You pulled off the biggest scare this school has ever seen! Mike: That wasn't me. Sully: That was you! You think I could have done that without you? I didn't even bring a pencil on the first day of school! Mike, you're not scary, not even a little. But you are fearless! And if Hardscrabble can't see that, then she can just– Hardscrabble: [perched on a stone pedestal] I can just what? Careful, Mr. Sullivan. I was just warmin
