What is the quote...I believe it's from Grift of the Magi, in regards to the money made off of Funzo - where someone is telling Lisa that a percentage of profit was given to the school, then Lisa asks how much, and the reply is zero. Zero is a percentage...something like that?

Someone said that a few days ago it was something like:

A percentage of it is made from recycled paper

Lisa: How much percent

Zero

Lisa puts on angry face

Zero's a percent.

Speaking of exact quotes, isn't that the same exact question you asked a few days ago?

Did it post twice? I had thought I'd posted it a few days ago, but for some reason when I searched for it I couldn't find it at all, so I tried again today. Sorry if it showed up twice.

You've actually mixed up two quotes. One part is:

Newspaper staffwoman: "And to protect mother earth, each copy contains a certain percent of recycled paper."

Lisa: "And what percent would that be?"

NS: "Zero.... zero's a percent!"

The other quote is:

Jim Hope (Kid First Industries employee): "Funzo is the first toy designed by children, for children, with all the profits going to children."

Lisa: "Really?"

JH: "Well, we're all somebody's children...."
