Complex Reflections on Beauty and Identity
Sylvie Cooper
She was definitely a turnoff, too overt. Look at her. Obviously, big problems. Most girls don't fly through the air with their skirt around their waist. ] at least had the decency to wear tights; not that I read comics. I'm more the politically, environmentally correct feminist, poetry-reading type. You know, boring. I wonder if she posed for that painting. Great perm. Blond hair, obvious bleach job. Too bad it's six months old. I don't know how she does it. I get airsick on a seesaw. I guess she's sort of beautiful. I don't know. Those lips. Lips are supposed to be a perfect reflection of another part of a woman's anatomy. Not that I'm a lesbian. Well, maybe I am. No, definitely not. I told my mother I was, just for shock value. She said, "Fine, just as long as you don't smoke." Which, of course, is my main joy in life. Probably oral compensation. I don't think I was breast-fed. I can't imagine where she came from. None of the other kids at my school are that scangy. I really wish we could be friends.

Reflections on Injustice and Education in Jail
Darryl Cooper
Well, I'll tell you one thing: the kids are learning the metric system here... kilos, grams, that sort of thing. We're in jail, we've put ourselves in jail, and we're gonna stay in jail, while the people who should be behind bars are free on the streets. This has been A Piece of My Mind. I'm Darryl Cooper, general manager of KTVM. Thank you.

Father's Influence and Personal Rebellion
Ivy
How did they know it was you? Wait a sec. I've seen your dad. He is that guy, that jerk on TV who does those tweaked editorials. You phoned in a bomb threat to your own father?! That's great. No, I mean it. I'm gonna break this to you real slow. Your dad's an idiot.

Conflict Over Editorial Decisions
Darryl Cooper
I ought to slap you good. You can't put 200 people out on a sidewalk just because you don't like an editorial! They're trying to get rid of me. Whose side are you on, anyway? Sylvie, you hurt me.

Warning About Street Safety and Drug Dealers
Darryl Cooper
Get the hell off the street!! Because the only people who are safe there are the drug dealers. They have more firepower than the police department.
