from practically the moment i was born
i've dreamed of only one thing
driving
[Music]
with the wind in my face and my hands on
the wheel there'd be no stopping me
you are my king peel me a grape darling
in my car i wouldn't be an average
ordinary doof anymore
i'd be a fuel-injected legend the
supreme ruler of the wide open
road
hey flame head nice wheels
[Music]
oh yeah looking good dink boy
[Music]
okay
so maybe i didn't have my license yet
and all i could drive were those dorky
peewee racers
but that was about to change and once i
had my license my dreams would finally
come true
[Music]
or have you picked me
[Music]
uh
me
[Music]
driver's ed
what could be better than a class where
instead of putting you behind a desk
they put you behind the wheel of a car
how about a teacher famous for being the
easiest grader in the whole school you
know what i heard i heard that he falls
asleep in the back of the car and you
can drive wherever you want you could go
to crab world
no
i heard mr stank house that you picked
the grade you think you deserved which
in my case is gonna be an a right you
know what i heard
i heard
that sound
it can only be made by one thing
[Music]
my name is mr slurm
due to a number of direct hits from his
passenger seat airbag
mr stankous now thinks he is a duck
while he recovers
i will be teaching this course oh no
oh yes mr wrigley
for too long i've seen students enter
this class with the childish fantasy of
owning the open road
while i'm in charge
that road will own you
it was like a bad dream slurm was back
in my life
he was a school legend a twisted shop
class teacher who had a different hand
attachment for every mood
ellen loved his class she thought he was
a genius i thought he was a joke
unfortunately
slurm felt the same way about me before
i continue
i would like to introduce my
assistant mr hellstrom
hello class
if there are any stragglers this
semester
mr hellstrom will be available to share
his knowledge with you sharing is caring
mr slurm
i'll just shut up
i am a shop teacher by trade
but in the same way
that i grind metal
to smooth out its rough edges
i plan to spend the next 10 weeks
slowly smoothing out your rough edges
i'm not gonna let him get to me like
last time shh
it's so smooth
he doesn't know who he's dealing with
okay i'm
mr wrigley
perhaps you'd like to share your
thoughts with the rest of us
yeah
okay
i just wanted to know when we're gonna
drive
when i say you're ready
that's when
by ready slurm meant knowing how every
single thing in the car worked from the
manifold intake valve to the driver's
side air bag
i see mr forsman has not read his
chapter on airbag deployment
oh sorry mr slum
mr slurm
i think young mr forsman here needs a
little special attention and uh with
your permission i'd like to take him
under
my wing
he's all yours
you hear that
for the next 10 weeks you are my
personal roadkill
[Music]
do it right make it tight let's see if
you're picking up where you left off and
sh*t miss hickle
[Music]
when that wheel comes off at 50 miles an
hour that cute little rhyme won't help
miss hickle
b minus
b minus
[Music]
so what's the big deal about a b-minus
what's the big deal
what's the big deal i'll tell you what
the big deal is i've never gotten
anything lower than a in my entire life
and i'm not about to start now you got
me weenie boy
not bad mr wrigley you get an a
i'm impressed
not as impressed as you're gonna be when
i hit the open road
you know mr wrigley too much confidence
can be as dangerous as a leaky fuel line
i wonder if you're even really ready to
drive
let's find out
put me to the test
oh
i will
tomorrow
this was gonna be easier than i thought
i had slurm on the run and it wouldn't
be long before the open road was mine
for the taking
[Music]
i couldn't say the same for teddy
welcome
to the mike hellstrom school of driving
today's lesson
parking
parking great the backbone of the
driving experience
whatever
you might want to write this down
write it down
one
i'll drive home yeah two
you'll stay here yeah
three
you'll guard my parking spot
all night long
yes
all right that's a little
[Music]
endless mike could tell that his plan to
turn teddy into his personal sl*ve was
beginning to lose traction
this is comfortable
by the next day it was spinning out of
control
[Music]
[Music]
hey mike fresh-squeezed orange juice
check it out
voila
[Music]
as for me i was ready to go head-on with
slurm i call it the slurm simuglide 6000
[Music]
the slurm simuglide 6000
it simulates nearly every road condition
known in the driving universe
[Music]
hop in mr wrigley
has baby got a radio
you have a choice of two settings
i suggest that you start with the easy
one
country road
road
come on you want me to fall asleep at
the wheel
[Music]
start her up mr wrigley
while i tried to show slurm up
ellen buttered him up doing everything
she could to get that a
mr slurm would you like a beverage for
your simulated trip
no thank you miss sickle
we have coffee tea lemonade i'm working
cash
[Music]
mr wrigley don't you believe in
signaling on a country road it's like
talking to yourself
is this as tough as it gets
not
quite
[Applause]
[Music]
hey
oh
[Music]
[Music]
uh
[Music]
[Music]
congratulations mr wrigley
you're dead
[Music]
driving it was a dream i've been chasing
all my life
and now
thanks to slurm
it was quickly disappearing
and so was my confidence
[Music]
somehow i had to get it back
fortunately my brother pete had an idea
not so fast son take it easy
it was a driving simulator wrigley's
style
okay now apply the brake
[Music]
now look both ways
now go
oh oh oh now steer clear of the mardi
gras parade
[Applause]
that was great pete really great
oh look out for the loose ball
uh we're done honey
nice work son nice work
with my confidence back i was back on
the road to earning my license
and not far away
endless mike was on the road to a total
emotional breakdown
[Music]
that's all four tires mikey
i've learned so much about air pressure
so what's next bucko
bucko
forsman please
give me a break oh i gotcha break fyi
the first brakes were controlled by a
lever outside the door and with that
they were able to push me
you want to know about brakes okay let's
give these brakes a little test shall we
great good
one more little lesson teddy boy
not bad but i think you should
definitely have those looked at did you
hear that squeak
[Music]
hey ellen
how's it going doing okay with your
graves
lori are you asking okay so i'm not
doing that well with my grades
wait till tomorrow
[Applause]
everyone's so moody
to improve her grade ellen's plan wasn't
just to suck up to slurm
it was to suck up in style
[Music]
[Applause]
this hiccup
miss hickle
[Music]
so what do you think mr slurm
the soda was flat
see plots
mr wrigley
you
i think we should start with the
advanced course whatever
i didn't know what slurm had planned for
me and i didn't care
the time had come to show him just who
ruled the road
[Music]
no matter what slurm threw at me i was
ready
pretty soon i'd have my license and
everything that comes with it
freedom
power
my dad
dad
you see mr wrigley
overconfident drivers put other people
at risk
mom
people with families
people with friends
no
people who contribute something to the
world like mahatma gandhi
i wonder if it's a driver's license you
really need
or a license to k*ll
slurm had won
he proved that i didn't belong on the
road and he didn't only take away my
confidence
he took my dream
and there was no way i was gonna give
him the satisfaction of seeing me flunk
his class let the final test begin
who's first
ah
miss pickle mr slurm since it's the last
day of classes i want to give you a
token of my deeply felt appreciation
i made it myself
perfect i knew you were an extra husky
miss hickle
you've done so many
good things for me this year
i'd like to give you a little something
too
let me guess would that be an
a
even better
a gift

i don't know what to say
then don't say anything young lady drive
show me the miss hickle i used to know
the miss hickles slurm used to know not

to bits by a big bad teacher

platelet avenue i didn't even care about
my license anymore

nice driving mr wrigley
in his own slurmy way
mr slurman given me my confidence back
and now it was time to put it to the
test
