Jeremy：I know it's been a rough couple of months,but I've been—I've been trying to turn them around.
Rick：Yeah,I saw that,But the problem is we're halfway through a semester,and half a fail is still pretty bleak.this is the part where you say to me,"what can
Jeremy：Yeah. yeah,totally. Whatever.
Rick：Good. write me a paper then.

Jeremy：嘿，Saltzman先生,我是…我是Jeremy Gilbert.您要见我？
Rick：你知道吗？你以前的老师有一份无聊的档案。没开玩笑，标签上写着呢。上面全记录的是惹麻烦的学生。你可是里面的头号人物。但是别担心，我不是他。既往不咎。现在…我们来谈下你的成绩。
Jeremy：我知道这几个月来，我表现很糟糕。但我正试图想要改变。
Rick：恩，我看得出来。但问题是，现在已经过了半学期了，对于半数科目都不及格的人来说，希望渺茫。接着，你应该会问我，“我能做些什么呢”。我很高兴如果你这样问。给你一次额外加分的机会怎么样？
Jeremy：好的，好的，非常好。
Rick：很好，那就写篇论文吧。
Jeremy：好的，关于什么的？
Rick：历史，找一个主题，就写当地的历史。不要照抄维基百科上的内容。这些古老的城镇，历史悠久。你就自己动手寻找题材，尽情发挥，你就能重回正轨。成交？
Jeremy：恩，是的，成交。戒指很酷啊。
Rick：哦，谢谢，我父亲的。有点俗，但是是祖传的。你知道的。你有一周时间。
