00:00Once upon a time, in the land of plenty, there was an enchanted place called Victorian University.
00:07Have you ever noticed that she's two-faced?
00:10Just like everyone else around here.
00:13Hang on. It's off its hinges.
00:15Like my career.
00:17How dare you interrupt my work?
00:19Things are getting nastier and nastier around here. Thank God I'm going on sabbatical.
00:24What do you think you're doing?
00:26How dare you interrupt my class?
00:28Turn that off this instant!
00:30Who approved this piece of effluvium in the first place?
00:32You did!
00:33And to think that we went all last semester without a dean.
00:37You know the best way to be left alone? Become dean yourself.
00:40Then you don't have to do a goddamn thing.
00:42I'd say it's time for our lovely Shakespeare professor to come to the fore.
00:46Your acting dean is not qualified for the job.
00:50He hasn't any vision.
00:52You think you'd make a better dean, huh?
00:54Let the do-nothingness begin.
00:57The way things are going, you can't be sure you'll still have your job when your sabbatical is over.
01:02Where is Professor Williams?
01:04There was an accident!
01:06I'm sorry, are you completely incapable of independent thought?
01:08I don't like what you're implying.
01:10How much do you have to pay them to get published nowadays?
01:12Well, it was back in the olden days when they published your Shakespeare text.
01:15You better watch it, Revis.
01:17People will say you two are in love.
01:19Especially if I start the rumor.
01:21And you use the cheapest kind of binding!
01:25Not stand for another minute!
01:27I mean, look at this thing! It's just...
01:29It's just... It's falling apart!
01:31Do you think that maybe it had something to do with you?
01:34I saw them while they were in flagrante delitto!
01:39That's outrageous!
01:41Oh, don't make me laugh. No one can touch us.
01:44We are full professors. We have tenure.
01:47One man's burnout is another man's radical.
01:50This is an outrage.
01:56What are you doing?
01:57Ow, my arm!
01:58I like it on you.
02:11This reminds me of being married.
02:13And Victoria, if you destroy one professor, you become chair.
02:16If you destroy several, you become dean.
02:19And if you destroy everyone, you become president.
02:22They picked today to get excited about school.
02:25I assure you, this isn't over!
02:27I can put my name on something that I don't believe in and get my doctorate.
02:31Or I could stick by what I believe.
02:33And get nothing.
02:35Welcome to academia.
