Did you ever have one of those days? Script

Did you ever have one of those days?
When your guard was down a little bit
Maybe you’re tired
Your mind might be on something else (2 second Montage of people with stuff)
Bad things just happen
Maybe is a bunch of small things (montage breaking pencil, shoelace, catsup packet)
Little things can really ruin your day
But every once in a while
Its one bad thing
That can ruin a whole week
It comes out of nowhere
And everything flips 180 degrees
Its going to be a bad day
I’ll let you in on a secret. HALL PASS
It’s all about how you handle yourself under pressure WALKING TO FOUNTIAN
You might want to freak out
Spray, Look at slacks LOOK of SUPPRISE,
SCREAM MONTAGE
It’s only going to make things worse
Composure
It’s about maintaining control
Take a breath and think
Not of the consequences
LAUGHING AND MOCKING STUDENTS
Thinking about consequences leads to
SHORT SCREAM montage
You have to think of a solution quickly
STUDENT DUMPS A BUCKET OF WATER ON SELF RETURNS TO STUNNED CLASS
Your level of composure will be
directly related to the quality of solution.
STUDENT REMOVES JACKET TIES AROUND WAIST AND RETURNS TO CLASS
It’ that simple.
