Bad Teacher Page #5

Synopsis: When her wealthy fiancé breaks it off, gold digger Elizabeth Halsey returns to middle school: she's an awful teacher but wants to save for breast-implant surgery. She brightens when Scott, a new teacher, turns out to be rich, and she stops showing films and sleeping in class when told there's a bonus for the teacher whose class scores highest on the state exam. 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. Honesty with students seems to be her only skill. She ignores Russell, a droll gym teacher, who looks on. Will she succeed with Scott and get those new breasts?

I don't know, it's just not me..

It's good to know there's still some

actual educators out there

What else, Sasha?

- I think I've told you everything.

Anyone know where Danny Morebox is?

- Any more movies in class?

No, we're actually learning. Hey do you know

Animal Farm isn't even really about animals?

Animal Farm?

Sasha, that's not even on the syllabus.

Yeah, I know you're forgetting something.

One extra credit on your diagram, want or not?

- I do I want it.

Okay, okay think.

- Let me think.

Well there was... Never mind.

- What?

Well it was okay..It was medicinal.

And if she claims it's medicinal,

I would demand to see a prescription.

That's what I would do if I were you, Wally.

Do you have any proof other than what one student

thought she saw?

Well this one student is in line to be editor

of The Daily Musket next year.

She's got a lot to loose

going public with this

If the Teacher's Union found out that i was administering

a drug test to a teacher with this little proof...

They would make my life a living hell, Amy..

So, you're just gonna let her walk free?

That's it!

Amy, Stop that

Stop it!

Sorry.

Sorry.

- Sit down.

Amy, Do you see this beautiful

little glass dolphin figurine?

Mmmm...

Look at it

Yeah.

- Look at it.

Looking at it!

- Elizabeth gave this to me.

She is a thoughtful young woman

and she is teaching for all the right reasons.

Wally!!! Can't you see? She is

manipulating you through the use of dolphins?

No, what i see is that you are getting worked up

And what i would hate to see...

....is for you to get overwhelmed...

...like you did in 2008

Gotcha! Thanks Wally,

for bringing that up.

For i'm all about that.

Do not do that with your mouth.

Regular mouth.

"Atticus Finch is a good lawyer because

he is a good person...

...who's a lawyer. "

Stupid point, misspelled.

"Stupider"

Is this English?

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Pathetic. this is why the Japs are overtaking us.

And believe me i don't mean you.

But, we're working really hard.

You're not working hard enough.

I need results.

Class dismissed.
