A fish called Wanda

One of the most hilarious scenes I've seen in the movies is from the (now) classic A fish called Wanda. The joke is phonetic in nature, because the words Wanda and wonder sound very similar in standard British English (Americans did also get the joke, though).

Wanda's lover is in court (acting as a lawyer) and when his cunning girlfriend testifies in a way that surprises him, he yells: WANDA! Of course no one in the room knows they are together, so he immediately tries to correct himself and says: I wonder, I wonder if ... but by then his whole act is ruined.

Well, I ALSO wonder about some students in this course who are not doing the assignments, because that will be between 20—30% of the final grade. I wonder what their plans are for this subject.

Could anyone illustrate me?
