Sarah: Honey, I'm having second thoughts about Hoover Elementary. Do you know the principal called me and asked whether Jazmine was black and if you were a professional athlete? Tom: Really?

Sarah: (sigh) Honey, you rode the pine over ten years ago on Harvard's basketball team. Nobody remembers your name! Tom: Hey! I could have gone pro if it wasn't for that toe injury!
