dennis weaver stars as a man

cut you're fired fluffing it next

welcome to this premiere presentation of

nabisco showcase

whose guarded secret may spell the end

of his career

family and friends in the dramatic story

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

what's up i don't know i left my reading

glasses home again

what does it say ah

worker replacement plan modification

seminars will begin monday

to help supervisors gain cooperation

from the floor personnel

when the layoffs begin now schedule a

stellar week for monday i don't think

this was meant for me

hey thanks for sharing this is all our

jobs

are talking about not yours jackie boy

you can get calluses on your pinkies

well the rest of us get calluses on our

butts down the canary

hey going up to a nicer guy hey

whoa get back to work hey

good luck

i'll rescue you to give him help jack's

a loser

[Applause]

get out there

[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

you're not being uh if you're not honest

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

all right

push enter

jack push enter

all right when ready appears

type start

jack type start

[Applause]

you get paid for doing what you love

dad come on it's baseball jack

jack come on dad it's baseball all right

all right

sorry it's okay

believe me there was a time when coaches

didn't have to double as teachers

but with all the cutbacks we've had to

make compromises yeah i understand

well you're more understanding than i

we've gone from the best

record in the school league across the

board

to one of the worst you're up there

aren't you yeah

52-53 two years

it's impressive had my battles

mr dugan could you teach shop

shop

i can take a part and put together any

machine you put in front of

make anything you want

i missed a shop ever since mr white went

into the hospital we've been doubling up

shop classes

huh what exactly happened between you

and the steel plant they got rid of the

shot pot

see fuel is pulled into the combustion

chamber

or d none of the above so after you

finish the last question

pass your papers to the right and i'll

correct them while you inspect the

engines

congratulations

but explain something you went to

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

so all of a sudden trucking look very

good

it'll work out

i didn't want it to be like this with my

family

jack your father was an sob forgive me

long before he ever drove a truck

driving didn't make him

no no hey you're on the road alone away

from your family

i wanted my kids to know me

know you

yeah they don't and i was here

i don't get along anyway so what the

heck i'll drive

dad so what happened at school

well sunday uh they wanted me to

teach shop man i'm just not cut out for

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

again

dad the school's perfect it's not

perfect i wanted to coach but to think i

could teach that's stupid

why why can't yes rusty

damn it i don't have to answer to you

it's just stupid okay

everything i do you think is stupid

the detroit 1300 transmission

is set up five by four

when transmission one is in first gear

honey

which one oh that one uh

white noise that's a good one

white noise by russell dugan

white noise noise you don't hear

but noise that's always there now as you

don't hear but it's always there that

is so good i bet his teacher didn't even

get that

why don't you talk to him about it told

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 a summer fan whirring all day

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

introducing quackers little ducks with a

lot of flavor

so now all the cheddar cheese flavor of

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

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

well rusty's been childish

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

able to see it

are the coming attractions

there's a whole new life waiting for him

i think he'll still want the old one

of course boy

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

how can i write a four or five line

story i can't even read four or five
