Phil: Are you on page 12 yet? What are you doing?
Marla: Scrapbookin'. This one's gonna go right on the cover of my Phil Diffy edition.
Phil: Marla, the poetry test is on Friday. Okay? So we really need to buckle down. You see, buckle down is a metaphor for studying. And a metaphor is...
Marla: A comparison. But a simile is a comparison usin' the words "like" or "as."
Phil: Ms. Phipps is as crusty as a piece of toast.
Marla: (Laughs)
Ms. Phipps: Shh!
Marla: And you are as funny as a mule in a bow tie.
Tia: Ah ah ah...Phil, whatever you do, don't try to make her laugh.
Phil: I wasn't trying to make you laugh. I was just...Trying to give you an example of a simile. Are you on page 12 yet?
Marla: Almost. Want a piece?
Phil: Sure.
Keely: These are the rules, Phil. No matter what you do, don't take anything from her. Gum, mints, nuts of any kind--it all means one thing...Commitment.
Phil: Really?
Marla: Really what?
Phil: I'm really not interested in nuts, mints, gum of any kind.
Ms. Phipps: Shh!
Marla: All right.
