Back to School Page #5

Mr. Melon, I'd like for you

to meet Dr. Philip Barbay...

who's the dean

of our school of business.

David, I just want

to get it on record...

that I am totally against this.

I don't think

that selling admission...

to an obviously

unqualified student...

is very ethical or honorable.

Right, Phil,

but I'd just like to say...

in all fairness

to Mr. Melon here...

it was a really big check.

It's a simple matter

of this man's presence...

undermining the efforts

of our legitimate students...

who are here as a result

of hard work.

Hard work?

Listen, Sherlock, while you were

tucked away up here...

working on your ethics,

I was out there...

busting my hump

in the real world.

And the reason guys like you

got a place to teach...

is 'cause guys like me

donate buildings.

I wasn't speaking to you,

Mr. Melon.

I don't think

Dr. Barbay understands...

the actual amounts

that are involved here.

Mr. Melon, will you take

the ceremonial shovel?

Thank you.

And dig into the symbolic dirt.

I hereby dedicate

this building to... myself.

Now, Dad, it's just like

we talked about.

You sign up for whatever

interests you, OK?

We're gonna get

on the astronomy line...

before it closes up.

See you later.

Look at this.

This is worse than the track.

You want me to move

some people for you?

No, don't push anybody around.

This is college.

Let me think for a minute.

What are you gonna do?

Come on. I got an idea.

Did you get

everything you want?

I got the Latin

and the Sanskrit...

but then they canceled

my Ancient Greek.

Just blew my whole

dead languages motif.

What are you looking at?

You OK?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm just upset

because they closed botany.

Those bastards!

Well, I'm not that upset.

At least, I won't be

if I get into astronomy.

You want to cut

into line with us?

'Cause we're already waiting.

Yes. Yeah, I would.

Great. All right.

Oh, this is Derek.

Hi.

I'm Valerie Desmond.

Yeah, I know.

- I'm Jason Melon.

- Hi.

- Hey, Valerie.

- Hi.

God, you look great.

Thanks. Are you taking

astronomy, too?

Yeah, I guess so.

I don't really want to.

I'm a business major.

But for some reason,

they want us to take a science.

You mind if I sneak

in the line with you?

Actually, these guys were

nice enough to let me in...

so it's really

up to them, I guess.

Melon, buddy?

Whaddaya say? Let me in, OK?

I don't think so, Osbourne.

Melon, your friend...

straighten him out.

Look, Chas,

there's a lot of people waiting.

It wouldn't really be fair.

I'll tell you what.

Maybe if you got a note

from each of these people...

saying that it was all right,

then we'd reconsider...

but until that day,
