That's just way more work. I mean, imagine how much of your brain you're using to do it that way. You could be thinking about other things with all that thinking...like you could be thinking about...boys. Or pickles. [...] Y'know, I really like pickles. There's this deli that I go to, they just have so many pickles. Everytime I go there I just get lots of 'em...

//Stein is handing back a test on Infinite Series. Neel gets 100 (Meow!). Student: I didn't get the telescoping one... Neel: There was a telescoping series? I didn't notice. [Stein snatches Neel's test out of his hand.] I probably shouldn't have said that out loud... [Neel gets his test back with a score of 95.] Neel: -headdesk- //Later that class, Neel is tearing up his test. Stein (to Neel): What are you tearing up? ... Was that your test? [Neel nods] You have a final exam coming up in this class. You're going to need that to study. Why would you do that? Neel: To destroy evidence of my failings... Stein: What, did you get other stuff wrong? Neel: I dunno, I didn't look at it.
