Are you sure you're not quoting a Simpsons episode? If I'm not mistaken, he followed that quote with instructions to his thugs to "buy 'em out, boys.", whereby they proceeded to trash the office of the dot-com in question.

I'm not certain it's historically accurate.



I feel like, as time progresses linearly and The Simpsons continues to air new episodes, the probability that a given quote perceived to be from history is actually from a Simpsons episode asymptotically approaches 1.


That seems like a cromulent observation to me.


That's it. You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college.


I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.

Better than that, I'm 100% sure I was. Facetious comment was for the lulz, but it seems people enjoyed having the joke explained so it's all good :-)
