Mallory Keaton : ...I'm in real trouble, Alex. I might not graduate.
Alex P. Keaton : Why not?
Mallory Keaton : For one thing, I'm flunking Mrs. Hillman's history class.
Alex P. Keaton : Wow... Is it hopeless, Mal? I mean, are you flunking badly?
Mallory Keaton : No, I'm flunking very well. In fact, on her last test, I may have pulled a "D".
Alex P. Keaton : Mal, how could you let this happen?
Mallory Keaton : I don't know. It's spring, and the weather's been great. I've had a hard time concentrating.
Alex P. Keaton : Mallory, Thomas Jefferson didn't stop thinking when the sun came out. He wrote the Declaration of Independence in *July*, while all the other Founding Fathers were at the beach.
Mallory Keaton : Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence...? There goes my "D".

Mallory Keaton : Mom, Don't yell at me. I feel bad enough already.
Elyse Keaton : Well, sometimes I have to yell at you. It's the only way I can get through to you these days. And besides it's my job to correct you if you make a mistake.
