Movie quotes

  • (..) Perhaps you haven't always been an active part of this community. They do a fall musical and a spring play, and from what I hear it's a real blast. What I'd really like is to be on Math Olympiad. But math isn't something that you're terribly strong in. That we know of, yet. Here you go. -Thanks. (..)
