Shorofsky One man is not an orchestra. Bruno Who needs orchestras? You can do it all with a keyboard, an amp and enough power. Shorofsky You going to play all by yourself? Bruno You don't need anybody else. Leroy I told you I done it and I forgot it. Mrs. Sherwood My hearing is fine. It's your homework that's missing. And these couple of pages I have are unintelligible. Leroy It's a secret language, all right? It ain't meant for whiteys to understand! Mrs. Sherwood This is no Mickey Mouse school. You're not getting off easy. Because you're talented, you'll work twice as hard. Now, I don't care how well you dance or how many colored tutus you have. If you don't give your academic subjects equal time, you're out. Leroy Bullshit!
