[[Computer lab. Professor approaches Ian, working on one of the computers.]]
Professor: Ian, I think we have to talk.
Ian: OK.
Professor: I've been getting comments from my colleagues, and I think I might be the only professor in the school you haven't completely alienated.
Ian: Really?
[[Ian stops working to talk.]]
Professor: One told me you called her a "blithering moron" on the first day of class.
Ian: It slipped out when she was talking about the symbolism of Apple's default desktop image. And she doesn't like runes.
[[Professor is exasperated, Ian tired.]]
Professor: Ian, have you ever thought about being nice to your professors long enough to pass their classes?
Ian: Faking respect wears me out.
