Cockroach:
Why do I need math? When I get older, I'm gonna inherit my dad's scrap-iron business.
Cliff:
You need math because you're gonna have to be able to count the pieces of metal as they come off the line.
Cockroach:
We have a foreman who does that.
Cliff:
Okay, you need math so you can count the money.
Cockroach:
We have an accountant who does that.
Cliff:
Then you're gonna be broke!
Cockroach:
No way!
Cliff:
If the foreman can count and the accountant can count and you can't, you're gonna be broke!
