25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (The) - My Friend, The Dictionary

MR. PANCH (spoken)

Miss Ostrovsky, your word is boanthropy.



OLIVE (spoken)

Oh, wait. One second. Please ma’am, could you not sit in that seat?



OLIVE

I saved a chair for my dad

In the fourth row on the aisle

And it may take him a while

But when he gets here

That’s his chair



‘Cause my mother’s in an ashram

In India

I saved a chair for her too

But it’s merely symbolic

As daily she washes herself in the Ganges

And I live in a house

Where there’s an oversized dictionary

That I read

As a girl

On the toilet



I love my dictionary

And I love the indented border

Every word’s in alphabetical order

Ergo, lost things

Always can be found



And I wrap my head around

The fact that in one book

Is the entire language of our species

Which is a favorite term of Nicci’s

Who’s the great-grandfather of Christina Ricci’s

(Laughs)

Yes I joke, but the words in the dictionary

Are the friends that I’ll have forever

More than the friends I have made in school



BOY SPELLERS

She’s such a lovely girl

With a lovely little voice



LOGAINNE

And I heard that she’s pro-choice

Though still a virgin



MS. PERETTI

And she talks into her hand

An often used technique



OLIVE

What you do not understand

Is once I day is then I’ve said it



MS. PERETTI

And so much to her credit

She talks into her hand

And turns aside



OLIVE

So I will not make a mistake

And be disqualified

(spoken) Boanthropy. B-o-a-n-t-h-r-o-p-y? Boanthropy?



MR. PANCH (spoken)

That is correct.



OLIVE, MS. PERETTI

My friend the dictionary

Is a very reliable friend



OLIVE, MS. PERETTI, GIRLS

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Ba da da da da da da
