Season 2 (1990-1991)

"Bart Gets an 'F'"

On the school bus, Bart teaches fellow fourth grader Martin how to be less of a pushover

Bart: Only geeks sit in the front seat.  From now on, you sit in the back row.  And that's not just on the bus, it goes for school and church, too.

Martin: Why?

Bart: So no one can see what you're doing!

Martin: Oh, I think I understand.  The potential for mischief varies inversely with one' proximity to the authority figure.

[Martin writes a mathematical statement to this effect and shows it to Bart.

Bart: Well, yeah,, but don't say it like that!

"Dead Putting Society"

At the mini-golf course, Lisa helps Bart improve his game.

Lisa: The basis of this game seems to be simple geometry.

[She measures some distances with a measuring tape and points to a spot at a curb.]

Lisa: All you have to do is hit the ball here.

[Bart swings his putter and hits the ball where Lisa indicated.  It rebounds off several curbs and he makes a hole-in-one.]

Bart: I can’t believe it.  You actually found a practical use for geometry.

"Blood Feud"

Lisa plays with Maggie, using a flashcard with a geometric figure and its name on it.

Lisa: Ooh, look, Maggie.  What is that?  Dodecahedron.  Dodecahedron.
