INT. BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO – DAY
The store is quiet. RAY is standing behind the counter preforming a menial task. SCHULER, the store manager and a British expatriate, flanks him while preforming a slightly less menial task.
SCHULER
I watched that bloody School of Rock movie. What tripe garbage!
RAY
Well I liked it.
SCHULER
If that had been one of my kids, I’d have been calling for that guy’s head, not applauding the wanker.
RAY
If you remember, that’s what they did want at first.
SCHULER
Oh right. I suppose they were won over by his performance —
RAY
No, it wasn’t about him … it was about the kids. They created something exciting and wonderful.
SCHULER
Bollocks! They didn’t learn anything. That’s why you send the little bastards off to school in the first place.
RAY
You are a sad, sad man. Those kids learned how to rock.
SCHULER
No English. No science. No bloody math. These kids have nothing that is going to help them get a job. I mean, do you Americans seriously believe that if you can just ‘rock’ then everything else will be okay?
RAY
Yes.
