Testimonials

Elsewhere on campus, Pregs drinks coffee and eats a candy bar. Naomi comes up and comments on her nutritious breakfast. So what's up, Pregs? Well, she's got a toothpaste commercial audition after school and tomorrow she auditions for Antony and Cleopatra. She wants to get Cleo because it's a "dark, tragic role" and she's never done anything like it before...on stage. Naomi says it sounds like she's really busy (um, yeah until tomorrow afternoon). Pregs hopes she doesn't smile during her suicide monologue or kill herself during her toothpaste commercial. How about killing yourself now? She gets up for another cup of coffee and Naomi wonders if it's a good idea. Because of the toothpaste commercial? No, dipshit, because your pregnant. Remember? She hasn't been to the doctor due to her hectic schedule that apparently doesn't start until that afternoon and ends the next day. She orders a coffee but has to borrow a dollar from Naomi who thinks she should deal with it.

Ryan's Class. The students file in and Blonde Boy asks how South Korea was. Ryan was actually in South Dakota and it was fine. Brunette Boy asks if the cop uses her handcuffs in bed. Instead of answering the perfectly legitimate question, he tells the class to take their seats that are now in alpha order. Hey? Only uncool teachers that have lost their desire to teach do that! Everyone sits, except for Silver. She doesn't have an assigned seat because he's transferring her out of his class. He filled out the forms and discussed it with Harry, but felt that a full classroom was the right place to tell her she's been transferred to Mr. Kaplan's class. Why? In a nut shell, he doesn't feel he can objective due to the fact that he read the part of her blog where she calls him a child-molesting pervert, almost getting him fired. Oh right, that. He proceeds with the uninspired lesson given by the substitute and dismisses "Ms. Silver".

Commercial Audition. The casting director thanks Pregs for coming. Pregs thanks her. The castings director thanks her for thanking her, and so on. Naomi and Kelly show up. Kelly tells her they need to talk.

Casting Director's Office/Soap Box Derby. Pregs can't believe Naomi brought "the freaking guidance counselor". Yup, the same one who took you to get tested for HIV and was there when you found out you were pregnant. Ass. Kelly tells her that Naomi thought she'd be a good resource for her. Pregs need to see a doctor and start taking care of herself. As a teen mom she's at risk for all kinds of problems. And also eligible for welfare, so really, you give a little you get a little. If she doesn't take care of herself she could lose the baby. Naomi counters that Pregs is only 16 and she should consider her "options". Kelly fires back that kids these days are able to do "this" with the right support. Naomi, rebuttal? Pregs' dad is gone and her mom is a nightmare. Touché.

Pregs tells Naomi to shut it. Naomi says that Pregs deserves to live her life and have a real family some day..."I'm saying you should have an abortion". Kelly agrees that Pregs should consider all of her options, but in her experience teens rush into abortion like it's their only option. She could give it up for adoption. Maybe give her baby to a single, working actress who recently found out she couldn't have kids who shares the same hair color? Naomi incredulously asks if Kelly thinks Pregs is responsible enough, no offense. Pregs, correctly tells them to get their game plan straight before they start telling trying to tell people what to do. Kelly tells her that she has to take control of her life before it takes control of her. That one shuts Pregs up real quick.
