Vernon : What did you want to be when you were young? Carl : When I was a kid, I wanted to be John Lennon. Vernon : Carl, don't be a goof. I'm trying to make a serious point here. I've been teaching, for twenty two years, and each year, these kids get more and more arrogant. Carl : Aw bullshit, man. Come on Vern, the kids haven't changed, you have! You took a teaching position, 'cause you thought it'd be fun, right? Thought you could have summer vacations off and then you found out it was actually work and that really bummed you out. Vernon : These kids turned on me. They think I'm a big ****in' joke. Carl : Come on...listen Vern, if you were sixteen, what would you think of you, huh? Vernon : Hey, Carl, you think I give one rat's ass what these kids think of me? Carl : Yes, I do. Vernon : You think about this...when you get old, these kids; when I get old, they're gonna be runnin' the country. Carl : Yeah? Vernon : Now this is the thought that wakes me up in the middle of the night; that when I get older, these kids are gonna take care of me. Carl : I wouldn't count on it.
