The Principal1987
Jake Phillips:
["Screwdriver" Phillips barges into the office of a napping "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" Latimer]... You're ever-vigilant, I see.
Rick Latimer:
Where I come from, we knock.
Jake Phillips:
Where *I* come from, we pick locks. With your permission, I'll replace your old rusty one with a new deadbolt. The kind only .357 Magnums can open up.
Rick Latimer:
Thanks, Jake; that's real encouraging. I feel much better now.
Jake Phillips:
Do you mind if I ask you a question I ask all imported principals? [without waiting for an answer]... What is a fine, white-bread boy like you doing in a place like this?
Rick Latimer:
Keeping my warm ass planted in this chair.
Jake Phillips:
[indicates the "Classified Ads" which Latimer has been going through] 'Till something better comes along, right?... I don't know why I thought it should've been any different.
