William Hundert:
I'm a teacher, Sedgewick. And I failed you - as a teacher. But I will give you one last lecture, if I may. All of us, at some point, are forced to look at ourselves in the mirror, and see who we really are. And when that day comes for you, Sedgewick, you will be confronted with a life lived without virtue, without principle. And for that I pity you. End of lesson. Older Sedgewick Bell:
Well, can I say, Mr. Hundert, who gives a shit? Honestly. Who out there gives a shit? About your principles and your virtues? I mean, look at you. What do you have to show for yourself? I live in the real world where people do what they need to do to get what they want. And if it's lying and it's cheating, so be it. So I'm gonna go out there and I'm going to win that election, Mr. Hundert. And you'll see me everywhere. And I'll worry about my contributions later. [toilet flushes. Sedgwick turns around not realizing someone was in the men's room listening. Robert comes out of the stall and leaves] Older Sedgewick Bell:
