Dr. Nelson Guggenheim : We're putting you on what we call sudden death academic probation.
Max Fischer : And what does that entail?
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim : It entails that if you fail another class, you'll be asked to leave Rushmore.
Max Fischer : In other words, I'll be expelled.
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim : That's correct.
Max Fischer : Can I see some documentation on that, please?
[Guggenheim hands him his transcript]
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim : Too many extracurricular activities, Max. Not enough studying
Max Fischer : Dr. Guggenheim, I don't want to tell you how to do your job. But the fact is, no matter how hard I try, I still might flunk another class. If that means I have to stay on for a post-graduate year, so be it...
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim : - We don't offer a post-graduate year.
Max Fischer : Well, we don't offer it yet.
-
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim : It's Fischer!

Max Fischer : Good. I just wanted to inform you about what is going on.

Dr. Nelson Guggenheim : I never took you for an informer, Max.
