Professor Jake Macklin : The degrading system in my class is completely subjective. Let's say that I give Richard a low grade based on a completely honest devaluation of his work. But he thinks I'm doing it because I'm jealous.
Professor Carla Bonatelle : Are you?
Professor Jake Macklin : No, but what if he thinks that I am? Or what if he's dating Katrina in order to make me overcompensate, give him a higher grade than he actually deserves?
Professor Carla Bonatelle : What if they just like each other?
Professor Jake Macklin : ...like each other?
