• Mary Cherry : Okay, Popita, I made flash cards. Now, tell me what the word means 'cause we're being tested in Bio on definitions.

  [shows flash card with the word "Paramecium"] 

  Poppita 'Poppy' Fresh : Paramecium. Oh, that's a hard one. Is a... n algae-based...

  Mary Cherry : Whew! Sorry, ding-a-ling. It's a single cell. Moving on and praying hard for you...

  [shows next flash card with the words "Tom Ford] 

  Poppita 'Poppy' Fresh : [gasps]  I know this one. Gay, fabulously successful head designer for Gucci!

  Mary Cherry : Whoo! Ding ding ding! Very good.

  Nicole Julian : [surprised]  Okay, hi! That's not gonna be on the test.

  Mary Cherry : Well, it should be.

• Sam McPherson : Guys, come on, what should I do about this stolen test? Should I report it to Miss Glass?

  Carmen Ferrara : Sure, if you don't mind being a rat.

  Lily Esposito : [defensively]  Hey, watch your terms. You're reinforcing a stereotype for an entire species.

  Sam McPherson : Okay, you guys are not helping.

  [rises from cafeteria table] 

  Carmen Ferrara : Sam...

  [Sam leaves, with glaring looks from Mary Cherry and Poppy, while Brooke looks worried, and Nic disapproving] 

  Poppita 'Poppy' Fresh : I don't trust that little bee-atch. She's gonna bust us.

  Nicole Julian : What do you mean we, Kemo Sabe? You didn't cheat, remember?

  Sam McPherson : [camera switches over to another cafeteria table, where Carmen is giggling as Sam approaches]  Great news, you guys. Those Abercrombie and bitches are going down.

  Carmen Ferrara : What do you mean?

  Sam McPherson : The cheaters will be outed, the crooked curve will be repaired, and joy will be returned to Slinging Mudville.

  Lily Esposito : Do you guys realize we could all wind up getting B's?

  Carmen Ferrara : Oh my God, I love this.

• Nicole Julian : [filing her nails]  There's a Charlie's Angels marathon on cable tonight. I got to get the Farrah on, so let's make it quick, girls.

  Mary Cherry : [looking at Brooke sitting at another table]  Y'all, I so admire our Miss Brooke, even though I'm a little hurt she won't study with us, 'cause she says we talk like crows on a telephone pole.

  Poppita 'Poppy' Fresh : How does Brooke keep it together with all the stress she's under? I'm breaking out, and yet she's zit-free.

  Nicole Julian : Brookie is who she is, because she's so disciplined. In her whole life, she's never had a single stress zit, not one.

  Mary Cherry : God bless Brooke. And God bless meticulous skin care.
