Summer School (1987)

Beau Starr: Mr. Gremp

Quotes 

• Principal Kelban : Field trips to the beach, drinking on the beach, a bed in your classroom, a screening of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1... quite a summer, Mr. Shoop.

  Shoop : I tried to keep it interesting.

  Phil Gills : I have his dismissal ready for your signature, sir.

  Principal Kelban : Before I sign anything, I understand there are some people waiting to speak on Mr. Shoop's behalf.

  Shoop : Really?

  Principal Kelban : Come in.

  [opens the door to Shoop's students and their parents and guardians] 

  Phil Gills : Mr. Kelban, you're not actually going to listen to these delinquents?

  Principal Kelban : No, I'm going to listen to their parents. I'm Principal Kelban. Is there a spokesperson here?

  Mr. Gremp : I guess I am. I'm Howard Gremp.

  Principal Kelban : You're Chainsaw's father. Interesting boy.

  Mr. Gremp : No, you can say it. He's a lunatic.

  Chainsaw : Dad...

  Mr. Gremp : Six weeks ago, I thought he had the IQ of a salad bar. His only interest in life was to make people sick. If my mother came to dinner, he would give the dog a third eye or an extra leg. Because of him, we stopped having kids. You can imagine the feeling when I saw him studying. The wife and I almost burst into tears.

  Mrs. Frazier : David was doing his homework, too.

  Mr. Gremp : It makes sense, they share the same brain.

  Mrs. Green : Not only did Mr. Shoop get my daughter to read, he taught her to drive.

  Mr. Winchester : He showed Kevin there's more to life than football. I'm not sure I agree, but it's possible.
