Back in the computer lab, How to Be Awesome students would find their witty and well-groomed professor waiting in an armchair at the front of the room with a glass of scotch and a cigar. Don't ask how he managed it, just be impressed with his abilities. There was also a screen hanging behind him and plenty of computer stations facing him for all to use.

A minute or two before the appropriate time, Barney started in on his 'lecture.'

"Alright students and potential street cleaners, this week you're going to prepare to show the world how awesome you are. Someday, some of you will need to apply for a job. But come on, who can really show off what they're able to do on paper? No one Awesome. Who cares what school you went to or if you were in the Honor Society? Not anyone important. Which is why you need a video résumé. That's right. People are nothing if not visual and this," he pointed at the screen, "is the best way to introduce Barney Stinson to the world. In fact, I sent a copy of my résumé along with an introductory letter to the school board just the other day to ensure they were using me to the very best of my abilities." Oh yes, Barney had ideas.

"Now, you're going to take a gander at mine and then today I'm giving you cameras and access to film editing software right in this very computer lab to crank out an Awesome résumé highlighting the best parts of you that show why anyone should ever hire your Awesome self. Your projects are due next Monday and are your pass to participating in the final." He clicked a button on the remote and the lights dimmed for the show.

"Yeah, she hasn't known me that long. That's exactly the point. Why would she think it's love after that? We only had sex once," he said. "I mean, I know I'm good but I wasn't quite aware that I was that good."

"Not everyone comes from around here," Sam said. "Maybe in her culture, people don't randomly hook up?"

"She told me she was raised to deny emotions," Chuck said. "So this is effing crazy."

"Maybe she's denying your emotions," Sam pointed out. "The ones where you're not in love with her back."

"I don't care what is going through her head, I just want to her to stop," he said. Chuck sighed. "I honestly didn't think she'd take it this seriously."

"Well, that's better than if you thought she'd get clingy, but didn't care about her feelings," Sam said. "If you didn't know, and you want to fix it...that's good."

"If that's good then why do I feel like crap?" he asked.

"Because you're a human being. It's called empathy," Sam said. "It's a good thing, I promise."

Chuck narrowed his eyes at Sam. "I better get some kind of good karmic retribution out of this. Preferably of the sexual nature."
