Freshman tries to speak Spanish, but hasn't been to biology class in the last four weeks

Wildcat: My name's Nathan. You're On the Spot. Your friend here tells me you're in Spanish. Say something in Spanish.

Yeager: What do you want me to say?

Wildcat: "My name's Nathan. You're On the Spot."

Yeager: I don't know how.

Wildcat: Try.

Yeager: Me llamo Nathan. Est‡s Spot?

Wildcat: Cool. I would say "En el ·" oh, I don't know the word for "spot." Dot. Maybe "dot" · or "hole."

Yeager: Punto.

Wildcat: Or like what?

Yeager: Punto. Like a period.

Wildcat: Oh. I thought you said something else.

Yeager: No, no, no, no.

Wildcat: All right. Since you're in Spanish and everything · what building just got renamed?

Yeager: Economics · Chicano Student Affairs or something like that.

Wildcat: It got changed to some dude's name.

Yeager: CŽsar Ch‡vez.

Wildcat: You said you had a lot to do right now? What's that?

Yeager: I kind of have bad study habits, so I didn't go to biology the last four weeks and I have a test on Wednesday. So I have to read all the chapters in the books and all the online lecture notes. And I also have a paper.

Wildcat: Do you have those two guys ·? What are they called?

Yeager: Hallick and Grimes?

Wildcat: Yeah! That's like a book name. Like something, "My Hallick and Grimes book."

Yeager: I probably shouldn't have said that. They might read it.

Wildcat: Maybe they'll take pity on you and, since you promoted their class · they might give you a "B" instead of a "C."

Yeager: Promoting the class I don't go to?

Wildcat: Maybe they don't read the paper.

Yeager: Here's hoping.

Wildcat: Do they still show their slide shows?

Yeager: Yeah. Well, they did · It's been a while.

Wildcat: When you were there four weeks ago, they did?

Yeager: Yeah.
