TIME FOR BIFF AND CHIP... ON SAFARI! BIFF: D'day, mates! In Nature, Chip, "opposites attract!" CHIP: Right, Biff! Let's take a look at the unlikely friendship...between the lumbering 6th grade social studies teacher... BIFF: Or, in scientific jargon, Breathius Hideosa... CHIP: ...And the hyperactive eager-to-please Teacher's Pet! BIFF: "Boot-Lickius Obedientius." What makes this bizarre relationship work, Chip? CHIP: Biff, each of these creatures plays its role perfectly! The Teacher is a sluggish creature whose instinct is to do nothing! BIFF: ...while the Pet lives to do her bidding! Pet: Shoo, fly! BIFF: When she needs something done, he does it! When she needs something fetched, he fetches it! CHIP: Look at her! She barely has to move! BIFF: But why does the pet stay in such a one-soded relationship? CHIP: Indeed, Biff: what's in it for him? NATE: You make me sick.
