All language subtitles for Mr. D s07e03 Gerry Cuts a Footloose

What are you guys still doing here? It's
9 .20.

I'm 20 minutes late.

Yesterday I was 15 minutes late, and you
didn't leave?

I thought today I'll be 20 minutes late.
Maybe they'll get it. Maybe they'll be

gone when I come in. So you want us to
leave?

This isn't what I want. It's what I want
for you.

It's what I want you to want. I want you
to want to leave. Look, when I was a

student in school, we had an unwritten
rule. A little student -teacher pact.

If a teacher was 15 minutes late, as
students, we left.

And we gave that teacher a nice little
break they didn't expect.

It's not something we talked about. It
just happened. Who sits and stares at

nothing for 20 minutes? There's nothing
on the board. Who does that?

Not leaders, followers.

You kids today, you don't take
initiative.

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going
to give you a chance to redeem yourself

tomorrow and be leaders.

I'm going to be 25 minutes late.

Write it down. Whatever you got to do.

When I come in, I didn't say leave.

Why would we leave? We're here to learn.
Oh, you're here to learn. Because you

haven't learned it.

It's been three days.

We can leave now if you want. No, that's
not the point. Then I look like the bad

guy. I thought maybe I'll come in late
and they'll leave and they'll do their

own thing. Now you're here.

Congratulations. Open your books.

I'm awesome.

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

I'm awesome. I'm driving around in my
mom's...

everyone. See you tomorrow morning.

Wow.

Hey, pretty sweet gig you got. When did
they add a DJ to the class?

It was just a trial run for a few days,
but enrollment hasn't been high, so this

is my last week here.

What a fine role in the class. Would
that keep you?

Probably not.

Well, you sounded great, so I'm sorry to
hear that. Thanks.

You're sweet.

Thanks.

Hey, here's a question. Would you ever
consider DJing a high school dance?

I'd love to.

I've been trying to break into the high
school market for years. It's so

competitive. So competitive. Well, I
happen to teach at Xavier, and we're

a dance, and the DJ, just like I got a
text like five minutes ago, that he

do it. That would be amazing.

When is it? It's next Friday.

Oh.

Can't make it. Which is this Friday,
because that's the next Friday. That

Perfect. Yeah. Thanks so much. You're
welcome. Thank you. Six o 'clock, Xavier

Academy. See you there.

Ginger. Jerry with a G.

Ginger with a G. G &G Music Factory.

What's that?

G &G Music Factory.

And then I just took our initial...
Sorry, I've never heard of them. Bye,

Bye, Ginger.

Okay, okay. You got law of demand, where
there is an inverse relationship

between price and quantity demand.

You feel me? Then you got law of supply,
which is a fundamental principle that

states if all else is equal, an increase
in price results in an increase in

quantity supply.

And my budding learner is supply and
demand.

Any questions?

Come on. Put your phones away.

This is very important stuff.

The whole business world is driven by
supply and demand.

Anyone?

Yeah.

Brandon, my man.

Um, Mr. Beshara, is this all going to be
on the next test?

Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't it be?
Well, do you think you could repeat the

whole second half? Because I wasn't
listening to, I don't think, a word of

anything that you just said. I zoned
out. Anyone else zoned out?

Mr. Dwyer!

I caught these girls smoking in the
library. This is the third time.

has to be done.

You know smoking's bad for you? Give me
a break. It's not the end of the world.

As a matter of fact, it's the end of
many people's worlds.

I can find you some literature if you
care to read up on it. Readings for

losers.

Mr. Dwyer, isn't there something you
want to say?

Ladies, listen.

Stop smoking.

Don't do it again.

Get going to class.

I heard you were soft, but that was
ridiculous.

Look, kids will be kids.

Those spoiled brats need to be taught a
lesson before they burn down the whole

school. Come on, it's cool.

You are the vice principal.

Maybe you should start acting like one.

Life's still good.

Hit the dance, don't miss the dance.
Boys, be there to dance.

Guys, Dance Friday. Do not forget to
show up. Step in Dance Friday. Thank

I didn't know there was a dance this
week.

Yeah, that's because I just organized
it. If you need a DJ, my cousin can do

Read the flyer. I have a DJ who's way
better than your cousin.

You don't know my cousin? No, I don't
want to know your cousin. Just spread

word. Here, take some of these and pass
them out. Thank you.

No fun fair.

There's a dance.

I never hear of this.

I have recently taken two step classes,
perhaps.

Malik will attend the dance?

Yes, you will attend the dance because
who's going to clean up before and who's

going to clean up after?

Malik. Yeah. Hold me.

Malik.

Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. I was literally
just coming over here to put a poster up

for the dance right here. I'm really
hoping to get this bowman. I'm hoping to

have a dance.

I'm not even listening to you. You can't
just run around the school throwing

posters up. You have to have permission.
I have permission. Hold these. Help me

out. This is the dance the school has
been waiting for. All the information.

Okay? Are you coming?

My doctor's not going to like that.

Don't ask your doctor. Just come.

You sweat your ass off. You get some
energy going.

It's awesome, all right?

Okay? I want you there.

I'm watching for you. Give me those
flyers.

You get going.

Sorry, sir. You're right. Don't say
sorry.

I don't understand these kids.

I mean, I love teaching, and I love what
I teach. I put my heart and soul into

each lesson, but I'm faced with a sea of
dead eyes.

And that bothers you because?

I'm only reaching 20 % of my class.

Perfect. You're 100 % on track.

What? Look, you can never reach all of
the kids. Kids fall through the cracks.

That's just teaching.

That's not how I teach.

I want to reach them all.

That's adorable.

Listen, if there's one tactic that I've
observed over the years that can really

keep a teacher afloat, it's this.

Care less.

Aren't you the guidance counselor?

That's really bleak.

Yeah, you want to pay me?

Are you planning a date Friday?

Supposed to say dance. Charlie did that
one. He's not a good speller. Indeed.

It canceled. I banned dances.

You banned them when? When I took over
as principal.

Tasty treats, sultry beats, too tempting
a mix, Jerry.

Okay, Robert, that is ridiculous.

You know what's ridiculous, Jerry?

Teen birth.

You know when they occur?

Nine months after teen dances.

No dice.

You just made that up. You know what
you're going to have to make up? A

new flyers announcing that your dance is
canceled.

Or dates. Up to you. But you're not
going to do it on school hours. Okay,

but that's going to take a long time,
well past Friday, so why don't we just

this dance go?

Little dance, Jerry!

Final answer!

Thanks, Jerry.

Final answer.

Final answer.

Yeah, but love, love, love is on the
line.

He holds you down, but I know you want
to run.

Well, you're hot, hot, loaded like a
gun.

Hey, Ginger.

Hey, Jerry. I'm so excited about Friday.

Yeah, uh, about Friday. Stop right
there.

Y 'all ready for this?

For what?

I was up all night working on some new
beats I'm gonna drop at the dance.

You were going to say something. Yeah,
that Friday's on.

Still on. I'll see you on Friday.

Same schedule.

Same schedule. Nothing's changed.
Everything's on. The dance is still on.

Dance is still on.

No dance, Jerry.

Final answer.

Everybody spread the word. Dance Friday.

The best dance ever. Thank you.

Yeah, but...

Ladies, you're probably wondering why I
called you in again. Got the sense that

my message wasn't received last time we
spoke. We got your message. Did you get

ours?

Yawn. Look, if you're not going to
listen to me, well, maybe you're going

listen to Donna.

Who?

Get on your feet, bitches.

It's a word on the street.

If you ladies think smoking's cool.

Well, I had my first cigarette when I
was six.

Thirty years later, I put one out in the
face of your vice principal's ex -wife.

Now I'm serving a life sentence for her
murder because smoking kills.

How's that for cool?

Oh, my God.

That's so awful.

We're completely stunned.

You'd think we'd fall for that.

Did you actually try and scare us
straight?

Yeah. I told you this wouldn't work.

Kids these days are too desensitized.

We want to dance.

We want to dance.

We want to dance.

We want to dance.

We want to dance.

We want to dance. What is going on here?

Principal Cheely.

It's our right to dance.

And if you take that away from us, we
have nothing. Without dance, how is

Stephanie going to learn how to deal
with rejection?

Wait. Or how will Lucy learn to loosen
up and stop being so boring all the

Dance has been the foundation of human
connection since the very first school

opened in 1975.

They've always been a place for students
to connect with one another, for people

to fall in love, and teachers and DJs
become one.

Anything can happen.

So we are here to ask you to change your
mind so we can dance. Do it for the

Steffens.

Or the Lucys.

Or the...

We thought he was with you.

Why would he be with me? What, do you
think I bring teenagers to my work to

out all day?

I think he goes to my cousin's school.

Hey, who are you? I just want to dance.

Who here would ever dance? Mr. Duncan,
stay with the tour.

Though I enjoyed this show immensely,
the answer's still no.

And I don't want to hear another word
about the dance.

Okay, everybody.

It is learn time.

Who wants a phone? Oh, that's my phone.
I'm selling them for 60 bucks after

school. Who wants one?

Okay, good. Okay, good. Okay, good.

Looks like I'm going to make some
serious money here. But wait.

Some guy named Nick just opened up a
store across the street selling the same

phone for $55.

Hey, everybody.

It's Italian Nick.

Why buy from Mr. Bouchard when I'm
selling the same product for $5 less?

What are you doing to me, Italian Nick?

You're on my turf.

Bro, I gotta make a living.

Oh, come on, man. You're killing me.

It's just business, baby.

Now, I got a lot of supply, but no
demand.

So to stay competitive, I've got to
lower my prices. But I can't do it too

or it's going to affect my, oh my God,
profit.

Okay? So now, I've got to sell my phone
for $54.

Whose phone are you going to buy?

Nick's?

Or mine?

Okay.

Now you're starting to get supply and
demand.

So that's it? You're really giving up
that easy?

What do you guys want me to do? I asked
him once, he said no.

So then I went back and asked him again,
he said no.

I've done everything I can.

Dance is a band at the school.

Band at the school doesn't mean we can't
have a dance not at the school.

What?

Principal Cheely can stop us from
dancing here, but he can't stop us from

dancing. Well, where are we going to
dance?

I've got a place we can dance like
nobody's watching.

What? You do?

Then the dance is back on.

I love you, Stefan.

I have a girlfriend.

I didn't mean it like that.

What happened, boy?

I got the first two. Three.

Still not getting through to them?

Exact opposite.

I got through to every single last one
of them. Really?

Yeah. I've never seen them this
enthralled.

It's like they were at the edge of their
seats for the entire lesson.

Huh. I guess you proved me wrong.

Yeah, I'm never doing that again.

But you said... Look, man, I know what I
said, but it's just too exhausting.

You know, I'm dehydrated, my back is
wrecked, my blood pressure's through the

roof. So now what?

Look, if this is what it takes to get
through to them, then no thank you. I

guess some of them have to just fall
through the cracks.

If the kids don't care, we don't care.

Donna!

Lindsay and Malia want to apologize for
how they spoke to you earlier.

Seriously? Oh, what's the point?

Talk to them.

Sorry we ruined your little plan.

You know what?

It's all right.

I don't want to fight with you ladies.

The fact is, I kind of see myself in
you.

At the end of the day, people have to
make their own decisions, and I respect

that. Thanks.

In fact, you, um, mind if I bum a smoke
there before I head back to the clink?

Yeah, sure.

Nobody move or I snap this bitch like a
twig! Oh my God, what's happening?

Lindsay! Let the girl go!

I am not going back to the slammer!
Donna, you don't gotta do this! Try me!

And seen.

What? I certainly hope you ladies have
learned your lesson.

So, what are you ladies not going to be
doing? Small. Okay.

Good. Now get a class. Get out of here.

That was great. I love the commitment.

Big fan.

Okay, Mr. Malick, when you're done with
the sign, you're going to have to get a

bigger disco ball that's way too small.

Malick is just happy to be invited.

Okay. Cool spot, huh?

Not really. I thought when you said you
had a place, you had like a school gym

or something.

Why would I have a school gym? Why would
you have a warehouse?

My parents own it. They're in packaging.
Okay, well, it's filthy.

Do you have anything better?

No, I don't. That's what I thought.

Well, I thought that too.

Hey, you're here.

Different.

But I like it. Cool. Well, a little last
minute change, but the bottom line is

we're still here together.

Sure. Anyway, before we start, I'd like
to be paid up front.

For what?

For DJing. Well, there must be a
misunderstanding. I thought you were

because of me. I don't have a budget.

All schools have a dance budget.

School's not putting the dance on.

I put it on.

For? You.

Oh.

No. I thought we'd continue our special
connection at a special dance.

What connection?

This is my business, dude. I've got
three mouths to feed.

Who? My kids.

You have kids?

No, thank you. I think I should go. I've
already left.

I've got three mouths to feed.

Whose? My kids. My kids. My kids.

Yeah, but love, love, love is on the
line.

Oh, you feel so trapped and confused.

Start with nothing. You've got nothing
to lose.

You can never, never, never, ever,
never, never.

Not a natural.
