Francis: I know this stuff cold! Here! Quiz me! Nate: Okay. 1785. Francis: 1785? Um... was that Shays' Rebellion? Nate: Nope. Francis: Hmmm... I was sure I knew all these. Uh.... the Northwest Ordinance? Nate: No. Francis: The Constitutional convention?.... The Whiskey Rebellion? Nate: Sorry. Francis: The Coinage Act?.... The Naturalization Act?.... The Congress?.... The Bill of Rights?? Nate: Nope. Francis: Well. WHAT IS IT?? Nate: It's the serial number on the back of this textbook! WA HA HA HA HA HA OH HO HO HO. (This must be why they call it "cramming."
