Today, Professor Walsh will lecture her community college history class on Genghis Kahn and the Mongolian empire. More importantly, however, will her students Cat, Wesley, Dirk, and Karrie get what they each desire? Will Wesley save the world from "squiddly" predators from outer space; will Cat get Wesley to go for individually sliced pizza; will Dirk make it with Karrie and/or Professor Walsh; will Karrie run screaming from vampires that roam abroad in daylight or sit right next to her in class; and will Professor Walsh overcome the passions and loneliness that landed her in academic limbo? The answers to these questions and more, including the revelation that Genghis Kahn wasn't such a bad guy after all, fill 45 minutes of fast-paced dialogue and inner reflection.
