// Avallone is reviewing efficiency
Avallone: Remember, all temperature must be in Kelvins. Don't leave it in Celsius.
Student 1: Yeah, we're not in Chemistry.
Avallone: I would think that even in Chemistry they would use Kelvin.
Student 1: No, actually they use Celsius.
Student 2: Yeah, well Chemistry sucks.
Student 1: I know Chemistry sucks.
Avallone: Okay, no need to argue about which class sucks. If we did that we would be here all day. -

Mr. Avallone: But...I'm not going to write anything on the board because it might be wrong. -

Student: Wait, you are hosting a fabulous party without inviting me.
Mr. Avallone: Well I only have 6.1 kg so the guest list has to be pretty small. -

Mr. Avallone: Ok, I'm putting a bunch of pink arrows next to the N so you remember that the newtons here represent the mass.
Mr. Avallone: I'm also drawing a magical flying narwhal wearing a jetpack that's pointing to the N.
Mr. Avallone: There, that should make you remember. -

Mr. Avallone: There's an entire floor of this building dedicated to teaching you how to stupidly plug numbers into equations -- it's called the Math Department.
Mr. Avallone: There's yet another floor that teaches you how to memorize meaningless facts, just one floor below us. [points down]
