Outside of school.

No way.

It's, it's true.

In... Six years.

Well, you know,

I think it might just be one of those things

Where people are a little intimidated.

Intimidated?

They hate me.

No. They don't.

Yes, they do.

They sure do. I can see.

I wasn't always like this, you know.

I wasn't always wound this tight.

There was a time when I was fun.

I was funny.

I was,

But you can't be funny

And be the... The principal of a prep school.

No. You cannot,

Because when it comes to their kids,

These parents... They have no sense of humor.

No. And, and if, anything goes wrong,

It's my head. All right?

It's my head in the smasher.

These parents will come down on me like a nuclear bomb.

I can't make a mistake.

I gotta be perfect,

And that pressure

Has turned me into one thing that I never wanted to be...

( mouthing words )

No. You're not.

Yes, I am.

I am a big one.

Well, I don't think so.
