Pushed by headmaster Mr Welch ( Armstrong ) into entering the school 's first Spelling Bee , she wins it easily and is then offered the chance to work with Welch 's friend Dr Larabee ( Fishburne ) for the regional final . She cannot know that George 's tirade against Mrs. Welch is really a tirade against the world , against life itself , against God . This commitment was originally engendered at a Cold Spring Harbor Workshop in Murray , Kentucky , which Mrs. Welch attended in 1988 . I would direct this question to Mr. Welch to change a little bit . Mr. Welch .
