William Henry Devereaux, Jr.: Look, nothing about the Jeffrey Epstein Technical Careers Center looks good.
Dickie Pope: You're referring to the name.
William Henry Devereaux, Jr.: People are familiar with the many instances in which young women were attacked by a technical careers center.
Dickie Pope: Different Jeffrey Epstein. This one made two billion on air fryers. We're adding a "Q".
William Henry Devereaux, Jr.: Queer fryers?
Dickie Pope: It will be the Jeffrey Q. Epstein Center.
William Henry Devereaux, Jr.: What's his middle name?
Dickie Pope: He doesn't have one. He's not thrilled with the "Q". The legislature is cutting our budget by 23%. Please make a list so we are prepared.
William Henry Devereaux, Jr.: I've gotten this far without making a list. If I were to start now, I'd feel like a quitter.
Dickie Pope: No.
William Henry Devereaux, Jr.: Uh, look, Dickie, um... you're new around here. Every year, those geniuses in Harrisburg, they threaten cuts, and every year, they don't, because, as we've established, they don't like not looking good.
Dickie Pope: This year is different.
William Henry Devereaux, Jr.: Because of how time works?
Dickie Pope: They likely will give us what we ask for... but I'm not asking for it. All my predecessors have begged year after year for more money. I'm not going to do that. I'm lobbying for less money. The school's too fat.
