He's in favor of school vouchers, Dad.
No, Mallory. He's really not.
Yes, he is.
No, he's not.
I read the position paper.
It's opposition prep.
Opposition prep?
When we're gearing up for a debate, we have the smart guys take the other side.
[to Sam] You stood there and argued with me.

Mallory, education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. Schools should be palaces.
