Mista, I'd like to give a shout-out to a line from "Bleeding Gums."
A little background first: Duchesne Academy (Omaha, NE) algebra teacher Barbara Mikolajczyk had formed the first jazz band in the history of that all-girls' high school...despite the reluctance of the academy's head of school, Mary Ann Kiefer, to support it.
Duchesne's jazz band just got through playing at the downtown hotel where the school holds its annual "Conge" celebration. Because the band played without Mary Ann's say-so, and because the school's algebra test scores dipped 2% from the previous school year, Mary Ann vowed to shut the band down if it didn't do well at the upcoming Nebraska Jazz Band Festival...and vowed to fire Barbara.
Barbara didn't mind the 2% drop...but Mary Ann did:
"Just two percent? That's the difference between owning a fast-food chain and being the one behind the counter asking: 'Do you want fries with that?'"

A man lies on the floor, he has been shot. He looks up at the person that shot him and says “This doesn’t end here”.
The shooter looks at him like he is an idiot “Of course it does” - BANG.

I don’t understand their psychology. They profess to make everything and everyone equal, and yet they effectively enforce a legalised protection racket on virtually everyone attending the institution, despite the lack of evidence to support their beliefs.

NOIR line. “I’m sick of waiting and wanting, for life to happen to me. To us. The kings of the Boulevard. And what do we do? Eat designer food and turn it into shit.” (Bang of pistol fire.).
Two young MBA types pass by the newly hired receptionist. One says to the other; 'Boy she looks hot and tough'. The other replies 'Yeah she looks like she's got answers to questions I would not dare to ask'.
