Mr. Remarkably Rude.
RILEY
(genuine)
Oh no, Ma’am! I’m not Mr. Rude!
Really! I’m real friendly...would
you like a bite of tuna?
He offers her a bite of his sandwich.
