- [at the end of a class, Mary notices one student giggling]
- Dr. Mary Albright: And tomorrow, we'll work on Chapter Seven. Oh, and Kevin, I would appreciate it if you would not giggle every time I said 'homo erectus'.
- [Kevin leaves, still giggling]
- Nina: [later, in the office] What's the matter, Dr Albright?
- Dr. Mary Albright: I have the most immature class. We're studying Miocene Man, and I'm discussing the migration of homo erectus...
- [across the room Dick starts giggling]
- Dr. Mary Albright: ...and every time I say 'homo erectus'...
- [Dick begins laughing out loud]
- Dr. Mary Albright: ...they laugh, as if there was something funny about homo erectus.
- [Dick's laughter gets out of control]
- Dr. Mary Albright: What are you laughing at?
- Dr. Dick Solomon: Homo erectus isn't Miocene Man, he's Pleistocene Man!
- [he leaves, hysterical]
