Very odd and awkward how he rushed back to his lectern as Lehrer climbed the stage. And the fiddling with the papers and handing off of them to his son. Now it makes sense. If anyone somehow discovers the cheat notes at this point, he can feign innocence and claim they must be his son's. Note the grandiose gesturing and heart-palming afterward, almost as if he's trying to divert attention from his son now that said son has the papers in his possession.

Fucking cheat and liar.
