A short spoken monologue (transcript excerpt) by Jacqueline Elliott emphasizing the moral duty to speak up when someone is doing something wrong. The speaker urges listeners to have the courage to confront harmful behaviors among friends ("check their asses"), rejects passivity and the 'friend zone' deference, and frames willingness to confront wrongdoing as a mark of trustworthiness.

If you see something that's wrong, you need to speak up. Because if you don't do it, you're allowing that other person to just grow a cancer. Like drinking a driver. You can go have a drink. If you see one of the girlfriends and you're out and that person gets it, you have to be freaking. Have the courage to check their asses. They're telling no, stand up for the right thing. And sometimes I think we're so much in the friend zone that we don't have the courage to do that. See, I trust people more that can do that than people that can't. And if I've ever had a problem with any of you guys in the room, it's been because of that. Because I feel like you're not standing up to do the right thing.
