MBA student wields a laptop for class; wants to be your boss someday
WILDCAT: What are you going to do with that (degree)?
McCUE: I'm going to get a job.
WILDCAT: Right! Get a job!
McCUE: Actually I want to be boss of the world.
WILDCAT: Owning the world? So that means you'll own Wal-Mart or something, right?
McCUE: No, that would mean I would rule you and tell you what to do.
WILDCAT: You can't rule me and tell me what to do, I'm a journalist! We're free from everyone.
McCUE: Uh, sketchy.
WILDCAT: Well, right. Seriously, what would you want to go into?
McCUE: My emphasis, if you want a real answer, is marketing. So I want to do marketing.
WILDCAT: So did you have, like, a sudden awakening or something? Were you doing something when you first started attending classes at a university, you came to school and you suddenly had this enlightenment, like, you stopped doing drugs and the next thing you know it you're all, ĪNO! I WANT TO DO THIS NOW!'
McCUE: No, I've always been perfect and, well, before I came back to school I was what you see now. I am Lisa.
WILDCAT: So you're still using drugs?
McCUE: Um, I'm trying to lay off the crack.
WILDCAT: (cackling laugher) We need to take her home! So what is it with you business students carrying around laptops?
McCUE: You see, the thing is, when you're an MBA student, you have to sit through classes where there are millions of Powerpoints. And so sometimes it's just easier because you're reading the Powerpoints and you're trying to take notes.
WILDCAT: Let's cut out the BS here, you like to play the game The Sims during class don't you?
