But for the sake of Accidental Sexiness it works great! I actually had a clip of Steve Carell introducing the new New Kids on the Block on the Top 40 radio show where he says they were so BIG blah blah blah and in the background of the recording I said, “That’s what she said”. I didn’t realize I had my mic on…lol

I am addicted to that line. I blame Michael Scott!

Again, THANKS a million!

INT. LECTURE HALL – DAY

COLLEGE STUDENTS sit in a huge classroom: some are paying attention while others try to stay awake. Front and center stands PROF. WERNER HIGGINBOTHAM(late 30s, curly hair, bowtie and glasses, goofy-looking).

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM
As you can see, all throughout the annals –

SNICKERING as some of the Students attempt to laugh discreetly, while others glare. The Professor stops for a second, glares, then continues. . .

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM(Cont’d).
-of history, conflict has been a constant. When Washington crossed Valley Forge, there was conflict. When Lincoln was faced with HOW to resolve the Civil War, there was conflict. When Kennedy had to calm citizens of this great country during the Cuban Missile Crisis, there was conflict. That’s one thing that will always exist, no matter what time period we’re in – you will always have some sort of conflict. Now, you can use it to thrust you into greatness, or you can-

An INTERRUPTION as someone rushes into the room, in the back.

ANOTHER ANGLE

SAM WITWICKY comes through the door, quickly, trying to discreetly settle into the class.

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM(Cont’d.)
- surrender, and allow it to thrust you into mediocrity, much like Mr. Witwicky here.

LAUGHTER ERUPTS as many of the Students laugh and point at Sam.

SAM WITWICKY
Sorry I’m late, Professor.

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM
So nice of you to join us, Mr. Witwicky. Class, as you can see, Mr. Witwicky here –

ANOTHER ANGLE
As Sam and a familiar face, SHIGE (Asian, Sam’s roommate) exchange a glance, while Sam sits down.

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM(Cont’d.)
-is a perfect example of conflict, as he’s always conflicting with the concept of time. But instead of using conflict to his advantange, he is, sadly, sucumbing to it. Don’t be like Mr. Witwicky.

Slightly pissed off, Sam gets in his two cents. . .

SAM WITWICKY
I said I was sorry, Sir.

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM
Yes, Mr. Witwicky, when it comes to your time-telling ability, the Swiss would be in mourning.

SAM WITWICKY
Excuse me, Sir.

Sam takes something out of his bag and shows it. . .

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM
Oh, what do we have here?

SAM WITWICKY
What do we have here? I’ll tell you. This, Ladies and Gents, is my Mechanical Engineering project, and it’s going to revolutionize the world. It’s got tons of bells and whistles in it, and I stayed up all night working on it to perfect it, so that I could get it done by classtime, which is right after Prof. HIGH-N-MIGHTY’s class here.

LAUGHTER.

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM
Oh, very impressive. If you applied the same effort to my History class, I’d appreciate it greatly.

SAM
And if you would give me a break, I would appreciate that!

PROF. HIGGINBOTHAM
Tell, me, Mr. Witwicky, when it comes to being on time, why is it so hard?

A moment of akward silence, as Sam looks around. He and Shige again exchange glances. Shige grins, trying to hold in some inside joke both of them share. Sam turns back to the Professor, grins, and ANSWERS:

SAM
Prof., THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!

LAUGHTER AGAIN.
