A pretty amazing cast, and a fairly serious premise--one of the clergy teachers is pretty physically abusive to the students, and gets away with it for a long time--but ends up being undermined by the character played by Stephen Geoffreys, a guy who's perpetually horny; this scene is the only one that I remember clearly.

Calvert Deforest and Wallace Shawn? AND Yeardley Smith?!

Good grief, they threw EVERYTHING at this particular wall.
