All language subtitles for Good Morning Miss Bliss s01e08 The Boy Who Cried Rat

Zach, what are you doing?

Studying.

Something must be putting something in
the food.

Hey, everybody.

Zach's studying.

Zach, are you okay?

He feels normal.

I feel normal, too.

But you're not.

Come on. Haven't you ever seen me study
before?

No.

Look, I'm desperate.

My dad said he'd take me skiing if I get
a good grade on the history midterm.

How good a grade?

I just have to get a B.

A B?

I think it would be easier if you just
got another dad.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

It's all right, because I'm saved by
the... It's all right, because I'm saved

the... It's all right, because I'm saved
by the...

Midterms are a lot of hard work for all
of us. But

while most students study hard for the
big test, there's always one who's

looking for the easy way out.

Three guesses who it is this year.

Okay, let's talk about midterms.

You know, in Sweden, they have a
completely different system. They give

grade, usually a B, before the midterm.
It takes the pressure off the student

and leaves his brain free to learn.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Could it be possible that none of you
have heard of the bliss challenge of the

eighth grade stars?

Yeah. And the best part of it is the
members of the winning team will receive

this.

That's it.

A T -shirt?

Ah, not just any old T -shirt, Lita, but
a magical T -shirt. And what kind

of powers does it have?

Well, anyone wearing this shirt will
disappear from class on Friday and

magically reappear in Cosmos for pizza.

Wow!

Teleportation! I can't wait for the
bliss challenge.

Screech, the bliss challenge for you
would be not getting any pizza on your

shirt.

Attention.

Attention, everyone.

I am pleased to announce that our Miss
Bliss has been chosen as a finalist for

School Days Magazine's Teacher of the
Year Award.

Thank you.

Wow, that is quite an honor.

Isn't it wonderful?

I am so excited.

You're excited? I thought I was the
nominee.

Well, sure, it's good for you, too.

Just think of all the recognition you'll
gain for our school.

I think it's a little early to start
writing my acceptance speech.

Relax, you are a shoo -in.

As your principal, I'll be at the
banquet with you, and this will give you

great chance to thank those few special
people who've helped you along the way.

That's right.

My parents?

Mm -hmm.

Mr. Lyman, my eighth grade teacher.

And, uh, that's about it.

Aren't you forgetting someone?

Of course.

My students.

You can't be a teacher without students.

Anyone else?

No. No?

I'm joking.

How could I forget Milo?

See you later, guys.

Oh, hi, Jack.

Is something wrong?

All right, all right. If you've got to
know, I'll tell you.

I've got to postpone the midterm so I
can study and get a B.

You can't postpone a midterm. Okay,
fine, take their side.

The one time I need you, the last time
you said that to me, I ended up on a bus

wearing nothing but my boxer shorts.

You see, I have done things for you.

All right, what do you need? Your rats.

Ben and Morty?

Two rats get loose at school, they close
the school, they postpone the test, I

go scheme.

No way. I'm not taking any part in this.

Did I mention you and me going out with
the Zeffirelli twins?

The Zeffirelli twins?

Count me in.

All right. Which twin do I get?

Which one is she?

The one on the left.

Is that Carrie Blith, Indiana's Teacher
of the Year?

Kind of gives you the chills, doesn't
it? Oh, Mr. Belding, I haven't won yet.

They still have to interview me and
observe my teaching.

Hey, when they see your challenge of the
eighth grade stars, you'll be a cinch

to win.

Just the thing you need to beat that
Macmillan guy.

Joseph Macmillan of Glen Ridge?

Oh, he's a great teacher.

They wrote a book about him.

Oh, big deal. One book. If it was so
good, why didn't they make a movie out

it? Oh, come on, Mr. Belding.

It's an honor just to be a finalist with
him. You believe that?

Listen, when you're in a contest, you're
in it for one reason. To win.

Nobody remembers who came in second in
the javelin throw at the 84 Olympics.

David Hartley of Great Britain.

Hey, Screech, did you set the rats free?
First thing this morning.

He's very emotional.

You know, the empty nest syndrome.

You guys are never going to believe
this. I was in the girls' room putting

makeup when I looked over and saw this
big rat sharing my lipstick.

That spin. He's having an identity
crisis.

Well, I hope you reported it.

I would have, but he ate the evidence.

All right.

Who took a honk out of my Twinkie?

Hmm, looks like a rat bite to me.

That's Marty.

He's going to have a zit in the morning.

Come on, let's go tell Mr. Belden.

Hey, good idea. I'll go find Milo.

This is going great.

Now we've got to get the ball rolling.

Oh, Miss Palladino.

Yes, Zach?

You know, I'm... I'm very impressed with
you.

Oh, thank you, Zach.

You know, not everybody can keep their
cool with all these rats running around.

Oh, come on, Zach. You know how these
rumors get started at school.

Rumors?

Has that rat been in here?

See, I've been tracking that little
joker all the way from the gym.

Now, which way did he go?

See, I know the rat mind, baby.

Uh -huh.

First to the gym for a little exercise,
then to the cafeteria for lunch, and now

he's going to go to the music room to
relax and digest.

And you're going to catch him and set
him free?

Well, close.

I'm going to catch him and set him dead.

My baby!

Carrie Bliss, this is Dr. Atwater from
School Days magazine.

Oh, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you,
too.

Where are your students?

Oh, this is my free period.

Good. Could we secure the door just to
ensure our privacy?

Of course. We can secure the doors, the
windows, the lights, anything you want.

Could you just please do it?

Certainly. Thank you.

Question number one has to do with the
principal -teacher relationship.

Oh, Mr. Belding and I work hand in hand.

That's right. We have a very close
relationship.

We're like this.

Well, I don't mean like this. I'm a
happily married man.

If you had a gifted student, would you
ever consider skipping them a grade?

Of course you wouldn't.

Yes, I would.

Of course you would.

Dr. Atwater, I feel that holding back a
gifted child can be damaging to his

sense of self -worth.

Mr. Belding, we have to talk.

Not now, Milo.

Then when? I don't know, in about an
hour? We don't have an hour.

All right, what is it, Milo?

I mean, how may I help you, Mr.
Williams?

Excuse us for a moment, Dr. Atwater.

Rats?

Milo, I just can't believe my school is
infested with rats. Then don't. But it

is. I bet McMillan over at Glen Ridge
bred those little suckers in his biology

lab and sent them here.

He didn't do that.

I mean, no one in the educational system
would go that far to win an award.

I would.

Well, it's just that I want Miss Bliss
to win this award so much.

Milo, we just can't shut down the
school.

Well, look it, my hands are tied, okay?

Now, either Shorty Beamer's crew comes
in and cleans it out now, or we'll be

front page news when the health
department finds out. Okay, okay.

Are you sure we can't just hold off on
this for another couple of days?

See, that's a uh -uh. See, rule 1070
says...

Take no chances with rats.

There's more, but the rest of the page
has been chewed.

Is this thing on?

Attention, students.

Due to a rat infestation, we are forced
to close the school for one week

beginning tomorrow.

Thank you.

Well, Claire, it looks like you get
another week to study for the midterm.

We did it. Everything is great.

For you, maybe.

Found Spin, but I can't find Marty.

Spin was so worried about him that he
stayed up all night pacing on his wheel.

Tears your heart out.

Miss Bliss, I'm afraid Dr. Atwater can't
reschedule her observation of your

class tomorrow.

If only she could have seen your battle
of the eighth grade stars, we would have

won teacher of the year for sure.

I'm really sorry.

Do you have to sit in the middle of the
stairs?

Sorry, Nikki.

Sorry, Nikki?

Zach, are you okay?

Nikki, I did something even I'm ashamed
of.

I'd better sit down for this.

When Miss Bliss doesn't get the Teacher
of the Year Award, I'll be responsible.

Zach, they're not going to hold it
against her that in 11 years of

has won Dweeb.

Only they could have seen her Bliss
Challenge.

Come on, Zach.

You didn't have anything to do with the
closing of the school.

You didn't put the rats in.

I think you're talking to King Rat.

Who put you? Well, I needed more time to
study so I could get a B and go skiing.

And you thought if you'd study more, you
would get a B?

Rat, I am a dweeb.

You've got to tell me the truth.

That would mean I'd have to tell the
truth.

Rat, just do it.

Look, I'll help you study, okay?

Oh, Zach, one more thing.

I don't think I've ever heard you tell
the truth before.

Can I be there?

Hey, I'll pay you money.

Carrie, I just heard about Dr. Atwater
not being able to see your review.

Oh, you must be upset.

No, I'm not upset.

Very upset.

I know how you feel.

When I graduated from college, I
auditioned for a dance program at

I didn't know you went to Juilliard. I
didn't.

When I left Ohio, my parents told me to
break a leg when I hit the Big Apple.

And I did.

The day before the tryout, there was a
big storm in New York, and I slipped on

the ice.

By the time it healed, there were no
openings.

Oh, Tina, I'm so sorry.

Oh, well, I got over it.

Besides, I never really had the right
look for ballet.

My 2 -2 always looked like a 2 -3.

I never thought awards had anything to
do with teaching.

But that was before I came so close to
winning.

I really wanted someone to say, that's
Carrie Bliss.

She's a good teacher.

I really wanted this award.

That's it, Carrie.

Let it out.

I want this award.

Louder! I want this award!

Yes!

There's something I gotta tell you.

Come on. Sit down and relax, Screech.
Won't be that bad. Trust me. I already

did, and that's why I'm here.

I've never been sent to the principal's
office before.

Why isn't he saying anything?

Ah, he's just trying to intimidate us.

It's working.

Boys, you'll be glad to know there is
school tomorrow. Miss Bliss will be able

to show her stuff.

Hey, that's great.

You each have two weeks' detention.

Oh, that's not... But there may be a way
to have your detention time reduced by

a week. Sounds good to me.

I want you and your classmates to help
convince Dr. Atwater that Miss Bliss is

the... greatest teacher in the world.

Well, what can we do?

For starters, don't be yourselves.

I was the 18th president.

Ulysses S. Grant.

Very good.

Oh, man.

And who was the president before me? And
what happened to him that never

happened to any other president during
his term of office?

Andrew Johnson, and he was impeached.
Right.

Oh, right.

Anyway.

Speak softly and carry a big dick.

Who am I?

My father when I come home late.

Wrong. Hey, I'll show the joke.

Then you have three seconds to give me
the correct answer.

Teddy Roosevelt.

Right.

Toss -up question for five points.

The Wright brothers... Or Will and
Wilbur. Right answer, Mikey.

But wrong question.

The Wright brothers completed the first
manned airplane flight at Kitty Hawk.

In what state is Kitty Hawk to be found?

Oh, gee, it's right on the tip of my
tongue.

Come on, Tech, you know the answer. We
went over it yesterday.

Ten seconds.

If you think about it, the Wright
brothers were really the godfathers of

space program. Yes. Three, two... Tech!
North Carolina.

Correct. And just in time.

Why do you do that to me?

Because I can.

All right, class, it's halftime. When we
resume, the

category will be our founding fathers.

Remember, guys, lay it on thick.

Hello again, Dr. Atwater.

Are there always this many kids in your
class?

Usually.

Would you like to take a seat?

All right, class, halftime over. Hands
on bell.

Our founding fathers.

What year did the Pilgrims land at
Plymouth Rock?

Mike, you go first.

Miss Bliss, due to your refreshing
teaching style, as long as I live, I

always remember that the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth Rock in 1620.

That's five points. Brownie points.

Okay, a toss -up. Complete this phrase.

The lost colony of what?

My, you're all so eager all of a sudden.
That's because your teaching makes us

so eager to learn. I mean, after all,
isn't that what teaching is really all

about?

Answer the question, then.

Oh, sure. The lost colony of Roanoke.
Correct.

And...

bonus points, can anyone tell me where
the lost colony is located?

No one knows, Miss Bliss.

That's why it's lost.

We're not learning, we're laughing.

Cut the clowning around, Samuel.

You know, her warmth, her charm, her
effortless command of the class.

I don't know about you, but I've got
goosebumps.

Her teaching methods are very
impressive.

And one other thing.

What's that?

Never touch me again.

Miss Bliss, on behalf of the entire
class, I would just like to say thank

for being the best teacher in the state
of Indiana.

I like to record her

lessons and play them backwards for
hidden messages.

See?

All right, that's it.

Okay.

Dr. Atwater, I'm very sorry, but my
students have a midterm to prepare for,

I need their total concentration, which,
obviously, I'm not getting.

Could you possibly visit us some other
time?

Well, I'm afraid not. Our editors are
meeting tomorrow to make a decision on

winner.

Well, if I don't prepare my students for
their midterm, I don't deserve any

award. You do realize if I leave today,
this will weigh heavily on my decision.

I know.

Thank you for coming.

Good day, Dr. Atwater.

Goodbye, Miss Fliss.

Excellent work, Mikey.

Very nice job, Mikey.

Miss Fliss, why are you doing this to
me?

Because I can.

Congratulations.

Is it possible to take the B now and
save the plus for a rainy day?

Have a nice ski trip, but watch out for
trees.

Even you can't talk your way through one
of those.

Uh, there's something I'd like to say,
but, uh... You're not sure how to say

Right.

Wait up. I want to thank you. It's okay.
You don't have to. But I want to.

Look, Nikki, you've always been a good
friend to me.

And I really appreciate that I can count
on you.

Thanks for helping me study.

Geez, I think you're going to make me
cry.

Hey, I do have a way with women, don't
I?

Yeah, you have a way to make them sick.

Cliff, I have in my hand a telegram from
School Days magazine.

Oh, it's probably just a formality to
all the losers.

Go ahead, open it.

Dear Miss Bliss, seems you have an
unusual approach to teaching, your

dedication...

I won.

All right!

Hey,

gang, it's Zack. Now, today we have a
very special Save by the Bell.

It takes place when we were in junior
high.

Wait till you see how weird Screech and
Lisa look.

How do I look?

Not as funny as them.

Anyway, we had this teacher, Miss Bliss,
and she was always telling me I could

do anything I put my mind to.

So I made this stupid bed.
