• Mr. Turkentine : I've just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the test we take each Friday on what we learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we've learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest. Pencils ready!

• Mr. Turkentine : Of course you don't know. You don't know because only *I* know. If you knew and I didn't know, then you'd be teaching me instead of me teaching you - and for a student to be teaching his teacher is presumptuous and rude. Do I make myself clear?

• Mr. Turkentine : Charlie Bucket, how many did you open?

  Charlie : Two.

  Mr. Turkentine : That's easy. 200 is twice 100...

  Charlie : Not 200, just two.

  Mr. Turkentine : Two? What do you mean you only opened two?

  Charlie : I don't care very much for chocolate.

  Mr. Turkentine : Well, I can't figure out just two! So let's pretend you opened 200. Now, if you opened 200 Wonka bars, apart from being dreadfully sick, you'd have used up 20% of 1,000, which is 15% half over again, 10%...
