4 quotesThe Nature of Places and Their Purpose
Billy Peltzer
Sir, I'm... I'm sorry about the building.
Daniel Clamp
I'm not.
Kate Peltzer
You're not?
Daniel Clamp
For one thing, we're insured for the damages. For another, maybe it wasn't a place for people anyway. It was a place for things. You make a place for things, things come.

Confrontation Over Integrity in School Ethics
Brother Leon
Bailey.
Bailey
Yes?
Brother Leon
You still haven't answered my question, Bailey. Well?
Bailey
I don't cheat, Brother Leon.
Brother Leon
Then how do you account for all those A's, Bailey?
Bailey
I don't know.
Brother Leon
Are you perfect, Bailey? All those A's, that implies perfection. Only God is perfect, Bailey. Do you compare yourself to God? If God is perfect, and you are perfect, Bailey, doesn't that suggest something to you, Bailey? The other alternative is that you're not perfect, Bailey. And of course you're not. I know you wouldn't be so blasphemous as to compare yourself to God. Would you, Bailey?
[Leon gets up from his desk and strides over to where Bailey is standing in front of the class.]
Bailey
No, Brother Leon.
[terrified]
Brother Leon
Which leaves us with only one conclusion! You cheat! You're a cheat, Bailey. And a liar. Wait a minute. Wait a minute! Nobody moves. You poor fools. You idiots. Do you know who is the best man here? The bravest of them all? It's Gregory Bailey, that's who. He denied cheating. He stood up to my accusations. Stood his ground. But you, gentlemen, you sat there and enjoyed yourselves. And those of you who didn't enjoy yourselves, you allowed it to happen! You turned this classroom into Nazi Germany for a few moments! You did well, Bailey. I'm proud of you. You passed the biggest test of all: you were true to yourself. Of course you don't cheat. Your classmates out there, they're the cheaters. They cheated you. They doubted you. I never did. Dismissed.
[Outside in the hallway the bell rings as class ends; the students start getting up to leave.; ''Turns and sets his pointer stick on Bailey's head, then each of his shoulders.''; Leon looks out at the class, shaking his head in contempt.]

Blame and Responsibility in Sales Dynamics
Brother Leon
I thought you had influence, Archie. You and your "friends".
Archie
It's not my sale, Brother Leon.
Brother Leon
You played games with that freshman Renault, and now the game has backfired. You got yourself involved.
Archie
Wait a minute. Last year you barely sold all the chocolates, and that was half as many at half the price. The kids are tired of selling. That's why your sale is falling apart; not my games.
Brother Leon
Archie, I don't care if it's Renault, or your precious organization, or the state of the economy! I want the chocolates sold!
Archie
Any ideas how?
Brother Leon
Perhaps you should begin with Renault. He's become some kind of symbol. I think he should be made to say yes, instead of no. And The Vigils- yes, I'm saying the name aloud- The Vigils must throw their full weight behind the sale.
Archie
That's quite an order, Brother.
Brother Leon
You've picked the right word, Archie. "Order". It is an order.
Archie
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Brother Leon
I'll make it crystal clear, Archibald. If the sale goes down the drain, you and The Vigils go down the drain. We all go down the drain together!
