Tonya Quote #126

Quote from Tonya in Everybody Hates PSATs

Girl: I just started taking violin lessons. My parents took me to Lincoln Center to see Itzhak Perlman. He's a genius.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] My family could nod and say, "Oh, really?"
Tonya: Oh, really?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] But good luck getting them to agree.
Tonya: The violin's okay. I like the bass. Have you ever heard the bass line to "Get the Funk Out of My Face"? Louis Thunder-Thumbs Johnson? Now that's a genius.
