You have class tonight?

Yeah, right.

It's Thursday. Yeah.

Will you be home right after?

Honey, I'll try.

I just don't know.

I may have to stay after.

I'll get home as soon as I can,

but don't wait up.

You just go to bed,

and I'll slip in quietly.

You lying son of a b*tch.

How could you?

Mom?

You OK? What's the matter?

Oh, it's the mailman.

He said he'd be here at 8:00,

and he's not here.

Nobody keeps their word anymore.

They're all lying bastards!

Hi, Michael. How you doing?

My mother's in there crying.

I hope you're happy.

Mom.

Everything's OK, Mom.

I don't think

he's going to be late again.

Thank you, Michael.

- Hello, Elizabeth.

- Hi, George.

Oh, George, could I borrow

your textbook for a second?

Tonight, we're going to cover

the two types of costs...

...associated with

manufacturing processes.

That would be "variable"

and "fixed. "

There's a chart

in your textbooks on page 98...

...that will help illustrate

what I'm talking about.

Everyone have the page?

You'll notice on the graph that

the variable contributions...

...to profit on each item

will be such...

...that the break-even point

will be obtained...

...when "x" number of units

are produced.

Now, that break-even point...

...is solely determined

by your costs.

Now, variable costs include

direct material, direct labor...

...and overhead applicable

to each individual unit.

Who in the class would like

to define "fixed costs" for us?

No one wants to define

"fixed costs?"

Michael, over here.

Toni, I'm sorry I'm late,

just...

...writing this thing

just took forever.

I don't know.

I think it's pretty good.

I don't know.

just give it to her.

What's that?

Oh, that's just the thing

for School Afloat.

You're gonna spend

your senior year on a boat?

I leave on the fifteenth.

I didn't know you were gonna

do this. Why didn't you tell me?

I just did.

- Ready to order?

- Yeah, I am. Michael?

No, no, no, I'm too nervous.

I couldn't eat anything.

You go ahead.

I'll have a meatball sandwich

and another Pepsi.

- Good enough.

- Oh, wait a minute.

I'll have a Pepsi, too.

Pepsi. Anything else?

No, no. Well, uh...

...you're having

a meatball sandwich?

Make it a meatball sandwich.

Meatball sandwich.

That's two meatball sandwiches

and two Pepsis. Is that it?

You don't feel like having

any pizza, do you?

Give me a small-

No, no, no, make it a medium.

In fact, give me a large pizza.

That's two meatball sandwiches,

two Pepsis...

...and a large pizza.

Everything on it?

No, no, just cheese.

And olive.

And mushrooms.

And sausage.

Everything.

Hold the onions.

God, when are you gonna

give this thing to her?

Are you going
