- [first lines]
- Mrs. Wells: Oh, hi, Danny come on in.
- [Danny presents a failed exam]
- Mrs. Wells: Looks like you're having some trouble with addition.
- Mrs. Wells: We had a test. One of the questions was what is 2 + 2. Danny answered 22.
- Danny's Dad: And?
- Mrs. Wells: And that's not the right answer.
- Danny's Mom: Says who?
- Mrs. Wells: Says math.
- Danny's Dad: Are you calling my son stupid?
- Mrs. Wells: No, of course not!
- Danny's Dad: Who are you to say that your answer is right and that his is wrong?
- Danny's Mom: No no no no, she's right...
- Mrs. Wells: Thank you.
- Danny's Mom: ...right out of Nazi Germany.
- Principal: I understand you told Danny he had a wrong answer on his test.
- Mrs. Wells: He did have a wrong answer on his test.
- Principal: It's not our job to tell students when they're right and wrong.
- Mrs. Wells: That is exactly what our job is.
- Principal: If you took all the kids in this classroom and divided them by zero, that's exactly the amount of respect you're giving them.
- [Mrs. Wells smirks]
- Principal: Something you'd like to say?
- Mrs. Wells: You can't divide a number by zero and get zero.
- Smug Pundit: So this teacher, this liberal elitist, tells this innocent little first-grade kid that his answer is wrong. Only her answer is acceptable.
- Angry Pundit: Yeah, from what I hear, she didn't keep these students for more than a year. After that, they all leave her and go to another teacher.
- Mrs. Wells: It's called graduating!
