Sub

I have been extremely interested in the idea of a screenplay entitled Sub. The main character would be a substitute teacher fresh from college. The word Sub would also entail what he feels like most of the time...sub-par, sub-human, etc. This would stem from how the full time teachers treat him in the lunch room, students in the classroom, administration in general. He is not a loser but how he is treated makes him feel sort of that way. There are some fun things along the the way such as his room mate and his unhealthy obsession with Desi Arnaz. (he poses as a female impersonator of the cuban crooner at a lesbian nightclub) and of course there is a love interest played by a teacher at the school he subs at the most. He of course triumphs and gets the girl, but not in a conventional sense and yada yada. I would base alot of this on the experiences I had while working as a sub. It could be for subs what Office Space was for the office peon. I write this here because I do not know where else to write it... thank you for your time.

you can even go as far as like in meet the parents how ben stiller is frowned upon because he is a nruse, not a doctor...maybe his dad or parents are professors at a good college or seomthing.
