[[Professor sits at his desk reading a newspaper.]]
Professor: Budget cuts to the university...hiring freeze...way to bust the budget during the boom years, guys. I guess you figured someone else would be elected by now to clean up the mess.
Professor: Drew, did I ever tell you I used to have a teaching job in Fiji?
[[Wider shot of office, Professor is leaning back in his chair holding the newspaper and a coffee mug. Drew sits at a desk on the opposite wall, leaned over and working on something with his head resting in his hand.]]
Drew: Fiji? Really?
Professor: Oh yeah. There were beautiful beaches, blue skies...I was in a tropical paradise, and I gave it up to work here. And do you know why?
[[Professor standing on a beach, cleanshaven, in swim trunks and holding a tropical drink while smiling.]]
[[Same scene as panel 2, but closer focus on Drew.]]
Drew: You're dumber than two bags of bricks?
Professor: Bingo. Now I know why I hired you as a teaching assistant. Same outlook on life.
