especially... - (together): The olives!
- They divide up the twelve olives so we each get six.
- One, one.
- One!
- Two, two.
- Two!
- Three, three.
- Three!
- Four, four.
- Four?!
- And that's all?!
- Four isn't six!
- We can live without a couple of olives.
- (together): I'll live!
(Jesse and his mom laughing) - We have no idea what happened to the rest of the olives!
- (Peg and Cat): We've got a big problem!
- Every salad at Peg's Pizza Place has twelve olives.
When it's just Jesse and his mom, they divide the olives two ways.
- So they each get one, two, three, four, five, six.
- But today they're dividing the olives three ways, because of Sam.
- So they each get one, two, three, four.
- Whoa!
- If they were dividing them four ways, they'd each get three.
- So the more parts you divide stuff into, the fewer each person gets.
Thanks, Ramone.
- I do what I can.
- We'll explain that they each get fewer olives because they brought an extra person.
