| “ | We're not so different, you and I, Dean. Don't you see we're both in the same situation? We're both dinosaurs roaring in vain at the mammals. What did you think was gonna happen when you let Frankie Dart into our world? How much more "clean" can she make the school before she notices... the dirtiest thing of all about it? You think I'm a villain, but I'm not. I'm defending a place where we all get to be our own heroes. We're all here because... none of us can have nice things. | „ |

Lapari and the other custodians set up an illegal game of paintball at Greendale, funded by City College. His goal was to vandalize Greendale to keep custodians necessary. He used silver paintballs and was known as "Silver Ballz" throughout the game. He was being honored at a Gala. At the Gala, the Save Greendale Committee tried to uncover Silver Ballz, not realizing it was Lapari. When it was revealed, Jeff and the Dean tracked him down to a "Custodial Museum".
