Transcript:
Robert was sick when he took the test that determined whether he could take 7th grade french. (Woman: There's no grade pressure here- just do your best.) Because he didn't make it into French, he wasn't chosen for college-track classes in high school. (Robert: I thought this wasn't supposed to count.) Because he didn't take the right courses, he didn't get accepted into a good college. (Robert: Northwest County Community College! Rock on!) Beause he attended a lame college, he could only land a lame job. (Man: We do have an entry level position in our polymer eradication division at sub-minimalism training case.) Because his job sucked, he drank a lot. (Robert: Come on feel da noise girls, rock yer boys) Because he was soursed, he got his girlfriend pregnant. (Woman: It's mauve.) (Robert: It that bad?) Because he was a father, he ran himself ragged working three jobs. (Robert: Two dime bags right. Got it.) Because he was always ill, so was his daughter. (Don't worry this merely to determine if you qualify to take french.)
