Victor Pearson quotes from Strange Days at Blake Holsey High

Victor Pearson

I like you, young man. You remind me of myself when I was your age. Very direct. Very assertive. Very fired.

Victor Pearson

[hearing noises from Josie and Professor Z in the other room] Sounds like we may have rats. Large ones.

[to a mirror] I've had it with Blake Holsey High. Everything isn't all right here. I'm tired of disappearing professors and I'm tired of covering for you, Mr. Pearson. I am an educator and I had forgotten that.

Victor Pearson

Practising your resignation speech?

I wanted to discuss Vaughn's progress.

Victor Pearson

Very well. He is progressing, isn't he?

Yes and no.

Victor Pearson

Well, which is it?

Both. Kind of.

Where did I get my degree? That's a good question... do you have any others?

... What did you say?

Pen!

Victor Pearson

Yes, the University of Pennsylvania, my alma mater as well.

Yeah, that's where I went. I just remembered, I graduated magna cum laud. Go, Quakers!

Victor Pearson

... Yes, go, Quakers.

Victor Pearson

Congratulations, Professor, and Professor... Zachary, we'll be keeping an eye on you.

Yes... Go, Quakers!

Victor Pearson

Go, Quakers.

Victor Pearson

I would like a briefing on Professor Zachery's experiments, the one filling the school with invertebrates.

Now-

Victor Pearson

He prattled on about phylogeny and students' educations, but I'm sure I don't need to remind you that unwanted attention of any kind would far outweigh whatever benefits this... experiment might yield! Am I clear?

... as crystal. I'll see to it myself.

Victor Pearson

Vaughn, you, uh, didn't embarrass me. Well done.

Vaughn

Thanks, Dad!

Vaughn

[to Lucas and Josie] Thanks, it's a little harder in a higher weight-class, and dieting to stay low kind of took the fun out of it, so I decided to push myself the old fashion way and it paid off. Hold on, okay?

Victor Pearson

Congratulations. What got you back on your game.

Vaughn

Well, I decided to win for me, not for you.

Victor

Words I've always lived by.

I don't have the answers, it seems like the only one who does is Josie Trent.

Lucas

(glancing at Victor) I think I speak for all or both of us when I say, huh?

I'm not Josie Trent, at least not the one you know any way.

Victor

What do you mean you're not Josie Trent!?

Lucas

You're Josie's clone! The one that was created accidentally freshman year.

Victor

The Trent girl has a clone?

Lucas

It's a long story.

Victor

So bore me!
