I dated a girl who wanted to be a musical actress. I hate musicals, she owned 300+ musicals on CD, and tried to get me to like it. We saw this episode, and she was insulted by it, so I used that quote every time she’d play something thinking I might like it.

That explains the jumper at the ceremony. (A student either slipped or jumped and died at the end of the ceremony). Too soon, yes, but I feel like I need to fill the TT-sized void on inappropriate death jokes.
