Draw evidence from the text to explain how Roy feels about the “celebrities” and adults who are gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony.
From the text:
Roy uses sarcasm to note his opinion of celebrity.
"I can't tell you how proud and delighted we are to make Coconut Cove the home of our 469th family-style restaurant," Mr. Muckle said. "Mr. Mayor, Councilman Grandy, all of you terrific folks who've come out on this gorgeous Florida day... I'm here to promise you that Mother Paula will be a good citizen, a good friend, and a good neighbor to everybody!"
"Unless you're an owl", Paul said.

Gold-painted shovels were handed out, and on Mr. Muckle's signal all the dignitaries smiled, leaned over, and dug up a scoopful of sand. On cue, a smattering of city employees in the crowd cheered and applauded.
It was the most bogus thing Roy had ever seen. He couldn't believe anyone would put it on TV or in a newspaper.

Roy found himself raising his right arm. "I did, Mother Paula," he called out. "If you hurt a single one of our owls, I'm not eating any more of your stupid pancakes."
