NATE: 41 hour, 16 minutes and 28 seconds of freedom left. CELEBRITY INTERVIEW! with your host: Chip Chipson! CHIP: It's back to school time, folks so let's talk to an actual school...P.S. 38!! PS: Hi, Chip. CHIP: You da man, P.S.! PS: Actually I'm a building but that okay. CHIP: So...excited about the start of classes? PS: Excited? Chip Chip Chip... I was built in 1913. I've gone through this back-to-school thing nearly ninety times! The thrill is gone, my friend. BIFF: YOU sound tired, P.S. PS: I'm exhausted! Even during summer vacation I'm busy with make-up classes, sports camps, "bingo" nights...My dream is to get converted to luxury condominiums and retire peacefully. BIFF: Meaning there's talk of building a new school to replace you? PS: Sadly, no. But there may be another way. If enough parents are willing to do it! NATE: Dad, let's discuss home schooling. DAD: Let's not.
Actually, it is later admitted that P.S 38 was built in 1918.
