Dean Leslie Etwood:
What makes you think you can actually teach? And please, don't tell me it's because you wrote a popular novel.

Nick Garrett:
No! No. But... the journey. Getting there. The journey that those students wish to embark upon. I can share my experience.

Dean Leslie Etwood:
Then let's talk about that journey.

Nick Garrett:
Let's talk about it.

Dean Leslie Etwood:
The, ahm, epic struggle of a coward who left his home, wrote a book about the friends and family that he abandoned for reasons unknown and now is afraid to face his own life. A teacher by nature is a leader and a leader is someone who embraces their life. Not one who runs away from it. In all the world Mr. Garrett, my students have nothing to learn from you.
