Akeelah and the Bee evaluation action
-
[last lines]
Akeelah: You know that feeling where everything feels right? Where you don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, where you feel safe and know you're doing the best you can? There's a word for that, it's called love. L-O-V-E.

Mr. Welch: So whoever wins the school bee today gets to represent Crenshaw at the district bee next month.
Akeelah: Why would anybody want to represent a school where they can't even put doors on the toilet stalls?
[coughing]
Mr. Welch: Akeelah, if we can't show students can perform, we're not going to have money for books, let alone bathroom doors.
[pause]
Mr. Welch: Now, I want you to do the bee today, okay?
Akeelah: So everyone can call me a freak and a brainiac? No, I ain't down for no spelling bee.
Mr. Welch: Well, maybe you'd be down for spending the rest of the semester in detention for all your absences?
