"Now you listen close and you listen hard, bucko," Lucas said, holding up the receiver of an old-school phone. "The next click you hear is me hanging up. The one after that... is me pulling the trigger!" And with that, Lucas hung up.

"That's kind of my 'Feeling lucky punk' quote from one of my biggest hits, 'You Just Don't Exist,'" Lucas said. "When people dress like Cole Hazard at conventions, that's the line they quote. That's the power of a catchphrase. You think Schwartzenegger gets to be a politician today if he couldn't mumble at least one good catchphrase per movie? If you do, you're an idiot and the rest of the class should kick your ass and steal your lunch money."

Lucas waited to see if anyone would raise their hand and volunteer for an ass kicking.

"It's Friday. We're in Hawaii on Sunday. You don't want to do any work now, I get that," Lucas said. "Unfortunately for you guys, 'evil' is in my job description. So you're going to get a bunch of situations and you need to come up with catchphrases for them. Your character is a badass. They're about to do something badass. Figure out what you're going to say and then make it sound badass."

Kate rolled her eyes, deeming that one too lame to merit a verbal response. "I don't know, number four? It's not like I really give a shit."

"Shark hunters, sounds like a match. Why don't you give a shit? It's class, we have a task to do, right?" Caroline wasn't sure Katie got it.

"I'm pretty sure the teacher doesn't really give a shit, either," Kate pointed out. "So I could just as well pretend to do the task, just like I'm pretending to have a civil conversation with you."

"Oh right, you're too cool for school," Caroline replied, rolling her eyes. "My bad. Maybe we can go with something simple like, It's too early for this shit, a catchphrase for any situation happening first period, hmm?"

"You know, I really do not care," Kate said, shaking her head slowly. "I'm sure that will go over just fine with Professor Lee. Not like we're trying to follow Arnold fucking Schwartzenegger into politics anyway."
