Colonel: The bell will ring, everyone will go back to class, and pretty soon I’ll be a distant memory, even to ya’ll. I’ll just be that funny little black dude you knew back in the day, until one day years from now, you’ll just be thinking, “Hey, I wonder what happened to Chip Martin. I wonder what he would have made of himself. He never would have got expelled all those years ago. Chances are you won’t remember why nobody will.
Alaska: That is not true. We will always be friends.
Colonel: No we won’t. We can’t. Starting tomorrow I’ll be the guy who got kicked out of school ‘cause of you and you’ll always feel guilty and I’ll always feel resentful and that’s no recipe for a friendship now is it?
