0:00:11 > 0:00:16This film contains some strong language.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21CHEERING
0:00:27 > 0:00:32'It was a good dream - my best one.'
0:00:32 > 0:00:36'Everything was perfect.'
0:00:48 > 0:00:52'My mother was proud of her son's wings.'
0:00:56 > 0:01:00'My half-sister, Meg, lost her braces.'
0:01:04 > 0:01:11'My other half-sister, Gloria, had realised my intellectual superiority'
0:01:11 > 0:01:12SHE GROWLS
0:01:12 > 0:01:14..And was quietly respectful to me.'
0:01:29 > 0:01:31BOOING
0:01:31 > 0:01:37'My step-fathers were slaves, captured in battle.'
0:01:45 > 0:01:49'And, there was a Wac by my side.'
0:01:49 > 0:01:54'Not too bright, not too loud. Hugely attractive.'
0:01:54 > 0:01:56'It's a good dream.'
0:01:56 > 0:02:00'A John Wayne meets Hugh Hefner philosophy...
0:02:00 > 0:02:06..if you consider Hef a philosopher, or John Wayne.'
0:02:07 > 0:02:14'But whatever the dream, there's always a face that I can't see...
0:02:14 > 0:02:22..that I keep missing, out there beyond the edge of the crowd.'
0:02:22 > 0:02:25BAND STOPS PLAYING AND WIND HOWLS
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- RADIO: - "This is WJB Boston."
0:02:48 > 0:02:53"It's 70 degrees on the first day of summer, 1968...
0:02:53 > 0:02:57..a good day to be born a woman..."
0:02:55 > 0:02:57"# If you are born a woman..."
0:02:57 > 0:03:03Turn it up, I love this song!
0:02:58 > 0:03:03It's too loud already.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Turn it up!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Turn it down, Meg.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I like this song, Gloria.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07White-trash music.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07It's good!
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Mother, will you reason with her?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13MUSIC STOPS
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Mother, I was listening to that!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Don't whine. It's so unattractive.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20It was wearing down the battery.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24No, it wasn't. Batteries can run for hours like that.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Thank you, Charles.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29What an engineer(!) I thought airplanes were your forte.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Was I talking to you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33This is our pilot, Charles Norstadt.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38< Yeah, was he talking to you? Come on, Gloria, spare us.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40'It was a good dream.'
0:03:41 > 0:03:43THEY ALL ARGUE
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Did you see that? They ate right out of my hand!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Chuck? Wake up!
0:04:02 > 0:04:03What?
0:04:03 > 0:04:09You're doing that thing again.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09What thing?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You get that look on your face.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Where do you go when you do that? He came this close to my eyes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Hi.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Are you married?
0:04:33 > 0:04:39He's really shy.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39You're nuts.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I'm just trying to help Mother.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39She doesn't need help.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Marriage is her hobby, like bridge or dog-breeding.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48I wanna be sure the next guy's nice. More like my dad than Gloria's.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Or mine.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I didn't say that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58Doesn't matter. I won't be here much longer.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58How? You flunked.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I can take the exam again.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07What's so funny?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07I didn't say anything. Anyway, she'll never let you go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Look.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Mother, I'm trying to read.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Oh, come on!
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Oh!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Isn't it clever?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27What is this?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Mom?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Mother?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33What is it, Charles?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I wanna retake the exam.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38You've had your chance, Charles.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I can retake it at the end of August.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I don't want you at boarding school.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It's my dad's school.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48That'll convince her(!)
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Shut up!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I don't want you at a military academy.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53They're fascist and unnatural.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well, there's no risk letting him take the exam.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Can you see him cramming Latin and geometry at the cottage?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Look, I'm already studying! Mother?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04All right, Charles.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08If you wanna give up your whole vacation, you can try again.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09No, not the whole summer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13You know it takes you longer than other children.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14GLORIA LAUGHS
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's nothing to be ashamed of.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26You're stupid, you're stupid, you're stupid!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Now you're slow!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You know you're Goober Pyle!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35TYRE HISSES
0:07:02 > 0:07:04DIL!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Down, boy! Lie down!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'm, er...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I'm so...sorry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20This tyre's been vandalised.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22What?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yeah. Look.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Half a dozen deliberate punctures.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31Oh, my God! Who would do something like that? That's crazy!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Oh! My God! Come here!
0:07:33 > 0:07:34What?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Isn't that Hamburger-Head? You know, McLeod?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I thought he never left his dungeon.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Don't stare. We're not at a circus.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57'"Will I actually commit the crime? That is for the coin to decide."'
0:07:57 > 0:08:02< "Which face will it show? The whole, or the ruined?"
0:08:02 > 0:08:08"The coin has decided. And so, Two-Face must strike...
0:08:08 > 0:08:12"as the bells of Gotham City ring out into the murky night."
0:08:12 > 0:08:18Charles! Lunch! >
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Oh, no! Here she comes. Better get you out of here, Mac.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Shut up.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Charles, what are you doing?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I'm studying.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You're not gonna get lunch in bed. Come on!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30SHE SNEEZES
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Charles!
0:08:43 > 0:08:44What?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I told you I don't want that rabid beast in the house.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I keep Mac outside.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I am in earnest, young man.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56That cat is so disgusting.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59< That's enough, Gloria.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Where are you going? - I'm going to study.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07If you need any help...
0:09:16 > 0:09:22Hey, Chad! What's that kid's...? Chuck! Have you seen Gloria?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Er, yeah. She went off with some guy in a Mustang.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30What guy?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30I don't know. >
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Who's the guy?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I dunno. Just...some guy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37When?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Just now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45< Chuck! Wait up!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Jeez!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Chuck, I said wait up!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52What are you, my shadow?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Don't compensate by using me as an emotional punching bag.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59You're too young to talk like that.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Gloria's right. You'll never pass it on your own.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Shut up!- Why don't you let me tutor you?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- You're ten years old! - So? You know I'm smart enough.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14You're a genius. A fender-face genius!
0:10:14 > 0:10:20And you're a jerk! I hope you fail and have to live with us forever!
0:10:20 > 0:10:25What are you gonna do, ask Gloria for help?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Don't be such a boy!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Hey, Norstadt!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You're still a virgin!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Catching up on a little reading?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51School's over, you know, wing-nut.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Thanks for the newsflash, brillo-head.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Shut up!
0:10:55 > 0:10:59What's goin' on, guys?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Pearson's got his old man's boat.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Where are you gonna swim? - Freak beach. You want in?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- You up to it? - Let's go.- Sure.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- What are you waitin' for?- Come on.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Can I come?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13No flat chicks allowed!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Shut up, you sexist pig!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Whoa, bra-burner! - Trainer bra-burner!
0:11:18 > 0:11:23The only bra you'll ever see is your momma's!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30What a stupid world.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34We could divide all chickdom into Ginger and Mary-Anne...
0:11:34 > 0:11:39but why not let visitors onto this island paradise?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Guest stars. Top of the list, Agent 99.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Agent 99 sucks.- Bewitched would be good.- Bewitched is married.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- So?- He'd probably do it with Mrs Howell.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53THEY LAUGH
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- You guys ever seen the Freak? - McLeod? He won't let you see him.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- I saw him. - Oh, screw you!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I saw him on the ferry!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Why would Hamburger-Head go on the boat?
0:12:05 > 0:12:11He travelled below. The Hound from Hell was with him.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13His wolf?
0:12:13 > 0:12:14The Freak was this close to me.
0:12:14 > 0:12:21Why would the Freak go to Boston?
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Mafia meeting, probably.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Porno. He writes porno books.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Get outta here!
0:12:22 > 0:12:26He gets parcels from porn publishers.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28How's a freak gonna write porno?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29What would he write about?
0:12:29 > 0:12:33I don't know. Maybe his dog!
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Wait. Did you hear that?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42What?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Listen... What was that?
0:12:44 > 0:12:49(I'm scared.)
0:12:45 > 0:12:49(Shut up, don't let him see you.)
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Ow, my finger!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49(Shut up, man!)
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Wait up, guys!- Come on!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Start the motor! Come on!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Boy, was that close! Jeez! Was that a wolf?
0:13:17 > 0:13:24Did you see the Freak up there, man?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24He was scared of the wolf. He was pissin' in his pants!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27We gotta go back!
0:13:27 > 0:13:31I left my books there! Come on! I left my books!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34We gotta go back!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Tell the school the dog ate 'em. >
0:13:35 > 0:13:41What subject was it, Latin? Screw-us you-us! >
0:13:41 > 0:13:43< See ya later, pizza-head!
0:14:29 > 0:14:34If he's a cannibal, I'll just tell him I have bone cancer.
0:14:57 > 0:15:04'I don't know what to do when he gets that stupid look on his face.'
0:15:04 > 0:15:07'What do you see in the ink blot, Charles?'
0:15:07 > 0:15:11'What do you think I mean by "passive aggressive"?'
0:15:11 > 0:15:13'He's his father's son all right.'
0:15:13 > 0:15:18'Eric was my third husband and my one real mistake.'
0:15:18 > 0:15:21'That's very funny, Charles. What do you really see?'
0:15:23 > 0:15:27'You don't care about anybody but yourself.'
0:15:27 > 0:15:30'What do you see in the ink blot, Charles?'
0:15:30 > 0:15:33John Wayne.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39< What are you doing here?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48What's wrong with you? You got any idea how long you been here?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36SPRING TWANGS
0:16:36 > 0:16:38HE GASPS
0:16:38 > 0:16:40CLOCK CHIMES
0:16:48 > 0:16:51S...sorry.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53It just went off. It's a funny clock.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Funny "ha-ha", funny strange?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Not sure.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Says you taught at, erm, Barrett Academy.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Is that a good school?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13What do you teach?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- What's your name? - Erm, Chuck. Chuck Norstadt.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Well, Chuck Chuck Norstadt, where do you live?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Just the other side of the harbour.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Then you'd better drink this and go.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Oh, great. Thanks.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Come on, Mickey. Heel.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Mickey really doesn't seem the right name for your dog.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's like naming Godzilla "Bambi".
0:17:50 > 0:17:55You name him after Mickey Metal or Mickey Mouse?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57How's your mother's front tyre?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Fine.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06It's a bright night. You should be able to find your way home.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10You found your way here, didn't you?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Mm-hm.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's my bike.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Hey, you still do any teaching?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Reason I ask is...
0:18:29 > 0:18:35This may sound crazy, but I could really use some help on an exam.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Why does that sound crazy? - I don't know,
0:18:38 > 0:18:43I just never thought of you as a teacher.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Nobody does. Not that I know anything about you or anything.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52It won't take long. It's just to get into this second-rate boarding school
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Misunderstood, are we?
0:18:55 > 0:19:03I'm just sick of living with three females, all brilliant, and being the family retard.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08I see. Nothing at all to do with pre-pubescent angst, then?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12It was the school my father went to.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18He was in Korea, then he died in a jet crash.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Some kind of experimental spy plane.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- If it's a matter of money, I can pay you.- No, I don't think you can.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Nice to have met you, Mr McLeod.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Bucket-head.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41There's Great Grandfather MacNeil. He built the cottage.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Far out.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Oh, look at those Presbyterian eyes.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Ooh, terrifying!
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I can't believe you're interested in all this ancient history.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I am, it's all research.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59All for my book on the Robber Baringer mine shaft.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03That is such an important topic.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It looks like Mark Hughes is writing the foreword.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Mark Hughes?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Charles? Come here, dear.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Hi, man.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20I want you to meet Professor Hartley of Yale. This is my son, Charles.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Just call me Carl.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27I don't need any of that imperialistic authoritarian crap.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Hi... Carl.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36THINKS: She hasn't caught a fish, she's vacuumed up a hairball!
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Hi, Chuck.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Go put some dry clothes on.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Yes, I would, you flea-infested sack of worms...
0:22:46 > 0:22:47TAPS SPANNER
0:22:49 > 0:22:51How you doin'?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Beautiful day, isn't it?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Um...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'm here.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I know you're pressed for time and everything...
0:23:18 > 0:23:21but I was wondering,
0:23:21 > 0:23:27maybe you'd be interested in some Latin exercises...
0:23:27 > 0:23:30just to look over 'em.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I realise you're busy, Mr McLeod...
0:23:40 > 0:23:44but how much work is a couple of Latin passages?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Maybe a little geometry?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'd like a hole.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03I don't understand.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Three feet, cubed. Right here.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Stay.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Listen, I said I could pay you, didn't I?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Three feet cubed.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Hello!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32CLOCK CHIMES
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Mr McLeod?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40You can sit here.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Now, I'd like you to write an essay.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Any topic you'd like.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Why? It's not on the exam.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Why did you come here?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Quickly! Don't think, just answer.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06For some help. You know.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09No. Do you want help or not?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I guess so, if you're a teacher.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I guess so...sir.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I guess so, sir.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Good.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24This is the way it works - adisca alt disceda. Learn or leave.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28It's of no consequence to me one way or the other. Understood?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Yeah.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Except the bit about digging shithouse holes and writing bullshit.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I haven't got a lot of pity.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42You can go now.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Pity yourself, freak! Stupid freak!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00# Moon river...
0:26:02 > 0:26:04LIVELY CHATTER
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Want one?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15No, thanks.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21According to my sources, he was a mad professor like Carl. "Dr McLeod"
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Must be a Harvard man.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26< No doubt.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Martini?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Thank you.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31< It was a classic murder-suicide.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Butchered his wife, but botched the job on himself.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37< Ask Gus the barber.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42That's not what Gus told me.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42When you were getting your hair cut?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46He said he didn't kill his wife, but his boyfriend.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Carl!
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I wanna know what he thinks plastic surgery is for.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Unless he doesn't have the money.
0:26:54 > 0:27:02Someone told me, and I do not believe this, that he was one of the Kennedys
0:27:02 > 0:27:05The Kennedys? Well, he certainly resembles one.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- SHE LAUGHS - No, I didn't mean that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I can't believe you said that.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Becky, how many years has McLeod been here?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Six - no, seven.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Every summer we talk about him. >
0:27:20 > 0:27:25So?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25One day I'll knock on his door and end all this.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Oh, Todd, where's the fun in that?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Hey, how's the scholar doin'?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Gonna make it to West Point yet, are we?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Don't remind me.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38You know how I hate the idea
0:27:38 > 0:27:41of him becoming one of those brush-cut fly boys.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Come on, Catherine, you like to fly.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50I like to have the garbage picked up but I don't want him doing that!
0:27:50 > 0:27:55This air force bit is something Chuck's just into for the moment.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Once he understands what the Pentagon is doing in Vietnam...
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Are we having this argument again?
0:28:01 > 0:28:06No, because I'm talking to Kitty. Besides, I'm too drunk.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10I'm just glad he's way too young for the draft.
0:28:10 > 0:28:17Y'know, there's nothing I'd rather do than drop napalm for a living.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I... Are you gonna let that...?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Television.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Mine's vodka. What's your excuse?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51You gonna marry the hair... Er...
0:28:51 > 0:28:56Carl? I don't know, Charles. Do you think I should?
0:29:00 > 0:29:05Your mother's not much use to you these days, is she?
0:29:05 > 0:29:09I'm sorry. I'm just not cut out for this mothering racket.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15I never expected to have three children, let alone by three husbands.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Can I ask you something?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Sure.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21You promise not to get mad?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Charles.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Why does Gloria hate me?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Oh, Charles, she doesn't...
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Because you were born, baby.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38But that wasn't my fault.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42No, but she didn't know that. She was four years old.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47All she knew was she had a rival for your father's affection.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52She hated my father. She's always telling me what a jerk he was.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54The way you do.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59Oh, Charles, I never meant that.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I just didn't know how to...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- GLORIA YAWNS - Morning, all.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11(Hey, we didn't always feel that way about him.)
0:30:11 > 0:30:14About who? Who are we talking about?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Charles' father.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Oh, yes?
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Whoa.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Is this what you wanted?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04"Why the system must be changed now!"
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Exclamation point. "By Charles E Norstadt."
0:31:08 > 0:31:13I had no idea you pondered such weighty issues, Charles E.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18I did what you asked. Are you gonna keep up your end?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20All right.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25I'd like a hole. Three feet across, three feet deep.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31And how about a triangle? Two by two by three. Three feet deep.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Just near the paddock, left of the entrance.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36If you need a hole, hire a contractor.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37I don't need a hole.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I'm interested in your title.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51I was wondering how you came to choose it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:57Erm, it's about how... how people have to change things.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00What kind of things? Sit down.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02What kind of things?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05The Government, you know.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09What would you change about the Government?
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Me? Erm, lots of things.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Such as?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Such as...
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Such as how the word is spelt, for example.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22What?
0:32:22 > 0:32:29Judging by your essay, it seems you hope to change the spelling of "government", "democracy"...
0:32:29 > 0:32:32and "Richard Miltown Nixon".
0:32:32 > 0:32:34So, I'm not too good at spellings.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39I see that, but if you're going to plagiarise, you might at least show the courtesy of...
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- What are you talking about? - Don't! Who wrote this? Who?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Bill Garfield.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Never heard of him.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50He's at Colombia.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Oh, so you're a high-class cheat.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I'm not a cheat...
0:32:55 > 0:32:56You are!
0:32:56 > 0:33:04I hate writing. It sucks!
0:32:58 > 0:33:04< Adisca alt disceda.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04It's a waste of time! It's like digging those shitty holes!
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I'll write you a stinkin' essay!
0:33:56 > 0:34:02"Why Spiderman sucks worse than the Silver Surfer!" Very good.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Are you happy now? Can I go?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07You invited yourself.
0:34:09 > 0:34:15Tonight, I want you to look up ten alternatives for the slang "to suck"
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Shit!
0:34:17 > 0:34:22And find me the Latin equivalent of your other favourite descriptive.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Mickey!
0:34:33 > 0:34:34I gotta go.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40< # If you're born a woman
0:34:40 > 0:34:45< # You're born to be hurt
0:34:45 > 0:34:49# You're born to be stepped on
0:34:49 > 0:34:54# Lied to, cheated on and treated like dirt. #
0:35:03 > 0:35:06I followed you this morning.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13You tell, and you're dead.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15I'm not gonna tell anybody.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18I'm not gonna tell anybody IF...
0:35:18 > 0:35:20What? If what?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24You tell me all about him. What were you doing there?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27You swear. Swear by Thor.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- I did what you said. I got a tutor. - The Freak's a teacher? Come on!
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- I think he is. - What does he teach?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41He makes me dig holes.
0:35:41 > 0:35:47You liar! I'm gonna tell Mom, and she'll never let you near him again!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Keep your mouth shut!
0:35:50 > 0:35:52OK! Get off, you maniac!
0:35:52 > 0:35:56What's he like? Do you like him? Does he like you?
0:35:56 > 0:36:00He hates everybody. I mean, look at him.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Sometimes I think I'm gonna be sick, just watching him.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Let me come with you. Please!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08< Come on, Chuck.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Lunatic!
0:36:24 > 0:36:26< Hello?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Mr McLeod?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Sir?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Hey, Pukehead! You home?!
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Guess not.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Porno.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22DOOR OPENS
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Take it easy. OK.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29MICKEY WHIMPERS
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Lie down.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36I'll be right back, fella. OK?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Hey, when did you get back?
0:39:38 > 0:39:42I went for a walk when I finished my homework.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Jeez, what happened to him?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47He encountered a porcupine.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48Excrementum!
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Stiltus puer.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54What? What does that mean?
0:39:54 > 0:39:59"The foolish boy"... digs a three-foot hole.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04If we assume that he has dug his cube properly...
0:40:04 > 0:40:07what will be the volume if he fills up half of it? >
0:40:13 > 0:40:18Now, stiltus puer wants to erect a pole at the centre of his circle.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21But how does he find that centre?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Think, Norstadt, reason.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26No? Write this down.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Draw a circle. A,B,C.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Draw within it any straight line, AB.
0:40:35 > 0:40:42Bisect AB at D and draw a straight line, DC, at right angles to AB.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44With me, Norstadt?
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Yes, sir.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49OK. Any other straight line - AC.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Bisect AC, and you get the centre of your circle.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Good.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09Euclid's Proposition 47. This is the famous one.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13In any right-angled triangle...
0:41:16 > 0:41:24Have a good look. Get it over with. Then we'll continue. Enough?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Good.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29In any right-angled triangle,
0:41:29 > 0:41:36the square on the side subtending the right angle, is equal to... what?
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Equal to the sum of the squares on each of the two sides, sir.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Thank you. >
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Take away the moustache, lighten the hair...
0:41:47 > 0:41:48McLeod?
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Shouldn't it mention that the man has no face?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55You don't know what they keep back.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00Give it a rest. Last week you thought it was Fidel Castro.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01I said take away the beard.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03How's that, Wayne?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Oh! Very nice, Gus.
0:42:06 > 0:42:12All right, Wayne, but nobody lives like that unless they've got history.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Who's business is that?
0:42:14 > 0:42:19This man has not bothered a soul since he's been here.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Any reason why you think he would?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Some other haircut.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36"Strange fits of passion have I known
0:42:36 > 0:42:40"and I will dare to tell but in the lover's ear alone"
0:42:40 > 0:42:42GETTING FASTER: "What once to me befell,
0:42:42 > 0:42:47"when she I loved looked every day fresh as a rose in June..."
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Don't bludgeon it completely.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52I hate poetry!
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It's all love this, love that.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58It's boring, snoring, smothering.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04You don't like poetry or you don't like the word "love"?
0:43:06 > 0:43:13Not every poem's a love sonnet. There's the "Ode to my Goldfish".
0:43:13 > 0:43:16"Oh, wet pet".
0:43:16 > 0:43:18That's it?
0:43:17 > 0:43:18That's it.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22What kind of a plane did you say your father flew?
0:43:22 > 0:43:23U2.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29157. Take it home and read it.
0:43:29 > 0:43:35Take it. It's all of 20 lines. I'm sure you can manage that.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Hey!
0:43:55 > 0:44:00Oh, Chuck. You know my kid brother, don't you?
0:44:00 > 0:44:01I guessed, yes.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Were you on "The Flintstones"?
0:44:03 > 0:44:09What?
0:44:04 > 0:44:09You know - Fred, Dino. You know - yabadabadoo?
0:44:09 > 0:44:12That's funny. Good. Funny kid.
0:44:14 > 0:44:18Let's eat.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18You sit down. I'll find something.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21What have we got here?
0:44:26 > 0:44:28What have you got in your sandwich?
0:44:28 > 0:44:30You wanna give him my sandwich?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Calm down.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34What's this, poetry?
0:44:35 > 0:44:40You stupid brat! You did that on purpose!
0:44:40 > 0:44:41Take it easy!
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Shut up, Douglas! Come down, Slime!
0:44:44 > 0:44:48What are you hiding? Idiot Charles doesn't read poetry!
0:44:48 > 0:44:50It's just a little spilled milk.
0:44:52 > 0:44:58'Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
0:44:58 > 0:45:02'And danced the skies on laughter's silvered wings.
0:45:02 > 0:45:08'Sunward I've climbed, joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds
0:45:08 > 0:45:14'And done a hundred things you have not dreamed of.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16'Wheeled and soared and swung,
0:45:16 > 0:45:20'and while with silent lifting mind I have trod
0:45:20 > 0:45:24'the high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
0:45:24 > 0:45:28'put out my hand, and touched the face of God.'
0:45:32 > 0:45:34KNOCK AT DOOR
0:45:34 > 0:45:36BARKING
0:45:43 > 0:45:45That's promptness.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49I didn't need that back today.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53No, it was good. I just thought I should return it.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Why?
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Remember I told you about Gloria?
0:45:57 > 0:46:00- Your sister?- My half-sister.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03What's evil half-sister done now?
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Speak up. I've got an egg boiling.
0:46:05 > 0:46:11She saw the book. She'll snoop around till she finds out what I'm doing.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13I don't follow.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18You haven't told your mother that you're coming here, have you?
0:46:18 > 0:46:20That's it, isn't it?
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Why the blazes not?
0:46:23 > 0:46:24If I did, she wouldn't let me come.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26Then you can't come.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29No! I've got to, just for a little longer!
0:46:29 > 0:46:31If she's letting you take the exam,
0:46:31 > 0:46:35she's not totally opposed to the idea of a boarding school, is she?
0:46:37 > 0:46:40She won't let me come because it's you.
0:46:41 > 0:46:46That's why. They don't know you. People are afraid of what they don't know.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50Thank you, Herr Doctor, I must be sure to write that down.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54I just meant...
0:46:51 > 0:46:54What are you playing at?
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Nothing. Nobody has to know!
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Do you want this exam?
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Good.
0:47:02 > 0:47:06Then take some responsibility for what you want.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Talk to her, Norstadt, convince her.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12Convince me.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21DOOR CLOSES
0:47:28 > 0:47:31'Mother, I could not believe it.'
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Attacked in my own home.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36Oh, Gloria.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36I'm not exaggerating.
0:47:36 > 0:47:42Why do you baby him? That's what the psychiatrist said.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42You know what his father...
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Mother, I was there.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47< Then you should be more patient.
0:47:47 > 0:47:52He's not the only one with bad dreams.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52It's not the same.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Charles, what are you doing?
0:47:58 > 0:47:59I've just got home.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Is there something you wanted?
0:48:04 > 0:48:06No.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Did he hear us?
0:48:13 > 0:48:15I dunno.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20< Hey, Mickey. Good morning.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27What's all this?
0:48:27 > 0:48:32My mother said I had to pay my way if I was going to keep coming here.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37It's no trouble. I can do it every morning if you like.
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Oh, erm...
0:48:42 > 0:48:46What's this?
0:48:43 > 0:48:46It's her phone number. She said to call if I was any trouble.
0:48:46 > 0:48:51I don't have a telephone.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51I'm no trouble. You could write her.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56Scratch my back, I'll scratch the horse's.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03Here, you're going the wrong way.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07Go downward, long strokes.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Like this?
0:49:11 > 0:49:15"Believe me, you are marvellously changed."
0:49:15 > 0:49:22"I hold the world but as the world, Grat...iano, a stage."
0:49:22 > 0:49:28It's not a cereal box you're reading
0:49:24 > 0:49:28Why can't I read it silently?
0:49:26 > 0:49:28Because it's a play, Norstadt.
0:49:28 > 0:49:32You perform it. "I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36"A stage, where every man must play a part,
0:49:37 > 0:49:40"and mine a sad one."
0:49:40 > 0:49:42And what's his reason?
0:49:42 > 0:49:44"I am a Jew."
0:49:47 > 0:49:49"Hath not a Jew eyes?"
0:49:51 > 0:49:53"Hath not a Jew hands,
0:49:53 > 0:49:58"organs, dimensions,
0:49:58 > 0:50:02"senses, affections, passions?"
0:50:03 > 0:50:09"Fed with the same food? Hurt with the same weapons?
0:50:09 > 0:50:14"Subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means?
0:50:14 > 0:50:18"Warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?"
0:50:18 > 0:50:22"If you prick us, do we not bleed?
0:50:22 > 0:50:26"If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
0:50:26 > 0:50:30"If you poison us, do we not die?
0:50:30 > 0:50:33"And if you wrong us...
0:50:34 > 0:50:36"..shall we not revenge?"
0:50:39 > 0:50:45"By my soul, I swear there is no power in the tongue of man to alter me. I stay upon my bond."
0:50:45 > 0:50:50"Most heartily I do beseech the court to give their judgement."
0:50:51 > 0:50:58"Why, then, thus it is. You must prepare your bosom for his knife."
0:50:56 > 0:50:58"No!"
0:50:58 > 0:51:00"Yes!"
0:51:00 > 0:51:04"Aye, his breast. So says the bond, doth it not, noble judge?"
0:51:04 > 0:51:08"'Nearest his heart' - those are the very words."
0:51:11 > 0:51:15Is it my line?
0:51:12 > 0:51:15No, it's mine, but it's late.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18We'll finish this tomorrow.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18No, we started. Let's finish.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Tomorrow...
0:51:20 > 0:51:27..and tomorrow...and tomorrow, creeps Charles E.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Hello?
0:51:34 > 0:51:35< Supper's in the oven.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38I'm not hungry.
0:51:39 > 0:51:44Do you know Shakespeare?
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Know him?! I was his Ophelia at Radcliffe.
0:51:44 > 0:51:49How does The Merchant of Venice end?
0:51:46 > 0:51:49I don't know. Why?
0:51:49 > 0:51:54Does the guy get his heart cut out?
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Well, probably. Somebody dies.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57Somebody always dies at the end of Shakespeare.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00I thought you said you knew it.
0:52:00 > 0:52:04I studied those plays years ago. Why's it so important?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06It's not!
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Is he doing drugs?
0:52:12 > 0:52:15HE SINGS LOUDLY
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Hey, Norstadt! Forget the horse!
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Let's see if the guy gets his heart cut out!
0:52:29 > 0:52:31"Do you confess the bond?"
0:52:30 > 0:52:31"I do."
0:52:31 > 0:52:36"Then must the Jew be merciful."
0:52:34 > 0:52:36"On what compulsion must I? Tell me that."
0:52:36 > 0:52:40"The quality of mercy is not strained.
0:52:40 > 0:52:45"It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.
0:52:45 > 0:52:52"It is twice blessed. It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56"It is enthron-ed in the hearts of kings.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00"It is an attribute to God himself,
0:53:00 > 0:53:05"and earthly power doth then show likest God's
0:53:05 > 0:53:09"when mercy seasons justice."
0:53:22 > 0:53:26What did she say she wanted?
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Um, cookies and rice.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28They're over there.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37Which one... Which type? >
0:53:37 > 0:53:39How many types are there?
0:53:39 > 0:53:43THEY CHAT
0:53:57 > 0:54:03I need suntan lotion. Hi, Chuck.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03I'm sorry.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03Sorry? For what?
0:54:03 > 0:54:05Oh, nothing.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08THEY GIGGLE
0:54:13 > 0:54:17Sir?
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Yeah?
0:54:19 > 0:54:25Did you ever wonder...why men and women are attracted to each other?
0:54:28 > 0:54:33It's called sex, Norstadt, and it's not on your exam.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36I don't mean like that.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41I mean, why is it so difficult?
0:54:41 > 0:54:45Why can't they stay together, stay attracted?
0:54:47 > 0:54:53You know I never did consider myself a source of advice for the lovelorn.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57Why, weren't you married?
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Yes, I was.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01A long time ago.
0:55:01 > 0:55:07Still, that hardly qualifies me for any reasonable answer to that question.
0:55:15 > 0:55:19All right. Do you want the short answer or the long one?
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Short, I guess.
0:55:24 > 0:55:25Good.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28The problem is one of water.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31Water?
0:55:30 > 0:55:31Water.
0:55:31 > 0:55:36Women have about 5% more of it than men,
0:55:36 > 0:55:39making them subject to different forces of gravity.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42Don't take my word for it, you can look it up in Newton.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44It's there.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47Can they be drained?
0:55:48 > 0:55:50I'm serious!
0:55:52 > 0:55:56Well, I believe they're waiting for us to drink more fluids.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09What now?
0:56:12 > 0:56:14I was wondering if...
0:56:16 > 0:56:20..you really...write pornography?
0:56:27 > 0:56:31HE LAUGHS
0:56:35 > 0:56:38Is that the latest rumour?
0:56:38 > 0:56:41Come here. I'll show you what I do for a living.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Here.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Tutoring doesn't pay what it used to.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10Here's a few you might have seen.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17- You did these?- Yeah.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21Wow. Yeah, I've seen this one.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23Well, what do you know?
0:57:34 > 0:57:40Well, we don't get a lot of live specimens at the castle, do we?
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Come on, back to Caesar's Gaul.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55How did it happen?
0:57:55 > 0:57:58Was it in the war?
0:58:01 > 0:58:03I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.
0:58:03 > 0:58:09That's all right. Everyone does, sooner or later.
0:58:09 > 0:58:11It was in a car crash.
0:58:11 > 0:58:15- I'm sorry.- So am I.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18Not just for this, but...
0:58:18 > 0:58:22There was a boy killed in that car crash and he burned to death.
0:58:28 > 0:58:31Let's pick up the slack tomorrow, huh?
0:58:31 > 0:58:338.30, sharp.
0:58:41 > 0:58:45Double sixes! Big Julie is dead!
0:58:45 > 0:58:51He gets the hook, new King of the Mountain.
0:58:51 > 0:58:53I won! I won!
0:58:53 > 0:58:57Just don't forget, Norstadt, that on the exam Caesar wins, OK?
0:58:58 > 0:59:00Wiseacre.
0:59:01 > 0:59:04Do you want to be Romans or Gauls this time?
0:59:04 > 0:59:07Sir?
0:59:09 > 0:59:11It was a lousy thing to happen.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17- What? - Lots of people die in accidents.
0:59:17 > 0:59:19It wasn't your fault.
0:59:20 > 0:59:24Norstadt...
0:59:22 > 0:59:24No, look.
0:59:25 > 0:59:28Even if it was, it doesn't matter.
0:59:28 > 0:59:32It doesn't matter to me.
0:59:30 > 0:59:32Norstadt!
0:59:47 > 0:59:50Hey, look who it is!
0:59:50 > 0:59:52Who is it, bat boy?
0:59:54 > 0:59:56Hey, Norstadt!
0:59:59 > 1:00:01Hi, Chuck.
1:00:04 > 1:00:06Come on, you're hoggin' it. Over here.
1:00:10 > 1:00:13How's the scholar doin'?
1:00:13 > 1:00:15How's your freaky friend?
1:00:15 > 1:00:19He's all right... for a Hamburger-Head.
1:00:21 > 1:00:23How d'you know?
1:00:23 > 1:00:28I gave your sister a pink belly till she squealed like a pig!
1:00:26 > 1:00:28Jerks.
1:00:28 > 1:00:35Just don't tell anyone, all right?
1:00:31 > 1:00:35Why not?
1:00:32 > 1:00:35Just don't. Not till I take the exam.
1:00:35 > 1:00:37You're gonna hate that army school.
1:00:37 > 1:00:40I don't care. I just want out.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43Do you know how he hurt his face?
1:00:41 > 1:00:43Yeah, how'd the Hamburger get burnt?
1:00:46 > 1:00:48Car crash.
1:00:48 > 1:00:51He got burnt and a kid got killed.
1:00:51 > 1:00:54The Freak killed a kid? No shit!
1:00:54 > 1:00:59Listen, guys, don't say anything about McLeod. All right?
1:00:59 > 1:01:03Who would we tell? My friends hate me and I don't know anybody else.
1:01:03 > 1:01:06LAUGHTER
1:01:06 > 1:01:09What? It's true. >
1:01:20 > 1:01:22- SLURRED:- Hello, Charles.
1:01:28 > 1:01:30Would you come down here, please?
1:01:30 > 1:01:35What's the matter, can't you hear me? I said come down here!
1:01:35 > 1:01:39Who you been talkin' to, you little bastard?
1:01:39 > 1:01:41- Huh? - BARKKING
1:01:41 > 1:01:43Who did you tell?
1:01:43 > 1:01:45GLASS SMASHES
1:01:45 > 1:01:50Come down here, I said! Or are you deaf as well as stupid?
1:01:51 > 1:01:53Who's there? Who's that?!
1:01:53 > 1:01:56Get down here! Or do I have to come up and get you?
1:01:56 > 1:01:58It's three in the morning! >
1:01:58 > 1:02:01Who you been talkin' to, you little bastard?
1:02:01 > 1:02:03Do you realise what you've done to me?!
1:02:18 > 1:02:21SOBS
1:02:45 > 1:02:47Help yourself!
1:02:49 > 1:02:51Morning, Chuck. What's happening, man?
1:02:54 > 1:02:55- Charles...- We have some big news.
1:02:56 > 1:02:57Go ahead, tell him.
1:02:59 > 1:03:01Your mom and I are going to be married.
1:03:04 > 1:03:06Charles... Is there something you want to say?
1:03:07 > 1:03:09You may be tall but you're stupid.
1:03:09 > 1:03:11Gloria! You're practically naked!
1:03:11 > 1:03:12So what? It's my house!
1:03:12 > 1:03:14Heard the news?
1:03:14 > 1:03:15I heard it yesterday.
1:03:15 > 1:03:18Don't freak with delight(!) It might go to my head.
1:03:18 > 1:03:21- Congratulations, Carl. - Watch out, she bites.
1:03:21 > 1:03:23- You bite!- Butt out!
1:03:23 > 1:03:26- Shut up, Gloria!- Be quiet, and...
1:03:26 > 1:03:27..Think happy thoughts.
1:03:27 > 1:03:29Are we going to live with you in Connecticut?
1:03:29 > 1:03:35Sure. Your mom and I are going looking for a new home, and you're coming with us.
1:03:35 > 1:03:37You want to come along too, man?
1:03:37 > 1:03:40What about me? I don't get a say in where we live?
1:03:40 > 1:03:42Of course you do, come along, then.
1:03:42 > 1:03:46- I can't, because I'm going to Dad's, remember? I told you, Mother! - How convenient(!)
1:03:46 > 1:03:50I can't go. I've got to study and take care of my cats!
1:03:50 > 1:03:54Oh, Charles!
1:03:51 > 1:03:54- I don't take milk. - Oh, you don't take milk...
1:03:54 > 1:03:58- Your cat brother has developed a fetish for my underwear! - No accounting for taste!
1:03:58 > 1:04:05I think we should put it to sleep.
1:04:00 > 1:04:05I think we should put you to sleep.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05You touch Mac and you're dead!
1:04:05 > 1:04:09- What are you...- I'm trying to eat!
1:04:07 > 1:04:09THEY ALL ARGUE
1:04:10 > 1:04:13Don't hit your sister!
1:04:11 > 1:04:13What about his background?
1:04:13 > 1:04:19That's enough, Gloria!
1:04:15 > 1:04:19He started it!
1:04:17 > 1:04:19That's enough!
1:04:31 > 1:04:34It's OK, it's OK.
1:04:37 > 1:04:38Morning.
1:04:38 > 1:04:40Sorry to be late.
1:04:40 > 1:04:42That's all right.
1:04:44 > 1:04:47I wanted to talk to you, about what happened yesterday.
1:04:47 > 1:04:52Seems I'm not so good with people anymore.
1:04:54 > 1:04:59I've forgotten how to be with them, I guess. Can you understand that?
1:04:59 > 1:05:02Doesn't matter.
1:05:00 > 1:05:02Doesn't it?
1:05:02 > 1:05:05Why should it?
1:05:07 > 1:05:10So, can we start?
1:05:11 > 1:05:12All right.
1:05:15 > 1:05:18Your turn, Dougie.
1:05:19 > 1:05:24B-E-D. Bed.
1:05:24 > 1:05:25Six. Very good, Doug. Excellent.
1:05:25 > 1:05:33Triple word score, double letter on the F. 48 points.
1:05:33 > 1:05:37Have you heard the latest on the F-R-E-A-K?
1:05:37 > 1:05:42Gloria, don't call him that.
1:05:39 > 1:05:42Sorry. The reclusive deformed warpo.
1:05:42 > 1:05:46He killed a kid when he got that face.
1:05:46 > 1:05:48So Rob's mother said.
1:05:48 > 1:05:55She thinks he's JFK...
1:05:50 > 1:05:55Mom, I think you should know that...
1:05:51 > 1:05:55Erm, who's winning?
1:05:55 > 1:05:59Um...I think I am.
1:06:04 > 1:06:09Charles, I can't send you to the Lansings' with a carton of beans.
1:06:09 > 1:06:14What about this? You like this.
1:06:11 > 1:06:14No, I like beans.
1:06:16 > 1:06:18Sorry, Mrs Camlin.
1:06:18 > 1:06:23Take your time. We always stay late on Thursdays for Mr McLeod.
1:06:23 > 1:06:24Oh, that's nice of you.
1:06:29 > 1:06:30Ah!
1:06:32 > 1:06:36What?
1:06:33 > 1:06:36I... I have to go to the bathroom.
1:06:37 > 1:06:39Wait until we get home.
1:06:39 > 1:06:45Mom, I have to pee so bad I'm gonna wiz out my ear!
1:06:42 > 1:06:45Downstairs to the left.
1:06:58 > 1:07:02Good evening.
1:06:59 > 1:07:02It's almost ready, Mr McLeod.
1:07:02 > 1:07:04Thank you.
1:07:07 > 1:07:09Er...
1:07:12 > 1:07:17There you are. That does it. Thank you.
1:07:17 > 1:07:19Thank you.
1:07:26 > 1:07:29Bye, honey.
1:07:27 > 1:07:29Bye, Carl.
1:07:29 > 1:07:31Call us when you get there!
1:07:33 > 1:07:36Bye-bye!
1:07:40 > 1:07:43Want a beer?
1:07:41 > 1:07:43Yeah. Want a beer?
1:07:45 > 1:07:47Yeah.
1:07:49 > 1:07:54Quidem magistri discipulos tanta
1:07:54 > 1:07:58cumata dulcebant ut ipsi discipulis.
1:07:58 > 1:07:59Now...
1:07:59 > 1:08:05Right. "Some teachers used to teach their pupils so well..."
1:08:03 > 1:08:05With such great art.
1:08:06 > 1:08:08Erm... .."that..."
1:08:08 > 1:08:11This is Latin, not Swahili.
1:08:11 > 1:08:15You had this a week ago. What's the matter with you?
1:08:19 > 1:08:22Good afternoon.
1:08:20 > 1:08:22Afternoon.
1:08:22 > 1:08:25Good hunting?
1:08:23 > 1:08:25Can't complain.
1:08:28 > 1:08:33All right. Quidem magistri discipulos, tanta cumata...
1:08:34 > 1:08:36What are you lookin' at?
1:08:36 > 1:08:40I said what are you lookin' at?
1:08:37 > 1:08:40Norstadt, come here!
1:08:42 > 1:08:44Assholes!
1:08:59 > 1:09:03Better bring it up, Norstadt, whatever it is.
1:09:08 > 1:09:14I told how you got hurt, and how the kid died.
1:09:15 > 1:09:17Now everybody knows.
1:09:17 > 1:09:18And why did you do that?
1:09:18 > 1:09:22It was... I got...
1:09:22 > 1:09:25I... I was really angry.
1:09:28 > 1:09:31You're a hard marker, aren't you?
1:09:31 > 1:09:37People are either in or they're out. Strictly pass or fail.
1:09:34 > 1:09:37I'm sorry. I betrayed you.
1:09:37 > 1:09:42I stabbed you in the back, and I don't even know why.
1:09:42 > 1:09:46Come on, we're not doin' Julius Caesar now.
1:09:46 > 1:09:47What?
1:09:47 > 1:09:52Et tu, Chuckus? It's all right, I'll live.
1:09:53 > 1:10:01You mean you don't hate my guts?
1:09:54 > 1:10:01No, I don't hate your guts. Come on.
1:10:02 > 1:10:04Do you think I'm crazy?
1:10:07 > 1:10:13One of those kids who offs himself and writes a letter blaming Ed Sullivan.
1:10:13 > 1:10:18Why?
1:10:14 > 1:10:18The shrinks at school thought I was twisted.
1:10:18 > 1:10:24Probably because you're interesting.
1:10:20 > 1:10:24Sometimes I blank out, and I feel bad...
1:10:24 > 1:10:31I think about the past - my mother, my father. I don't really know how he died.
1:10:31 > 1:10:34My parents split up when I was four.
1:10:34 > 1:10:40The stuff about spy planes and pilots - I made it all up to impress you.
1:10:41 > 1:10:44To make me tutor you.
1:10:42 > 1:10:44Yeah.
1:10:45 > 1:10:50You needn't worry, Norstadt, you're not crazy. You're shrewd.
1:10:54 > 1:10:56People spend too much time thinking about the past.
1:10:58 > 1:11:01Whatever else it is, it's gone.
1:11:01 > 1:11:05You know, everybody else would be all over me with questions.
1:11:05 > 1:11:10"What do you mean you're crazy? Is your brain hot?" You never do that.
1:11:10 > 1:11:17- It's just habit. I like privacy. - What about living alone? Do you like that?
1:11:19 > 1:11:20- It likes me.- What do you mean?
1:11:20 > 1:11:25I've become a proper fairy-tale troll here, Norstadt.
1:11:28 > 1:11:30Tourist Board ought to pay me.
1:11:30 > 1:11:32You're not a troll.
1:11:31 > 1:11:32I'm a troll.
1:11:34 > 1:11:38That's my job, Norstadt. My part. You want this?
1:11:38 > 1:11:41No, you keep it.
1:11:44 > 1:11:48By the way, I'm setting you a practice exam tomorrow.
1:11:48 > 1:11:50But I haven't studied!
1:11:50 > 1:11:51"Then I'll make ya.
1:11:59 > 1:12:00"You're soft.
1:12:05 > 1:12:07"Won't anything make a man of you?
1:12:17 > 1:12:19"For 14 years I've been scared but it's gonna be all right!"
1:12:50 > 1:12:51Time's up.
1:12:53 > 1:12:56Pens down, time's up. Come on, Norstadt. Come on!
1:12:57 > 1:12:58Good.
1:13:00 > 1:13:04- Can you mark it now? - No, tonight. You're too excited.
1:13:04 > 1:13:08I didn't get the third one because we didn't do reciprocal proportions.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10- Go home, Norstadt.- No!
1:13:11 > 1:13:13Patience.
1:13:17 > 1:13:18Thank you.
1:13:29 > 1:13:32I'll try some of this tonight.
1:13:31 > 1:13:32< Good.
1:13:38 > 1:13:44Say, Chuck, were you out hiking lately?
1:13:42 > 1:13:44Er, no, not me.
1:13:44 > 1:13:46Up north, Mr McLeod's place?
1:13:49 > 1:13:51No, not me. I'm in a real hurry here.
1:13:54 > 1:13:56I don't know.
1:14:14 > 1:14:17Well?
1:14:15 > 1:14:17Well?
1:14:17 > 1:14:23Are you going to tell me?
1:14:19 > 1:14:23Get in.
1:14:20 > 1:14:23Tell me! Or do I have to kill you?
1:14:23 > 1:14:2684 per cent.
1:14:26 > 1:14:3084 per cent? No way, that is great! 84 per cent!
1:14:30 > 1:14:33I'm a genius! I am a genius now!
1:14:33 > 1:14:35I am one of the geniuses!
1:14:35 > 1:14:39All right, it's only a practice exam. Get in.
1:14:39 > 1:14:44I'm brilliant! I am a regular Einstein!
1:14:43 > 1:14:44Norstadt!
1:14:44 > 1:14:49OK, how come we're not studying if I'm so stupid?
1:14:46 > 1:14:49Because it's carrot day.
1:14:50 > 1:14:52Put your belt on.
1:15:04 > 1:15:08Wow, look at the seaplane!
1:15:05 > 1:15:08It's not a seaplane, it's a carrot.
1:15:08 > 1:15:15You're kidding?
1:15:10 > 1:15:15What are you waiting for? Take off. Go on.
1:15:48 > 1:15:51Now you can tell him you've flown.
1:16:08 > 1:16:12Think you can handle this yourself?
1:16:10 > 1:16:12Really?
1:16:35 > 1:16:37- Did you see us dive up there?- Yes.
1:16:37 > 1:16:38How fast do you think we're going? 100? 125?
1:16:38 > 1:16:41'I don't know. About...
1:16:41 > 1:16:43No. 165 miles an hour.
1:16:43 > 1:16:49John says we get great wind. John says it's not like a passenger plane.
1:16:49 > 1:16:52John flew a Starfighter once.
1:16:52 > 1:16:53As a matter of fact, I did.
1:16:53 > 1:16:54He flew a Starfighter.
1:16:54 > 1:16:58Can you imagine the G-force on something like that?
1:16:58 > 1:17:04And the instruments... You should have seen the dials on this.
1:17:04 > 1:17:07On the jet, it had to be ten times as many, at least.
1:17:13 > 1:17:18What, you thought it was Brigitte Bardot driving?
1:17:16 > 1:17:18No.
1:17:18 > 1:17:21No, I was just thinking, it's weird.
1:17:21 > 1:17:25What?
1:17:22 > 1:17:25I can't see your scars anymore.
1:17:25 > 1:17:28I can hardly even tell they're there.
1:17:28 > 1:17:34What about you?
1:17:30 > 1:17:34It's different for me.
1:17:32 > 1:17:34Yeah.
1:17:34 > 1:17:37Did you ever try to have it fixed?
1:17:37 > 1:17:42No. I thought about it, but it just never seemed right.
1:17:42 > 1:17:48My sister wanted to know if maybe you'd be interested in our mother.
1:17:48 > 1:17:56She could keep me in the attic. Can she cook?
1:17:51 > 1:17:56Hello, no, but she's gorgeous.
1:17:56 > 1:17:57You could save us from the hairball.
1:17:57 > 1:17:59- He's number five?- Yeah.
1:18:00 > 1:18:02- He can't be that bad.- What?!
1:18:13 > 1:18:19I can wait for you if you like and then drop you off at the Lansings'.
1:18:14 > 1:18:19It's OK. I've got to feed the cat.
1:18:21 > 1:18:22All right.
1:18:25 > 1:18:26Thanks a lot.
1:18:28 > 1:18:29Hey, Mac, you hungry?
1:18:29 > 1:18:32Sorry I'm late, buddy.
1:18:34 > 1:18:36No, get down. Come on, come on.
1:18:41 > 1:18:43I guess you were hungry.
1:18:44 > 1:18:46CLATTERING
1:19:13 > 1:19:19What are you doin'?
1:19:14 > 1:19:19Get out!
1:19:15 > 1:19:19You heard her. Get out!
1:19:16 > 1:19:19What a day!
1:19:19 > 1:19:22What a perfect day!
1:19:22 > 1:19:24- What a day...- Doug, do something! >
1:19:24 > 1:19:26- Come here!- Uh-uh.
1:19:28 > 1:19:31Come here! You going to keep quiet?
1:19:31 > 1:19:35Flintstone, you could kill me, and I'd die happy telling Mother.
1:19:37 > 1:19:40You keep your mouth shut, you hear?
1:19:40 > 1:19:43- You hear me?- Forget it!
1:19:46 > 1:19:48NO! MAC!
1:19:52 > 1:19:53Bastard!
1:19:53 > 1:19:56Let me go! He's hurt!
1:19:56 > 1:19:58Calm down, kid, you're crazy!
1:19:58 > 1:20:00His father was a psychotic maniac!
1:20:00 > 1:20:02Shut up, you stupid cow!
1:20:02 > 1:20:04- Gloria?- He should know.
1:20:04 > 1:20:10Your father was an abusive drunk who killed himself in a mental hospital. And you will too.
1:20:10 > 1:20:13Liar! I'm gonna smash your lyin' face!
1:20:13 > 1:20:18You don't believe me? Bottom drawer of Mother's dresser.
1:20:15 > 1:20:18Liar! You're dead!
1:20:18 > 1:20:22You're going to be good? I'll let you up if you're good.
1:20:22 > 1:20:27Don't listen to her, man, she's just tryin' to get you goin'.
1:20:56 > 1:21:01BARKING
1:21:01 > 1:21:02MCLEOD!
1:21:06 > 1:21:08MR MCLEOD, SIR!
1:21:09 > 1:21:11Charles? What's the matter?
1:21:12 > 1:21:14Charles? What's wrong?
1:21:19 > 1:21:20Charles?
1:21:31 > 1:21:37They were in bed... He hurt Mac... She said...
1:21:37 > 1:21:39Take it easy. Go slow.
1:21:39 > 1:21:40She said...
1:21:42 > 1:21:48I don't have a father...cos he walked out on me to be a drunk.
1:21:49 > 1:21:51To be a crazy fucking drunk!
1:21:53 > 1:21:55He killed himself in a mental institution.
1:22:00 > 1:22:02Here, sit down.
1:22:21 > 1:22:22Morning, Mr McLeod.
1:22:22 > 1:22:24Good morning, Chief...?
1:22:24 > 1:22:26- Stark.- Chief Stark.
1:22:26 > 1:22:28- Can I come in?- Oh, please. Come in.
1:22:29 > 1:22:36- I'm looking for the Norstadt boy. Is he here?- He is, yes.- He is? Oh, that's a relief.
1:22:36 > 1:22:42The Lansings are in quite a state. They had a family melodrama there.
1:22:42 > 1:22:48He was very upset when he arrived. I'm sorry I don't have a telephone. I would have called.
1:22:48 > 1:22:53- I hear you're tutoring Chuck. - Yes, that's correct.
1:22:53 > 1:22:57- Fine. Can I see him? - He's asleep. I'll...
1:22:57 > 1:22:58- Where would that be?- Upstairs.
1:22:58 > 1:23:03It's all right. I'll just take a peek, see if he's all right...
1:23:03 > 1:23:04What's goin' on?
1:23:07 > 1:23:12- It's time for you to go home, son. - It's all right. Nothing to worry about.
1:23:12 > 1:23:18- You've given a lot of people a fright.- I don't wanna go. I'm staying here.- Charles.
1:23:18 > 1:23:21Your mother's worried. She's on her way back.
1:23:21 > 1:23:24I don't care. I'm staying here!
1:23:24 > 1:23:27- Why don't you get your clothes and let's go.- No!
1:23:27 > 1:23:34Charles... I want you to get dressed and go with Chief Stark.
1:23:34 > 1:23:38What?
1:23:35 > 1:23:38You have to. It'll be all right.
1:23:48 > 1:23:51Why d'you lie to me the other day?
1:23:52 > 1:23:54I don't know.
1:23:55 > 1:23:58You like your teacher, don't you?
1:23:58 > 1:24:00He's my best friend.
1:24:24 > 1:24:26Charles...
1:24:26 > 1:24:29I'm sorry.
1:24:31 > 1:24:33I'm sorry.
1:24:37 > 1:24:39Is that why you divorced him?
1:24:40 > 1:24:42Cos he was psycho?
1:24:44 > 1:24:45That was wicked of Gloria.
1:24:46 > 1:24:48Charles, it was just wicked.
1:24:51 > 1:24:53Your father wasn't...
1:24:54 > 1:24:56Your father was a wonderful man.
1:24:57 > 1:24:59But he had problems, and when he drank...
1:25:01 > 1:25:02..we just couldn't handle it.
1:25:04 > 1:25:06He hurt us, didn't he?
1:25:07 > 1:25:08Oh, my poor boy.
1:25:10 > 1:25:15My poor Chuck. Oh, what a time you've had.
1:25:18 > 1:25:20Y'know, I always blamed you.
1:25:20 > 1:25:22I know, baby, I know.
1:25:23 > 1:25:26It's all right.
1:25:29 > 1:25:35Charles, why didn't you tell me you were going to see Mr McLeod?
1:25:35 > 1:25:39I wanted to, but I didn't think you'd let me go.
1:25:40 > 1:25:42You're mad, aren't you?
1:25:43 > 1:25:45No, Charles.
1:25:45 > 1:25:49See, he's my tutor, but he's also my friend.
1:25:50 > 1:25:53I can tell him anything.
1:25:55 > 1:26:00Last night, did he... or at any other time...
1:26:00 > 1:26:03..did he...touch you?
1:26:04 > 1:26:05Yeah, sure.
1:26:07 > 1:26:13How did he touch you?
1:26:09 > 1:26:13Why are you asking me this? I told you he's my friend.
1:26:15 > 1:26:17Just tell me.
1:26:18 > 1:26:22Chief Stark told me something about your friend.
1:26:22 > 1:26:25A boy was killed in a driving accident.
1:26:25 > 1:26:27I know, he told me. So what?
1:26:27 > 1:26:31He went to prison for three years.
1:26:32 > 1:26:36The boy that was killed was a pupil of his.
1:26:36 > 1:26:40He was in the car with McLeod and they were having...
1:26:44 > 1:26:48He was abusing the boy, Charles. Do you understand what that means?
1:26:51 > 1:26:53No.
1:26:53 > 1:27:00No. You don't want me to love anyone else, so you hate him. You hate him.
1:27:00 > 1:27:02Charles!
1:27:02 > 1:27:09- Charles, please! Listen to me! I'm only trying to protect you! - You're a liar! Leave me alone!
1:27:20 > 1:27:22Get out of my sight!
1:27:22 > 1:27:23Sorry.
1:27:42 > 1:27:44Hello, Mrs Palin. My name is...
1:27:44 > 1:27:48I know who you are. What do you want here?
1:27:48 > 1:27:53I came to see Charles and I wanted to explain...
1:27:50 > 1:27:53What you've been doing to my son?
1:27:53 > 1:27:55I haven't done anything to your son.
1:27:55 > 1:27:58What? You expect me to believe that?
1:27:58 > 1:28:03How do they let people like you walk around?
1:28:00 > 1:28:03You're being irrational. Let me...
1:28:03 > 1:28:08What?! You want to see irrational? I'll show you irrational! Get out!
1:28:08 > 1:28:10Get out!
1:28:46 > 1:28:48Ah, Doctor.
1:28:49 > 1:28:54Mrs Palin, this is Dr Talbot. He's come all the way from Bangor to see us.
1:28:54 > 1:28:58Hello, Charles. Just call me Lionel.
1:29:02 > 1:29:03John Wayne.
1:29:05 > 1:29:07- And how do you feel about that? - What do you mean?
1:29:09 > 1:29:14Do you feel good about seeing John Wayne, or does it make you uneasy?
1:29:14 > 1:29:18I don't know. Why do I have to feel anything?
1:29:18 > 1:29:23You don't. But you don't want to keep things hidden that could hurt you.
1:29:26 > 1:29:30There's no right or wrong answer here...OK, Chuck?
1:29:32 > 1:29:35Let's try another.
1:29:41 > 1:29:46- It's a very sensitive issue, Mr McLeod. The mother's concerned. - Have you talked to Charles or not?
1:29:46 > 1:29:51- Yes, we have.- Then what do you need a meeting for? What did he say?
1:29:51 > 1:29:56I can't discuss that. We just want a little meeting.
1:29:56 > 1:29:58You mean a trial.
1:29:59 > 1:30:04It's just an informal get-together to get the facts straight.
1:30:04 > 1:30:07You don't even need a lawyer.
1:30:07 > 1:30:12Mr McLeod, I would appreciate it if you didn't try to see the boy now.
1:30:12 > 1:30:15Not till after the meeting.
1:30:15 > 1:30:17I'd appreciate it.
1:30:19 > 1:30:24I came here to get away from your meetings and...
1:30:26 > 1:30:32Seven years I've lived here... alone in this house, and in peace.
1:30:32 > 1:30:38Maybe it would have been best all around if that's the way things had stayed.
1:30:44 > 1:30:50- You promised me!- How can I possibly let you take that exam after everything that's happened?
1:30:50 > 1:30:54Nothing's happened! Nothing! Why won't you believe me?
1:30:54 > 1:30:59It's out of my hands. The authorities will decide if there's anything to decide.
1:30:59 > 1:31:04Oh, my gosh, I cannot live here! I can't live here!
1:31:04 > 1:31:09- There's perfectly good schools in Connecticut.- I'll run! I will run!
1:31:09 > 1:31:14OK, Charles. OK, Charles. Charles, I'll talk to Gloria.
1:31:14 > 1:31:18It's not Gloria I can't live with.
1:31:23 > 1:31:27I'm sorry.
1:31:24 > 1:31:27Do whatever you want, all right?
1:31:55 > 1:32:02Mr McLeod, I'm afraid we're getting too old to stay open so late.
1:32:04 > 1:32:09You'll just have to come back at our regular hours. Sorry for your trouble.
1:32:46 > 1:32:48HORN BLARES
1:33:24 > 1:33:28Charles, would you please take this out to the car and give it to Carl?
1:34:02 > 1:34:04Good luck in the exam.
1:34:07 > 1:34:08Thanks.
1:34:17 > 1:34:19Oh, oh. I got it.
1:34:20 > 1:34:23Here. Careful, it's fragile.
1:34:24 > 1:34:25I got it.
1:34:29 > 1:34:33Put Gloria's in first. Mum's too. Put mine in last for easy access. >
1:34:45 > 1:34:46Mom!
1:35:05 > 1:35:06Asshole!
1:35:21 > 1:35:23MR MCLEOD!
1:35:24 > 1:35:26MR MCLEOD!
1:35:30 > 1:35:35I'm not allowed to talk to you, Norstadt. You have to go.
1:35:35 > 1:35:37No! No!
1:35:39 > 1:35:42- I want to know! - You always want to know!
1:35:42 > 1:35:47I want to know the truth!
1:35:43 > 1:35:47About what? Life? Religion?
1:35:47 > 1:35:50Why did you go to prison?
1:35:50 > 1:35:55I was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. You can look it up.
1:35:55 > 1:36:01Did you? The boy in the car, the boy that died. Did you molest him?
1:36:03 > 1:36:06What do you think, Norstadt?
1:36:03 > 1:36:06Stop playing the teacher. Tell me!
1:36:06 > 1:36:10I think you've already made your mind up, haven't you?
1:36:10 > 1:36:15Looks like I've fallen off that pedestal you put people on. Strictly pass or fail, isn't it?
1:36:15 > 1:36:23I don't know what to think!
1:36:17 > 1:36:23You're just lazy! I couldn't teach you a thing!
1:36:23 > 1:36:25- Just tell me!- Did I ever abuse you?
1:36:25 > 1:36:33Did I ever lay a hand of anything but friendship on you? Think, Norstadt, reason.
1:36:33 > 1:36:38Did I? Can you imagine me ever doing so?
1:36:44 > 1:36:46Then what about the past? What do you see?
1:36:46 > 1:36:51- Tell me you didn't. I'll believe you. - No! No, sir!
1:36:51 > 1:36:55I didn't spend all summer so you could cheat on this question.
1:37:05 > 1:37:06I'm sorry.
1:37:06 > 1:37:08I didn't know what to think. I'm sorry.
1:37:12 > 1:37:15It's all right, Charles. It's not your fault.
1:37:20 > 1:37:22You're a good student, Charles.
1:37:25 > 1:37:26You're a very good student.
1:37:39 > 1:37:41You better go.
1:37:47 > 1:37:49Goodbye.
1:37:51 > 1:37:53Sequari deum.
1:38:16 > 1:38:18Gentlemen, we're ready.
1:38:19 > 1:38:21Good luck.
1:38:45 > 1:38:50You have five minutes left in section A. Five minutes.
1:38:58 > 1:39:00Pencils down.
1:39:00 > 1:39:05In section B, you will translate the passage from Cicero,
1:39:05 > 1:39:09on the value and nature of friendship.
1:39:09 > 1:39:13Pencils ready.... Begin.
1:39:26 > 1:39:30Mr McLeod, I'd like to introduce Miss Fletcher from Children's Aid,
1:39:30 > 1:39:37Dr Talbot, Judge Sinclair, Mr McDowell from the DA's office.
1:39:38 > 1:39:41Is your legal counsel not with you?
1:39:45 > 1:39:49- I was told that this was an informal meeting. Isn't that right? - Oh, no, that's correct.
1:39:49 > 1:39:51William, why don't you begin?
1:39:55 > 1:39:59Why didn't you go to the mother and make sure that Charles had told her about the tutoring?
1:39:59 > 1:40:02Because I...
1:40:02 > 1:40:06- You've never taught, have you? - Taught? No.
1:40:09 > 1:40:13- You can't teach a thing without giving away your trust. - I don't follow.
1:40:13 > 1:40:19Let's say I was teaching you, as a lawyer, to be honest.
1:40:19 > 1:40:27I couldn't trust you to tell the truth, then run round the courts to see whether you were lying.
1:40:28 > 1:40:31Not unless I was absolutely sure that you were lying.
1:40:37 > 1:40:39Perhaps you should tell us about Patrick Scott.
1:40:41 > 1:40:42What would you like to know?
1:40:42 > 1:40:44Whatever you feel is relevant?
1:40:46 > 1:40:48Nothing.
1:40:48 > 1:40:50Please, humour me.
1:40:53 > 1:40:58Patrick was an outstanding student. He could have done anything.
1:40:58 > 1:41:00He was also very troubled.
1:41:03 > 1:41:07He was from a broken home, full of guilt and violent fantasies.
1:41:07 > 1:41:08Not unlike the profile of Charles.
1:41:08 > 1:41:13No, not unlike it. He too had a hard time with authority.
1:41:13 > 1:41:17I was one of the few, if not the only one, that he connected with.
1:41:17 > 1:41:23He developed a fixation with me that I didn't know how to deal with.
1:41:24 > 1:41:26I was 26. I didn't know a thing.
1:41:28 > 1:41:34When I did confront him with it, on the way back from Boston, I was too frank, too hard.
1:41:36 > 1:41:42- He became enraged, tried to step from the vehicle into the highway. - That's not what the jury found.
1:41:42 > 1:41:49- You asked me what I knew of Patrick Scott, not what the jury thought it found.- But you lost your job?
1:41:49 > 1:41:52Yes, I lost my position.
1:41:52 > 1:41:56Then why, ten years later, would you pick a strange boy as a pupil?
1:41:58 > 1:42:00Second chance.
1:42:00 > 1:42:05Charles needed my help. I guess I needed his too.
1:42:07 > 1:42:09How would you define "needed"?
1:42:09 > 1:42:14I'm a teacher, Dr Talbot. I make my living otherwise, but I'm a teacher.
1:42:14 > 1:42:19Afraid I don't follow. You were expelled from the profession.
1:42:19 > 1:42:23I'm not talking about a piece of paper.
1:42:23 > 1:42:27I'm talking about a moment of grace.
1:42:28 > 1:42:32A moment to prove that I could do it well and true.
1:42:32 > 1:42:38And did you?
1:42:34 > 1:42:38Yes. Charles is a good student.
1:42:38 > 1:42:41You're very fond of him.
1:42:42 > 1:42:45Yes, I'm very fond of him.
1:42:45 > 1:42:52- As fond of you were of Patrick Scott?- No, much closer. Is that my crime?
1:42:52 > 1:42:58- Is that what I'm accused of? - We're simply interested in finding out the truth.
1:42:58 > 1:43:01- I wish you were!- I beg your pardon?
1:43:01 > 1:43:04You're interested in the appearance of the truth.
1:43:04 > 1:43:11You haven't the slightest comprehension what bond of friendship I have with Charles.
1:43:11 > 1:43:14- Perhaps you could enlighten us? - I don't think I can.
1:43:14 > 1:43:18The tragedy of that is, I don't know why I can't.
1:43:18 > 1:43:23Is it this? Is this what you see?
1:43:23 > 1:43:27I assure you, it is human.
1:43:29 > 1:43:35If that's all you see, then you don't see me. You can't see me.
1:43:42 > 1:43:47- Perhaps we all need a short recess. - When you charge me, what will happen to Charles?
1:43:47 > 1:43:49Mr McLeod, no-one has....
1:43:49 > 1:43:54Will he have to testify?
1:43:50 > 1:43:54This panel....
1:43:51 > 1:43:54Will he be examined, probed?
1:43:54 > 1:43:56That's enough!
1:43:56 > 1:44:01Obviously the boy will be involved. That goes without saying.
1:44:02 > 1:44:09Your implication that this is some sort of violation is offensive in the extreme! Do I make myself clear?
1:44:10 > 1:44:13I apologise.
1:44:14 > 1:44:21And I will cooperate with any course you feel necessary to resolve the problem with fairness, discretion.
1:44:26 > 1:44:28Thank you.
1:44:54 > 1:44:58Walker...
1:44:55 > 1:44:58Yes, sir?
1:44:56 > 1:44:58I think it's from your mother.
1:44:58 > 1:45:01Mr Smith-Baker.
1:44:59 > 1:45:01Sir.
1:45:01 > 1:45:05Mr Gablon.
1:45:02 > 1:45:05Thank you, sir.
1:45:03 > 1:45:05Mr Norstadt.
1:45:05 > 1:45:07Check the address on that.
1:45:07 > 1:45:09Mr Libby.
1:45:39 > 1:45:41Hop in!
1:46:12 > 1:46:19'Hello, Norstadt. I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to see you.
1:46:19 > 1:46:24'I'm not allowed to talk to you, I'm not allowed to write this letter.
1:46:24 > 1:46:29'These are my concessions and their conditions...
1:46:29 > 1:46:36'..or, what I hope any good teacher would call "a lesson in the tender mercies of injustice".
1:46:38 > 1:46:41'But, strangely, this is nothing to grieve over...
1:46:42 > 1:46:48'..because you know the truth, and I now know that you can outgrow a part, even a sad one.
1:46:49 > 1:46:51'You taught me that.
1:46:52 > 1:46:58'You gave me what I never expected to find again - a gift of your trust and love.
1:47:00 > 1:47:02'And nothing can take that grace away.
1:47:04 > 1:47:08'The best is yet to be, Norstadt, so do it well.
1:47:10 > 1:47:14'I remain, as ever, your tutor, Justin McLeod.'
1:47:20 > 1:47:22..Those who persevere in faith.
1:47:22 > 1:47:23Once again,
1:47:23 > 1:47:30congratulations on achieving the goals set out before you four years ago.
1:47:31 > 1:47:35Class of 1972...dismiss!
1:47:38 > 1:47:40'Everything was perfect.'
1:47:57 > 1:47:58Charles!
1:48:00 > 1:48:03- Darling, I am so proud of you. - Thank you, Mother.
1:48:03 > 1:48:07Charles, your mother and I are pleased.
1:48:05 > 1:48:07Thank you, sir.
1:48:10 > 1:48:15We'll see you at dinner, honey!
1:48:12 > 1:48:15See you at eight!
1:48:15 > 1:48:17I'll see you guys later.
1:49:09 > 1:49:12'But there's always a face before me now...
1:49:13 > 1:49:14..somewhere beyond the edge of the crowd.'
