Movie quotes

  • (..) in my life. Principal Shepherd?! What are you doing here? Chris, I fat-shamed you, and I believe I owe you a weaselly political apology. So, if you took offense to anything I said, I certainly regret that you did that. At this point, I consider the matter closed. Thank you so much, Principal Shepherd.
