All language subtitles for Mr. D s07e07 Work to Rule

Hey, everybody.

Coffee's ready. And it's hot and fresh,
just like me.

Hey, Judy.

Huh? You forgot full -bodied.

It's the only way he'll learn.

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.

Well, look who's here. Can you not bug
me right now? I've got a lot of marking

to do.

Marking I didn't think I'd have, to be
honest, when I started teaching phys ed.

It's hard to focus in here. It's very
loud.

Well, here's a thought, Jerry.

Don't do your work in a bar.

No, here's a thought. Why don't they
just be quiet and be professional? Be

courteous to others, patrons in the bar,
working.

I know them. They're teachers.

Teachers? Where do they teach?

Central. That explains it. Public
school.

Shocker. No manners.

Give them a break, Jerry. They're on
work to rule.

On work to what to what?

Disappointing, but not surprising. Okay,
Jerry.

Work to rule means that you do only the
minimum amount of work as stipulated in

your contract and not an ounce more.
Work to rule. You got a coach. What

coaching? No, no extracurricular.

No.

What about...

Pickup duty, lunch duty, all the... No,
no duty. If you arrive at 9, you leave

at 3 .15.

And they still get paid the same? Yes,
they get the same pay.

What about marking? Do they have to
mark?

Go into the dance floor, Jerry.

Watch if you want, but you will become
aroused.

What the rule?

I like the sounds of this thing.

Hey, uh, mom, can you help me with my
bag?

Okay, fine.

Nice.

I'd love you to do that for me.

All right.

Have a good day at school.

Hold on.

You got a little too much on your face.
Here, here, I'll do it.

Little Oedipus? Sup?

I don't know whether to take a cold
shower or call the cops.

Good luck with that, Mom.

Simon. Hey. Have we ever gone on work to
rule here?

Yes, we have. Yeah, before you got here
in 2008.

I had to cancel the science fair. Bad
year.

Oof. John O 'Connor, this one kid, he
was set to be the next Elon Musk. And

the canceled fair broke his passion for
science altogether.

Last I heard, he was working cash at a
blinds to go. All because of a work to

rule. All right, great, thank you.

We have to go on work to rule again.

Really? Yeah, not exactly the reaction I
was expecting.

In fact, you don't just go on work to
rule. It's more of a negotiating tactic

after a series of unaddressed
grievances.

Then let's air some grievances.

Air some grievances? Okay, like what?

Uh, Lisa. Lisa's a grievance. Yeah, but
is that work to rule worthy? What's a

work to rule grievance, then? I mean, I
guess we haven't had a raise in a year

and a half.

There it is.

Money. That's our grievance. Yeah, but I
see the school's perspective on that. I

mean, enrollment is down.

How's that our fault?

What, the burden's supposed to fall on
us financially?

Not a bad point. I've never seen you so
fiery, Simon.

Is it fiery?

I love angry Simon.

I've been angrier. Furious Simon, here
he comes.

Okay. Don't do it for me. We do it for
John O 'Connor. Does he stand to

Because then I am all in. That's the
spirit.

We're doing this.

Okay.

Listen up, please.

Are you okay?

Actually, you know what? I have a lot of
prep to catch up on, so work period.

Can I just ask a question about... No
questions, Lucy, not today.

Got a lot of work to get done over here,
so... Hey, Kathy.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner,
but I think I'm coming down with a nasty

little UTI. Is it normal to feel like
your lady bits have been dipped?

And hot sauce?

Um, miss, you might want to... What did
I just say? I'm getting fired up over

here. Yeah, we know. What? What's that?
What's that? What's that?

God.

Ow.

No more talking.

And it's not just our low salaries.

We don't get enough prep time.

You don't do prep, Jerry.

Because I don't have enough time, Emma.
Chicken and the egg. You should be the

most angry you're a librarian without a
library.

Yeah, well, I don't love that.

Anyone else? What do you got, people?

Oh, I got something.

Okay. What do you got, Frank?

Don't help me.

We always have to babysit kids when
their parents show up late.

You are right, sir. And that kid is
always Philip.

And you guys, Philip is a lame -o.

Sir!

We don't have to hang out with Philip
more than we have to, right?

None of us want to hang out with Philip.
Thank you, Frank.

What else? What else? What else? Malik,
find a gun on their desk.

Did you say he found a... Did he find a
gun? It's a gum?

Gun or gum? It doesn't matter. Just
things from teachers. Sorry, Mr. Malik.

Okay. I've already had a turn. Just a
minute.

I'm sorry. It's like a rubric?

Yes. Me too.

Trick for you. Take the stickers off.

Put it on the cube.

Solved. Put it down. You know, I don't
think that I've ever said these words in

this order, but I think that Jerry...

You might have a point.

Thank you, Emma.

Has anyone seen baby Craig?

Not the issue, Robert.

Right now, everyone, not Malik, has some
complaints about our contracts.

I swear we could talk about whatever you
want when it's contract renewal time.

Right now, I'm dealing with something
much bigger. Not good enough.

Because we declare... No, don't declare
anything. Let me finish. Please don't

declare anything. This was a moment...
Don't declare anything.

We declare work to rule!

I can't find my baby. I did it.

Nice job.

Nice job.

Way to come on board, buddy.

Hold the signs nice and high, people. I
took a while to make these. Nice and

high.

No,

we're not quite there yet, Emma.

Okay.

Pick mine. I'm tired of holding it. I'm
not a phys ed teacher.

You're not a teacher, period. Who cares?
Way to stand together, Jerry.

All right.

Keep holding the signs out. Let the
students see them.

I've got to say, Jerry, I really applaud
your hard work and dedication to the

cause of working less. Thanks, pal.

Okay. Remember our work to rule rules
today.

We go in at 9 o 'clock sharp as a
unified front. We do the bare minimum,

then we leave at 315 sharp as a group.

Sorry, I'm late.

I was looking everywhere for my lucky
black boxers. Why? I forgot to put them

on. Mr. Hunt, are we still meeting
before class to review the lesson?

Of course.

What? Sorry, Charlie.

I need your help, sir. I could fail.
You're going to fail. Let's work to

Charlie. Get out of here before I change
my mind. But I want you to change your

mind. Get!

Hey, I'm proud of you.

You screwed Charlie over, but you did
the right thing.

And you stuck with us.

Okay, everybody.

T minus ten minutes, and we go in as a
group.

What are you, Mark?

Why don't you just leave me alone?

We have a crab. We have a crab crossing
the picket line right here. It's a scab,

you idiot.

You know that if you open the book once
in a while.

Sorry, I'm on spare.

Work to rule. Get out of here.

I don't even know who that was.

Sorry, Sethian. It ain't so play.

So vicious.

Work to rule?

You look great, though.

If you do something like that again, I'm
going to knock you out. You can't knock

anyone out. Hello?

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

What's this?

Huh? Really?

Blocking the whole hall?

We're trying to go through.

That's your word.

Work to rule, though. I love it.

And I feel like I've got nowhere to
turn.

No one understands me. And I'm all
alone.

No one listens.

Oh, ah, it's three -fourth rule. Sorry,
sport.

Gotta run.

Work to rule.

What did I say about being on time?

I have to find a visitor.

Okay, fair enough.

All right, everybody, T minus 15
seconds. We leave as a group, a unified

of teacher... What?

Who's going to wait with me? My parents
usually pick me up late.

I'm sorry, Phillip, but today we can't
because... I get it, we're too old.

Bingo! Let's go!

some work to rule business.

Oh, what's this?

It's just a little gift, miss. We wanted
to cheer you up.

Oh, well thanks guys.

Guess what? You just earned yourself
another work period.

Hey Kathy, so the students just gave me
a two -four of cranberry juice as a

gift. I'm already dealing with a UTI,
and now I've got to lug this crappy gift

around. Speaking of which, it's only
gotten worse.

I don't even know how this happened.
It's not like Simon and I had relations.

I mean, we got to second, maybe third
base.

How much bacteria is on a showerhead?

Child with a gun.

Child with a gun.

You rang?

Delivery for you.

My hubby is so sweet. This is our six
-month anniversary.

Swing him around.

Oh!

Well, he does say I am that.

He's the front or the back?

Who knows?

A little TMI there.

Oh, my God.

Something wrong?

No. Everything is perfect.

Are you sure?

Are you sure you're not horrified that
your tight pants are actually from your

creepy, pervy stepson?

You read the card.

That's the least of your worries,
sister.

I don't know what I'm going to do with
him.

Well, obviously, you have to set some
stepmother -stepson boundaries.

You're right.

I do.

Hey.

You're taking them?

They're really soft.

Yeah.

Well, good news on a couple of fronts.
One, I found baby Craig safe and sound,

sleep in a drawer in my desk.

And two, I took your grievances to the
board of directors, and good news. Looks

like they're willing to play ball. So,
yay.

Oh, wow. That is good news. Thank you.
Great news. Yeah, science fair season's

around the corner. I mean, a couple of
items were non -negotiable, but we

expected that, right?

Baby steps.

There's always a loophole with these
bureaucratic suits. No deal, right,

Maybe we could hear him out first,
Jerry. No, Emma, that's what he wants.

They want to break us, but we don't let
them break us. We stick together. We do

the very bare minimum for as long as
possible. That's what we do here. Don't

mean so that we can increase our
salaries and improve our benefits?

Sure, that too.

Jerry's got a point.

Thank you.

So, Alex, I wanted to get together today
to talk about a few things.

All right, starting with the talking. I
see.

Okay.

So, look, even though I look a lot
younger than your mom, I'm still very

mother figure in your life. Do you
understand what I'm saying?

Not at all.

What a lovely surprise.

Hey. Hi.

Isn't this nice? Taking advantage of
work to roll to spend time with the

we love?

More like drooling in the sunshine to
roll, am I right?

Hey,

look at us. Like you two in the future.
Yeah.

Ice cream dripping down my fingers.

Oh, let me get that.

No reason to waste good cream.

Oh, yeah. No, no, we shouldn't waste it.
Oh, you got some cream in the cracker.

Yeah.

Perfect.

Thank you. Oh, you're very welcome. Oh,
maple.

Order envy. Order envy.

Wait a minute, mister.

What's up? You have schmutz on your
face. No, I don't. You do.

No, I don't. I have schmutz on my face.
Waste not, want not.

Go get it.

It's good cream.

Looks like you got a little drip there,
I think. No, no, no, enough.

Alex, no. Hey, look, I am your
stepmother, and you are my stepson. And

that you've been acting is completely
inappropriate. And from now on, there

be no more tight pants. There's not
going to be any more whispering in my

when I'm sleeping. And no more
accidental pop -ins when I'm in the

there certainly won't be any licking of
anything.

Understood. You are...

That's approved.

I got to loosen up, lady. Yeah, really
loosen up.

Nobody came in before nine, right? No.

Okay, perfect.

Where are all the students?

Robert locked them out.

What? With no teacher supervision under
work to rule, the board deemed the

school unsafe for students.

Let me get this straight.

There are no students right now in the
class I'm already late for. Not a one,

no. What about my second period?

Second save is the first.

Third grade? Yeah, sort of just a full
day thing, Jerry.

God knows when it'll end. And we're
still getting paid.

Yeah, as long as we show up, we get
paid.

So we're already doing the bare minimum,
and now we're getting paid, and there's

no students on top of that.

Yeah, but Jerry, I don't know if you're
understanding the magnitude of this

situation. The biggest downside to being
a teacher is the students.

This is perfect!

Excuse me.

Bring her to work with me. What am I
supposed to do with her now?

I wish we could help, but we aren't the
ones who locked out the kids.

I have to admit, this is a pretty sweet
deal.

Isn't it? Look how good we're getting.

Are you positive you're getting paid?

Of course I'm positive.

That's the best part.

And there's no kids.

Hey, I should see if I can get you a job
here. We'll both get paid to play

basketball forever.

I don't think you're going to pull that
off.

Of course I can pull it off.

I'll just add it to our list of demands.

I'll say, hey, you don't hire Bill?
We're staying on work to rule.

That makes no sense.

But just playing along with the
scenario, what would I even teach?

You're missing the whole point. You
don't have to teach anything. We just

out. There's no kids here.

Yet we get paid.

Don't you get it?

I like it.

No, I just shoot.

What did I miss? What did you miss? That
could be forever.

Miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss,
miss, miss.

Oh, not your day, buddy. I didn't come
to watch you shoot free throws while I

get the ball for you every time.

What's going on here?

Just signing contracts.

Excuse me? I have yours right here,
Jerry.

Hello, Bill.

Anyway, I never agreed to any contract.
What are you doing? That may be true,

but you know what? I think the rest of
the staff is actually quite anxious to

get back to work.

Guy, stop. What are you doing? We're not
signing anything.

The terms were actually quite
reasonable.

All good things come to an end.

But at least we got a raise, right?
That's right. And that's all you're

hero man.

Stop. Yeah. We got 3%. It's more than
I've seen in years.

It's giving me a new lease on life.

3%. Mine doesn't say 3%. Mine says a
quarter percent. Who else got 3 %?

I'm not doing this for a quarter percent
raise. No way.

No way.

We are going back on work to rule right
now.

Every one of us, except you. Right now,
work to rule.

No kids for a whole year.

Watch us.

You know, the thing about power in
numbers is that there isn't that much

and there aren't any numbers.

You know what I think, Jerry? I think
someone should get the hell out of here.

Yeah.

Makes sense.

This is because of you.

Simon, can I have some of your rice? We
could split it.

Just do an email wire transfer.

Every paycheck, just email me some
money.

See ya.

Wait, do you need help with your
backpack?

No, I've got it. Wait, Alex, hang on.

Have a good day.

No, just stop.

Alex, you can still hug your stepmom.

What if it's a gateway hug? Okay, I kind
of think you're being a little

overdramatic here.

Sorry, I wouldn't want to make anything
inappropriate.

Just handshake him.

Nothing wrong with a handshake.

Nothing at all.

Gross.

20 minutes left, everyone.

Miss, I'm having trouble concentrating.

Oh, do you know what? Just try to focus,
Stefan, okay?

Let me tell you, if there's one thing
more annoying than my UTI, it's this

in my ass thing. Stefan!

Speaking of which, this UTI is really
flaring up.

Miss... Maybe you should stop using it.
Lucy, let me ask you a quick question.

Who's the teacher?

This guy.

I make the call. Not you.

Je suis le professeur.

Comprendo? You got it?

Got it.

Now back to your test.

Je suis le professeur.

Where was I? Oh, yeah. My UTI.

Come to think of it, I'm not so sure
this thing's a UTI at all.

I found a photo online that is
hauntingly close to what I'm seeing in

down there.

And for comparison, here's a side -by
-side of what I've got.

What?

Well,

have a good evening, Mr. Duncan.

Come on, Robert.

Parents still aren't here. How long do I
have to stay here?

I guess as long as it takes.

I'll tell you what I don't care for,
string cheese.

I make so many choices every day, and
the last thing I need is more waste than

can eat cheese, right?

Sure. Do you know who makes terrible
cheese?

No, I give up.

Goats.

Goats? Goats don't make cheese.

They produce milk that turns into
cheese.

It doesn't.

They're just making stuff up.

Why?

Goats.

Tortoise. Awesome.
