Quote from Mr. Feeny

Eric: We seem to be stuck on that C plus, and we just can't get off it.
Mr. Feeny: The word is mired.
Eric: All right, what about on the next test or two, if you give us, say, Bs?You know what's gonna happen?
Mr. Feeny: Tell me.
Eric: For the first time, we're gonna know how exciting it is to get a B.
We'd be hooked! We would do anything we could to get another one of those B's. We would be inspired to study and learn from that day forward.
Mr. Feeny: Aha. Then why don't we give elephants pants? Perhaps then they'd be inspired to buy coats.

Eric: Dopes.
