Ryan: So yeah, I got an internship offer.

Aaron: Awesome! Now all you have to do is pass your classes…. unless you care about the widow’s mite.

David Moss: "Okay, let me tell you another one related to death.  So there I was..."

It's like Christmas!

Poor baby Mario

Mario Ruiz: "I'm teething."

Not what you want to hear from your professors

Professor:  You don't really see this much from me because I'm a nice little love machine up here...

What's the saying about a broken clock always being right twice?

Professor's response to a student's incorrect answer: "YES!  That's the right answer...to a different question."

Two from Tara

Tara Hair:  I love pillows.  I would live in a padded room if I could!
Chris DuBois:  Well...  that seems like a possibility.

Tara: Was Gidget that surfer movie with Sally Ride?
Chris:  Yeah, it was called Gidget, but I'm pretty sure Sally Ride exploded in the Challenger.

(Note:  Sally Ride wasn't on the Challenger, making this just a comedy of errors)
