Transcript:
Caulfield: My speech is on how to cook a passenger pigeon. Mrs. Olsen: Caulfield, passenger pigeons have gone extinct. Caulfield: Really? You can just give me an A, then. Mrs. Olsen: No. Boy: Well, I don't think I should be penalized for working ahead. Mrs. Olsen: It didn't happen while you were writing. Frazz: It was a percentage shot. Caulfield: She can't find her keys, but she remembers some bird going toes-up in 1914.
