[Joan, Adam, and Grace are studying]

Joan:
What should we do first?

Grace:
Ask your brother for the answers.

Joan:
To be humble you have to be proud.

Adam:
Wait, arent those opposites?

Grace:
Ah, ask him ask him. [Luke just walked in]

Joan:
No, no lets just break it down ok. Is there a chemical formula for twigs?

Adam:
Uh [from the top of is head] Cellulose is c6h12o6 [Joan drops her pencil in shock] Uh, I have an eidetic memory.

Joan:
Whats that?

Luke:
Photographic.

Grace:
[talking about Adam] He can barely remember his name.

Adam:
Listen, I know a lot, I just cant put it all together.

Joan:
Ok, what about a chemical equation for fire?

Grace:
Wood doesnt actually burn.

Joan:
Thats insane.

Grace:
What burns is the gas released when the wood gets hot. Therefore the reaction would have to be gasification, through oxidation reduction, then combustion.

Luke:
It is so hot that you know that.

Adam:
[to Grace] Dude, are you smart?

Grace:
Just because I refute the whole formal schooling equals knowledge crap doesnt mean Im stupid.

Adam:
Nice.

Joan:
Ok, so what about gas. [Joan looks at Adam]

Adam:
Cha, like I know.

Grace:
And Rainman back to underpants.
