You have to get even with Kent. It's a moral imperative.
— Real Genius ‧ 1985
Behind the line
What it means

The speaker urges revenge by calling it a moral duty. That grand phrase makes getting even sound necessary and principled, rather than merely satisfying a grievance. The humour lies in the gap between the elevated justification and the plainly personal aim of settling a score with Kent.
