-Good morning, Professor McConaughey.
-Wrong hat.
There we go. -Okay, this is going to be fun.
Let me just unpack a little bit here.
-The class is called "Script to Screen."
-Script to Screen. -Yeah.
-Yeah, I knew that.
-My goal in the class is... -Sharpener for the pencils.
-...to take you through the evolution of feature-film story,
from the concept all the way to the finished film.
So, in this class, we're going chronologically follow
that journey that a script takes to get to the screen.
-Can... -Yes, Jimmy?
-Can we have class outside?
I think everyone here would love it.
-No, today, class is right here. -Okay.
-So, look, what I was saying is -- we're going to
explore why certain script changes are made.
We're going to break down two, three scenes in the movie.
We're going to ask why we made these changes.
We're going to talk to the creators and the directors
and ask them why they did what they did.
-I like to eat the worms like a fish.
-You know what?
Why don't we skip all of this
and jump straight into the final project?
Just write down five things that you may remember
me saying in the last five minutes.
If you get 3 out of 5, you will pass this class,
and then you can leave this class
and not come back ever again.
Got it? Got it.
You don't have -- Are you even interested?
-Sorry. No, I am. I was just --
-Do you know why you're here? -You know what?
I just want to just -- -I bet you got it.
Whatever you wrote, that's a pass to the class.
You got a "C." You got it. It's yours.
-Wow! Is this -- -Head on out.
-Because I feel like I probably could have --
I could do better.
-No, you did just fine. You passed.
You do not need to come back to class ever again,
Mr. Jimmy Fallon.
You are, in fact, easily the worst student I've ever had.
But you know what I think is for you?
-What? -You got a guitar?
-Oh, yeah.
-Now, Jimmy Fallon may not be a perfect student.
He may not have learned much in my classroom today.
But I was able to teach him one thing,
and it is something that every University of Texas Longhorn
and everybody in Austin, Texas, should and does know.
Ladies and gentlemen, here to lead you in singing
"The Eyes of Texas," please welcome Jimmy Fallon.
