[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]
