Lawrence: Mr. Schneebly?
Dewey Finn: Yeah? Hey, what's up?
Lawrence: I don't think I should be in the band.
Dewey Finn: Why not?
Lawrence: I'm not cool enough. People in bands are cool. I'm not cool.
Dewey Finn:

Dude, you are cool. The way you play. Why do you say you're not cool?
Lawrence: Nobody ever talks to me.
Dewey Finn: Well, those days are over, buddy. You could be the ugliest sad sack on the planet, but if you're in a rocking band, you're the cat's pajamas. You're the bee's knees.
