This is a parody of the first scene of Julius Caesar. I will not be continuing it.
I do not own any of the concepts, characters or ideas represented herein. They belong to Shakespeare.
Enter Jules, Anthony, Mark, Charles, Teacher
Jules – Anthony, hold these books for me, will you?
Anthony – Of course
Teacher – Beware the Ides of March.
Jules – Why?
Teacher – Because you have a big history test that day.
All – Groan
Exeunt Jules, Anthony, Teacher
Charles – Mark, look at your face.
Mark – I can't, "for the eye sees not itself."
Charles – That's Shakespeare, right?
Mark – Yes, we're reading Julius Caesar in English class.
Charles – Here's a mirror.
Mark – Oh, I have food on my face. Rubs at it
Charles – But a mirror cannot show your worth.
Mark – Huh?
Charles – You are well respected at the school, and some people wish you understood certain things.
Mark – What's that have to do with a mirror?
Charles – I'm not really sure.
A cheer is heard
Mark – What is this cheering about? I'm afraid that Jules has decided to run for student council.
Charles – Then you don't want him to?
Mark – No. Despite his popularity I don't think that he would do the school any good. But never mind that. What was it you wanted to talk to me about?
Charles – The thing is that Jules is no greater than us. Once he actually came to me and begged that I let him copy my homework, but now that he's captain of the football team he thinks he can order me around. Another cheer
Mark – They're cheering again. It does appear that Jules is up to something.
Charles – Of course. He's always making much of himself. I wonder if it's something he eats.
Mark – I know his pride is annoying, but it doesn't hurt us and it doesn't seem worth complaining about.
Charles – I have heard rumors that Jules supports the idea of year-round school.
Mark – Gasps Then if he is elected to student council it could be our downfall. I've heard the principal talking about it. It sounds awful.
Charles – You're right. Something must be done to preserve summer vacation for future generations!
Mark – I'll think about it.
Enter Jules, Anthony, Oscar
Charles – Hey, Oscar!
Oscar – What is it?
Charles – We heard cheering. What was going on?
Oscar – Anthony kept saying that Jules should run for student council and everyone cheered, but Jules refused. He did seem to like the idea, though.
Charles – Then what did Anthony say?
Oscar – Something in pig-latin. Everyone laughed, but I didn't understand a word.
Charles – You don't know pig-latin? I should teach you.
Exeunt all
