Jo Polniaczek: Look, I made a mistake. I missed some facts. Okay, some important facts. What do you want me to say? I didn't go far enough, or that I went too far? Go ahead, sue me for libel.
Professor Gideon: Libel. I would have to prove you wrote that story with malicious intent.
Jo Polniaczek: That wouldn't be too tough.
Professor Gideon: Why?
Jo Polniaczek: Because you ride me all the time. You criticize everything that I do, you know, no one likes to be told they're a dummy!
Professor Gideon: Is that what you think I've been saying to you all these months?
Jo Polniaczek: It's pretty obvious. You rip apart a story that I've been slaving over, and then you go ape when Blair reports on a hemline change!
Professor Gideon: To Blair, Journalism is the hour between breakfast and English Lit! I know what it means to you. It's exciting to for a teacher to see real potential in students. I ask more from you so you'll ask more from yourself!
Jo Polniaczek: Are you telling me that you like my stuff?
Professor Gideon: Yeah. Yeah, I do. Why don't you tell me how we got on opposite sides of the fence?
Jo Polniaczek: [chastised] When somebody pushes me, I don't think why. I just push back.
