Dr. Keating:
Mr. Belvedere, these are astonishing grades!
Lynn Belvedere:
Yes, they are.
Dr. Keating:
98, 100, 100, 97, 99, 100.
Dr. Gibbs:
Yes, and I must admit that your IQ places you in a very high category.
Lynn Belvedere:
Naturally. I am a genius.
Dr. Keating:
Yes, Mr. Belvedere, quite so.
Dr. Gibbs:
Yes, it is that very fact which compels me to suspect your motive in joining us here.
Dr. Keating:
Mr. Belvedere explained that the Morehouse Award required him to have a college degree.
Dr. Gibbs:
I know what Mr. Belvedere said.
Dr. Keating:
Dr. Gibbs is not being arbitrary. Even you, sir, will admit that your entrance into Clemens as a freshman and your attempt to complete four years schooling in less than one year could disguise an ulterior purpose.
Lynn Belvedere:
Subterfuge is a strategy employed by idealists and parasites. I have never been either.
Dr. Keating:
Well, in that case then, you won't object if I enroll you in this university as a freshman -- subject to conditions.
Dr. Keating:
Which are?
Dr. Keating:
If you should attempt to use this college for a publicity stunt to exploit your novel or yourself -- that is, to say, if there is any notoriety or sensationalism during your stay here at Clemens -- then it shall become my unpleasant duty to expel you.
Lynn Belvedere:
Conditions accepted.
Dr. Keating:
Then allow me to welcome you officially to Clemens University.
Lynn Belvedere:
[Shaking hands]
Thank you, President Keating.
