bluffing
nabisco showcase is brought to you by
nabisco we make products
that make friends and now
act one of bluffing it
up and down pleasant street with joe
and his new yellow wagon soon jack went
away there's as many reasons as there
are people like me
oh i suppose some people had parents who
wouldn't or couldn't help them
maybe their parents didn't speak english
or they moved around you know
changed schools a lot i know if my turn
was coming up to read aloud
i'd go to the bathroom disrupt class or
pretend to sleep
later on it wasn't much harder if the
tests were multiple choice any meaning
mighty mo would get me pretty far
of course cheating always helped a lot
and being a jock
they cut me a lot of slack it wasn't
hard to graduate
although many schools are doing a lot
about it now
i think i got past not for what i knew
jack but for how old i was
jack why don't you take up where daryl
left off
jack
said
keep reading jack
seems to me jack duken that a boy who's
missed all the school you have with all
your pneumonias should take advantage of
your health
but if you want to sleep fine just stay
home next time he's so
[Music]
stupid
foreign
all right
[Applause]
upstairs
[Music]
all right get out of here
it's got to be out of here
you're finally getting ready

glasses home again

worker replacement plan modification
seminars will begin monday

stellar week for monday i don't think
this was meant for me

butts down the canary

a loser
[Applause]

[Applause]
come on you gotta move you gotta
anticipate you gotta hit
you're playing like a girl out there
we're a minute away from winning aren't
we
winning losing you give a hundred
percent i understand you don't give a
hundred percent

we don't need your help
okay lottery change them up rusty
sit down
get him out of there
[Applause]
me
[Applause]
pride my child is one of the seven
deadly sins
yeah don't you fill up on that
[Music]
rusty hi congratulations
in the minnesota iron ore business
in the area sometimes i wonder if his
playing is so important if he's going to
feel beaten up after every game
hey you don't play you don't win if you
don't win you lose dukens don't lose
dudes don't lose we took them to the
cleaners
great so take your hands to the cleaners
and tell rusty too
uh monica and haley will be here any
minute be nice
to her friend simon he went to harvard
why couldn't you just stay married to
pat he was a good man
he was an alcoholic and a two-timing
house
this country was just going to keep
slipping further behind the japanese and
the koreans until management started
spending some money in modernization
you'll see there will come a time on the
assembly line when cars for example are
barely touched by human hands
simon works at synchrodine they make a
lot of the parts that go into the
robotics so what are you going to do
with the human hands that used to build
the cars huh
well they'll retrain oh yeah sure great
you
you take a 50 year old drill press
operator been on the job for 15 years
what are you going to retrain him in
jack
i read the paper i know about uh endemic
unemployment you don't have to go to
harvard to know about that
dad cool it okay forget it
sick of it all you hear about anymore
now rusty on the other hand he had a
good night tonight
he had two assists and if you'd skate a
little harder you'd had two goals
well rusty's not gonna have to worry
about robots taking his job
a robot can't be a writer or a teacher
some of the teachers i had when i was in
school i thought they were robots
now rusty he just doesn't want to do any
hard work that's all
teachers have the most important work
there is then sometimes the hardest
i was meaning he was too smart why do
you always have to side with him
because we both had to put up with you
monica your father's only teasing
and how come you always have to side
with him whose side am i on
you are a mummy side the best side i'm
gonna be on grandpa's side
15
start in a week anyone not given two
weeks notice it's gonna get paid the
difference
hey why don't they just tell us exactly
who is getting late yeah i'm gonna make
my reservations down at the canary
hey jack why don't they listen to you
hey i'm in the same boat as you guys
of course i haven't been out looking for
work in over 10 years
we got families you know i know
i'll speak up again we'll appreciate it
time to get to work cal
now watch it just what it says
why don't you show me how smart you are
and explain it tim
i'll talk to mr goldman i can't afford
to be out of work
neither can anybody else well i asked
him to take me off the line let me take
up this job hector's not coming back
you want to be a janitor well i need to
work
okay go find a broom
i thought they all had mailboxes
reserved down well
you won't catch me push people may
neither jack duggan
jack don't get to the office we better
get to work pete you're gonna have to
pull double now
yeah get mail jack so as production
foreman you'd
run the floor just like i do now but
instead of telling the men what to do
you just
tell the machines and you type it into
the computer
when the machines don't take an hour and
ten for lunch
i uh i don't type
jack all this is is hunt and pack
a couple of words a minute yeah i don't
think that's the problem is it chad
what do you mean i mean every time we
tried to promote you you turned us down
right and he color coded the line when
output went up by half he said no no no
my place is with the man on the floor
jack there just aren't gonna be that
many men on the floor
and you want me to run the thing that's
gonna throw em out
welcome to the future
i say the working man is losing jobs
because we're not competitive
so to make us competitive you get the
machines in here to do the work for us
we lose our jobs anyway we get the short
end coming and going
your profits go up profits is what we're
in business for
and i'll tell you this any job that's
done by brawn and no brains is done
better and cheaper by machines
any one of those guys will take this job
in a second now you know that
jack here's a great opportunity for you
you must know that too
your training begins next week look
through these
get familiar with them you'll see us
it's no big deal
i'm happy you're with us jack
i want this one so bad i can taste it
then you'll learn how when i can't read
a word of it
same way we used to honey come on let's
have a look
hi guys hey hey what's you got oh
what's this an a naturally
mr khan wants you to submit stuff to the
entry magazine oh that's wonderful
i don't suppose you have time to read it
well i'd love to but right now i've
i've got to work on this what what is
this
the pascal cobalt user's reference
manual are we getting a computer
no the factory's putting in robotics and
they have asked your father to run the
whole thing
wow that's great ted what's so great
about it
robotics it's it's like the future you
heard simon
oh please no really we have this
computer in mr stone's class and there's
this program that
simulates like workforce problems i
could help you with this
it's really cool
read this stuff beat us error on x bad
sector press escape it sounds like
asteroids
warning data exhausted fatal error what
do they do kill you if you make a
mistake
mr dogen you've just exhausted your dad
now you die i said put it down
sorry
i just stuck the damn book in my face
hi
he hates me he doesn't hate you
he doesn't like me he doesn't like the
way i play sports
he never reads my homework
my stories things i like he loves you
more than anything rusty
come on mom be honest that's that's
dad's big thing
be honest if you're not honest we don't
want
i am being honest
it's just that he's under a lot of
pressure right now he's always
under a lot of pressure
yeah well that's true ever since i've
known him
why did you marry him what
no really why
jack dugan
he was the catch of the school
i'm not kidding tall handsome
letterman funny guy
and he came after me
[Music]
i wasn't used to that kind of attention
i was what you would call a late bloomer
as a matter of fact the question i used
to ask myself was why he married me
i know i married you
[Music]
thank you
when two entries conflict
the program will act on the one entered
last
for example if you entered r and l for
right
and left then l will take effect
and r will be ignored wait a second wait
you
before you said r stood for row now how
do i know if it stands for rower for
right
uh we're probably coming to that you got
to just learn this page by page
page page no i'm not stupid
reorganize the whole assembly line
i increased their output 50 in one year
no wonder they want to promote me
deserve it
[Applause]
good now you can learn it at random
can't learn it at all
oh you can and you know it dugans don't
lose remember
there are 36 letters on the keyboard and
you have
10 days to figure them out it's not the
letters it's the words
you learned the bill of rights in a
weekend you remember the krebs acid
cycle you probably still do
jack there hasn't been anything you
couldn't do when we worked on it
together
except reading right two little faults
if i could just find the system
everything's got a system
great we will find the system
now go find page one
yes jack come on over with me to the
computer for a minute come on
i just got this new program it simulates
the line once we're in full service
well you just gave me that stuff
yesterday you said i had a whole week
don't get worried i'm just going to show
you how simple it all is look
i figured it out myself
i really gotta get back to the man hold
on the man
come on let's have some fun

rusty's school you came home with a
class one license what did i miss
well it was just a dumb idea to think i
could teach in school
it was just a dumb idea what was so dumb
well because if you want a coach you got
to teach a class teaching means books
books make me look stupid

good

family

that what do you mean of course you are
the kids are all grown so i'm going on
the road i'm going to drive tankers

perfect i wanted to coach but to think i
could teach that's stupid
why why can't yes rusty

white noise that's a good one
white noise by russell dugan

don't hear but it's always there that
is so good i bet his teacher didn't even
get that

him that i like him
hope i mean like that that shows how
much you think about them i can't get
into it that deep honey you'd find out
come on reid

like the tv caught between stations
like the conversations between husbands
and wives
and fathers and sons yeah
read another one read that new one that
he sent to the school magazine
direct victory yeah what's that very
victory
he won the game but lost the season
an offensive tackle clipped him in the
last quarter
his leg was broken his heart was broken
but his spirit was not broken
[Music]
thirty years later the goal posts
are steel the footballs are men
he is clipped from behind by an
offensive manager
but he doesn't drop the ball
his job is broken
his heart is broken
but his spirit is not broken
[Music]
but who will win the game
this evening's nabisco showcase starring
dennis weaver will be right back

magazine they don't sell cereal

popular cold cereals on nutrition
nabisco shredded wheat topped the
ratings because it was high in fiber and
protein
low in fat and had no added sugar or
salt

sit down please
follow my finger
what the hell do you think you're gonna
teach me
this is the biggest crock of bull i've
come across
in a long time now that
is writing you wrote it you chose the
words
you know the words you just don't know
how the letters these symbols
sound and you don't know the system
there's a system of putting these
symbols together but that's what you're
going to learn

teach you to read and write

you really accomplish something
okay yeah
very good
is all right
wow
isn't that a trick
how long is this going to take depends
on you
if you work hard and learn fast you
might be able to read something as
simple as a
a menu in a couple of months it could
take three years to read the boston
globe three years
crying out loud in three years i'll be
55 years old
well you can quit and in three years you
still be 55 but you won't be reading the
globe
how long would it take to read a
children's book you know if i wanted to
um it varies a lot could take two months
could take six
on now what would you say if i told you
that i made chocolate cream pie for
dessert

for a minute will you
this workbook is is mine
dad rusty it's true
i'm i'm learning to read
what are you saying i'm gonna spell it
out for you
huh i can't spell it out for you because
i can't read
and i can't write is he serious i'm dead
serious
so funny it's nothing to laugh at you
can't
read or write you got it you went to
school
and i can't read
i can't believe this well stop believing
that's ridiculous i've seen you in the
newspaper
lots of times what were you doing
staring at a newspaper why did you want
me to look stupid
stupid all this time you've been lying
to us
no i wasn't lying yes you were lying
both of you
honey
what about all those times you read to
haley
she was right
you weren't reading them right she knew
that's right she did how can you not
know how to read
you graduated high school honey
somewhere along the line i made a
mistake
or somebody did i i just didn't learn
okay at the time i knew i wasn't going
to get it i was in the sixth or seventh
grade well what
smart alley kid is going to say hey
teacher i can't read
i thought i was stupider than everybody
else but i also thought i was smarter
because
i was getting away with it
but it wasn't i mean the the teachers
knew some of them anyway
they pat my parents on the back say it's
okay
him in a tree
i guess i thought i was [ __ ] or
something he kept passing me
oh maybe i fooled a few of them
or maybe it was because i was uh
[Music]
a good kid that showed up every day
or maybe because i was was real social
or maybe because i was a joke and the
coaches wanted me
but definitely because
your mother was always there at every
hurdle
every corner helping me to get away with
it
so he graduates and it's it's over
it's too late
but it's not over you know it's not
over till it's over
and okay so now i'm learning to read
and especially getting back to haley
because
she's the only one that i haven't had a
chance to cheat yet not completely
anyway
and if if nothing else
before this thing is over i'm going to
learn to read my granddaughter's story

popular cold cereals on nutrition
nabisco shredded wheat topped the
ratings because it was high in fiber and
protein

salt

ever since dad told him he lied about
reading his acting like he's something
different
he's something different you've seen
when he's books
hey come on
can you imagine what it would be like to
i don't know to be to be blind and have
somebody say to you soon you will be

there's a whole new life waiting for him
i think he'll still want the old one

you're gone he and rusty don't talk he
doesn't need me anymore
there's a whole new life out there
what does he want with the old one
he loves you
you know that
relax try again i can't i'm telling you
i can't i've lost it
you studying too hard no i don't know
is uh everything okay at home
remember we talked about the messier
things about reading
but it sounds like you're going to play
all the positions like what
another big one i went through what
i grew up in jamaica plain ever been
there
not intentionally no yeah exactly well
not only did i think i was a dummy
because i couldn't read
but i also thought i was a dummy because
i was black
and i lived in the ghetto i mean who
brother tubby would live in such a place
right
i was a triple dub then alone
came on margie brooks she raised me from
a teenager
and she would say cal you're too smart
and black is too good to be throwing
your life away
i didn't buy that i mean black was bad
why that's what they put us in the
ghetto right
but she kept at it you're too smart cal
black's too good
make something of yourself so then she
found me this reading course and she put
me in it
and she was right
i am too smart and black is too good
so uh i know you don't think so on our
way to say
will you get out of my story
so anyway margie brooks just about saved
my life
but uh i haven't seen her in years cause
well it's crazy she was used to telling
me what to do
and i was starting to have ideas of my
own it was like you could uh
you could feel this shift of power in
the family
we fought over everything the same thing
is happening to me
she won't give me room to breathe she
says i'm drifting away and all i'm
trying to do is to stand on my own two
feet
it's my boy that's drifting away jack
reading
is power and it frightens people because
there is nothing that was ever written
down that you can't know
now they're used to the jack who needs
them to make a move but you're gaining
the freedom and the power
to control your own destiny
all i was trying to do was to read dr
seuss to my granddaughter
dr seuss's power too my friend
so why don't you write a four or five
line story on it for the next lesson
