Latin in the musical Cry Baby is very prevalent and very abundant. Specifically in the jail scene when they all sing together, "carpe diem, non encarteratem". This, in context is referring to the prisoners in jail who are about to escape and are demanding that they are not locked up. The definition of this term that the prisoners say is "Seize the day, not stay incarcerated!" The reason that I knew this was because we went over all of the Latin mottos. I felt very special and elite when I realized what that meant for the first time.
