//During a meeting of BIG (Blair Engineers' Guild) in Schwartz's room on a Friday afternoon *BIG people are talking, Schwartz is helping a student* *Rose walks in* Kevin: Hey look, it's Mr. Rose! Misha: Yeah, he wanders in like that. *Rose walks over to lost and found pile and takes a jacket* Rose: Hey Schwartz, can I borrow this? Schwartz: Sure, just bring it back. *Rose puts on the jacket* Kevin: It doesn't quite fit. Rose: It's better than the medium girls' coat in my room. *Notices a different jacket and puts it on instead* Rose: Ah! Much better! Schwartz: Just to make sure, you know this is a student's coat? I'm leaving at 4:30, so can you... Rose: Don't worry, I'll give it back to you when I come back. Schwartz: So like, before 4:30? Rose: Nah, like, on Monday. *Leaves* Schwartz: *Speaking to BIG people* If that doesn't make it onto blairbash, I will be very disappointed in all of you.

Schwartz: My precalc class [when I was in high school] was a waste of time. I was a freshman and everyone else was either a junior or a senior. It was *awful* until everyone figured out that if they gave me milkshakes I'd tell them if their answers were right.

Schwartz: "I can't do this problem because it's against my religion" is not a valid excuse on my tests. In my room, math is your religion.

//We're in complex, trying to define interior, exterior, and boundary points of regions in terms of "epsilon balls" and "punctured epsilon balls" (yes, these are real terms). //The class is going back and forth over which of the balls in which of the three definitions should be punctured. They ultimately decide that none of the balls should be punctured. Brian: Moral of the story: don't puncture your balls. //Later, Stein walks in because we're making a lot of noise Stein: This class is so loud. Schwartz: That's wonderfully ironic. [We can hear Stein's loud stat activities very clearly across the hall.] Stein: I'm trying to teach, and all I can hear is Arnold Mong yelling "balls, balls, balls!"
