Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey.
17
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:12,910
You mind?
18
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:16,180
I can't find any of my
new school supplies, Alex.
19
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:17,880
Did you
take my scissors?
20
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:20,180
Your scissors?
21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,580
Jennifer, as of today
I am a freshman in college.
22
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:27,300
In college, we deal in
the realm of ideas,
23
00:01:27,330 --> 00:01:29,980
of theories. Of... Of...
Of abstract concepts.
24
00:01:30,020 --> 00:01:32,010
We work not
with our hands
25
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:34,950
but with our minds.
26
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:36,480
Jennifer,
I can assure you:
27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,620
I have absolutely
no use for your scissors.
28
00:01:39,650 --> 00:01:41,650
Okay, then
give me back my paste.
29
00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:45,880
I need that.
30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,620
Mallory, please!
31
00:01:47,650 --> 00:01:49,150
I've got to be at work
in a half an hour.
32
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:50,220
It's enough.
33
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:52,520
Come on, Mom.
This is very important.
34
00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:53,590
It's my first day
of school.
35
00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:56,090
I wanna get it off
to a good start.
36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,790
I'm in my
junior year now.
37
00:01:57,820 --> 00:01:59,420
A lot more is
expected of me.
38
00:01:59,450 --> 00:02:01,120
Okay, Mallory.
What is it you wanna know?
39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520
Which outfit
do you like best:
40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,860
The one I have on
now, okay?
41
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:08,620
Or one of the first six
I tried on?
42
00:02:08,660 --> 00:02:09,890
Do not change clothes.
43
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,220
The outfit you have on right now
is clearly the best one.
44
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:15,730
Are you sure, Mom?
45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,160
I promise you.
46
00:02:18,190 --> 00:02:19,540
Morning, kids. Hi. Hey, Dad.
47
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:20,860
Say, Mallory,
what happened
48
00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:22,390
to that red outfit
you had on before?
49
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:23,430
That looked great.
50
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:24,630
Mom!
51
00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:27,530
Steven, what a
terrible thing to say!
52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400
I... Tell Mallory
you didn't mean it.
53
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:34,400
Uh, Mallory, I didn't mean it.
54
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:36,160
I must have lost my head.
55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,970
Isn't that sweet?
All three of our children
56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,530
getting ready for another
first day at school.
57
00:02:44,570 --> 00:02:45,800
Uh, Mom,
58
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:47,770
I wish you
would respect the fact
59
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,730
that I am in college now.
60
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:52,500
I mean, I-I'd appreciate it
if you wouldn't
61
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:55,200
lump me together
with these two bambinos.
62
00:02:55,230 --> 00:02:58,000
You think you're so hot
just because you're in college.
63
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,300
Jennifer, Jennifer.
I am not just
64
00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:06,400
"in college. "
65
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,700
I am at Leland University.
66
00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:12,410
One of the finest
institutions of higher learning
67
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,740
in this country.
68
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:16,340
And I'm not just "at Leland,"
either.
69
00:03:16,370 --> 00:03:19,640
I am the winner of
the McKinley Scholarship
70
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,770
at Leland.
71
00:03:20,810 --> 00:03:22,480
And I'm not just...
Alex, will you...?
72
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Whoa, whoa. That's Doug.
73
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,740
That's my ride.
74
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:31,980
Well,
75
00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:33,340
I'm off to college.
76
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:35,140
Dad.
77
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:37,080
Yeah, good luck, son.
Thank you.
78
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:38,400
Bye-bye.
79
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:39,650
Mom.
80
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,960
I'm so proud of you,
honey.
81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,210
Thank you, Mom. Bye-bye.
82
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:46,180
Listen, you take care
of yourselves while I'm gone.
83
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:51,350
We'll, uh, try to manage
without you till supper.
84
00:03:51,380 --> 00:03:54,380
You know,
while it's true that Leland
85
00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:56,150
is only a mere 30 miles away,
86
00:03:56,190 --> 00:03:57,280
as I leave here today
87
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,220
I feel as though
I'm pulling up anchor.
88
00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:03,250
You know, casting off.
Setting sail into a vast sea
89
00:04:03,290 --> 00:04:05,680
of knowledge and wisdom.
90
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,290
One man.
The captain of his own ship.
91
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,790
Don't forget your lunch.
92
00:04:13,290 --> 00:04:14,660
Extra cookies?
93
00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:16,020
Aye-aye, captain.
94
00:04:20,890 --> 00:04:22,160
Welcome to
Leland College.
95
00:04:22,190 --> 00:04:23,420
I am Efrem Bronski.
96
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:25,930
This is a freshman seminar
in American government.
97
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,060
If you are not enrolled
in this course,
98
00:04:28,090 --> 00:04:29,490
and here by mistake,
99
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:31,360
well, then,
I suggest you leave now
100
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:33,190
before you become
too engrossed.
101
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,040
I'm going to begin our studies
with an examination
102
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,730
of the Free Speech Clause
of the First Amendment.
103
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,360
It reads, and I quote:
104
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,630
"Congress shall make no law
105
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:54,260
abridging
the freedom of speech. "
106
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:55,630
No law.
107
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:56,670
Did you hear that,
Doug?
108
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:57,860
No law.
109
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:01,230
Don't look at me.
I'm not gonna make one.
110
00:05:01,270 --> 00:05:02,830
The wording is
quite unambiguous.
111
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:05,500
And yet Congress has passed
many laws over the years
112
00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:08,700
which restrict the individual's
right to express himself.
113
00:05:08,740 --> 00:05:10,500
Is there
an inconsistency here?
114
00:05:11,970 --> 00:05:12,940
Yes?
115
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:15,470
Uh, yes, sir.
It would, uh...
116
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:19,170
It would appear that there is
an inconsistency here, sir.
117
00:05:19,210 --> 00:05:20,840
What is your name,
young man?
118
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:22,440
Uh, Alex P. Keaton, sir.
119
00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:25,210
Uh, Mr. Keaton, I was merely
posing a rhetorical question.
120
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,670
I did not
expect a response.
121
00:05:28,140 --> 00:05:30,210
Nor did I want one.
122
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,780
Oh, I'm...
Uh, I didn't mean to respond.
123
00:05:33,810 --> 00:05:35,780
I w...
I was just up.
124
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:39,490
And as long as I'm up,
125
00:05:39,530 --> 00:05:41,240
can I get you something?
126
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:45,380
Uh, no. I'm fine,
127
00:05:45,410 --> 00:05:48,640
But let's pursue this.
128
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,100
You said you felt
there was an inconsistency
129
00:05:51,130 --> 00:05:53,160
between what's written
in the Constitution
130
00:05:53,190 --> 00:05:55,180
and the fact that
Congress has passed laws
131
00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:57,720
limiting free speech.
Now,
132
00:05:57,750 --> 00:06:00,180
why do you feel that way?
133
00:06:00,220 --> 00:06:02,730
Is this
a rhetorical question?
134
00:06:02,770 --> 00:06:05,250
No, this is
a regular question.
135
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:06,880
Well, uh, if...
If...
136
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,120
If the constitution
states that...
137
00:06:09,150 --> 00:06:11,020
That freedom of speech
is an absolute right,
138
00:06:11,050 --> 00:06:13,180
then, uh... Then congress
shouldn't be allowed to...
139
00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:14,640
To restrict it
at all.
140
00:06:14,670 --> 00:06:16,020
It's as simple as that.
141
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:19,490
You would, uh, legalize
libel, slander?
142
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,940
Well, no.
No, certainly not.
143
00:06:21,970 --> 00:06:24,320
But you just said
that you felt
144
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:26,960
that free speech
was an absolute right.
145
00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:28,060
Is it or isn't it?
146
00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:31,410
Uh, well, y...
Uh, yeah, it is.
147
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,380
Uh, except for those things.
148
00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:35,320
What about incitement to riot?
149
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,020
Uh, that too.
150
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:38,660
What about
censorship of newspapers,
151
00:06:38,690 --> 00:06:40,880
book banning, treason?
152
00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:43,030
Uh, those are good.
153
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:44,930
So there is no free speech,
is there, Mr. Keaton?
154
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,230
No, sir.
Not as far as I can tell.
155
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:49,500
Do you feel you've wasted
enough of the class's time yet?
156
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:51,260
Yep, I think so.
157
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,430
I hope you were all paying, uh,
close attention
158
00:06:56,460 --> 00:06:57,960
to the comments of Mr. Keaton
159
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,800
because they represent
exactly the kind
160
00:06:59,830 --> 00:07:01,530
of narrow-minded,
unsophisticated
161
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,070
and simplistic approach
to American government
162
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:05,160
that, with any luck,
163
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,130
this class will
help you to overcome.
164
00:07:07,170 --> 00:07:09,030
Nice work.
165
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:26,870
Uh, Mom?
166
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:30,470
Mom?
167
00:07:30,510 --> 00:07:32,700
Oh. I'm sorry, honey.
168
00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:35,970
Knitting a sweater
for the baby.
169
00:07:36,010 --> 00:07:37,440
I know it's a little cliché,
170
00:07:37,470 --> 00:07:39,010
but not as much
as knitting booties.
171
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,370
Uh, Mom.
172
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:41,440
I'm... I'm sorry, honey.
173
00:07:41,470 --> 00:07:43,470
Go ahead.
Get your work done.
174
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:44,740
No, I'm sorry, Mom.
175
00:07:44,780 --> 00:07:46,340
I didn't mean to
cut you off like that.
176
00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:48,080
It's just that,
uh,
177
00:07:48,110 --> 00:07:50,110
I really got a lot
of work to do, you know?
178
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:51,510
Your first day?
179
00:07:51,540 --> 00:07:53,780
Yeah, well I'm
a little overanxious.
180
00:07:53,810 --> 00:07:56,010
Gee, I really got off
on the wrong foot
181
00:07:56,050 --> 00:07:57,340
with Professor Bronski
today.
182
00:07:57,380 --> 00:07:59,560
I ju... I spoke too quickly,
you know?
183
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,750
Without thinking.
I came on too strong.
184
00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:03,250
I seemed too pushy.
185
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,880
You?
186
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:08,050
Anyway, that's why I wanna
do a great job
187
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,250
on this paper he assigned.
188
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,870
You know, really show him
what I can do.
189
00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:14,410
No, after this he'll know
that I am not
190
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:18,150
the babbling idiot
he saw in his class today.
191
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:20,780
I think, uh, he's gonna wanna
take me under his wing.
192
00:08:20,820 --> 00:08:23,150
You know,
become my mentor.
193
00:08:23,180 --> 00:08:27,120
Maybe ask me to collaborate
on a book with him.
194
00:08:27,150 --> 00:08:29,600
Maybe ask me to the prom.
195
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,300
Alex, get back to work.
196
00:08:32,330 --> 00:08:34,950
Right, right, right.
197
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:38,420
Can I help you?
198
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:40,560
No,
I'm just bored.
199
00:08:40,590 --> 00:08:43,160
What are you working on?
200
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:45,180
A paper.
You happy?
201
00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:47,120
What's it about?
202
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,360
Eugene V. Debs.
You happy now?
203
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:52,420
Who's Eugene V. Debs?
204
00:08:52,460 --> 00:08:55,530
Well, Jennifer,
if you must know,
205
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,530
Eugene V. Debs was a socialist
who was arrested in 1917
206
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,790
for making a speech
opposing American involvement
207
00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:03,060
in World War I.
208
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,860
See, he claimed
he was just exercising
209
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:07,860
his right to free speech.
210
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:09,800
But the Supreme Court,
211
00:09:09,830 --> 00:09:11,600
in a decision by
Oliver Wendell Holmes,
212
00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:13,230
disagreed.
213
00:09:13,260 --> 00:09:14,930
They said that his speech
214
00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:18,200
was a clear and present
danger to the country.
215
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:20,150
Are you happy now?
216
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:22,070
Now I'm happy.
217
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:24,770
I was generally pleased
218
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,330
with the quality
of these first essays.
219
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:30,440
Most of them
were quite satisfactory.
220
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:33,200
I don't give As
very often but, uh...
221
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,940
But there was one
very exceptional paper
222
00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:37,800
in the bunch.
223
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,440
To that individual, I say,
"A job well done. "
224
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,340
Class dismissed.
225
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,270
Excellent paper, young man.
A splendid piece of work.
226
00:09:53,310 --> 00:09:54,570
Well, thank you sir.
227
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:56,290
Ah. It was an honor
to write it for you.
228
00:09:56,330 --> 00:09:57,980
I found the experience
both educational
229
00:09:58,010 --> 00:09:59,670
and rewarding.
230
00:09:59,710 --> 00:10:02,140
I was talking to him.
231
00:10:02,180 --> 00:10:04,540
Uh, thank you, sir.
232
00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:06,580
It was an honor
to write it for you.
233
00:10:06,610 --> 00:10:08,580
I found the experience
both educational
234
00:10:08,610 --> 00:10:10,310
and rewarding.
235
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,180
I got an A, Alex.
236
00:10:19,610 --> 00:10:21,310
What...?
W- What did you get, a...
237
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:22,920
A B?
238
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,050
A C?
239
00:10:27,650 --> 00:10:28,820
A D?
240
00:10:30,380 --> 00:10:32,580
Well, there's only one grade
I haven't mentioned yet.
241
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:39,720
That's the one.
242
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,040
Mallory, I am surprised at you.
243
00:10:48,070 --> 00:10:49,320
After that big
talk we had
244
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,720
about how hard you were
gonna work in school,
245
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,090
you got two C minuses
on your first three tests.
246
00:10:54,130 --> 00:10:55,320
I'm sorry, Mom.
247
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,290
I've just had a lot of things
on my mind lately.
248
00:10:58,330 --> 00:11:00,120
I mean,
249
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,460
what, with the baby
coming and everything.
250
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:09,290
How long do you plan on
using that as an excuse?
251
00:11:09,330 --> 00:11:11,990
Just till it's through
its teething stage.
252
00:11:12,030 --> 00:11:14,600
After the dishes,
I want you both to go upstairs
253
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:16,310
and get busy
on your homework.
254
00:11:16,350 --> 00:11:17,960
I don't have
any homework, Mom.
255
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
We had a substitute today
and we convinced her
256
00:11:20,030 --> 00:11:23,480
that Mrs. Dovler doesn't
give homework on Thursdays.
257
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,930
I'm not real happy with
either of your attitudes here.
258
00:11:26,970 --> 00:11:28,770
Now, I'm... I'm not trying
to compare you to Alex,
259
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,570
but I think you can both
learn a lesson from him
260
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,330
in attitude
toward school.
261
00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:35,100
I have an announcement
to make:
262
00:11:35,140 --> 00:11:37,330
I'm dropping out of school.
263
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,100
What are you talking about?
264
00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:43,040
What do you mean,
you're dropping out of school?
265
00:11:43,070 --> 00:11:44,200
Dad,
266
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,170
today was the worst
day of my life.
267
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:50,140
Mom, Dad.
268
00:11:50,170 --> 00:11:51,500
Alex seems pretty upset,
269
00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:53,070
so maybe Jen and I
should leave
270
00:11:53,110 --> 00:11:54,470
so you can talk to him.
271
00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:56,670
Thank you, honey.
That's very thoughtful.
272
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:58,840
But it's our turn
to wash the dishes.
273
00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:59,840
Shh!
274
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:04,170
Right. What happened?
275
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:06,610
Well, uh, Professor Bronski
276
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,010
handed back our papers today.
277
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,210
And, uh, I got an...
278
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,030
An...
279
00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:18,540
An F.
280
00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:20,010
An F?
An F?
281
00:12:22,510 --> 00:12:23,610
How is that possible?
282
00:12:23,650 --> 00:12:26,750
I mean, you worked
so hard on this paper.
283
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:27,880
"While abundant... "
284
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:30,450
"In data and facts,
this essay is long-winded
285
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,980
and totally lacking in
any meaningful insight. "
286
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:37,380
I was a star in high school,
287
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:39,420
but I just don't
have what it takes
288
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:41,220
to make it in college.
289
00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:42,780
I'm a failure.
290
00:12:42,820 --> 00:12:45,350
I'm... I'm like
Orlando Del Rio.
291
00:12:45,380 --> 00:12:48,020
You are nothing like
Orlando Del Rio.
292
00:12:49,650 --> 00:12:51,820
Uh, who's, uh, Orlando Del Rio?
293
00:12:51,850 --> 00:12:53,950
Come on, Dad.
Orlando Del Rio.
294
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:55,990
He led the minor leagues
in hitting for three years.
295
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:57,520
Then when he joins
the Cincinnati Reds,
296
00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,520
he goes 0 for 167.
297
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:03,890
I think he runs
a shoe store in Dayton.
298
00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:07,490
Maybe I could call him
for a job.
299
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:09,560
Honey, you got one F.
300
00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:12,520
Look, you said so yourself.
301
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,590
You're not in high school
anymore, you're in college.
302
00:13:14,630 --> 00:13:16,030
And it's a very difficult
college.
303
00:13:16,060 --> 00:13:19,360
Mom, Mom, Just forget it, okay?
Forget it.
304
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,330
It's over.
305
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,790
It is not over.
306
00:13:21,830 --> 00:13:23,700
You're still learning
what's expected of you.
307
00:13:23,730 --> 00:13:25,900
You're bound to
do better next time.
308
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:27,160
Take Willie Mays.
309
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,930
He... He started out badly
in the majors,
310
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,230
and look what happened to him.
311
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:33,800
What does this have to do
with baseball, Dad?
312
00:13:33,830 --> 00:13:36,430
Honey,
you suffered a setback.
313
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:38,930
I mean, I know
how badly you feel.
314
00:13:38,970 --> 00:13:41,400
But try and keep it
in perspective.
315
00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:45,300
All right. All right.
You're right, Mom. You're right.
316
00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:47,200
I'm gonna keep it
in perspective.
317
00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:50,800
I'm, uh... I'm not gonna
drop out of college.
318
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,430
But I am gonna drop that course.
319
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:55,740
Well, Efrem Bronski is a genius
and he deserves better
320
00:13:55,770 --> 00:13:57,900
than to have his class
cluttered up by...
321
00:13:57,940 --> 00:13:59,470
By a dolt like me.
322
00:13:59,510 --> 00:14:00,970
Alex,
323
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,400
this one grade
has really changed you.
324
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,940
What happened to that...
That grandiose, self-important,
325
00:14:07,970 --> 00:14:10,010
pompous kid
we knew and loved?
326
00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:15,710
That happy-go-lucky guy
is gone, Dad.
327
00:14:21,310 --> 00:14:24,210
Uh, uh, I'm studying!
328
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,740
But, uh, you can come on in.
329
00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:35,410
I t...
I thought it was Mom or Dad.
330
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:38,510
No. No.
It's just me.
331
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:40,480
You can go back to doing
whatever you were doing.
332
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,310
Ah, it's just as well.
333
00:14:42,350 --> 00:14:44,350
I guess I should
be studying.
334
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,180
What are you doing here?
335
00:14:49,820 --> 00:14:51,820
What do you mean,
what am I doing here?
336
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:53,820
Mallory, I'm, uh...
I'm your brother.
337
00:14:53,850 --> 00:14:55,350
You're my sister.
338
00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:57,520
I just came up
to see how you're doing.
339
00:14:57,550 --> 00:14:59,620
Well, I spent
all my allowance money
340
00:14:59,650 --> 00:15:02,300
and you're not pawning
any of my jewelry.
341
00:15:02,340 --> 00:15:04,950
No, really, I just
came up here to, uh...
342
00:15:04,990 --> 00:15:06,390
To visit you.
343
00:15:08,020 --> 00:15:09,290
What, uh...
What do you got there?
344
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,060
Uh, chemistry.
345
00:15:12,090 --> 00:15:14,750
Chemistry.
346
00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:17,960
I remember chemistry.
Got an A in it.
347
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:21,630
I remember As.
348
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:26,660
You don't look so good, Alex.
349
00:15:26,690 --> 00:15:28,530
I don't feel so good,
Mallory.
350
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:34,000
You know, I got my, uh,
first college paper back today.
351
00:15:34,030 --> 00:15:37,660
The, uh... The professor
said it was long-winded
352
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:41,300
and totally lacking
in any meaningful insight.
353
00:15:42,930 --> 00:15:45,800
He, uh, gave me an, uh...
354
00:15:45,830 --> 00:15:46,930
An...
355
00:15:48,430 --> 00:15:50,360
An...
356
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,300
An F.
357
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,180
Really?
358
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:56,830
An F?
359
00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:58,600
That's right.
360
00:15:58,630 --> 00:16:00,500
An F!
361
00:16:00,530 --> 00:16:03,370
That's great, Alex!
362
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,430
Mallory, take it easy,
will you?
363
00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:09,070
This is supposed to be
bad news, not good news.
364
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:11,270
Oh, it is bad news, Alex.
365
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:13,570
I'm...
I'm really sorry about it.
366
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,610
Do you mind if
I make a few phone calls?
367
00:16:22,110 --> 00:16:24,240
You know, uh,
368
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:27,070
I've never gotten an
369
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:29,810
F.
F before.
370
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,310
You know,
for that matter,
371
00:16:31,340 --> 00:16:34,810
I've never even gotten
a C or... Or a D.
372
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,610
I got a B once
in health.
373
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,210
Because I, uh, boycotted
the sex-education films.
374
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,810
You missed some great stuff.
375
00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:52,650
You know, Mallory,
376
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,020
my days as an academic star
are, uh...
377
00:16:55,050 --> 00:16:56,610
Are over.
378
00:16:56,650 --> 00:16:57,880
From now on at school,
379
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,580
I'm just gonna
be one of the pack.
380
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:03,020
A nobody.
381
00:17:03,050 --> 00:17:05,580
Just another slug
382
00:17:05,620 --> 00:17:09,090
fighting to keep
my head above water.
383
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:10,150
How do you handle it?
384
00:17:12,290 --> 00:17:13,850
Thanks a lot, Alex.
385
00:17:13,890 --> 00:17:15,120
No, no, Mallory.
Come on, I...
386
00:17:15,150 --> 00:17:17,040
I didn't mean it like that.
It's just...
387
00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:18,890
Well, you've got...
You've got to admit,
388
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,090
you have a little more
experience in this area
389
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:23,090
than I do.
390
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:25,860
I gotta know,
h- how does it feel to...?
391
00:17:25,890 --> 00:17:28,090
To not do well
in school?
392
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:31,690
Well, it's kind of hard
to describe.
393
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,520
Well, for instance, when, uh...
When you're taking a test,
394
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,860
do you, uh...? Do you
just not know the answer, or...?
395
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:39,960
Or is it that you
knew the answer once
396
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,610
and just have difficulty
in retrieving it?
397
00:17:42,650 --> 00:17:45,230
Or do you just not understand
the questions?
398
00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:47,890
No, see,
when I'm taking the test,
399
00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:50,630
I really do try to
understand the question.
400
00:17:50,660 --> 00:17:52,730
But then I get
this strange feeling.
401
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:54,890
What, like a headache?
402
00:17:54,930 --> 00:17:58,630
No, no, no.
Not a headache exactly.
403
00:17:58,660 --> 00:18:01,970
Everything just goes
kind of gray, you know?
404
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,270
And then my mind
starts wandering.
405
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:11,070
Well, uh, what
do you think about?
406
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:12,470
Boys.
407
00:18:14,370 --> 00:18:16,800
Well, let's hope
it's different for me.
408
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,040
Hey, you're really gonna
drop the course, huh?
409
00:18:23,070 --> 00:18:25,140
Yeah. Yeah.
410
00:18:25,170 --> 00:18:26,500
You want me
to wait in the car?
411
00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:27,470
No, uh,
412
00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:29,510
go home, Doug.
413
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,570
Uh...
414
00:18:36,770 --> 00:18:38,760
Uh, Mr. Bronski?
415
00:18:38,790 --> 00:18:40,710
Yes, Mr. Keaton.
416
00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:42,740
Uh, I just wanted to say
417
00:18:42,780 --> 00:18:46,440
how much I've enjoyed
your course.
418
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,040
Uh, but I'm dropping it.
419
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,610
Scheduling conflict?
420
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:52,680
No. No, I, uh...
421
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:56,180
I just don't think
I'm capable of handling it.
422
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:58,530
I mean, I got an F
423
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:00,810
on my paper and all.
424
00:19:00,850 --> 00:19:03,880
I just think that I
should stick to subjects
425
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,300
where I'm on surer ground,
you know?
426
00:19:06,330 --> 00:19:08,680
Where I know what I'm...
I'm doing.
427
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,120
Anyway, it...
It, uh...
428
00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:14,850
It has been an honor
to meet you, sir.
429
00:19:14,890 --> 00:19:17,150
Goodbye.
430
00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:20,500
Mr. Keaton.
431
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:22,580
Yes, sir?
432
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:24,890
I'm just curious, um,
433
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:28,020
do you think he should
have gone to prison?
434
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:29,050
Who?
435
00:19:29,090 --> 00:19:30,050
Eugene Debs,
436
00:19:30,090 --> 00:19:32,550
for making
that anti-war speech
437
00:19:32,590 --> 00:19:34,090
in 1917.
438
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:36,990
Uh, well, Oliver Wendell Holmes
thought so.
439
00:19:37,020 --> 00:19:38,520
He said that, uh, Debs' speech
440
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,820
posed a clear and present
danger to the country.
441
00:19:42,490 --> 00:19:45,660
Um, goodbye.
442
00:19:45,690 --> 00:19:47,890
But do you think so?
443
00:19:47,930 --> 00:19:48,890
Me?
444
00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:50,330
Yes, you.
445
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,190
Well, I don't know.
I mean, uh,
446
00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:56,080
it's just my opinion.
447
00:19:56,110 --> 00:19:57,890
But from what I read,
448
00:19:57,930 --> 00:20:00,200
it didn't seem that one
anti-war speech
449
00:20:00,230 --> 00:20:01,560
could have hurt the country.
450
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,130
Uh, goodbye.
451
00:20:07,060 --> 00:20:08,100
Mr. Keaton.
452
00:20:08,130 --> 00:20:10,500
This is not
an easy room to leave.
453
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,170
What if word of that speech
had spread
454
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,730
and, uh, draftees
by the millions,
455
00:20:17,770 --> 00:20:19,330
swayed by Debs' words
456
00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:21,330
had decided
to resist the draft?
457
00:20:21,370 --> 00:20:24,300
What if Debs had aroused
the entire nation
458
00:20:24,340 --> 00:20:26,400
against the war?
459
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,700
Yeah, but that didn't happen.
460
00:20:27,740 --> 00:20:30,500
I'm asking you
to suppose it had.
461
00:20:32,140 --> 00:20:35,340
All right. Okay.
Uh, suppose it had.
462
00:20:35,370 --> 00:20:38,040
If the majority of the people
hold a certain opinion, then...
463
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:39,540
Then the government
has an obligation
464
00:20:39,570 --> 00:20:40,870
to listen to them, right?
465
00:20:40,910 --> 00:20:42,440
Am I to believe
466
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:44,410
that you feel Debs
had a right
467
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,340
to make that
anti-war speech?
468
00:20:46,380 --> 00:20:50,010
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
469
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,370
I mean, the guy was not
blowing up factories.
470
00:20:52,410 --> 00:20:54,010
He...
He made a speech.
471
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,710
You know, he...
He was presenting ideas.
472
00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:56,840
Ideas incite people.
473
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,540
Of course
ideas incite people.
474
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:02,610
Ideas are supposed
to incite people.
475
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,050
Isn't that the whole reason
we have the First Amendment?
476
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,480
So that people can be
exposed to different ideas
477
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:09,350
and then act on the ones
they agree with?
478
00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:11,180
In other words,
you feel that Debs' case
479
00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:12,380
was decided wrongly.
480
00:21:12,410 --> 00:21:15,680
You disagree with
Oliver Wendell Holmes,
481
00:21:15,710 --> 00:21:17,850
one of the most brilliant
legal minds in history.
482
00:21:19,220 --> 00:21:20,310
No.
483
00:21:20,350 --> 00:21:22,420
Yes, you do!
You just said so!
484
00:21:22,450 --> 00:21:23,710
You disagree with him!
485
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:25,350
All right!
I disagree with him.
486
00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:27,880
What do you want
from me?
487
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,650
What I want from you,
Mr. Keaton,
488
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,890
is for you to put some
of that kind of analysis,
489
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,790
some of that kind
of meaningful insight
490
00:21:34,820 --> 00:21:36,120
into your essays.
491
00:21:36,150 --> 00:21:38,690
I want you to stand up for
what you believe to be true,
492
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,950
even if it conflicts
with Oliver Wendell Holmes
493
00:21:40,990 --> 00:21:44,360
or with the
Framers of the Constitution,
494
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:46,520
or even with me.
495
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,030
You have every right to drop
this class, Mr. Keaton,
496
00:21:57,060 --> 00:22:00,090
stick to those subjects
where you're more comfortable
497
00:22:00,130 --> 00:22:03,090
and on surer ground.
498
00:22:03,130 --> 00:22:05,660
Although, I must say,
that's a rather dull way
499
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,360
for such an
intelligent young man
500
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,030
to live his life.
501
00:22:17,130 --> 00:22:19,660
He called me
an intelligent young man.
502
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:22,200
Of course,
he also called me dull.
503
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,770
But he did call me
intelligent.
504
00:22:30,570 --> 00:22:33,630
Efrem Bronski called me
an intelligent young man.
505
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,230
Hey, uh, professor.
506
00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:40,230
Professor Bronski.
Yeah, it's, uh... It's...
507
00:22:40,270 --> 00:22:44,100
It's me, uh, Alex Keaton.
The intelligent young man.
508
00:22:44,140 --> 00:22:45,640
Listen, professor...
509
00:22:45,670 --> 00:22:49,670
Uh, prof... Professor, could you
stop for a minute, please?
510
00:22:49,710 --> 00:22:52,100
Uh... Uh, profes...
511
00:22:52,140 --> 00:22:55,140
Listen,
I- I-I never got an F before
512
00:22:55,170 --> 00:22:58,140
and... And...
And it kind of threw me.
513
00:22:58,180 --> 00:23:00,070
But I am not a quitter
and...
514
00:23:00,110 --> 00:23:02,910
And I think I understand now
what you want from me.
515
00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:05,410
Uh... Uh, ma'am?
516
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,840
Uh, ma'am, could you
go around the corner there
517
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,280
and... And tell that guy
that I am staying in his class?
518
00:23:12,610 --> 00:23:14,510
No, no. Not him.
Not him, the other guy.
519
00:23:14,550 --> 00:23:16,640
The other guy.
520
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,610
Forget it. Forget it.
521
00:23:18,650 --> 00:23:20,550
I think he heard me.
522
00:23:24,450 --> 00:23:26,380
I love college.
