Paris: When I first started writing, I believed passionately that tenure was a reward for excellent service and a way for a school to attract the very best teachers from all over the country.
Rory: Let's go with that.
Paris: But once I finished writing, I started thinking about the other side of the argument - money and employment for the rest of your life, no matter what? Where is the incentive to keep the standards high? I mean, remember Professor Leavers? He got tenured and lost all interest. Just sat there, dowdy and sleepy. It was like being taught by Jimmy Kimmel.
Rory: Anti-tenure, stamp it, ship it.
Paris: I was thinking, maybe you could print both pieces.
Rory: What?
Paris: Side-by-side, like a point/counterpoint.
Rory: You want me to print a point/counterpoint where both points are written by the same person?
Paris: Bold, huh?
Rory: You have five minutes to pick a side.
