Teacher

They make you give in.

Eat their poison, bit by bit.

Years pass.

The shame changes nothing

but its clothes.

Ah!

No, no!

Come on. Today, you drown, faggot.

No, God, please!

Let me go, please!

No! No!

I changed my mind.

You can drown tomorrow.

He hath disgraced me

and hinder-ed me

half a million

laugh-ed -

It's 'laughed', Bill.

Punctuation is different,

it's just pronounced the same.

Oh. Okay.

That was... good.

Okay, who's next?

Mocked at my gains

scorned my nation

thwarted my bargains...

Somebody likes to open their mouth for teacher.

Aided my enemies.

What was that, Tim?

Oh, nothing, Mr. Lewis.

We were just talking about the play.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, what's the title of the play that we're reading?

Uh.

Yeah, okay.

Who's next?

Daniella?

You can do it.

Is it okay if I don't, Mr. Lewis?

Just read a little bit.

Everybody reads.

And what's

his

reason...

B-b-brain damage.

Excuse me?

The next person who disrupts another student reading

can hock and yuck their way

all the way down to Vice Principal Olsen's office.

Got it?

I forgot, short period.

Okay, Act Three next time, folks.

Chica needs to learn her englaciona.

Hey, Mr. Lewis.

Is it still okay if I take pictures later for the paper?

Of course.

I'll be there, okay?

Thanks, Mr. Lewis.

What can I do for you, Daniella?

I was wondering if, if

there was any extra -

Hey, hey, stop! Right now! Come on!

Stop! What happened?

What happened?

Preston?

I-I didn't see anything.

You don't have to worry about him.

What happened?

Tim started it.

Fuck you!

That is enough!

Against that wall.

Come on, against that wall.

Juan over there.

Back to class.

I'm sorry Daniella, let me write you a pass, okay?

We'll talk later.

Let's go, now. Get your stuff.

What's it to be, gentlemen?

You think my hallways are the place

for UFC auditions?

I guess you want a six-month summer vacation.

Get suspended?

No sir.

I could expel you for this, young man.

But if you can grow up for five seconds,

apologize and shake hands,

I'll talk it over with your parents.

It's your decision.

Sorry.

It's cool.

Alright. Get a pass from the desk.

Don't quote me, but paddles were invented

for kids like that.

Maybe you shut them up for a while.

Harold, can I ask how things are looking for me?

Enjoy the uncertainty.

After tenure, you'll be stuck here forever.

Are you sure Tim threw the first punch?

Yeah, one of my student witnessed it.

He's honest.

Tim actually picks on him a little bit.

Well that's great, it just turned scouting season, too.

Idiot.

Straight at him, Tim!

I've got to get back to work.

Yeah.

You can come inside, you know.

I didn't want to bother anyone.

We're not wildlife.

Well, except for Tim Cooper.

You should go sit next to Daniella.

Come on, give her some pointers on her homework.

Hey, um. Mr. Lewis said it would be okay if I came up here

to take some pictures?

Yeah, that's fine.

Are you here for Mr. Lewis?

My brother drives me.

Ooh. Amigo. Nice.

That's a really cool camera.

Thanks, it's my dad's, but I'm the only one

who knows how to use it.

Because you're like a genius, right?

You're probably smarter than me.

That's so stupid.

No it's not.

What part are you on?

A major point of friction

at our last session was the house.

We've agreed to equal distributions.

We asked for a full vacancy by May.

School's still in session.

Look, I'm working and I'll be moved out

within a few days.

It's second semester.

I'm in ACT Prep, Finals, I've got my tenure.

I'm being really nice about this, James,

considering the way you've been.

Look, Sarah, I'm not saying that we were

Ozzie and Harriet, okay, but it's not like

I ever touched you.

God, no, you just punched holes in walls.

That happened one time.

I was terrified and you...

I am, I'm done, I'm done.

With your mood swings, and the drinking,

and I need this to be over with,

and I need you to be out of that house, please.

I'm sorry.

Sorry that

this divorce isn't convenient for you.

I am sure, phoenix that you are,

you will rise from the ashes

and be just fine.

That'll be enough of that, Mr. Louis.

This isn't the life

we promised each other.

Ourselves.

The past is too present.

They say that we can never go home again.

In truth, we never leave.

Don't you worry about me and my job!

Of course I worry -

You don't have to worry about that.

I'm worried about it all the time!

Well of course, they're expecting you

because you're the town fucking drunk!

Ow!

Go ahead, you coward.

Say it again.

You're a fucking deadbeat, drunk, coward man

that's a piece of shit!

James?

Oh my God James, what happened to you?

I slipped and fell into a lake.

Dammit James, don't get it all over the house!

Come here!

Geez. Take this off.

Come on, hands up.

What really happened? Geez.

I wasn't looking.

Yeah, so what else is new?

Goddammit James.

If your father saw you like this,

God only knows what the hell he would do.

This is a brand new sweater!

I want to put this on the fridge, okay?

Okay, mom.

I wanted to get money, right?

Come here.

You're already there.

Might as well contribute.

Make it whole.

Make a whole fucking family.

Ow. Fuck.

I haven't seen you this year.

Car broke down.

Ooh, hey pussy.

Miss you buddy.

Preston the pussy.
