Transcript:
Marigold: Congratulations on winning the spelling bee! Phoebe: Thanks... But I feel weird about beating my best friend, school category. Marigold; who is your best friend overall? Phoebe: You, silly. Marigold: I have won the friendship bee! Phoebe: We can share my victory certificate.
In the original run of this story, the winning word was ‘Pyrrhic’—possibly axed this time around by editors for being too educational?—and when Marigold described the situation as ‘ironic,’ Phoebe replied that her mother says that Alanis Morissette ruined that word forever.
It’s all in the latest volume of the book. YOU BOUGHT A COPY.
