The Quote

Quote from Tim in The Old College Try

Tim: We're gonna focus on the engine, actually.
Brett: All right! [students all stand]
Tim: No, no, sit, sit, sit! You don't need tools today. All you need is paper and pencils. I'm gonna do a history lesson about the internal combustion engine. It's interesting because most people don't know it was developed in a little village in France. [a spitwad hits the board] That's cold. Very good spit to wad ratio on that. Very nice, very nice. Is this not interesting? Is that the problem?
Grant: We came here to get our hands dirty.
Tim: Oh, really? Well, look. The school curriculum says the first lesson is just lecture, OK?
Billy: Since when does "The Tool Man" follow instructions?
Grant: Right. He didn't follow them when he fell in that port-a-potty.
Tim: You know, this material is boring but it may come up on a test.
Grant: You make the tests.
Tim: I do? I can give D's rather than get them? I'm the king. All right. And these are my subjects. I say, let's get greasy. [grunts]
