very, very pretty today.

So...

what was Crusoe's...

greatest fear?

Anyone?

Yes, Zeke.

Crusoe's afraid that he'd be

stuck on that island forever...

with nothing but calluses.

No, that's not correct.

Isolation

was his greatest fear.

Yes, but...

his external existence

in no way compared...

to the internal agony

of the loneliness he felt.

That's very good.

Like I said, calluses.

So Cathy tells me one thing,

and then Liz says another...

and then, of course,

Jenny's got her own story,

so which one

do you want me to print?

Print them all.

He's a jerk.

- Hey, we need to talk.

- No, Stan, baby, I'm in a crunch.

Could we back-burner it?

- I'm quitting football.

- You're not playing tomorrow?

I'm not playing this year.

Would you listen to me?

I'm quitting the team.

I'm not playing ball... anymore.

What brought this on?

Well, I've been weighing

the importance of being a jock...

- with my impending future, and I decided

- You just decided?

Stan, what about college? The football

scholarship is your only shot.

If I quit now, I can work

harder at studying,

maybe raise

my grades a little.

I'd rather go to college...

based on my intellect.

You're not good

at studying.

Stan, you're good at football.

Stick to what you're good at.

Yeah, I've always been good at football

and basketball and every other sport I try.

I think maybe it's time I try something

I'm not so good at, something different.

And what am I supposed to do while you're

on a yellow-brick quest for a brain?

- What?

- The accepted social order...

is head cheerleaders date star

quarterbacks, not academic wanna-bes.

Don't be superficial.

"Superficial."

Four syllables.

That's really good, Stan.

You're on your way.

Let me know how

the cancer cure goes.

I was hoping you'd be

with me on this.

Now, if everyone will turn

to chapter four:

"The Nation of the State."

"Only through conformity

among the masses...

can the unified state offer the benefits

of power order and security."

Actually, we covered that

last week, Mr Tate.

We're on chapter five.

Whatever.

Now if you could all please

join Stan on chapter five:

"Individual Action in Society."

What are you reading?

Double Star.

Robert Heinlein.

You one of those

science fiction people?

Y'all believe in alternate universes

and alien beings and stuff?

I'm feeling pretty alien

myself today.

I'm Marybeth Louise Hutchinson

of Atlanta. I'm new here.

- No sh*t.

- What's your name?

Why do you want

to know my name?

'Cause I don't have

any friends.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem

to have one less than that.

- So I just thought

- Stokely, are you seducing the new students again?
