No patriotism. And no matriotism either. I certainly hope you'll address this shortcoming as Mayor, Chatsworth. That’s the trouble with this country. No patriotism. And no matriotism either.

I think first our staff will have to fill out applications, as it's important to make the government pay for this school, in order to maximize profits. I suspect we may have to grease a palm or two, but that's all part of the cost of doing business, and we'll surely find a way to bill the government for that in any case. This is poised to be a smashing new year indeed. Just smashing. It’s highly gratifying to see the interest our little academy has already created.

“New York, New York, it’s a company town,
The stocks are up and the salaries down.”
