Mr. Glover: Well, I trust that all of you are well ensconced in your experiments. Now when I call your name, you will state your hypothesis and bring me up to date on your experiment. Miss Heck?
Sue: Well... um...
Mr. Glover: "Well, um" is not an hypothesis. Miss Moore?
Lauren Moore: My hypothesis is that some marinade ingredients might block carcinogenic compounds from forming on meat when it's grilled. I'm currently looking at which ingredients would inhibit PHIP formation, 'cause if I can find a way to decrease carcinogens from our diet, I might have found a way to prevent cancer.
Mr. Glover: Whew. Miss Heck?
Sue: Um, well... my hypothesis... is that smiling is contagious. [laughter] It's more than you think. You see, the purpose of this project is to prove that when one individual smiles, it will elicit a similar smile from another human, thereby decreasing levels of worldwide... unhappiness.
Mr. Glover: Well, then. The rest of you will have to tell me your hypothesis later because I have to dust off the Nobel prize for Miss Heck. Let me warn you... if this is the direction you're going, you... better... "wow" me.
