01x05 - Tests and Breasts

Post by bunniefuu »

"Puberty usually begins between the ages of 11 and 14

"when profound hormonal changes occur.

"The onset of these changes

"is the function of a small gland

"called the pituitary.

"This gland sends chemical signals throughout the body, "most notably resulting in height increase, and hair growth in the genital area."

[ALL GIGGLING]

Hey, hey! Knock it off!

You think this is funny?

Just try me.

Okay, all right.

Here is, uh, the female reproductive system.

"The uterus is composed of 2 main parts..."

What the hell is that?

You think she's single?

It looks like it's from outer space.

Shut up.

Weir!

You have something to say?

No, sir.

When you get the clap 'cause you weren't paying attention in health class, is that gonna be funny, too?

No.

I didn't think so.

"Cervix, it has a fine canal running through it opening into the cavity of the uterus above."

Didn't Sigourney Weaver k*ll that thing in "Alien"?

Be quiet.

"During pregnancy..."

Remember when it popped out of that guy's stomach?

No, idiot, it jumped out of his chest.

-Shut up. -All right, Weir!

Since you seem to know everything, you know what, I got a great idea.

Why don't I shut my big mouth, and you come up and teach the class.

Sorry.

I said get up here.

Get up here! Let's go.

Oh, uh, excuse me, Dr. Love?

[LAUGHTER]

Could you show me where the ovaries are located?

-Ovaries? -Ovaries.

[IMITATES BUZZER] Sorry.

Uh, cervix? Cervix.

Cervix.

"Cervix says" no.

[LAUGHTER]

Hey, all right Pachowski, you want to go help him?

Huh?

The vag*na, Weir, the va -

Easy one, Easy one.

Basic stuff, guys know it.

Go ahead, point to it.

I - I don't know.

[ALL SNICKERING]

All right, Mr. Weir, Instead of yucking it up in class, you might want to pay attention, or you're going to have a very difficult life.

Okay? Sit down, Dr. Love.

[LAUGHTER]

Dr. Love

[SIGHS]

At least I didn't get head lice.

[SNICKERS]

Thanks for those pierogies, Tricia.

-They were delicious. -Oh, you're welcome.

-Hey. -Hey.

Hey, good game on Saturday, Eddie.

Jennifer, I've been hearing some terrific things about you from my sources in the English department.

-Mmhmm. -As you were.

Hey, Brad.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Stop by the office. We'll rap.

Sure thing, Mr. Rosso.

[SCOFFS] Peace, brother.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

Rock on, Kirby.

Okay, Mr. Desario, it's time for your favorite class.

See ya.

Okay, come on, people, simmer down.

Come on, let's go.

This is my time, not yours.

Hey, chatty Cathy, You sit on the furniture at home?

Okay, a reminder about tomorrow's test.

It's tomorrow. [ALL GROANING]

Uh, Kowchevski?

Desario?

Didn't we take a test last week?

Your point?

Well, I just don't think you've taught us enough in the past week to give us another test.

[ALL SNICKERING]

Okay, people, in math, every week you build off what you learned the week before.

I mean, it's like a bus.

And you keep missing the bus, you're never gonna be able to catch up.

But, uh, I don't ride the bus, sir.

[ALL SNICKERING]

Yeah, flunk another test, Desario, and you just might have to come back here next year and ride the bus with me again.

So the guy looks up at her, right?

And he says, "How do you think I rang the doorbell?"

[LAUGHTER]

Oh, man, that's so raunchy.

I don't get it.

What's to get?

Jocks don't know how to tell jokes.

Do you get it?

I don't really like jokes.

I don't think they're funny.

I mean, maybe if we understood it, it would be funny.

They were laughing pretty hard.

Trust me, they're idiots.

It's not funny.

Hi, Sam.

Oh Hi, Cindy.

How are you?

I'm good. And you?

Uh, pretty good.

Are you going to the muscular dystrophy carnival?

I'm in charge of the ice cream booth.

Yeah, I heard about that.

Oh, hey, Dr. Love, hey, I can't find my girlfriend's cervix.

Can you help me out?

Okay, what was that all about?

Oh, that was just... an inside joke.

Anyways, if you need another volunteer for the ice cream booth, I'm around.

Well, thanks, but Betsy's already doing it.

But make sure you stop by, though.

Okay.

All right, see ya.

Hey, Tommy, are you coming to the muscular dystrophy carnival?

Excuse me, Dr. Love?

Would you autograph my genitals?

[LAUGHTER]

I took 20 bucks from my mom, right?

But she thought it was my brother.

She completely went nuts on him, hit him over the head with a spatula.

I mean, it was hilarious.

Sounds it.

[LIQUID SPRAYING]

God! You bastard! Why'd you do that?

I don't know. I don't know.

God, what are you, lit or something?

You know? Jeez!

I'm sorry. Mellow out, all right?

How do you like it?

You know, now I gotta walk around all day with pop on my shirt.

You know? Thanks a lot.

Yeah, yeah.

Man. [LAUGHS]

I get these weird urges sometimes.

I should probably go apologize.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Kowchevski says if I flunk this test tomorrow I'll have to take algebra again.

Do you think you might flunk it?

No, I'm definitely gonna flunk it.

Do you take algebra?

Uh, no. I took it last year.

I take trig.

Oh, you must study a lot.

Math isn't this big deal that everyone thinks it is.

It's just a few basic formulas and some shortcuts, and then you plug in the numbers.

Shortcuts?

You mean, like, tricks?

You could call them that.

You could definitely do it if you wanted to.

Oh, yeah, I know.

I mean, if I study, I could do it.

It's not like I'm a bus driver.

It's just, you know, it doesn't interest me.

It's so lame.

But do you really want to be in Kowchevski's class again?

Hell, no. I'd rather be in jall.

Well, I could help you study.

It could be kind of fun.

So the guy says, "How do you think I rang the doorbell?"

[LAUGHS]

So it is funny?

What does it mean?

You guys are so young.

You're only a year older than we are.

Yeah, come on, Harris, what does it mean?

He doesn't get it, either.

Oh, I get it.

-Then tell us. -I can't.

-Why not? -'Cause then you'd know.

So, that's the point, isn't it?

You have to find out for yourselves.

That's why we're asking.

I told you. He doesn't know.

If I didn't know, would I be with Judith here?

Oh, Harris, you're so bad.

Love is like homework.

You got to study if you want to get an "A".

So then the guy says, "How do you think I rang the doorbell?"

Do you get it?

I don't.

Dad?

No.

You know who's funny?

That Red Buttons. [CHUCKLES]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Oh, who could that be?

Oh, that's Daniel.

He's a friend of mine from school.

I'll get the door.

It's dark out, and you're a - a girl.

Hi, is, uh, Lindsay here?

Yeah.

Okay, so... how do you want to do this?

I don't know.

I've never done this before.

Okay, well, in your textbook the -

Did you bring your textbook?

No.

Oh, I probably should have, huh?

[EXHALES] Yeah.

[SIGHS] Man.

Screwed up already.

No, it's okay.

I think I have mine from last year.

Oh, great.

You know, there's these practice tests in here.

And they're kind of helpful.

Just talking about studying makes me want to take a nap.

Hey, wait, what are you doing?

What?

You can't smoke in here.

I - I mean, I don't care.

It's just, my parents.

Oh, right, right, right, I - I'm sorry.

I got an idea.

I'll go outside and smoke this.

But when I get back, blaze through those tricks of yours.

What do you got there?

Uh, um...

Nothing.

Nothing?

What's that?

Let me see.

These types of books just make me think of all the crap that can go wrong inside you.

Why you are reading this?

I'm taking sex ed with Mr. Fredricks.

He embarrassed me in front of the whole class just because I'm a little bit behind when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Yeah, I know how that goes.

You do?

You know, you're not gonna learn anything you can use from a book like that.

I'm not?

No.

I'll tell you what.

I'll find you at school tomorrow.

I'll set you up.

With what?

Don't worry. It's cool.

So, let's try a different one.

How do you solve this type of problem?

Use the quadratic formula?

Exactly.

And what is the quadratic formula?

"X" equals...

negative "b", plus or minus the square root.

Lindsay, when you told me you were gonna teach me tricks, I thought you meant, like, real tricks.

What do you mean, like magic tricks?

Yeah, well, sort of.

I mean, right now you're kind of just teaching me math.

Well, yeah, but you're gonna get it.

I know, but I can't learn all this.

The test is tomorrow.

There's no way.

I - I don't know what else to do.

I'll be cool.

Really?

Yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

No.

You didn't.

Okay.

Oh, wanna you want to do something?

Uh, I don't think I can.

It's a school night and everything.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

See ya.

Good luck.

See ya tomorrow.

The Hulk could kick The Thing's butt any day.

No way!

The Thing could definitely take The Hulk.

Even if The Hulk could b*at him, all it has to do is wait till The Hulk turns into Bill Bixby again and cream him, no problem.

You know, you're right.

Hey, Weir.

Come here.

I got something you might be interested in.

Check it out, but don't lose it.

Okay.

I want it back.

[CHUCKLES] All right.

All right.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Don't open it here, man.

I don't want it getting confiscated.

Know what I'm saying?

Okay.

All right.

Yeah.

Confiscated?

Come on, let's go.

[DRUMMING ON LOCKER]

Hey, chump.

I need your help.

Come here.

Come on. All right.

I need to get something out of this classroom.

If you see Kowchevski coming, you just bang on this door, all right?

Hey, don't screw me over. Look alive.

I'm alive, man.

You don't have to hit me.

All right.

I'll be out in a second.

Hey, Nick, what's up?

Oh, hey, what's up, Sara?

Did you hear that Danielle and I were gonna sing

"Super Trouper" at the talent show?

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, we're gonna dress up like Abba.

Wow.

Abba, huh?

Mmhmm.

They're from, uh, Switzerland, right?

No, you know, I think they're from Sweden, actually.

[DRUMMING]

What are you doing?

I'm, uh thinking about Abba.

Yeah, I'll talk to you later.

All right.

Well, uh, talk to you later.

I think I'm getting a wart on my wrist.

Jesus, man, this algebra test is crazy.

What language is this?

How do you get rid of a wart?

Hey. I'm trying to think here, okay?

Oh, I'm sorry, man.

Come on.

It looks like some kind of movie or something.

Let me see that. Let me see it.

Hang on.

Oh, my god.

It's a naked woman.

What's she doing?

Who cares what she's doing?

She's naked.

It's a dirty movie.

You mean, like a p*rn?

Oh, ew! Give me that.

What am I supposed to do with a p*rn?

You watch it over and over.

Ew!

Only perverts watch p*rn, right?

Well, then every guy in America is a pervert.

The meaning of that joke is right here.

How am I supposed to watch it?

I don't even have a projector.

Well, I do. Give it to me.

After school today, we go to my house, and we watch this movie from beginning to end.

Agreed?

Okay.

Hey.

I ganked the test.

Wait. What?

[WHISPERING] I stole it.

From Kowchevski's office.

He's got no clue.

I need your help.

I can't figure any of this out.

[STAMMERING] I can't.

Sure, you can.

This stuff's easy for you.

No, I mean...

I shouldn't.

Why not?

Hey.

Hey.

Don't worry.

I'm not gonna be hitting you up every time I have a math test.

I promise.

So for this one -

Look, I don't mean to be uptight, but it's just -

Why don't I talk to Kowchevski?

What? Why?

I'll ask him for an extension.

He gave me one once. He likes me.

I'll tell him I'm tutoring you and that you're getting the hang of it, but you just need a little more time.

Wouldn't it just be easier to fill out this test?

Let me talk to him, okay?

Forget it.

That dirtbag's not gonna get an extension.

But, Mr. Kowchevski, I was working with him last night, and he's really learning.

Daniel's the kind of student who needs more attention, you know?

No. Daniel's the kind of student who needs to just disappear.

Excuse me?

Look, he wastes my time.

He wastes class time.

And now he's wasting your time.

Well, no, he's not wasting anybody's time.

I mean, come on, isn't it your job to teach him?

Lindsay, I uh...

I know Daniel is cute with his bedroom eyes and his stringy hair, but he's a loser.

And losers pull down winners.

Now... you're a smart girl.

Don't let your hormones get in the way.

Excuse me.

Where's that test?

In my jacket. Let's go.

OK. 74 times 23, put that in parentheses.

And "x" equals 19y, and "y" equals 8.

Damn, it's weird you can do this in your head.

Like a brainiac or something.

Thanks.

Man, I cannot wait to see Kowchevski's face when he hands this back to me.

It's gonna blow his mind, Yeah, but, Daniel, this isn't over, right?

I'm gonna tutor you, and you won't have to steal any more tests.

No. Yeah. I know.

No. I know.

I'm gonna be, like, a guy with one of those things.

An abacus?

Yeah.

7y4x equals 9.

[LAUGHS]

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

Come on, people.

This is just a test, not a death sentence.

If you're prepared, you got nothin' to worry about.

[FUNK MUSIC]

Lindsay.

Congratulations.

Turns out your friend Daniel didn't need that extension after all.

He got an "A" on the algebra test.

Yeah, well, I told you I helped him study.

Did you help him cheat?

No.

I've got an anonymous note that says you did.

Well, I didn't.

I didn't cheat.

I think you did.

We'll deal with this tomorrow.

You're in a lot of trouble, young lady.

Why were you talking to Mr. Kowchevski?

Huh?

Are you joining the mathletes again?

No!

Jeez. Sorry I asked.

[SIGHS]

Do you have popcorn?

Bill, this is a p*rn.

You don't eat popcorn during a p*rn.

This is taking forever.

Yeah, we could've made our own p*rn by now.

Hey, do you want let the projector to eat the film and have that Daniel guy k*ll you?

'Cause, I mean, we can do that, too.

All right. There.

[PROJECTOR RUNNING]

k*ll the lights.

Aye, aye, sir.

Here we go.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Wow.

Hello.

How'd you like to come home to that every night?

[CHUCKLES]

Wow.

Wow.

He's in good shape.

Ooh!

Oh, my god. [CHUCKLES]

Uh...

This is... weird.

Wow.

That guy's got the best job in the world.

Hey, you think there's any short p*rn stars?

I'm so dead.

What did you tell Kowchevski?

Nothing.

Did you tell him that we cheated?

No!

He could see it all over my face.

Look, then it's not over.

Anonymous note?

That means nothing.

Get in.

Look, as long as we don't, you know, admit it, they got jack on us.

You wanna deny it?

Yeah, definitely.

Daniel, I don't -

Listen, Lindsay.

You're good at math.

I'm good at this sort of thing.

And when something like this happens, you deny everything.

But I'm not a good liar.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

Lindsay, I got you into this.

I'm gonna get you out of this.

But you gotta trust me.

We're in this together.

So, you want me to thread it up again?

I'm goin' home.

Are we gonna go to hell for this?

I don't wanna go to hell.

Hey, Sam.

You hardly touched your chicken a la king.

Aren't you hungry?

Huh?

Uh, no.

I had a really big... snack at Neal's.

After school.

May I be excused?

Okay, but we're having chocolate coconut squares for dessert.

Uh...

Maybe later.

All right, sweetie.

-Of course. -He's at that stage, you know?

Yes, I understand totally.

All right. goodbye.

You went through that.

You wouldn't eat a thing.

That was Mr. Kowchevski on the phone.

Apparently, my daughter is now a cheater.

What?

She cheated on a math test.

Now she's facing suspension.

My Aunt Sally. Lindsay!

It's not true.

You're a good student.

I don't understand why you would cheat.

Well, she's hanging around with the wrong crowd.

They're lying and cheating, and, next thing you know, she's Patty Hearst, and she's got a g*n to our head.

But Dad, I just told you it's not true.

Maybe I don't believe you.

You don't even ask me my side of the story?

You just jump to conclusions and start yelling at me?

God, that is so sick.

You know what? Fine.

Believe what you wanna believe.

I don't even care.

Whatever.

You know, thanks for all the support.

[DOOR SLAMS]

So then the guy says to her, "How do you think I rang the doorbell?"

[LAUGHTER]

It's a pretty good one, huh?

Lindsay, I need to talk to you.

Some of the mathletes have been saying things about you.


Yeah? Like what?

There's a rumor going around that you cheated on a math test.

I told them that's impossible.

Even though Lindsay's not a mathlete anymore, she would never break the league's code of honor.

Yeah? Well, guess what, Millie?

I did cheat.

I lied and I cheated, and then I lied some more.

[LAUGHS]

You're funny, Lindsay.

I knew it wasn't true.

[EERIE MUSIC]

So, anyone see "Dukes of Hazzard" last night?

Yeah.

It was a good one.

Yeah. Boss Hogg is really funny.

Hey, what's going on, you guys?

Yeah.

All righty, see you later. Bye.

Hey, Sam.

Uh, what do you want?

Um, well, I was just wondering if you could help me out with the ice cream booth, 'cause Betsy can't make it to the carnival.

Uh, uh, well, it turns out that I can't make it, either.

Oh, that's too bad.

Um, I'm a little busy right now.

So -

Yeah, okay. Sure.

I'll, uh... I'll see you later.

Wasn't that great when the Dukes handcuffed Roscoe, Enos, and Boss Hogg together?

That was really funny.

Is there anything you want to tell me before the meeting this afternoon?

Just...

I didn't cheat.

You know, something like this happened to me when I was in high school.

Got a minute?

I guess.

I felt bad for this kid Bruce Conforti.

So I'd kinda "help him" on biology tests.

Okay, we cheated.

But after a while, I realized he was the one being cheated, out of something priceless.

Knowledge.

So, one day, I just told him, "I'm not gonna do that anymore."

And -

He studied and he got all As his own?

Close.

He b*at the living crap outta me.

And when I say, "b*at the living crap outta me,"

I mean, the living crap.

All I did was help Daniel study.

Okay.

I trust you.

Hey, Kim.

Where's Daniel?

I don't know. Beats me.

We have a disciplinary meeting after school.

Ugh. You nervous?

You know, don't worry about it.

Daniel gets out of stuff like this all the time.

Well, I shouldn't feel bad, right?

I mean, Kowchevski is a jerk, and I'm gonna tutor Daniel, and he'll pass the class.

I mean, everything's gonna work out. Right?

[LAUGHS]

I'm sorry.

You think that you and Daniel are gonna be, like, study buddies?

He wants to learn.

And what about the next test?

He'll just get the answers from somebody else.

He always does.

Aah!

-Hey. -Hey!

You ready to stick it to the man?

Partners in crime?

Give me five. [LAUGHS]

Hey, don't leave me hangin'.

All right.

[LAUGHS]

Ow!

Hi.

Another thing they do is the old cop trick.

They'll get you alone, and they'll tell you I confessed.

But don't believe 'em.

'Cause I'll never confess, okay?

Well, I'm going to.

I can't keep lying.

What? Why not?

What is this, some kind of game to you?

You already got me to cheat and to lie to my parents and to Mr. Rosso.

I mean -

I know, but why stop now?

We're almost home free.

All right. Lindsay. Lindsay, I understand.

You care about your grades and your transcript.

But if you get suspended, it goes on your transcript.

Then you really will be screwed.

You're manipulating me.

What?

You're manipulating me.

-No, I'm not. -Yes, you are.

And, you know, it's really hard to say no to you, but I have to. I'm sorry.

I can't go in there and lie.

I'm not going to.

-Okay, fine. Don't lie. -What?

No, let's go in there, and we'll tell 'em what we did.

What's the difference?

You'll get a nice slap on the wrist, and I'll get, what, suspended? Expelled?

That is not fair, Daniel.

What do you think, I want to be terrible at school?

You think I like it?

I wish I was as smart as you.

I wish it all came easy to me.

But it doesn't.

You know, when I was... when I was in sixth grade, they told us when we got to junior high, we'd be either in track one, track two, or track three.

Track one's the smart kids, track two's the normal kids, track three is the dumb kids.

And what do you think I got?

How do you think it feels to be told you're dumb when you're 11 years old?

You are not dumb.

I just wanted to prove him wrong.

Just once.

Even if I am cheating.

"If a pregnant woman has sex, can the baby get... poked?"

[LAUGHTER]

Hey. Hey. Hyenas!

Can I get through one question without you guys gettin' hysterical on me?

Come on. Uh... listen, sex is perfectly safe for the fetus.

It's, uh it's not gonna come out with dents on its head like a golf ball or something, I mean, Dellage got poked in the eye.

But what are you gonna do? [LAUGHTER]

I'm kiddin'. I'm kiddin', Dellage.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

Listen. Chapter 13 in the text tomorrow for a pop quiz.

Whoop! You didn't hear it from me.

Hey, uh, Sam? Sam?

Could I talk to you for a minute?

In my office?

Sure.

When I was goin' through these questions, I was a little disturbed by yours.

H... how did you know which one was mine?

I thought, I thought it was anonymous.

You're the only one with "Star Trek" notebook paper.

Oh.

Where'd you find out about this activity?

Uh...

I saw a movie.

Oh, I see.

Um...

Well, you know, in movies like that, they... they sensationalize certain things.

But in reality, those things don't usually happen.

You know what I'm tryin' to say?

All right. I'm gonna tell you the truth.

Plain language. But listen, you can't tell anybody we had this conversation.

Your permission slip for sex ed doesn't cover this stuff.

I could get in a lot of trouble for what I'm gonna tell you.

All right?

Okay.

Fair enough.

Um...

Certain men, uh, not me.

[FUNK MUSIC]

Huh? t*rture over.

We're done.

But just... just I mean, those movies, it's not reality.

Okay, if it was reality, I'd be freaked out myself.

-Okay? -Yeah.

Uh, thank you, Mr. Fredricks.

No problem.

All right. Get outta here, cowboy.

Uh, I - I have just one more question.

What is it?

Uh, could you explain this joke to me?

So, there's this guy with no arms and no legs...

Hey.

If you want to tell the truth, it's cool.

Whatever you want.

No.

Daniel, let's just stick to our story.

Okay.

When we get in there, let me handle it. Okay?

Well, I'm cheesed off right now, and I don't care.

Just try to keep your temper.

Hi. We're Lindsay Weir's parents.

Uh, Mom, Dad.

What are you doing here?

Oh. Honey, we... we felt terrible about last night.

You've always been truthful with us, so we never should've doubted you.

Nobody falsely accuses my daughter!

Honey. Shh.

It's okay. I mean, it happens.

Not to members of this family, it doesn't!

[SHUSHING]

I'm gonna give this Kowchevski joker a piece of my mind.

Your father even closed the store.

Now, let's be patient and try and hear everyone out.

Let's be a team.

We don't actually know that anyone cheated.

I do.

Well, fine. Unfortunately, an anonymous note isn't sufficient proof.

There was no note.

There's no note?

No. I use this as a ploy sometimes to get a confession.

How do you expect to have real relationships with these kids if you're lying to them?

Let me tell you something.

I knew kids like Desario in Vietnam.

Those were the kind of kids that got you k*lled.

[DOOR OPENS] Everyone's here!

And if she said she didn't help this kid cheat, then she didn't!

She tutored him, and it worked.

Yes. You shouldn't be punishing her.

You should be paying her for doing your job.

Mr. Weir, uh, Harold, it's recently come to my attention that there was no anonymous note written.

There was no note?

No. It was a fraud.

-I - I apologize. -See? I told you.

But we're still not entirely convinced these two didn't cheat.

Oh, god.

So you want to punish my daughter, but you have no proof?

Look, Mr. Weir, it should've never come to this.

I've talked to Lindsay.

I know she didn't do anything.

Daniel, did you cheat on this test?

-No. -Good.

-Then I'm satisfied. -You're satisfied?

-I'm not satisfied. -Give it up, Frank.

-It's over. -What is going on here?

I took off work for this?

I apologize for the inconvenience.

No, no, no. Hold on a second.

I've got an idea.

I have the algebra test that Daniel took.

If he can do the first problem, I will not only get down on my hands and knees and beg everyone in this room for forgiveness, but I'll quit.

I will resign.

I'll never teach again.

That'd be a start.

I already took the test.

You can't make me take it again.

Yes, I can.

Come on, Daniel, one problem and this all goes away.

Come on, son.

Go ahead, Daniel.

Okay.

I just need to use the quadratic formula.

See?

Look at him go.

Hey, Sam.

Oh. Hi, Cindy.

I'm sorry if I was acting weird at lunch.

Were you acting weird?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, anyways, uh, it turns out that I can go to the carnival.

So, I mean, if you don't... if you still don't have a scooper, I'm avallable.

Well, Jeanine already said that she was gonna.

Okay.

But, hey, we can always use another scooper.

And, look. grab a brush.

Thank you. [CHUCKLES]

So, what time should I be there?

Well, I don't know. It starts at, like, noon, so maybe you should come at 11:00.

A.M.? P.M.?

[LAUGHTER]

12 noon.

No. Sam.

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

He's got a problem, that's all.

What is that?

That is a student that Mr. Rosso believes in.

Uh, Led Zeppelin is actually the name of a popular rock band.

I know who Led Zeppelin is!

Now what the hell's goin' on here?

Are you kidding us with this crap?

-Lindsay, you lied to us? -Mom, I didn't -

Do you have any idea how much money I'm losing?

Look, don't blame Lindsay.

It's not her fault.

It's mine.

She was just tryin' to help me.

Nobody else ever does.

I mean, what do you think, I want to be terrible at school?

You think I like it?

I wish I was smart, you know?

I wish it all came easy to me, but it doesn't.

You know, when I was in sixth grade, they told us when we got to junior high, we'd be either in track one, track two, or track three.

Track one's the smart kids.

Track two's the normal kids.

Track three's the dumb kids.

And what do you think I got?

How do you think it feels to be told that you're dumb in ink when you're 11 years old?

I mean, where are you supposed to go from there?

[LAUGHS HEARTILY]

[STILL LAUGHING]

[WHISPERING] Be cool.

[LAUGHS]

Look. She's as high as a kite!

My daughter is not high!

Harold, what is going on?

I - I thinks it's a nervous reaction...

I don't know what's happening.

To a tense situation. I don't -

[LAUGHS]

-Cheese and crackers. -He's track three!

Lindsay, what's going on?!

Will you stop laughing?

-You started all this. -No, I did not start all this!

-Yes, you did. -Yes, sir, you did.

This school is the wrong school for my daughter!

I asked him to do one question.

You do not know what you're talking about!

She's a track one girl!
