Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Critique of Intellectual Engagement in Society

Angie Steadman It's completely barbaric. This place is an intellectual wasteland, but it's nice to meet a person more interested in his mind than his body.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising

Reflections on a Disappointing College Party

Shelby I am so happy I found you guys. That was the most weird party ever. I thought college parties were supposed to be fun or something.

Nora Yeah, I felt unsafe.

Beth It was super rapey in there.

Nora If I’m being honest, I’ve never done drugs before, but college is about new experiences.

The Magic of Movies and Memories

Hugo My father took me to the movies all the time. He told me about the first one he ever saw. He went into a dark room, and on a white screen, he saw a rocket *fly* - into the eye of the man in the moon. - It went straight in.

Isabelle Really?

Hugo He said it was like seeing his dreams in the middle of the day. The movies were our special place.

Carrie

Prom Invitation and Maternal Disapproval

Carrie Momma, before you say anything else, I've been asked to prom. Momma, I've been asked to prom.

Margaret Oh, God, Why?

Carrie It's next Saturday and he's a very nice boy, and he'll come in and meet you before and he promised to have me home by 10:30.

Margaret No, no, no, no.

Carrie White I've already accepted. I know this scares you, it scares me too. The other kids... they... they... think I'm weird, but I don't wanna be, I have to try and be a whole person before it's too late.

[Margret is stunned.]

Margaret He'll hurt you.

Carrie No, Momma, no, Momma, th-there are bad people but not Tommy, he's good, you'll like him, he's a very nice boy.

Margaret Boys, boys, after the blood... comes the boys, sniffing, slobbering like dogs!

Carrie Stop it, Mamma!

Margaret He's gonna- he's gonna paw at you, until he finds out where that blood smell comes from. He's gonna take you Carrie, in his car, out to the wilderness, out where its cold and the roadhouses are and the whiskey!

Carrie Stop being so crazy!

Margaret Y-you tell that boy you're not going!

Carrie No!

Margaret We'll move from here, we're never gonna stop moving.

Carrie No, Momma!

Margaret You're gonna go to your closet and you're gonna pray, you're gonna get in there and you're gonna pray for forgiveness!

Carrie NO, NEVER AGAIN, MOMMA!!! Momma, stand up. Momma, stand up! Momma, I'm going.

[Carrie's stress telepathically lifts the furniture in the living room. Margaret screams and falls to her knees along with all the furniture in the living room; Carrie is shocked as Margret looks up at her daughter in shock.; Margret is still stunned and stares at Carrie; she telekinetically lifts Margaret two feet above the ground. Margaret screams and cries, looking at the ground in fright.]

Margaret Witch.

Carrie I'm not a witch, Momma. There are no witches.

Margret The devil's got her now.

Carrie It's not the devil, Momma, there are other people out there like me that can do what I can do.

Margret You poor child, don't you know? Don't you know he's working through you?

Carrie Momma, it's inherited, it was passed down from grandma and it skipped you.

Margret No, no, no.

Carrie Y-you know that.

Margret No, no, no.

Carrie Or maybe it came from daddy.

Margaret He gave me a cancer, I thought you were cancer.

Carrie Momma, that's awful, don't say that! You pray for all you want, Momma, but I'm going, and nothing's gonna stop me. And I don't wanna talk about it anymore.

[Margaret starts muttering prayers; she drops Margaret to the ground as she cries in relief and fear]

Struggling with Broken Dreams and Possibilities

Hugo What an idiot! Thinking I could fix it!

[angry and disappointed that the automaton hasn't written anything of sense]

Isabelle Hugo...

Hugo It's broken! It's always been broken!

[sits in chair, covers his face and begins to cry]

Isabelle Hugo, it doesn't have to be like this. You can fix it.

Hugo You don't... you don't understand. I thought... I thought if I could fix it... then I wouldn't be so alone.

Isabelle Hugo, Hugo look! It... it's not done!

Hugo It's not writing! It... it's drawing!

Hugo That's the movie my father saw!

Isabelle Georges Méliès. That's Papa Georges name. Why would your father's machine sign Papa Georges name?

[amazed]

Hugo I don't know. Thank you. It was a message from my father. And now I have to figure it out.
