Rat: And that's our plan for winning today against Riebli Elementary...any questions? Carla: Yes, coach. I have a question. Rat: What is it, Carla? Carla: Well, not to get too metaphysical, but sometimes I think all humanity is one. You know, one energy, one love. Rat: What are you talking about, Carla? Carla: Well, it got me to thinking...every time we win, someone else has to lose. And that makes that other person sad. Rat: So? Carla: So if you believe in the brotherhood of humanity, that sadness I cause to my brother by winning is actually my own. Rat: And what does that have to do with playing this game? Girls: FORFEIT! FORFEIT! FORFEIT! Rat: Maybe next time I won't ask for questions. Ref: Tweet! Metaphysical forfeit.
