// In physics class
Lawrence: Why do we use epsilon? K is so much better!
Dr. Dell: Take it back! Repeat after me: "epsilon naught is good, K is bad!"
Lawrence: No!
Dr. Dell: *Gets out some drill thing* I got this from Japan. It's a disciplinary device. You can't get it here 'cause it's illegal. *Puts it against a piece of paper, the paper lights on fire.*
Dr. Dell: SAY IT!! EPSILON NAUGHT IS GOOD!! K IS BAD!! -

// At the beginning of class
Struck: Oh, you guys have a physics test Thursday? What's it on?
Student: Gravitation...
Struck: Oh, well, me and Newton go way back... You know that whole apple thing?
Struck: I actually threw the apple at his head. So all those laws of gravity you know are wrong... -

// Discussing Thoreau in English with Mrs. O'Brien on the day of a physics test.
Mrs. O'Brien: You know, Thoreau says that he took a course in navigation, but that he never got into a boat.
Mrs. O'Brien: He says, "I may have learned a few physics equations related to navigation..."
Class: *moans*
Mrs. O'Brien: Oh, that was a terrible thing to say, wasn't it? -

// Discussing Problem Notebooks in AP Physics
Dr. Dell: Let me tell you the story of Susan Lee. In all her years in elementary school and middle school, she got straight A's. At Harvard, she got straight A's. At TJ, she got straight A's, except in my class. But she took away something very valuable -- her problem notebook. Word got around that she had this amazingly organized book of all the classic physics problems, and then random guys would go to her dorm to look at it.
Dr. Dell: So you see, your physics notebook can actually enhance your social life! -

// Students are talking while doing problems Dr. Walker assigned during class.
Student A: Hey, Dr. Walker, is it weird to see your students graduate? Or do you feel a sense of accomplishment? Like, "I helped that kid pass physics!"
Student B: Are you kidding? It's more like, "How'd I let that one get away?" -

// Dr. Dell has, once again, wandered off course during a lecture.
DrD: So when I get home, I go downstairs to the sauna in my basement, take off my clothes, and devise the cruelest, most sadistic problems I can for the problem sets. Then I rush out to type them up and email them out. -

// In AP Physics, after Dr. Dell wrote a problem on the board for the class to solve
Dr. Dell (writing on the board):
And the disciple said
"How the @#$! do you do this problem?"
And the master said
"Don't cuss at me you impudent fool."
And the disciple kicked him in the shin.
And the master said, "Okay, Okay! Superposition of ring fields!"
