Friends in high places

Alonso: I can’t stand that guy, Ellis. He always acts like such a snob.

Branda: I wouldn’t mess with him. He has friends in high places.

Alonso: Huh? What do you mean?

Branda: His dad is on the school board. And he likes to throw his weight around.

Alonso: Ugh, I hate people like that.

It’s drizzling

Having a field day

Off the hook
