Andalite Professor: And that is how Sario Rips work...Aximili, stop staring at Edriss and pay attention.
Ax: Professor, when are we ever going to use this stuff in real life?
Andalite Professor: Well, what if you're in a situation when you're sent back through time, vis a Sario Rip?
Ax: Ha! Like that would actually happen.
Andalite Professor: You never know when the things you learn in school will come in handy in battle.
Ax: Mhmm.
Andalite: Alright...Now, continuing on with everything you need to know about how to get rid of Yeerks, free hosts, get rid of Helmacrons, reverse the shrinking capabilities of Helmacrons, free oneself from nothlitism, and how to master time travel...Aximili, stop staring at the bumbleweed!
(Much later, after Ax lands on Earth)
Jake: AX! WE NEED BACK UP! How do we difuse the bomb!
Ax: I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION IN SCHOOL! IF ONLY I LISTENED TO MY TEACHER!
