Scholarships and Responsibility in Education
Mr. Richardson:
I don't have much time, so I'll be frank. You've read the letter?
John Milton:
Yes, sir.
Richardson: [[Spud 2: The Madness Continues|last year]
I'm aware of the unsavory incidents at this house ], and I shall not be falling into the same traps. A school scholarship is a gift, Milton, not an entitlement.
Milton:
Yes, sir. Um... I was the lead in school play, sir.
Richardson: [[Spud (film)|two years ago]
That was nearly ]. Since then, your academic record has been uninspiring, your sporting prowess has been underwhelming, and your general attitude in behavior has been appalling!
Milton:
Sir, look, I just want you to understand that if I... if I drop out of school, I might have to join the army.
Richardson:
I doubt that, Milton. The military has certain physical requirements, and being over 100 pounds is surely one of them! I do concede that your future would be uncertain.
Milton:
But sir, how do I win back my scholarship?
Richardson:
Prove to me that you're someone worth investing in. Achieve. Bring glory to the school and to the house.
Milton:
I'll try my best, sir.
Richardson:
You could, of course, become a house prefect. A leadership in position next year would ensure your scholarship.
Milton:
And how do I become a house prefect, sir?
Richardson:
By proving to me that you're superior to your peers.
