Quote from Greg in Everybody Hates the Class President

Adult Chris: [v.o.] I didn't want to win an election and lose a friend.
Greg: No, you have to stay in.
Chris: What for?
Greg: "What for?" Because you're not just doing this for yourself, you're doing it for us. You said it yourself. You're tired of us being pushed around. You're tired of people always making fun of us. Remember? You're not going to take it anymore. That's what you said.
