  • Any teacher has ever asked me to do anything

  • Outside of school.

  • No way.

  • It's, it's true.

  • In... Six years.

  • Well, you know,

  • I think it might just be one of those things

  • Where people are a little intimidated.

  • Intimidated?

  • They hate me.

  • No. They don't.

  • Yes, they do.

  • They sure do. I can see.

  • I wasn't always like this, you know.

  • I wasn't always wound this tight.

  • There was a time when I was fun.

  • I was funny.

  • I was,

  • But you can't be funny

  • And be the... The principal of a prep school.

  • No. You cannot,

  • Because when it comes to their kids,

  • These parents... They have no sense of humor.

  • No. And, and if, anything goes wrong,

  • It's my head. All right?

  • It's my head in the smasher.

  • These parents will come down on me like a nuclear bomb.

  • I can't make a mistake.

  • I gotta be perfect,

  • And that pressure

  • Has turned me into one thing that I never wanted to be...

  • ( mouthing words )

  • No. You're not.

  • Yes, I am.

  • I am a big one.

  • Well, I don't think so.
