Then one day while me and my grandmother were watching some old movie, it hit me. There was only one way I'd ever get what I wanted. I would have to become exactly like those people I saw getting kissed in the movies. I would have to become... a superstar!

Superstar! Amen.

The more I kept trying to become a superstar, the less they thought I was one. In fact, they had all these other names for me.

And forgive those who trespass against us. Please, God, convince my grandmother to let me be in the talent show so that I can get kissed, maybe by Sky Corrigan. Superstar!

Evian. Hey. I just wanted to say that I think you did a really good job up there tonight. You showed a lot of energy and enthusiasm, and I really like your choice of costume. But I just feel really bad for you, 'cause I guess you didn't know that you were competing against a... superstar!
