Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Mr. Welch:
So whoever wins the school bee today gets to represent Crenshaw at the district bee next month.
Akeelah:
Why would anybody want to represent a school where they can't even put doors on the toilet stalls?
[coughing]
Mr. Welch:
Akeelah, if we can't show students can perform, we're not going to have money for books, let alone bathroom doors.
[pause]
Mr. Welch:
Now, I want you to do the bee today, okay?
Akeelah:
So everyone can call me a freak and a brainiac? No, I ain't down for no spelling bee.
Mr. Welch:
Well, maybe you'd be down for spending the rest of the semester in detention for all your absences?
