Listen to the interview:

Burton: "All of a sudden, I heard a banging on the door and I said, 'Oh, we are in trouble!" ... But there was a great big window box in the room so we put Joy in the window box. We opened the door and there was [Nelson] Wormwood. He said, 'You've got a woman in here!' I said, 'Oh no, no, no!' He said, 'I know you have. So bring her out!' So I said, 'Okay' and I brought her out. It turns out he followed her footsteps up to the dorm and in! … I was lucky I didn't get evicted from the College, but I got on social probation."
