    P1 What is the modifier for Valley? How come Milford has never had them on their schedule?

    P2 Is he putting down his mother for being a real appraiser? Send this guy to the local coffee shop (forgot the name). He won’t get by the initial interview when he has to explain that he was expelled from school for carrying a butter knife-this fact will haunt him for the rest of his life.

    P3 GilPa… its a little late in the game for you to try and help out, all you did was standby and watch him get the academic death sentence.

    P1, Yay, I finally got one right!

    P2, Why don’t you try being an exterminator and get rid of those ants?

    P3, I don’t make shower housecalls for just anyone, Mr. Mayor. This perfectly explains the look of horror on The Mayor’s face at the sight of Gil and his trusty loofah.

    When the school board expels a student, even on a crime with a stupid mandatory, zero-tolerance consequence, there is still a hearing. All of this would have been settled at the hearing. He’d have only had two choices, home school or alternative school. It’s not reform school.

    P1.5, Mr. Knappe: “They can teach you how to make a real shiv out of a butter knife.”

    P2.5, Mike: “It’s not like I wouldn’t be a barista in four months anyway, with my academic record.”

    Gil saves the day!

    Parents must have called him in to tell the Mayor that kids in reform school can still play sports in the district.

    P2 – I guess Mike really is the politician type. In public he’s smiling to everyone, shaking hands, complementing, super friendly. But behind closed doors he’s a real a-hole.

    P3 – Is this the first case of EHS (Exploding Head Syndrome)? In color, it’s yellow, so it almost looks like a halo.

    And speaking of halo, are you ready to say halo to today’s Mopped Up Thorp?

    Call him Gil. He’s not your coach anymore.

    Since Mike is thinking about quitting school and getting a job, Gil is stoppin’ by to tell Mike about the purse he could win in a bare knuckle winner-take-all fight in an old warehouse on the seedy side of town

    P2- Mrs. Knappe looks emotionally beat down after being berated by her “good boy.” Help me out on this t-car and CJ. Mrs. Lark’s long lost sister looks like she’s ready to crawl into a wine vat.

    P 1.5: “…well, they had a different, less flattering term for those kids back when I was in school, but basically, yes….reform school…”
