Sydney White

Sydney White

Sydney White is a 2007 modern retelling of the classic fairytale "Snow White," and a spiritual sequel to the 2004 modern retelling of A Cinderella Story. The film follows a beautiful, but down-to-earth college freshman who enjoys football, comic books and carpentry, as she pledges her late mother's once dignified sorority. But after running afoul of the sorority's mean-spirited leader and discovering that today's sisterhood is not what it used to be, Sydney finds her new home away from home with seven outcasts. With the help of her socially challenged new friends, Sydney will take on the reigning campus queen to attempt to transform the school's misguided social hierarchy.

Snoring noise is heard in seats

Professor Carleton:
The young man snoring there, perhaps?

Class laughs, Jeremy jostles Embele awake

Jeremy{whispering}:
Come on, get up!

Embele{drowsily}:
The Founding Fathers were afraid direct democracy would ruin the American people the same way it doomed the Roman Republic. Alexander Hamilton even advocated a monarchy. Embele yawns

Professor Carleton{surprised}:
Correct. We are trained to think the more power the people have the better.

Terrence is repeating to himself the professor's lecture verbatim

Professor Carleton & Terrence:

Terrence hoists his hand high

Professor Carleton:

Professor motions to Sydney

Sydney:
White. Well, I have to say that...uh...

Rachel Witchburn{interrupting}:
Most Americans do not concern themselves with the issues. There could be arguments for keeping things say a little more...elite? Maybe even certain kinds of oligarchies.

Sydney:
I have to say that that is underestimating the masses a bit, not to mention overestimating the elites. Aparthied was an oligarchy, and no one wants that to return.

Professor Carleton:
