[MD] Shop Class as Soulcraft

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

Brian: 'Cause I'm stupid...'cause I'm failing shop. See we had this assignment,
to make this ceramic elephant, and um--and we had eight weeks to do it and
we're s'posed ta, and it was like a lamp, and when you pull the trunk the light
was s'posed to go on. My light didn't go on, I got a F on it. Never got a F in
my life. When I signed up, you know, for the course I mean. I thought I was
playing it real smart, you know. 'Cause I thought, I'll take shop, it'll be
such an easy way to maintain my grade point average.

Bender: Why'd you think it'd be easy?

Brian: Have you seen some of the dopes that take shop?

Bender: I take shop. You must be a fuckin' idiot!

Brian: I'm a fuckin' idiot because I can't make a lamp?

Bender: No, you're a genius because you can't make a lamp.

Brian: What do you know about Trigonometry?

Bender: I could care less about Trigonometry.

Brian: Bender, did you know without Trigonometry there'd be no engineering?

Bender: Without lamps, there'd be no light.
