A scene from Accepted 2006
Bartleby

Uh, Dean Lewis why don't you tell them a little bit about the philosophy here at south Harmon?

Ben

Look, we throw a lot of fancy words in front of these kids in order to attract them to going to school in the belief that they're gonna have a better life, and we know that all were doing is breeding a whole new generation of buyers and sellers, BUYERS AND SELLERS! Pimps and whores, PIMPS AND WHORES! and indoctrinating them into a life long hell of debt and indecision!

Jack Gaines

I... I, I just don't understand...

Ben

DO I HAVE TO SPOON FEED IT TO YA? look, there's only one reason that kids want to go to school...

Bartleby

[quietly]

Holy shit...

Jack Gaines

[after long pause]

... Which is?

Ben

...To get a good job... To get a good job, with a great starting salary.

Jack Gaines

[long pause]

I couldn't agree more.

Diane Gaines

It is so refreshing to have somebody approach education so rationally!

Ben

****in' A!
