Mr. Garvey is a pugnacious and volatile former inner city teacher of twenty years who is now a substitute teacher assigned to a predominantly white biology class. While taking attendance, Garvey begins pronouncing each student's name incorrectly - Jacqueline becomes "Jay Quellin", Blake becomes "Balakay", Denise becomes "Dee-nice", and Aaron becomes "A-A-Ron". As each student tries to correct him, Garvey becomes progressively angrier, refusing to accept that their names are legitimately pronounced the way they say. He proclaims he has his eye on Jacqueline, asks Blake if he wants to "go to war", breaks his clipboard while insisting Denise say her name correctly, and finally sweeps everything off his desk while chastising Aaron before sending him to Principal O'Shaughnessy's office (whose name he mispronounces as "O'Shag-Hennessy"). The sketch ends with Timothy, the only black student in the class, whose name Garvey pronounces as "Tim O. Thee" - and Timothy doesn't correct him, simply responding "present."
