Quote from Paris in Those Are Strings, Pinocchio
Paris: Relax, I'm okay with you making valedictorian over me. Rory: Oh, good, thanks. Paris: Sure. I actually googled the personal histories of Ivy League valedictorians going back twenty-five years, and found some enlightening statistics. They don't necessarily do too well in later life, did you know that? Rory: No. Paris: Oh, yeah. A lot of business failures, crumbled marriages, suicides, obesity. A bunch died in car crashes, several did time, one suffocated when his cat fell asleep on his face. Rory: Okay, well, thanks again.
