Frank goes for a job interview at a builders merchants, but is causing havoc before he even enters the building; standing outside he gives a window dresser a deranged grin sending her crashing into the display.
Frank is selected to take a part in a role-play exercise but starts an argument when he uses insulting phrases - picked up from the militant student - against the course instructor ("hypocritical charlatan...reprobate...educational hoodwinker...grovelling, servile, sycophantic scamp, you").
