Clips from The Great North - You've Got Math Adventure (S02E02)

"and she chased me off the property with a knife."
The Great North
"- Sounds like Mom. - Anyway, I'll drop you guys back at your car."
The Great North
"What's going on in that little bear brain, Moon?"
The Great North
"Well, I'm super glad Dad's my dad,"
The Great North
"but if genetics aren't the reason that I'm failing math,"
The Great North
"then I'm just the stupid one of the family."
The Great North
"That's not what it means. What it means"
The Great North
"is you're just different from your family,"
The Great North
"and that's not a bad thing."
The Great North
"You know who else is different from their family?"
The Great North
"Shania Twain? The Incredible Hulk?"
The Great North
"- Me. - And you're great."
The Great North
"Yeah, I am. And you're not dumb."
The Great North
"In fact, you were talking all kinds of math"
The Great North
"about that zip line. I think outdoor stuff is your in, Moon."
The Great North
"Huh. Yeah. I guess you're right."
The Great North
"I didn't get nervous thinking about that rope."
The Great North
"But when the numbers are just numbers on paper,"
The Great North
"I get freaked out."
The Great North
"I know I'm gonna fail that make-up test tomorrow."
The Great North
"Remember when I said I'm a big ideas person?"
The Great North
"I just had another one, and it's almost as good as turtletinis."
The Great North
"I don't know if turtletinis are for turtles"
The Great North
"or if they have a little turtle in 'em, but it'll come to me."
The Great North
"Thank you for letting Moon take his make-up test"
The Great North
"out here, Mrs. Hill. I think"
The Great North
"you'll see that this is where he really shines."
The Great North
"I'm only doing this 'cause Gibbons said he would"
The Great North
"give me a week off to go on my Metallica cruise."
The Great North
"Moon, how old was that tree?"
The Great North
"I see 72 two rings."
The Great North
"Which means it was 72 two years old."
The Great North
"And if I had four of these trees, how many years"
The Great North
"would they have collectively been alive?"
The Great North
"Two hundred and eighty eight."
The Great North
"Okay. And what if we chop that tree down"
The Great North
"to build a fire that lasts four hours and three logs"
The Great North
"burn an hour-- how many logs do we need?"
The Great North
"- Twelve. - Now imagine we get trapped out here"
The Great North
"and need to eat Mrs. Hill to stay alive."
The Great North
"Estimating her height as five nine,"
The Great North
"and assuming we're gonna eat about five inches per day,"
The Great North
"how many days until we run out of teacher meat?"
The Great North
"Well, we would probably start on her legs, so..."
The Great North
"Okay, you can stop. I've heard enough."
The Great North
"Moon, you clearly understand math in this setting,"
The Great North
"and I will adjust your grade to just barely passing."
The Great North
"Yeah! I kicked math's ass. And for the record,"
The Great North
"we could probably survive on Mrs. Hill's meat"
The Great North
"for about 13 days, provided we eat the eyes."
The Great North
"We just have to make this old snow machine"
The Great North
"more enticing as the moose's baby."
The Great North
"We begin by covering the infant in salt."
The Great North
"I recorded some baby moose sounds from the Internet"
The Great North
"and then added a little of my own flair."
The Great North
"And I'll swaddle up this little snow machine in my baby blanket."
The Great North
"Everyone ready?"
The Great North
"He doesn't seem interested."
The Great North
"What if we put the snow machine"
The Great North
"inside a little pumpkin, you know,"
The Great North
"- like those baby calendars? - Give it a minute."
The Great North
"There he goes. Oh, papa Moose has left the building."
The Great North
"BEEF The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon."
The Great North
"Little boy blue and the something, something"
The Great North
"and I forget the lyrics."
The Great North
"Hey, Dad."
The Great North
"Hey, son. Ready for tuck-in?"
The Great North
"You bet. How did the moose debacle end?"
The Great North
"I saw the van is back to being an orphan."
The Great North
"Yeah. There's a powerful bond between a father and child."
The Great North
"It's like us. But no one--"
The Great North
"and I mean no one, son-- is gonna trick me"
The Great North
"into trading you for an old snow machine."
The Great North
"Dad, I have something to show you."
The Great North
"I hid the report cards. I'm sorry."
The Great North
"I didn't want you to see my math grade."
The Great North
"But Honeybee helped me study and I passed my make-up test today."
The Great North
"I'm sure glad she did that, because I probably"
The Great North
"- wouldn't have been much help. - You wouldn't?"
The Great North
"I've hid it pretty well, but I've never been"
The Great North
"any good at math. Sorry you inherited that from me."
The Great North
"That's okay, Dad. I kind of like that I did."
The Great North
"At least you didn't get my extra-long second toe."
The Great North
"It's true. Mine are all the same size,"
The Great North
"like a little spice rack."
The Great North
"But Moon, if you ever do need anything,"
The Great North
"I'm always here to help. Or at least to try."
The Great North
"Okay. I need"
The Great North
"a TenPoint Vapor RS70 Crossbow Package, please."
The Great North
"Ha! Those are $4,000. How about a hug instead?"
