Context

Rowan and Bobby introduce Ms. Unger to the other members of The Undertakers Club; Bettina and Jenny rebel.

Text

ROWAN: Okay, everybody. Um, I told you I’d have a surprise for you this week. This is Carolyn Unger. You may know her from freshman English. She’s . . . uh . . . agreed to become our faculty advisor.

BETTINA: Why do we need a faculty advisor? We never had one before.

JENNY: Yeah—I thought this club was a secret.

TONY: Are we going to be graded now?

ROWAN: Calm down everybody. It’s all part of the natural evolution of our organization.

BETTINA: Rowan, I didn’t join an “organization.” I like to act, but I didn’t want to end up in a student production of South Pacific.

ROWAN: Nothing’s going to change.

JENNY: It already has.

BOBBY: Hey—give us a chance.

ROWAN: Look, there’s no reason why we should miss out on the benefits the school has to offer just because we came up with our own club.

MS. UNGER: Uh, guys, if I’m not wanted here, I’m not interested in the job.

ROWAN: Wait, really, everything’s all right.

JENNY: C’mon Bettina, let’s go.

MS. UNGER: Your group seems to lack a certain . . . uh, cohesion.
