SLOM Transcript (:60 second)

(Three teen girls in a school bathroom)
Girl: We were at the party and I walked by and saw people doing it so we decided to get in on it.

(All the girls laugh and giggle uncomfortably and say...) Yeah.

(Change scene, 2 girls sitting on bleachers outside of a school.)
Girl: I was new to the school and I walked into the girl's restroom and they were doing it so I just tried it.

Girl: Some people start slomming as a social thing. During lunch or whatever but I probably wouldn't do it by myself.

(Shot of a sink basin full of leeches. Girls are reaching their hands into the sink grabbing for individual leeches.)

(Change scene. Two boys in a school hallway)
Boy: SLOM stands for Sticking Leeches on Myself.

Interviewer: Leeches?
(The other boy sticks out his bottom lip to show a leech inside his mouth.)
Boy: Yeah, leeches.

(Change scene to principal and there are leeches in jars and water bottles and all over his desk)
Principal: I don't get it. I mean, I've had to confiscate all this. These kids they're determined. They'll go just about anywhere to find a leech.

(Principal running after kids, shouting) Hey! Hey! Don't you run from me!

(Switch to classroom setting)
Boy: I get it from friends. At lot times friends teach you how to do it. You hear people talking about slomming over the weekend.

(Picture of a leech in a hand)
Girl's voice: It's hard not to get into it.

Closing: What could you be convinced to do?
