1
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,500
Little Man TATE
2
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:14,500
It's funny, because I think
I can even remember being born.
3
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:19,670
For the first two weeks of my life,
I didn't have a name.
4
00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:22,500
- Dede couldn't make up her mind.
- Hi, kid.
5
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:25,420
She finally decided on Fred.
6
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:30,640
She said she'd never heard of
a little kid named Fred before.
7
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,140
When I'm dancin' at Radio City once a week,
you can have french fries as much as you want.
8
00:02:36,270 --> 00:02:38,560
But right now, you gotta eat this shit.
9
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:40,940
- Yes, you do. Come on!
- No.
10
00:02:41,150 --> 00:02:42,820
- No?
- No.
11
00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:47,740
If you think I'm gonna say "choo-choo" and "big garage"
to get you to open up your mouth...
12
00:02:47,950 --> 00:02:51,580
...you got another think comin'.
- Koffer.
13
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:57,420
What is with you today, huh?
No koffer. That's food for you to eat, OK?
14
00:02:57,630 --> 00:03:01,800
- Koffer, Mommy.
- No, Fred. That's a plate. No koffer.
15
00:03:02,130 --> 00:03:04,300
Koffer!
16
00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:07,850
Look. All right? No koffer, it's a plate.
17
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,560
Jesus.
18
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:16,320
Koffer.
19
00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:40,090
Definitely not like Matt Montini.
20
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:43,850
He's the kid I admire most.
21
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:49,480
Matt Montini is always
kickball team captain.
22
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:53,860
Matt Montini always has
someone to eat lunch with.
23
00:03:53,940 --> 00:03:56,650
- What about Fred?
- Tate's a wuss.
24
00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:01,450
Oof!
25
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:05,000
- What a dork!
- Tate's a loser!
26
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:24,810
...that I never paid attention,
that I was probably retarded...
27
00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:30,360
...and that I had a very limited future
as a citizen of the United States.
28
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,410
Then, a week later, she said
I should probably skip second grade...
29
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:38,370
...maybe even skip
elementary school altogether.
30
00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:46,300
All I want is someone to eat lunch with.
31
00:04:55,180 --> 00:04:56,930
Fred Tate?
32
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:59,440
Fred Tate!
33
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:12,990
All right. Let's all be good citizens...
34
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,500
...and be very, very quiet for Fred.
35
00:05:18,330 --> 00:05:20,420
Oh, a visitor.
36
00:05:20,630 --> 00:05:23,210
How lovely to see you, Miss Tate.
37
00:05:23,550 --> 00:05:26,760
Fred and I are just getting
ready to do a little duet.
38
00:05:27,090 --> 00:05:29,050
The kid's got an appointment.
39
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:34,060
Then we'll just make it one quickie
little verse, if that's all right with you.
40
00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:36,980
- Yeah, whatever.
- Fred.
41
00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:47,330
that there's just too little of
42
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:52,620
- You were playing backwards again.
- It's a stupid song, Dede.
43
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:04,510
Dede says I don't have a dad.
She says I'm the lmmaculate Conception.
44
00:06:05,470 --> 00:06:09,230
That's a pretty big responsibility
for a little kid.
45
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:23,490
His allergies might be getting better,
but I see no improvement in the stomach.
46
00:06:23,620 --> 00:06:26,000
Has he been following the diet?
47
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,330
Fred just doesn't like baby food.
He never liked it.
48
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:33,630
Does he like havin' an ulcer?
Dede, if he doesn't follow the diet...
49
00:06:33,710 --> 00:06:37,180
...he's not gonna get better.
That's as simple as that.
50
00:06:38,090 --> 00:06:41,140
Jeez, drink a little water,
will you, Freddie?
51
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:44,890
- I spilt some.
- So you did.
52
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:49,150
Why don't you wait for me at the table?
We're almost through here.
53
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,400
I tell you, Dede...
54
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,280
...l've seen cops on the bomb squad
with better stomachs than he's got.
55
00:06:57,410 --> 00:07:00,200
- He does worry a lot.
- About what?
56
00:07:01,660 --> 00:07:03,870
About the world. About me.
57
00:07:05,210 --> 00:07:08,880
The only thing he should be
worrying about is a loose tooth.
58
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:12,420
He's got his whole adult life
to be miserable.
59
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:16,800
Hey, you know what day
next Saturday is?
60
00:07:16,890 --> 00:07:20,020
You get your period.
I spend the day alone in the park.
61
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:22,730
Very funny, lame-o. It's your birthday.
62
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,110
- Oh, my God.
- Come on!
63
00:07:38,370 --> 00:07:40,870
Fred!
64
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,170
Hey, turn that up. It's a good one.
65
00:07:45,460 --> 00:07:48,380
Wait a minute. Get your shoes on.
There you go.
66
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:52,140
Getting heavy.
Care to cut a rug, handsome?
67
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:55,600
Huh? Remember how I showed you?
68
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,770
Whoo!
69
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:34,900
This one calls himself Joey X
but his real name is Joseph Zimmerman.
70
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:36,980
12 years old. Experimental painter.
71
00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:40,230
He's currently working
on a $200,000 commission...
72
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,660
...for Hiroshi Electronics
corporate headquarters in Tokyo.
73
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:46,700
- What does he call this painting?
- "Irony".
74
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:48,870
Write him down, please.
75
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:55,130
Cherry Reynolds. 10 years old. Just
published a volume of feminist poetry.
76
00:08:55,250 --> 00:08:59,090
In the preface, she refers to
the American housewife as, and I quote...
77
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:03,680
..."A pathetic slamhound with
no notion of self-worth whatsoever."
78
00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:08,690
- Whatever I pay you, it's not enough.
- True.
79
00:09:08,810 --> 00:09:13,480
Fred Tate. Seven years old. Second
grader at Eisenhower Elementary School.
80
00:09:13,690 --> 00:09:19,110
He writes poetry, paints in oils and water,
plays the piano at competition level...
81
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,620
...all the while maintaining
unlimited skills in math and physics.
82
00:09:24,450 --> 00:09:27,040
I can't explain it, Jane.
83
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,540
It's not so much what he knows, but...
84
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,880
...what he understands.
85
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:37,260
"Death". There stands death,
86
00:09:37,470 --> 00:09:40,600
A bluish distillate
in a cup without a saucer.
87
00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:43,310
Such a strange place to find a cup,
88
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:45,810
Standing on the back of a hand.
89
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:49,360
Oh, shooting star that fell
into my eyes and through my body:
90
00:09:49,570 --> 00:09:52,490
Not to forget you. To endure.
91
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:08,050
- Has this boy been tested?
- Just the Stanford-Binet.
92
00:10:08,250 --> 00:10:10,340
His numbers are here.
93
00:10:10,420 --> 00:10:12,930
This is extraordinary.
94
00:10:14,510 --> 00:10:18,140
- Where's the rest of his stuff?
- Apparently...
95
00:10:18,260 --> 00:10:21,060
...the mother refuses
to let him take any other tests.
96
00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:23,150
What about the father?
97
00:10:23,270 --> 00:10:26,690
- I don't know what happened to him.
- She probably doesn't either.
98
00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:32,240
- Did you send them our material?
- Yes, but I don't know if she'll respond.
99
00:10:32,450 --> 00:10:34,410
Well, keep trying.
100
00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:37,330
Stupid woman.
101
00:10:37,450 --> 00:10:40,580
M-A-I T-A-I.
102
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:43,710
Mai tai. Did I say "margarita"?
103
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,880
I don't think so.
104
00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:50,260
Scotch rocks, vodka tonic and a Bud.
105
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,270
The kid's mind is just somewhere else.
Maybe he's bored or somethin'.
106
00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:59,230
He hasn't said anything, but I can tell.
107
00:10:59,350 --> 00:11:02,980
- Have you heard a word I said?
- Yeah, Dede. I always hear you.
108
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:05,070
Today your kid's bored.
109
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,700
Yesterday he was having
some funny nightmares.
110
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:10,700
He woke up inside of some painting
I never even heard of.
111
00:11:10,910 --> 00:11:15,290
Day before that, correct me if I'm wrong,
he wrote you an opera for Mother's Day.
112
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:18,420
I mean, Jesus, Dede,
if anyone's bored, it's me.
113
00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:21,460
Am I that bad? Sorry.
114
00:11:22,510 --> 00:11:23,550
Psst!
115
00:11:23,630 --> 00:11:25,220
- What?
- Come here.
116
00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:27,720
- What?
- I got a line on somethin'.
117
00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:29,390
Yeah?
118
00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:33,350
Guy comes in here yesterday.
He owns this big hotel down in Orlando.
119
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,320
They do a show every night
and he says he needs dancers.
120
00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:41,700
Look at this place. It's beautiful.
121
00:11:42,110 --> 00:11:46,990
Oh, come on, Gina. I ain't danced since
I was 19. And even then, I wasn't so hot.
122
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,910
And there is the matter
of my big, fat ass too.
123
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,830
Please, we're talkin' Orlando, honey.
Not Vegas.
124
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,380
Down there, if you can tap your feet,
you're Madonna.
125
00:11:57,550 --> 00:12:01,090
I say we go down there for the summer
and make a vacation out of it.
126
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:04,520
Hey, you two wanna blab,
go work for the phone company.
127
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,690
Why don't you take a pill, ape-shape?
We're tryin' to talk here.
128
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:13,480
Well, the place does look really nice.
129
00:12:15,070 --> 00:12:17,570
Fred does like to swim.
130
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,330
Contrary to what
you're saying, Ms Montoya...
131
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:33,630
...welfare is in fact bad for minorities.
132
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,680
As a social worker, every day you must
see people who have simply given up.
133
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,810
And who's to blame them?
134
00:12:42,890 --> 00:12:47,690
I mean, with people like yourself fighting
for bigger and bigger hand-outs...
135
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,570
...there's no incentive...
136
00:13:02,290 --> 00:13:04,790
- Dede?
- Mm.
137
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,210
Wake up.
138
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:09,590
What? What's wrong, kid, huh?
139
00:13:10,420 --> 00:13:12,510
You sick?
140
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,140
You feel OK to me.
141
00:13:15,220 --> 00:13:17,730
This is for you.
142
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:21,480
Looks like somebody already opened it,
huh?
143
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,860
It's from the Grierson School.
They wanna meet us.
144
00:13:25,980 --> 00:13:28,490
Yeah, yeah. I can read, Fred.
145
00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:33,580
Do me a favour. I had a bad night.
Go get your mother a Coke, OK?
146
00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:37,040
Come on, I'd do it for you.
147
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,090
This jerk, he's got all his stuff
separated into whites, off-whites...
148
00:13:46,220 --> 00:13:48,930
...whites with stripes,
whites with polka dots.
149
00:13:49,010 --> 00:13:52,470
He's got ten dryers all to himself.
Drivin' me crazy.
150
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,850
So you know what I do?
151
00:13:55,060 --> 00:13:59,560
I go outside and I kick his car
so that his siren goes off.
152
00:13:59,770 --> 00:14:03,110
So the alarm's goin' off. He comes
back in screamin' and he goes...
153
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,910
..."Hey! What happened to my briefs?"
154
00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:09,660
So you know what I do?
I start talkin' like I don't speak English.
155
00:14:18,130 --> 00:14:23,010
- Hey! Did I hit anybody?
- I'm trying to read.
156
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:26,050
What are you such
a crabby appleton for, huh?
157
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,140
"The Mathematician". Any good?
158
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:35,730
"The MatheMagician".
It's Jane Grierson's new book.
159
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,030
Oh.
160
00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:40,740
Jane Grierson again. Great!
161
00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:45,660
This boy, Damon Wells, can multiply
two columns of 20-digit numbers...
162
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:48,040
...in five minutes.
163
00:14:48,660 --> 00:14:50,670
Oh.
164
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:54,500
When Jane Grierson found him,
he was living in a foster home.
165
00:14:54,630 --> 00:14:57,010
Now he travels all over the place.
166
00:14:58,050 --> 00:14:59,630
Really?
167
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:05,140
Dr Grierson played the violin for the
Cleveland Philharmonic when she was 11.
168
00:15:05,980 --> 00:15:08,900
Is the book about her or the kid?
169
00:15:12,570 --> 00:15:15,490
Looks like a real bozo in that cape.
170
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,040
Quit it.
171
00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:30,920
You got no sense of humour,
you know that?
172
00:15:33,630 --> 00:15:37,680
All right, you win. Come on, let's go.
Put your shoes on. Come on!
173
00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:50,820
Hi. Garth Emmerick.
I'm Dr Grierson's assistant.
174
00:15:52,610 --> 00:15:56,240
Dede Tate. The place is... It's nice.
175
00:15:57,830 --> 00:16:01,460
You must be Fred. All set?
176
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:04,920
Dr Grierson likes to meet
the children by themselves.
177
00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:09,510
Feel free to wander around.
The interview should take a while.
178
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:15,770
It's OK, Fred. I'll meet you right
back down here when you get out.
179
00:16:15,970 --> 00:16:18,770
All right? OK?
180
00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:45,670
We wouldn't want him to come down with
some ear infection and miss the test.
181
00:16:46,510 --> 00:16:51,930
I'm sorry. I realise at some schools letters
of recommendation carry influence...
182
00:16:52,060 --> 00:16:56,650
...but here it's really test performance
that determines admission.
183
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,480
Did Garth give you
a copy of our pretest diet?
184
00:17:00,610 --> 00:17:03,110
Well, you have to make sure
he stays on that diet.
185
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,280
We'll see you in two weeks.
186
00:17:07,370 --> 00:17:09,660
Hello, Fred.
187
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:14,040
I'm Jane Grierson.
Do you know why you're here?
188
00:17:16,460 --> 00:17:18,420
How do you feel about it?
189
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:21,050
I'm hot.
190
00:17:29,060 --> 00:17:31,350
Dominum. Domino.
191
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,940
Now, Fred. What's wrong in this picture?
192
00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:52,210
This?
193
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,680
- This?
- I wake up in his paintings sometimes.
194
00:18:05,060 --> 00:18:07,140
Van Gogh.
195
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,210
I wonder why he only
painted one iris white.
196
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:31,840
Because he was lonely.
197
00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:37,470
Let's look at May.
198
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,690
I like Sunflowers best.
199
00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:54,370
I understand you're quite a pianist.
200
00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:31,200
Check!
201
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:10,080
That was lovely.
202
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Thank you very much.
I really enjoyed that.
203
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,590
Hey, Fred. I gotta go to work. Come on.
204
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,930
Ms Tate. I'm Jane Grierson.
205
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:24,260
Please, come in. Sit down.
206
00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:35,110
- Your son is very talented.
- Yeah, I know.
207
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:43,450
Every year, I take five students
to compete in "Odyssey of the Mind".
208
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:47,410
It's a kind of mental Olympics, if you will.
209
00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:49,830
They're going to Disney World.
210
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,510
That's not the first thing
I would have told you, but it's true.
211
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:58,470
We stop many places along the way,
including my ranch in Virginia.
212
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,270
I like to pack as much learning
experience into the three weeks as I can.
213
00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:08,060
Yeah, well, I gotta go. Gettin' late.
214
00:21:11,730 --> 00:21:13,900
Ms Tate. Ms Tate, please.
215
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,160
I didn't make myself clear.
216
00:21:17,370 --> 00:21:19,740
I'm inviting your son to come with us.
217
00:21:19,870 --> 00:21:24,540
If he enjoys himself, he'll be free
to enrol in my school in the fall.
218
00:21:25,710 --> 00:21:29,670
Wait a minute. Um...
I don't even know you.
219
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:35,390
Why would I let you take my kid on some
trip, let alone enrol him anywhere, huh?
220
00:21:37,060 --> 00:21:38,720
I see.
221
00:21:38,850 --> 00:21:42,190
Well, in this case,
I'm sorry I wasted your time.
222
00:21:42,810 --> 00:21:44,770
Goodbye, Fred.
223
00:21:44,980 --> 00:21:49,070
You may keep this calendar
since I won't be seeing you again.
224
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,320
That way, you can look at
Sunflowers any time you want.
225
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,420
Come on, kid.
226
00:22:21,820 --> 00:22:24,190
Jesus, Fred!
What do you think you're doin'?
227
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,280
- I was just...
- You were just gonna walk into the street!
228
00:22:28,490 --> 00:22:31,490
You know better than that.
You always look first.
229
00:22:39,340 --> 00:22:44,550
Who can tell me how many of
these numbers are divisible by two?
230
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,060
Anybody?
231
00:22:51,850 --> 00:22:54,980
- Fred!
- Hm?
232
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:01,530
I know that you can tell me how many
of these numbers are divisible by two.
233
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:04,660
Um... All of 'em.
234
00:23:10,830 --> 00:23:12,790
Hey, check it out.
235
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,630
I thought we could make
our own invitations, huh?
236
00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:19,670
- Invitations for what?
- For your birthday party.
237
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,510
Why don't we just go to McDonald's
like we did last year? That was fun.
238
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,900
Oh, yeah? Fun for whom?
You threw up all over me, remember?
239
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:33,860
I had to burn my favourite shirt
cos of you. Stinky!
240
00:23:34,690 --> 00:23:39,200
- The mail's here.
- Let's see if your chain letter paid off.
241
00:23:39,410 --> 00:23:42,540
What have you got?
The phone bill, gas bill, water bill.
242
00:23:42,620 --> 00:23:44,620
- Throw this one away.
- How come?
243
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:48,040
We left 'em a deposit.
They can just take it out of that.
244
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:50,750
Fair enough.
245
00:23:53,460 --> 00:23:56,300
So, what do you want
for your birthday this year?
246
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:58,470
- Nothing.
- Nothing?
247
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,350
Oops.
248
00:24:00,470 --> 00:24:05,270
How about one of those Lego things?
Hey, what's the matter with the toaster?
249
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,650
Nothing. I was fixing it.
250
00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:10,480
Fixing means to repair
something that is broken.
251
00:24:10,570 --> 00:24:14,240
Not to break something
that works just fine the way it is.
252
00:24:19,870 --> 00:24:25,590
We'll get some hot dogs. Ice cream and
cake. Pin the tail on the donkey, huh?
253
00:24:29,550 --> 00:24:32,680
It's next Saturday
at 12 o'clock at my apartment.
254
00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:42,190
Give me that. Hey!
255
00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:44,360
- Come on, guys!
256
00:24:57,830 --> 00:25:03,750
Many gifted children go through
some period of existential depression.
257
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,300
Pain of the mind can often
be worse than pain of the body.
258
00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:11,180
There is some ground for belief
that genius is touched with madness.
259
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,480
No! Dede! Dede! Dede!
260
00:25:17,020 --> 00:25:19,940
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Ssh.
261
00:25:21,610 --> 00:25:23,360
It's OK.
262
00:25:23,490 --> 00:25:25,780
Did you wake up in another painting?
263
00:25:28,370 --> 00:25:31,500
- Cortin.
- Cortin, huh?
264
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:33,910
Hm.
265
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:36,710
I don't really know his work. Cortin?
266
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:40,670
It's a secretion
that comes from some gland.
267
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,380
I forget which one.
268
00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:46,640
It can turn a little kid into an old man,
Dede.
269
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,520
Oh, yeah? You don't seem
to be secreting anything now.
270
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,110
I tell you what, though.
271
00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:58,320
Tomorrow, after your birthday...
272
00:25:58,530 --> 00:26:01,320
...we'll go to the library
and we'll look it up, OK?
273
00:26:01,530 --> 00:26:04,160
What about work?
274
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,870
Don't worry about work.
275
00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:10,830
All right? Try and get some sleep.
You ain't been sleepin' enough lately.
276
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,250
- I can't.
- You can't, huh?
277
00:26:15,210 --> 00:26:18,840
- You wanna do shadows?
- OK.
278
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,300
All right, we'll do shadows here.
279
00:26:22,510 --> 00:26:24,390
All right.
280
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,310
Mm. How about that one right up there?
281
00:26:27,390 --> 00:26:29,900
It's kinda pointy, see that one?
282
00:26:30,860 --> 00:26:33,440
A man and a boy in a clipper ship.
283
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,830
Yeah. How about that one next to it
with the little round circle on the side?
284
00:26:43,660 --> 00:26:47,420
Let's try the other side now.
See right there in the corner?
285
00:26:47,540 --> 00:26:49,840
Kind of round things all on the side?
286
00:26:50,250 --> 00:26:52,760
Got three little points. What's that?
287
00:26:54,220 --> 00:26:56,930
I don't want a birthday party, Dede.
288
00:26:58,390 --> 00:27:03,270
Course you do.
Every little kid wants a birthday party.
289
00:27:51,030 --> 00:27:55,000
- Hello.
- Uh... Jane Grierson, please.
290
00:27:55,210 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaking.
291
00:27:57,210 --> 00:28:00,330
Hi. This is Dede Tate. I'm Fred's mom.
292
00:28:01,250 --> 00:28:03,250
Yes.
293
00:28:03,460 --> 00:28:05,130
Yeah. I was just, uh...
294
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:08,470
I was wonderin', you know
that trip you were talking about?
295
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,970
Yes. What about it?
296
00:28:11,060 --> 00:28:13,770
Well, it's just for a couple of weeks, right?
297
00:28:13,890 --> 00:28:17,730
Ms Tate, I'm sorry
but I've already selected my students.
298
00:28:18,270 --> 00:28:23,070
Look, um... I don't know how much you
know about Fred, but the kid is amazing.
299
00:28:23,150 --> 00:28:25,990
He writes, he paints, he does everything.
300
00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:30,790
You should see this painting
he made for me. It's like, incredible, so...
301
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:36,080
Just a minute here. Why are you
suddenly changing your mind? Hm?
302
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,840
Excuse me?
303
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,550
I don't mean to pry but, um...
304
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:49,230
...do you need time alone or have you
made plans that don't include your son?
305
00:28:49,350 --> 00:28:54,020
Look, lady. You wanna make me
work for it, that's fine, OK?
306
00:28:54,150 --> 00:28:57,070
But we both know that
Fred's a hundred times smarter...
307
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,570
...than the plateheads
you got at that school.
308
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:02,070
Now, you want him or not?
309
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,330
Does he have a suitcase?
310
00:29:38,580 --> 00:29:43,250
Of course, every parent would like
to think of their child as gifted.
311
00:29:43,370 --> 00:29:45,330
Yldidnelps!
312
00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:47,750
- Stop it.
- Tipots!
313
00:29:48,590 --> 00:29:51,300
Jane, he's talking backwards again.
314
00:29:53,050 --> 00:29:56,510
I got some kinda hellacious
booger hangin' out of my nose?
315
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,220
What are you staring at?
316
00:29:59,310 --> 00:30:01,310
You're the mathemagician.
317
00:30:01,390 --> 00:30:05,560
Want an autograph? Go scrounge a pen,
I'll sign your forehead.
318
00:30:06,810 --> 00:30:09,860
Hey, Damon.
How about a game of magic digit?
319
00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:12,450
Check out this magic digit, Garth.
320
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,660
Now, Damon. You're being hostile.
We agreed that you would work on that.
321
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,420
Scusez-moi, Janey-poo.
I've been working on a problem all day.
322
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:24,340
I haven't slept in a week
cos of that frog nightmare.
323
00:30:24,460 --> 00:30:27,590
And I'm hungry.
I get pissed off when I'm hungry.
324
00:30:29,470 --> 00:30:31,970
Here. Have a fig newton.
325
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,050
Well, it's official, Garth.
You've misnavigated and now we're lost.
326
00:31:07,850 --> 00:31:12,310
Sir, uh... perhaps you would take
a few moments and show the children...
327
00:31:12,430 --> 00:31:14,810
...how an internal
combustion engine works.
328
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:29,330
It's said that the genius
learns without study...
329
00:31:29,540 --> 00:31:31,910
...and knows without learning.
330
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,540
That he is eloquent without preparation...
331
00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:40,050
...exact without calculation
and profound without reflection.
332
00:31:40,170 --> 00:31:43,590
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...
333
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:49,020
...it is a great pleasure to welcome you all
to the 13th annual "Odyssey of the Mind".
334
00:31:57,490 --> 00:32:01,530
Now, you have been
captured by Polyphemus...
335
00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:07,370
...and you have 60 seconds
to write or draw graffiti...
336
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:10,290
...pertaining to your situation. Go!
337
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,690
Oh, little boy. Don't touch that.
338
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,490
We're ready for opening remarks.
339
00:32:45,670 --> 00:32:50,670
...it doesn't mean I can waltz on private
property and make myself at home.
340
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,760
Now, our crybaby defence may like to
turn this into an issue on homelessness...
341
00:32:55,890 --> 00:32:58,890
...but we can't forget the law,
and the law states...
342
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:05,900
...book three, paragraph 5350875, that
what Goldilocks did was against the law.
343
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,450
Well.
344
00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:21,000
It's certainly much quieter out here,
isn't it?
345
00:33:21,210 --> 00:33:23,630
Do you mind if I sit down?
346
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:36,850
Fred?
347
00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:48,660
This is beautiful.
Why don't we go show the others?
348
00:33:53,330 --> 00:33:55,750
Nobody's gonna laugh at you.
349
00:33:57,420 --> 00:33:59,590
I'm not gonna let them.
350
00:34:09,390 --> 00:34:12,940
All right, let's begin
with another round of questions.
351
00:34:14,730 --> 00:34:18,150
How many minutes are there in 48 years?
352
00:34:18,270 --> 00:34:21,490
25,228,800 minutes.
353
00:34:29,950 --> 00:34:32,250
How many factors are there of 3,067?
354
00:34:33,790 --> 00:34:35,460
Come on, guys!
355
00:34:35,590 --> 00:34:39,420
There are no factors of 3,067!
The number's prime.
356
00:34:39,630 --> 00:34:42,970
Yeah. Another correct answer
from Damon Wells.
357
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,770
Somebody, for God's sake, challenge me!
358
00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:50,190
OK.
359
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,070
How about giving me a number that,
when divided by the product of its digits...
360
00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:59,860
...the quotient is three, and if
you were to add 18 to this number...
361
00:34:59,990 --> 00:35:01,950
...the digits would be inverted?
362
00:35:12,590 --> 00:35:14,880
24.
363
00:35:19,390 --> 00:35:24,890
- You said 24.
- No, I didn't. I mean, I would have, but...
364
00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:41,370
Open your mouth like that again,
I'll put my foot in it.
365
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:45,250
- It was an accident!
- I don't give a damn. Don't do it again.
366
00:35:45,330 --> 00:35:48,460
Damon! Damon, what are you doing?
367
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,880
Fred and I were having a little chat.
368
00:35:50,970 --> 00:35:53,590
I wouldn't call ripping
his hair out "chatting".
369
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,390
I was rollin' till the little quark stepped in.
370
00:35:56,510 --> 00:36:00,140
Damon, now contrary
to what you might think...
371
00:36:00,270 --> 00:36:03,270
...this is not Caesars Palace
and you are not Wayne Newton.
372
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:08,900
And you're not Freud, so why don't you
just give it a rest. Get a life, will ya?
373
00:36:09,030 --> 00:36:13,830
Hey, don't cry, lepton. You can do
the math tomorrow. I was bored anyway.
374
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,080
Shotgun!
375
00:36:22,670 --> 00:36:25,510
Fred. Fred, are you all right?
376
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:29,470
Why is he so mean to you?
377
00:36:42,820 --> 00:36:48,240
Fred, what's the cube root of 3,796,466?
378
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,250
156.
379
00:36:51,370 --> 00:36:53,330
- Correct.
380
00:36:55,830 --> 00:36:58,670
What number has
the following peculiarity?
381
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,880
That if its cube were added
to five times its square...
382
00:37:02,090 --> 00:37:07,010
...and from the result 42 times
the number and 40 is subtracted...
383
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,180
...the remainder is nothing.
384
00:37:27,540 --> 00:37:30,460
- The telescope moves all by itself.
- Yeah?
385
00:37:30,670 --> 00:37:33,090
Just like the earth does.
386
00:37:33,790 --> 00:37:36,000
- And you know what else?
- What?
387
00:37:36,210 --> 00:37:41,220
- On Friday, we're going to Jane's ranch.
- It sounds like you're having lots of fun.
388
00:37:42,470 --> 00:37:45,680
Miss you, though. Miss you big.
389
00:37:46,430 --> 00:37:48,520
- Me too.
- Go back to sleep.
390
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,230
- OK. Night, Dede.
- Good night.
391
00:37:55,490 --> 00:37:57,780
What are you looking at, lepton?
392
00:38:05,410 --> 00:38:06,960
Jane!
393
00:38:07,170 --> 00:38:09,170
All right, now who has a song?
394
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:16,050
When I was a girl, we used to sing
Liebesliederwalzer on our car trips. Hm?
395
00:38:16,260 --> 00:38:18,220
"Nein, es ist nicht. "
396
00:38:18,430 --> 00:38:21,480
auszukommen mit den Leuten
397
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,480
auszukommen mit den Leuten
398
00:38:34,410 --> 00:38:37,620
auszukommen mit den Leuten
399
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,760
My great-great-grandparents built
this house after the Civil War.
400
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,010
Now, who can tell me
what style of architecture this is?
401
00:38:52,220 --> 00:38:54,850
Is this Shaker or neoclassical?
402
00:39:26,010 --> 00:39:29,350
Edward Soloman joins "Live Wire"
tomorrow to answer that...
403
00:39:29,470 --> 00:39:34,980
...and to talk about his current best seller
"Family of One: Today's Career Woman".
404
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,060
I just wanted to put this back.
405
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,910
Tell me, Fred. Why won't your mother
let you take any more tests?
406
00:39:50,750 --> 00:39:56,170
That's wrong of her. You must tell her that
your intelligence is nothing to hide from.
407
00:40:03,050 --> 00:40:05,550
- Are these your parents?
- Mm-hm.
408
00:40:07,010 --> 00:40:10,430
- This is your father?
- Mm-hm.
409
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,520
Yes.
410
00:40:13,350 --> 00:40:15,980
Yes, he was a terrific music-lover.
411
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,820
In fact, when I was your age
I used to play the violin.
412
00:40:22,740 --> 00:40:25,240
How come you don't play now?
413
00:40:25,370 --> 00:40:30,460
Well, we decided that I would be
happier pursuing my academic career.
414
00:40:32,460 --> 00:40:34,750
How come you're not
in any of these pictures?
415
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,670
Oh, I'm sure I'm in some of them.
416
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,260
No, you're not.
417
00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:44,020
Well.
418
00:40:49,650 --> 00:40:52,900
Both my parents were very busy people.
419
00:40:52,980 --> 00:40:55,400
They were both physicians.
420
00:40:55,610 --> 00:40:59,870
They both lectured a lot, travelled a lot.
421
00:40:59,990 --> 00:41:02,790
Sometimes they just needed to be alone.
422
00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:08,000
If they travelled a lot, they were alone.
423
00:41:09,790 --> 00:41:11,880
Mm-hm.
424
00:41:12,590 --> 00:41:15,090
Well... it's time for bed.
425
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,770
Good night, Fred.
426
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,860
Bleuh!
427
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:17,460
Damon?
428
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:28,300
- What are you doing?
- I'm waxing my Buick.
429
00:42:28,430 --> 00:42:32,890
- What the hell does it look like I'm doing?
- What are you so mad at?
430
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:37,060
I noticed you and Jane are getting
to be as close as a couple of fingers.
431
00:42:37,270 --> 00:42:42,490
I bet back in the slum you got friends
up the ying-yang. Am I right or am I right?
432
00:42:42,610 --> 00:42:46,160
No. I don't have any friends at home.
433
00:42:46,990 --> 00:42:48,450
Oh.
434
00:42:48,540 --> 00:42:52,710
Well, then boohoo, Fred.
I'm all busted up inside.
435
00:42:54,790 --> 00:42:57,000
What about you?
436
00:42:57,090 --> 00:42:59,170
Come on. Wake up and face north, twink.
437
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:01,880
I'm an asshole.
Assholes don't have friends.
438
00:43:02,010 --> 00:43:04,390
But then, I don't really care.
439
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,390
- You don't?
- The reasonable man adapts to the world.
440
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,440
The unreasonable man expects
the world to adapt to him.
441
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,230
Therefore all progress is made
by unreasonable men.
442
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,150
- Jane say that?
- It was George Bernard Shaw.
443
00:43:20,570 --> 00:43:23,160
- Like to ride horses?
- I dunno how.
444
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:26,700
Well, then, today's your lucky day.
445
00:43:33,710 --> 00:43:38,180
When I was a kid, the guy'd grab me
by the neck and shake me and say...
446
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:41,850
..."So, shithead, you think
you're smarter than your old man?"
447
00:43:42,260 --> 00:43:44,230
Well, were you?
448
00:43:45,190 --> 00:43:47,350
I'm smarter than everybody...
449
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,440
...except Jane.
450
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,320
I dunno. Guys like me...
451
00:43:53,530 --> 00:43:56,320
...and maybe you, we're different.
452
00:43:56,450 --> 00:43:58,620
I mean, I hate to admit it, but...
453
00:43:58,740 --> 00:44:01,950
...without Jane I'd be just
another creep in a cape.
454
00:44:03,620 --> 00:44:07,920
The only drag is listening to her give
those same stupid lectures over and over.
455
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,970
- If it weren't for the game, I'd go crazy.
- The game?
456
00:44:12,590 --> 00:44:17,810
Yeah. Sometimes, instead of listening
to her, I just count the words she says.
457
00:44:19,060 --> 00:44:23,980
Actually, I count everything.
Buildings. Dance steps.
458
00:44:24,190 --> 00:44:26,980
Airspace. Trees.
459
00:44:28,570 --> 00:44:30,530
Wow.
460
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:55,270
See, Fred. It's not the size
of a guy's IQ that matters.
461
00:44:56,810 --> 00:44:58,690
It's how he uses it.
462
00:44:59,650 --> 00:45:02,440
I like you, Damon.
463
00:45:02,650 --> 00:45:04,740
Come on. I'll race you back.
464
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,280
Damon?
465
00:45:45,330 --> 00:45:46,450
Damon!
466
00:45:50,330 --> 00:45:53,130
Damon, how many fingers?
467
00:45:54,790 --> 00:45:58,340
- Orange.
- You'll be fine.
468
00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:27,330
Here's your jacket. Bye-bye, Fred.
I hope I see you soon.
469
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,760
Fred.
470
00:46:41,850 --> 00:46:43,810
Let me take these, OK?
471
00:46:48,610 --> 00:46:51,730
Let's go.
I'm gonna make your favourite dinner.
472
00:46:51,940 --> 00:46:53,950
French toast and fried apples.
473
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,920
Hey, ta-da!
474
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,970
Money's been kinda tight lately, but...
475
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:17,810
...l'll think of somethin'.
Don't worry about it, OK, kid?
476
00:47:25,650 --> 00:47:29,700
You didn't paint the right number
of keys on here, lepton.
477
00:47:30,450 --> 00:47:33,870
I ran outta paint. What'd you just call me?
478
00:47:35,330 --> 00:47:37,960
- Lepton.
- What the hell's that?
479
00:47:38,870 --> 00:47:42,960
- You wouldn't understand.
- Whoa, wait a minute. Speak slowly then.
480
00:47:43,170 --> 00:47:44,710
OK.
481
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,680
- A lepton is a Z particle.
- So?
482
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,600
Do you know what
protons and electrons are?
483
00:47:52,140 --> 00:47:53,470
Yeah.
484
00:47:53,810 --> 00:47:56,600
OK. What are they?
485
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,490
They're those, uh... those teeny,
tiny things that atoms are made out of.
486
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:07,990
Well, leptons are even smaller.
487
00:48:11,950 --> 00:48:16,130
- So have you looked for a new job yet?
488
00:48:21,210 --> 00:48:23,300
- Hello.
- Hello, is Derf there?
489
00:48:23,430 --> 00:48:27,390
- Derf? You got the wrong number.
- Wait! That's Bob Yee.
490
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,640
- Hi, Bob. What are you doin'?
- Guess what?
491
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:36,020
- I got that job at TRW this morning.
- Really? Wow.
492
00:48:36,230 --> 00:48:38,230
So what are you doin', huh?
493
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,740
Uh, nothing. Just sitting around.
494
00:48:40,950 --> 00:48:44,160
Do you think Damon'll be OK?
For a second, I thought he was dead.
495
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,700
I thought he was dead, too,
but Jane says it's just a concussion.
496
00:48:47,910 --> 00:48:49,910
Jane knows CPR.
497
00:48:51,870 --> 00:48:53,960
She did? I didn't know that?
498
00:48:54,090 --> 00:48:56,880
She told me she was
gonna teach me sometime.
499
00:48:57,090 --> 00:49:00,340
Did you know Jane speaks
five different languages?
500
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,440
"Clipper Ships" by Matt Montini.
501
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,070
"Me and my dad make
models of clipper ships."
502
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,860
"I like clipper ships
because they are fast."
503
00:49:16,070 --> 00:49:18,490
"Clipper ships sail the ocean."
504
00:49:18,700 --> 00:49:21,280
"Clipper ships never sail
on rivers or lakes."
505
00:49:21,490 --> 00:49:25,250
"Clipper ships have lots of sails
and are made out of wood."
506
00:49:29,540 --> 00:49:31,920
OK. Who's next?
507
00:49:37,050 --> 00:49:39,640
I want to write a book about Fred...
508
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,140
...about his formative experiences.
509
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,230
His life story, if you will.
510
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,190
Well... Gonna be a short book.
511
00:49:50,820 --> 00:49:55,070
Ms Tate, over the years, I've met
many math and music prodigies...
512
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,250
...but never one with
Fred's kind of intuition...
513
00:49:59,370 --> 00:50:02,080
...his, uh...
514
00:50:02,170 --> 00:50:06,040
...his kind of, um, sensitivity.
515
00:50:07,170 --> 00:50:11,130
This summer, I've been asked
to teach a class at Fieldhurst...
516
00:50:11,340 --> 00:50:14,600
...and I'd like to use that time
to really observe Fred.
517
00:50:15,310 --> 00:50:19,810
He would take a class and, in return,
I would waive his tuition at the Institute...
518
00:50:20,020 --> 00:50:23,560
...for as long as he attends.
519
00:50:25,530 --> 00:50:27,530
Wait. Wait a minute.
520
00:50:29,070 --> 00:50:32,620
- You wanna take Fred to college?
- Just for the summer.
521
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,410
Why can't you just wait and,
like, observe him in the fall?
522
00:50:37,830 --> 00:50:41,170
I wouldn't have time.
I'd be busy running the Institute.
523
00:50:41,290 --> 00:50:43,880
Well. As it happens, we already got plans.
524
00:50:44,710 --> 00:50:48,680
Me and a friend got good jobs dancing
at this hotel in Orlando for the summer.
525
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,140
The place is really nice.
It's got a big pool and everything.
526
00:50:53,390 --> 00:50:57,020
- A pool?
- Yeah, so that's that.
527
00:50:57,230 --> 00:50:59,860
Ms Tate, Fred is not a leper.
528
00:50:59,940 --> 00:51:03,690
Intelligence is not a disease
that you have to protect him from.
529
00:51:03,900 --> 00:51:06,740
He's blessed, but he's certainly not alone.
530
00:51:06,820 --> 00:51:09,030
There are many gifted children out there.
531
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,830
Yeah? How many of 'em
are blessed with ulcers, huh?
532
00:51:14,670 --> 00:51:19,670
How many of them go to bed worrying
about the ozone layer, the rain forest...
533
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,430
...and why innocent people
get murdered all the time?
534
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,560
Fred worries about everything.
He can't help himself.
535
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,390
You wanna send him to college. Jesus.
536
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,020
You hear about kids
ten years older than him...
537
00:51:33,230 --> 00:51:36,020
...jumping outta windows
on account of the pressure.
538
00:51:36,230 --> 00:51:40,530
Let's not get hysterical. We're talking
about one class for one summer.
539
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,660
I told you. We already made plans.
540
00:51:44,370 --> 00:51:46,790
What I'm trying to tell you is that...
541
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,540
...your son is starving for stimulation and
challenge, and for some order in his life.
542
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:55,080
Things that you don't provide
but that I will.
543
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:00,210
I know that to deny a child's potential
is to smother his true self.
544
00:52:00,420 --> 00:52:02,800
Fred doesn't give a shit
about his potential.
545
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,720
He just wants to be a normal,
happy little kid.
546
00:52:06,130 --> 00:52:10,850
Well, he's not normal, thank God,
and he's certainly not happy.
547
00:52:11,260 --> 00:52:13,220
And you underestimate him greatly...
548
00:52:13,350 --> 00:52:17,520
...if you think that a summer by the pool
will ever be enough for him.
549
00:52:17,730 --> 00:52:20,230
Fred wants to go to college.
550
00:52:20,310 --> 00:52:23,020
Don't take my word for it. Ask him.
551
00:52:41,290 --> 00:52:44,500
Hey. What are you doin'?
552
00:52:44,630 --> 00:52:47,130
Your r�sum�.
553
00:52:50,050 --> 00:52:52,140
Oh.
554
00:52:53,590 --> 00:52:57,430
So, I understand that you and Jane
made some plans, huh?
555
00:53:00,770 --> 00:53:05,150
So, were you just gonna sneak off
to college without saying anything?
556
00:53:07,150 --> 00:53:09,860
Fred, do you wanna go to college?
557
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,700
You know, Jane says you do.
558
00:53:17,580 --> 00:53:20,370
It sure sounds great to me.
559
00:53:20,490 --> 00:53:23,290
Sounds like a great opportunity.
560
00:53:24,670 --> 00:53:27,670
I mean, you hang round here
for too long and you might, uh...
561
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,210
...you might smother
your potential or somethin'.
562
00:53:31,340 --> 00:53:34,050
I'd sure feel real lousy if that happened.
563
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,390
Course, you know you're
gonna have to live with her.
564
00:53:41,770 --> 00:53:45,810
Which means you'd also miss out
on a real summer vacation.
565
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,690
Hey.
566
00:53:51,150 --> 00:53:53,940
You wanna go to college
or you wanna go to Disney World?
567
00:53:54,070 --> 00:53:58,320
I've already been to Disney World.
I went with Jane, remember?
568
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,970
You look crabby.
569
00:54:19,180 --> 00:54:21,050
I'm not crabby.
570
00:54:21,260 --> 00:54:23,680
I'm pensive.
571
00:54:39,110 --> 00:54:43,070
This'll take a couple of minutes,
so why don't you just go park the car?
572
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,240
- Hi, Jane.
- Wait, wait.
573
00:54:45,450 --> 00:54:48,990
Just a minute, Fred. OK, now!
574
00:54:49,330 --> 00:54:51,290
- Hi, Jane.
- Hi, Fred.
575
00:54:55,460 --> 00:54:57,460
Wow.
576
00:55:31,740 --> 00:55:36,040
- You need a belt, kid.
- No, I don't. I just need to tuck in my shirt.
577
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,460
You need a belt.
578
00:55:39,580 --> 00:55:45,420
Hey, how about if we just say
"See ya tomorrow" instead of "goodbye"?
579
00:55:46,050 --> 00:55:49,470
If you send me the chequebook,
I'll balance it for you.
580
00:55:50,430 --> 00:55:52,800
I think I can take care of that, Freddie.
581
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,890
Who's gonna water the plants?
582
00:55:57,100 --> 00:56:01,060
Hey, forget about the plants, OK?
583
00:56:01,270 --> 00:56:03,440
Forget about the chequebook.
584
00:56:03,570 --> 00:56:06,070
You're gonna have a great time.
585
00:56:08,150 --> 00:56:10,740
So are you.
586
00:56:10,860 --> 00:56:13,780
Every day that I know you, I...
587
00:56:14,830 --> 00:56:18,250
I admire you a little bit more every day.
588
00:56:18,370 --> 00:56:21,170
Every day I say to myself...
589
00:56:21,290 --> 00:56:25,250
...this little kid is exactly
the kind of person I wanna be.
590
00:56:26,380 --> 00:56:28,590
I mean, let's face it.
591
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,130
You're the best thing
that ever happened to me.
592
00:56:33,260 --> 00:56:35,970
So don't worry so much. OK?
593
00:56:47,860 --> 00:56:50,480
Hey, love you big.
594
00:56:50,690 --> 00:56:52,650
Go get your bag.
595
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,540
Dede, I know this must be difficult for you.
596
00:57:02,660 --> 00:57:05,160
You might wanna keep
an extra telephone around.
597
00:57:05,370 --> 00:57:08,920
- Excuse me?
- He likes to take 'em apart, you know.
598
00:57:09,250 --> 00:57:12,670
Sometimes, uh... sometimes...
599
00:57:13,710 --> 00:57:16,340
I understand.
600
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,180
Listen to me, Jane.
601
00:57:20,390 --> 00:57:24,470
If anything happens to him,
anything at all...
602
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,980
...l'll kill you.
603
00:57:27,190 --> 00:57:29,690
Now, I don't mean that I'll just hurt you.
604
00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:32,480
I mean that I'll kill you.
605
00:57:37,900 --> 00:57:43,740
Hey. Give you a call from Orlando, OK?
Hear all about your first day.
606
00:57:45,540 --> 00:57:47,080
Bye, sweetie.
607
00:57:47,290 --> 00:57:49,290
Hands on noses, guys.
608
00:57:55,420 --> 00:57:57,010
See you tomorrow.
609
00:57:57,630 --> 00:57:59,590
See you tomorrow.
610
00:58:17,650 --> 00:58:22,110
Now, Fred.
These chores are your responsibilities.
611
00:58:22,650 --> 00:58:25,240
And for every week
that you do them correctly...
612
00:58:25,370 --> 00:58:30,870
...we'll do something fun like go to the
symphony, or rent a nice documentary.
613
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
These are soup bowls. These are not.
614
00:58:34,210 --> 00:58:37,960
These are my glasses
and these are your glasses.
615
00:58:38,090 --> 00:58:40,590
These are your pens and your pencils.
616
00:58:40,670 --> 00:58:45,260
And, Fred,
these are my pens and my pencils.
617
00:58:50,390 --> 00:58:52,350
It's not your mother's fault.
618
00:58:52,470 --> 00:58:56,310
Most parents are ignorant
to the benefits of macrobiotics.
619
00:58:58,810 --> 00:59:01,520
If your mother had put you
on a diet like this sooner...
620
00:59:01,650 --> 00:59:04,150
...you might never have gotten an ulcer.
621
00:59:05,820 --> 00:59:09,030
- Can I have a Coke?
- Absolutely not.
622
00:59:29,260 --> 00:59:32,800
- Sorry.
- That's all right.
623
00:59:34,390 --> 00:59:37,390
Everything that comes
from the body is natural.
624
00:59:38,980 --> 00:59:42,940
- Now can I have a Coke?
- In the fridge.
625
01:00:07,540 --> 01:00:12,220
Fred, I'll meet you outside
on the steps right after class.
626
01:00:12,420 --> 01:00:14,430
- All right?
- Mm.
627
01:00:16,510 --> 01:00:18,470
Good luck.
628
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,870
Come on. Let's sit you down in the front.
629
01:00:40,370 --> 01:00:43,080
Would you mind sitting over there,
please?
630
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,510
All right.
Let's all calm down and shut up...
631
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,630
...so we can start getting
Dad's money's worth.
632
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,970
Now, for those of you who may be lost...
633
01:01:03,010 --> 01:01:06,230
...the name of this class is Phys 105.
634
01:01:06,350 --> 01:01:10,940
Quantum physics. Not physical education.
635
01:01:21,030 --> 01:01:23,950
All right. Everybody in the right place?
636
01:01:25,410 --> 01:01:27,500
Goddamn college kids.
637
01:01:27,620 --> 01:01:28,750
Morning.
638
01:01:28,870 --> 01:01:33,540
Used to be young people respected other
people's property. You could trust 'em.
639
01:01:33,750 --> 01:01:37,920
Now, they come down here
on vacation and they trash the place.
640
01:01:38,050 --> 01:01:41,380
What do they care?
It's not their house. Damn brats.
641
01:01:42,010 --> 01:01:46,600
Then on top of that I got five
undercover ABC guys circulating.
642
01:01:46,810 --> 01:01:49,600
- The network?
- Alcoholic Beverage Control, Gina.
643
01:01:49,730 --> 01:01:53,480
Half my clientele on this
particular evening is underage.
644
01:01:54,190 --> 01:01:56,270
How am I supposed to know this?
645
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:01,190
Anyway...
my liquor licence is now toilet paper.
646
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,950
Wait a second.
You sayin' you're not gonna do the show?
647
01:02:05,030 --> 01:02:07,950
Don't tell me we came
all the way down here for nothin'.
648
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,040
Oh, boy.
649
01:02:10,790 --> 01:02:12,870
You two got any waitressing experience?
650
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,000
- Come on!
- Don't dive in the shallow end!
651
01:02:16,420 --> 01:02:19,540
- At least they got water in the pool.
- I could murder you.
652
01:02:19,630 --> 01:02:22,960
- He said it's temporary.
- He said his lawyers were working on it.
653
01:02:23,090 --> 01:02:25,050
We can still make a vacation of it.
654
01:02:25,170 --> 01:02:27,550
When life gives you lemons,
you make lemonade.
655
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,100
Hey, this ain't lemons, Gina.
This is dog shit.
656
01:02:31,220 --> 01:02:35,270
I mean, if I wanted to wait tables,
I coulda stayed in the city.
657
01:02:44,150 --> 01:02:46,240
Did you lose your mommy, sweetie?
658
01:02:49,780 --> 01:02:52,580
Yo, kid! A little help with the Frisbee, huh?
659
01:02:56,540 --> 01:02:59,250
- Whoa! Watch it, kid.
- Sorry.
660
01:03:06,460 --> 01:03:09,800
I have 50. Now, come on, people.
Do I hear 60?
661
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:19,390
- Come on, people. This is for charity.
- 70.
662
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,650
All right, I have 70. Do I hear 80?
663
01:03:23,850 --> 01:03:27,110
I said 1,000, you racist frat-head.
664
01:03:28,150 --> 01:03:30,110
Come on, mister. This is for charity.
665
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,240
What charity's that?
The Inter-Geek Recreation Center?
666
01:03:33,450 --> 01:03:36,910
That should change a few lives.
Get outta my face, you jughead.
667
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,120
Hey, wait a minute.
668
01:03:44,420 --> 01:03:46,580
Heads!
669
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,680
Excuse me, fellas.
670
01:04:05,350 --> 01:04:08,270
- Eddie, you killed him.
- I wasn't even aimin' for him.
671
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,320
- Besides, what's a kid doin' out here?
- He's not a kid!
672
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,690
Get away from him.
673
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,450
Oh, God. Not again.
674
01:04:17,650 --> 01:04:20,160
Fred! Fred?
675
01:04:20,910 --> 01:04:22,990
Oh, Fred.
676
01:04:24,950 --> 01:04:28,080
- This is called a sphygmomanometer.
- It is?
677
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,670
- Hello.
- Hey, Jane. Let me talk to Fred.
678
01:04:38,090 --> 01:04:40,720
Dede. How are you?
679
01:04:40,930 --> 01:04:43,300
Just peachy. Now where's Fred, huh?
680
01:04:44,260 --> 01:04:46,140
- How many fingers?
- Two.
681
01:04:46,220 --> 01:04:49,140
- He can't talk right now.
- How come?
682
01:04:49,270 --> 01:04:52,900
- He's taking a nap.
- So wake him up.
683
01:04:53,110 --> 01:04:56,650
- I wanna hear about his first day.
- He's very tired, Dede.
684
01:04:56,860 --> 01:04:59,780
Cut the shit, Jane.
Put the kid on the goddamn phone.
685
01:05:01,860 --> 01:05:03,870
Here he is.
686
01:05:05,950 --> 01:05:10,620
Now, Fred. You don't wanna get
your mother all upset over nothing. Hm?
687
01:05:11,250 --> 01:05:12,710
OK.
688
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:14,920
Hi, Dede.
689
01:05:15,130 --> 01:05:19,510
Jane was late picking me up
and I got hit on the head with a globe.
690
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,090
How's Florida?
691
01:05:25,430 --> 01:05:27,430
Bicycle! Ohh!
692
01:05:32,100 --> 01:05:37,310
The spin angular momentum
of the beta particle of one half...
693
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:44,200
...must be balanced by
a particle having a spin angular...
694
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,850
He's studying real hard.
695
01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:28,200
He must be all of ten.
696
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:32,280
Yo, Muffy! What the hell you lookin' at?
Get outta here, you punk.
697
01:06:33,330 --> 01:06:36,120
Hey, how's your head?
698
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,120
Remember me?
699
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,120
I'm the guy that took
your lights out the other day.
700
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,250
Well, look. I brought you a present.
701
01:06:45,710 --> 01:06:50,090
Ta-da! Remember this? It's got a little
blood on it, right there on El Salvador.
702
01:06:50,300 --> 01:06:52,380
I think that's pretty cool.
703
01:06:52,510 --> 01:06:55,010
- It's for you. I brought it for you.
- Thanks.
704
01:06:55,100 --> 01:06:58,220
You're welcome. My name's Eddie.
705
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,930
- Fred.
- Nice to meet you, Fred.
706
01:07:01,060 --> 01:07:04,270
- What's your major?
- What's my major?
707
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,610
Damn! Who you been hanging out with?
708
01:07:07,730 --> 01:07:10,230
Jane. What's your major?
709
01:07:11,150 --> 01:07:14,700
Well, let's see.
Russian Lit. Afro-Am. Poly Sci.
710
01:07:15,030 --> 01:07:17,320
French. Swahili. Ooglie booglie.
711
01:07:17,530 --> 01:07:22,540
Toilet trainin'. Eatin' dirt. Nose-pickin'.
One of those. I dunno.
712
01:07:22,950 --> 01:07:26,080
- So who's Jane? That your girlfriend?
- The lady I live with.
713
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,380
Say, what are you doing this afternoon?
714
01:07:32,340 --> 01:07:34,720
Just bringing in the mail.
715
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,710
Ooo-wee! That was swingin'!
Was that swingin' or what?
716
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,800
We're gonna go on the road together.
717
01:08:16,010 --> 01:08:19,130
But I can't play the classical stuff.
You have to handle that.
718
01:08:19,260 --> 01:08:22,390
You know what the funniest thing
about Mozart was? His hair.
719
01:08:22,590 --> 01:08:25,300
I'd say to Mozart
"That's the ugliest hairdo I've seen".
720
01:08:25,390 --> 01:08:28,930
I think Mozart should have a big Afro
or a Mohawk, or a something.
721
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Swing along!
722
01:08:38,110 --> 01:08:40,110
Yeah, man.
723
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,290
Swing it.
724
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:08,550
Well?
725
01:09:09,510 --> 01:09:11,680
Looks good.
726
01:09:13,140 --> 01:09:15,440
It's funny, Garth.
727
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:19,730
I'm experiencing a whole
new side of me I've never felt before.
728
01:09:20,570 --> 01:09:22,860
It's just a meat loaf, Jane.
729
01:09:23,070 --> 01:09:26,820
No. To me, it's a lot more than a meat loaf.
It's a milestone.
730
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:29,950
I mean...
731
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:34,200
...who would have thought
that I'd ever cook anything?
732
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,870
Maybe you're turning over a new loaf.
733
01:09:39,540 --> 01:09:42,750
- What do I do about Live Wire?
- Do we have to discuss that now?
734
01:09:43,090 --> 01:09:45,800
If Buckner wants to do
an hour on gifted children...
735
01:09:46,090 --> 01:09:49,340
What does Winston Buckner know
about gifted children?
736
01:09:49,430 --> 01:09:53,600
Why doesn't he do a talk show on
petulant talk show hosts instead?
737
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,270
Oh! I've gotta make the salad.
738
01:09:57,770 --> 01:10:01,310
That's why he needs you.
And he wants to bring Fred on, too.
739
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:03,610
You could bring
a few examples of his work.
740
01:10:03,810 --> 01:10:06,320
He'd like that.
741
01:10:07,070 --> 01:10:08,940
What time is it?
742
01:10:09,780 --> 01:10:11,950
The object of the game
is to bank the ball...
743
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,080
...so that you hit the other one
right where the shadow is.
744
01:10:17,910 --> 01:10:20,500
You wanna try to hit the ball nice and low.
745
01:10:20,620 --> 01:10:23,130
That way you get a lot of backspin on it.
746
01:10:24,380 --> 01:10:26,540
Pow!
747
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:28,840
- Like that.
- Hey, Eddie.
748
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:33,130
- Hey, where the hell y'all been?
- Anna fainted in the parking lot.
749
01:10:33,340 --> 01:10:36,890
Say, everybody. This is my son Fred.
750
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:39,680
- Fred!
- How ya doin', Fred?
751
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:43,020
Hey, kid.
What are you doin' with the world?
752
01:10:43,350 --> 01:10:45,940
It was a present.
753
01:11:01,580 --> 01:11:05,040
Never mind, Officer. He's back.
Yes, just now. Thank you.
754
01:11:05,250 --> 01:11:07,620
- Fred!
- Sorry I'm late.
755
01:11:07,830 --> 01:11:09,830
Fred, where have you been?
756
01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:14,630
Fred, you smell like a brewery!
757
01:11:15,670 --> 01:11:18,050
And have you been smoking?
758
01:11:18,180 --> 01:11:21,720
I was in a pool hall.
I'm learning how to play pool!
759
01:11:22,220 --> 01:11:24,720
- Good game.
- Shut up, Garth.
760
01:11:25,770 --> 01:11:27,980
Do you know what time it is?
761
01:11:28,890 --> 01:11:30,480
7.03.
762
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,060
Do you remember what time
I asked you to be home?
763
01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:35,480
5.00.
764
01:11:35,570 --> 01:11:40,160
Fred, if I tell you to be home at five
o'clock, you're to be home at five o'clock.
765
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,570
Not six o'clock. Not seven o'clock.
766
01:11:42,660 --> 01:11:46,330
Not 7.01, not 7.02 and certainly not 7.03.
767
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,460
I can't eat this.
768
01:11:49,540 --> 01:11:51,750
No, of course you can't. It's cold.
769
01:11:52,790 --> 01:11:55,790
No. My stomach.
770
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,010
Oh, my God, that's right.
771
01:11:58,210 --> 01:12:03,010
Now, Fred. Let's not whine. There must
be something for you to eat around here.
772
01:12:03,220 --> 01:12:05,810
- I could go pick something up.
- It's OK.
773
01:12:06,010 --> 01:12:08,220
I already ate.
774
01:12:08,930 --> 01:12:12,060
What? You ate without me?
775
01:12:13,020 --> 01:12:15,310
We could have dessert.
776
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,610
No. We cannot.
777
01:12:18,860 --> 01:12:23,320
A rule has been broken.
We don't reward that kind of behaviour.
778
01:12:23,450 --> 01:12:26,240
Now, Fred,
I'm sure if we thought about it...
779
01:12:26,450 --> 01:12:30,200
...we'd decide that pool halls
are no place for someone your age.
780
01:12:31,580 --> 01:12:35,120
If you want to play something,
come and talk to me.
781
01:12:35,620 --> 01:12:40,000
And, Fred, when I scold you,
it doesn't mean I don't care about you.
782
01:12:40,130 --> 01:12:43,340
It only means I'm trying
to correct your mistakes.
783
01:12:45,550 --> 01:12:48,260
Now, how about a nice game of Scrabble?
784
01:12:49,300 --> 01:12:51,600
And... go.
785
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,560
Done.
786
01:12:59,310 --> 01:13:01,480
- Isn't this fun?
787
01:13:01,610 --> 01:13:03,690
Damn it.
788
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,660
- Fred.
- I'll go get you another phone.
789
01:13:10,780 --> 01:13:12,870
Fred.
790
01:13:15,250 --> 01:13:18,920
- Hello?
- Hey! What's up, huh?
791
01:13:19,750 --> 01:13:23,790
- Nothing. What's up with you?
- I'm gettin' a tan.
792
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,670
Oh.
793
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,720
Actually, it's more of a burn.
794
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,720
- So?
- So?
795
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,100
So, listen.
796
01:13:36,220 --> 01:13:39,230
What are you doin' next weekend, huh?
797
01:13:39,350 --> 01:13:40,890
Huh?
798
01:13:41,020 --> 01:13:43,520
Come on, it's 4th July.
What are you doin'?
799
01:13:43,730 --> 01:13:47,150
- How about a barbecue on the beach?
- I'm gonna be on TV.
800
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,490
Let me speak to her.
801
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,240
Hi, Dede. It's Jane.
802
01:13:56,330 --> 01:14:02,080
We were gonna call you. Fred and I have
been invited to appear on "Live Wire".
803
01:14:02,710 --> 01:14:04,870
Isn't that exciting?
804
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:06,670
Uh-huh.
805
01:14:06,750 --> 01:14:11,760
I thought, if it's OK with you, we'd stay
overnight to see the fireworks in the park.
806
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,090
Yeah, sure.
Freddie'd love that. He would.
807
01:14:15,300 --> 01:14:17,390
Great. Don't forget to watch.
808
01:14:17,510 --> 01:14:20,850
It's Saturday at 12.30. Here's Fred.
809
01:14:21,060 --> 01:14:24,680
Don't talk too long.
It's costing your mother a fortune.
810
01:14:25,310 --> 01:14:26,980
Hi.
811
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,900
Hey. Everything's good, huh?
812
01:14:30,110 --> 01:14:32,110
Everything's perfect.
813
01:14:33,990 --> 01:14:37,410
- I'm learning how to play pool.
- Pool?
814
01:14:37,740 --> 01:14:40,240
Yeah. My friend Eddie's teaching me.
815
01:14:40,660 --> 01:14:42,620
Wow. Eddie.
816
01:14:44,830 --> 01:14:47,330
Don't put down too many bets, OK, kiddo?
817
01:14:49,210 --> 01:14:53,460
Look, I gotta go.
Jane's giving me this test.
818
01:14:54,420 --> 01:14:57,010
Yeah, OK. I tell you what. Um...
819
01:14:57,130 --> 01:14:59,840
I'll call ya in a couple of days, OK?
820
01:15:00,340 --> 01:15:02,140
OK. Bye.
821
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,380
- Oh, man, what time is it?
- Too early for visitors.
822
01:15:43,090 --> 01:15:45,300
Uh, Dave. Where's he goin'?
823
01:15:51,770 --> 01:15:55,520
- Hey, girl.
- Sorry. I didn't mean that.
824
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,690
- Hi, Eddie.
- Fred!
825
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,780
- Fred, what are you doin' here?
- You said we could...
826
01:16:02,610 --> 01:16:04,780
Oh, Fred. Would you get outta here?
827
01:16:04,990 --> 01:16:07,200
Go on, get outta here. Damn.
828
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:13,750
Very nice, fellas!
829
01:16:13,870 --> 01:16:15,410
Very nice.
830
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:20,630
Fred!
831
01:16:24,300 --> 01:16:26,260
Come on, Fred. Wait up, man.
832
01:16:29,590 --> 01:16:33,350
Fred, wait up. Freddie. Wait up, Freddie.
833
01:16:33,470 --> 01:16:35,640
Freddie, Freddie. Wait up, man.
834
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:42,020
Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you, but
you can't walk in on people like that, man.
835
01:16:42,650 --> 01:16:44,820
You said we were gonna play pool.
836
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:48,780
- I did?
- You said so.
837
01:16:48,990 --> 01:16:51,490
People say that stuff
to each other all the time.
838
01:16:51,620 --> 01:16:55,030
That don't really mean that they mean it,
you know?
839
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:56,910
Look.
840
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,250
You're a kid and I'm a grown-up.
841
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,460
I love doing stuff with you, but I can't
do stuff with all day every day...
842
01:17:05,590 --> 01:17:08,800
...cos I gotta do stuff with other grown-ups.
843
01:17:10,050 --> 01:17:14,140
What I'm tryin' to say is that
we can't hang out together all the time.
844
01:17:14,340 --> 01:17:16,640
I'm not your babysitter, Freddie.
845
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,600
I just can't take that kinda responsibility.
846
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,350
But, hey... it's no big deal, is it?
847
01:18:31,170 --> 01:18:33,590
Hi.
848
01:18:34,210 --> 01:18:35,960
Hi.
849
01:18:54,940 --> 01:18:56,610
Oh, Fred.
850
01:18:56,820 --> 01:19:00,990
What was the name of that computer
that you raced in Dr Ellis's class?
851
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,450
- Mike.
- Mike. That's it.
852
01:19:11,830 --> 01:19:15,920
Fred, it's two o'clock in the morning.
What are you doing up so late?
853
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,630
I had a bad dream.
854
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,760
Oh.
855
01:19:21,970 --> 01:19:25,180
Well, why don't you get a drink of water?
856
01:19:26,550 --> 01:19:28,930
What for?
857
01:19:30,510 --> 01:19:32,890
Don't you want a drink of water?
858
01:19:33,020 --> 01:19:35,600
I'm not thirsty.
859
01:19:37,610 --> 01:19:43,940
Well, why don't you leave the light on,
or turn on the radio? Something.
860
01:19:44,070 --> 01:19:47,610
It's really late
and we've got a big day tomorrow.
861
01:20:19,310 --> 01:20:22,520
Uh... I can't hear you.
Hey, is that you, Fred?
862
01:20:22,730 --> 01:20:25,570
How you doin'?
Are you missin' a good party down here.
863
01:20:25,770 --> 01:20:29,320
- Is Dede there?
- Whoo! We're celebrating 4th July early.
864
01:20:29,530 --> 01:20:34,410
Me and Valerie woke up and everyone
was in the pool. Bottle rockets!
865
01:20:34,530 --> 01:20:36,490
Fenton, will you just tell...
866
01:20:56,850 --> 01:20:58,930
A man waving goodbye.
867
01:21:00,810 --> 01:21:02,770
Two cats fighting.
868
01:21:04,770 --> 01:21:06,730
A capsized boat.
869
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,610
A dead body.
870
01:22:02,950 --> 01:22:07,120
Well, we can stop on the way
to the city and get something to eat.
871
01:22:10,540 --> 01:22:12,830
Where's your tie?
872
01:22:24,300 --> 01:22:26,720
- I need a belt, Jane.
- Hm?
873
01:22:26,810 --> 01:22:29,520
- I need a belt.
- Oh.
874
01:22:30,480 --> 01:22:33,400
Just tuck in your shirt, you'll be fine.
875
01:22:35,350 --> 01:22:38,900
It seems to me you had
a midterm the other day.
876
01:22:39,020 --> 01:22:41,940
- How do you think you did?
- Fine.
877
01:22:42,150 --> 01:22:44,530
I'm sure you did splendidly.
878
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,910
You think you can tell me
Beaton's refraction formula for the sun?
879
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,040
Mr Buckner might ask you that.
880
01:22:54,870 --> 01:22:57,670
Energy plus parallax equals...
881
01:22:57,790 --> 01:23:00,710
How come you always
ask me about school?
882
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,170
Hm?
883
01:23:02,260 --> 01:23:05,800
How come you always talk
like you're reading a book?
884
01:23:06,340 --> 01:23:09,140
How come nobody ever comes over?
885
01:23:10,180 --> 01:23:13,720
And... how come you don't
have any kids of your own?
886
01:23:15,310 --> 01:23:17,690
What's wrong with you?
887
01:23:24,900 --> 01:23:26,650
Now, remember, sweetface...
888
01:23:26,860 --> 01:23:30,820
...zillions of people all over the world
are gonna be watching you.
889
01:23:30,950 --> 01:23:34,580
And that means no farting,
no pickin' your nose...
890
01:23:34,790 --> 01:23:37,410
...and no playing with little Mr Peabody.
891
01:23:37,620 --> 01:23:40,210
Close your eyes.
892
01:23:44,380 --> 01:23:46,380
Knock it off, Evan.
893
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:49,380
Fred?
894
01:23:50,220 --> 01:23:52,850
You look very handsome.
895
01:23:58,140 --> 01:24:00,230
Is she your mom or what?
896
01:24:03,690 --> 01:24:06,070
She's my...
897
01:24:06,270 --> 01:24:08,570
I dunno.
898
01:24:08,690 --> 01:24:11,200
I'll go see if they're ready for you.
899
01:24:14,410 --> 01:24:16,700
Do you like old pinball machines?
900
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,410
I dunno.
901
01:24:19,620 --> 01:24:23,370
We have one in the basement.
You can come play with me.
902
01:24:48,730 --> 01:24:50,690
- Marco!
- Polo!
903
01:24:51,940 --> 01:24:54,030
Hey, you guys! Keep it down!
904
01:25:00,070 --> 01:25:02,910
Welcome to "Live Wire".
I'm Winston F Buckner.
905
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:07,500
Today we're gonna be asking
the question "Is your child gifted?"
906
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:12,380
With me here to answer that
are two distinguished academics...
907
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,510
...and several bright kids...
908
01:25:15,630 --> 01:25:19,180
...from the best schools around
the country. Welcome, everybody.
909
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:26,480
Now, children, do you read books
or watch television like normal kids?
910
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:31,900
I'm working on experiments involving
lasers, sulphuric acid and butterflies.
911
01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:34,900
I'm designing a summerhouse
for my parents.
912
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,570
- I bring in the mail.
- You bring in the mail?
913
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,150
God, you look like hell, kid.
914
01:25:42,530 --> 01:25:45,950
Well... Fred, we do many things together.
915
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:49,410
We go to museums, we go to the opera.
916
01:25:50,540 --> 01:25:53,250
He writes letters to his Romanian pen pal.
917
01:25:54,420 --> 01:25:56,800
These books are fake.
918
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,090
Fred, as I understand it,
you're a poet, a painter, a musician...
919
01:26:01,170 --> 01:26:03,180
...and what I guess one could call a...
920
01:26:03,380 --> 01:26:05,970
- Marco!
- Polo.
921
01:26:06,180 --> 01:26:10,270
Now, with all that under that
tiny little belt of yours...
922
01:26:10,350 --> 01:26:12,560
...what would you like
to be when you grow up?
923
01:26:12,980 --> 01:26:14,940
- A fireman.
- A fireman.
924
01:26:15,150 --> 01:26:20,570
That's a pretty normal profession
for such a... how shall I put it...
925
01:26:20,690 --> 01:26:23,490
...an unusual boy like yourself.
926
01:26:23,900 --> 01:26:27,990
When I was a boy, our mothers all
wanted us to grow up to be doctors.
927
01:26:28,070 --> 01:26:30,370
My mother's dead.
928
01:26:30,580 --> 01:26:33,700
l, uh... I'm very sorry to hear that.
929
01:26:33,830 --> 01:26:37,460
Well, enough small talk, Fred.
What shall we do for our audience?
930
01:26:37,790 --> 01:26:43,090
I thought maybe you could play the piano
for us and do a few quick calculations?
931
01:26:43,210 --> 01:26:45,510
- No.
- No?
932
01:26:46,340 --> 01:26:48,640
- Mr Buckner...
- I'd like to recite a poem.
933
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:55,100
Ah, a poem by Fred Tate when
we come back, right after this.
934
01:27:04,070 --> 01:27:05,610
Hey!
935
01:27:05,820 --> 01:27:08,030
Hey, you guys!
936
01:27:11,570 --> 01:27:13,950
"Clipper Ships" by Fred Tate.
937
01:27:14,370 --> 01:27:15,740
Go get your mother!
938
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,870
"Me and my dad make
models of clipper ships."
939
01:27:23,670 --> 01:27:25,960
"Clipper ships sail on the ocean."
940
01:27:26,050 --> 01:27:28,960
"Clipper ships never sail
on rivers or lakes."
941
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,350
"I like clipper ships
because they are fast."
942
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,980
Fenton!
943
01:27:54,110 --> 01:27:57,660
"Clipper ships have lots of sails
and are made of wood. "
944
01:28:07,340 --> 01:28:10,250
- Stand by. We'll be back in 30 seconds.
- Oh, Fred.
945
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,060
Yes. Is Dede Tate there, please?
946
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,440
Where is she? Gone where?
947
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,900
Nice to meet you, too, Fenton.
948
01:29:16,690 --> 01:29:19,900
Which flight is she on?
Fenton? Which flight?
949
01:29:23,990 --> 01:29:25,950
She's on her way.
950
01:29:31,580 --> 01:29:33,790
Oh, what have I done?
951
01:30:24,050 --> 01:30:26,420
Hi, kid.
952
01:30:26,550 --> 01:30:28,510
Come here.
953
01:30:31,850 --> 01:30:34,260
I figured you'd be here.
954
01:30:34,890 --> 01:30:36,770
Sorry.
955
01:30:36,980 --> 01:30:40,940
Sorry for what?
You didn't do anything. Shh.
956
01:30:41,150 --> 01:30:44,480
- I missed you.
- I missed you, too.
957
01:30:45,730 --> 01:30:47,900
I missed my dance partner.
958
01:30:49,070 --> 01:30:51,360
Jane's mad at me.
959
01:30:51,570 --> 01:30:54,370
No. She ain't mad at you.
960
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,080
She was just worried, that's all.
961
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:01,790
We're all gonna work it out, you'll see.
962
01:31:01,870 --> 01:31:04,790
From now on,
I'm gonna take care of everything.
963
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,090
You. Me.
964
01:31:08,130 --> 01:31:10,420
Even Jane, OK?
965
01:31:13,050 --> 01:31:15,220
Listen, Freddie.
966
01:31:16,390 --> 01:31:20,640
The day you were born, first minute
I saw you, you know what I said?
967
01:31:22,020 --> 01:31:24,310
I said "This kid's special."
968
01:31:25,860 --> 01:31:29,940
"This kid's gonna be different
and I'm not gonna blow it."
969
01:31:30,650 --> 01:31:32,650
But, um...
970
01:31:32,860 --> 01:31:34,820
...sometimes, uh...
971
01:31:35,990 --> 01:31:40,990
Sometimes I don't know what I'm doin'.
Sometimes I just wing it.
972
01:31:42,660 --> 01:31:44,620
I figure that...
973
01:31:46,420 --> 01:31:49,960
I figure... I love this kid so much...
974
01:31:51,210 --> 01:31:53,380
...it's gonna be OK.
975
01:31:54,550 --> 01:31:56,840
And it will.
976
01:31:57,880 --> 01:31:59,970
You'll see.
977
01:32:13,730 --> 01:32:16,110
I love you, Mom.
978
01:32:17,070 --> 01:32:19,450
I love you too, kiddo.
979
01:32:38,970 --> 01:32:43,430
Hi, I'm sorry I'm late, but the cake
took me longer than I thought to make.
980
01:32:54,450 --> 01:33:00,250
- Happy birthday!
- Well, that pretty much sums up my life story.
981
01:33:00,860 --> 01:33:02,820
Come here, birthday boy!
982
01:33:03,860 --> 01:33:06,780
And incredible as it sounds,
when I turned eight...
983
01:33:06,910 --> 01:33:09,290
...I had the best birthday party ever.
984
01:33:10,450 --> 01:33:12,410
At least, that's the way I remember it.
985
01:33:12,540 --> 01:33:15,330
- Happy birthday, Fred.
- Ooh, look at that!
986
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,050
Even Jane had a good time.
987
01:33:21,380 --> 01:33:23,260
- Thanks, Jane.
- You're welcome.
988
01:33:23,380 --> 01:33:25,970
- Care to cut the rug with me?
- N-no, thank you.
989
01:33:27,010 --> 01:33:29,430
Come on, dance with the kid, Jane.
990
01:33:37,230 --> 01:33:39,730
Nobody seemed to worry about anything.
991
01:33:46,610 --> 01:33:48,700
- Hey, yanks. Wanna play a game?
- Yeah.
992
01:33:48,820 --> 01:33:51,530
You two hold your breath until I say stop.
993
01:33:52,870 --> 01:33:54,870
Ha-ha ha ha-ha!
994
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,460
I once got this fortune cookie that said...
995
01:33:57,580 --> 01:34:02,170
..."Only when all who surround you
are different will you truly belong."
996
01:34:02,380 --> 01:34:05,090
- Thanks for the dance, Fred.
- Hey, it's a party.
997
01:34:05,170 --> 01:34:07,380
Gotta wear your party hat, Jane.
998
01:34:07,590 --> 01:34:10,390
Well, we were all different, that's for sure.
999
01:34:13,220 --> 01:34:15,390
I'd see Jane every day at the Institute.
1000
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:19,770
And once in a while, Dede'd let her
take us out to fancy restaurants.
1001
01:34:19,890 --> 01:34:21,770
Sometimes we even had fun.
1002
01:34:21,850 --> 01:34:23,940
- Ready?
1003
01:34:24,980 --> 01:34:27,900
For a while, I was the most
