"this meeting could've been an e-mail"?
Yeah, that meme's a few years old.
Exactly.
That's... And that's why it's timeless.

I know you did something shady to become class president.
And I'm gonna figure it out.
Well, why don't I save you the trouble, Denise?
I did it.

I vandalized my own locker to make it look like a girl
had a horny crush on me.
And people accidentally mistook that for a hate crime
and thus elected me president.
You don't think I'm gonna go to the administration about this?
Who are you gonna go to? Charles?

some crazy hurtful stuff on that recording.

Mmmm, that I'm really sorry and I learned my lesson

Come on, Denise!
You really think the school board
is gonna let us keep this money if they find out
- Chad fudged the whole thing? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Plus, I'd have to fill out tons of paperwork.
It's, like, honestly probably double-digit numbers of forms.
This is insane.
He lied to win the election!
Is that what happened, Chad?
I didn't totally lie so much as I went along with the lie.
See? There you go.
He went along with the lie.
It's barely anything.
So he's just gonna get away with this scot-free?
It sounds like it, yeah.
Another way to look at this, Denise,
is the school has been gifted $10,000,
and no one got hurt.
I did!
I'm supposed to be president.
He doesn't even care about the school. I do!
Ohh, my God, if you care about the school so much,
then why don't you let us keep the money for the school?
Damn, son.
