It’s a pity you High-Schoolers
DIE so easily -
or I might have a sense of Satisfaction, now….
The Jock :
But I didn't dump my purse out
on The Couch and invite people
into my problems. Did I?
So what's wrong?
What is it?
Is it bad?
Real bad?
Parents?
Yeah.
What did they do to you?
They ignore me.
The Vice :
What did you want to be
when you were young?
The Great God Janus :
When I was a kid,
I wanted to be John Lennon.
The Vice :
Carl, don't be a goof.
I'm trying to make a serious point here.
Carl, I've been teaching for 22 years.
And each year, these kids
get more and more arrogant.
The Great God Janus :
Aw, bullshit, man. Come on, Vern.
The kids haven't changed. You have.
You took a teaching position
because you thought it'd be fun, right?
Thought you could have summer vacations off.
And then you found out it was actually work.
That really bummed you out.
The Great God Janus :
These kids turned on me.
They think I'm a big fucking joke.
The Great God Janus :
Come off it.
Listen, Vern, if you were 16,
what would you think of you?
The Vice :
Hey, Carl, you think I give one rat's ass
what these kids think of me?
The Great God Janus :
Yes, I do.
You think about this.
When you get old, these kids -
The Vice :
When I get old, they're gonna
be running the country.
Now, this is the thought that wakes me up
in the middle of the night -
That when I get older, these kids
are gonna Take Care of Me.
The Great God Janus :
I wouldn't count on it.
“One of the saddest days of my life was when
My Mother told me
‘Superman did not exist’.
I was like,
“What do you mean he's not real…?!?”
And she thought I was crying
because it's like
‘Santa Claus is not real’
and I was actually crying because
There was no-one coming
with enough Power
to Save Us.”
