At ZEIP Old School. School bell ringing.

Schoolkids are coming to school carrying heavy trolley school bags. They are walking with their heads down. They look sleepy, tired and unmotivated. They are wearing AC/DC Angus Young's school uniforms. They sit down on the floor, cross legged. They are waiting for the teacher to come.

Act II, Scene 2: Miss ROTTENFLYER

VIDEO | OldSchool [pause]

Miss Rottenflyer’s first appearance.

Who’s Miss Rottenflyer? She is a diehard oldschool survivor.Teacher at ZEIP Old School since the beginning of time. Mean and strict. Bored and boring. Her teaching methods and habits make students hate school. She's a bitter woman who has no friends. Without any desire to live, without any hope. She always dresses in black. Vivid colours make her sick. She is scared of everything, even pets! She is wearing a retro wrist watch, big glasses and her hair in a bun. She is carrying a large wooden ruler in one hand and a overnight bag in the other. Her name is a reference to Fräulein Rottenmeier from Heidi (1881) by Johanna Spyri. Rottenflyer surname comes from the mixture of two words:

Rotten: spoiled, as from decay, putrid, evil or morally wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory, miserable...

Highflyer: a person who is or has the potential to be very successful, especially academically or in business.

Things in her overnight bag: → MemoNotas agenda + Toilet paper roll + Liquid hand soap Things on her desk: → Metal trash basket + Office bell + School Earth globe + Dossier Things in the dossier: → Document folder + Red envelope (Failed)

Miss Rottenflyer enters the classroom. Schoolkids stand up.

The schoolkids start to sing all together (all at once, in perfect synchronization) the lyrics to the tune of "The Addams Family Theme song".

SCHOOLKIDS: Good morning, dear teacher! Good morning! How are you? We are very glad to see you and say 'Hello' to you! tururu tururu… (Clapping hands) tururu tururu tururu (Clapping hands) Miss Rottenflyer waves the large wooden ruler as a baton (stick used by orchestra conductors).

Miss Rottenflyer rings the office bell on her desk. The schoolkids sit down on the floor, cross legged.

MISS ROTTENFLYER: Let's start with your presentations... Let me see! Miss Rottenflyer gets a MemoNotas agenda out of her overnight bag.

MISS ROTTENFLYER: Well… (Checking her MemoNotas agenda) Jennie Jolie, Jimmy, Julian and Jacy J. … You go first! Don't forget to speak loud and clear into the microphone, please.

Miss Rottenflyer rings the office bell on her desk. Jennie Jolie approaches the microphone to speak.

Jennie Jolie loves sucking up to her teachers, pretending to be what she is not (just posing). She pretends to be a wonk (spending all day studying) and a bookworm (fascinated by poetry books). She loves reading her bad poems in class. She is dressed in pink. She is wearing glasses (in vivid colour) and a pink bow in her hair. She is holding a pile of books and an apple. JENNIE JOLIE: Very good morning, Miss Rottenflyer. Yesterday I wrote a poem about you. I hope you like it. MISS ROTTENFLYER: Perfect choice! I'm all ears. (With a big smile on her face) JENNIE JOLIE: (Reading the poem out loud and slowly) Roses are red, the sky is blue.

JULIAN: All I need is just two minutes to prepare the set for my masterclass. MISS ROTTENFLYER: It’s O.K. Julian. Julian starts to prepare the set for his presentation: a wooden stool and a laptop on it. He connects the Bluetooth interactive whiteboard to his laptop.

Jimmy takes the stage running faster than Usain Bolt.

JIMMY: (Tightening the anus, squeezing his butt cheeks) The toilet paper has run out! Can I have some, please? MISS ROTTENFLYER: Sure!

Miss Rottenflyer gets a toilet paper roll out of her overnight bag.

JIMMY: Thank you! MISS ROTTENFLYER: You are welcome! Jimmy rushes (darts) in the direction of the toilet paper roll, he gets it and leaves the stage again (running faster than Usain Bolt).

(Ringing the bell twice) JULIAN: Oh my gosh! (Disappointed and frustrated) Julian takes his laptop and leaves his wooden stool in the front of the class. He sits down (shaking his head) on the floor again, cross legged.

Jacy Jezebel approaches the microphone to speak. Jacy Jezebel is a rebel soul with a Rolling Stones TShirt and a sexy black curly hair. Miss Rottenflyer's antagonist. Brave and courageous. Daydreamer. Her best friend is a huge yellow duck plush toy called Ducky Luke. JACY JEZEBEL: Hi there! Prepare to be dazzled! I've got something special to show you. Boys and girls, please welcome the one and only… Ducky Luke! MISS ROTTENFLYER: Who’s Ducky Luke? JACY JEZEBEL: My best friend! MISS ROTTENFLYER: Who? Jacy Jezebel opens her big green backpack.

AUDIO | Door knocking Sound Effect

Knockknock!

We hear someone knocking at the door. Two heads lean out of one door. They are Joe and Jerry. They are late for school... again. Joe and Jerry are brothers. Miss Rottenflyer call them J.J. brothers. Bad students, they are not interested in school. Good sons, they help their weary mother with the household chores. Their names (Joe and Jerry) are a reference to the main characters in the movie "Some Like It Hot" (1959) directed by Billy Wilder:

Joe, character played by Tony Curtis. Jerry, character played by Jack Lemmon.

JERRY: May we come in? (Leaning out of one door) MISS ROTTENFLYER: J.J. brothers, may you arrive on time?

As soon as they arrived in London, Joe and Jerry got a job as dishwashers (or something) at AceWish Gastro Bar, the worst seedy restaurant in London. Messy and greasy. Dirty and gross. It stinks and sucks! AceWish Gastro Bar is a reference to Auschwitz Birkenau, the concentration camp:

First name: M of Mao Tsetung. Middle name: J of Joseph Stalin. Last name: Pigler. It’s a pun (Pig) with Hitler, Adolf.

Mr. Pigler makes Joe and Jerry work overtime and doesn't pay them. They work for peanuts. Mr. Pigler is cruel and unkind: a real dictator (with a toothbrush moustache). He humiliates them all the time yelling and shouting into a megaphone. A nightmare come true. A dreadful experience.
