Sally: So, why don't you ever do your work?
George: There are so many more important things to think about, homework ends up seeming like an afterthought.
Sally: ADD?
George: No, they tried everything. Ritalin, Lexapro, tutors, therapy. Nothing worked. I'm the Teflon slacker. It's more like, we're living in a dying time, you know? I mean, you got global warming, wars, terrorism, tsunamis.
Sally: Okay...
George: We're definitely on the downhill side. So, what are we working towards? What's the point?
Sally: I thought I had fears, but they're pretty run-of-the-mill. Pain, death.
George: Not me. I fear life.

George: Right. Right, it's my shtick.

Principal Martinson: I see you made some new friends.
George: Not necessarily. Jury's still out.
Principal Martinson: I'm happy for you, George. I just . . . I just want you to be careful.
George: What's wrong with them?
Principal Martinson: Nothing. But they have an easier time of getting by than you do. You're not exactly hooking up with a study group.
