22 Jump Street
22 Jump Street is a 2014 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, written by Jonah Hill, Michael Bacall, Oren Uziel and Rodney Rothman and produced by and starring Hill and Channing Tatum. Ice Cube, Peter Stormare, Jillian Bell, Amber Stevens, and Wyatt Russell also star. It is the sequel to the 2012 film 21 Jump Street, which is in turn based on the television series of the same name. The plot follows police officers Schmidt and Jenko as they go undercover at a college in order to find the supplier of a new drug. Plans for a Jump Street sequel began the week of the first film's release. Hill and Tatum were quickly confirmed to be reprising their roles, while Miller and Lord announced they'd be returning to direct in July 2013. Filming took place from September to December of that same year in New Orleans, Louisiana, as well as San Juan, Puerto Rico. 22 Jump Street premiered on June 4, 2014 in New York City, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 13 by Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). It received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $331 million worldwide. A third film, as well as a female-led spin-off and a possible crossover with the Men in Black franchise, were discussed but never came to fruition.
Because this is a college seminar, and that's how college seminars work. Professor gets into a lively conversation with the student. Friction creates fire, and that leads to lessons learned. Well, it's definitely harder to get drugs. I can personally tell you that. The average price of cocaine has dropped 70% in the last 30 years. Then your dealer's probably selling you some pretty stepped-on shit. (STUDENTS LAUGHING) Mr. mcquaid, college is a wonderful place. This is where you get to decide who you actually are, instead of the person that you're clearly pretending to be right now, which everyone sees through, by the way. You got to decide, do I just keep doing the same thing, or am I gonna choose a different path and question my convictions?
22 Jump Street
That's exactly the answer I wanted, Mr. mcquaid! I want you to question what I'm saying. This is the basis of this whole course, and that's the beauty of college. You can say whatever you want. You can be whatever you want. I mean, I have tenure. I can really say whatever I want. George Washington was a black lesbian. The Eiffel tower is made of dildos. They can't fire me. I'm indestructible. (SMACKING LIPS) I'm sleeping with two of my students. Her and her. I actually am. Now, just like you did before, I want you right now to say whatever you want. Say whatever you want.

MALE STUDENT: Okay, we got time for just one more improve game. For this one, we need a ton of different suggestions. So, we just need you guys to fill in the blank in a sentence that we're gonna set up. So it'll go like this. Oh, I'm so hungry, I wish I had a... Tampon! Okay, but we want... We want it to be actual food so that it, like, makes sense with the game. It's more fun that way. So, uh, let's try it one more time. Oh, I've got to get home so I can feed my... Boner! You know what? Let's just play the game, okay? GIRL: All right, so what would you... Hey, that girl's in my psych class. Damn, she's hot. Go talk to her. You come talk to her with me.

You're the guy with the terrible suggestions. Yeah, yeah. You're welcome, man. Yeah. Thanks, guys. Um, lady J is gonna be up next for you. Cynthia, that girl who died, she used to come here all the time, right? Mmm. This piece is called areolas. Did you know her? Yeah, she lived across the hall from me. Yeah? So why do you care so much?

Greedy man hands! ...a slam poem in her honor. Early stages, very early stages. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Wouldn't it be better just to, like, plan the stuff out ahead of time, and then not say it in front of people and embarrass yourself? That's a thing that people do. That's stand-up comedy. That's probably what you should do, because that stuff's funny. My brown nipple will produce white milk during lactation... What do you think of this? I actually think it's really powerful. That's cool that you said that, 'cause I actually thought it was really powerful, too, when the one girl was talking about her nips and shit. (APPLAUSE) Okay, does anybody have anything they want to share? Let's see what you got. Any more poets in the audience? I... I mean, do you really do poetry?
