Angela Anaconda

Speak No Evil (3x26)

: 03, 2001

To show her solidarity with local broccoli farmers, Josephine has taken a vow of silence to protest the ongoing drought. Sensing that Angela is unable to answer a question in class, Gina blurts out that Angela is also taking a vow of silence. Angela, according to Gina, is ceasing to speak in order to protest poor teacher wages. Mrs. Brinks is thrilled. Angela is more then willing to go along with this deception; it will get her out of doing schoolwork. Keeping quiet is more difficult then it seems. Not being able to speak in school means she's not able to discuss her favorite television shows, unable to accept offers of delicious desserts, unable to participate in show and tell. Angela has to find someone to talk to. Luckily, Josephine Praline has a make shift confessional set up at school. The kids can tell her anything and she's promised to not repeat a thing. So Angela confesses. Josephine can't let Angela's deception go unpunished but at the same time she can't go back on her secrecy promise. However, it has recently rained, and Josephine can think of many ways to use her voice that may get Angela talking.
