(A student raises his hand.) (Blows him a kiss.) (He whips out the award for Best Supporting Actress that he accepted for Jessica.) And I know about the other professors! Because he, he was actually in love with me! I'm up for a Soapie! I...I uh...Boy I'll tell you it's just such an honor to be nominated for a Nobel Prize and y'know to win one for a massage. In spite of what may be written on the backs of some of these chairs. It could also be a Grammy. Joey: But why?! Joey: Ross has a boyfriend. Phoebe: You sound like a guy. Rachel: On TV?! Ross: It-it-The point is my natural charisma has made him fail his midterm. Ross: No! Ross: Well that's different! You used me!

Plan: A: Joey; Q: Who is a sore loser after being nominated for a "Soapie" award? A: a different award; Q: What does Joey refuse to give to a co-star? A: the actress; Q: Who does Joey keep the award from? A: a higher test grade; Q: What does a male student angle for by claiming he loves Ross? A: Another student; Q: Who reveals that the guy actually is straight? A: the same ploy; Q: What did the student use on other professors? A: the student; Q: Who did Ross give a failing grade to? A: a conversation; Q: What did Ross' colleagues overhear that made it seem like Ross and the student dated? Summary: Joey proves to be a sore loser after being nominated for a "Soapie" award. When he accepts a different award on behalf of a co-star, he is unwilling to hand it over, later keeping it when the actress considers it insignificant. A male student angles for a higher test grade by claiming he loves Ross. Another student reveals that the guy actually is straight, and has used the same ploy on other professors. Ross then gives the student a failing grade, but ends up giving him a "C" after some of Ross' colleagues overhear a conversation sounding like Ross and the student dated.
