Okay.

Today, we're going to do an exercise based on the teachings of a woman named

Jane Elliott to show you how ludicrous and arbitrary racism really is.

So what I want you to do, if you have blue eyes, all the people with blue

you're going to go to the right side of the room. If you don't have blue eyes,

grab a scarf, put it around your neck, and go to this side. Let's go. Let's do

that quickly, please. Blue eyes to the right.

Not blue eyes. Grab a scarf around your neck. Go to the left. Let's go. Hurry

up. And here's what the exercise is going to be for the day.

I am going to treat the blue -eyed students much better. I'm going to be a

friendlier, a lot nicer.

They're going to get a longer lunch, special privileges, maybe a couple bonus

marks.

It's going to be very different for them and how I treat this group because it

is time.

We all felt racism.

All of us.

I've heard of this, sir. It's a great exercise.

It's a wonderful exercise.

Thank you, Sheila.

Sir, how will the blue -eyed people know how it feels when we switch roles

tomorrow? When we switch roles. I can't waste another day on this. Doing this

one day. It's one day. I thought this was a great thing to do to give you a

little break, and it was a nice way to show you about racism. But, sir, the

exercise... Sheila! You need to understand, Sheila, that today...

You're a black woman. You're wearing a scarf, which means you don't talk today.

I think... I think you're a minority, and you need to stop talking, because

you're not getting this right now. But, sir... Scarf? Okay, see how it works?

Back of the bus, front of the bus.

Good stuff.

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.

When you hear Mr. Stewart is in the building, we're in lockdown mode.

Everybody sits on the floor, side by side, with your backs to the wall.

So, what are you doing?

Until you hear Mr. Stewart has left the building over the PA and a police

officer knocks on your door to release you. Could I say something?

Of course.

This is a great plan.

No.

This is serious, folks, so follow the protocol.

Any questions?

Teach hard.

Listen for Mr.

Stewart.

Whoa.

How'd you do that?

Who's Mr. Stewart? I don't know. Let me try.

You've got to push hard, though. You just lift your arms at the end? No, you

don't lift them. They lift on their own. What? That's the trick. Oh, I thought

you were just lifting your arms. You've got to push hard enough.

Okay. Is it supposed to hurt? No, it's supposed to hurt.

Latissimus dorsi, levator scapulae. Levator scapulae.

Rhomboids. Rhomboids. All working.

Deltoids. Three of them. Boom.

Synchronized. Step forward. Now your arms will just rise up.

You didn't push hard enough. I'm not very strong. No, but you can still push.

A kid can do this. Try it again.

Yeah. Push hard. I'll get this.

There she is.

Hey, I need you to sign off on this field trip for me. Sure. Thank you. Oh,

sorry. Okay.

Okay.

Need any company on the trip? No, thank you. Are you sure? No, thank you.

Yeah.

Read that. Mr. Stewart is in the building.

We're in lockdown.

On the floor. Okay.

On the floor. But, Robert, this is just a drill. On the floor. There are no

students around. What?

Can't you bend the rules a little bit? Callahan wants us to take this very

seriously. Oh.

I suppose you planned this. I sure did not.

Well, the timing's a little suspicious, isn't it?

Trudy, can you give me a better room, please?

Bite me.

You smell like ladies' perfume.

Yeah, like my grandmother's.

Duck, duck, duck, duck.

Could you hurry up and pick someone, please?

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, goose.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, Lucy! Go, go!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, Stefan!

Sir, I'm a little old for this. And I thought we were supposed to line up

the wall and be quiet for the lockdown.

This isn't a lockdown. This is a drill.

I thought we'd have a little bit of fun.

But no, because Kira doesn't like to have fun.

Would you rather I give you some work here? Is that what you want to do?

No, sir.

Great. Now, they should be letting us go here. I don't know why this is taking

so long.

This is my spare coming into now.

All right, you know what?

Go. You guys go.

But, sir, we're not supposed to leave until lockdown's over.

But this is my only time to not be around kids.

And that's very important for a teacher to have their spare.

Okay? So go to your next class. Just go very quietly.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Quietly, quietly, quietly, please.

Sir, the lockdown isn't over.

I need you to keep the door closed and have the kids take a seat until we come

back to get you.

Huh. Whoops.

All right, kids, you heard the police officer. Back to class, please.

Let's go.

Sorry, they heard it was a drill and then they don't take it seriously and I

tried to warn them. Well, it is for their safety and yours.

Yeah, well...

Thanks for looking out for my safety, so... Mr.

Stewart has left the building.

There we go.

Oh, uh, officer.

I think you're supposed to, uh, knock.

Make it official.

Okay. Oh, Meg.

See you later.

You need to log that down. sir

hey fun lockdown we should

try it again sometime without hey nothing what

the hell was that i've done a really bad thing go on okay you remember the staff

party well after a few too many drinks and after some crippling crippling

loneliness give me a flip

All right, okay, do you know what? It happened. Yeah. You made a mistake.

Mistakes? No, not twice.

Why, Bobby, why?

Okay,

don't judge me. The first time, it was amazing.

And then the second time, it was even more amazing.

I don't think that word means what you think it means. He thinks we're a couple

now.

to call it off, but I can't break the cycle, Trudy. Well, you have to

immediately.

Okay. Yeah, the next time you're alone, I'll call it off.

I'm sick to my stomach when I see him the next day.

He makes me sick every day, and I haven't even slept with him. Get it

He just does the thing that is so... La, la, la, la.

Look at him.

You know what Ted and I call him?

The middle.

He even comes with his own handcuffs.

I wonder if he has opposable limbs.

That's gross.

You had your chance.

Hey,

do you find that Emma weird?

Very. Hey,

you haven't seen that hot police officer, have you?

He's right there.

Yeah, okay. If I'm talking about a hot police officer, why would I be talking

about a guy? Come on.

Okay, I'm talking about the hot cop. Okay, you... Jerry brought him up.

No.

You guys done? This is embarrassing. Bye, Jerry.

Gosh, they look like losers.

Hey, officer.

It wouldn't happen to know where I could find your police officer partner, do

you? Something I can help you with? No.

Do you know how I could reach her?

No.

Really, you don't know how to reach your own partner?

Oh, no. You can reach my partner.

What if I said she would want me to find her? Was that an incident?

More like a moment.

You know what I mean? Tell her the teacher she was talking to in the

looking for her. Yeah, I probably won't.

Okay. Okay, big police officer.

Did you spit on me?

No. Because when you're talking, you're spitting. That's the thought of a police

officer.

Well, then, I'm not... You're still spitting.

Now I'm spitting again.

Are you still doing this?

He's a jerk and alive.

Couldn't care less.

He's a jerk.

You know, if this were a real lockdown, we'd be screwed.

We're sitting ducks.

Not me.

Really? Oh, let's just say I got a few things in my lab I could use to defend

myself. Like what?

Why don't you drop by?

Show you what I'm talking about.

Love the third floor.

It's a good climb.

You don't use the elevator?

So don't patronize me.

Sorry.

Thanks. Okay.

Okay. Oh, okay.

Wait, wait, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.

Hmm.

Should have stopped after the first hour.

If you can help me, I'm looking for one of your police officers.

Are you reporting an incident?

No.

This police officer, she came to our school, and how do I describe her?

Oh, she's hot.

There's no other way to... She's just hot, like extremely hot. You must know

that is.

Hot cop. Yeah.

Oh, you know who that is? I do, actually.

Officer Rose, could you come up, please?

And you're hot, too.

This is just a little different level. This is a little bit... Hey, I

understand. Yeah.

What can I do for you, sir?

Who's this?

This gentleman is looking for our hot cop.

That's me. I'm the hot cop.

You're not even the hottest cop right here, so I don't know.

So your job is to help people, but you're not.

You're gonna help me here.

Yep.

Okay, I get it.

Yesterday's lockdown drill, not good. It wasn't a complete failure, but we do

have things we can work on. For instance, the officers noticed students

hall, noisy classes.

It's a gong show, let's be honest.

Is it always the same police officers that come to this area?

Usually. Why?

No, there's no reason. I thought they did a good job. Very great.

Yes, well, that aside, I mean, we do have things we can work on for the next

one. When will the next one be?

Specifically when?

I don't know, six months from now?

Six months from now.

We could all be dead six months from now, if it was real. All right, calm

Calm down.

You're the one saying we should take it seriously.

Tech students, I think we should take this a lot more seriously than six

from now.

Could I say something, sir?

I agree with Jerry.

Thank you.

Sir, it's not such a bad idea. Practice does make perfect. I say we do it again.

Today. Do it again today.

All right, if that's what you want, I'll call the precinct. Trudy, can you take

care of that? Thank you, everybody.

Looking at that, Trudy.

Please tell me you got it done.

I have not had a chance to yet.

Haven't had a chance or you've been avoiding it.

No, of course not. I'll do it, okay?

When? Well, the first opportunity I... get.

The first opportunity I get, I swear.

Good.

Let's get off the phone with the precinct. Ah.

Hey, hey, hey, what you doing there? Calling the lockdown.

Okay, can you give me one second?

Would Ms. Galka report to the office, please? Ms. Galka to the office.

You look nice today.

Thank you. What's going on? Not too much.

Just bear with me.

Robert would like to see you.

Okay, there you go.

Mr. Stewart is in the building.

No, I can't.

You can thank me later, Missy.

Come on, Lucy, just pick someone.

I don't know. I thought if it kind of grossed me out. It's hypothetical.

I'd eat Stefan.

Okay, why would you eat Stefan?

He's not really in shape, so his meat would be tender.

Personally, I think... I think that would make his meat taste delicious.

Like veal.

Yeah. I play chess.

See? Yeah, true.

You know what I wouldn't eat?

Janet, aha, no way.

Not choking on those.

Although if I had to eat Janet, I'd take them out.

He'd be dead. It wouldn't hurt.

Oh, greasy fill would be a good meal.

Like filling chips.

Can I have a two -piece of filling chips, please?

This cannibal talk's making me hungry.

I'm getting hungry, Lucy.

Lucy. Uh -oh, what if we're here forever?

Just kidding, Lucy.

Relax. You're Italian.

I don't even like Italian.

Well, I wouldn't eat you because I don't like haggis.

Wow.

That's amazing.

Just a little Lycopodium powder and a lighter.

Instant flamethrower. You know, if this were a real lockdown, we'd be heroes.

Say that again. All we'd need is to lure the criminals in here within sort of a

two -foot radius.

Yeah. As long as I had the jug and the lighter, I could really toast them up

from there.

And then wham. And wham.

You should see what I can do with a can of aerosol.

I'd like that.

Okay.

I can't believe how long this is taking.

Again.

Forever. This feels like forever.

When are they going to come?

In a real situation? We could be in lockdown for days.

Well, thankfully, Kira, this isn't a real situation.

I read once that in an actual real... Kira, stop talking.

It's supposed to be quiet, all right?

This is a serious drill, and I want the police to see we're doing a good job

here.

Where is she?

Are you trying to impress that lady cop, sir?

Stop talking.

This is why nobody wants to eat you.

Is it 12? It's 12 .30.

12 .30. Past lunch, and I'm starving. This isn't good for anyone to be sitting

here with no food. So I'm going to go to the cafeteria.

I'm going to grab myself something from a vending machine.

Won't you get in trouble?

Not if I don't get caught.

I love you guys.

Troll's gone on long enough, wouldn't you say?

Um, just a little longer.

You know, just to drive the point home.

Okay.

Uh -huh.

Uh, excuse me, sir.

You're not supposed to be in the house.

Well, but isn't it obvious I'm grumpy?

My class is right there. I just had a sugar crash.

Okay, look, this is the second drill in two days, and now you're just wasting my

time. Ha!

Get back to your classroom and stay there. No, I want my socks apart. No.

me. Sir, I advise you to let go of my arm right now. You're assaulting a

officer. No, I want my socks apart. Sir, let go of my arm right now.

Sir, release his arm right now. Hey, there you are. I need you to let go of

partner's arm. You don't know what's happening. You're jumping into the wrong

time. I need you to release his arm right now. You don't understand, but...

got it!

What?

I don't know how much that's helping, but... No, thank you very much. No

offense. Thank you.

Okay. That was so cool.

It was not supposed to go off like that.

Way too much aerosol.

Okay.

Oh, there's the fire alarm.

Fire protocol. We should exit immediately.

Lockdown protocol.

We can't leave till we get the knock on the door.

We know it's not a real lockdown.

But we know it's not a real fire.

Oh.

The Sphinx's riddle.

What to do?

Oh, good.

So that settles it. We follow lockdown protocol.

Mr. Stewart has left the building.

Okay, you two can come out now. The drill is over.

Hold my calls.

And balance is restored.

How does this keep happening? Please don't judge me. It's just too good.

But you were free.

Judy, I've never experienced anything like this.

Come on. How good can that be?

He does.

I'm going to just write it down.

Me? I have no gag reflex.

Popular, popular girl.

Oh, my God. What's happened here?

It's that cop I was telling you about.

Who? Good -looking cop I meant.

I gotta apologize to her. Hold back. No, that's probably not... Jerry, it's not

the right time. I may not see her again.

I don't want to get your phones out.

Sir,

back off!

Turn around and leave, now!

I will. I just need to apologize.

Hey, Jared, I'm just going to leave your coffee here.

You don't need it.

Hey, so, uh, read chapters three to five for, uh, the test.

Sir, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. What do you mean, am I okay?

Stupid. Your faith, sir.

Your faith. What's that supposed to mean, Lucy?

Stay focused, please.

Sir, did you just say stay focused?

What? Stay focused.

How do I say stay flocus?

You did, sir. I heard it too. Flocus. Not even a word, flocus.

I didn't say flocus. I said flo... I said flo...

I said flocus.

Sir, you just said it again.

Get to work.
