Sure, ms. Williams.

Oh, no.
Was I over-participating?

I am so sorry, ms. Williams.
It won't happen again.

you liked math that much.

Oh, I know what's happening.
45
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:52,377

Yeah. Probably.

So, I was just talking to olive,
69
00:02:55,776 --> 00:02:57,910
and she mentioned that
you invited her to join
70
00:02:57,995 --> 00:02:59,444

71
00:02:59,547 --> 00:03:01,780
Yes. We want to get

in high school.

Uh-huh.

Totally get it. So,
75
00:03:06,804 --> 00:03:09,788
I was just wondering
if you were planning
on inviting me
76
00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:10,889
to join the class.
77
00:03:10,958 --> 00:03:12,591

You've got a solid
b-plus average.
81
00:03:19,016 --> 00:03:21,350
But this new class
is gonna be very challenging.
82
00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:24,403
Ms. Williams, there's something
you should know about me.

I rise to the occasion.

Are you sure?
86
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:33,946
Because it's gonna move
pretty fast.

Fast is my only speed.

If it doesn't work out,

you can always go back
to regular math.

You won't have to
worry about that, ms. Williams.

professor cutie may not
have all the answers,

he checks all the boxes.
177

Here you go, math superstars.
178
00:07:22,726 --> 00:07:24,593
Thanks, dad.
And, of course
this doesn't mean that
179

00:15:35,385 --> 00:15:38,035
She'll think it's sweet
that you tried skating
just to be with her.
