MICHAEL “Let me tell you something about myself. I come home from school to my dorm and all I have is my homework. There's nothing else in my life!”… I meet you, and I say, my God, there's someone with the same problem I have!
JANNIE “ Yes. We both have the same problem. You!”
MICHAEL “ I'm gonna go for broke. I am madly in love with you.”
JANNIE “I don't believe this. Will you please leave?" [TAKES A DRAG]
MICHAEL “And then she threw me out of her life. She thought I was a creep, she thought I was a geek and she probably wasn't the first...”
JANNIE “You are so odd...” [BLOWS OUT SMOKE]
MICHAEL “I've got it! … I'll prove myself to you! .. Yeah. I'll solve your little problem. I’ll fix your grade. I'll hack the system and give you all A's"
JANNIE “Okay...”
MICHAEL “And then you'll say, "Michael’s a guy who can get things done!"
JANNIE “ Right.”
MICHAEL "I wonder what makes him tick!"
JANNIE “ I wonder!”
MICHAEL "I wonder if he'd be interested in knowing what makes me tick?... I bet you're going to be thinking about me after I'm gone.
"How about a stick of gum? Or would you like to split a Three Musketeers bar with me?"
@RobC's scenario is much more intriguing than KM's (that's a low bar, I realize): Besotted geek hacks into the database and alters Jannie's grades. That would make things more efficient for Jannie - no need to cram more professors into her pockets. It could turn out great for Michael, too. He realizes he's an IT genius, invents a hit new app that makes him a bundle, and drops Jannie for a smart, nonsmoking hottie foreign student named Margarita who loves ice cream.
Boy Michael reeks of desperation just like Wilbur. This kid can't take a hint that Jannie's only into older, sophisticated men that can give her an easy A just by brown nosing him.
I love how the smoke blows across Michael's face. I don't even think Entertainer Esme is that good.
Once Jannie really gives him the ultimate smackdown, Michael can join Wilbur on the cliff and they can enjoy an ice cream together.
Three days of vaping. I don't think I'll be able to stand anymore excitement.
I realize that Michael is supposed to be the good guy here but I'm siding with Jannie on this one. In my opinion, someone who asks another if they want to work together on the BIG ASSIGNMENT (as opposed to term paper or whatever) is just asking for it.
In a strip notable for the utterly inscrutable motivations of its characters, Jannie's belief that the optimal means to obtain a good grade in an undergraduate English Literature class is to come on to the whitebearded and rather portly (too many fillets of fried fish I reckon) professor stands out for its improbability.
We need to start a GoFundMe to send June to a college campus so she can see what people in their late teens/early twenties actually look like. Of course, we'd need to send KM with her to listen to how those young 'uns actually speak.
a) marriages that become "too familiar" and uninteresting b) marriages with one spouse insecure from the popularity of the other c) students attempting to manipulate their professors d) pop culture on college campuses (vaping, bronys, lunch/snacks/ice cream as the gateway to "Netflix & chill" e) whatever can kill the most time while the checks keep rolling in from North American Syndicate Inc
I'd like for it to be revealed that Jannie just got back from Italy with Dawn and now they're BFFs and they steal Mary's salmon-square recipe along with her muffin reciple only to find they were from boxes of Salmon Helper and Muffin Helper. Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker come to SR to get vengeance. I know, it's off-the-wall but would be and Michael and Brony have to save Mary and the day.
OK, I’ve been retired a few years, but Santa Royale Community College Technical Academy University does not resemble any institution of higher education I have ever known. Nor do its students.
@fauxprof I wouldn't be surprised if it is not a scam institution. Nobody seems to ever graduate or get a job, nor do any of the instructors seem to behave in a professional manner or worry about tenure (wait, wasn't Ian once worried about that?). There does not seem to be an atmosphere of publish or perish at SRCCTAU.

Actually, I'm surprised that Jannie isn't jumping at the chance to exploit Michael's eagerness to please for her own devious ends.
Dude, she's just not that into you.

I have no mouth, but I must eat ice cream.

@KitKat: I'm not that clever today. I paraphrased that from Ghostbusters. It's all I could think of.

"Jannie, do you want to talk about Mary Worth?"
"No."
And...scene...
Jannie is now in the running with Entertainer Esme for best bad girl.
What a great Worthy award! Best Bad Girl.
The perfect way for this to end would be with Michael, Ian, and Wilbur all ending up on the old thinkin' and drinkin' cliff.

Jannie is bad, but for what? A lousy A? All she has to do do is attempt to pay attention in class, and write 1/2 page on Tom Sawyer.
I bet she has a lot of participation trophies.
I like the sperm wall prominently featured in the background.

We need to start a GoFundMe to send June to a college campus so she can see what people in their late teens/early twenties actually look like. Of course, we'd need to send KM with her to listen to how those young 'uns actually speak.
I expect Jannie's evil scheme to get an A through absurd flattery will fail and there be a boring and improbable reaction.
So is this story arc about:
a) marriages that become "too familiar" and uninteresting
b) marriages with one spouse insecure from the popularity of the other
c) students attempting to manipulate their professors
d) pop culture on college campuses (vaping, bronys, lunch/snacks/ice cream as the gateway to "Netflix & chill"
e) whatever can kill the most time while the checks keep rolling in from North American Syndicate Inc
???
I'm so confused...

Bet SRCCTAU is a for profit institution.
