He looks scared and is chased by a group of five fellow students. They all look angry. Tom quickly turns his head once while running. TOM Guys, no! He screams over-dramatically and gasps for breath. Mr. Miller laughs and walks back in the lecture room. BEN turns around at the sound of Mr. Millers laughter, hesitates for a moment, and then continues chasing Tom. TOM (voice) Mr. Miller is a real monster. The only reason why he became a lecturer is because he wanted to torture poor students.

MILLER Ive been teaching this class for twenty years now and youre definitely not the first who seems to be unable to bear with the fact that you have to study in order to achieve things in life. That one of you would steal the exam, because you are too dumb to understand basic facts of what you think will be your future job is just what I expected. Thats why I have prepared this. You are going to give this fake exam to all your ridiculous fellow students and say your plan worked. Didnt I tell you that NO ONE is going to pass?? He who laughs last laughs best!

MR. MILLER Just like I expected, you are an unintelligent, inert group of losers. Mr. Williams did have at least one correct insight: There was no way you would have passed this exam without cheating, with the help of your limited minds only. The students look confused, cautiously glancing at Tom. MR. MILLER (continuing) Oh, I just knew you would try to steal this exam. So I gave Mr. Williams a fake exam for you to learn by heart all the wrong things. And since there are two features of very students character I can trust in stupidity and anxiety I knew Mr. Williams was just the right person to help me with letting all of you fail this class. Toms fellow students look angrily at him. One student, BEN, looks like he is about to stand up. BEN You are such an idiot!! This means war, you pathetic betrayer! MR. MILLER Good luck And we all know now how much you will need it.. Mr. Miller laughs slightly evil. The students start to look at their exam sheets, knowing that they cannot do anything to change the situation at the moment. Mr. Miller is extremely content with himself.
