Armin, Edna and others in “The Principal and the Pauper”

[In Armin's apartment, the ex-principal lies on his bed while his visitors stand around him trying to convince him to come home. Armin refuses as they got the real Seymour Skinner.]

AArmin

My mind is made up! I'm not coming back and that's final!

Oh, Seymour.

AArmin

And I'm not Seymour, my name is Armin! This is Armin's apartment, Armin's liquor, Armin's copy of "Swank", Armin's frozen peas.

Can I see your copy of "Swank", Armin?

AArmin

Yes, you can. This is Armin's life, and maybe it's not perfect, but at least I'm back where I belong. I was born a no-goodnik, and I'll die a no-goodnik.

Seymour! I didn't bring you up to use language like that!

AArmin

Well, you didn't bring me up at all!

To hell I didn't! I've been taking care of you for 26 years! I'm the only mother you've ever known!

AArmin

But you have your real son!

You are my real son! You've been my son longer than he has, and he doesn't need me, and I don't need him! Now you march yourself downstairs and get in that car!

AArmin

Yes, Mother.

And the rest of you, too!

AAll

Yes, Mrs. Skinner.
