Michael: It’s how to reconstruct the Tartan if there’s nothing but the constitution and bylaws.
Madelyn: It’s like the Tartan apocalypse. Everyone on the Tartan quits because of the Pillbox cover.
(Allison turns around looking horrified.)
Christa: The look on Allison’s face was awesome.
Madelyn: I want a Tartan shirt.
Michael: If you give me 15 dollars, I will ensure you have the future opportunity to obtain a Tartan shirt.
Greg: For another 15 dollars?
(Discussing a board ed about student government’s inaction)
Emily: I think the point is that they get a $10,000 budget… what are they doing with it?
Anna: Embezzling.
Emily: Embezzling.
Michael: That is NOT the opinion of the Tartan.
Michael: Thank you for writing, contributing, arting…
Anna: Arting! It’s a verb now!
Emily: Michael, just don’t circle things!
Michael: It means it’s wrong.
Stacey: Maybe we should try to lighten this photo some.
Michael: What?! No. Everything should be black. Like my soul.
Michael: Are people still reading? Done reading? Good. Good newspaper staff.
Michael: I have something from Courtney that I’m going to put up on the thingy thing.
Emily: Projector.
Michael: I don’t do words. I’m just the editor-in-chief.
(Michael is writing names on the projected screen to order the people that want to talk. Daniel’s turn comes.)
Daniel: I have nothing to add. Everyone already said everything. I just wanted to see my name up there.
Michael: Things fail but they don’t fail in ways that destroy anything. They fail and crawl away somewhere.
