"That was the funniest thing I’d heard in days. You’re kidding, right? PLEASE tell me you have a stronger motive for me than ‘fair is fair.’" This quote reflects a humorous and skeptical reaction to someone’s simplistic reasoning about fairness. The speaker clearly finds the idea of fairness as a motivation unconvincing and somewhat absurd.
"Life isn’t FAIR, Dean....Nothing is fair, EVER. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I need to help you because FAIR IS FAIR? Try, ‘I need you to help me so I won’t rip out your spine and beat you with it.’ I MIGHT respond to that." This section emphasizes a cynical attitude toward fairness, suggesting that the concept isn’t valid in real-life situations. It highlights a darkly humorous and gritty tone from the book School’s Out—Forever by James Patterson.
