02x22 - School's Out

Post by bunniefuu »

What's a five-letter word
for perfect?

Mel gibson.

That's nine letters.

But it's the right answer.

Try ideal.

It fits.

Thanks, harry.

( Deep sigh )

So much time,
so little to do.

I always figured
I'd outgrow spring fever.

Maybe we should
call it a day

It's : in the morning,
and you're on a case.

I'm looking for a kid
who blows up toilets bowls.

I feel a contagious flu
coming on.

I don't feel
so good either.

Kind of an achy feeling?

We should take the day off,
have a picnic

And recover for tomorrow.

What's a seven-letter word
for unethical?

Try immoral.

Iok is hot.

How did you get so good
at crosswords?

The answers
are here on page .

( Fuller
clears his throat
)

I realize
you're all hard at work

So I'll make
this brief.

It's all yours, captain.

Thank you, hanson.

As some of you may have noticed,
summer is almost here

And school
is coming
to a close.

City hall has decided

That as we concentrated
on high school undercover work

We will also be closed
for the summer.

You'll all
be given

Extra
vacation time.

All right.
Yes.

Whoo!

You'll have the opportunity

To work at a variety
of different departments.

Rotation.

Rotation.

Police and civic programs.

You'll have
priority

For any department
you're interested in.

When do we
come back?

Deputy chief glanzman told me

We'll return
just before the fall semester--

Around labor day.

A list of available jobs
will be posted in the morning.

Ioki:
excuse me,
captain.

You were told
we were coming back?

That's what I said.

But you didn't say
we were coming back for sure.

If we're coming
back for sure

You would
have said

We're coming back
around labor day.

Are we coming back?

I don't know.

Staff:
what?

Fuller:
look, guys.

I've seen this
happen before.

A good program gets put on hold.

Then some accountant decides

They save more money
than the program's worth.

End of program.

We can't let this happen.

The city
loves us,
right?

The mayor says
we're his pet project.

Let's not
panic yet.

I'm asking for permission

To see the city
administrative officer.

See what the budget
boys are up to.

That's good.
That's good.

No, that's bad.

He'll try b*ating me down
with bureaucratic buzzwords

Like "obsolescence "
and "cost effectiveness."

That's bad.

Well, not that bad.

I'll make a case
to the city council

And prove
that we are not obsolete

And we are cost effective.

Will it work?

Not if they've
already made up their minds.

Man:
in point of fact

Although eyewitness testimony
was sketchy

And contradictory

There was strong

Ballistic evidence
linking sacco's g*n

To the actual murders.

Some experts now feel
sacco was guilty

But vanzetti was not.

( Toilet flushing )

( expl*si*n )

The mad bomber
has struck again.

( Elated students celebrate )

You all know
the routine.

( Fire alarm rings )

The end of another
grueling school day.

Hanson, how you doing
with the mad bomber?

He flushed another
m- down the toilet.

Water shut down
and we got the day off.

Any suspects?

Yeah, the whole
senior class.

Put penhall on it.

He loves hanging out
in bathrooms.

I know it's spring.

Nobody wants to work
or go to class

But plumbing repairs
cost the city money

Both:
so find the bomber.

Penhall:
foot patrol

Computer programming,
traffic

S.w.a.t.--

There's a world
of opportunities
out there, folks.

Listen to this.

"Community relations--

"People with good
communication skills

"Who can work
with the public

And enhance the reputation
of the police department."

Translation:
must have great legs.

Find anything?

Yeah, anti-terrorism.

They've got great uniforms.

You might look into it.

That is

If you catch
the mad bomber.

Any assignment
sounds good to me.

Aren't you tired
of going to high school?

You sound like dorothy.

She's driving me crazy!

I just love
your car, cynthia.

Oh, thanks.

It's kind of yuppie

But it's such
a great machine.

What do you
drive, douglas?

A hog.

He drives a motorcycle

But we're shopping
for a new car.

That's great.

My husband goes dirt bike riding
every saturday.

He just loves it.

Penhall:
he must be very well-rounded.

( Blow landing )

( Gasps )

What do you think?

I think
it's fabulous.

This is one of the most
adorable little houses

On the market...
In your price range.

This whole place could fit
in my loft.

Dorothy let me show you
something really special.

This is a guest bathroom.
Look at that floor.

That's the original tile.
Isn't it a kick?

What is it?

It's barnyard motif.

What are those
animals there doing?

Dorothy, let me show
you the upstairs.

You know as well as anyone,
captain

The plan is for your office
to shut down for summer

And return in the fall.

But why close us down
this summer?

We ran straight through last
year and we had plenty of work.

It's purely dollars and cents.

Closing down
a high school
undercover unit

Is cost effective.

Cost effective.

That's right.

Look, you remember
the lombard shelter project.

Yes, it was
a good program.

I was assigned there.

It was a good program.

We got temporarily shut down.

I remember that.

Then we were reclassified
as obsolete

And never reactivated.

I think you're jumping
to conclusions.

The jump street program

Hasn't been reclassified
as obsolete.

You haven't been
reclassified at all.

We haven't?

No, we don't use that word
anymore.

What you've been
is de-prioritized.

De-prioritized?

I must say...

You make a very impressive
candidate, miss hoffs.

With your education
and obvious abilities

You could go far
in community relations.

Oh, thank you

But I'd only be involved
for the summer.

I'm attached to

The jump street program

And my first choice
is police work.

This is police work,
officer hoffs.

I think you'll find what we do

To be both challenging
and extremely rewarding.

I'm sure I will.

There are many good cops
in the department.

Few have the presence

To represent the police
in the media.

The media?

Like, as in television?

Let me be honest.

This department is starved

For well-groomed,
articulate officers

Who can speak to the public

The news media,
even to the city council.

Don't take this summer job too
lighty, officer hoffs.

You could end up working
for the mayor's office.

The riots that
followed the trial

Of mr. Sacco
and mr. Vanzetti

Were far more
eventful...

Is anybody listening?

I know it's difficult
to concentrate

But some of this
may appear on the final.

Okay, here's the deal.

We all pay attention
for the next half hour

And I return all the confiscated
squirt weapons

From the last two weeks.

Come on, that's a great offer.

We don't need the g*ns back,
mr. Morris.

Morris:
okay, knock it off.

Knock it off!

Hey, new guy.

Now!

So what do you
think, man?

About what?

"About what?"

About the bomber.

Don't you think
he's cool?

You know who
the bomber is?

Of course.

The bomber is a great guy.

He's a humanitarian

And he cares for
his fellow students.

But do you know
who he is?

Why do you want to know?

Because I'd kind of like
to meet him.

Well, I heard the bomber's
a pretty tough guy to pin down.

Besides, he flies solo.

So you don't know who he is?

You're not listening to me.

Who's that guy?

That guy...

Is jimmy touchek.

The guy's a real loser.

You think he could
be the bomber?

That guy?

Listen,
the bomber's cool.

That guy's a pack rat.

Look at him,
he steals fruit.

Why don't you eat this.

It might help you.

Sure, I'll eat it.

It's cool, man.

I'd like your ' and '
budget reports

And your projections
for the next five years.

What do you mean you don't
project that far in advance?

I've told you,
this is officer h.t. Ioki.

Then who do I speak to?

Damn.

Penhall, you better use
both sides of that paper.

We're not made of money
around here.

Choke on it,
harry.

Hi, how you doing?

Don't ask.

How did your interview go?

It went great.

The mayor's wife
and chief of police

Have this new campaign

And need a spokesperson
to handle the media.

And they picked you.

I'm a lock.

Yeah.

Eat your heart out.

While they have
you riding

On that hot motorcycle
writing parking tickets

I'll deal with the media
in air-conditioned comfort.

I'm thinking of attaching myself
to the intelligence unit.

As what, a paper weight?

Everybody listen up.

There is a new
buzzword downtown--

"De-prioritized."

What the hell
does that mean?

It means
that we've been moved down

On the list
for discretionary funding.

If they run out of funds
before they get to us

This program could be k*lled.

k*lled-- as in "gone forever"?

Could be.

I want everybody
to think very carefully

About the job
they choose for this summer

Because jump street
may not reopen this fall.

We've been de-prioritized.

( Knocking )

Yeah?

Captain, I've got the arrest
efficiency determinations here.

I should have those
budget reports by tomorrow.

Thank you, ioki.

Listen--

How does it really look?

Not great.

I'll do my own budget projection
for the program.

I'll have it ready tomorrow.

Ioki.

You're a good man.

You can have
your pick

Of any job in the department.

I've already got a job I want.

Can I help you, pal?

Will this outlet
carry a hot plate and a tv?

Why?

Because I'll be
looking after this place.

I like my hot plate
sitting next to my television.

Listen, this is my building.

Not this summer.

I got years seniority

And sitting in this empty
building over the summer

Is my reward
for faithful services rendered.

You can't come in here
and take my job like that.

I just have.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Let me ask you a question.

How many years seniority
have you got, mate?

Do we have
to do this?

We're only having dinner
with them.

I know.

It's just...

Having dinner with people
makes me uncomfortable.

Couldn't we
just eat?

What is wrong with you?

It's just when people
have dinner together

They take it so seriously.

They set the table,
put napkins in their laps

Get dressed up

And act so proper.

I'll laugh, I just know it.

This is my husband, steve.

How do you do.

Here.

Oh, thanks.

Could you chill this
for us, dear?

Sure.

So... How about a margarita?

Steve makes the best in town.

I learned when we vacationed
in puerto vallarta.

Sounds great.

How about a beer?

I have a case of german dark ale
that will blow your mind.

Honey?

Okay.

Let me get you a glass.

I'll take the bottle.

Okay. Here.

Thanks.

That looks great.

I'm making
a nouvelle veal

And pepper
tortellini

In basil
cream sauce.

Penhall:
you can do that?

( Shattering glass )

Sorry.

That's okay.

( Giggles )

What's so funny, doug?

Uh, nothing.

( Hysterics )

( Hysterics )

I'm sorry.

It's just
that I heard

This really dumb, stupid,
dumb, dirty joke today.

I love a good dirty joke.

Yeah, let's hear it.

No, it's too disgusting
for the dinner table.

I'll tell
you later.

So doug, cynthia tells me you're
interested in renting a house.

You know if you bought
the house you could deduct
the interest on your taxes.

No kidding?

Yeah, steve is the best finacial
advisor in town.

He could figure out a way
that you could own that
house for feee.

Well, not quite free.

But if I take a look at your
finacial statement

I bet I can find some nice
investments for you and increase
your net worth.

My net worth?

The net worth is how much money
you're worth in cash
and properties.

Fourty two bucks.

Excuse me.

My net worth. Bucks.
Got it my wallet. Well I paid
for wine, bucks.

Exactly what do you do
for the police department?

Undercover work
in high schools.

You pretend to be a student?

Yeah, I hang out
with the kids

And find out who's
committing the real big crimes.

Boy, it must be weird

Hanging out with high school
kids all day long.

It's weird hanging out
with high school kids

But this summer I'm switching
to intelligence work.

Hmm.

Dodo, I'm sorry.

That's okay.

It's just that they're real old.

They're only two years older
than we are.

That's all?

They live like adults.

We live like the three stooges.

We live just fine.

I want to grow up.

I need more than sitting
around with your friends

Eating pizza
and having belching contests.

Hey.

I was checking the place out

And stumbled
onto your penthouse here.

How long have you
been living here?

You could take the whole
place down from here, huh?

Get out of here.

Take it easy.

I do what I want.

I said get out.

You're crazy.

I'm not crazy.

Then why are you living
in a boiler room?

I got no place
else to live.

My mother ran off
with some drunk

And I've got
no other relatives.

The only place
they can stick me

Is in a lock-up.

Why did you come down here?

Just messing around.

Are you the bomber?

No, I thought you were.

Are you kidding?

Every time that creep
blows off an m-

I've got to go a day
and a half without water.

Listen, man

Don't tell anybody
about me, okay?

Thanks.

Captain.

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

But you got
to do something.

It ain't right
for a guy to march in

And boot a guy with a wife

And four kids
into the street.

Calm down, sal.

I told you, I'll look into it.

This building needs me.

I'm the only one
who knows how to fix it.

I don't even think
this guy's an american.

I know, sal, I know.

You just hang in there.

I am working on it.

Thanks, captain.

Hey, man,
I'm...

Pardon me, sal.

Next.

Captain,
is it all right

If I ask your advice
on something?

That's what I'm here for.

Do you think because, you know

I spend all my time undercover
with high school kids

That makes me act immature?

What brought this on?

I just think I spend
a lot of time in high schools.

Don't get me wrong.

I love this work
and if we come back--

I mean, when we come back--

I'll be the first one there

But I'm wondering
about the summer job.

You think I'd be any good
at intelligence?

I would be very proud
to write you a recommendation.

Okay.

Thanks, captain.

Hey, it's just
for the summer, right?

Blowfish:
get the hell out
of my fuse box!

Where did you
get those shorts?

I stole them out
of an open locker.

You look
ridiculous.

Yeah? You should
have seen the guy

I stole them from.

Doesn't this place
give you the creeps

When nobody's
here?

It used to.

The isolation used
to really get to me.

There were nights

When I'd be curled up,
afraid to move

And wake up the next morning
in the same position.

How did you get used to it?

Time, I guess.

You learn how to use
the isolation, the solitude.

I spend more time
in the library.

You know, in three weeks' time

I'll graduate with straight a's.

Last year
I was lucky to even pass.

I don't think I'm going to pass.

I can't stand school.

I'm going to college
no matter what it takes.

There's no way
I'll end up

Working in a doughnut
factory like my mother.

Drinking myself to death

Coming home
to some drunk who's even

More stupid
than I am.

There's no way, man.

I'm not going to live like that.

Yeah.

I'm going to grab
a pizza after school.

Want to go?

It's on me.

No, thanks, I got to study
for finals.

Okay.

Hey, tom.

Thanks for not telling anybody
about me, okay?

Sure.

Judy.

I have got some great news
for you.

You got the job.

Oh, great.

They'll run your picture
in the department bulletin

And we've talked
to live at five.

I think
we can get you on

To plug the program
later this month.

I can't believe it.

I'm taking a big chance on you,
officer hoffs.

Everyone
in this department

Covets that job.

There's going
to be a lot of resentment.

I want you to handle

Your fellow officers
with dignity.

I will, sir.

Okay, now be sure

To address the mayor's wife
as mrs. Gentry

And be tasteful
with the make-up.

Okay?
This is a very

Wholesome campaign.

Children, I'd like you
to give a warm welcome

To a special visitor
from the police department

Who has come to talk
to you about safety.

Please give a big hello

To officer
milk carton.

Children:
hi, officer milk carton!

( Children cheering )

Gentlemen,
if you'll open to page three

We'll look into the ' and '
budget reports

And arrest efficiency
determinations.

Captain, excuse me.

Your presentation
is impeccable

But you're wasting your time.

Please let the captain finish.

Deputy chief glanzman,
at the station house

You run
the show.

On my turf, you defer to me.

How can you talk like that?

I'll talk...
Fuller:
gentlemen, please.

Phil, I can handle
this myself.

I am here to address
your concerns.

You're here to save your job.

My job is not in jeopardy.

No, but your program is.

And the bottom
line is, captain

We're throwing away money
on a program

That compromises
our children's rights

Through intimidation
and entrapment.

What the hell
do you think we do--

Arrest kids
for sticking gum
under their desks?

In the past months,
we've busted dope dealers

g*n runners, prostitution rings,
child p*rn.

You want those
kinds of people

Around
your children?

No.

Then, councilman,
if you please

I would like
to continue my report.

This program
is humiliating.

I feel ridiculous
dressed as a carton of milk.

I want out of this.

Fine, you tell
the mayor's wife

You're above
participating

In her
pet project.

Ioki:
jude, how's life at the top?

How do you
like p.r.?

Oh, it's great.

It's a terrific assignment.

Can I have a slice?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, captain,
come help us
graze it up.

I mean, care for
a slice of pizza?

Don't mind if I do.

How did it go
at city hall?

Well, we made
a good case.

And?

And those reports
you did for us

Made a big impression
on everybody.

Penhall:
but?

But city councilman davis
made it pretty clear

That he's campaigning
to close us down.

What did we do--
bust his kid?

How else
can we help?

We did our best.

If you are going
to be career cops

Get used
to disappointments.

I've seen good programs wash out

And I've said good-bye
to a lot of good friends.

Hoffs:
remember that one summer
in high school

Where everybody
changed?

In the fall,
all your friends were different.

I hated that.

I remember one year,
the toughest guy in school--

Billy larocca--
went to california.

He came back
with green hair

And a surfboard.

Change isn't so bad.

It's part of growing up.

Thank you,
mr. Maturity.

( Penhall belches )

Damn, got to
stop doing that.

Well, I've had enough changes
in my life.

Every time I start
to feel secure

Some outside forces step in
and ruin everything.

That's the way of the world,
harry.

Nothing's forever.

I think this pizza's

Staying
with me,
though.

I don't see what
everybody's misty about.

We could be stepping
into the best

Assignments we ever had.

( Beeping )

Your printout's ready.

The bomber?

Ran the names

Of all the seniors
through the computer.

Anybody got a record?

Only one kid.

Penhall:
good school.

Maybe I'll buy in that district.

Who is it?

James robert touchek.

Wanted for car theft

And escape from juvenile
facility in madison, wisconsin.

You know the guy?

Yeah, I was
at his place
last night.

Wake up.

I want to talk
to you.

What are you doing?

You lied to me.

What are you
talking about?

Where did you get that?

Where do you think?

You're a cop?

I don't get it.

Why didn't you
bust me yesterday?

Because I wasn't looking
for you.

I'm looking for somebody
who's blowing up toilets.

Get your stuff
together.

No.

I'm not leaving here
without my diploma.

You were busted
for stealing a car.

Don't give me
that mom garbage.

She ran out on me.

Instead of taking me home,
she let them lock me up.

Get your
stuff together.

No, I'm not going anywhere.

What are you
doing this for?

Because it's my job.

I've been living like
a sewer rat for months

Because I want to do
something with my life.

I want an education.

I'm not a danger
to society.

You don't have
to protect them from me.

You can't
send me back there.

I can't stand it.

Just let me graduate.

Please.

Buy me a cup
of coffee?

Oh, phil.

Thanks for your
support yesterday.

It was a big help.

You didn't need any,
adam.

Those councilmen were
very impressed with you.

Impressed enough
to save the program?

Programs come and go

But there's more than
a buzz going around

About possibly giving you
your own area to command.

Before that buzz
gets too loud

Let me clarify that
my first concern
is jump street.

With this big promotion

You could run everything
south of the freeway.

I only want
to run jump street.

Just want you to know
strings could be pulled.

Think about it?

Yeah.

There is something.

My maintenance man's
being featherbedded
out of his job.

Can you do something
to give him some seniority?

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Hi.

Hi.

Thanks
for meeting me here.

What's going on?

Come on in.

I've got
some lunch for us.

Pizza?

Pasta salad...

And a little wine.

Ta-da.

Doug, are you
all right?

Oh, yeah,
I'm just great.

Want a little wine?

Sure.

There you go.

All right.

A little for me.

What are we
doing here?

Well...

It's where we live.

I told cynthia

We'd take the place.

Doug, are you sure?

Yep.

I'm really surprised.

Here's another
surprise for you.

My application
to work in intelligence--

They approved it.

Doug, I'm really proud of you.

But what brought this on?

Well, I figured it was
time for me to grow up.

If he's a fugitive
you've got to bring him in.

It's not that simple.

He screwed up and stole a car

But he wants
to get straight.

He'll just be back into juvenile
because he's got no home.

He is still a fugitive.

I know that.

Then bring him in.

He's got a few days
left in school.

Let me stall until then.

Uh-uh.

He's living in the basement
of a school

Just so he
can graduate.

Will the state do better
at rehabilitating him?

Did you contact
his correctional officer?

Yeah.

What did you
tell him?

I told him that we might
have a lead on the kid.

Very good.

Sneaky, but very good.

All right, call him back

But not until very late
in the afternoon.

You might
miss him.

Then when he calls you back
tomorrow, don't take the call.

Then call him again
very late in the day.

Hope you miss him.

If you get him
by mistake.

Hang up.

You've done this before.

I've got an ex-wife, hanson.

Thanks, coach.

Oh, and hanson...

Yeah.

Find the bomber.

Yeah.

Doug.

Yeah.

Thanks.

For what?

For such
a great lunch.

I didn't cook it.

Yeah, but you did
a fine job of serving it.

Uh, dor...

You excuse me a second?

Sure.

Hey, buddy,
hold on a second.

Let me show you something
about your swing.

I had this problem
when I was a kid.

Throw me
that glove, there.

Your problem is
lifting up your heel.

Keep your foot steady.

Don't move the foot,
the glove don't move.

Throw one in here.

Okay, see?
