Transcript:
Calvin: Great! Just great! Mom lets us stay up half an hour longer to finish this paper. How am I supposed to do a good job in so little time?! Hobbes: Your mom says you wasted the whole evening. Calvin: But now she's making me do a rushed, slipshod job! I'll have to compromise the quality! I won't get the "A" I deserve! Hobbes: Especially since you've used up 15 minutes complaining about it. Calvin: I'll tell the teacher it's my mom's fault.
