Quotes 

• [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]
