In many ways, September feels like the busiest time of the year: The kids go back to school, work piles up after the summer's dog days, and Thanksgiving is suddenly upon us.
I have a slightly bourgeois upbringing, I guess. My parents paid for me to go to school, which is nice, but I haven't gotten a dime since then. I have no trust fund. I wish I did.

Lisa: She likes him Samuel: Hm? Lisa: Creasy, Pita likes him. Samuel: Pita loves school. She'd like Count Dracula if he took her back there.
Christian Szell: [to Babe] I envy you your school days. Enjoy them fully. It's the last time in your life no one expects anything of you.
Skip: I don't know if I ever told you this before, but I think you're just about the keenest girl in the whole school! Jennifer: Oh, really Skip? The keenest?
