  Joe Clark : I distinctly said, "No one move, during the singing of the school song", Now if you can't understand that, find yourself another place to work.

  Mr. Darnell : [yells]  I was picking up a piece of paper!

  Joe Clark : Then you contradicted me in front of my students.

  Mr. Darnell : They're my students, too!

  Joe Clark : THEY ARE MY STUDENTS, MR. DARNELL!

  Mr. Darnell : Just what are you tryin' to prove? I'm workin my ass off of you, took the demotion and I'm doin' my job! You just getting your rocks off by treating me like trash!

  Joe Clark : No sir, that's what you're picking up.

  Mr. Darnell : [slamming the folders onto Clark's desk; screaming]  Goddamn it! YOU GIVE ME THE GODDDAMN RESPECT YOU WOULD DAMN WELL WANT YOURSELF, OR I WILL KICK YOUR BLACK ASS!

  Joe Clark : You are suspended sir, as of RIGHT NOW! GET OUT!
