Activity 2.
Oral Reading. Practice the script with your teacher.TEACHER: Miss, um, Gilmore, could you come up here please? [Rory walks up to him] Here are last week's study materials. [he hands her a huge binder] There'll be a test on them tomorrow, but since you're new, you can take a makeup on Monday. Will that be sufficient time?
RORY: Monday? Sure, that's fine.
TEACHER: Good. That's just an overview. It would be very helpful to you to borrow one of the other student's personal notes. They tend to be more detailed.
RORY: More detailed than this?
TEACHER: It seems daunting right now, I know.
RORY: No, no. It's okay. It'll be fine.
TEACHER: Remember to get those notes. They'll be a lifesaver.
CUT TO HALLWAY
[Rory walks out of the classroom and almost bumps into a girl]
RORY: Oh.
PARIS: I'm Paris.
RORY: I didn't see you there. Where'd you come from?
PARIS: I know who you are, too. Lorelai Gilmore from Stars Hollow.
RORY: You can call me Rory.
PARIS: Are you going out for the Franklin?
RORY: The what?
PARIS: Nice innocent act. At least I know you're not going out for drama club.
RORY: I'm confused.
PARIS: The Franklin, the school paper, are you going out for it?
RORY: I don't know, I have to find my locker first.
PARIS: I'm gonna be editor next year.
RORY: Well, good for you.
PARIS: I'm also the top of the class, and I intend to be valedictorian when I graduate.
RORY: Okay, I'm going now.
PARIS: You'll never catch up. You'll never beat me. This school is my domain and the Franklin is my domain. And don't you ever forget that. [she walks off]
RORY: Guess you're not gonna let me borrow your notes, huh?
CUT TO INDEPENDENCE INN KITCHEN
[Sookie is going through a crate of peaches while Jackson the produce man looks on]
SOOKIE: They're smaller than the last batch.
JACKSON: No, they're not.
SOOKIE: Smaller means watery. No good peach taste.
JACKSON: No, there's plenty of peach taste being as they're, you know, peaches.
SOOKIE: What about the ones on the bottom?
JACKSON: Oh, great. No, be sure to check 'em all. That's it. Give every last one of them a nice good squeeze. You wouldn't wanna actually leave me one that I could sell somebody else.
