Headmaster, Dr. Bartram: I'd like to forget this whole thing ever happened.
David Green: No sir. You're never going to forget this happened, because I'm going to stay here. And every time you see me, you'll remember that it happened. You used me for football. I'll use you to get into Harvard.
This moment in School Ties is meant to be a big “fuck you” to the “Establishment” that we all cheer along to, and we assume Brendon Frasier’s just gonna crush the grades so his trek to Harvard is unassailable BUT since we all live and breathe in the real world can’t we assume that the old headmaster at this school has been a pretty cozy pipeline for Harvard and at any moment can just pick up the phone & tell Harvard “don’t accept this kid” and Harvard will be like “oh this Jewish kid nobody’s ever heard of who’s not a legacy or rich okay byyeeeeeeeeeeeeee”? 🤔🤷♂️
