1
00:00:02,260 --> 00:00:06,500
Is it A, gastropods, B, marsupials, or
C, planaria?

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,740
Um, don't help me here.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:09,960
I can't.

4
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:14,440
It's A, that thing with gas.

5
00:00:15,260 --> 00:00:16,600
No, it's D, none of the above.

6
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:20,980
But you didn't even say that. I didn't
think it was going to be that.

7
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:24,020
Ask me another question.

8
00:00:24,460 --> 00:00:27,280
True or false, marsupials carry their
young in pouches.

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,680
Oh, that's got to be false. I mean,
where are these animals going to buy

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,670
pouches? And who's going to sell them to
him?

11
00:00:34,290 --> 00:00:37,170
It's true, Ben. It's true, you little
rodent.

12
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:39,710
Carol, you're interrupting.

13
00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:41,150
I can't help it.

14
00:00:41,850 --> 00:00:43,230
Ignorance nauseates me.

15
00:00:43,470 --> 00:00:46,550
If I haven't mentioned it before, let me
mention it now.

16
00:00:46,850 --> 00:00:48,650
You're a real disappointment to me.

17
00:00:49,030 --> 00:00:50,830
Did you come in here just to bug me?

18
00:00:51,490 --> 00:00:52,490
Yes.

19
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:57,410
Don't let it get you down. My whole
family's disappointed me for hanging out

20
00:00:57,410 --> 00:00:58,410
with you.

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,400
Ask me another question. What's the
point? Just ask me, okay?

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,540
Ben, relax. This test only counts for
half our grade.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,500
Stinky, so far the other half of our
grade's a D.

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Right, so the worst we can get is a D -.

25
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:15,320
We're kidding ourselves.

26
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,540
There's no way we're going to pass this
exam.

27
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:20,380
Speak for yourself. I haven't got a
single question wrong.

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,600
Because you've got the book right in
front of you.

29
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:25,340
Ben, Carol says you need my help.

30
00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:26,580
I do not.

31
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:30,380
Look, Mom, the studying is coming along
just fine. In fact, I was just

32
00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:34,360
commenting to Stinky on how much fun
learning is. Well, I hope so, Ben.

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,600
you bring home another D in science,
you'll see a side of me you've never

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,598
before.

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,720
Does it have a pouch?

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,960
See, Mom, we know this stuff so well
that we're already telling jokes in it.

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,580
Stinky just called you a gaseopod.

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Marsupial! Marsupial!

39
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:55,500
Well, at least we know which animal has
a blowhole, don't we, Carol?

40
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,960
I need an easy one.

41
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Okay, was it just me or was Laura Lynn
not wearing a bra today?

42
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,480
That's not going to be on the exam.

43
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:23,940
And she was wearing a bra.

44
00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:25,860
Nope, you got that wrong, too.

45
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:29,180
Yo, guys.

46
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,260
Vito, don't tell me you're already done
studying for tomorrow's exam.

47
00:03:32,660 --> 00:03:35,900
Well, I thought about studying, but then
I decided to just say no.

48
00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:39,720
Then how are you going to pass the test?

49
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:43,160
Well, let's just say I got a relative in
the ditto room.

50
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:45,320
You mean you got the answers to our
test?

51
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,600
Shh! Ben, I'd expect Stinky to say
something stupid like that.

52
00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:50,260
You got the answers to our test?

53
00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:54,700
Do you want to stand here and give this
foolproof plan away, or do you want to

54
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:55,679
share the wealth?

55
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,380
But we could get caught. I can't risk
that. My parents don't like me much as

56
00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:00,380
is.

57
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:04,380
No, no, it's perfect. There's nothing to
get caught with. You just memorize a

58
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:05,500
few letters and you get an A.

59
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:10,930
Wow. So, do you want to A, stay here and
study and fail the test anyways, or B,

60
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:14,930
memorize a few letters and go hang out
at the, uh, leotard shop?

61
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:18,350
Finally, a multiple choice question I
can handle.

62
00:04:18,690 --> 00:04:19,690
All right, yes!

63
00:04:19,910 --> 00:04:20,910
Yeah!

64
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:25,870
See you at the test tomorrow, guys.

65
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:30,430
Mike, what are you doing? I'm playing
some hoops with my friends.

66
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:34,790
Well, pass it here, I'll play. No, no,
no, I don't think that'd be a good idea,

67
00:04:34,850 --> 00:04:38,980
Benny. I've been watching girls try on
leotards for three hours. I gotta

68
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:39,980
exercise.

69
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,620
Mom and Dad are inside waiting for you,
and they are mad.

70
00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:43,980
And me? Why?

71
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,680
Well, I didn't hear much, but it was
something about you were supposed to be

72
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,700
studying, and then you skipped out.

73
00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:52,160
Oh, well, what they don't know is I got
this test covered from top to bottom,

74
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,240
and they don't have a clue.

75
00:04:53,820 --> 00:04:56,320
Oh, you better go explain that to them,
because they think the reason you took

76
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,460
off is because you found some foolproof
way to cheat.

77
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,520
How do they know these things?

78
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:04,780
Well, Betty, I think it's...

79
00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:07,830
I think it's time that you were told mom
and dad are witches.

80
00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:12,250
What? Come on, don't tell me you haven't
suspected it.

81
00:05:12,770 --> 00:05:15,130
Haven't you ever heard those strange
noises coming from their room at night?

82
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:16,450
Sometimes their dad's not even there.

83
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:19,790
Yeah.

84
00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:21,390
Snap out of it, Ben.

85
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:22,670
I'm just kidding.

86
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:25,810
The only reason they know you do this
stuff is because you're a slimy little

87
00:05:25,810 --> 00:05:27,650
kid. It shows, huh?

88
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:31,370
Benny, look, just because they know
every move you're going to make, there's

89
00:05:31,370 --> 00:05:33,770
reason not to go through with this
foolproof plan of yours.

90
00:05:33,970 --> 00:05:34,959
It isn't?

91
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,300
Of course it is. You're a walking dead
man.

92
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,660
I know what I just said, but I like
messing with your mind. One of the joys

93
00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:41,720
have is your older brother.

94
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,280
Okay, all kidding aside, when you go
inside that house, don't panic.

95
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,580
Be very cool and don't crack.

96
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:49,959
Right, right.

97
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,000
All right, you can do it, bro. Thanks a
lot. And don't be thrown by the fact

98
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,160
that they know every thought in your
head before you even think it.

99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Thanks for nothing, Mike.

100
00:05:58,740 --> 00:06:01,080
For your information, I can handle Mom
and Dad.

101
00:06:01,420 --> 00:06:02,720
I will be completely cool.

102
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:03,940
Oh, interesting.

103
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,420
Oh, Deb, I just meant that... The only
thing I want to hear from you, young

104
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,840
is what do you call the mammal that
carries its young in a pouch?

105
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,360
Uh, lucky?

106
00:06:14,860 --> 00:06:16,280
Marsupial! Marsupial!

107
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,000
Carol, you're really starting to tick me
off.

108
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:21,380
Correct me if I'm wrong. You're losing
your cool.

109
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,820
Dad, it never occurred to me to cheat.

110
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:26,440
How do you expect to pass the test if
you don't cheat?

111
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,549
Well, I...

112
00:06:27,550 --> 00:06:31,270
Huh? Yeah, your mom's right. You're
under the gun here, Ben, and since

113
00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:32,870
not studying, cheating's your only hope.

114
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:36,510
So it's okay to cheat? No, it is not
okay to cheat.

115
00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:39,430
Well, but you just said... I know what I
said, Ben.

116
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:42,630
We're messing with your mind. It's one
of the only joys we have as parents.

117
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:48,170
Ben, you've been letting science slide
all semester, and today, the day before

118
00:06:48,170 --> 00:06:50,450
the test, you waste three hours doing
God knows what.

119
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:53,350
My guess is watching women in tight
outfits.

120
00:06:57,740 --> 00:06:58,740
She is a witch.

121
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,320
What'd you call your mother?

122
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Nothing, nothing, nothing. I'm sorry.

123
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,660
All right, well, here's your multiple
choice, Ben. A, you can either stand

124
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,040
keep talking about it, and get yourself
in deeper, or B, you can go up to your

125
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,400
room and study till you drop, or C, you
can pay me a million dollars.

126
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,280
If it goes for the million, I take you
to dinner.

127
00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:27,120
Okay. The main factor in the dinosaur's
extinction was... A, the movement of

128
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,520
glaciers. B, the evolution of mammals.

129
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,540
C, the greenhouse effect.

130
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Or D, no one knows.

131
00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:38,340
Uh... B, the evolution of mammals.

132
00:07:39,260 --> 00:07:43,880
Survey says... D, no one knows.

133
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,060
Well, then what are you asking me for,
like I'm gonna know?

134
00:07:47,860 --> 00:07:51,520
Ben, what are you doing sitting up
studying? You got the answer sheet in

135
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,180
pocket. Doesn't that bed look mighty
comfortable?

136
00:07:55,530 --> 00:07:59,090
I can't cheat until they're on to me.
You're not thinking. You don't have to

137
00:07:59,090 --> 00:08:01,530
them all right. Just make sure you get a
couple wrong.

138
00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:02,990
How do I do that?

139
00:08:03,210 --> 00:08:04,210
Just be yourself.

140
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:09,250
They're witches, Ben. They're witches.

141
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:15,350
Ben, you bring home another D in
science, you'll see a side of me you

142
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:16,350
seen before.

143
00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:23,470
Ben, if I haven't mentioned it before,
let me mention it now.

144
00:08:25,230 --> 00:08:27,770
appointment to me and the other
marsupials.

145
00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:31,390
Come on, Ben, cheat.

146
00:08:32,190 --> 00:08:33,650
Yeah, Ben, cheat.

147
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:36,270
Of course it's not okay to cheat.

148
00:08:37,370 --> 00:08:38,750
Hey, hold up.

149
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:40,390
They're witches, Ben.

150
00:08:40,890 --> 00:08:41,950
What do we do?

151
00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:44,570
Marsupial, marsupial.

152
00:08:45,830 --> 00:08:47,850
And your little dog, too.

153
00:08:52,010 --> 00:08:54,150
And one, and two, and three.

154
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,760
Who are you?

155
00:08:55,820 --> 00:08:58,800
Well, I'm the girl from the leotard shop
you thought would look good in your

156
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,200
room. I never said that out loud.

157
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:05,800
Then, you can A, wrestle with the
ethical dilemma of cheating.

158
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:11,780
B, study the other 260 pages that you
ignored this semester.

159
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,520
Or, C, watch me aerobicize.

160
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:19,780
Is that a D?

161
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,220
It will be if you don't wake up.

162
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Not a woman.

163
00:09:31,140 --> 00:09:32,140
Not for years.

164
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:33,860
You did, Ben?

165
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,420
Um, yeah. I guess I've just been
cramming so hard I'm delirious.

166
00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:40,200
You've been cramming so hard you're
asleep.

167
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,340
I knew it was one of the two.

168
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:45,120
So, uh, can I help you with anything?

169
00:09:45,620 --> 00:09:48,640
Dad, isn't science something you never
even use in real life anyway?

170
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:51,240
Pretty tough question to ask a doctor,
Ben.

171
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Oh, right. Sorry, I keep forgetting what
you do.

172
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,700
Well, let me see if I can help you a
little bit. Maybe I can quiz you, okay?

173
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,740
Let's take a look here.

174
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:06,680
First question is... Is this a cheat
sheet?

175
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:08,900
Uh, false.

176
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,060
Wrong. D, none of the above.

177
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,620
Come on, Ben. We went through all this
downstairs.

178
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,040
I know we did, and I'm not gonna cheat.
Well, then what do you still have this

179
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,280
for? Well, good question. Well, I hope
you got a good answer.

180
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:24,360
Okay, Dad, I was originally gonna cheat,
but...

181
00:10:24,570 --> 00:10:25,830
Only because the other guys were.

182
00:10:26,090 --> 00:10:27,170
Okay, one more time.

183
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:30,950
I don't care if everybody else at that
school cheats, Ben. You don't. Because

184
00:10:30,950 --> 00:10:33,410
cheaters don't win, and they always get
exactly what they deserve.

185
00:10:33,830 --> 00:10:35,490
Yes, sir. Now, come on. Let's go.

186
00:10:36,270 --> 00:10:39,730
Forget that nonsense, Ben. Come on. You
can do it. Study hard. Hit those books.

187
00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:42,170
Let's get the best grade you can. I have
faith in you.

188
00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:03,050
are never gonna believe this. I dreamed
that the girl from the leotard shop

189
00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:06,070
showed up in my room and aerobicized for
me.

190
00:11:06,850 --> 00:11:07,850
You too?

191
00:11:08,610 --> 00:11:11,070
You guys aren't gonna believe the dream
I had.

192
00:11:11,410 --> 00:11:15,810
Girl from the leotard shop aerobicizing
in your room. No, Carol's in this

193
00:11:15,810 --> 00:11:17,970
kangaroo suit hopping all over my bed.

194
00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:23,270
Stinky, you are one sick little dude.
Thanks.

195
00:11:24,330 --> 00:11:25,950
Ben, you look like doggy do.

196
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,260
If I should, I was up till four
studying.

197
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,200
Why would you study till four? You got
the cheat sheet.

198
00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:33,720
I'm not using it, okay?

199
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Why?

200
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:36,820
Let's just say my parents are witches.

201
00:11:38,860 --> 00:11:40,260
Attention, science students.

202
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,720
I have some bad news.

203
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,840
There was a disaster in the ditto room.

204
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:49,580
Your tests have been destroyed.

205
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,160
Just kidding.

206
00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:54,440
I'm messing with your minds.

207
00:11:55,470 --> 00:11:57,050
One of the few joys of being a teacher.

208
00:11:57,750 --> 00:12:03,150
Okay, keep your eyes on your paper. Keep
your arms and legs inside the car and

209
00:12:03,150 --> 00:12:04,190
fasten your seatbelts.

210
00:12:04,510 --> 00:12:06,330
It's going to be a bumpy ride.

211
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:13,170
Which of these four is not a marsupial?

212
00:12:13,710 --> 00:12:15,010
A, kangaroo.

213
00:12:15,510 --> 00:12:17,070
B, wombat.

214
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:19,290
C, opossum.

215
00:12:19,770 --> 00:12:21,410
D, your sister?

216
00:12:22,510 --> 00:12:23,850
Oh, I'm so confused.

217
00:12:36,010 --> 00:12:37,010
Cheaters never win.

218
00:12:37,270 --> 00:12:40,810
Eventually, they're going to get... an
A.

219
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:50,490
Mom, Dad, I think the first thing that
my report card will show you is that I

220
00:12:50,490 --> 00:12:51,490
didn't cheat.

221
00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:54,710
I can do better than that.

222
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:59,050
You know, I don't think my report card
is that important in light of the recent

223
00:12:59,050 --> 00:13:00,230
events in the Soviet Union.

224
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,820
Now, if I mention the Soviet Union,
they're going to bring up my grade in

225
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:05,820
current events.

226
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,400
Okay. Now, the best thing to do is just
not to mention my report card at all.

227
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,940
Just keep it under my hat until I see
which way the wind blows.

228
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:17,580
Yeah, I think you can do that.

229
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,400
Yo, Benny!

230
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:22,760
Hey, Mike, what are you doing here?

231
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:24,180
Having lunch with my friends.

232
00:13:27,180 --> 00:13:28,180
Are Mom and Dad around?

233
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,620
Ah, report card day.

234
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Hey, Benny, I can smell the fear in the
air. Smells like defeat.

235
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,520
Mike, what are you doing here? You moved
out, and you spend more time here than

236
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,520
I do. Get a life.

237
00:13:41,060 --> 00:13:43,960
Benny, Benny, come on, relax. I've been
through this a lot more than you have.

238
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Here, maybe I can help. Nobody can help
you. Look, it's never as bad as it

239
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,160
seems.

240
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,660
You got enough money for a bus ticket
out of town?

241
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,800
It's not that bad. I got an A in health.

242
00:13:54,020 --> 00:13:55,240
Ooh, Benny, that's bad.

243
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,640
Why? Because it shows them that you can
do it if you want to. That makes every

244
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,160
other grade look like a bitter failure.

245
00:14:02,319 --> 00:14:03,319
Failures? What failures?

246
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,520
My lowest grade's a D.

247
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:06,560
Ooh, D is worse than an F.

248
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:07,960
How do you figure?

249
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,260
Well, all right, you got an F.

250
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:13,020
One line on the side makes it an A.

251
00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:15,640
Not a heck of a lot you can do with a D.

252
00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:18,980
Hi, guys.

253
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,220
Smells like report card day.

254
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,740
So, is it you, Mike, or Ben?

255
00:14:25,180 --> 00:14:26,560
Or is it both of you?

256
00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:28,700
Calm down, Carol. It's just me.

257
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,960
Oh, well... As long as you did the best
you could, Mom and Dad won't get too

258
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,960
upset.

259
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:36,840
Carol, go pump your sunshine someplace
else, okay?

260
00:14:37,380 --> 00:14:39,500
I mean, the boy is twisting in the wind
here.

261
00:14:39,820 --> 00:14:46,200
So, how's everybody this fine... Report
card day.

262
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:48,500
I'll get Mom.

263
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,560
Thank you, Carol.

264
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,660
Listen, Ben, I gotta run.

265
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:53,100
You're leaving?

266
00:14:53,140 --> 00:14:55,900
Yeah, well, I don't want any of what's
coming your way to land on me.

267
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,100
upset as long as you do your best, but a
D is not your best, and you know it.

268
00:15:03,220 --> 00:15:06,340
You're starting high school next year,
and it's only gonna get tougher. I hope

269
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:09,960
this two -week grounding is gonna
impress upon you the fact you cannot let

270
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,540
class slide all semester and then
suddenly catch up in one night. That

271
00:15:13,540 --> 00:15:16,800
TV, no hanging out after school with
your friends. You are up in your room

272
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,800
studying.

273
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Perhaps you overlooked my A in health.

274
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,100
That only proves that you can do it if
you want to.

275
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,160
And if you can't pull up that D on your
final report card, you're going to be

276
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,200
doing time in summer school.

277
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,500
Um, you know, I could have gotten an A.

278
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,360
By cheating, Ben? Is that what you're
bringing up now?

279
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,860
Um, no. Come on, Ben. You know what
happens to cheaters.

280
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,680
Yeah, yeah. They never win.

281
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,880
Exactly.

282
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:46,060
Um, is that rule they never win or they
hardly ever win?

283
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,040
Ben, come on. Are you missing this whole
point on purpose?

284
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,520
Forget cheating. We're talking about you
working up to your potential.

285
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,920
Okay, Ben, we won't embarrass you in
front of your little friend. Go tell

286
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520
that your grounding starts right now and
that he has to leave.

287
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,900
Damn, what's with that kid?

288
00:16:08,140 --> 00:16:09,440
Who does he remind you of?

289
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,720
Mike.

290
00:16:10,940 --> 00:16:11,940
Exactly.

291
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,060
Of course, he turned out all right.

292
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,640
No, he didn't.

293
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,420
Hi, guys. Look, I'm Pete. We just wanted
to tell you more good news.

294
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,620
When our parents saw our report cards,
they gave us money.

295
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,840
Come on, Ben. Let me buy you a freezy
-weezy.

296
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,740
Look, I'm not going anywhere for two
weeks. I'm grounded.

297
00:16:31,180 --> 00:16:32,960
Well, you got nobody to blame but
yourself.

298
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,820
You could ace that test like we did.

299
00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:36,580
I know, Vito. I know.

300
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,840
Why the heck didn't you?

301
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,260
Because I was stupid enough to believe
my father when he told me cheaters never

302
00:16:41,260 --> 00:16:43,560
win. Oh, Ben, Ben, Ben, where you been?

303
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,440
Parents lie all the time. My folks tell
me all kinds of crazy stuff that ain't

304
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,300
true. Mine, too. Every night when my mom
goes to tuck me in, she tells me I'm

305
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:52,300
tall.

306
00:16:53,570 --> 00:16:56,990
Look, I gotta go. Look on the bright
side. At least you learned that when you

307
00:16:56,990 --> 00:16:59,490
want the truth, you come to your
friends, not your old man.

308
00:16:59,890 --> 00:17:00,890
You said it.

309
00:17:08,790 --> 00:17:09,790
Well,

310
00:17:11,970 --> 00:17:15,390
I'm glad I'm not being graded on my
performance the last 24 hours.

311
00:17:15,690 --> 00:17:17,609
Oh, Jason, you were wonderful.

312
00:17:18,369 --> 00:17:20,270
I'm not talking about last night.

313
00:17:22,950 --> 00:17:23,950
Neither was I.

314
00:17:39,050 --> 00:17:39,929
Got a minute?

315
00:17:39,930 --> 00:17:42,250
A minute? I believe I got two weeks.

316
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:45,030
Well, I've got to apologize.

317
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:46,990
I've made a terrible mistake.

318
00:17:47,790 --> 00:17:49,070
So you mean I'm not grounded?

319
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:51,830
Oh, Dad, I forgive you. See ya. No, no,
hey, wait, wait, Ben.

320
00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:53,980
Grounding him was the only thing I did
right.

321
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:56,940
So it's going to be one of those talks?

322
00:17:57,900 --> 00:17:58,900
Those talks?

323
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,080
Nothing. Go on.

324
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,960
Well, the advice I gave you last week
about cheating, Ben, was wrong.

325
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,440
Sure was.

326
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:10,640
I'm not saying it was wrong. I mean, it
was incomplete.

327
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,240
Oh, so it is going to be one of those
talks.

328
00:18:13,860 --> 00:18:16,760
Ben, don't pout like a kid. Come on, I'm
trying to talk to you as an adult.

329
00:18:17,650 --> 00:18:20,930
Look, when I told you that cheaters
never win, Ben, I thought that was all

330
00:18:20,930 --> 00:18:22,630
needed to know. But there is a lot more
to it.

331
00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:25,630
Because cheaters do win.

332
00:18:26,030 --> 00:18:27,910
Not only do they win, they win cash.

333
00:18:29,050 --> 00:18:32,430
Sometimes it's even bigger than that.
Sometimes they win gold medals at the

334
00:18:32,430 --> 00:18:35,510
Olympics. On a rare occasion, they even
win the White House.

335
00:18:38,770 --> 00:18:39,970
I'm not following this.

336
00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:44,150
I mean, if you can cheat and get away
with it, then what's wrong with it?

337
00:18:45,030 --> 00:18:48,290
Ben, the way you see cheating really
depends on how you understand the whole

338
00:18:48,290 --> 00:18:51,870
world. I don't understand it at all. I
got a D in science, remember?

339
00:18:54,530 --> 00:18:58,450
Look, why are we on this earth, Ben?
What's the point of our lives?

340
00:18:58,870 --> 00:19:01,850
You know, I mean, we all have to make a
choice. You either see things as order

341
00:19:01,850 --> 00:19:02,850
or chaos.

342
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:06,870
And if you see the world as chaos, then
there's no point in life at all.

343
00:19:07,130 --> 00:19:09,730
You know, nothing matters. And we're all
just a bunch of people running around.

344
00:19:09,770 --> 00:19:12,950
We're bumping into each other, having
fun, making noises till we die.

345
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:16,340
We're just taking up space, Ben, and I
can't believe in that.

346
00:19:19,180 --> 00:19:23,880
But look, if you see the world as having
order, Ben, then there's a reason to

347
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,040
everything. There's a reason to get up
in the morning. There's a reason to make

348
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,040
something of your life.

349
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,080
There's a reason for learning, Ben. It
all fits together.

350
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:34,980
And if learning is important, then
cheating is wrong.

351
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,570
Even when you get away with it? Well,
what's getting away with it? Not getting

352
00:19:38,570 --> 00:19:39,630
caught. Which means?

353
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:41,590
Getting an A. So what does the A mean?

354
00:19:41,790 --> 00:19:42,509
Ten bucks.

355
00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:43,810
So what does it mean you've learned?

356
00:19:44,030 --> 00:19:47,250
Nothing. Well, then you've been cheating
for nothing. Yes. What's the point in

357
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:49,350
it? Does there have to be a point? Yes,
Ben, or there's two.

358
00:19:52,410 --> 00:19:56,670
So you're saying there should be a point
in what I'm doing all the time?

359
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:01,070
Yes. I don't think I like being talked
to as an adult.

360
00:20:02,450 --> 00:20:04,630
Well, sometimes none of us do.

361
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:09,720
Dad, has anybody really given this chaos
thing a fair chance?

362
00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:13,540
Mike came close.

363
00:20:16,740 --> 00:20:19,460
Are you getting any of this?

364
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:24,500
Yeah, well, I'm starting to realize that
cheaters really don't win, but I

365
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:25,479
couldn't explain it.

366
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Well, then you're exactly where I was
two weeks ago when I couldn't explain it

367
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,539
to you.

368
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:30,540
Wait a minute.

369
00:20:30,740 --> 00:20:35,380
If the point of school is really
learning stuff, then I gotta do homework

370
00:20:35,380 --> 00:20:37,780
night? And I gotta study all the time?

371
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,160
And I gotta make sure... Wait, wait,
wait. One step at a time, Ben. I don't

372
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,240
you exploding on me.

373
00:20:45,460 --> 00:20:50,800
Look, what I want you to realize, Ben,
is that it's time for you to make a

374
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,800
choice.

375
00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:53,580
Order or chaos?

376
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,440
Well, I think we've just had our first
adult conversation.

377
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,680
Yeah.

378
00:21:03,580 --> 00:21:04,580
We did, didn't we?

379
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,060
You promised we don't have to have
another one for a real long time.

380
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,480
Deal.

381
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,260
Dad, is there any chance that our adult
conversation means I'm not grounded

382
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:19,260
anymore?

383
00:21:20,140 --> 00:21:21,240
No chance at all.

384
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:23,500
Just checking.

385
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,160
If there's a point to everything, maybe
that blonde in the leotard will be back.

386
00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:34,380
I can teach her something about order.

387
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,720
Like following them.

388
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,440
it's worth a shot

389
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:51,700
we'll

390
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:52,700
be back in a moment
