Quote from Randy in Bye Bye Birdie
Brad: Hey, Randy. I'm in big trouble. Randy: What's the matter? Brad: Well, I flunked another math assignment. Mom and Dad are gonna kill me. Randy: Maybe not. Mom thought you were upset this morning because Jennifer dumped you. Brad: But I'm the one who dumped her. Randy: Yeah, well, Mom doesn't know that. You can milk this thing. Make her think you're having trouble in math because you're really lovesick. Brad: Hey, that's a great idea.
