Not the Next Cheerleader Lines

But I have my original cheer!

Cheerleading isn't your thing Kathy. I'm sorry.

Honestly.

Honestly?

Good huh?

wow, I don't know what to say

Laura guess what? I've decided to try out for cheerleader! So tell me, what do you think of this jump (jump)

(start of scene)

I'm afraid so. Everyone wants to be a cheerleader!

Forty-Two? Are you serious?

Probably! Here, I'll try the splits! (Splits) ouch! This hurts!

I don't want you to embarrass yourself! Look, Kathy, most of the girls trying out have been in gymnastics or dance for years. Can you even do the splits? Or a back handspring? Or any of those difficult moves?

You're trying out too, aren't you?

I'm sorry but you are.

terrible?

I'm sorry, but you're terrible?

I know! Isn't that sad? But I think I've got a really good chance. Especially with this move. (jump) Plus my original cheer! "We are we are we are the tigers, we are we are we are the tigers, go, fight, win!"

If forty-two are trying out that means, let's see....that means thirty-two won't make it!

Sure! Be honest with me. I'm good aren't I?

Kathy, I have to be honest with you.

Oh yeah? Then why are you telling me that I'm terrible?

Kathy, I'm not trying out!

Then what is it? Tell me!

Kathy, believe me, I'm not jealous!

Well it won't work! Because you cannot talk me out of this! So, We'll just have to let the students decide who is best. And with my moves and my original cheer, well, what can I say? Except, I've already got this competition nailed!

No!

How about this move after the boys throw me in the air? (jumps twirl)

Oh, yeah, because the boys have to catch the girls after they're tossed in the air so they don't land on their head. Kathy do you actually think you can do those move? You know, being thrown up in the air while doing a somersault or the splits?

But I want to be a cheerleader! I want to wear the cute little outfit and be thrown into the air...well, not really high, but sort of high. Anywho, my original cheer is going to get me votes! "We are we are we are the tiger, we are we are we are the tigers, go, fight, win!" Jealous?

Then maybe you should ask to be the cheerleading coaches assistant. You know, help with ideas, new cheer...

Because I'll become all popular when I'm a cheerleader next year. It's called jealousy!

Why do you think?

Laura, you're me best friend. I trust your opinion

You really want me to tell you the truth?

forty-two

different. that's for sure, so, how many girls are trying out?

You mean how many girls, and boys, are trying out?

how many girls are trying out?

All those cute little outfits, being the center of attention, not to mention all the boys that want to date you (falling back/stumbling)

not me

and, get this, I've invented my own cheer! (demonstrates) "we are we are we are the tigers, we are we are we are the tigers, go, fight, win!" What do you think? Good huh?

uh...I'm not sure

and I can count on your vote, can't I? I mean, this year's competition is going to be tough

well, honestly...

or how about this one? Do you like it more? (jump)

wow. that was, uh...
