Lisa: I don't know. You?
(The class laughs with Lisa)
Miss Hoover: Lisa, if you'd bothered to do the assignment, you'd know the answer is... (flips to the answers) The Battle of New Orleans. I mean, Andrew Jackson.
Lisa: Well, you're earning your eighteen grand a year.
Mrs. Krabappel: Children, I know this is highly irregular, but for the rest of the uh, day, Martin will be teaching this class.
Martin: I will? But I wouldn't know where to begin.
Mrs. Krabappel: Just do it, brainiac!
Bart: Seymour, I'll bet you a steak dinner those books are still here. All we have to do is search every locker.
Skinner: Oh, Bart, I'm not sure random locker searches are permitted by the Supreme Court.
Bart: Pfffffft. Supreme Court. What have they done for us lately?
Skinner: Let's move.
(Lisa is sent to Skinner's office by Miss Hoover.)
Skinner: I have never seen a good student take such a tumble. Lisa, what are you rebelling against?
Lisa: What do you got?
Lisa: (serving detention with clapping erasers clean) Stupid Hoover, she wouldn't be so smart without her teacher's edition!
(Lisa gets an idea and steals Hoover's Teachers Edition as well as many others and hides them in her locker! She walks away snickering as the teachers' lack of education is exposed.
