T-Rex: Sometimes you have a bunch of things and would like to know precisely how many things you have! If only there was a way to do this. If onl--
T-Rex: WAIT A MINUTE.
Narrator: LET'S TALK ABOUT MATH
Narrator: without using numbers
T-Rex: Math is a thing we invented that lets us talk about precise quantities of things! And this is NOT an invention unique to us. Birds count too, but only for a little while and then they lose track. After that they're like "eh, it's a bunch of things, nobody can truly say how many things there are but it's DEFINITELY more than a few, p.s. I am a LITERAL BIRD so this is still really impressive".
Utahraptor: This is just counting though! COUNTING ISN'T MATH.
T-Rex: Oh, boo hoo!
T-Rex: You know who says "counting isn't math"? MATHEMATICIANS. They're like, "oh adding and subtracting from a count is for some reason different than REAL math, which is of course what *I* do". They're just mad that birds do math too and they only found that out AFTER they got their degree.
T-Rex: MATHEMATICIANS: I AM CALLING YOU OUT!!
Off panel: No mathematicians are nearby, T-Rex.
T-Rex: MATHEMATICIANS: I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE, I JUST REALLY LIKE BIRDS
