Is that right, Mr. Sanova?
That's right, Doctor.

Fifteen months and
14 days to be exact, sir.

- Yes, let's be exact.
- I didn't mean that
in any sarcastic way.

I was just trying to do it for
the record, you know. That's all.

It says here that you
have been involved with...

the prison Bible program...

That you've been leading
religious discussion groups.

Well, Dr. Moran, I don't
think my relationship...

with the Lord is really
too important here.

I walk with him
and I talk with him,

but I never intended to use
him with this distinguished group.

No, sir, that's between
me and my savior.

Well, it also says that, uh,
when you were arrested,

you maintained that
you saw a man who flew.

That he lifted your car up
off the ground and he shook it,

and that he was
impervious to b*ll*ts.

Now you maintained this through
several psychiatric evaluations,

one of which I conducted
right here myself.

Dr. Moran, I'm glad you brought
up this little bit of confusion...

which I know is in my record,
and for which I must apologize.

You see, I was trying to cop
a plea of diminished capacity.

I was looking for a sentence
to a psychiatric facility.

It is an episode I
am not proud of.

It was then that I
found my true calling.

If I might read from
Matthew Two, verse 16.

Uh, I don't think
that'll be necessary.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

If this parole
board lets you out,

we understand that you
have a job. Yes, sir, Doctor.

I will be employed with the
Book of Light Foundation.

We are a nondenominational
prayer group...

that works in economically
depressed areas.

I'm quite excited about it,
Doctor. Quite excited about it.

Yes, that's good.

That's very good.

And you maintain now that
there is no such person who flies?

The only flights I
witness now, Dr. Moran,

are those of the Holy Spirit.

No human can fly.

Uh-uh. No mortal can do that.

It's a bank holiday, fella!

Agent Maxwell, F.B.I.

Bill, quick question. Is a bank
robbery a federal or a state crime?

- Federal bank, federal crime.
- U.S. National.

- Federal.
- Corner of Sixth and Olive.

Alarms are ringing
all over the place, Bill.

- Better hurry if you wanna
beat the local police.
- Got it.

Who are you? The tooth fairy.

Agent Maxwell, F.B.I.
Okay, boys, right in this way.

Got 'em all ready
for you. He's out cold.

Gonna have to be my collar.
Sorry, but I done me duty as I seen it.

Oh, well, look at
this. Look at this.

Oh, coming to, huh? Well, the old
right cross is not what it used to be.

Anyway, I take 'em down
and you take 'em in, huh? Psst.

Ralph, that's sensational. A little
bank "B" and "E" to round out the week.

Terrific. What's the M.O.?
The blue suits are gonna need it.

Acetylene torch. The guy
was working right in the window.

I could have sold tickets.
I'm late to meet Pam...

Ah, well, there's
nobody else around.

Yeah, it was a torch job. Be
sure you tag and bag it thataway.

Who the hell are you? Oh.
I'm the guy that made the collar.

I hit you so hard, you don't
even remember me, huh?

What happened
to the tooth fairy?

A kid in Glendale
just lost a molar.

Boys, um, I'm
double-parked out there.

I'll call it in to
the precinct later.

Ralph, you're
almost an hour late.

I know. I had an
incredibly bad day.

Do you remember my brown tweed jacket with
the nice leather patches on the sleeves?

- Gone?
- Dropped on the way
over to the Game Room,

caught in the grill of an
18-wheeler going to Bakersfield.

Then there was a bank
robbery on the way over here.

And I made the bust, but I had
to wait for Bill. Okay, Ralph, look.

The luncheon's almost over, and you can't
very well go in there looking like that.

So why don't you go home
and I'll talk to you in the morning.

I know how disappointed you are,
Pam. I'm terribly sorry, but listen.

At the lecture, I'm
gonna be phenomenal.

Ralph, this luncheon was put together so
you could meet some of the other speakers.

Some of the people in there are the leading
minds in youth criminal rehabilitation,

and they all have
prepared speeches.

Now I hope yours is a good one. Um,
prepared? Well, you know what I'll do?

I'll open with a joke, lay a
little psychological groundwork.

Then I'll get right to the heart of the matter,
split things wide open, and end with a prayer.

Just kidding.

No, I'll be great. Trust.

Okay. I'm sorry
about your sport coat.

You're cute.

See ya.

I'm working on a speech,
and I wanna see if this is funny.

What has four walls and an I.Q. of
a hundred? Got it! There it is again.

Red ace, red king and red tens are the spinners
in this system. Keep track and you got it.

Evan, if you spent half as much time working
on lesson plans as you do on that card system,

we might have some students who could
score over 500 in math on the S.A.T. tests.

How now, brown cow?
At least my kids behave.

At least they're learning to sit
up straight, keep a clean desk,

and misspelled words are
written on the blackboard 15 times.

I am gonna break Vegas
in half with this system.

Sure you are, Ev. Those guys are
gonna see you coming a mile away.

They love system betters.
Now you want a good bet?

You go with the Whitney High Lancers
tomorrow. We are hot. We are ready.

Try this one, all right? I
got a new joke here, okay?

Here it is! I knew it.
Right here, in print.

All inside applications must be considered
before outside appointments can be made.

What has four walls... They
think I don't read these rules.

What's the point of making
rules if nobody pays attention?

Come on. What has four
walls and an I.Q. of a hundred?

All right, Ralph, what has four
walls and an I.Q. of a hundred?

The teachers' room at lunchtime.

That stinks, Ralph.

Hey, Duff. Hi.

- Hey, Duffy, get that
coffee machine fixed.
- I'll do it this afternoon.

Hey, I got great news.

My game, Campus Daze, I just got a
call from Mr. Howland at the toy company.

They wanna buy it.

He said we was talking
hundreds of thousands of dollars!

All right, Duffy!

Duffy, that's tremendous!
Congratulations!

Six months it's
been sitting there.

Why in the world do you suppose
they finally decided to buy it?

Well, it was a good game, Duff. It was
great. They're not stupid, just overworked.

Isn't that great? I tell
you, this is our lucky day.

Everybody's comin' out.

I want the super dude. His
name is Hinkley. I want this guy.

Look, Mr. S. Come on. That
was for the head doctors, right?

He's a teacher at Whitney
High. Praise the Lord.

Pass the ammunition.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Isn't that great what
happened to Duffy?

All these years he's been
trying to sell one of those games.

And now he sells one,
and the guy's set for life.

Just goes to show you what can happen
when you take your shot, you know?

I hear USC is scouting
our game tomorrow.

Yeah? Who they looking at?

What I hear is, is that they're
scouting me... my coaching.

Terrific! The Lancers are hot
so far this season... 15 and one.

Yep. And the Trojans are
looking for a new assistant coach.

And, Ralph, I'm putting in some
really fancy new stuff for the game.

I'm gonna use their own
game plan, no kidding...

Complete with a
full-court zone press.

And if we don't get the
fast break on the transition,

we'll just take the air out of the basketball,
and go to the four-corner passing game.

Then I'll implement
the pick-and-roll offense.

Oh, we're gonna be so
classy, obviously well coached.

Ray, why change your game
plan now? It's been working for you.

It's this thing with Duffy It got me
thinking. If you don't gamble, you don't win.

So I'm putting in a USC-type offense
to show 'em that I can run their system.

You're making a mistake. You
know what my big dream is?

They don't care if you
can work their system.

My dream is to coach in the
pros. They're looking for leadership.

Bill Hickey made it. I mean, he
coached at Mater Dei High School.

Then he went to Iowa,
assistant coach for three years.

Changing your game plan in
midstream is not good leadership.

And then assistant
coach for the Celts.

And in a couple of
years, who knows?

I'm putting Cyler to
forward from guard.

Oh, come on, Ray! Cyler is a
terrible forward. He's gonna get k*lled!

Hey, set the pick, move and
sh**t! Set the pick, move and sh**t.

Duffy's not the only big
winner around here. See ya.

You're making a
big mistake, Ray.

This guy's been
cleaning out toilets.

He's a janitor. I'm a genius.

Now he's some kind of a big-time game
mogul, and I'm still correcting papers.

I hate it. I mean, we're stuck
here watching the world go by.

You're right, Evan. I'm
going to Mr. Knight right now.

He makes me vice
principal, or I leave. That's it.

Excuse me, Margaret, for
eavesdropping, but I think...

that we're kind of
overreacting a little bit.

- Why don't you slow down?
- Slow down? I've been sitting
still for 15 years.

- Who organized the
new library video system?
- You.

Who's weekend
library proctor? You.

And who got together the literary
day last year? I did, that's who.

Lit Day was a dog, Margaret.
I wouldn't bring that up.

I just don't think it's a good idea
to give Mr. Knight ultimatums.

I put in for that
job two weeks ago.

I've got plans as vice principal.
I'm gonna shape this campus up.

Here's one, just for openers.

Any graduating student who
does not pay his library fine...

does not receive a
diploma at graduation day.

In his leatherette folder he gets a library
bill. If he doesn't pay it, no diploma.

Uh, don't you think you're being
just a little bit harsh, Margaret?

I mean, graduation to these
kids is a very special thing.

It's supposed to provide them
with a sense of accomplishment.

- I don't think throwing a bill
in there is such a good idea.
- Well, I do.

Well, that's the last we're gonna
see of old Margaret Ditwyler.

Knight's gonna can
her, no doubt in my mind.

Oh, gotta go to the bank. Gotta
draw all my money out by 5:00.

What? All your money?
Gonna cash in, Ralph...

House, insurance,
savings account.

Gonna take my little system and
bust this big money card game.

They play every
Saturday, right here in town.

But I mean, all your
money, all your savings, Ev?

They can't beat this system, Ralph.
I got it worked out on the computer.

25,000 man hours
on that little sucker.

I'm a doctor of mathematics.

Cards are just numbers, advanced
math, calculus, the laws of probability.

Fortune smiles
on those who dare.

If Duffy can do it, I
can do it in spades.

See ya.

What have I done?

Ralph, we gotta talk! I
don't have time to talk, Bill.

Where are you going? The whole
teachers' room is on self-destruct,

and I gotta stop it somehow.

You gotta listen up here. This is
important. We got big, major trouble.

I've already called the counselor. She's
on her way over with the you-know-what.

We've gotta parlay. Johnny
Sanova is out. He's paroled.

- He's on the streets.
- What?

My snitches have told me that
he's picked up a couple of gunnies,

and he's looking
to finish me off.

Oh, no, Bill. Can you believe letting
that gooney bird out on the streets?

I mean, come on. The
guy tries to k*ll you, k*ll me,

cops a plea for soft walls, and
they let him out in 15 months!

Soft walls? Nuthouse.
Ralph, remember?

He went to the nuthouse. He said
he saw a guy flying around in the sky.

Okay, I tell you what. We'll
work on that Johnny case.

But right now I gotta stop
Margaret from blowing it.

Maybe set off the school fire alarm, or
something to ease the tension with Mr. Knight.

That doesn't make
any sense at all.

I tell you what, Bill. It
makes sense to me.

Ralph, you're talking
gibberish. It is not gibberish.

Okay, guys, I got up here
as fast as I could. What's up?

Johnny Sanova,
he's out, he's paroled.

Remember him, 15 months
ago, we busted him? Yeah.

He's out. He's after my hide. But this time
we're gonna rub his nose in it, right, Ralph?

Along with the parole board? Margaret
Ditwyler's gonna blow it with Knight.

Evan's gonna blow it with the system.
Ray's gonna blow it with the Trojans,

and I gotta set off the
school fire alarm. Is he okay?

There he goes. Look, super
dude. Look at him, look at him!

He ain't going so fast right
now. He's running sort of regular.

I seen this guy do
over 70 miles an hour.

Run right up on the van I was driving, pull
the thing to a stop, yank my tokus out.

Threw two guys around in
the air like they was full of air.

He had on this suit with
a cape and everything.

- Yeah, sounds real dangerous.
- You think I'm nuts, huh?

Wait till you see it. I
seen it! We don't think...

We don't think you're
nuts, Johnny, not you.

You say this guy's a super
dude, then he's a super dude.

Me and Red will whack him for you,
and that's that. You don't whack this guy.

You sh**t him and the b*ll*ts fly off. I
need leverage. I gotta have leverage.

I ain't going up head-to-head on
this guy. No way, not that super dude!

Miss Ditwyler!

Margaret, let me talk to you for a
minute before you go in the room.

And I will expect you to be off this
campus by 5:00 with your things packed!

The fool thinks she can threaten
me waving a union booklet at me.

You didn't fire her, did you? Well, if I
didn't, it certainly was a good imitation!

Margaret!

Well, my friends, it's
time for us to leave.

Margaret, I don't know
what to say. I'm terribly sorry.

He thinks you can run a
school like a country club.

Slap their palms with a ruler, make
them write on the board. That's the ticket.

You stay after school
and pound a few erasers,

you get the picture pretty quick
that this school means business.

And once a child learns that,
then they start to listen and learn.

Margaret, I'll go to Mr. Knight.
I'll try and work something out.

Sometimes when I get
them to read Hamlet...

or MacBeth out loud,

and they can see how
wonderful those plays are,

sometimes one will say,

"Miss Ditwyler,
this is a good story."

Sometimes I feel
I'm getting through.

And when that happens, it's like
the sun hitting my own little garden.

- Yes, I know the feeling.
- I know people think
I'm an old biddy...

who just wants to clamp
down or something.

Margaret, nobody thinks
you're an old biddy. I don't.

I really try to teach
them, Ralph. I really try.

I worry about them.

It's not just discipline. It's that I
know you can't teach in chaos.

I really want them
to learn, Ralph.

Margaret, I have to go right
now, but you know what?

I'm gonna talk to Mr. Knight,
and I'm gonna work something out.

I don't know how I'm
gonna do it, but I will do it.

Fifteen years of
trying. Now it's all over.

Ralph?

Would you step into my
office, please, for a second?

Ralph, what's going on? What
happened? You're making me crazy.

Johnny Sanova's looking to drop me
into an open manhole and weld it shut.

Now, I'm not afraid of this
creepo or his four meat grinders.

I thought you said
two. Uh, yeah, two.

Well, still, uh... The point is, you stick
close to me with the magic jammies.

Johnny makes his move, you know,
and we drop the hammer on him... again.

And we teach this parole board a lesson
about putting creepos out on the street.

Yeah, you're right.

I hope that doesn't mean you'll
miss the Youth Criminal Seminar?

He's not going to any seminars
without me. He's gotta stay close to me.

That's an idea, Pam. Why doesn't Bill go in my
place? He knows everything about busting kids.

It's not about busting kids. It's about
saving them and getting through to them.

And pounding erasers, making the kids
stay after school, that's Margaret's way.

It's a little bit outdated, a little
old-fashioned, but she's a good teacher.

She really tries. She's
concerned about their welfare.

Is this my fault or have
we skipped the track again?

Oh, no. I'm getting something.

Johnny Sanova,
right? Where is he?

Evan Thompson, he's
refinancing his house or something.

Reliance Savings and
Loan. Evan Thompson?

He's into some
kind of a card thing.

He's staking his entire life
savings on this. I gotta stop him.

Ralph, not like that!
Listen. Bring the car around.

The bank is only about five minutes away
from here. If we hurry, we can save him.

Hurry up!

I got major problems here, and you're
running around after some shop teacher?

Math teacher,
Bill. Math teacher.

I don't believe it. All
because Duffy's game sold.

Duffy's game?

It's a long story, Bill. I'll
explain it to you sometime.

- I can't believe it.
- Duffy?

Evan? Margaret? Gotta
admit it, folks. I'm lost with this.

That teachers' room is a
moan-and-groan parlor.

For years I've been listening to
Evan talk about his card system,

and Margaret gripe about discipline
and wanting to be vice principal,

and Duffy with his
games, and so I just...

I decided I would try and do something
nice for Duffy because he's old...

and he's retiring and he
doesn't have any money.

Yeah, he could be
coming from anyplace.

Maybe out of the sun like some
sneaky fighter pilot. "Yankee dog, die."

I seen them movies. Ralph, you mean you
forced this game company to buy his game?

No, no, I didn't force
anybody to buy anything.

All I did was, I took the game
out of the dead files cabinet...

and I placed it on
Mr. Howland's desk, that's all.

That's all? Well, I did
take a pad of paper...

off the president's desk
and I scribbled a little note...

and I asked him to take
a look at it, but that's all.

It's a real good game. Don't you
remember playing it? Uh, yeah, I remember.

"Go directly to the principal's
office. Do not pass gym."

If they didn't like it, they wouldn't
buy it. I know he's out there.

I can't see him, but
I can sure smell him.

Don't get too close.

I think he's hot for the skirt.

Maybe we bag her, and that keeps
him from lifting cars and catching b*ll*ts.

If I can get this guy to obey
me, I can own this town.

What do you guys
think, huh? Huh?

Talk up. I ain't paying you
guys to sit there and grow leaves!

Get over there and case the
place. I don't wanna lose the kid.

He's tricky. Go
on. Get over there.

Let's go, counselor.
You drive, I'll lead.

There he goes. This guy can fly.

He can fly. I don't believe it.

We lost him. There was a holdup
across the street. He slipped out the back.

Did you see him fly past here? He came around
the side of the bank ten feet off the ground.

You seen that, right? Fly?

Well, Johnny, I was kind of
ducking for cover in the bank there.

You must have seen him. I ain't
nuts here! I seen him fly past here!

- I wanna hear you see him too!
- I kind of saw this
blue streak going by...

or something like that, I guess.
Red streak! The super guy wears red!

Yeah, now that you say it,
Johnny, I think red is right.

Yeah, red for sure.

Let me have the g*n.
Come on. Get out of the car.

Out of the car. Don't move it!

No, this is an official call for
backup. Sixth and Alameda.

Hey, Ralph. Ha-ha. Two
more in the basket, huh?

Keeps up, I'm gonna have to follow
you around with a wheelbarrow. Give me.

Oh, yeah, got shorter all of a
sudden, didn't you, sweetheart?

You, on the back deck,
face down, spread 'em.

Ralph, come on. Let's go.
What am I gonna do, huh?

I can't go back to the
bank looking like this,

and I gotta stop Evan from
selling his mortgage and insurance.

Where are your clothes?
In an alley behind the bank.

This is really getting nutty. I get
the feeling you're gonna self-destruct.

You're like a juggler trying to keep
five things in the air at the same time.

I'm not like a juggler.

I'm more like a guy spinning
15 plates on the end of 15 poles,

and right now I only got about five or six
of them wobbling, so everything's okay.

I just hope I didn't
lose my maroon jacket.

I paid 250 bucks for that thing.

Well, it's not a total
loss. At least I got the tie.

I've always hated that tie.

It's Evan!

There he goes. We're too late. It looks
like we've got one plate ready to fall.

Tell me more about this card game
you're thinking about getting involved in.

Not thinking, Ralph. I'm in it.

We play in the penthouse of the
Carlton Hotel, 2:00 this afternoon.

Where do you keep this money?
Oh, it's in the vault at the hotel.

In order to sit at that table you gotta
have at least 20,000 cash in the hotel safe.

20,000 cash! Are you crazy, Ev?

Do you know how much money...
Nothing can stop me, Ralph.

Well, you know, I've never
seen a high-stake game like that.

Is there any chance that I could come
along and watch? Can't do it, Ralph.

No way. And don't
bother to wish me luck.

I'm gonna walk out
of there set for life.

Carlton Hotel.
I'll be there, 2:00.

That's it, that's it!

Wait a minute. Cyler,
what are you doing?

Oh, come on, man! It's new! Give
me a break. Look. Paco sets the pick.

You drive around him,
Tony hits you for the jumper.

Hey, unless Tony's open. Then
he takes a shot, right, Coach?

No, Tony, no. You let the play develop.
Now you're the point guard now, right?

Don't you guys ever
watch the Trojans?

How come we're changing now? You know,
we was cooking with the old system here.

We're changing because the guys
from Hoover know the old game plan.

- They're ready for it.
- Ray?

Yeah, Ralph, I
wanna talk to you.

Yo. Hey, Mr. H., Coach Buck
is messing up our game here.

Nobody knows what they're supposed
to be doing. Villicana, that's enough.

Now you got any more questions, you're
gonna be asking them from the bench.

- Oh, wow.
- All right, now let's
run the game again.

Run it again until you get
it right, okay? Come on!

Now you guys can do it! All right,
all right, let's get it straight, fellas.

Well, Ray, things not working
too good out here, huh?

You looking for my
opinion? Want some advice?

Uh, no, I'm looking
for a sport coat.

You know that brown
tweed jacket you've got?

I thought if you'd let me borrow it, I'd
wear it. I wanna look big-time for the game.

And Jerry West always wears a
brown tweed jacket, and I... I'm sorry.

I sent it off to
Bakersfield today. Yeah?

How about the maroon
tweed? I like that one too. Gone.

Yeah?

How about the one you have on? I
like that one too. Sorry, it's borrowed.

But I have a real nice blue and brown
tie I'm not using, if you want to use that.

Tony, what are you doing?

See, Ray, I thought you
wanted some of my advice...

about this new USC thing
you're installing here on the team.

And I tell you what... Yeah, I
know it's a little rough right now,

but, um, well, it'll work
out before game time.

You're gonna be there, right,
buddy? Moral support? Well?

Come on, Ralph. It's my big
chance, you know. All right.

I'm gonna try and make
it. Thanks, buddy. 2:00.

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.

You're scheduled
to go on at 2:00.

Ralph, your refrigerator is
still a motel for dead ants.

Why can't you get an exterminator?
And look at these avocados,

being there four years, look
all "skushy" and "gooshy."

Look at this.

Look, Pam. Is there any way
that Bill can go on in my place?

I can't be at three places at one time. He
knows all about youth and criminal justice.

He's right about that,
counselor. Absolutely.

I got the scenario down cold.

We just have to nail these little
creeps, and put 'em away for a while...

until they know that, you
know... That we mean business.

Here. Yeah, you're
right. It's terrible.

You better be there,
Ralph. Yeah. All right.

Is there any way I could
go on at a quarter of 2:00?

All right, a quarter of 2:00,
but I can't do it any earlier.

Thanks, honey. You're a doll.
"Put 'em away." Give me a break.

Gotta get this coat
back in 15 minutes.

I'm not letting him out of my sight and
vice versa, 'cause Johnny's out there.

He's got me in his
sights. I know he does.

I can't figure out where he is.

I know he's out there someplace,
but, uh, I can't get a bead on him.

Is the super dude still
across the street, Johnny?

You ever seen
this Hinkley guy fly?

He's got this suit he
wears flying around. No, sir.

He's real quiet, a good neighbor.
I don't think he even drinks.

It's not what I'm talking
about. You ever seen him, like,

lift a car up over his head, or,
like, stop b*ll*ts with his chest?

- Ted, he's crazy!
- You see, we're looking
for leverage...

What's important to this
Hinkley guy, what he cares about.

He's just a teacher. I know
he cares about his class.

- I think we should take
his girlfriend, Johnny.
- I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't wanna blow this!

Ralph, would you relax?

You're looking terrific.
Nobody's gonna notice.

Well, you didn't have
to get all dressed up.

I know I look like every girl's
dreamboat, but in the last 12 hours...

I've lost two pairs of
pants, two pairs of shoes,

two of my best sports
jackets, a tie, my wallet,

aside from which I know I've lost my
mind somewhere in the last 12 hours.

Where'd you pick up this ensemble?
At the school lost and found.

Oh, great. Well,
at least I'm here.

Yeah.

Where's your speech? Uh, well...

Ralph, you go on
first. All right, all right.

There's the speaker coordinator. I'm
gonna go see how much time we have, okay?

Okay. Ralph! Ralph,
psst! Come here.

We've gotta keep our eye peeled
for Johnny. He could be anywhere.

It's driving me nuts. Hairs
going up on the back of my neck.

Bill, I'm real worried
about Evan. Evan?

Oh, yeah, Evan. Well,
Evan is a real trag...

Tragic case.

But, uh, could we just, uh, work out
another vibe and search for Johnny?

While you're waiting
to go on. Real simple.

Yeah, well... Well, it
won't take a second, Ralph.

Let's find a closet real close.

There must be a cloakroom. I've gotta
put something together for these people.

I don't even know what I'm
talking about. Here it is. Come on.

Oh, boy, this thing is
jammed. I can't latch it.

I'll put my foot on it. What
are you doing with the lights?

I haven't been able to tune him in,
and sometimes when I work in the dark,

it helps me with
the contrast ratio.

All right, come on. Concentrate. How
can I concentrate? I got a migraine.

All right, yes, I'm getting
something. Okay, terrific. Here we go.

Oh, my God! What's the matter?
You got Johnny? Where is he?

No, it's Evan. Bill,
they're cheating him.

They're monitoring the game from
a closed-circuit T.V. in another room.

Yeah, well, Evan is a
real tragic case, Ralph,

but, uh, Johnny Sanova
is a head case, honest.

Bill, we don't know that Johnny is around
here. Come on now. You're a big guy.

You used to take care of these cases before I
came around. You can handle this on your own.

I can't go talk to a bunch of professors when
Evan is losing his entire life's savings!

Ralph, you cannot go flying
around like Tinker Bell...

tapping everybody on the shoulder
with a magic wand... you just can't do it.

I feel like I caused it,
Bill. I'm responsible.

Here, Bill, hold my clothes. Oh.

Well, what's going on here?

Uh, you explain it.

Uh, yeah.

You're the raincoat, right? I'll need your
claim check. Oh, yeah, that's 50 cents.

Teacher's holding
deuces. King high. Deuces.

Kings up. Another draw.

Looks like I'm gonna
have to call your check.

Let's see.

Can't figure it out.
Half gone already.

Full house.

Aces and kings.

Nope, not this time, Evan.

Take it. It's yours.

That sure helped me.

So, in conclusion, I would
like to remind you all...

that if we don't get in there
soon enough, you know...

Spare the rod and spoil the
child is the ancient philosophy...

which has always worked...

And all of you,
with due respect,

eggheads...

Uh, uh, working with
this psychological junk.

Uh...

And that's it. That's the
end of the report right there.

Okay, I wanna thank you...

Freeze!

Case in point, you got here psychiatric
counseling at a state prison level.

Don't you love it?
Okay, Maxwell, let's go.

You, too, honey, before I chop
up the podium with this thing!

Oh, no.

Evan, you're on your own.

Singing telegram
for Miss Peterson!

Uh, I'm supposed to meet a gorilla
and a belly dancer. No, wrong room.

♪ Have a lovely day Have a lovely
day Have a lovely, lovely day ♪♪

And remember, Singing
Telegram, 555-5800. Bye-bye.

Okay.

I've gotta find 'em.

Oh, come on. Get
out of my holograph.

Where's the super dude?
Super dude? What super dude?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

It sounds as if you've, uh, you know, kind
of lost your steering wheel again there.

Maxwell, you know you're a dead
man, and you too, honey buns,

unless you tell me
where the super dude is.

Super dude? I don't know
anything about a super dude.

Let's go!

Oh, my...

Ray, have you seen Pam
around? I haven't seen nobody.

Paco, Tony, Cyler didn't even
show up for pregame practice.

All right. I think I know what happened.
I want you to call the police, all right?

USC is up in the stands! They're looking
at me, and I don't even have a team.

I'm gonna have to start the game without
my three starters. Just call the cops!

Okay, so we wait.

Super guy's gonna show up.
Everybody's down at that basketball game.

What is he talking
about? What super guy?

Aw, he's nuts. He's a banana
case. No offense, John.

Oh, yeah? We'll see who's nuts.

That's a winner.

Ev, no, don't fight 'em. Just go
with the flow. Just go with the...

Ray, would you call the cops?

That's him. The super dude!

What is he talking about? This
guy's as nutty as a pecan pie here.

Okay, Mr. Super Guy, from now on
you work for me, or this crowd here dies.

Uh, nobody gets
hurt here, all right?

You show me how you can lift stuff and fly
and stop b*ll*ts and all that and everything.

Mr. S., cops. We
better get out of here.

Okay. Everybody goes!

- Uh, just him and me.
- Johnny, that's the deal. Nothing else works.

Look, Johnny. We
gotta split, okay?

I mean, we can't take all these
kids and this old biddy in the van.

Take the skirt and Maxwell.
That'll keep the super dude in line.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, wow. Is that
guy a nut or what?

You want me to take those cops
out for you? We gotta get out of here.

Mess up and I
whack off these two.

He's got a super guy
suit on here, Mr. S.

What have I been telling you?

What's going on?

Put us down! Put us down or
I'm gonna waste these people!

Are you kidding?
You pull that trigger,

you got a straight shot
down to the pavement.

He's not kidding.

I'm afraid!

Do you like it? I give up.

Good. Okay, all the g*ns out.

All of 'em, out!

Oh, I'm afraid. I'm afraid.
I'm afraid of heights.

- He's acrophobic.
- Ralph, put us down.

John's upset. He's
got hydrophobia.

Get out. I don't know, Ralph.

We don't even need backup on
this anymore. I don't know. Hold it!

Ladies first. Oh, my
God. I forgot Evan.

Get down! That's
him! That's the guy!

Get down!

Get down on your knees.

Get down on your knees.

All right, everybody get out.

Go on. Get out!

Leave the money on
the table and get out.

Leave the money on the
table and get out! Get out!

Everybody, get out! Get out!

Get out!

I'm sorry, Ray. I'm just
too tired to help you.

Well, sir, I don't know what to tell
you, but if it hadn't been for the ball...

The courage of this Margaret
Ditwyler teacher that you got here,

I mean, that maniac might have k*lled
seven kids and Miss Davidson and myself.

I mean, uh... I
can't believe it.

You mean she actually stepped
up to him in the classroom...

and got rid of him?

She whacked that wacko with
a steel chair, ran him right out.

You'd have been real
proud of her. I sure was.

It's gonna be in all the papers tomorrow, and
I just thought that you at Whitney High...

ought to be real proud of the kind
of teachers that are employed here.

Oh, yes. Yes, of course.

Margaret is one of our
most treasured instructors.

Well, actually, she's in
line for the vice principal.

Oh, she... Well,
I didn't know that.

That sounds like a real
terrific choice. Congratulations.

Yeah, great choice.
Okay, Mr. Knight.

It's nice to meet you.

Anyway, I was doing pretty good, even against
a rigged game till they tried getting rough.

Woke up in the hospital with
the whole 20 grand in my pocket.

Talk about your mysteries. Well, I'll bet
you'll keep that money in the bank now, huh?

Yeah, yeah. Gotta revise
this system a little bit more.

Well, I missed my
chance. I missed it cold.

Well, I'm sorry, Ray. You
know, I missed it, and I...

Well, one good thing. At least the game
was delayed so long that the scouts left,

so they didn't see Tony and Paco
give each other bloody noses...

running around like
a couple of rummies.

Well, you know, the nice thing about
dreams is there's always next year.

Right back.

I am so tired.

Huh? Well, if it's any help,

I did it with the principal.

I mean, I think Ma
Ditwyler... Excuse me...

Miss Ditwyler is gonna
be vice principal, I hope.

Oh, yeah? Hey, thanks, Bill. That's
great. How'd you do with the class?

Well, I told them that this super dude
thing was insanity and Johnny was nuts.

Nuts! Oh, can't believe it.

Well, maybe in that case, he
might really get religion this time.

What do you think?

Yea, though I walk
through the valley of death,

I will fear no evil.

Thy rod and thy
staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.
