Quote from Mr. Herkabe in Emancipation
Mr. Herkabe: Well, I have your test results. You all got A's. But, since this is the gifted class, I also factored in the cogency of argument, economy of language and penmanship, which enabled me to do this. Malcolm: What is that? Mr. Herkabe: A ranking board. Malcolm: But I thought you said we all got A's. Mr. Herkabe: Oh, you did. But some of you got better A's than others. Lloyd: But we all still have A's? Mr. Herkabe: Of course. Malcolm: So, er, what does being number one get you? Mr. Herkabe: Nothing! Just the knowledge that you are number one. Or that you are not number one. Yes, number five? Dabney: It's Dabney, sir. Mr. Herkabe: I know. What is it, number five? Dabney: I forgot.
