- James Cameron is proposed with Jamie Lee as the other teacher and increased violence/production value; a joke imagines tall blue students with tails.
- Given the star and director’s status, a more ambitious cast is wanted, with Julia Roberts as the teacher on the run.
- Nick Cage is proposed as Crisp and receives approval.
- Faye Dunaway, Shirley MacLaine or Ellen Burstyn are offered for the mother; Kathleen Turner replacing Cathy Moriarty is the strongest wish.
- Meg Ryan as the partner is questioned because she would need to be the female lead and might imply too much romantic interest; the existing partner’s flirtation and kiss are debated.
