Stinky: Is it A, Gastropods, B, Marsupials or C, Planaria?
Ben: Um...don't help me, here.
Stinky: I can't.
Ben: Um... It's A, that thing with gas.
Stinky: No, it's D, none of the above.
Ben: But you didn't even say that!
Stinky: I didn't think it was gonna be that.
Ben: Ask me another question.
Stinky: True or false, Marsupials carry their young in pouches.
Ben: Oh, that's gotta be false. I mean, where are these animals gonna buy pouches? And
who's gonna sell 'em to 'em?
Carol: It's true Ben, it's true, you little rodent!
Ben: Carol, you're interrupting!
Carol: I can't help it. Ignorance nauseates me! If I haven't mentioned it before, let me
mention it now; you're a real disappointment to me.
Ben: Did you come in here just to bug me?
Carol: Yes.
Stinky: Don't let her get you down. My whole family's disappointed in me for hanging out with
you.
Ben: Ask me another question.
Stinky: What's the point?
Ben: Just ask me, OK!
Stinky: Ben, relax, this test only counts for half our grade.
Ben: Stinky, so far the other half of our grade's a D.
Stinky: Right, so the worst we can get is a D minus.
Ben: Oh, we're kidding ourselves. There's no way we're gonna pass this exam.
Stinky: Speak for yourself, I haven't got a single question wrong.
Ben: That's because you got the book right in front of you.
Maggie: Ben, Carol says you need my help.
Ben: I do not! Look Mom, the studying is coming along just fine. In fact I was just
commenting to Stinky, how much fun learning is.
Maggie: Well, I hope so, Ben; because if you bring home another D in Science, you'll see
another side of me, you've never seen before.
Stinky: Does it have a pouch?
Ben: See Mom, we know this stuff so well, we're already telling jokes about it. Stinky just
called you a Gasiopod.
Carol: Marsupial! Marsupial!
Ben: Well at least we know which animal has a blow whole, don't we, Carol?
Ben: A!
Stinky: No.
Ben: B.
St Uh uh.
Ben: C.
Stinky: Wrong.
Ben: D.
Stinky: Uh uh.
Ben: Well it's gotta be one of them.
Stinky: Trick question.
Ben: I don't need a trick question. I need an easy one.
Stinky: Was it just me, or was Laura-Lynn not wearing a bra today?
Ben: Stinky, that's not gonna be on the exam. And she was wearing a bra.
Stinky: No. You got that wrong too.
Vito: Yo guys!
Ben: Vito, don't tell me you're already done studying for tomorrow's exam.
Vito: Well, I thought about studying and then I decided to just say, no.
Ben: Well then, how are you gonna pass the test?
Vito: Well, let's just say I got a relative in the ditto room.
Ben: You mean, you got the answers to our test!
Vito: Shh! Ben, I'd expect Stinky to say something stupid like that.
Stinky: You got the answers to our test!
Vito: Shh! Do you wanna stand here and give this fool-proof plan away, or do you wanna
share the wealth?
Ben: But we could get caught!
Stinky: I can't risk that, my parents don't like me much as it is.
Vito: No, no, it's perfect. There's nothing to get caught with. You just memorise a few letters
and you get an A.
Stinky: Wow.
Vito: So do you wanna A, stay here and study and fail the test anyways, or B, memorise a few
letters and go and hang out at the err...leotard shop?
Ben: Finally a multiple choice question I can handle.
Vito: Alright! Yeah!
Stinky: Yeah!
Ben: See you at the test tomorrow guys. Mike, what are you doing.
Mike: I'm playing some hoops with my friends.
Ben: Pass it here, I'll play.
Mike: No, no, no. I don't think it'd be a good idea, Benny.
Ben: I've been watching girls trying on leotards for three hours, I gotta exercise.
Mike: Mom and Dad are inside waiting for you and they are mad.
Ben: At me? Why?
Mike: Well, I didn't here much, but it was something about you were supposed to be studying
and then you skipped out.
Ben: Ah, well, what they don't know is that I got this test covered from top to bottom, and
they don't have a clue.
Mike: Well, you better go and explain that to them because they think the reason you took off
is because you found some fool-proof way to cheat.
Ben: How do they know these things?
Mike: Well Benny, I think it's time you were told; Mom and Dad are witches.
Ben: What?
Mike: Oh, come on, don't tell me you haven't suspected it. I mean haven't you heard those
strange noises coming from their room at night. I mean and sometimes Dad's not even there!
Ben: Yeah.
Mike: Snap out of it, Ben. Benny, come on, the only reason they know you do this stuff is
because you're a slimy little kid.
Ben: It shows, huh?
Mike: Benny, look, just because they know every move you're gonna make, there's no reason
not to go through with this fool-proof plan of yours.
Ben: It isn't?
Mike: Of course it is. You're a walking dead man.
Ben: But you just said...
Mike: I know what I just said, but Benny, I like messing with your mind; it's one of the joys I
have as your older brother. OK, now all things aside, when you go inside that house, don't
panic, be very cool and don't crack.
Ben: Right! Right!
Mike: Alright, you can do it bro.
Ben: Alright, thanks a lot, Mike.
Mike: And don't be throw by the fact that they know every thought in your head before you
even think it.
Ben: Thanks for nothing, Mike. And for your information, I can handle Mom and Dad. I will be
completely cool.
Jason: How interesting.
Ben: Oh, Dad I just meant...
Maggie: The only thing I wanna hear from you young man is, what do you call the mammal
that carries its young in a pouch?
Ben: Err...lucky.
Carol: Marsupial! Marsupial!
Ben: Carol, you're really starting to tick me off!
Jason: Correct me if I'm wrong; you're starting to lose your cool.
Ben: Dad, it never occurred to me to cheat.
Maggie: How do you expect to pass a test if you don't cheat?
Ben: Well, I... Huh?
Jason: Ben, your mom's right. Now you're under the gun here, Ben, and since you're not
studying, cheating's your only hope.
Ben: So it's OK to cheat!
Jason: No, it is not OK to cheat.
Ben: Well... But you just said...
Jason: I know what I said, Ben. We're messing with your mind. It's one of the only joys we
have as parents.
Maggie: Ben, you've been letting Science slide all semester and today, the day before the test
you waste three hours doing God-knows-what! My guess is, watching women in tight outfits.
Ben: She is a witch.
Jason: What did you call your mother/
Ben: Nothing. Nothing, nothing, I'm sorry.
Jason: Alright, well here's your multiple choice, Ben. A, you can either stand here, keep
talking about it and get yourself in deeper or B, you can go up to your room and study till you
drop or C, you can pay me a million Dollars. If he goes for the million, I take you to dinner.
Ben: OK, the main factor in the dinosaurs extinction was A, the movement of glaciers, B, the
evolution of mammals, C, the green house effect or D, no one knows. Err...B, the evolution of
mammals. Survey says, no one knows. Well then what are you asking me for, like I'm gonna
know.
(Voices in Ben's head of things he's heard)
Vito: Ben, what are you doing sitting up studying? You got the answer sheet in your pocket.
Doesn't that bed look mighty comfortable.
Ben: I can't cheat, Vito, they're on to me.
Vito: Your not thinking. You don't have to get 'em all right. Just make sure you get a couple
wrong.
Ben: But how do I do that?
Vito: Just be yourself.
Mike: They're witches Ben, they're witches.
Maggie: Ben, you bring home another D in Science, you'll see a side of me, you have never
seen before!
