I am a big fan of the show [tag]Weeds[/tag].

Just now I rewatched the season finale of the second season, and I’m still sitting here thinking “Wow, what crazy shit. I don’t want to wait until next Summer!” But, this is unfortunately how it is, and so I shall wait.

Anyhow, the show is excellent, and though it does seem like it has veered a little bit off into crazy out-there stuff, it’s still regularly quite funny to me.

In the last episode, one of the characters gives a speech as a representative of his graduating (from elementary school to junior high) class. I thought his speech was pretty funny, so I have decided that I will transcribe it here:

Greeting Agrestic elementary school, class of 2006.

Hello teachers, parents, step-parents, siblings, boyfriends and girlfriends of parents, assorted relatives, friends of your mom and dad who you call aunt and uncle who really aren’t, and Principal Dodge.

As I stand before you today, on the brink of junior high, here is what I have to say:

YOU HAVE FAILED US ALL!

Everything is not OK! We have become alienated, desensitized, angry, and frightened.

If we picture Agrestic as an airplane, a grand soaring jet, carrying us through the sky, I think you all need to understand: There are motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.

[crowd of elementary schoolers erupt into cheers, and the Principal intervenes to end the speech]

Eventually he wrests control of the mic back for a moment and says a few more choice words. I thought the whole thing was quite funny, though I guess it doesn’t transcribe quite as well as I had thought.

Oh well, the show is still great.
