  Shoop : Kevin, from a 48 to a 75!

  Shoop : Pam went from a 53 to an 82.

  Pam : Was that the highest?

  Shoop : Well, almost. That guy who spent six weeks in the bathroom got a 91. But look, there's more going on here than test scores and grades. You all worked hard and improved.

  Shoop : Perfect! Now, you're going to write that company a letter, and you're going to see action, but only if the letter is well written... and it threatens to hurt their business... and is signed- forgive me Chainsaw- Francis Gremp, President: Consumer Against Faulty Eyewear.
