"You think I'm like this?"
Where is my father?
Go look for it.
Goodbye.
Let's go!
You're skateboarding.
All right?
People, people. Merlí is coming.
Hoo hoo, hoo
Hello.
Hi.
Are you new here?
2 years.
Me too.
Let's go to the same room.
My name is Oliver.
Pleasure.
Oksana.
Oksana?
- How old are you? - I'm 19.
- Me too. - Oh really?
We are the seniors in this college.
I have seen that you are very observant.
Have you seen some interesting guy or?
Yes. You.
But I have no chance.
No.
Let's go to class.
For me, to rest is to not study.
Yes.
Mountains of papers, meetings... It's suffering.
I was the head teacher for many years.
The first year was 88.
One less problem.
I just talked to the history teacher.
She will also be the head teacher.
A woman?
It was about time.
But at the moment, she can't come. We'll see her tomorrow.
She will prepare the guard duties
So, for now, we have to move on without it.
I ask for your cooperation.
Toni, I have a very important meeting today. Can I leave early?
Is it very important?
Yes. We are rethinking the process and I am the committee.
- Good Morning. - Good Morning.
They're all scared. You can't even walk down the aisles.
It's the emotion of the first day.
It'll pass.
How was your weekend?
Good, good.
You weren't in Flagstaff.
No. I don't go to many country bars.
Millan, now we have the presentation with the 1st year.
Yes.
We'd better go together because I'm not familiar with college yet.
But either way, it's fortunate that I got the job.
It was great to have a position to fill.
Did I say something...?
My husband was the former Spanish teacher.
And he died last semester.
Oh, sorry.
I said a lot... Forgive me.
No, relax. It's all right.
Listen, we have to change now.
I know I annoy you every year with this but we have to economize, right?
- Water, electricity, xerox... - Xerox...
I was already missing the wonders of public school.
Not you?
- Good morning everyone. - Good Morning.
But anyway, my friends, cheer up.
We have to make it possible for our students to not become mediocre, like those we have in politics, for example.
The only thing I can't understand is that Eugeni Bosch is not the head teacher.
The school would be destroyed, would not it?
I am not exactly the person who is destined to destroy schools.
Come on, Eugeni. Cheer up.
Now that you're a soldier without a post, we can have fun in the trench talking about women.
Come on, Tell me you didn't miss me. Come on, silly.
This mural has been here since June.
Teachers these days thought camping was dangerous and they didn't want to know anything about us.
Hey, guys?
How are you?
Guys, I'm going to this year
Going to what?
What?
Oh really?
Villamore.
- Man, there's a lot of girls. Forget her. - Shut up.
You want me to fuck like you? All the fucking day studying.
You go through all the girls and you don't get close to any. Sucker.
Dude, you have to tell him you're with her.
Monica doesn't want me to tell him.
I don't care.
I don't know what to do when he talks about her.
"How about you tell him?" - No chances.
Jesus, I wish you would not tell me anything.
Just tell him.
I don't know how.
Damn it!
Be a little like Merlí.
Goodbye.
Staying with your mom is fun, right?
Yes, with her, it's much simpler.
And besides, you have a boyfriend in Rome.
I came back today and we've already talked twice through Skype.
Ah. I envy you. You are in love.
What's his name?
Nicola.
Oh, Nicola.
- Maybe he'll come to Christmas. - Oh, really?
Of course I will introduce you to my father.
He has already made one of his "Merli".
He abandoned me at the airport.
All summer he didn't tell me anything. Besides, don't come pick me up.
He is in your world.
"He's like you in this, right?" - Hello, couple.
Oliver. So beautiful.
Thank you.
I had a great time going to Camprodon.
Hello.
How are you, cuddly?
"You smell." - Oh really? I don't know. Must be my new shampoo.
Peach aroma, with pearls.
How exotic!
Thank you. You heard my prayers.
She's not that hot.
Man, we've been with these girls for years. Now it's time for a new comer.
Monica is new.
Ivan, where are you going with that Cantona shirt?
And you with that skateboard shit?
All right, relax.
Relax, man. He wasn't laughing at you.
It irritates me.
Are you having dinner at my house today?
Your mother must be tired of emptying the refrigerator every day.
But, okay.
There you go, Gerard.
Hi Monica. H-How are you? How was your summer? Good?
- Good. - Oh really?
I kept a place... If you want to...
No, I don't, thank you.
I'd rather sit there.
OK.
So cute!
You're crazy about that girl, right?
What are you saying?
Good morning, peripatetics!
Sit down.
Well well well.
New semester
and I see new faces.
You, for example, what's your name?
Oksana.
Oksana.
I like that name. Where you are from?
Ukraine.
Very well. Oksana, why is eating popcorn not allowed in the living room?
Because it's the rule.
But these rules don't mean that they can't be transgressed.
Why can we eat popcorn at the movies?
but not in the classroom?
Philosophy classes in 2nd year will be like going to the movies.
How cool, isn' it?
Folks, my dad became considerate of this class.
I missed you.
Me too.
Joan, I know your father is well.
Yes, he went back to work.
Great.
Well, the new semester is starting.
Let's remember how the philosophical adventure began.
Does anyone remember?
The Pre-Socratics.
Great. The Pre-Socratics.
It's those who came before Socrates:
Tales, Heraclitus, Anaximander...
They all wondered what was the primordial element that makes things the way they are.
What was this element?
"Arché".
The beginning of everything around us.
Do you remember?
According to Thales, "arche" is water.
According to Heraclitus, it was fire.
Let's go through a bit of everything.
But I'm going to ask you a question to think about at home.
Where's Pol?
Is this what the pre-Socratics wondered? "Where's Pol?"
He didn't come.
Ah. Why?
Bruno?
He's sick.
Ah.
What question are you going to give?
Right.
Among all that the pre-Socratics said,
Which one do you think is the most important?
You can search the information on the internet if you want.
But I recommend that you think.
You're going to tell me where Pol is later.
What are you doing here?
Do we have the same job?
What are you doing? Are you crazy? Do you want me fired?
Would be nice.
So, I would save the typical scene of educational motivation.
Bruno should have been quiet.
Did you come to make a speech for me to come back?
I can make some money here, Merlí.
Take the afternoon shift.
Now I can tell the "boss" to change my work schedule?
You gave in to family pressure.
In my family, only Oscar works. And the rent was increased, Merlí.
So get yourself a job on the weekends, damn it!
I don't know, any shit:
cleaning windows or writing speeches for the king...
Merlí, you're bothering me.
Listen, one day, it will be confirmed that there is intelligent extraterrestrial life,
and you will be the philosopher charged with speaking to them.
Are you drunk?
You still have to finish your philosophy research.
I don't accept that you leave it in half.
Why do you say that!
Fuck the search!
Pol !!!
You have to unload the truck, dammit!
I'm going.
I'm not going back to school, Merlí.
Among all that the Pre-Socratics said,
Which one do you think is the most important?
It's the homework I gave today. Think about it.
Which is the most important for the Pre-Socratics?
The boss is tormenting me and you talking about Pre-Socratics?
I'm going.
No way.
Everyone tells stories but they are never real.
It happens. Yes. It happened to me.
Lie. Oh really?
With whom?
Tell me, tell me.
At my other school, my math teacher used to sing me a lot.
- Right. - I don't believe that.
Finally, it happened.
Oh really? Oh.
Were you in love?
No. I'd rather just stay.
And you guys?
Who has a boyfriend besides Monica?
Huh?
No, not me...
Aren't you with the little one? Uh... Joan?
- How? Lie. - With Joan?
I told you. They were walking a lot together.
I already knew.
What? Because?
And you, Oksana? Do you know everything or what?
How much time?
Several months.
Oh. You didn't tell anyone.
We didn't say anything because of Gerard.
I feel bad.
Is he your ex?
No.
But he'd love to be.
When he discovers this, the depression of the year will begin.
- Totally. - So cruel!
I like Gerard.
With the freckles on the cheeks...
I don't know. He has those eyes that make me want to suck his dick.
What?
Oh? Oh.
Oh really.
Hey, Oksana. I like the way you talk.
And you took it so fast with Monica and Joan.
Maybe it would be nice if you flirted with Gerard,
so he will forget me.
Okay. Sounds perfect to me.
I love guys who are bitching in other girls.
Oksana, by Angel Guimera, revolutionizes the chicken coop!
Very good.
How is my favorite AMPA president?
Good.
Is that you? How was Rome?
Great.
The vacation is finally over.
I still don't understand why Bruno didn't go to visit his mother alone.
I already said. He asked me.
- And before that I had to go with my mother... "You still haen't introduced me."
"We saw each other much less than expected this summer. "Let's meet more now."
And you will meet my mother someday.
You know the family atmosphere bothers me...
Do you have Pol's father number?
I thought AMPA irritated you. Now you need it?
Yes, I admit it.
In addition, you are able to turn me into a devoted father
who collaborates in arranging lamps, painting murals and all that.
Do you wear long pants because you are ashamed to show your legs?
What did you say?
You're crazy about Monica, right?
What? You don't know anything about me, okay?
You fall in love quickly with the girls but you are not very lucky.
Am I wrong?
Listen, you don't know anything about me, okay?
I've been with several girls. Many.
I'm sorry for you, because you're still attached to a girl who already has a boyfriend.
You don't stop talking shit!
Monica doesn't have a boyfriend.
Ah... sorry... I thought she was with Joan.
Now all the girls know.
They will spread this for sure.
But it's better that Gerard knows through them, right?
Are you upset with him?
Looks like he still likes you.
Joan, you always say the same thing.
You know I don't.
But he liked you.
And?
- If he doesn't like it, then there's no need to... - Joan, calm down.
Oops.
Gerard!
Gerard!
Gerard!
Gerard, please!
What?
Sorry for not saying anything.
You made me look like an idiot. You know that, right?
I know and it's my fault.
I didn't want to hurt you. But now I know it's worse.
Monica, you told me... that you liked me.
What do you mean? Now you don't like me anymore?
- Gerard. "No. Just say," Gerard, I don't like you. " Only that.
I'm in love with Joan.
But you and I can be friends.
You don't do this to a friend.
You're right.
I'm so sorry.
Monica, I'll always like you, okay?
Whatever happens.
I told you what I think.
You still have not told me you don't like me.
I should never have left a mouse as you approach my house.
I never liked you.
This is the last time you come to my house. I don't want to see you again.
You don't have to slap me.
I was stuck in the text.
There's a lighted cigarette, Mother.
Always the same thing.
I like to light cigarettes, not smoke.
Oh.
Son, are you planning to look for a house?
Want to kick us out?
Let's say I kindly asked you out.
Right.
Merl, it's time for you to be independent.
If you want, I'll help you find a student apartment.
Now you were kind.
You spend many nights with Gina.
Move in with her.
Hello, handsome.
Hello.
What's up?
Have you seen Pol?
Saw. It will be difficult, but he will return to class.
He won't go.
If I said he will come back, he will.
Tomorrow, I'm going to talk to his father. I can't imagine a class without Pol.
It turns out that the class ran out of Pol.
Don't talk to his father.
Why do you fuck people's lives?
Listen, don't charge me up.
Go talk to Fabrizio on Skype.
Nicola.
Whatever.
Come on, make a good laugh.
- Dad. "Listen, I have enough trouble with your grandmother.
Do you want Pol to return to class? Yes or no?
Shit, first the father, then the son. What are you doing here?
Is your grandmother coming tomorrow?
Bruno, you can't keep a secret, man.
I told your father I'm here.
I can, but I didn't want to.
Pol, I don't like him chasing you for you to go back to school.
But one thing is certain:
What are you doing here?
For God's sake, Bruno!
You know my family situation perfectly.
You Bergerons are funny.
Your actress grandmother doesn't make you pay the rent, right?
Hey, kid.
Where did you place the orders?
Section 9! I'm going!
Do you think I'd rather stay with this idiot than go to class?
But it's money.
So if you came to convince me to come back, you can leave now.
No fuck.
Pol, I came to tell you...
That you are my friend and would like you to go back to school.
I don't know.
This summer...
I got to forget you.
You know what I mean.
You don't like me anymore.
"Am I not good enough for you yet?" - Pol, man...
Say hello to everyone for me.
Hey, Gerard.
You act shy but actually, you're an idiot.
You said you'd help me with it though, picking her up.
Monica loved me.
She asked me not to say anything.
Fuck, Gerard...
"I've never been with any girl. You don't understand? - OK. You're going to do porn with her.
Hey, don't overdo it.
"You did this to me, asshole. "If she loved you, I would not interfere."
How come you're so sure she doesn't like me?
Huh?
Good Morning.
He didn't do his hair today.
My name is Manel Millan.
But everyone calls me Millan.
Looks like the previous teacher died.
I hope it is not a curse that weighs on the teachers of Spanish literature.
Good.
I'll try to make this material fun.
If you feel comfortable with me,
I'll be happy.
How cute!
But if you get bored, you can tell me too.
I don't like to read.
No problem.
Ask someone to explain the book to you before the test.
Or you can paste.
70% of the students, who prepare the glues, don't use them
Because they memorized them when they did.
"Have no mercy."
It's a must.
Someone tells someone not to have mercy on a person.
How could we save his life?
What?
How would we save his life?
Aah.
"No, be merciful."
A comma can save a life.
Did you see? How important is my story?
Hi.
Merlí Bergeron.
Yes. You must be the father of Pol Rubio.
Alfonso.
Merlí.
Why did you call me?
Yes. Let's go into the visitors' room.
You can talk to me in Catalan.
I've been here for years, you know.
Ah very good.
Tell me.
I want to congratulate you.
Your child is eligible to study.
Pol has already told me about your sense of humor.
Yes, but I'm serious.
He is very good at philosophy.
Okay, I'll tell him this on your behalf. I'm sure he'll be delighted.
I want Pol to continue studying.
This is what you want?
And who the hell are you to ask for something?
His teacher.
Yeah.
Well, I'm his father. And I say that Pol will work.
Or are you going to give me the money Pol is making?
If he only worked on the weekends, he could continue studying.
Is that a joke or what the hell is this?
The boy is good where he is. He has a salary. we are living better.
Really?
Did you ask what he prefers?
By preference, he prefers a house with pool.
Pol is old enough.
He can now decide without pressure what suits him.
The only pressuring here is you.
He is 18 years old.
But now we're living together. He's not independent.
Are you telling me that he is a good student when he has repeated 2 years?
Stop this!
When you grow up, if you want to study, you can do whatever you want.
Now he's going to work.
I was working when I was 14 years old.
This is called ignorant pride.
Are you going to turn your child into what you are?
For the love of God! How dare you tell me that?
What's going on here?
"I'm not going to hit you because my son likes you!" - Fuck you.
Alfonso, Alfonso, wait. What happened?
- Wait for me in my office. - OK.
You had your chance to fire Merlí,
and now hold it.
Now you're not the head teacher.
So shut up.
I'll shut up.
Do you know how many good students drop out of school every year? They are forced.
Families that are unemployed, people who can't afford classes...
I can also talk about families with economic problems who do everything for their children to study.
Yes, but this is not the case.
Pol decided not to come.
He is already 18.
You can't do anything.
High school is not compulsory.
And honestly, Merlí... fuck you, you know the story of Pol.
Nor is he an exemplary student.
He is my best student of philosophy.
Listen, Toni.
His dad spends the day scratching his balls while his kids are working hard for him.
I don't think that's right.
But you can't intervene in a family,
and especially, insulting the father of a student.
You don't see?
It's easy to understand, right?
I'm getting tired of working at Angel Guimera. And partly thanks to you.
I feel bad, but at my age, I will not change.
Pardon.
Jesus, Merlí, how can Gina handle you ??
So let's talk about this now?
Forget. I should not have said that.
No, deep down, I like you to be spontaneous.
What do you bet Pol will finish high school?
Here here.
What are you doing? It's my turn.
Sucker.
You will play in the end.
- What are you doing? - It's my turn.
Do you want to catch up?
"can't you see he's bigger than you?" - Yeah, shit.
Don't talk like that.
I have been told that the secondary is more complicated. you will get more and more homework.
Mom wants you to be okay.
Right, mom...
Pau, mom spends nights working for us.
Dude, pass this year.
If you get stuck in any matter, I'll help you.
OK?
Yes I know. Boring.
Boring.
You're a good brother, are not you?
Hey... thanks.
He's getting more and more lazy.
Is it true that you like Gerard?
Has it been spread?
Everything is known here.
Well, not everything, because I only know about Monica and Joan.
What's there?
Oh, the locker rooms. didn't you see them?
Want to go. Let's go.
They are good. You will see.
It has some spots of dampness.
Here are the showers.
Listen, this shower is super cold, you're going to go crazy.
Well, hangers, seats... I don't know.
It's pretty typical.
Oh, that's strong.
Are you going to tell Gerard?
No, relax. This is between you and me.
Tell him. I don't care.
I... We... What should I tell him?
Merlí is a good teacher but he's a son of a bitch.
See if you can control him when he turns me green in the hall.
Shit.
He can't just come and give me lessons as if I didn't know what life is like.
He called me ignorant. It means idiot.
I've been working my whole life, so an idiot fills my head with the fucking philosophy.
My God.
If you don't want to work, say so.
Say it, shit.
Dad, no one wants to work, but they have to, right?
Then that's it.
Then you will tell him not to approach me again.
Jesus, I didn't know.
Pol, don't forget:
in this family, we don't study
but we have education.
Here is the list of those who have not yet paid the ticket.
Can you remind them?
Yes, we will have a warning in class.
But if everyone ends up paying, we will not have enough tickets, right?
Don't worry. There are many who share.
Listen, I want to ask you something.
Is it true of Merlí and the father of Pol Rubio?
Yes, he continued with his peculiar style.
But he did it for the boy, right?
It's great that he helped you.
But he didn't have to insult his father.
In the background, I admire Merlí.
He does what he wants.
Caution.
Yeah, see you later. Let's go.
Hey, Bruno.
How was Rome?
Good.
Your father told me that you have a boyfriend.
So? They know each other?
No, he doesn't know him.
What?
Did my father tell you that he had gone to Rome with me?
That bastard...
See you later.
Goodbye.
The Pre-Socratics were the first to question
that lightning and thunder were the results that Zeus was an evil God.
They saw nature as a living and eternal element
With continuous force.
What the Pre-Socratics observed was...
The "physis"...
Nature understood as a source of growth and change.
Heraclitus said "we will not bathe twice in the same river".
Everything is in constant motion.
Everything flows.
Does anyone remember the "arche" according to Heraclitus?
Joan?
Fire.
Very well.
Fire Fire.
You insulted my father.
Hey, Pol.
- We were talking about "arche". - No "arche" or anything.
Did you laugh at my family?
You don't accept that I'm working.
What are you looking at?
There are people who need to work.
Do you believe this will happen to you rich children?
Pol, come with me.
No, I'm not going anywhere. Let's talk here.
You dared to interrupt my class. Very well.
But I'm the one who decides where we're going to talk. Let's go.
Come on!
Now are you afraid someone will hear us?
You were not so considerate of my father. In the middle of the damn hall.
You remember when I came here,
And I took you here to teach?
Remember what you asked me to do?
You said, "Merlí, are you all ready to philosophize?"
Want an answer, Pol Rubio?
You're.
"Oh, yes, I am a great genius of philosophy. - No, you are not.
But you have skills. You make good arguments, damn it.
Do you think I'm such an idiot to let a student as you go?
"Does that entitle you to insult my father?" - Yes.
Because he's playing with your future.
And you are a coward who, instead of letting things clear with him and striving to go his way,
sacrifices himself for him,
"Because you feel guilty and evil." "I feel bad for you."
Nobody cares what you explain.
People ignore your paranoia, Merlí.
Do you think we care what some guys said 2000 years ago?
Neither Heraclitus, Parmenides nor shit!
Real life is here, in the 21st century.
You can't hurt me by saying things you don't think.
You stay here.
"You know I'm right. - I'll tell you that.
You are like Socrates.
Very cool.
And you want me to be your Plato, right?
Jesus, just from what you said, you have to go back to my class, you idiot.
You will not do this for me.
Do it for yourself.
Because you feel good when a student goes your way, if not, your work would not make sense.
You know that no one wants to study philosophy and you would give anything,
if only one student studied that shit!
Is this true or not?
Listen, when a philosophy professor finds a student really interested in the subject,
everything will make more sense.
"Pol, all I do is trust your possibilities. You could pursue this career. "No, I'm not going to pursue your career.
Fuck you.
You will not get anything out of it, Bergeron.
And my father... Stay away from him ..
You should read Karl Marx.
- Work kills all power of thought! - Fuck you!
It was so horrible that I was shocked.
- Poor kid. He was annoyed.
Tania, you owe me a pen, right?
Yes, I'm sorry. I'll give it back tomorrow.
Merlí lost his head.
Did he really insult Pol's father?
Oh gosh!
My father insult anyone? Unbelievable.
I think it's good.
If it were not for Merli's insistence, Ivan would still be home.
Just like an animal.
You complain that Ivan bothers you.
Okay.
Well, the admission test is really difficult.
All matters are enslaving us.
- We're facing the cut. - I still don't understand.
Hey!
How are you?
Well well.
I was going to say that...
I've been thinking... we could do something.
Come to my house if you want.
Dude, you're a little too much, right?
It was good, Vilaseca, but that's it.
We're just friends.
What's wrong with you is that you still hold against Pol.
Is not true!
Well, a little, yes.
But I don't understand why you get involved with a guy who cares nothing.
You have to know people better,
just as you want them to do the same for you.
I don't know. It's different with Pol.
Don't be jealous like Bruno.
Bruno?
Jealous of Pol?
He thinks I don't understand.
But I see your sad face and feel your ironic reproaches.
He is a child who demands attention from Dad.
Bruno is an idiot.
What is between you and Bruno?
Listen, I don't have a father and I accept that.
But knowing you, I don't understand why Bruno keeps complaining, instead of enjoying having a father like you.
Do you think that after telling me this, I'll hug you?
No.
Do you always have to cool things down or what?
- I said something beautiful, right? - Yes.
What do you want?
That I would open my heart to you and have an emotional embrace?
I have said a thousand times that life is not a novel by Federico Moccia.
I don't like these novels.
Jesus, whenever I read some phrase about this "bird", I want to strangle someone.
We are stunned!
They make young people seek an ideal relationship with little reality,
and dreams that come true.
There are several writers who can confuse us with 4 beautiful sentences.
They are sentimental sausages.
- Real life is more incomplete. - Yes.
But you're right about one thing:
Bruno is a fool not to appreciate his father. Let's see when he realizes he has such an incredible father. Jesus!
Amazing?
My dad?
He is, Bruno.
I came back from Rome and my incredible dad didn't give a shit about me.
As if he cared more for Ivan and Pol than for me.
Stop thinking.
Do you know? In the camp, I got myself a guy.
What?!
Nothing, just 4 kisses. But I liked him.
And he told me that maybe, someday he'd stay in Barcelona because he's from Vilafranca, and...
I want to talk to Nicola...
Dude, why are you doing this?
What?
We were talking about myself.
And you, as always, change the subject to talk about you.
You don't care what I tell you.
- I don't know what to say. - You don't need to say anything.
I just want you to know.
That's all.
Will Pol go back to class?
I know you want him to come back.
Yes, but not for the reason you are thinking.
Summer is good to forget people. Right, Dad?
Leave your irony.
If you want to blame me for some, blame it.
You didn't call me for almost a month.
I thought, "He'd say something." But...
Anything.
It seems that we have different concepts about vacations.
For me, being on vacation means a break from the family
and Gina.
She knows you didn't go to Rome with me.
You told her.
Now I know why she didn't want me to stay until the end.
If you want me to lie for you, let me know first.
Dad, I just want to say that you don't care about us.
Everything is easier with Mom.
With Mom?
You know I talked to her before you went to Rome?
Yeah, I called her.
Because I know she's conservative.
She already thought you were gay.
but I confirmed it to her.
And I asked her to accept it despite all the bullshit.
She had no problem with that.
Are you taking my credit?
No but...
Listen, Bruno...
When you were...
7 years,
You asked me to play with dolls.
Do you remember?
Your mother didn't want to buy them.
What did I do?
I bought a doll, ignoring your mother.
You came to my house, spent hours dressing her and giving her a bath... You had fun.
Until you got tired.
Most parents would not have bought them a doll.
They fear that "that boy becomes a little fagot."
No, Bruno...
You can never accuse me of not understanding you.
And you know why I did it?
Because to me, you are the most important person in this world.
I gave you what you needed.
And I need things too.
I need my space.
And I need to vacation wherever I want.
When you really need me,
You know you can count on me.
Like the time you asked me to play with dolls.
Oscar, look at this chair.
"Massage chair".
Looks cool.
It's comfortable.
- Bread? - No.
Go buy some.
Shit.
Today you have a meeting with Gines.
No 11.
- He has to pay the extra. - Yes of course.
What I want is for him to leave me in charge.
I'll earn more.
The one before was a sleeper.
Gines knows you well.
Fuck, if he knows me well. It's been four years.
You don't ask anything. Let's see what he can do.
4 years to be in charge?
You're dumb?
What?
Sounds like a lot to me.
Will your salary increase greatly?
100 euros.
If it works well, it will be valued and paid for.
So you can buy a little present...
But do we really need all this crap?
What?
Listen, one day, Socrates went to the market and cheerfully said:
"Look how many things I don't need!"
Look at him.
The family intellectual...
It will make us rich with philosophy.
This is not being intellectual.
I tried the chair at the mall.
Oh? How was it?
Oh.
I spent half an hour sitting there with the manager.
I felt like a child.
I wish I had one.
I told you.
Don't throw away the photocopies because they will be on the test and the entrance examination.
Here is the list of all Pre-Socratics,
and information about each of them.
Has anyone thought of the question I asked the first day?
Who do you think is the most important of the Pre-Socratics?
Parmenides.
- Zeno. - No.
Come in.
Look...
What?
You're late for class. I shouldn't let you in.
Come in.
I didn't ask who is the most important of the Pre-Socratics, but what you consider the most important
among all that the first philosophers said?
Pol?
I didn't think much.
The "arche"?
No.
Everyone will say different things.
They were the first to observe life...
Well, you know what I mean, to observe nature and such...
And everyone said what came out of their balls.
No, no. You're right.
They were the first to observe.
And?
If you were the first to observe,
perhaps the most important were not the answers they gave,
but the questions they asked.
Don't expect me to give you an extra point on the test.
You don't have the guts.
I didn't miss class for 2 days.
Well, Peripatetics,
Asking questions was what the Pre-Socratics did.
And that's what I want you to do since the day I came, dammit.
Doubt, question...
Fight the interest that power has to turn us into zombies!
You have to be aware of what could happen
because, folks, we are ruled by incompetent, ignorant and a psychopathic gang with power.
And worst of all, people believe them, damn it!
Don't do this, please.
Doubt anything any idiot with a tie behind a podium or a table says.
Ask questions like the Pre-Socratics.
Come on, I want to hear you.
You can be concrete. For example, I have a question:
Would an intelligent politician have a future among many idiots with the right to vote?
Merlí is so bad.
And again, another question:
Why doesn't the Church pay property taxes?
Do they no longer have much status to continue having this privilege?
Merlí! And the women in the church?
When can we have mass? Or be bishops?
Very good very good.
But do you want to be a bishop?
You, shut up, idiot!
What about gays? We also want to be popes or bishops! When will we be accepted?
Good.
My son interfering in class! Great fucking great! Very good!
Ivan.
Why in a democracy are there parties with fascist ideologies?
Yes sir!
Is everything allowed in democracy?
Why are the rich more likely to get out of jail?
Tania.
If you have no money, justice doesn't care about you.
Very well.
Uri.
It sounds silly, but it's not: why do people go to the beach?
Because there are girls.
"But what's the point?" It makes no sense. No, I liked it. I liked.
People go to the beach to get a tan,
which is related to being more beautiful and therefore more seductive, more flirtatious. And then, happier.
Guys, come back to Aristotle,
the master of Peripatetics:
The purpose of life is happiness.
You see, there is philosophy even on a beach crowded with people behaving like iguanas.
How did you get Pol Rubio back to class?
He has good sense.
You know that's what's missing in you sometimes.
You can say whatever you want. That will not affect me.
Now I'm not the head teacher anymore.
This year, I'm going to spend the semester watching, without getting wet.
I'll come, teach, and then I'll leave.
This will make you feel like a bad teacher.
I at least don't think I'm the best teacher.
You seem tense, Eugeni. Do Pilates.
Pilates?
See? I'm not bothered. It's funny.
You know what I say?
You'll find someone worse off than I some day.
I am fascinated that after so many years of history,
You men are still making war.
What amazes me most is that the education of the new generation is in their hands.
Coralina.
History teacher.
Chief teacher
You see?
I told you.
In class we can have fun,
but I notice that I too can be unbearable.
Coralina is so annoying.
She is the black pearl.
She must live with cats or something.
I like her.
What are you saying?
When a new hive arrives, I like to know who flies and who stings.
We bees don't sting on the first change.
We leave the poison to the wasps, which are in charge.
I don't want wars, Merlí.
Soon we will miss Eugeni as head teacher.
He is selfish by nature.
So, according to Hobbes...
Your brother is Pau Vilaseca from 6th grade, right?
What happened?
Today, he hit a girl with a ruler.
The next incident he will be expelled.
"I don't want to study with you." - don't hit me.
I know Bruno told you that I had not been to Rome.
Be careful with me, Merlí.
Because we all know how to lie. You can go your way, and I mine.
This room is for me.
You deserve more than just a room with a bad smell.
Toni, could not we find a space for her?
It could be in the laboratory, where there is formaldehyde.
I think we're going to get along, Merlí.
