Summary of Anthony Stewart Head's storyline: One of the two guys, Berg, is a medical student and is dating Ashley, also in medical school. The two arrive at an anatomy class and discover they have a new lecturer, Dr. Staretski. Ashley is thrilled as she thinks Staretski is brilliant. To Berg's dismay, she insist and going up to introduce herself to Staretski. The professor makes a series of double-entendres while suggesting that Ashley might want to apply for a position as his research assistant. Staretski begins his lecture, with over the top talk about the beauty of the human form and Berg is irritated that Ashley is so impressed.

Berg tries to forbid Ashley from working for Staretski and she makes it clear he does not have the right to order her around. Berg tries to be understanding, but then he finds out that Staretski works from home and has a reputation of hiring only women and paints nudes. Berg leaps to the conclusion that Staretski paints nudes of his research assistants.

Berg bursts into Staretski's house looking for Ashley. Staretski confirms she was there and he did hire her. Berg sees a covered painting and freaks out. Staretski demands that Berg leave so he can continue work on his latest painting. Staretski, still not realizing that Berg thinks he has painted Ashley, talks about the beauty of the human form and takes off his robe (with a vase of flowers conveniently in front of him). Berg is embarrassed to realize that Staretski paints nude self-portraits and finds the idea of painting his assistants to be obscene. Berg slinks out in embarrassment with Staretski telling him to let Ashley know that he has just gotten her fired.
