Quote #7
David Caroni – Worse than that […], he had allowed Brother Leon to blackmail him. If teachers did this kind of thing, what kind of world could it be? (16.45)
Poor David. At Trinity, he's learning to trust no one. He's just as disappointed in himself for succumbing to Leon's manipulations as he is in Brother Leon for manipulating him.
Quote #8
"Look, Jerry. There's something rotten in that school. More than rotten." (23.26)
You said it, Goob. We don't know how long Trinity's been in operation, or how long things have been so bad. Still, we get a sense it's been this way for a long time. Maybe Brother Leon himself went to school here! But that's just sheer speculation.
Quote #9
They tell you to do your own thing, but they don't mean it. They don't want you to do your thing, unless it happens to be their thing, too. It's a laugh, Goober, a fake. Don't disturb the universe, Goober, no matter what the posters say. (38.17)
These are Jerry's last thoughts, the things he wants to say to Goober, but can't. Do you think he'll revise his thoughts later? We just can't picture Jerry as a passive, submissive guy, especially after what he's been through. What do you think?
