    And they wonder why those of us in our twenties...

    refuse to work an 80-hour week...

    just so we can afford to buy their BMWs...

    why we aren't interested...

    in the counterculture that they invented...

    as if we did not see them disembowel their revolution...

    for a pair of running shoes.

    But the question remains...

    what are we going to do now?

    How can we repair all the damage we inherited?

    Fellow graduates, the answer is simple.

    The answer is...

    The answer is...

    I don't know.

    Good save, Lelaina.

  • Lelaina Pierce

    I'm not a valedictorian, but I play one on TV.

  • Troy Dyer

    We all know you slept your way to the podium.

    My favorite part about graduating now would be...

    dodging my student-loan officer for the rest of my life.

    He will be in cahoots...

    with the Columbia Record and Tape Company guy...

    who's been after my ass for years.

  • Lelaina Pierce

    Troy Dyer, I brought you back a souvenir.

  • Troy Dyer

    Ah...

  • Sammy Gray

    You know, you can still go back next year and graduate...

    still get your BFA.

  • Troy Dyer

    Oh, can I? And then I can hang this on my rearview mirror...

    to brag to all my good buddies back home that I graduated.

    Well, I through with the whole life drama.

  • Lelaina Pierce

    Well, I know this sounds cornball...

    but I'd like to somehow make a difference in people's lives.

  • Troy Dyer

    And I... I would like to buy them all a Coke.
