Lois: Dewey, I just got off the phone with your English teacher. She said you got an "F" on your paper.
Dewey: Huh.
Lois: An "F"! You keep this up, you'll fail the class, which will go on your record, which will determine where you are placed in high school and where you will go to college, if anywhere.
Hal: Don't go to college. It's okay with me.
Lois: How do you think you're going to make your way in the world?
Dewey: You don't get it, Mom. Things take care of themselves. Rock on.
