The noctivagant alley cat
kept the entire
neighborhood up all night
by sitting on a fence, yowling
out to her many suitors.
Noctivagant.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Okay. Noctivagant.
N-O-C-.
T-I-V-I-G-A-N-T.
Noctivagant.

PETE:
Well, we haveour first elimination
of the tournament.
I'll be right back.
DR. BOWMAN:
Yes, andsurprisingly early, too.
PETE:
Next upis Mr. Guy Trilby.
He's 40 years old,
lives in Columbus, Ohio.
Clearly, Mr. Trilby
has found a loophole
in your rules of entry
and is exploiting it.
Needless to say, this
is beyond unfortunate.
My staff and I are making
all the efforts necessary
to rectify the problem
for the tournaments in
the years that follow.
With that addressed,
on with the competition.
And the man himself, Guy Trilby.
My turn.
Frabjous.
F-R-A-B-J-O-U-S.
That is correct.
(CROWD APPLAUDS)
(CROWD CLAMORING) DEAGAN: Thank you.
That's enough!
Listen! Listen!
We are doing all we can
to find a happy resolution
to this situation.
PETAL:
Aren't youembarrassed?
This is gonna go down in history
as the most ridiculous
spelling bee ever!
And it's gonna be on your head!
He's a grown man!
Do you know how much money I've
spent on goddamned coaches?
I'm sure it's a lot.
A ton! He's a lunatic!
Yes, he is.
So fix it!
Or I swear on my child's life,
with God as my witness,
this will be the last year
you're the director of this bee.
DEAGAN:
All right,there's no need for threats.
Now, if you can all
please just leave my office,
I can assure you this matter
is in very capable hands.
Now, keep in mind Mr. Trilby doesn't
have the discipline and practice
that all of your children have.
He's made it through
the first round.
But Dr. Bowman and I
are extremely confident
he's not going to
make it much farther.
And I also swear on
your children's lives,
if he makes it to
the final round,
I'll step down as director of
the bee immediately. Good day.
(CHATTER ON TV)
I'll jump in your shower
as soon as this buzz kicks in.
Hey, let me ask you a question.
What's the grammatical
significance of the sentence,
"Why run from fire ants?"
Is this a test?
No. it's just...
I was wondering
what the grammatical
significance of
that sentence was.
"Why run from
fire ants?"
Ah, well,
every vowel is in there.
Starting with the going to the
Right? It's backwards.
I guess it's easy
for a sentence.
I wish there was one word that
had all the vowels in it.
But in alphabetical order.
Facetious.
Son of a b*tch.
I got it?
You're brilliant.
Give me another one.
You're a genius.
These questions are from a test
that they give to geniuses.
I got hold of your school
records, Guy Trilby,
and your 8th grade counselor
made a note on your file
just before you dropped out...
Let me see that.
Saying that you showed
signs of being a genius.
FedEx was waiting for me when I got here.
I told you I was good.
Mr. Leavenworth,
what a dick eater.
He told me I was
a useless loser,
and then he makes secret notes
saying that he thinks I'm smart?
I'm glad I stole his
bike and shaved his cat.
You just never had a chance
to shine in this school.
You just never had
I had a shitty upbringing.
My dad wasn't around.
It goes on and on and on. Who
skated through their adolescence?
Where was your father?
I don't know.
You got somethin' there?
Where's your pen?
Maybe he was brilliant.
Maybe your mom was.
Because they say that
sometimes that brilliance
and photographic memory,
which you have, are inherited.
It didn't come from Mom. She hated
everything to do with education.
This one time when I was a kid,
I tried to get in this local
spelling bee, ironically enough,
and she burned my
favorite dictionary.
Is that why you're here?
A chance to do something
that you weren't able to
do while she was alive?
Are we in interview
mode now? Come on.
You can't just have
a normal conversation.
You've gotta turn everything
into the interview.
I'm a reporter.
So, can't you talk, too?
(GROANS) You know what?
You have problems, Guy Trilby.
You're a shrink, too? Right? A
shrink on top of being a reporter?
I don't know how
you cram it all in.
And you're the one
with the problem.
You have to be blindfolded to get off.
That's a problem.
Oh! Well, don't worry
about that, Guy!
Because that's never
gonna happen again!
Great.
Oh!
Yeah, great!
You promise?
I wouldn't let you near my vagina
again if you paid me $1 million!
(SHOWER RUNNING)
JENNY:
Don't look at me!GUY:
Yeah...Can you be quiet?
Your voice eats hard-ans.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
really. Let me apologize.
Okay. Oh! Okay!
You are sorry.
That's generous.
Uh-huh?
Uh-huh!
Hang on.
This make it easier?
Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on.
I'm gonna hold still.
That makes it easier, right'?
Don't look at me. I get it. I get it.
Don't look at me.
Did you get locked out?
I was wondering if
you wanted to grab
some alimentation
for our hyperphagia.
I'm hungry.
Oh, I just got pretty hungry myself.
Sure, let's go for it.
Can't believe you
can't find any other
pre-masturbators
to hang out with.
The place is crawlin' with them.
CHAITANYA:
You know, you can actuallystudy for the spelling bee anywhere.
Thank you.
Is that right?
Try spelling "rigatoni"
without looking.
I don't want to.
I don't need to study.
You need to study
because I'm gonna
slaughter you like a sacred cow.
Not everything is about winning.
No, that's true. Closure
is pretty nice, too.
To me, it's about fun.
You probably deserve a
little bit better than that.
Excuse me.
I'm the mother of one of the
competitors competing here.
Okay.
What you're doing
is an insult to
every honest child
that's worked so hard to
be here, including my son.
I've worked very, very
hard to get here, too,
madam, and I'm
well within the rules.
(CHUCKLES) You're an a**hole.
That's all.
That's a child.
Yes.
And I'm sure he's heard
even worse from you.
I don't speak like
that in front of him.
(LAUGHS) Oh, is that right?
Yes, that's right.
So why don't you
take your potty mouth,
go locate your
pre-teen cocksucker son,
and stuff him back up that old,
blown-out sweat
sock of a vagina
and scoot off to whatever
sh*t-kicking town you came from.
Can you do that for me?
Like an elephants
trunk, I'll bet.
Gray and distended.
Wow.
Good night.
Good day.
Thank you.
Mothers.
Let's get out of
this restaurant.
It's a little depressing,
don't you think?
My dad doesn't ever allow
me to leave the hotel.
Daddy's not here, and he sounds
like he could be an a**hole,
so let's not listen to him. Let's go
find you some real fun. Side door.
(SPEAKING INAUDIBLY)
(INAUDIBLE)
JEREMY:
I'm glad I was intown to catch your call.
You look really, really good.
I appreciate that
I've been stayin' away from sugar.
Cold turkey.
Wow. Do you feel
