All language subtitles for Fame - 1x11 - The Crazies.DVDRip.en

Counterpoint involves
a sensitivity to the other players.

At the end of every year, we will start
to go just a little bit crazy.

The faculty puts on shows.

The students start sniffing spring.

You've probably heard about Miss Sherwood
and Miss Grant switching classes.

Short phrases and crisp rhythms.

Short phrases and crisp rhythms!

The crazies strike again!

You got big dreams.

You want fame.

Well, fame costs...

and right here is where
you start paying in sweat.

Tell me the truth.

Gregory Andrew Crandall,
I love you.

Tell me the truth.

Gregory Andrew Crandall,
I love you.

Tell me the truth.

Gregory Andrew Crandall,
I love you.

Tell me the truth.

Gregory Andrew Crandall,
I love you.

Tell me the truth.

Gregory Andrew Crandall,
I love you.

Somebody get the blinds, please.

Would you all go back to your seats?

All right,
that was very interesting.

Any ideas what we
might learn from that?

Amatullo?

Well, we learned that you probably
had a really bad night last night...

and that your ego needed a lot
of stroking, so we hope you feel better.

The purpose of this exercise...

was to get you used to the idea
that as actors...

you're gonna be called upon
to say things and do things...

that society says you shouldn't.

Like, you don't say
''I love you'' to somebody...

with 1 5 other people
looking on, right?

- So we all passed?
- No.

What was requested of you
was the truth.

''Tell me the truth,'' I said.
Some of you giggled.

Some of you smirked,
couldn't look me in the eye.

The reality that I expect from you
is the emotional truth...

and you don't tell someone ''I love you''
with an embarrassed grin on your face.

That is the truth.

By the way, Amatullo,
I do feel a lot better.

You can make all the jokes
you want about it, but the fact is...

you and I were the only people
in Crandall's class that chickened out.

Everybody else looked right at him
and told him the truth.

You and I acted like schoolkids.

- Have you forgotten we are schoolkids?
- More jokes.

Give it a break, will ya? Why are you
makin' such a big deal about it?

Have you ever seen the English movie
The Four Feathers?

No.

It's about cowardice
and the nature of courage.

And I am formally calling
you and I cowards...

for just the things that
Crandall was talking about.

- Telling the truth?
- No.

Instead of being serious,
we're always cute or copping out.

Okay, what do you recommend?

- We take a pledge.
- To do what?

It is now 1 0:00 in the morning.

From now until the end
of the school day...

you and I will tell nothing
but the absolute truth.

No matter how much we want
to sugarcoat it or tell a white lie...

we must tell the absolute,
bottom-line truth and nothing but.

The longer it takes you to answer me,
the more I'm becoming disappointed in you.

- Doris, have you thought about this?
- Of course not.

Well, don't you think we oughta
think about it a little bit?

Montgomery, you are standing on the edge
of the high board of life.

Are you gonna think it through,
or are you gonna jump?

For the rest of the day,
nothing but the truth.

What's so funny?

I was just going over
the tentative list...

for the faculty show
that Mr. Shorofsky drew up.

He's got Miss Sherwood down
to do an African tribal dance. Good luck.

Miss Grant? What do you think about
this for Michelle in the ballet finale?

Turn around, Michelle.
Oh, it's-

It's different.

It's original.
Don't you think so, Doris?

Come on.
What do you think, Doris?

I think it's a pukey color,
and it makes you look incredibly hippy.

What?

Oh, it does.

Look at me.
It makes me look huge.

It does not.
Michelle, you look fine in that.

I'm not gonna wear this.
There's no way.

Michelle, you liked it this morning.

No. No. There was always
a little bit of doubt.

Doris spelled it out.
It makes me look hippy, right?

- Incredibly.
- Doris, you should talk.

- Go warm up.
- On my way.

Michelle, sweetheart,
you're overreacting.

- The costume is fine. It's just fine.
- It is.

If anything, it makes
your hips look smaller.

So my hips are too big!

Class, would you get in places
for the end of act one, please.

Honey, you did fine.
It'll work itself out.

Hold it. Hold it.

You're on key and in tempo,
but that's not enough.

Counterpoint involves a sensitivity
to the other players.

Minute adjustments
one to the other.

This is missing.
I don't know why, but it's missing.

Was there enough time for you
to get together and rehearse?

We rehearsed for a couple
of hours last night.

Well, I'd appreciate someone telling me
why it didn't come together then.

Because we didn't
rehearse this number.

You didn't rehearse
the assignment given you?

Well, maybe not as much
as we should have.

Well, how much time
did you give it, please?

- We rehearsed-
- About 1 5 minutes, tops.

- What Montgomery says is true?
- Yes, sir.

And the rest of the time
was spent what, please?

A new song I wrote.

You concentrated
on a new song of yours...

instead of a variation
from Bach, yes?

Yes, sir.

And what is the title of this song
that is so much better than Bach?

- I didn't say it was better.
- What's the title, Martelli?

''My Baby Mine Never Babies Me.''

Get out!
You're all dismissed!

Dismissed?
But the period's not over yet.

It's over as far
as I'm concerned. Get out!

If we leave now without hall permits,
the hall monitors are gonna write us up.

Give them my regards.

Is there an assignment
for tomorrow?

Your assignment is to learn to play the
Bach as it was intended to be performed.

If you are unable to accomplish
that, your second assignment...

is to be honest about it
and not betray my trust in you.

I'm sorry to say that today
you failed miserably at doing either.

- Mr. Shorofsky-
- Out!

I can't believe what you just did.
What's the matter with you?

- Yeah, neat thing to do, Montgomery.
- A couple more rehearsals...

we could've had the variation down pat.

- What was the point-
- No, we couldn't have.

Who says?

Julie said your keyboard technique isn't
good enough for the complex parts.

- When did you say that?
- This morning before first bell.

Excuse me.
You people have hall permits?

No, we don't have hall permits.

- I'm gonna have to write you all up.
- Great.

You're Martelli, aren't you?
We got chemistry together.

Yes on Martelli and yes that
we have chemistry together.

Not the kind of chemistry thatJane Fonda
and Robert Redford have-

Now listen, pal, don't get smart with me.
I can write you up for that too.

You and I got chemistry
together next hour.

I'll write you up on the way there.
The rest of you-

Well,just don't be out here
without a hall permit. That's all.

It's gonna be a long day.

- Good morning.
- Hello.

- Are you okay?
- Sure. It's nothing.

I think I pulled
a muscle last night.

Oh, when you were rehearsing
your dance routine?

Doris, how do you
know about that?

That's supposed to be a surprise
for the faculty show.

Oh, I guess Miss Grant let it slip.

How much did she tell you?

Her exact words were...

''Miss Sherwood's down for an African
tribal dance. Good luck.''

Good luck?

- Oh, Mr. Shorofsky.
- What now?

One of your first-hour students
was written up by a hall monitor...

but the student says
you ordered him out of the room.

And if that's the case,
we can't justify a summons.

- May I ask a question?
- Of course.

Why was only one student written up?
I sent five of them out.

- Oh, but you can't do that.
- I already did it.

But it's unfair
to the student involved.

The student was not involved.
That's precisely the problem.

He was rehearsing ''Beat My Baby''
or something like that.

- What?
- Mrs. Berg...

the papers today told
of an earthquake in Chile.

Hundreds are missing.
There's famine in India.

There's injustice everywhere.
These things are important.

But this twaddle of hall monitors
is not worth my time or attention.

Therefore, you can take
the summons and-

Don't you dare!

Oh, Mrs. Berg, do you have
the forms that I asked you for-

Stuff it!

Never mind, dear.
I'll find them myself.

I'd like to talk to you, please.

- How about lunch?
- How about now?

What can I do for you?

I want to know if I'm in this faculty show
as some kind of comic relief.

Of course not.
You're doing a dance, right?

The quote that was
reported to me was...

''Sherwood's doing an African
tribal dance. Good luck.''

- Who told you that?
- Doris.

- I'll kill her.
- So you did say it!

Well, not the way you said it.
You had to be there.

I was just wishing
a fellow performer good luck.

You were wishing me good luck,
and I wasn't even in the room?

Well, look. It was just like if I heard
Mr. Shorofsky was going skydiving.

If I heard that, I might just say...

''Oh, Mr. Shorofsky's
going skydiving. Good luck.''

And you think the comparison
between Shorofsky skydiving...

and me dancing is a fair one, do you?

I'm digging my grave
with my own mouth.

Elizabeth, all I meant to say
was that you're not a dancer-

not a trained dancer- and it might
present some obstacles for you.

Well, all you do is teach English.

All I do is teach English!
Oh, terrific!

Come on, Elizabeth.
Be real now.

It might be a lot easier for me to do your
thing than it would for you to do mine.

Fat chance.

What class do you have
fourth period?

Comparative
Contemporary Literature.

Sounds like fun. I have
Modern Jazz Trends in Choreography.

- I'll be there.
- Bet.

He's never talked to me
like that before.

Never. Twenty years.
Not once did he ever-

Michelle, why are you wearing
your coat on the inside?

Because I've got incredibly big hips.

And I hate myself!.

Time out, somebody!
Somebody-Time out. Time out.

But you always laugh. You laughed
at my jokes a million times.

Mostly to be polite.
We didn't want to hurt your feelings.

- And what are you doin' now?
-Just tellin' it like it is.

Look, we're not sayin'
you never tell a funny joke.

And your delivery is good,
but you need better material.

Oh, so people are just bein' polite
and laughin' at my jokes, huh?

Most of the time.
Not all of the time.

Every once in a while
you came up with a good one.

You know, this isn't as hard
as I thought it would be.

- Aren't some people gettin' mad at you?
- Some yes, some no.

Michelle thanked me for being
honest about her costume.

Miss Sherwood
said she was grateful.

- She said it all averages out.
- Deidre Maxwell.

What about her?

I've been kinda workin' on her for
the past couple of months, and... nothin'.

Maybe I should stop playin' games
and do what we've been doin'-

be straight, level with her.

Montgomery, I really think
we're onto something here.

I really do. Go for it.

Where is everybody?

Well, let's see.

Coco's over there
having a wardrobe conference.

And Bruno's composing
something, it looks like.

Julie's buying her cello
a bite to eat.

Danny's providing the floor show.

And Montgomery's-

Never mind about Montgomery.
I can see that for myself.

Just the man I want to see.

What a limited social life
you must have.

I know you're in charge
of the faculty show.

I don't know if you know it or not,
but I play a little jazz piano.

Just how tall an instrument
are we talking about?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Forgive me.

This happens near the end
of every year.

The crazies.
We are all crumbling.

I don't follow you.

I've been here longer
than you have, Mr. Crandall.

I've been here longer than the furnace,
for heaven's sake.

At the end of every year, we will start
to go just a little bit crazy.

The faculty puts on shows.

The students start sniffing
spring and freedom.

You've probably heard about Miss Sherwood
and Miss Grant switching classes.

- Really?
- The crazies strike again!

Prose style.

Now, I'd like for you to give me the names
of some writers that had different styles.

But don't give me anybody
too far out. Danny?

- Ernest Hemingway.
- Good. Hemingway.

- Give me another. Coco?
- Thomas Wolfe.

Very good thinking.

Now, these are two
very good examples...

because both of these writers
have very different styles.

Hemingway wrote short phrases
and crisp rhythms.

- Say ''short phrases.''
- Short phrases.

- Say ''crisp rhythms.''
- Crisp rhythms.

Now we'll put 'em together.
Short phrases and crisp rhythms.

Short phrases and crisp rhythms.

Okay, okay. Good. Good.

Now, Thomas Wolfe-
different sound altogether.

He wrote in a style
that was very ornate.

Very smooth phrases.
Very connected. Very legato.

Say ''Ohhh, legato.''

- Ohhh, legato.
- Come on, say it.

Ohhh, legato!

- Put your body in it!
- Ohhh, legato!

Very good. Now, there's
another writer.James Agee.

Write this down. A-G-E-E.

Now, his style incorporated both.

Short phrases and crisp rhythms,
and the legatos.

So put 'em together,
and what do we get?

Short phrases and crisp rhythms,
ohhh, legato! Come on!

Short phrases and crisp rhythms,
ohhh, legato!

One more time!

That's good. Doris?

We're supposed to be conjugating verbs
this period in Miss Sherwood's class.

Oh, I know you're
running the class...

but I thought you might like to know
what's supposed to be happening here.

Well, thank you very much, Doris,
for bringing that to my attention.

You've been very helpful
this morning to so many people.

Short phrases and crisp rhythms,
ohhh, legato!

That was very good.

I mean, really, it was.

I think when you get some of the rough
edges off, it'll be spectacular.

- What rough edges?
- Well, maybe that's too strong a word.

It seemed to me that it's-

it's all a little usual.

I mean, there are no real surprises.

Well, teacher, you have to tell
us what you're talkin' about.

Well, I was thinking,
while I was watching it...

that it's all very modern, isn't it?

I mean, the sounds
and the moves and-

And I thought it might be interesting
if you inserted something...

that wasn't quite so contemporary.

Like the way they use the body
in the Irish clog dances.

Watch. I'll show you.

We never seen nothin' like that before.
That's real interesting.

Class dismissed.

Leroy, hang on a second.
I'd like to talk to you.

I guess you've heard about
the faculty show coming up?

Sure.

Well, Lydia- Miss Grant-

seems to feel that
I'm in over my head.

What do you think?

Well, everybody's entitled
to their own opinion.

I think it's your-

Well, it's your dancing.
I mean, that clog stuff.

- I mean-
- Thank you... for your tact and honesty.

I think I have
a question to ask you.

I'm waiting.

Leroy, can you teach me
how to dance?

You gotta be kidding!

Teach you how to dance.

Well, I'd love to!
I mean, why not?

Innkeeper!
More wine for my men.

We are victorious!

The question is are we done?

I mean, is this pledge supposed to last
all day or just through the school day?

You know, I don't think
we should give this up.

We've accomplished a lot today.

I mean, we've helped a lot of people
open up the lines of communication.

Fine! I don't have the technique for Bach!
Then get somebody else.

All I said was your technique
could stand some improving.

But not yours, right? Perfection. You
should change your name to Nadia Comaneci.

If you can't stand a little
constructive criticism-

Constructive criticism?

When Leonard Bernstein says it,
it's constructive criticism.

When you say it,
not quite the same thing.

It's likeJerry Ford saying that
Fred Astaire lost his step-

But you could do it!
I know you could!

Danny, I am not going to write
comedy material for you.

You're always saying funny things.

I mean, kids think your class
is the funniest one in the whole school.

Is it pay? Is that it?

It is not pay. It's just that
I already have a very full schedule.

Okay, how about this?
If I hear you say anything funny...

I get to use it in my act.

And I'll give you credit for your work,
so it's not like I'm stealing from you.

Terrific compromise.

In all fairness,
I should tell you...

I don't plan on saying anything funny
between here and the subway.

- Wakka-wakka-wakka.
- I know this sounds corny.

But I think you'll understand,
because we're in this together.

I really feel good about
the people we helped today.

Yeah, so do I.

What about this one?
This brings out the color in your hair.

Nobody's gonna be looking at my hair.

- Michelle, I-
- They're gonna be looking at my hips...

and wondering if I'm wearing
some new kind of water wings.

I didn't think we could stick it out.
I'm kinda proud that we did.

You have every right
to be proud. We did good.

What do you mean,
you gave them an assignment?

Any class that's taught properly
should have homework.

I have a lesson plan that's laid out
for the entire semester.

Then it oughta include homework.

It does include homework,
and you know it.

May I ask what was
the assignment you gave them?

- Essay.
- On what?

The importance of dance in society.

That's better than puttin' some old tired
clog dance in the middle of a jazz number.

Just trying to give
the number a little pizzazz.

Pizzazz? Please!

Numbers that I choreograph don't need
that kind of pizzazz, my dear.

Well, now, that's a matter
of opinion, isn't it?

- Are you ready?
- Yes.

I'm giving Leroy
some extra tutoring.

- You're tutoring me?
- Yes.

Right.

Are you ready to tutor me now?

I just wanted you to know that
I'll have the Bach thing ready by Friday.

Good. I look forward
to hearing it.

You can forget about
the hall permit problem.

I've cleared you
with the authorities.

Appreciate it.

Do you think that I'm
too hard on you sometimes?

Well, I think you get angry with me
quicker than you do the other kids.

You may be correct.
You are correct.

Is that likely to change?

I will stop being hard on you when you
start being hard enough on yourself.

That hasn't happened yet.
I've got writing to do. Good day.

Well?

How come you have to do
an African tribal dance?

Not my style?

Well, you're not exactly Watusi.

Thank you. I noticed.

I didn't mean nothin' by that.

Look, I just know that when
an announcer stands up and says...

''Miss Sherwood will now honor us
with an African tribal dance...''

it's check out
the water fountain time...

'cause ain't nobody
gonna stay around for that.

Look, I'm open to suggestions.

Well, if you just change your music
to something more lightweight.

That way, you can just keep
doin' the same steps.

All you have to do is add a little boogie
into it, and everything'll just be fine.

I had no idea.

I didn't have any idea either
until I started calling around...

and finding you and Montgomery at ground
zero of everything that came up all day.

Michelle's really down
on herself, Doris.

And she's the lead dancer
in your choreography final.

Yeah, that's right.

I'm gonna have to apologize
to half the Western Hemisphere!

No, only those people with names
that begin with a letter of the alphabet.

I feel so dumb.

- Doris, don't get down-
- Let her alone!

She's entitled to feel
proud when she's good...

and she's just as entitled
to feel dumb when she's dumb.

I was just trying
to make things better.

Doris, when something's working,
you don't try and fix it.

Hey, listen to this.
Prelude to a remedy?

Come on, Doris.
You know how it goes.

Show me how

To make it right

Or should I just stay out of sight

I've said too much already

There's nothing left to say

All my good intentions

Went astray

I was only trying to help

I wasn't acting selfiishly

I know you'd do the same for me

I didn't know the truth would hurt

Till I saw you crying

I was only trying

To help

Love's gone wrong

Fallen apart

When I said what's in my heart

I learned the truth about honesty

It isn't always kind

You've gotta think before you say

What's on your mind

I was only trying to help

I wasn't acting selfiishly

I know you'd do the same for me

I didn't know the truth would hurt

Till I saw you crying

I was only trying

I was only trying to help

I wasn't acting selfiishly

I know you'd do the same for me

I didn't know the truth would hurt

Till I saw you crying

I was only trying to help

I was only trying

To help

It's probablyJacob Marley
wanting to borrow my chains.

Hello?

Be right there.

Is he gonna be okay?

They think so.

They think so?
What does that mean?

Just what it says.
They think he'll be fine.

It's just gonna take
a little while. That's all.

He's gotta get better.

The last thing that happened between us
was me lying to him and getting caught...

and not having the guts
to apologize.

Miss Grant,
I love that old guy.

He knows. He knows.

One minute, please.

You okay?

For God's sake, get better.
I need someone to fight with.

I am not being heartless.
I'm being pragmatic and realistic.

Greg, nobody gives a tinker's damn
about the faculty show now.

That's not the point.

Well, then you'd better educate me,
because I'm not hopping on this bandwagon.

Look, I am not being callous.

I am not a believer in the show going on
in the face of someone's anguish.

However, we have students
who are working in the band...

and they are getting credit
for their efforts.

They are being graded,
and that affects their finals.

And that affects whether or not
they will get a scholarship.

If we cancel this show...

we're going to blow some of our
seniors right out of college.

Can I at least get on your bandwagon
one step at a time?

Forget it, Mr. Shorofsky.
Morale is at a low point.

You're being sentimental and foolish.
I hate sentimental things.

We are simplifying the show. We're gonna
make it like an exam presentation.

That way, the kids will get their grades,
and we won't feel like hypocrites...

singing and dancing
while you're in the hospital.

You should write greeting cards
for a living. This is embarrassing.

Mr. Shorofsky, you are not
getting a vote in this.

I'm simply informing you
about what's been decided.

Sentimental twaddle.

Well, I'm glad to hear
you're getting better.

'Cause the nastier you get,
the more I recognize you.

Now, I'll call you tomorrow
and let you know how it went. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Good morning.

Someone stole the geranium
out of your planter.

Thank you, Mrs.Johnson.

And now we're going to have
Mr. Gregory Crandall...

who will be accompanied
by Mr.Jeffry Cummings on bass...

and Peter Yates on drums.

Hi. Crandall here.

Hope to find some of your old favorites
to set your toes a-tappin'.

Something old, something new...

something borrowed
and something blue.

Sounds like an old fuse.

And-

Nurse?

I'm Dr. Westheim.
We've not met before, I believe.

No, Doctor.

I have a patient in 31 1 -
Mr. Shorofsky.

You should notify
your superiors. He's gone.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Did everything we could,
but he slipped away.

No pain.
He went very quickly.

I'll call Dr. Stanley.

Wait 1 5 or 20 minutes.
All his family's in there with him now.

Of course, Doctor.

He just slipped away very quietly.

Probably for the best.

I thought so for sure.

- All right!
- All right!

Yeah!

Well, there's really only one
presentation left, and that's-

I would like to take part, please.

You want to do something
in the show, Mrs. Berg?

Yes, if I may.

Well, of course, Mrs. Berg.

I believe one could say...

that this is in the nature
of a dramatic reading.

When Mr. Shorofsky was injured...

one of the things
the police found on the floor...

was a letter he had written.

He wrote it to me.

I would like to share it with you.

''Dear Mrs. Berg...

We have reached that time
of the school year...

when tempers get short
and voices are raised in anger.

Some say this is because
this is a school for artists...

and that we are different.

This is not true.

There is art and creativity in any task...

that is done with love.

If a file is kept with love
and not despair...

then the person
who keeps that file...

is worthy of our respect
and our compassion.

I denied you both those things
with my anger...

and I humbly beg your forgiveness.

I am among the most
fortunate of men...

to be able to do what I love
with those whom I love.

You are an important part of a world...

I never wish to change.

Please accept my apology.

Your devoted friend,
Benjamin Shorofsky.''

Someone get the diabetics
out of this room before it is too late.

Mr. Shorofsky.
Well, you got here late.

But at least you got here
in time to see the last act.

And it's pretty hot too.
It's me.

- Let's go, baby!
- All right, Bruno!

Up! Samba!

Five, six, everybody samba!

Lucy!
