{{quote| ''Mr. Botherit is an idiot.''<br />
''What he has to say is that we have now finished Larkin, so ''next week'', we will begin the Famous Ashbury-Brookfield Pen Pal Project. Specifically, we will write letters to students at Brookfield High, and they will become our pen pals. "And this," he says (whispering for dramatic effect), "will kill two birds with one stone!"''<br />
''("Don't you ''dare'' kill any birds," Sasha Perkins said passionately.)''<br />
''Mr. Botherit is holding one finger in the air: "A," he is saying, "it will reduce the hostility between our schools! And ''two''," he holds up a second finger, "and ''two'', it will be our stand against the tyranny of technology! By sending ''letters'', we say no to e-mails! No to mobile technology and texting! And ''yes'' to the ''Joy of the Envelope!''"'' }}
