"Its like me you know like with my grades" brian says, "Like, when I step outside myself kind of, and when I look in at myself, you know? And I see me and I don't like what I see, I really don't." Brian frowned as Mia frowned, "Why don't you like yourself?" "Yeah, " Claire added, "What's wrong with you?".
'Cause I'm stupid," he said bitterly, ''cause I'm failing shop. See, we had this assignment to make the ceramic elephant, and, um. and we had eight weeks to do it and we're supposed to, and it was like a lamp, and when you pull the trunk the light was supposed to go on. My light didn't go on. I got an F on it. Never got an 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." Brian says
"Why'd you think it'd be easy?" John asked evenly. Brian looked at him, "Have you seen some of the dopes that take shop?" "I take shop,"
Bender scoffed,"You must be a fucking idiot." "I'm a fucking idiot 'cause I can't make a lamp?" Brian fired. "No, you're a genius because you can't make a lamp." John replied. Brian leaned forward towards John and Mia, "What do you know about trigonometry?" "I could care less about trigonometry." he said, "did you know without trigonometry there'd be no engineering?" "Without lamps, there'd be no light!" John fired back.
"Okay;"Mia said loudly, interrupting the two, "We get it. Both of you are good at whatever it is you're good at." Bender rolled his eyes and put his chin on the top of her head
"I can write with my toes,'" Allison said randomly. "I can also eat, brush my teeth..." Claire looked mildly disgusted,"With your feet?"
".. play Heart and Soul on the piano." Brian piped in with, "I can make spaghetti."
Claire smiled and turned to Andrew, "What can you do?" "I can, uh, tape all your buns together, he replied awkwardly, "Mia, what about you?" Mia shrugged, "I can make a newspaper about you." She chuckled, Claire snorted
"I want to see what Claire can do," John said smugly , and Mia sighed knowing something is going to start up again.
Claire gaped for a split moment, "I can't do anything." "Now, everybody can do something" John protested "There's one thing I can do,"
Claire began, but then shook her head, "No, forget it. It's way too embarrassing. "You ever seen Wild Kingdom?" John asked, trying to get Claire to relax a little. "I mean, that guy's been doing that show for thirty years."
