1）開頭的課堂討論：那些讓我們必須戴上面具偽裝自己的“真實(shí)”

規(guī)矩例如：不能爆粗口（Miss S在爆胎的時候爆了好多粗口，然后拼命道歉，太好笑了2333）、不能抽煙、”the thing that really spoke to me was the idea of emotional freedom, like leaving yourself being free. Cause, most people aren't in institutions, obviously, but we are all locked up in some way. ““We are, aren't we? So when school is an institution, it is not an 'institution', but it is still a place that we have to go everyday, and it can feel like, you are stuck, like you are not allowed to be yourself all of the time, right? What are some other places that can feel like that?"（不過這里我有點(diǎn)費(fèi)解，怎么突然討論到這個問題？又為什么突然轉(zhuǎn)回課文？）（學(xué)生的爭論也沒有懂，所以說他們基本上都是用看電影取代讀課文？真的讀了書的人反而會被嘲笑？）2）去比賽的路上Margot說：我們幾乎每天都在一起，并且說很多話，但是我們卻對彼此不甚了解。

。

你不覺得這很有趣嗎？“Don't you think it is interesting, Miss Stevens, that we spend almost every day together and we talk about so many different things, but we don't really know each other? I mean not really."3）爆胎的時候：Miss S爆了很多粗口——現(xiàn)在是”在學(xué)校“還是”不在學(xué)?！?？老師可以爆粗口嗎？”You curse a lot." "I know.""When we are at school..." "It's just a switch,""Why isn't the switch on now?" "Because we are not at school?""but like, we are."4）修輪胎的路上，Billy想和Miss S聊天，但是Miss S躲得遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的；直到在路上，Miss S發(fā)覺Billy對她的“拉拉”事件是理解的，他們才開始“真正交流”，甚至Billy以為他可以叫Miss S “Rachel”5）第一輪比賽后餐桌上。

“男朋友”“Rachel”之下Miss S恢復(fù)到“老師”的角色，開始管教6）……“Just cause people are the people you are supposed to talk to it doesn't mean you can talk to them"有些人似乎是你應(yīng)該信任并且傾訴的，但是這并不意味著實(shí)際上真的是這樣Billy被認(rèn)為“行為失?！辈⑶乙恢狈幈荣惤Y(jié)束后他告訴Miss S 他停止吃藥了，并且感覺非常棒；但是Miss S卻問他：我需要找別人來幫忙嗎？Billy認(rèn)為Miss S和他一樣悲傷，但是她選擇用一般意義上的”穩(wěn)定“（工作車和房子）來麻木自己，告訴自己一切都很好“Up until a week ago, I was pretty straight, the medication, right? I am saying I am sad, too, Rachel, but the pill I take to make me not sad and they made me feel nothing. Those are my options: sad, or numb. So I stopped taking them, and I didn't tell anyone, and I was scared, I thought I was gonna go crazy or something. But I don't! I feel great! I feel like, alive, like I could just..."Miss S和她的一夜情對象的對話：當(dāng)老師面對學(xué)生，inside or outside？”It just, take over, you know." "Yeah, I have been trying to quit my whole life.""Kid." "I actually find, cigarettes to be more difficult.""Being a teacher is difficult.""Everybody said that. But really it is not. I care about my job, and I'm pretty good at it. I care that my students succeed, they graduate, the outside. Tell you what I don't care about, is the inside, their silly little lies. That's the stuff that makes people think that it is hard, cause the stuff is hard. You gotta stay outside."Miss S其實(shí)也沒有做到“inside”，但她……仿佛在努力她仿佛很有自己的一套做事原則和評價標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：例如認(rèn)為沒有出賣女友的Miss S是拉拉，挑毛病Miss S的車、行為，評價Miss S的歌品，八卦Miss S的年齡、男朋友、性取向，一直很關(guān)心要Billy補(bǔ)考；她同時很敏感，發(fā)覺侍者在和Miss S調(diào)情；她很愛管閑事，例如在Miss S講話的時候她補(bǔ)充背景，她關(guān)心學(xué)校的藝術(shù)社團(tuán)投資甚至暗中資助旅途，安頓這趟旅程的一切她的“原則”并不是不近人情，在一些時候她認(rèn)為可以撒謊，比如幫Billy考試；同時，在考試中，她又非常有原則地檢查會不會讓Billy偷看到答案
