Daria's Debates: The Video Essay.
Daria (talking to Jane): "Hi, Jane. You ready discuss ideas for our English project?"
Jane (talking to Daria): "For our English class project, I was thinking of producing a video short titled 'Why Life at Lawndale High Sucks'. What do you think?"
Later in Daria's room...
Jane (mimicking Daria): "Hey Daria, watch this. I came up with a fake monologue for our video featuring you, the most engaging Morgendorffer. Here's how it goes -- Hi, I'm Daria. Here is why life at Lawndale High School sucks. Firstly, Lawndale is a town filled with idiotic snobs who don't have a clue about how the real-world works. Our pathetic excuse for a high school promotes the braindead jocks as glorified posterchildren for how to succeed in life, especially when their rich parents can just buy their grades for their moronic little crotch-spawn. For us Brains, our parents are too busy with work or pursuing their stupid hippy lifestyle to notice our academic achievements much, or us for that matter. Remember, it's not how hard you study your reading, your writing, your arithmetic...it's how hard you play football!"
"Meanwhile, the overachieving students are required to support an institution that is more invested in funding bomb-sniffing dogs to parade around the school campus and new goal posts for the boys' football team, all of whom have a zero IQ, instead of using taxpayer dollars to buy new and updated school textbooks. You can thank our corrupt principal, a one Miss Angela Lee, for that. Lawndale High is more like a prison than an institution of learning. The biggest reason why it's important to look forward to college is because college is anywhere but Lawndale High. Thank you very much and go to Hell."
Daria (talking to Jane): "All true, but your face is too expressive, you could never pass for me. Trying imitating Quinn now."
Later that evening in the Morgendorffer household...
Quinn (talking to Daria): "What do you think you're doing, trying to steal my look or something? Don't you have some hard-to-read book to study on that woman Phillipa Sophie or whatever."
Daria (talking to Quinn sarcastically): "Actually, Phillipa Sophie's name is Philosophy and I'm trying a new look because I want to look like the 'Most Engaging Morgendorffer' on my video essay for English class. My video essay with Jane is going to be titled 'The Orther Morgendorffer: The Story of Quinn's Long-Lost Sister Darcy Morgendorffer --The Most Engaging Member of the Morgendorffer Family and Her New Sense of Fashion Flair'".
Later in the Morgendorffer household...
Quinn (talking to Daria): " Daria, I just wanted you to know now that if you're going to make a humiliating video essay about yourself for Mr. O'Neill's class, then I guess I have to make one too. Of course, it's going to be about you and I'm calling it, 'Thank God She's So Not My Sister: The Story of The Morgendorffer Family's Weird Live-In Maid -- The Embarrassment of the Morgendorffer Family Hired All the Way from Paris, France, and Why They Fired Her'."
