[edit] Trivia
The plot used in this unaired pilot was recycled in episode four: Who Wants Cake?. The major difference between the episodes is that Jerri works at a nursing home in Retardation: A Celebration and interacts with Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert as nurses. Who Wants Cake? is set entirely at Flatpoint High.
[edit] Quotes
- Principal Blackman: Some of these retards are extremely clever.
- Jerri Blank: I realize now why I've been so reluctant to squeal on Kimberly. It's because I've been thinking like a con. In the joint, If you turn fink, you get stuck with a shiv in the shower. Lord knows I've stabbed a few squealers. But I'm a different person now. I'm not the same Jerri Blank who found those bones on the freeway and didn't report it. And I'm not the same person who watched those women drown. And I'm certainly not the same Jerri Blank who took a crap in Fleischmann's holly bushes. Last night.
