Frankie: [v.o.] Axl was so desperate, he did something he had never done before. He persevered.
Axl: That's right, I'm still here! You hear me, Kepley? I'm not going! Got to let me take that test. I have to graduate! [thunder crashes] Oh, are you kidding me?! Fine! Bring it! I've been thirsty anyway! Rain, baby, rain! You don't understand! I've worked for this my whole life. For some kids, school comes easy, but not for me. I never studied this hard for a test in my whole life. What are you trying to teach me anyway? Hard work doesn't pay off? What kind of sick teacher are you? I know this stuff! I swear! The North Atlantic Treaty was signed April 4, 1949, as an act of collective defense against foreign invaders. The signers were the United States, Italy, Canada, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Iceland, and the five nations of the Treaty of Brussels... United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and, uh... Agh! Damn it! What is it? Um... Oh! Luxembourg! Yes! [laughs] Come on! Let me take the test! People think I should. Everyone thinks I should take this test! "Let him take the test! Let him take the test!" Even this little worm. He's saying... He's saying it... "Let him take the test. Let him take... the test."
Professor Kepley: Fine. Come to my office tomorrow at 10:00. But you've got to get an 85% or you're not graduating. 75%. [door closes]
Axl: [chuckles] Yah-ha-ha-ha-ha-hess! Yes! [laughs] Yah-ha-ha-hess!
