And she takes me into her office and she's like, look, you need to go to college.

You're gifted.

You can go to college.

You should go to college.

If you don't go to college, you are going to work for people who are dumber than you the rest of your life.

Sounds like a pretty good thing.

It sounds like you can get away with a lot of shit.
