You can pass those around.

Someone with no education

beyond high school...

...can expect to make about $20,000

a year in the current job market.

Now, that being said,

over the next four years...

...you could either

spend $80,000

...or I could make $80,000.

Are you saying

you don't want to go to college?

No. I'm saying that

it is fiscally irresponsible...

...for me to go

to college. You know?

Are you huffing?

Oh, God. No.

Are you high?

You're huffing grass?

No. I'm not huffing, Mom. I'm

not stoned. I'm completely fine.

In fact, I'm more clear and

level-headed than I've ever been.

Okay, cut the crap,

Bartleby.

Society has rules.

And the first rule is

you go to college. Mmm-hmm.

You want to have a happy and

successful life? You go to college.

If you want to be somebody,

you go to college.

If you want to fit in,

you go to college.

Well, you know what? Maybe

I didn't get into college.

What do you mean?

I didn't get accepted

anywhere.

Oh, Bartleby.

Damn it.

I knew he should've started

preparing for college in junior high...

...like his sister.

Now, she's got a shot.

I've got a shot.

She's got a shot.

Listen, guys.

There are plenty of successful

people who didn't go to college.

Albert Einstein,

you know.

Pocahontas never

went to college.

Corey Feldman

and Corey Haim.

They had a great run.

Both Lewis and Clark.

Suzanne Somers. Bono.

I need to go

check on the cobbler.

"Check the cobbler. "

Glug, glug, glug.

You know, I really don't care

what Sonny Bono did or didn't do.

You're goin' to college.

I told you so.

You were adopted.

Everyone...

I would like to propose

a toast to our graduates.

To the Class of 2006...

...may the next four years

of college...

...be the best years

of your life.

Hear, hear.

Mom.

Hey.

Hey, man, what's up?

What's up, B? How you doin'? What's up?

Dude, I swear,

if one more person tells me...

...how excited they are to go

to college, I'm gonna lose it.

Oh, man, I heard about the scholarship.

That's insane. You're one of

the best receivers in the state.

Uh, the best. And, uh,

no knee, no football, man.

That sucks.

What are you gonna do now?

I have no idea.

That makes two of us, pal.

It's fine, it's fine, it's

fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Hey, Rory. What's goin' on?

Oh, hey. What? Fine. Nothing.

Um, I... I didn't get into Yale.

I did... I didn't,

I didn't get into Yale.

I didn't...

I didn't get into Yale.

What? I can't

believe that!

Well, there's no room

for Rory at Yale.

Too many rich kids

with mediocre grades...

...and well-connected parents

this year, I guess.

No room for Rory,

who's been working...

...since first grade
