Phil of the Future, Season 1

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.
