The Famous Jett Jackson

Silverstone:
My head feels like an elephant sat on it.

Hawk:
Don't worry, it should swell back up to its regular size in no time.

Hawk:
Why are all the cute guys terrorists?

Riley Grant:
What are you doing?

Kayla West:
I'm milking a cow. You wanna try?

Riley Grant:
Reading animal farm was fun. Squeezing that is not.

J.B. Halliburton:
Are you going to tell Kayla that you like her? [Jett looks at J.B. with shock] Oh, come on! It's not like everyone doesn't know that you like her!

Kayla West:
[to Jett] You do know you're in the girls bathroom, right?

Kayla West:
Silverstone's in the girl's bathroom!

Jett Jackson:
[opening credits] Silverstone, the ultimate action hero, top agent for a secret organization saving the world one mission at a time... at least that's who I play on TV. In real life, I'm Jett Jackson. Being a TV star is cool, but being a regular kid is even better so I had the show moved back to my hometown, Wilsted, North Carolina. Now, I can hang with my friends which is great. And the best part of all, I get to spend a lot more time with my family. Hey, I'm just trying to live my life as a normal kid, but people still see me as the famous Jett Jackson.

Elijah Waters:
Then you must know how hard it is to talk to someone special about how you feel. You must have someone special...

Jett Jackson:
[shouts] Kayla and I are just friends! [calms down] Sorry.

Kayla West:
Can you imagine caring about someone so much and not letting them know how you feel?

Jett Jackson:
Yeah, imagine that.

Kayla West:
So the firemen just busted down innocent people's doors?

Mr. Dupree:
Well according to that government, those people were not innocent, they were guilty of a heinous crime; owning books.

J.B. Halliburton:
Man, librarians must've been on the most wanted list.

Mr. Dupree:
Not far from the truth, Mr. Halliburton.

Jett Jackson:
Yeah but that could never happen now, you know, in the real world.

Mr. Dupree:
One would hope not, but in the near future as the author Mr. Ray Bradbury shows us, anything is possible.

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
Can we do this outside, Mr. Dupree, please?

Mr. Dupree:
I will not leave my classroom.

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
Alright, the book you've been teaching, Fahrenheit 451, has been banned by the city ordinance... 451.

Mr. Dupree:
Oh the irony! Tell you the truth, Sheriff, I knew it was banned.

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
Wish you wouldn't have said that, Edward, now I'm going to have to place you under arrest.

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
Mr. Dupree is relieved of his teaching duties, indefinitely and without pay. I'm sorry.

Kayla West:
You're sorry? You arrested him!

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
I don't like it any better than you do, Kayla, but you heard him admit he knew it was illegal.

Kayla West:
It doesn't matter, what you did was wrong.

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
Kayla, Mr. Dupree could've gone to jail.

J.B. Halliburton:
Jail? For reading a book?

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
Not just any book, J.B. The city ordinance states that any book promoting illegal behavior should be banned, and Mayor Beale believes that Fahrenheit 451 promotes the challenging of authority.

Kayla West:
Oooh! Soon people will start having original thoughts and start thinking for themselves. [gasps] I can see the revolution now!

Kayla West:
We're holding a support rally; what they did to Mr. Dupree is wrong and we're going to let them know it. Are you with us?

Jett Jackson:
Of course I am, I just can't demonstrate with you.

Kayla West:
Why not?

Jett Jackson:
Well I don't think it would look too good, with my dad being the sheriff, you know.

Kayla West:
We're not going to be doing anything illegal, it's a peaceful assembly, nothing wrong with that, right?

Jett Jackson:
Right, but I got a lot at stake with the Silverstone image. I mean how do you think the network would feel if I got arrested?

Kayla West:
I can understand but what if there was a law against people watching Silverstone?

Booker Murray:
If you don't mind my saying, sir, you were the best teacher I ever had.

Mr. Dupree:
Now those are very kind words, Booker.

Booker Murray:
Matter of fact, you taught me Fahrenheit 451 when I was in school too.

Mr. Dupree:
How could I forget? You were always bright eyed, full of questions, sometimes even good ones.

Booker Murray:
You know thanks to you, I developed a whole new appreciation for fine literature.

Mr. Dupree:
Well that's nice to hear. You finally gave up those awful superhero comics then?

Booker Murray:
Oh no sir, I still read them, but with a much keener eye for subtext. Now I know you need to make a living and all, but you're a teacher, you should be teaching.

Jett Jackson:
[on a bus] Where' you taking me, Nana?

Miz Coretta:
No place in particular.

Jett Jackson:
Okay, so we're just gonna ride around aimlessly just on the bus.

Miz Coretta:
Something like that. Where you sitting?

Jett Jackson:
In the front seat?

Miz Coretta:
That's right. You know Jett, when I was your age, if I tried to sit in this seat, I'd be arrested or worse. Though a lot of people thought the law was unjust, it stayed that way until one woman decided she was going to do something about it.

Jett Jackson:
Yeah, you're talking about Rosa Parks.

Miz Coretta:
That's exactly who I'm talking about. And until she refused to give up her seat, peacefully disobeying the law, was the law changed. Now that took real courage. You know Jett, just because something's a law, doesn't mean it's right.

Sheriff Wood Jackson:
[arresting Jett for reading Fahrenheit 451] Booker... [finds Booker reading Fahrenheit 451]

Booker Murray:
Uh, I'm sorry sir, it just ain't right. Um, you want me to arrest myself, sir, and maybe save you some time?

Mayor Beale:
I appreciate your indictment of our town laws, but most of out town citizenry here have little trouble following them.

Jett Jackson:
Objection!

Mayor Beale:
To what?

Jett Jackson:
To the juxt... to what you just said! Wilstead's laws are broken every day.

Kayla West:
Why, just this morning, Mrs. Dunleavy violated article 6 section 42 of the Wilstead penal code.

Mrs. Dunleavy:
I did not! I never broke a law in my life!

Kayla West:
I'm afraid so, ma'am. Today is Thursday and according to the penal code, hanging your husband's shorts on the line on a Thursday is a direct violation of the law.

Jett Jackson:
And then there's Austin Roy, willfully violating article 7 subheading B: he was seen playing his accordian within 50 yards of the local library. Do we really want these criminals on our streets? I say we arrest them!

Mayor Beale:
[dryly applauding] Son your little showbiz spectacular is very entertaining but it's wildly off the mark. Those are very very old laws.

Jett Jackson:
Exactly my point, and it's about time that somebody changed them.

Jett Jackson:
With all due respect, Mayor, last evening were you or were you not in direct violation of article 19 of the Wilstead penal code?

Mayor Beale:
[laughing] I definitely was not.

Jett Jackson:
[turns on the video camera] I'm sorry sir, but it's a direct and blatant violation of the Wilstead penal code to mow the lawn in your shorts after 6 P.M.
