- Herman Blume: What's his name again?
- Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: Max Fischer.
- Herman Blume: Sharp little guy.
- Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: He's one of the worst students we've got.
- 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.
- Max Fischer: Good. I just wanted to inform you about what is going on.
- [Dr. Guggenheim stares at Max with contempt]
- Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: I never took you for an informer, Max.
