Quote from Tim in Ye Olde Shoppe Teacher
Tim: Mr. Leonard, it's great to see you. Mr. Leonard: Oh, Timmy, it's wonderful. It brings back such memories. [laughs] Do you remember your first semester, the thing with the acetylene torch? Tim: Yeah. I burned a little hole in the principal's office wall. Mr. Leonard: Uh-huh. You remember his reaction? He was fuming. Tim: Literally. Mr. Leonard: Oh, yeah. He wanted me to take you out of shop class permanently. Tim: The principal wanted me out of shop class? And the school board and the PTA. I think I even got a call from the mayor. And I told them all, "Thank you. Go stick it in your ear." Jill: Why did you stick up for Tim like that? Mr. Leonard: Because I had never seen a kid with so much enthusiasm before. When I could get you to calm down and stop trying to set the principal on fire, you showed some real talent. And that's why I told them to shove it. Because I knew you were gonna be great, and I was right.
