Adam: Why do you always wear a tie in shop class, anyway? It literally can get caught in everything.
Mr. Crosby: I dress nice for the wood because I honor the wood. I expect the same from my students.
Murray: I get the boy can be a bit of a smartass, but it's just wood. I don't know why you got to honor it.
Mr. Crosby: I'll tell you why, sir. I lived in a suspended bamboo cage for three years.
Principal Ball: Oh, boy. Uh, Derek, while we all thank you for your service, I don't think we need to hear-
Mr. Crosby: It was a simple design, but sturdy as hell. Naturally, I tried to saw through it with a crude tool I had fashioned from my hair and some toenails.
Principal Ball: Could we just stay on course-
Mr. Crosby: But as time wore on, the jungle madness took me. I tried to summon a monkey army to free me from my elegant fortress.
Principal Ball: Okay, just speed through to the end.
Mr. Crosby: I soon realized that I needed to forgive the wood that encaged me.
Principal Ball: Just, uh [whistles]
Mr. Crosby: And when a monsoon swept my captors into a river, that cage became a raft to freedom. And so, I have dedicated my life to the art of woodworking.
