Jim McAllister: 开始是是在Carver中学教伦理与政治课的老师。影片有很大的篇幅都是在写他的矛盾,他的伦理以及自身感受欲望的矛盾。如在开头Dave跟他描述Tracy的私事的时候,Dave表现出没有欲望知道这事,而后又非常想要观众知道这事。他对Tracy奇怪的感觉,即有奇怪而矛盾的吸引的感觉,又有厌恶和不安。自己一方面是一个通晓伦理的老师,一方面自己又有婚外情的冲动。他的整个影片表现非常真实可爱。
剧中的很多对白都非常搞笑和讽刺:
Tracy在说自己和Dave的关系: Our relationship was based on mutual respect and admiration
....
Since I grew up without a dad, you might assume that, psychologically, I was looking for a father figure. But that had nothing to do with it at all. It was just that Dave was so strong, and he made me feel so safe and protected.
Tammy Metzler: It's not like I'm a lesbian or anything. I'm attracted to the person. It's just that all the people I've been attracted to happen to be girls.
Tracy Flick: It's like my mom says, "The weak are always trying to sabatoge the strong."
