Joan arrives at school. We can hear Grace's voice yelling, "This affects you, people! You could be next! Rally against injustice! No proof, no test! Support Joan Girardi against the neo-fascists!" Joan sees that Grace has organized a protest on the steps of the school and is handing out flyers outlining her position. Joan comes up the steps and asks Grace what she's doing. Grace: "It's your revolution. Don't you recognize it?" Joan: "Sort of." Grace, who's wearing buttons that read "I Believe Joan" and "No Proof / No Test," says, "It's okay. You've taken a stand, I'll organize the effort." A blonde girl in a navy pinstripe suit and pearls stands nearby. She kind of looks like a very thin, angular version of Lisa Whelchel. She also looks like a future president of the PTA, and she's been half-heartedly handing out flyers and mouthing, "Fight the power." She whines, "Grace, my feet hurt in these shoes." Grace: "Did I ask you to dress like a Republican?" Hee! Grace introduces Joan to Teri Ann, the student body president. Teri Ann says, "I'm not entirely clear on the revolution, but Grace said I had to do it. As student body president, I have to stay in touch with the issues." Also, I'll bet Grace threatened to break her arm. She asks Grace, "What's the issue?" Grace replies, "Recalls are very popular these days. That's all you need to know." Teri Ann goes back to chanting limply, "No proof, no test."
