Favorite Excerpt from a film

My favorite excerpt is from the film Waterboy with Adam Sandler. In the movie Waterboy if you have not seen it Bobby Boucher is the main character. Bobby Boucher is a total mama's boy and believes anything that his mother tells him. In my favorite scene Bobby is in a college class and attempts to answer a question.
Teacher: Now, is there anybody here that can tell me why most alligators are abnormally aggressive? Anyone? Yes sir, you sir.
Bobby: (stands up)Mama says that alligators are ornery ‘cause they got all them teeth but no tooth brush. (class laughs)
Other student: ... because they have an enlarged medulla oblongata.
Teacher: That is correct. ... medulla, ob-lon-ga-ta! Now, is there anybody here that can tell me where happiness comes from? Anyone? Alright, let’s hear what Mama has to say on the subject.
Bobby:(stands up again) Mama say that happiness is from magic rays of sunshine that come down when you’re feeling blue.
Teacher: Well folks, Mama’s wrong again.
Bobby: No Colonel Sanders, you’re wrong. (class laughs) Mama’s right.
Teacher: (Bobby runs to the door) Something’s wrong with his medula oblongata!
