son: I didn't get the grades in math, chemistry and physics that i wanted. Now the MIT won't accept me. Is there anything I can do?

father: no. there is nothing you can do. All you can do however, is learn by heart, and apply to your future, Gandhi's famous phrase 'you write you write your life in indelible ink'. What you can do is go study history or some other social science discipline at Columbia University

write a play about it

Comes from the idea that Shakespeare wrote plays whenever he felt like he needed to complain about some aspect of his life.

If someone is complaining, whinging, sulking, bitching or moaning about something, no matter how pathetic or meaningful it is, you can tell them to write a play about it to shut them up.

Sort of means, "i could care less...!"
Jackie: Oh my god! I just broke a nail!
