Esteemsters: Difference between revisions

The next day, prompted by O'Neill's advice during self-esteem, Daria convinces her family to go to [[Pizza Forest]], a kid's restaurant where singers, dressed as animals, try to join families in singing: Quinn is bored, and Jake and Helen are uneasy, but Daria seems to be enjoying her family's discomfort.

 

 

Some days later, as Daria is at Jane's, they agree to use Jane's memorization of the self-esteem exam questions to pass the exam three weeks early. They do so during the following class, answering O'Neill's questions with upbeat, stock answers. Mr. O'Neill is so impressed with the girls graduation three weeks ahead of schedule that he decides to announce it at a school assembly. At the assembly, while on podium, Jane fakes sudden embarrassment and runs off stage amidst laughter from students. Daria, on the other hand, gives a small speech about self-esteem, concluding with a big thanks for ''her sister Quinn'', in front of all their colleagues (taking revenge on Quinn earlier stating that she is an only child). Quinn is furious that Daria has addressed her in front of the whole school and, that evening, at home, she raves and dramatically declares she will lock herself in her room for the rest of the life, in typical teenage fashion. This decision, however, lasts only until she takes a call from another male student, [[Matthew]], which immediately lifts her spirits.
