All language subtitles for mr._d_s03e08_graduation

As you know, it's that time of year
where we submit the seniors' marks.

And here's our chance, out of the
goodness of our own hearts, to goose

numbers a little bit where we can.

Beginning with Jeremy Peacock.

Currently has a 74 in your class, Miss
Mason. Anything you can do for him?

Oh, he's been trying really hard. I
could probably give him a 78.

Miss Galka, 83.

Yeah, that seems about right.

Perfect. Thank you.

Next, Jimmy DeGrazia.

Jimmy has decided he would like to pass.

He's going to be here forever.

So, Ms. Mason, 40 in geography, anything
you can do?

No.

Mr. Hunt, 32 in science.

I have been very generous.

Mr. Duncan, 44.

You know, second semester, he has, in my
class at least, improved a lot. I'm

going to say 92.

Okay, come back to earth.

Really, is there anything you can do
with this mark?

92. That's crazy. You've got to be
kidding.

Because guess what?

92 in your class still doesn't even pass
us.

98. 98. I forgot he had a test here he
did well on.

98. Come on. What are you doing?

What are you guys doing? Why do we want
to keep this kid? Are you thinking

straight? Pass him. We don't have to see
him again, right?

We shouldn't be failing kids we don't
like. That should be a rule.

First off, I'd like to thank you for
coming in on such short notice. My

pleasure. You recall I spoke to you
about the phys ed position?

Well, we actually have an opening next
year, and you came to mind.

I know you're involved in coaching the
under -12 girls' volleyball team.

500 record, almost.

And I know that you would like to be
teaching phys ed, and you're not.

Yeah. And frankly, the position opened
up last minute, and I'd really like to

get things in order for next year, so...
Wow, this is happening so fast.

That's how I work.

So think about it, but don't take too
long.

Oh, sorry. Didn't know you were busy.

No, it's fine. We're almost done here.

Mr. Duncan, this is our librarian, Mr.
Wong. You're Chinese.

Yep, I am.

He's really Chinese.

Ours isn't.

Cool. I like that.

Hey.

See you later? What is that?

See you in their class prank.

That's their prank?

See you later with shaving cream? I
know, these kids.

No imagination. In my day, we would have
glued the lockers together.

In my day, we unleash 100 rabbit wolves
on school.

That's a good one, too. Yeah, that'd be
a good prank. I think I'm just making it

worse.

Oh, this has a side.

Now who is the boss?

How's the staff song coming along for
the graduation ceremony?

Good. You know, good.

Okay. I'm having a bit of trouble
motivating some of the staff, if I'm

honest.

Well, Robert, this is your opportunity
to prove you're a leader.

I mean, if you are going to be principal
one day, you'll have more to deal with

than a few difficult staff members.

Point taken.

And I will not let you down, sir.

I look forward to hearing it.

Robert.

So these comment cards, just something
the school requires we do.

All right? Not a big deal. They are
anonymous.

Your name is not on them.

Say what you want, good or bad, positive
or corrective. It doesn't matter.

So write whatever you want. For
instance, the third one.

How would you best describe your
teacher?

Right?

Ben, what would you say there?

I thought they were anonymous.

They're anonymous, but give us one way
you would describe me.

In one word or... One thing, just
something.

Pick one word that if you think of me,
you think of...

Hold that thought.

Save it.

Save it for the comment card, okay? All
right, do that, please. Take five

minutes. Your last comment cards as
students here.

You know what? And I do have to tell you
something, so just stop writing for a

second.

I want you to hear this from me.

There is a pretty good chance that I am
not returning to the school. So if you

have siblings that you've told to take
my class or look forward to my class, I

apologize for letting you down and them
down. But sometimes things

just happen in life that you don't
expect.

So are you going to another school?

That's why she's valedictorian.

Maybe. Who's replacing you? Is it Miss
Mason? Miss Mason.

She's great.

Miss Mason's great. I think you'd never
have a shot with Miss Mason.

This is all a maybe. So don't start
telling people things that we haven't

decided on yet. Well, are you or aren't
you? I don't know.

I'm just telling you that this is a
possibility. This is a big decision.

Is it?

Yes, it is, Ben.

Because I can't imagine this place
without me. I can't.

Get out.

imagining this room without you right
now guys focus up focus up now here we

four stop

um your harmonies are all over the place
i feel like i don't understand the

lyric well if we have lyrics it might
help us remember the harmonies did you

even write the lyrics aunt robert are
these not the lyrics never you mind

The point is this. If you can't handle
the new, new, new, you're not ready for

the lyrics yet. So you get the lyrics
when you're ready for them.

Meantime, from the top again with focus
and shape and... New,

new, new, new.

Stop. Leong, you're flat.

Hey.

I said flat.

Oh.

Why isn't Paul leading us? He is the
music teacher.

I am the leader here.

I lead things because I am a leader.

That's what I do. I lead. And if you
think I'm not capable of leading this,

maybe you should go.

Really?

Anybody else?

Think I'm not capable of leading?
Because you should go too. There's the

You're free to go. Fine.

Go. But for those of you that stay,
you're staying?

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm going to let go away.

What are the chances of me teaching phys
ed here next year?

We haven't made any of those decisions
yet, but we're really happy with what

you're doing in social sciences.

I don't anticipate any big changes next
year. Okay, well, hate to play hardball,

but I'm going to need more money.

We're on a standard pay grid. You get
what the grid dictates. Grid's gonna

to dictate 10 % more. What are you
talking about?

Well, let's just say, uh, looks like St.
Pat's has a position for me teaching

phys ed there next year.

Is that right?

Hmm.

I used to date Principal Turner.

Oh, I'm aware.

She's probably poaching Xavier teachers
to get under my skin.

I need to be upset.

Which is why I thought 10 % would work
well for both of us.

Personal feelings aside, This is a great
opportunity for you.

What? I hate to lose you to that school,
but congratulations, Duncan. I'm happy

for you.

I haven't accepted it yet, so... I'd get
on that before it's too late.

Here's what we'll do. Seven percent, one
phys ed class.

We're really going to miss you around
here. You know what?

I better post your position. Post my...
Post my... Sir?

Sir?

Hey, Bobby.

Did you hear the news?

No, what news?

Looks like I'm going to be teaching phys
ed at St. Pat's next year.

Ah, well, congratulations, Jerry. Good.

I know you probably feel bad because
this is kind of your fault that I'm

leaving. What are you talking about?

Well, if you'd have offered me a phys ed
position here, I could have stayed.

We don't have a position available,
Jerry, okay?

Simon.

Hey, Derek.

Boy, we got some good times here.

Oh, yeah.

Good times.

Looks like I'm going to be going the
same path next year.

Really?

That is great news.

What? That means you and me can finally
start hanging out.

We can what? Yeah, I knew this day would
come sooner or later. You're always

saying we spend too much time here in
school. We don't need to hang out

afterwards. I thought that. Guess who
just became nighttime buddies?

You and me, pal. I don't know if you're
listening, but I'm not going to be here.

Things will do. Jerry, we're going to
set this town on fire.

If you really, really, really wanted me
to stay, I don't want you to stay.

I want you as far away from me as
possible, Jerry. I'm going to rope you

on weeknight.

You know what it's going to be like?
It's going to be like that time we

accidentally went to that gay bar.
Except we can do it every night. And not

accident.

Yeah.

September 5th.

Book it.

We're hanging out.

What you doing?

I'm just taking a little mental break,
you know.

I took one of those once.

That's two years of my life.

Take it you're here to apologize for
ruining my song?

You always make such an ordeal out of
everything.

God, why do you know me so well?

You're right.

Are these the lyrics?

they're good stupid it's just a song
robert yeah that's what i thought too

you know what maybe at the time i just
accept the fact that i'll never be

callahan i'm not principal material now
if you'll excuse me i'd like to get back

to my mental break okay you take all the
time you need

Hey, I heard about your new job at St.
Pat's and just wanted to say

congratulations. I haven't even accepted
the position. Who keeps saying that?

Oh, Callahan posted your job.

He posted my... I just spoke to him,
like... These are for you.

Oh, are they from everybody?

No, just me. I kind of feel like we're
allies here, you know, since we started

at the same time.

You probably should have told people you
were doing this.

Okay, well, I didn't.

I'm saying they may have wanted to go in
on this with you for a bigger gift.

Anyway, sounds like the perfect position
for you.

I'm more worried about you, that they're
going to be annoyed with you for doing

this on your own. Jerry.

I'm just saying, you know, you look like
the hero. You get the gift.

They didn't have a chance to get
something together, right?

Okay, Jerry.

Have a good day.

There you go.

It's your new job. Bigger and better
things.

Bill, I haven't accepted the position
yet.

Why not?

This is the visit job you always wanted.
Until they get to know you, the new

students will respect you. What are you
talking about?

You don't know anything about what they
think, all right? Here's comment cards.

Yeah. Oh, not the worst teacher I've
ever had. Thank you.

Yeah, quite respectful.

Gives us a lot of free time during class
and shows a lot of great movies. Thank

you, sir. You're welcome.

Has a lot of great golf shirt.

Quality feedback.

Yeah. Mr. D is always late.

Not always, but that can go there.

Mr. D takes too long to hand assignments
back. Not even true. Liar in that part.

Mr. D spends the whole class taking
attendance.

Okay, so those are the negative ones.
And then what I do, a little trick, I

them it was anonymous, so their names
aren't on these.

But I take a previous assignment and I
match up their writing, find out who

the bad things, message them, say, I
never liked you anyway.

A little payback.

Wow, that is professional.

Wow, do any of the comments cards say
you're crazy?

No. Oh.

Oh, we should.

I don't know why this is such a hard
decision for you, man. This is your

job. Why is it a hard decision?

It is a dream job.

But then I think of these kids.

Yeah, there's more of these kids. I
don't know if there's more of them, but

It's like 70 -30. I gotta do what's
right for me, right? I wanna teach phys

Yeah, you wanna teach phys ed, man. I'm
gonna take it. I think I'm gonna take

it. Yeah? Phys ed. Phys ed.

To my new job at Fame Path.

New job. Boom. Boom.

New kid.

Mm -hmm. Yeah.

All right. Have a good summer.

Bye. Bye, sir.

Bye. Bye forever, maybe.

I'm sitting here if anyone wants to...
Okay.

Bye, it is.

Last chance to...

Say something.

Hey, sir.

Hey. I almost forgot.

This is from the class.

From the class?

Anyway, have a good summer.

You have a good summer, too.

In class.

Thank you.

Shut up, you guys.

Goofballs.

Everybody.

You guys.

It's graduation day.

A time to celebrate.

Being happy and feeling gay.

Not in a sexual way.

You'll never be alone.

When Xavier's yours.

Always looking out for you.

There was a time in this process when I
was actually starting to question my

abilities as a leader.

And now I realize the only thing I
should have been questioning the entire

was your musical ability.

Oh, man.

What was that? I can do the time,
Robert.

Paul, out of you, I would have expected
more.

Oh, man.

Oh, dear.

We've laughed together, we've cried
together, and we've fallen asleep in

together.

Xavier is more than a school. It's more
than books and tests.

It's home.

It's family.

And there is no better example of that
family than our teachers.

We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for
them.

I'd like to thank the teachers who made
my senior year especially memorable.

Ms. Galka, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Duncan, and Ms.
Mason.

I believe it was Bobby Kennedy who once
said, only those who dare to fail

greatly can achieve greatly.

I believe it's important to take the
words of Bobby Kennedy as we move on to

university. It's important to... Sir,
what are you doing?

You're one of my favorites, too. Thank
you.

I'm going to let you finish, okay?

No, I mean...

Hello, I'm Mr. D. A lot of what Maya
said there was about

me, inspired by me. Sometimes we forget
as teachers how important our role is in

all of this.

But speeches like Maya's and thank you
cards

remind us that students are not the
future,

teachers are.

And even though Mr.

Callahan's ex -girlfriend tried to steal
me away from this place, don't worry,

sir. She was unsuccessful.

But hot.

Hot.

So, with that said, I've decided to stay
at Xavier Academy. And I do want to

thank my colleagues who, in their own
little way, said, don't go.

Don't go.

And to the students.

He said, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, Maya, as you were, finish up.

I'm finished now.

I'm finished now.

Maybe the worst ending to a
valedictorian speech I've heard.

How about a hand for Maya Garland,
everybody?

Yes.

Being your prank.

Still not the best, though.

They ruined my handlebar.

Well, they must have it in for you.

What'd you do to piss them off?

You tell me.

What? My car.

They must really want me to stay.

After I turn mine over, I'll flip yours.

What?

Mr. Duncan, it says here, correct?

Are you being serious? This is
ridiculous.

Once a job has been posted, an interview
is mandatory, so... Okay, interview

me.

What would you say are your strengths?

Kids love me. I'm a good motivator.

And how about weaknesses?

Right now, my triceps and my quads are a
little weak.

Oh, you're joking.

Yes. I wonder if any of the other nine
candidates who I'm interviewing for that

job today would find it as funny.

You're being serious? This is a real
interview.

Very.

Where were we? Oh, right.

Weaknesses.

Sometimes I hand tests back a little
late. So what?

You didn't write that down.

Yeah.

Delayed test results can impede a
child's progress and delay educational

development. It's bad.

What's going on?

I have to be interviewed for my own job
again?

Seriously?

You know, technically the job is still
his.

What?

Yeah, yes it is.

Well then, what's this?

Oh, this is me having fun.

That does sound like fun.

Weaknesses include gullibility.

Do you know that word? It's not even in
the dictionary.

I'll see you next year.
