A student comes to a young professor's office hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly.

``I would do anything to pass this exam.'' She leans closer to him flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes.

``I mean...'' she whispers, '`...I would do...anything.''

He returns her gaze ``Anything?''

``*Anything*.''

His voice softens. ``Anything??''

``Anything.''

His voice turns to a whisper. ``Would you...study?''
