Scott Delacorte

Scott Delacorte is one of the heroes from the 2011 film Bad Teacher. He acts at the object of Elizabeth Halsey's epiphany and subsequent acts for redemption. He is portrayed by Justin Timberlake.

Scott is first seen in John Adams Middle School as the new substitute teacher. When Elizabeth sees him lost in the hallway she offers to take him to his desired destination. During this conversation, Elizabeth learns that Scott is rich because his family owns a successful men's designer watch business. Elizabeth also learns Scott is single but was recently with another woman who had a very big heart. At this point in the movie, Elizabeth has been established as a woman who wants a rich husband because she does not see any value in working for a living. She believes that Scott is this sought-after husband and makes it a goal to win over Scott's heart.

Unfortunately, Scott falls for Amy instead of Elizabeth. Scott and Amy have similar interests and are attracted to each other. Elizabeth tries to connect with Scott but there is no chemistry between them. Through underhanded maneuvers, Elizabeth gets the opportunity to chaperon a class trip with Scott while Amy is ill. During this trip, Elizabeth realizes that her attraction to Scott is very superficial and reevaluates her current goals.

By the end of the film, Amy transfers to another school which frees up Scott. Scott tries to initiate a relationship with Elizabeth but he is declined.
