Did you go to school here? Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. I think I had a class with you. I am? What class? History. Maybe. Yes. I think that's what it was. You don't necessarily... I might not remember me. I like it here. It doesn't mean because I go here I'm a genius. I am very smart. Hey. Hey, how's it going? How are you? Good, how you doing? What class did you say that was? History. Just history? It must have been a survey course then, huh? Yeah, it was. It was surveys. You should check it out. It's a good course. It's a good class. How'd you like that course? You know, frankly, I found the class, you know, rather elementary. Elementary? You know, I don't doubt that it was. Yeah. I, uh, I remember that class. It was, um, it was just between recess and lunch. Clark, why don't you go away? Why don't you relax? Why don't you go away? I'm just having fun with my new friend, that's all. But we're gonna have a problem? No, no, no, no, no, there's no problem here. I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could most aptly be characterized as agrarian pre-capital. Let me tell you something. All right, of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student. You just got finished reading some Moxian historian, Pete Garrison, probably. You're gonna be convinced of that till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're gonna be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That gonna last until next year You gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood talking about you know the pre utopia and the capital effects of military mobilization Well as a matter of fact I won because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions... Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth. You got that from Vickers. Work in Essex County, page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? But is that your thing? You come into a bar, you read some obscure passage, and then pretend you pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend? See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in 50 years, you're going to start doing some thinking on your own, and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One, don't do that. And two, you dropped 150 grand on a fucking education you could have got for $1.50 in late charges at the public library. Yeah, but I will have a degree, and you'll be serving my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, but at least I won't be unoriginal. But, I mean, if you have a problem with that, I mean, we could just step outside. We could figure it out. No, man, there's no problem. It's cool. It's cool? Yeah. Cool. Yeah. You're fucking damn right. It's cool. How you like me now? Do you like apples? Yeah. Well, I got a number. How do you like them apples? How do you like them apples? How do you like apples?
