My So-Called Life

My So-Called Life
"Who wrote that?"
My So-Called Life
"Is this a real haiku? Jordan."
My So-Called Life
"Just because it's not a real haiku..."
My So-Called Life
"Because it's real, I mean, in the sense that it's true to life."
My So-Called Life
"All right, Vic."
My So-Called Life
"Get out of here. Give me your work back."

My So-Called Life
"Jordan. Come here. I'm not finished with you yet."
My So-Called Life
"What's that word?"
My So-Called Life
"Don't look at the window. What's the word?"
My So-Called Life
"What's the sound? Okay."
My So-Called Life

"It seems nobody ever bothered to notice..."
My So-Called Life
"We have to figure out which one is Angela's."
My So-Called Life
"He didn't give me any Kool-Aid to drink, or anything like that."
My So-Called Life
"- This substitute is cool. - He's not a substitute."
My So-Called Life
"- Who are we? The KGB? - God, these are weird."
My So-Called Life
"- Mayday. - Is that Angela's? Let me see."
My So-Called Life
"- Oh, my God. - My juicy sweetness?"
My So-Called Life
"What happened to freedom of expression?"
My So-Called Life
"Come on. That doesn't belong in the Lit."
My So-Called Life
"Mr. Racine? We spoke earlier. I'm Angela's mother."
My So-Called Life
"- I met your husband the other day. - Right."
My So-Called Life
"- What I wanted to talk about was-- - He's a lucky man."
My So-Called Life

My So-Called Life
"Really."
My So-Called Life
"There's this one piece in particular..."
My So-Called Life
"that I just don't feel comfortable printing."
My So-Called Life
"So, this is just censorship for censorship sake."
My So-Called Life
"No, I'll type them myself and I'll have them Xeroxed."
My So-Called Life
"These are children. We are adults. This is not censorship."
My So-Called Life
"That was a very reasonable opinion."
My So-Called Life
"And very clearly stated. Unfortunately it is total manure."
My So-Called Life
"- Why is it manure? - Good question."
My So-Called Life
"It is manure because this should be about giving students a voice."
My So-Called Life
"You should really teach full time."
My So-Called Life
"We have a difference of opinion. Fine."
My So-Called Life
"But do you think you should be in the position of deciding..."
My So-Called Life
"because you have a printing press and I don't?"
My So-Called Life
"So. Did Angela write it?"
My So-Called Life
"First of all, whoever wrote it has zero self respect."
My So-Called Life
"I know, my basement is so filthy."
My So-Called Life
"So?"
My So-Called Life
"You wrote that haiku poem? You?"
My So-Called Life
"Yes. Will you shut up about it?"
My So-Called Life
"Why are you even talking to me? We have nothing to say to each other."
My So-Called Life
"Do you know how over my life will be when people find out I wrote it?"
My So-Called Life
"You mean, people think you wrote it?"
My So-Called Life
"No, it's not a trick. I want people to think I wrote it."
My So-Called Life
"I wish I had written it."
My So-Called Life
"I mean, how did you write something that good?"
My So-Called Life
"- Spit it out. - Foster has the Lit."
My So-Called Life
"Has it, like, every copy except a few that people stole or something."
My So-Called Life
"He won't allow us to distribute it. Because of your haiku thing."
My So-Called Life
"So Vic says we have several options. We could file a lawsuit..."
My So-Called Life
"You would not believe how many boxes of thin mints..."
My So-Called Life
"We could stage a make believe book burning."
My So-Called Life
"That a school should burn books like Nazi's?"
My So-Called Life
"Except that Mr. Foster hasn't actually burned anything. Has he?"
My So-Called Life
"Has he burned anything? Good question."
My So-Called Life
"No, but it amounts to the same thing."
My So-Called Life
"Vic says that if somebody called a news station and read them our poem..."
My So-Called Life
"we'd have camera crews, instantaneously, all over the school."
My So-Called Life
"- Is there anymore brisket? - You call your teacher Vic?"
My So-Called Life
"- You call him Vic? - It's his name. And I..."
My So-Called Life
"I just respect him, you know. He's smart."
My So-Called Life
"He's an adult I can look up to. Finally."
My So-Called Life
"- What? - Nothing."
My So-Called Life
"I'm going to count my money again."
My So-Called Life
"The point is, we are concerned. We're concerned about your future."
My So-Called Life
"We don't want you doing anything that could get you into trouble."
My So-Called Life
"What about all those boring stories I've had to sit through my whole life..."
My So-Called Life
"about how committed you were in the '60s?"
My So-Called Life
"About how you believed in things."
My So-Called Life
"Only now you're so terrified of causing trouble..."
My So-Called Life
"you can't even see what it means to me."
My So-Called Life
"People are saying everything. That he was fired."
My So-Called Life
"I've read the Liberty Lit and found certain materials in it unacceptable."
My So-Called Life
"- Excuse me. - Yes, the young lady right there."
My So-Called Life
"How can you say it's unacceptable if nobody is allowed to see it?"
My So-Called Life
"- Yes, what's wrong with it? - Can I just say something?"
My So-Called Life
"That's enough. I must hold school authorized publications..."
My So-Called Life
"to certain standards of decency."
My So-Called Life
"Anyone found distributing the journal will be suspended from school."
My So-Called Life
"That's a promise. A new substitute will be here in a minute..."
My So-Called Life
"to work with you until we find a permanent replacement. Is that clear?"
My So-Called Life
"Please remain in your seats."
My So-Called Life
"Mr. Racine. Mr. Racine!"
