// A large map of Asia is hanging on the wall
Dr. Stern: So, U.S. relations with Japan didn't change much after their start.
// The thumbtacks spontaneously pop out of the wall and the whole map clatters loudly to the floor, revealing a map of South America underneath.
Dr. Stern: Now, moving on to U.S. interests in South America... -

Mr. Dibbs: Ugh, English is the worst. It's all about opinion. That stuff would never work with chemistry.
Mr. Dibbs: "What does this equation really mean?" "What is Dalton actually trying to say?"

// Mr. Dibbs is doing equilibrium demonstration involving solutions of varying color
Mr. Dibbs: This red test tube, when placed in hot water will become more red, but when placed in cold water will become purple.
Student: That isn't red, that's brown.
Mr. Dibbs: Red, brown, same thing. You kids and your different colors. Back in my day, you'd get crayon boxes with just the three primary colors. Now you've got those boxes of 150,000 crayon colors - Upstate New York Green! Electric Ruby! Montana Sunset, 5 PM!
Mr. Dibbs: And why do they need so many blues? You've got navy blue, sky blue, cerulean blue, periwinkle blue, azure, midnight blue... and what the hell is up with baby blue? Am I the only one who thinks of a still-born when I hear baby blue?
Mr. Dibbs: Speaking of which, why are all the colors so cheerful? What about cadaver green? Funerial purple? Rigor mortis red?
// After experiment
Mr. Dibbs: Okay, class, so what color is the test tube?
Class: Purple.
Mr. Dibbs: No, it's midnight fuchsia.
