DAY THREE
BRICKLEBEE: (always grinning for the imaginary camera) This is the day, folks!
We will find our winner in just a few hours! (dramatically) For one
of you, this will be the most important day of your life. Anything
you���ve learned? Final thoughts? (holding a banana as a microphone,
puts it in front of Judah)
(rap groove) You gotta watch what you���re sayin���. No time for
playin���. Practice makes ya perfect, fame is really where it���s at.
(posing) Word.

BRICKLEBEE: (to Megan) Tiny Dancer, final thoughts?
(smugly speaks into the banana) To become a star, you need to think
about what���s best for you, and keep your eyes on what will help
you accomplish your goal, no matter what anyone else thinks!
NOAH:
(bitterly) Oh, don���t worry. My act is better without you!
MEGAN:
(snapping) Perfect!
MONIQUE:
Oh, no! That���s not what we���ve been learning!

MEGAN:
Just try doing a show without the drums���it won���t happen!
MEGAN:
And sorry, but without anything visual, how interesting would it
be? Dance is the language of the soul!

NOAH:
SAMI:
And poetry is way more beautiful and complex than something,
like . . . rap!
JUDAH:
(offended) Woh!
(Kids argue with each other)
MONIQUE:
Wait, wait, everyone! I think we���ve gotten off track.
BRICKLEBEE: Now, Martha, a little healthy competition is normal for a prize of
this value. This contest will change someone���s life!
