Lines by Harry Senate 1

Harry Senate

Anyone I suppose could contribute to a shelter or help the needy, but it takes a true American to dedicate himself to firearms. And you know what? We need people like you. Our country's getting a bad rep just because we kill each other. Well, that's manly... shooting people. United States, this is were men live. Australia -- all their stupid bragging about how tough they are in the outback. They get about... 15 gun homicides a year. What the hell is that? We get ten thousand. The Japanese are even more pathetic. In 1999, for kids between 15 and 19, they didn't have one handgun murder, not one! We had over five thousand! Our teenagers are tough, but it can't happen unless we get the guns out there into their hands. And for that we need committed, good people like all of you. Look at these idiots in Washington who think it's wrong for teenagers to have assault rifles. And the stupid Democrats think we should have ten-day waiting periods. What happens if you need to kill somebody today? Next thing the government will try to crack down on incest and we won't be able to breed future NRA members. I mean, we are talking about the toothless illiterates that make this country great. This is America. Get a gun!

Scenes with Harry Senate 17

DPDana Poole

I'm not getting expelled. Guber decided to give me a three-day suspension... Did you have anything to do with it?

Harry

Listen to me. Whether or not I did, here's how it's gonna be. You come to me ever again, ever, and try to extort me for anything, I don't care if it's even a hall pass, I'm going to Harper and Guber myself and I'm going to tell them everything. You got that?

DPDana Poole

Why would you do that?

Harry

Because I made a mistake with you, Dana, and I'm not going to make another one.

Harry Senate

The assignment was the read the book. Did anybody read the book?

[Silence.]

Harry Senate

Jamal, what do you want to be when you grow up?

JJamal

Not a teacher.

Harry Senate

You know, as a teacher, it would be inappropriate for me to tell you that you're a total screw-up. So what I want you to do is go home and ask your father, as a favor to me, to tell you that you're a total screw-up. I bet you can't wait to get out into the real world because you're all going to be rich. Companies are going to pay you a ton of money to sit there like lumps and do nothing all day. I want all my books back. Just leave them right here on my desk on your way out because, well, unlike a mind, a book is a terrible thing to waste.

JCJamal Crenshaw

These history books don't talk about Puerto Rico. Why is that?

Harry Senate

Cause we have you to talk about it.

I wanna go dancing. Women have sex with men to go dancing.

Harry Senate

Men go dancing with women to have sex and we've already done that. So why do we need to go dancing?

JJamaal

You know, Mr. Senate? I'm gonna tell you this because I feel like we have a relationship and we can be honest and stuff.

Harry

Okay.

JJamaal

You really shouldn't try to tell jokes. You're not funny.

Harry

All right.

Don't tell me what to do, Harry.

Harry

It's Mr. Senate to you.

No, I think it's Harry.

Harry

You're a student!

Which gives me an excuse for all the stuff I pull. What's yours... Harry?

Harry

Can we discuss your hair?

PPatron

Hey, I'm not ashamed to be bald for your information. I just wear a disguise when I come to these places.

Harry

Excellent. I bet in real life your teeth are straight too.
