--->'''Chris''': When I was three years old, I balanced my father's checkbook. They sent me to school and fired their accountant. My father was so intimidated, he stopped speaking to me. My teachers disliked me because I was smarter than they were. My classmates hated me because I blew the bell curve. Sound familiar? My mother dressed me in white shirts, hush puppies and a briefcase, guaranteeing that no girl would ever talk to me.

Added DiffLines:
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite the prickly, standoffish demeanor he maintains for most of the movie, Kent most certainly ''doesn't'' share Dr. Hathaway's distaste for popcorn, and when the climactic "popcorn eruption" occurs he seems to be enjoying himself as much as the other students.
