ERIC: Of course! The one I wrote very hard!
DR. MONROE: Just out of curiosity, I put a few key phrases into Google. "An Examination of the Utilitarian Philosophy" by John Grote was published in 1870. It is word-for-word identical to your essay.
ERIC: 1870?? Oh my gosh! Do you realize what this means?! PROFESSOR!
ERIC: At some point in the future
ERIC [[whispering]]: I will go back in time
