completely ignores me it makes him so

much hotter what are you talking about

he totally ignored me and I don't think

he's hot at ah now I see it now I'm

seeing

it hey Ethan don't you you love

literature it's so uninhibited like me

after a couple

beers good afternoon everyone I'm

Professor

Guggenheim wait is there another G or is

it I'm Professor Baxter and you'll be

respecting me this semester what are you

doing I went to talk to the dean One Lie

led to another and he asked me to teach

this class you can't teach quiet plays

you may have thought this class was

about literature you were wrong this

class is about life electric word life

it means forever and that's a mighty

long time but I'm here to tell you

there's something else my office hours

they're Tuesday from 1:00 to

3 must plunge into the pool of life but

ask yourself will you jack knife or

Cannonball wow he's can just I'm going

to wait 30 minutes did you see that

Haley they respect me Roger your lecture

today was just a bunch of idealistic

nonsense oh really you just earned

yourself a week of detention there's no

detention in college oh right well then

I'm taking away 50 points from

Gryffindor oh sorry I'm I'm interrupting

no just a lively exchange of ideas I I

just wanted to tell you how inspiring

you are Professor it's like I've been

asleep my whole life and now I'm finally

awake oh I'm awake too totally awake

it's like I'm on crank I'm so awake

exactly H you want to get some coffee

and talk about Professor Baxter's ideas

sounds great later professor

I pretend to teach them but it's really

they who pretend to teach

me it's a simple lesson to be learned

from whatever book I'm teaching you

about and it's this follow your heart

and get rid of anything that stands in

the way of your

dreams all right assignment people buy

Moby Dick and tear it up by Monday I

know some of you aren't ring up your

homework like I ask don't complain to me

when you can't rip up your midterm Roger

how'd you come up with that lecture I

just stitched together a little Mr

Holland a little Dead Poets and the rest

is just lies well keep up that follow

your heart crap I think Ethan's really

loosening up Professor I was wondering

if you'd like to come to dinner at my

home Haley you should join us

too Haley just so we're clear you're

only coming because you got caught in

the gravity of my invite I was so

invited that it invited everything

around it

Professor Haley shrimp GRE air

puff oh Ethan you should be a professor

of food thanks I've always wanted to

cook but my father never supported me

but now you've inspired me that's why I

became a professor Ethan to inspire

people Inspire them to respect me oh and

you know how you told us to make a

change for the better well took your

advice and stabbed my father 38

times Daddy

Daddy not eating isn't going to bring

him back

moonl becomes you I'm thrilled at the

S and I could get so

romantic toight

Roger tell him we want to get the hell

out of here uh Ethan it's been a lovely

evening but I have a faculty meeting in

the morning no you can't leave we need

to seize the day like you said and if we

don't then life isn't worth living for

any of us I'll go get

Pictionary let's just make a run for

it oh finally my ear popped
