Confrontation Between Coach and Students
Coach Conrad
Come here, Randy. Come here. You been out with those losers all night?
Slater
Hey, Coach Conrad. Remember me? Second-period gym class?
Coach Conrad
That's the kind of people I was tellin you about. Trouble like this means nothing to those clowns. You're the one with something to lose.
Pink
Coach, you don't even know them. How can you even pretend to talk that way?
Coach Conrad
Okay, Randy. I shouldn't do this, but I'm willing to wipe the slate clean and forget about this. I want you to get your priorities straight, quit hanging out with those hoodlums and sign your commitment to your team. Have you done that yet?
Pink
I'm still thinkin about it.
Coach Conrad
No one's paying you to think about it, just do it, son!
Pink
You know, Coach, I gotta get goin'. Me and my "loser" friends, you know, we gotta get Aerosmith tickets. Top priority of the summer. Oh, and Coach, I forgot. I might play ball. But I will never sign that!

Tony
What do you mean a confession?

You know how for like the last year or so I've been talking about going to law school so I can become a ACLU lawyer to be in a position to help people getting fucked over and all that? Well I'm standing in line at the post office yesterday, you know, and I'm looking around and everybody's looking really pathetic. You know what I mean? Like people have just got drool sticking there, and like this guy's bending over and you can see the crack of his ass. It was all just, like, wife beaters, it was.. Anyway, I realize that I just don't want to do it. You know what I mean? It sounds good and all, but I just have to confront the fact that I really don't like the people I've been talking about helping out. You know what I'm saying? I don't like people period. I mean you guys are okay. I don't know. I'm just trying to be honest about being a misanthrope.
Tony
So you're not going to law school? What do you want to do?
