[Thornton extends his hand, Barbay refuses it and takes Martin aside]
David, I just want to get it on record that I am totally against this. I don't think that selling admission to an obviously unqualified student is either ethical or honorable. Dean Martin:

[glaring at Martin in dismay]
It's a simple matter of undermining the efforts of our best students, who are here as the result of hard work! Thornton Melon:

Hard work? Listen, Sherlock! While you were tucked away up here working on your ethics, I was out there busting my hump in the REAL world. And the reason guys like you got a place to teach is 'cause guys like me donate buildings. Dr. Phillip Barbay:
