Panch lines (Act 1) Flashcards
Not included: Spelling words, definitions, sentence examples, responses to questions (ex. "yes" "no"), songs, or a speller being called up.
Rona: Vice Principal Panch is returning to us after a 5 year hiatus—So thank you Doug/Donna for stepping in on such short notice.
Thank you Rona, and as for the incident 5 years ago I would like to say I’m in a much better place now. It’s amazing what a change of diet can do for a man/woman. Thank you.
Panch: It’s amazing what a change of diet can do for a woman/man. Thank you.
Rona: Wonderful.
And, may I add, not only is Ms. Peretti one of Putnam County’s top realtors, she’s also a former spelling champion herself.
Panch:…she’s also a former spelling champion herself.
Rona: third annual
Syzygy
Panch: Syzygy.
Rona: Syzygy. When the Earth aligns with the moon and the sun.
Beautiful. And now for the Pledge of Allegiance lead by our comfort counselor, Ms. Mahoney.
All: …for which it stands. One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Spellers be seated. Thank you Miss/Mitch.
Rona: (after The Rules) Rona’s favorite moment of the bee.
Then, without further ado, let the spelling begin with: Miss Swartzandgrubenierre
Mom: You understand the other kids will have all won their district bees?
Leaf: Yeah but well but
Capybara
Panch: Capybara
Leaf: What?
Your word is capybara
Panch: Your word is capybara.
Leaf: Is that a word?
That’s a word, yes.
Panch: “…often exceeding four feet in length.”
Leaf: Awesome. What else can I ask?
You may ask for the word’s language of origin or to have that word used in a sentence.
Panch: “…swimming next to you may be a capybara.”
Leaf: Wow! That didn’t help at all!
Are you ready to spell the word Mr. Coneybear?
Rona: Miss Ostrovsky came in second in her school’s halloween contest.
Olive: I was road kill.
Boanthropy.
Barfee: Yes of course. Lugubrious, meaning extremely sad and droopy?
More or less, yes.
Spellers: Airplane?!
Chip: That’s so easy!
Only the speller at the microphone may repeat the word. Airplane.
Spellers: Ooh! Nationals! Top ten!
Coneybear: Beautiful country.
Miss Park your word is phylactery.
