Pearl Madison:
This is bullshit, Elden. This is just red-tape bullshit and you know it.

Elden:
No, Madison, this is about you running your own program. You asked me about this kid, I told you no. Then you, in effect, say: "F*** you, I do whatever I want. Elden Gilmore be damned."

Pearl Madison:
Look, this is about a kid who was so screwed up...

Elden:
No, this is about a book. And you wanna talk about red-tape bullshit? Let's talk about how fast I could have you fired for turning your classroom over to non-certified personnel while you went off to play your '20/20' bit with this kid. Man, I am pulling you from S.H.

Pearl Madison:
Wait a minute...

Elden:
No, after lunch, report to A wing. You're taking over Bellsey's class.
