You Can't Do That on Television1979

[Mr. Schidtler turns his classroom into a game show]

Mr. Schidtler:
Welcome to MONEY FOR MARKS! Hey, this is the game we all play and we all win. Everyone goes home HAPPY! Here's how the game works: You come up with the correct cash and you could walk outta here with a GREAT REPORT CARD! Let's not delay. Let's get right to the old report card bin and select today's contestant. Oh, this is a dandy. Listen to this: D in math; we have two F's in geography and history and lots of unimpressive C's. It's no TV and you're grounded for this term if Mom and Dad see this one. Sound familiar? Uh-huh? Because it's yours - Christine McGlade! Christine McGlade, come onnnnnnnn up!

[Christine screams wildly, jumped up and down in hysterics and runs to the front of the class, kissing Mr. Schidtler in her excitement]

Mr. Schidtler:
Oh. Oh. All right. I mean, now-now-now-now. This just could be your lucky day if you can correctly estimate what I'm demanding as a bribe for this next report card package without going under it.

Announcer:
[a voiceover from nowhere] Yes, Christine, you can forget those angry looks from Dad when you show him a crisp, new B in biology. And don't forget Mom. She'll be pleased when she sees an A in math. Wait! Wait! That's not all! You're NOT grounded, the TV is back on, but what about a raise in your allowance? It could happen when you show them two A's in geography and history!

[Christine screams, overcome with emotion]
