Transcript:
Jeffrey: "Yes, you may already be pre-selected to join the Walden class of 2004!" Rick: What do we know about Walden? Joanie: Well, it's been a while, but when I was living near the college, it enjoyed a modest reputation for academic excellence...as I recall, it was pretty strong in the humanities, particularly in english lit. And it was considered pretty selective in admissions. Jeffrey: "And if you act now, Jeffrey Redfern, you'll be eligible to win fabulous prizes!" Joanie: Of course, schools change.
