ONE
This one’s putting on blush.

TWO

We hold Fat Girl beauty contests to see who can lose the most weight. We hold Fat Girl swimsuit competitions to see who can lose the most weight. And we hold Fat Girl Talent Shows so that girls who do not lose weight have the opportunity to develop other skills like a humorous personality or a pleasant singing voice or typing.
(beat)
Girls leave here feeling like a million bucks. And they’ve acquired the skills necessary to catch and keep the attentions of a respectable man.
(beat)
Girls like these are at risk.

Low Self-Esteem. And girls with low self esteem are by far more likely to, oh you know, do things with unsavory people in unsavory places in order that they might gain the affections of some man, any man, of whatever caliber. We want to do everything in our power to avoid that. So we give them what they need to compete with their social and genetical superiors.
(beat)
It’s Pretty Camp!

And I don’t like it very much.

Oh no, oh no, he swallowed my toe, he swallowed my toe,
Oh gee, oh gee, he’s up to my knee, he’s up to my knee,
Oh fiddle, oh fiddle, he’s up to my middle, he’s up to my middle,

Bus stops. FOURTEEN gets on. She wears heavy eye-make up and looks like a bad-ass juvenile delinquent from a 60’s drug awareness movie. She’s 11 or 12. She pauses by ALICIA’s seat but does not sit.

Hey.
