Episode Report Card Kim: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Docuventary
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 19 | Aired on 05.03.1999
DocuCam. Sean stands outside and points out Kelvin Hall. Cut to Julie saying that the best part of college is the friends that you make, and she refers to Sean as "this weird guy making a documentary about them." Back to regular cam, as Sean asks her to leave him out of her answers. Noel knocks and enters to tell Julie that there is a dorm meeting that night. He notices Sean's camera and says he sees that Sean has "finally succumbed to the insipid world of pornography." "Insipid"? I mean, most pornography is fairly insipid, but that doesn't seem like the right word for that sentence. ["For real. That was a total Dawson's Creek line." -- Wing Chun] Sean explains about the guy who sold the documentary for tons of money. Noel asks what his movie is about, exactly. Sean says it's "just kids venting about college." Noel suggests that he call it a "docuventary." Sean asks Noel to make up a graphic saying that, adding that it would be great exposure for Noel when the movie gets sold. Noel agrees to do it. Noel asks Julie if she knows where Felicity is. Julie says she went uptown with Elena and then has her seminar. Noel leaves, and Sean comments on how nice he is. Julie says, "Yeah, generally." Sean asks what that means. Julie says that it's the flip side of making friends. Sean tells her to pause while he adjusts the camera, then tells her to continue and we go to DocuCam. Julie says the flip side of making friends is that one day you kiss one of them, or someone from your past returns, and it's complicated.
More DocuCam. Richard says that the greatest part of college is being away and having only one roommate. He explains that he comes from a big family with seven kids, and that he was number four.
After a pan across a crowded park, we cut to Sean interviewing Lynn, who says that the possibilities are endless, and that there are no boundaries or limitations. He says that you can study brain surgery or cosmetology.
Ben talks to a Financial Aid officer, who says that they never received Ben's final tuition payment. They contacted Ben's parents. Ben chuckles and asks what his parents said. The officer says that Ben's dad told them to talk to Ben. Ben says that his father is trying to teach him a lesson, although he's not sure what it is. The officer suggests that Ben take out loans or apply for financial aid. Word, financial aid officer. Ben nods. The officer says that until that happens, Ben still owes them $3200. Ben cracks a weak joke and sighs.
