Elsewhere in the school, Joey is packing a knapsack at her locker when Jack approaches to apologize again and ask whether she was able to save the drawing. Joey takes the stained, destroyed picture out of her locker to show him, saying nothing but looking very irritated. She sticks it back in the locker as Jack apologizes yet again and asks if there's anything he can do. Joey says there isn't; it's due Thursday, she's already the youngest and least experienced in the class, and now she's going to show up with an incomplete assignment. Jack asks if she can redraw it. Joey says she can't, since it's a nude man and she can't exactly recall it from thin air. She notes the pose, the lighting, the composition, and points out that she can't just re-create them. Jack offers to pose for her -- "no big deal." Joey asks him a couple of times whether he's serious, and when he says he is, she says, "Let me think about that. No." They go back and forth some more on why Jack should or shouldn't pose for her (like, she'll get an 'F' if she doesn't hand something in), and as she continues to refuse his offer, he asks whether she'll be embarrassed, or whether she's "afraid it'll get sexual or something?" Joey delivers the deathless line, "You know, believe it or not, Jack, not every moment with you is sexually charged." KR adds, "'Because you're gay.'" Jack says that in that case it should be no problem. Finally he says that he feels very guilty. She says she doesn't think it's a good thing for them to do. He says she'll be professional, since this is her art, and as she considers this a moment, he decides it's settled and says he'll be by tomorrow around seven, and then walks off before either of them can change their minds. A very laboured scene.
Then we get a commercial featuring a montage of clips of Michael Jordan doing his thing, over soppy music. It's an ad for Nike, of course, without any copy other than "Just do it" at the end. This is all very well and good, but the fact that it exists in a form in which it can be broadcast tells me that Michael Jordan tipped off his sponsor that he was retiring before he told the world's press -- either that, or Nike ghoulishly prepared this ages ago in anticipation of his retirement. Either way, gross.
Then we get an ad for At First Sight with Mira Sorvino and Val Kilmer, two of my least favourite actors -- and as if that weren't bad enough, they're starring in a disease movie, or, to be more precise, a movie that treats blindness as if it were a disease.
