Afterschool (2008)

Michael Stuhlbarg: Mr. Burke

Quotes 

• Mr. Burke : [after seeing the memorial video Robert made]  Is that serious, Robert?

  Robert : What do you mean?

  Mr. Burke : Is there something wrong with you, Robert? I'm no editor but I can safely say that's probably the worst thing I've ever seen. You didn't even have music! I'm gonna tell Mr. Wiseman to have someone else reediting everything. You... I'm very disappointed.

• Mr. Burke : [chuckling]  Let's, uh, quiet down because there's a lot of announcements to make this morning. And pay attention. There might be a little note in here that could change your lives, maybe an activity you never knew of that'll turn out to be your calling later in life, your career, and from one little announcement you heard in morning meeting.

  [a late student arrives] 

  Mr. Burke : Good morning. Jameson, did you sleep all right? You just missed a little inspiring speech on announcements about you POSSIBLY being inspired to try something that will ultimately be your future, but I wouldn't worry - McDonald's will most likely still be hiring after you graduate.
