Yeah, I'm not really sure why we're doing this, but to me it feels like a

bit of an invasion of my privacy.

David, please read quietly. I have work to do. Okay? Turn around.

Sir, I have a question. What is act utilitarianism?

Sir?

Sir? Oh, question? Sorry.

What is act utilitarianism? Oh, act utilitarianism. Let me think.

Oh, that's the theory which states that a person's act is morally right if it

creates as much happiness as possible under the circumcisions.

Circumstances. I say circumcisions. Under the circumstances.

Okay. Any other questions, let me know. I might not know all the answers, but

there's a good chance I know a lot of them. Okay.

Keep reading. Thank you.

I'm awesome.

No, you're not, dude. Don't lie.

I'm awesome. I'm driving around in my mom's ride. I'm awesome. A quarter of my

life gone by.

I'm awesome. I would like to solve the puzzle.

Is it a student election this week?

As you know, the Digital Media Club is documenting the school elections as part

of their class project.

I've given them full access to the school, and I want to thank you all for

agreeing to be filmed.

Yes, sir. I don't remember agreeing to do that. Special thank you to Ms. Mason.

Her grade 8 class is studying the electoral process, and she's agreed to

the class filmed. I'm really excited about it, sir.

Okay, that's it. Teach hard.

Duncan, can I have a word? Please. For what?

I would like you to be the teacher liaison for the student council this

No, that's Lisa's job. Her plate is full. There's no one else available.

I got my plate full. I'm coaching basketball.

It's not a big -time commitment.

The student council does most of the work. All you have to do is be there,

them, answer a few questions.

I think it would be a good fit. The students connect with you. Can you say

to the camera?

Can you do it? Yes, I will do it for the students. Good.

The greatest gift of all, children are our future.

Teach them well.

Have you seen this?

Alomar for Fred. Classic.

Oh, will you just relax, Robert? It's a harmless joke. Is it?

Well, the joke ends today.

Every year, some anarchist has tried to get Roberto Alomar elected to student

council. I don't care if he's some golden -glove -wearing baseball slugger.

They're making a mockery of the democratic process.

A demockery. The Alomar movement is bigger than you. It's bigger than all of

Not anymore, it's not.

No, you don't. Yes, I do. No, you don't. Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

It's your fault.

Your attention, please.

Roberto Alomar is not running in the student council election.

Furthermore, any Alomar...

posters, or other paraphernalia will be confiscated and you will automatically

be given a week's detention.

Thank you. I am Team Alamar all the way.

Now there are three of us.

I'm looking for a book on the history of the electoral process.

That's not it.

Sorry, would you mind putting the books on the tubey shelf cart when you're done

with them?

Oh!

I just took it off for a second, though. I know. It's just that library policy

clearly states that books are to be reshelved exclusively by a librarian.

I mean, I wouldn't go into your classroom and just shuffle all your

around, so... Okay, I put it back in the exact same... Lisa!

Why don't you just follow the process?

I'm Natalie, student council president, three years and running.

Well, it's going to be three years. I don't lose.

Enough.

Sir?

Natalie, you can't hang outside the staff washroom like that, okay?

Okay, sorry, Mr. Duncan.

How would you like it if I hung outside the girls' washroom all day and waited

for you?

I'll never do that.

I thought we should go over our schedule for the new school year. I don't need a

schedule to be a role model. I think you might, sir. There's a lot of meetings

to keep track of.

Why would we have meetings? And secondly, you haven't even won anything

jump in the gun a little bit?

Just getting a head start since I'm going to win.

I always do. No one ever runs against me.

Mr. Callahan said you do whatever you could to help me.

Bye, sir.

Not doing this.

Monday morning planning sessions.

Fridays after school, weekly wrap -up. No.

Skype and scones.

It's pronounced scone.

Never wonder what kind of students we don't like.

Perfect example.

Sir, in case you lose it, I have another.

So, do you see what I see? Or rather, don't see, take a look.

No, Alomar. Oh, no, there's Alomar over there.

Just kidding. There isn't any. You know why?

Because people respond to a strong leader, which is what I am. When I lay

the law, people listen.

That's respect.

I don't particularly have anything against Natalie.

Really? Do I like her?

No. Do I want to teach kids like that?

Which camera? There's two of you now?

Do I want to listen to her throughout this whole election? I do not.

And if nobody runs against her, she's going to win by acclimatization.

So, to win by acclimation means to win without opposition.

Very funny.

Who drew this?

And I'm serious. I want to know who drew that picture.

Very clever. Who also took all of my erasers. That's great.

When I find out who drew this picture and wasted class time, they are in big

trouble.

I just really want to get this done.

Jimmy DeGrazia.

Hi.

What do you think about running for student council president this year? Why

would I do that?

This is my last year of high school.

If you say so.

I just want to concentrate on graduating and getting it.

But do you really think you're going to get into university with the grades you

have? I didn't think about that.

So if you want to get into a real university, you've got to put something

that application that jumps out, because your grades don't jump out, and that

thing is student council president.

I guess so, but it's in two days, right? It's a popularity contest. You've been

here six years, Jimmy.

You're the most popular kid in the school. This is easy.

Yeah, well... Right?

I don't know. It seems like a lot of work. That's the good thing.

You don't have to do any work. Once you're president, you just give

else the work to do for you. Right, like how you get up to grade our own papers

during class times.

Look, that's what great leaders do. We delegate.

You think Obama cuts the lawn at the White House? No, he has somebody do that

for him. He does nothing.

Easiest job in the world.

You can be President Jimmy.

Ha, ha, ha.

President Jimmy.

What's up? Here to stay.

Also, don't forget that the student council elections are two days away, so

sure you vote.

And in case you haven't heard, our good friend Jimmy here is now running for the

position of student council president. So, who's voting for Jimmy?

One person.

I mean, I guess I thought I was popular, you know. I babysat a lot of them.

Thought that would do it. I don't know. Can I go?

I have tons of friends. Yeah? Where are they?

College. College?

Oh, my God. Get out.

Okay.

All right.

You guys get out, too. I've had enough of this stupid school project.

Can I speak to you for a second, please?

Yes.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Exactly. While I'm putting posters all over the school?

Oh, yeah, the posters your grade eights did during class time. Doesn't matter. I

had them done, all right? This election is tomorrow, and you've done absolutely

nothing. Because you said I don't have to do anything, so... You said you were

popular, so we both lied. If you want to get into university, remember what we

said? You want to get in, Jimmy?

Yeah. You got to do something, all right?

Have you done a speech?

Mm -mm. No speech? No.

I told you you need to do a speech in front of the whole school.

All right? You have to promise a bunch of stuff. It doesn't matter what it is.

Just promise a bunch of crap, and they will buy it.

I've never written a speech before. I don't know where to start. Fine. I'll

write a speech.

Come here for a second.

Excuse us.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Not now.

I need you to get some dirt on this Natalie girl. Otherwise, she's going to

my life hell if she wins this thing. I don't know her. I don't know anything

about her.

She's too geeky. That's what finding dirt means. You dig. You look around.

ask questions.

I heard she's allergic to peanut butter.

And I could flip some into her locker.

Why don't you just blow her head off, Jimmy? I said get dirt.

You don't kill her.

Hey, guys.

Hello.

So, how was your day yesterday?

Oh, it was good.

The kids are really excited about the election.

Erase much?

What? Oh, I was just wondering if you erased much yesterday.

I'm just wondering if maybe you borrowed my erasers and forgot to put them

back. Wow.

No need to make a scene.

Okay, Emma, if you have a problem with me, I would love to sit down and talk it

out.

I don't have a problem.

But I can see that you're really upset.

And you should be. I mean, I would be really upset if someone came into my

classroom and messed it up.

What some teachers don't understand is that the library

is my classroom.

These books are my students. And at the end of the day, it's all about the

children.

Libraries are pretty useless anyways.

Most of us just look it up on the Internet.

Vote for Jimmy, right? Tell everybody.

Girls, Jimmy.

I heard Jimmy's gaining ground in the student election. And you know what?

for Jimmy because he's been here a long time and he's never really had anything

to sort of do.

So it's nice. It's nice for him and... Oh!

Did you hear that?

Jimmy's gaining ground. So now it is a two -person race.

Sir. You're the student council liaison.

You shouldn't be taking sides. Who's taking sides? I'm just happy to see a

fellow student do well.

And I don't want you to win, so let Dougie think into your head.

So what are you going to do? Oh, Natalie, don't vote for the sore loser.

I wouldn't. Well, suffice to say, the Alamar insurgency has been quashed.

They said I couldn't do it.

They said I didn't have it in me.

Some of them even said I was an idiot.

You are an idiot, Robert. Not now.

Let the record show.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

What the... Who are you?

Have you seen Jimmy?

Uh, yeah.

Okay, do you want to tell me where you've seen him?

Check the back.

Okay. Is that so hard?

Sorry to bother you, grumpy.

Jimmy, can I speak to you in private, please?

Sure.

It's okay. I gotta be going anyway. Okay.

A lot more campaigning to do. Yeah, see ya.

Oh, Natalie!

What are you doing?

Please tell me why you're talking to her.

I was digging up information. That's what you told me to do. That's not

up information.

Holding her hand?

Well, the more I found out, the more I liked her. Oh, my God. You like her? How

is that even possible?

It turns out she's actually pretty cool. We just clicked. And I would have never

asked her out if it wasn't for you.

So, thank you.

I should have gone with the peanut butter idea.

Hey, do you guys find Emma a little strange?

What do you mean?

Well, I'm pretty sure she stole my eraser.

That.

Don't you find that weird? Check it out. Emma brought cupcakes again.

She's great, isn't she? Those are velvet.

Yeah, her secret is love and a whole lot of art.

Guys, do you not find this strange?

She snuck into my room and stole all my erasers. Why is this not bothering

anyone? She made cupcakes.

Just get another eraser.

Problem solved.

Those look terrible.

Jimmy, Natalie, what can I do for you two?

It's okay, Jimmy. I'm here for you. Tell him. All right.

I'm out.

I just can't run against my girlfriend.

Hoes before bros, right?

The expression is bros before hoes.

Students. Oh, well, it sucks that we're not bros.

Come on, Jimmy. I told you he wouldn't understand.

You know you can stop smiling.

Because I can easily talk him into running again.

Can you?

Because I can talk him out of anything.

I've been class president for two years in a row for a reason, sir.

My mother says I'm very focused, and if I want something, I don't stop until I

get it.

And I don't let anything stand in my way.

You caught all that, didn't you? You caught that. You need to show that to

Jimmy. I want you to take the camera and show it to Jimmy.

Hey, guys.

I think Emma went into my classroom yesterday, and I was just wondering if

might have any footage of that.

Did you not see me standing here doing something?

Sorry to interrupt.

Yeah. Oh, that's a little late.

Give me the footage.

Stupid permanent marker.

Yes. Of course, I could get another eraser, but it's not about the eraser,

it?

That woman is nuts.

Someone is running a fake Roberto Alomar campaign around the school.

So forgive me for thinking I should maybe start by eliminating the usual

suspects. No offense.

Tons taken. Is this seriously why you called me into your office?

It's exactly why, Trudy.

You've always been a bit of a wild card. I'm not going to take my chances with

you. Okay.

I'm going to go because I have actual work to do.

So long as you know that I am going to be keeping an eye on you.

You and every other man I meet.

Wow.

Is that a bat in your hand? Oh, it is a bat. Wow.

Missed. Get out.

Jimmy, stop.

Stop.

Natalie for press. Great.

You don't get it, do you? She wants you to drop out of the election and vote for

her and let her win so that she wins.

And I'm stuck with her for the year. That is exactly what she said you'd say.

Oh, my God, you're buying this. She's too smart. She's too smart and you're

stupid. Oh, my God.

Thanks for nothing.

This book needs to go in the cart.

Reese has really lost it, huh?

Oh, it's way off the cart.

What do you say we go get a couple of cold ones, okay?

Then maybe we can pick up a couple of hot ones.

Hey,

how's it going, Robert?

How's it going?

Did you get them all? You tell me.

What the...

Re -elect me as student council president? The answer is threefold.

One. I still don't know why I'm doing this. I told you it's a great thing to

have on a resume, and you get to be a leader, and you get to have people work

underneath you.

And?

And I'll give you an extra week on your independent study project.

What week?

Week and a half.

Three.

You can't go up the other way.

I got no deal then. Fine. Three weeks.

Just read the speech.

that a vote for Natalie is a vote for Xavier.

Thank you.

Now we'll hear from our next candidate, David Alexander.

Hey, oh, hi, David.

Didn't even know he was in the running.

What up, Xavier?

What up?

I could give you a long, boring speech like the other candidates, but I'm not

going to waste your time.

All you need to know is a vote for me.

Is a vote for Fridays off, free burger Tuesdays, and casual Wednesdays. No

shirts, no shoes, no problem.

I have a two -part question. One, how will we complete the standardized

curriculum in a four -day week?

And two, has Mr. Callahan agreed to Fridays off?

Not exactly, CEO.

Right as it happens again.

Is that all you got?

Didn't work, didn't work.

Mr. Malik!

I think I got the last Alamar poster this time.

What happened to your fingers?

Never mind.

Have a good evening, Mr. Cheney.

All clear?

You ready?

I'd like to call the meeting to order. Can I get a second?

Wonderful.

So, Mr. Duncan, Lana needs you to attend the school fundraising meeting. It's

next Tuesday at 7 a .m. It's not happening.

Notice.

We also really need to revamp the school constitution.

Which weekend works for everyone?

Okay, just so we're clear, I'm not doing any weekend meetings, morning meetings,

after school, nothing.

I'll do 15 minutes during my lunch, once a week, only if it's necessary, and I

deem it necessary.

What about our weekly fun run? It's 10K.

You guys do a weekly 10K fun run, do you?

We don't run.

Kilometers? Are you kidding me?

Sorry.

Inside joke with the student council.
