Mrs. Krabappel:
Please turn in your exam, Bart. Class is over.
-
Bart:
You think you could grade it now, please?
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
Well, all right. Let me get Old Red. (grades paper) Well Bart, it's a 59. That's another F.
-
Bart:
Oh, no. I can't believe it.
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
I know, I know. Another year together. Ugh. It's gonna be hell.
-
Bart:
(starts crying)
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
What's the matter? I would think you'd be use to failing by now.
-
Bart:
No, you don't understand! I really tried this time! I REALLY tried!
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
There, there.
-
Bart:
This is as good as I can do! And I STILL failed!
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
Well... a 59. It's a HIGH F.
-
Bart:
Who am I kidding? I really am a failure! Oh, now I know how George Washington felt when he surrendered Fort Necessity to the French in 1754!
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
What?
-
Bart:
Oh, you know. 1754. The famous defeat to the French.
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
(looks it up in textbook) My god, Bart! You're right!
-
Bart:
So?
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
You just demonstrated applied knowledge! And due to the difficulty and relative obscurity of the reference, you deserve an extra point on your exam. Hey. It's only fair.
-
Bart:
You mean... I passed?
-
Mrs. Krabappel:
Just barely.
-
Bart:
I PASSED! I GOT A D MINUS! I PASSED!
