El Capitano : Hey, kid, uh, you got any last requests?

El Capitano : You, too? Boy, I wish I'd gone to college.
Justin Cammy : Do you feel inferior because of it?
El Capitano : Maybe a bit.

Barth Baggs : Dyah, I heard that!

Principal : Oh, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. Why are you studying all the time?
Lisa Ruddy : So I can keep my grades up. I wanna get to college.

I mean, those dumb dorms, the filthy cafeteria - and, young lady, you are liable to wind up with a moonie for a roommate who stays up till three in the morning listening to Def Leopard - the stupid initiation rights, and those frat parties? Dumb, dumb, dumb. AND, those weird profs. Hm-hm-hm. And THEN, the biggest laugh of all: when you get out - no jobs. HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Lisa Ruddy : [to camera as the principal continues to gaffaw] This must be the opposites. They never tell you this side of it.
