Y'know that annoying classmate? I mean the twerp at the back of the class who does dick all except whine that everything's "too hard" even though they've never really bothered to try to think it through in the first place? That's Bush.

Harper is the little dork at the back of the class sitting next to Bush. He isn't thinking it through or doing any of his homework either.

But at least he's learning something. He's learning the same skills as criminals and con-artists; mastering the art of manipulation by aiming low and then selling his abject failure as an accomplishment: "getting things done for all of us."

A line we know so well we can read it in his smug little smirk.
