It's time for the students to put on a big display for the upcoming cultural festival, and they're all complaining about how skimpy their class is. The narrator points out that at their age, they can't really be cultured, and if they try, they'll never be as cultured as they should be. He argues that it's a bad idea to criticize culture, because the people of Japan have a right to maintain "the minimum standards" of "wholesome and cultured living" in their constitution. He says that if the constitution guarantees this, then he'll be able to participate in this festival. The students agree to a rehearsal, and the narrator argues that they should put on more of a "minimum cultural performance" than they've ever done before. He points to the fact that the script is so dumbed down that it would be too high for a festival performance, and he says that he's looking forward to the festival, so they should just go ahead and perform. He's not sure if they should do a comedy or a musical, but he'd rather do a "cultural character" performance than a "cultured art" performance. He doesn't understand how they could possibly put on such a low-class performance, since they'd have to say "nocchi desssu" or "cultural arts" or even "cultural rap music" instead of "cultural poetry" .
