    Hello, I'm a professor in a movie, I only reach the main point of my lecture right as class is ending. Then I yell at students about the reading / homework as they leave.

        Hi Professor. I’m a rookie teacher. I’m going to be hopelessly inept but after one of my students gets injured/killed/drops out/tells me I suck, I’m going to figure it all out and by the end of the year I will be the best teacher in the state. (Seriously, I’ll win an award)

        Hi. I'm the veteran teacher who uses 50 yr old teaching strategies & underestimates everyone. I wear brown & lecture while students sleep. I throw roadblocks in front of the rookie but am won over by movie's end & will give a half smile/nod approvingly while applauding his award.

        That half nod will mean everything to me. Even more so than the hot blonde teacher in our school who I am currently dating, who was too good for everyone else but I humanized and won over with my transformation into a master teacher in 4 months.

        Hello, I’m the fish-out-of-water NYC HS teacher dealing with a gang that’s 1/4 Italian, 1/4 Puerto Rican, 1/4 Black, and 1/4 Jewish. Through my perseverance I win them over and transform them (montage) into a championship debate (chess, math) team. They all get into top colleges.

        Hello, I'm the bright but delinquent gang leader who gives the new teacher hell because I don't trust anyone and am only fulfilled by causing others pain because I can't face my own. Somehow I still come into school every day and get into Harvard on a full ride scholarship.

        Hello. I'm a homespun hunk in a festive rom-com. My designer stuble, bereavement backstory & aptitude for manual labour attracts the sassy uptight fish-out-of-water cityslicker stuck here in error. I melt her heart with chunky knitwear & a cosy family Christmas.

        Hey buddy, I’m the cab driver in this movie. I’m perfectly willing to ignore traffic laws if you tell me to “step on it”, and I won’t be the least bit suspicious when you tell me to follow another car. I also stopped carrying change long ago, because no one ever wants any.

        I am a therapist in a movie. Since you have just cogently explained your entire life to me in one sentence, I have an equally concise answer for you that will solve everything. It's as beautiful as the decor in my fancy office, which boasts shelves full of leather-bound books.

        All your problems are solved in that one “breakthrough” session, which lasts as long as it takes instead of 50 minutes because I care so much and you never have to write me a check at the end because Lauren my receptionist will bill you.

        You're always, always, a free-standing high capacity clawfoot tub. All the tiles and grout around you are impeccable. Your faucet puts out slightly milky water, though.
