Helen:
Quinn, how was your day?

Quinn:
It sucked! First my teacher gave my paper on Cleopatra's makeup don'ts an "F"; like he would know! Then my heel broke. Then, like, the day was almost over and only two guys had asked me out. Luckily, just before...

Helen:
Daria, *please* tell me about the project.

Daria Morgendorffer:
It's about how behavior is affected by positive or negative reinforcement.

Helen:
Sounds super!

Daria Morgendorffer:
Like... say, you have a friend who responds to everything you say with, "That's great!" This insincere reply is the same whether you saved a life or killed a bug, and thus becomes "negative reinforcement," causing you to withdraw from that person or persons.

Helen:
Wow. That's fantastic! [Daria rolls her eyes]
