Context
Jared and his two sidekicks are gathering near the water fountain to plan how they can bully Charlie at the water fountain. This scene leads into a big number called “That Dweeb” where the three sing and dance about how they will dunk Charlie’s head into the fountain. It’s comedic in style, but brings up some interesting topics about bullying and how to act if you are a natural leader.

JULES. So wait, what’s the plan again?
JARED. Jeez, it’s not a hard plan! For gifted students you two can be really dense.
RACHEL. My primary areas of study are world history and the classics.
JULES. And I’m like, a visual learner!
JARED (Sighs) Okay, so the big plan is, you two grab his arms and I swirl his head around in the water fountain, get his hair all wet and stuff. We need to teach him a lesson for the way he acted at lunch today!
RACHEL. Can’t we do something to him after school?
JULES. Some of us have things to do after school Rachel.
RACHEL. Like what? Isn’t the only club that meets today the knitting club?
JULES. (RACHEL and JARED stare at him--he realizes he’s been caught) My Gram Gram taught me to do it, okay! And knitting is really meditative!
JARED. (Over RACHEL laughing) Guys, focus! I’ve had enough of this Charlie kid. Sunrise Prep school is a cool place for cool kids... like us!
RACHEL. (Impersonating an old timey New York accent.) And sometimes people don’t need to be here. (She punches her hand into her opposite palm, JULES agrees.)
JARED. Again, a little intense, Rachel. But keep up that enthusiasm. All we need to do now is sneak up behind him.
