The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences called, and Mr. Vaughn Hogans', Joanie Shinn's, and Mrs. Shelly Erskine's Oscars are ready. Can those three sell a script, or what? You know the acting is stellar when some of the people watching the closed-circuit TV broadcast get...well, irritated.
If interpreting a script is about suspending the viewers' disbelief, these three definitely hit a home run. Everyone at Georgetown Middle School, especially the teachers who eat with Mr. Hogans during last lunch, already know about his unfortunate fascination with floating strips of Oscar Mayer bologna- pork, not beef- in a bowl of lime Kool-Aid, but, apparently, many people had no idea that his wife wouldn't allow him to buy Oreo's. Surely, the irritation had nothing to do with the cell phone!
The fact that Yoda wrote the script may have had something to do with the reaction. "Called on the Force, not the Dark Side, I did, to come up with the concept. And cool, it was" he said, smiling. "Not know, did I, that question, anyone would, Mr. Hogans' dietary choices." As for the cell phone? It was a prop! "Who knew, a joke, they could not recognize?" Yoda said.
