NEIL: [Reading from the notebook] "Prick is a wonker. Signed, the rest of the class."
RICK: Ah, yes, now, that was a sort of "in joke" that we had in my form. Actually, I was incredibly popular and everyone thought I was great.
NEIL: "...I agree with the rest of the class. Signed, Teacher."
RICK: Just test me on the stuff, will you? [Indicating a different page] There!
NEIL: Alright, alright, don't get uncool and heavy. "Crop rotation in the 14th century..."
RICK: Right. [reciting] "Crop rotation in the 14th century was much more widespread..."
NEIL: "Considerably".
RICK: What?
NEIL: It's "considerably more widespread", not "much more".
RICK: Well?
NEIL: Well, you said, "do it properly."
RICK: Well, not that much, you stupid bloody hippie!
NEIL: You said, "do it properly and don't skip bits!" How was I to know that wasn't important?
RICK: Well it wasn't important, alright? Shall we just get on and stop wasting time like this? Right. "Crop rotation in the 14th century was _considerably_ more widespread...after..." God, I know this...don't tell me..."after 1172." [Neil is s ilent] Well, was I right?
NEIL: No, but I didn't think it was important.
RICK: Well, what was it, then?
NEIL: You just said not to tell you.
RICK: I bloody well did not!
NEIL: Yes you did! You said, "Don't tell me" just before you said, "1172."
RICK: But I only meant for a minute!
NEIL: What, a minute from now, or a minute from then?
RICK: Look, just shut up and tell me the answer!
NEIL: Shut up AND tell you the answer?
RICK: JUST TELL ME THE ANSWER!
NEIL: John.
RICK: Thank you..."John"?
NEIL: Yeah, "John" is the answer.
RICK: "Crop rotation in the 14th century was considerably more widespread after John?
NEIL: "...Lloyd invented the patent crop rotator."
RICK: Oh, yes, I knew it, I bloody knew it!
NEIL: You didn't, you didn't, you said "1172"! That's not a bit like "John".
RICK: [hysterical] You spiteful bastard, Neil! Just because you've done loads and loads of work for this, just because you're a creepy little swot you've done about 15 million tons of work for this, like a girl, and I'm so hard and street and cool that I've done absolutely bugger all, and you've done loads, look at it, loads and loads, loads and loads... [he starts making a mess of Neil's papers]
NEIL: Stop it, Rick! It's only University Challenge, Rick, it's only University Challenge!
