Joining us on this show will be Mom and Dave (Davy, Danya), my little brother, who is graphically redesigning the curriculum for us this summer. Also Casey, who is no relation, but is Mom's executive assistant. Also Garret, who is Courtney's brother and Davy's friend and Nate's trusted henchmen for all things involving the copier, and was a classmate of mine back in high school. We believe in nepotism around here.

“You know I would do it, Garret. You know I would.” - Casey
“Oh, I know you would shoot me, Casey. Would you shoot me in the face with a dart gun, Christy?” - Garret

“I don’t know you well enough to shoot you. I like you well enough to shoot you, but I don’t know you well enough to shoot you. There’s a difference.” – Christy
“Right.” – Garret
“But at least I like you well enough. Nobody shoots people they don’t like.” – Christy

“I’m just saying that you may want to know what a study guide is before you try to crossbreed it with a quiz. From what you’ve told me, you’ve never worked with study guides.” – Christy
“I don’t care about the parentage of my beast. It has sprung fully clothed from my mind!” – Laura, smiling.
“Well, if you want to go give birth to Athenas all over the place…” – Christy, smiling back.

On licking the peanut butter knife:
“Well, no one else wanted it!” – Nate
