Things said in drama class, where we are learning 'networking'.
"If there is someone you need to meet who you cannot approach directly, a good tactic is to talk to their guest and act really friendly to their guest, and then they'll introduce you and he'll trust you because you were introduced by someone he trusts."
"Don't think of it as making friends, think of it as making connections."
"Really, as an actor, you have to get work; if that means using everyone you know and everyone you meet, then that's what it takes."

This is under ths visionary leadership of which drama teacher? And of which unit?
Most of the worst quotations are from students. Ol' Ripper is teaching us theatre business. Also, as these were just the comments that stuck out to me, I'm sure there is some context they are robbed of that might make them less sickening.
I never quite got networking, although I know it applies to a whole bunch of careers. I think maybe the idea is that when you make a contact, they can use you as a contact.
I find it hilarious how they teach you the whole business side of drama. Headshots, networking, how to fire your agent...
