Bethica: I hate math. Why can't it just die? Who invented this crap anyways? What moron took the time to come up with mathematical phrases? This is a sick world...
Tuesday: 3:28: Mr. Shink's Math Club
Bethica: Hey Arnold!
Arnold: Hello.
Bethica: Sit next to me!
Arnold: It's not like I have a choice.
(Mr. Shink walks in with another man)
Mr. Shink: Hello Mathletes! Welcome to another exciting year of the math club! I'm glad to see some familiar faces returning...
Arnold: Who's that man, Mr. Shink?
Mr. Shink: This, is Mr. Harvey.
(pause)
Arnold: And?
Mr. Shink: And he's going to be helping us with mathematical problems.
Arnold: That's nice...
Bethica: What's the point of him being here? You don't think we're smart enough to solve our own expressions?
Mr. Shink: I believe your all very capable of solving your own equations. Mr. Harvey just wanted to be here.
Arnold: Why would anyone want to be here?
Mr. Shink: Because Math is the basic unit of life.
Arnold: Um, that's cells, which is biology...
Mr. Shink: (obviously getting irritated) Then why are you here Arnold?
Arnold: Beth forced me.
Mr. Shink: anywho...I will be assigning partners today; right now. (takes out a piece of paper) Kim R, you're with Jessica M. Caleb, you're paired with Derek Y. Eli...wait, where's Eli?
Guy: yes?
Mr. Shink: Who're you? Are you new?
Guy: No sir, but my name's Eli.
Guy2: Uh, Mr. Shink, the Eli your looking for couldn't make it today.
Mr. Shink: Oh. (to Guy) So your not in Mathletes?
Guy: No Sir
Mr. Shink: Why are you here?
Guy: I'm waiting for a friend.
Mr. Shink: Is your friend a Mathlete?
Guy: No
Mr. Shink: (pause) Get out of here!
(Guy exits)
Mr. Harvey: He doesn't loom pretty smart to be here anyways.
Bethica: Who're you to judge him?
Mr. Harvey: How dare you talk to me in that manner?
Arnold: (mimicking Mr. Harvey) How dare you talk to me in that manner?
Mr. Harvey: What's your name young girl?
Bethica: Bethica
Mr. Harvey: Ha! Quite a name. Are you smart Bethica?
Bethica: What kind of question is that?
Mr. Harvey: A question question. Tell me, can you solve this equation? (shows 24/4 + 16-7)
Bethica: Piece of cake! 15.
Mr. Shink: 'm sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Harvey, but we have a meeting-
Mr. Harvey: Think you're smart eh? Slove this equation. (he shows a cery difficult and impossible equation to solve)
Arnold: Oh! I have a better one! (shows the equation 2+2)
Bethica: 4?
Arnold: Are you sure?
Bethica: yes...
Arnold: Positive?
Bethica: Absolutely.
Arnold: Ok. (takes out a pad marked 'Math Homework') Thanks. You've helped alot, I've been stuck on that one all day.
Mr. Harvey: Are you serious? Why are you even here?
Arnold: Like I said, I was forced...
