I didn’t want to be President anyway.

Pedro, listen to your heart, that’s what I do.

I’ll just tell them that I have nothing to say.

Pedro walks on to the stage and up to the podium.

Pedro

Hello, I don’t have much to say. But I think it would be good to bring some holy santos to the high school, to guard the hallway, and bring us good luck. (Mumbles in Spanish). We have a great Summer lined up, and I would like to see more of that. If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true. Thank you.

Fault List

Clip	Reason For Not Using
Headmaster	The actor was smiling too much during the take. The room created a lot of echo so I had to wait for complete silence before starting to film another clip.
Dance #2	The actor slipped over during the dance, it was hard to still use the clip even with the clip cut because the timing with the song lost sync.
