Her competition for Scott and the bonus is cheery and tightly wound Amy. Amy digs for dirt on Elizabeth who cheats her way toward Scott's bed and the money.

told me about this upcoming fake breasts job.

Sorry... sorry I thought you were telling everyone.

Did you?

Well i'm prochoice, i believe everyone should choose

whatever makes them happiest..

Except abortion, of course.

Of course.

- Of course.

Looks like algebra is calling.

I hate math. Wish me luck.

Hi, I'm a math terrortist

with close ties to algebra

I have weapons of

maths instruction

Here, i'll walk you.

- Man..Everyone is so nice around here.

Of course, hey watch my quadrant!

Here you go.. 1%... Surprise!

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Halsey.

Any questions?

Hi, I'm Sashas mother.

I am a little concerned at the importance you're

placing on movies.

i was just wondering whats your plans

were for the state test?

Listen, the school hired me because...

i'm amazing at what i do

i used movies as one of my tools

but i also use a variety of

other multimedia techniques

Listen, i could take you day by day through

my entire syllabus, but that's not just how i do things.

So "if I play it" as the Jews say.

Please, help yourself to some

delicious snacks and drinks in the back.

Class dismissed.

- Excuse me, Miss Halsey.

Hi, i'm Morgans dad.

Morgan.

Great kid, so precautious.

- I just wish Morgan's grades were reflected.

If i know Morgan, and i think i do.

ah!...Morgan will get there.

Listen, i'm sure you have full paid

along with a rocking hot body.

But if you could just keep an eye on Morgan?

My wife and I would really appreciate it.

For supplies and whatever.

Supplies??

You're Chase's parents?

You know a student like Chase would

benefit so much from some extra attention?

So you think we should hire a tutor?

You know i'd be happy to do it myself,

but its just so hard with a class of 20..

- to be a teacher?

God, it is so hard on my salary

to have to pay for my own supplies

and my fiance, he cheated on me with his sister

as your personal tutor, i guarantee

personally that she will get an A.

Or your money back

Say no more.

Make it out to cash.

Scott

Scott

Amy, hi.

- Hi, I got you something.

What? you dont have to do that.

- It's nothing, its my favorite book.

Eat, Pray, Love?

This is my favourite book too.

What's your favourite part?

- Love.

What do you want?

- Is that marijuana?

No, it's medical marijuana.

I dont wanna run for congress.

I wanna be President.

See, that's what i'm talking about.

You really wanna be a President

or is that something your parents want?

Look you don't have to decide right now.

Then who knows one day you wakeup

you decide you want to be a missus.

Salary plus tips.

Think about it.

If i think about it,

Will i get extra credit?

Hopeless.

Watch your feet.

This is indeed a winter wonderland.

Wanna get high?

- Yeaaah.
