I want lilac shirts!
I want visors...
...kind of tilted to the side,
with hair gel coming out of it.
I want to have sex with girls
that look like this!
You rock!
I know I do!
You do, yeah, you do.
Do I get hair gel now, or do
I have to go and buy my own?
Did you crack him?
No.
We'll crack him.
Sherman, do you know how long
that this fraternity has survived?
Yes, sir.
153 majestic years, sir.
That is correct. Because it's
based on the most sacred principle...
...that brothers can share.
Trust.
And seriously, bro, I'm...
I'm beginning to question...
...whether or not
I can trust you.
'Cause we know you been hanging out
with those freaks down at the loony bin.
So with your allegiance
being called into question...
I just wanted
to ask you just one thing.
Paddle.
That's actually not a question. Shut up!
Are you with them...
...or are you with us?
Decent party.
Okay, I'll give you decent.
Hey, where is Schrader?
He should be here for this.
I don't know. I haven't
seen him in a couple of days.
I hope he's not sick.
Okay. Quick, quick, quick,
everybody say "Cheers"!
Hey, "quick, quick, quick,"
get up in here.
No.
Oh, yes.
Yes, yes, yes. Come over here. Okay.
Gotta up
the gorgeous quotient.
Okay. Get ready and now.
Cheers!
Schrader.
Schrader, come on, open up.
What are you...
What the hell happened to you?
Nothing. Just a little ritual
bonding over at the B.K.E. House.
What?
What are you talking about?
They kicked my ass, until I
told them all about South Harmon.
Oh, sh*t.
They took my laptop,
the mailing list, everything.
Sh*t. Man, I'm sorry.
All I ever wanted was a
run-of-the-mill college experience.
But not me, right?
I can't have that.
Not me!
'Cause I'm too busy getting
the sh*t kicked out of me...
...and being an accomplice
to fraud!
Does the run-of-the-mill
college experience...
...include stripping you
of your dignity?
Totally humiliating you, making you
wear a... A... A frigging hot dog suit?
It's a tradition.
A tradition?
Yes. I got a tradition for you.
Schrader, you've been my best
friend since we were 5 years old.
That's the only tradition
I know.
I just messed up.
I really messed up.
How? What happened?
With Schrader.
I know Bartleby
is by the pool.
Oh, my God.
What is it? Cops?
Worse. Parents.
Mom! Dad! Great!
Hey, guys.
Bartleby! Hiya, kid!
Hey, oh, it's so good
to see you!
Oh, it's great to see you.
Ow. You look thin.
There's five good ones right
there for my college boy, huh?
Hey, hey, Dad.
Wha... What... What... What
are you doing here?
Well, Parents' Day.
What a wonderful idea on the
part of the college, you know?
Yeah.
Oh, right.
Parents' Day.
Of course.
Hello, everyone.
Now, welcome to Parents' Day.
And, uh, we're very glad
you could be here.
Um, we have a wonderful
guided tour planned...
...a- Around the grounds
and the campus...
Show you what we've been
working on all year.
So, welcome one and all.
Excuse me, everyone.
May I have
your attention, please?
Oh, sh*t.
I knew I smelled bacon.
My name is Richard Van Horne.
Oh, Van Horne, yes.
The... The dean of Harmon
College, our big sister school.
Give him a round of applause.
He's earned it.
Thank you for comin' by.
Great to see him here.
They are our
big sister school...
...and we are honored
by their presence.
Thank you for that nice introduction,
young man, but the joke is over.
Ladies and gentlemen...
South Harmon
Institute of Technology...
...is not the sister school
of Harmon...
...or of anything else,
for that matter.
More like cousins.
Thank you for coming.
It is not accredited.
Any...
Nor is it truly
an educational institution.
Is this true, Bartleby?
It is a sham, a fraud...
...that undermines the efforts
of real colleges everywhere...
...and I invite you
to confirm that...
...with the State Board
of Accreditation.
To all those students
who have been duped...
...good luck applying
to schools next year.
And to Mr. Gaines I say you will
be hearing from our attorneys.
Wow, Parents' Day. Man, I wish
I would have thought of that.
Oh, that's right, I did.
Oh, and by the way...
...if you, uh, if you see
that lease holder of yours...
...will you tell him that his
lease automatically breaks...
...when he's found
guilty of fraud?
Cool. Thanks, D.
Er, was it G?
That's right, it's F.
See you, F.
Guys, I can explain.
Mmm-mmm.
You have done some stupid
things in your life, Bartleby...
...but this...
You get your stuff together.
You meet us in the car.
This is unconscionable.
Ridiculous.
Hey.
So...
...none of this was real?
That's not true.
Wait, Monica. Monica, wait.
Monica.
Sorry, man.
It's cool. We tried.
Have you completely
lost your mind?
Guys, the state defines
a college as a body of people...
...with a shared common purpose
of a higher education.
Well that's us, isn't it?
I mean, you know, with the word
"higher" kind of loosely defined.
Uh, yeah.
He's completely lost his mind.
No, no. Listen,
all we have to do...
...is go before
the state accrediting board...
...with a licensed administrator,
and just present our case.
B, look, let's just cut
our losses, okay?
What are we
talking about here, huh?
We're talking about
a stupid piece of paper.
I mean,
if a stupid piece of paper...
...is what's gonna
make us acceptable...
...then let's go for it.
Why not?
'Cause you gotta remember, it's
not just about us anymore, okay?
It's about everyone
who went to South Harmon.
Ah, great speech.
I was inspired,
I felt inspired by it.
Thanks a lot,
I'm... I'm taking it on tour.
What are you doing here?
Aw, I don't know. I had...
I had to pick up some stuff.
Some sage. Eggplant.
Olive oil. Some Funyuns.
Wait a minute.
Come on!
You're the one that applied
for accreditation, aren't you?
Well, someone had
to do it, you know?
We all can't live
with our heads up our asses.
I disagree.
I... I don't get it, man.
You said you didn't wanna
be a part of this thing.
I didn't want to have
anything to do with it.
I wanted to be the fourth generation
of Schrader to go to Harmon.
But then I realized...
I would much rather be the
first generation of Schrader...
...to go to the South Harmon
Institute of Technology.
I said it, okay?
I said it.
So you're saying...
...you're saying
you want to be a S.H.I.T. Head?
I'm sayin' I want to be
a S.H.I.T. Head.
I wanna be a S.H.I.T. Head.
Yeah, man, well, it's good
to have you back, buddy.
Yes.
Yeah!
Yay!
All right,
so we're doing it.
Thanks to this S.H.I.T. Head,
we got a hearing set for Friday.
Don't sweat it, kid.
I'm all over it.
All right, please remember,
Ben, this is serious, all right?
If this doesn't work,
I'm going to prison.
Oh, don't worry, you're
young. Your butt can take it.
Hello, sir. Um,
we're from South Harmon.
We have a 3:
00in Hearing Room A.
Okay, actually your meeting room's
been changed to the Grand Hall.
