Hey!

Tonight concentration!

What's wrong with your mouth?

Did you get the mumps?

So you don't talk, huh?
Why that gag?

"I'm reserving my voice...

...for tonight's concentration."

GO TO THE Rally TONIGHT.
BEAT MICHIGAN TOMORROW.

Hey!

Hey, you!

Don't worry, Johnny.

More leaves will fall and they smell good.

It's okay.

Cleota!

Yes, ma'am?

Answer the phone, please.

Oh, is that the phone?

Don't rush me, don't rush me.
I'm coming. Mother of God.

Residence of Professor Turner.

Who? Wrong number.

Who? What did he say?

Oh... Mr. Turner...
It's not there.

He just went out to buy liquor.

Who is calling you?

Oh, I don't understand, but I'll tell you,

Dr. Damon.

Who was it, Cleota?

It was Dr. Damon.

He says Mr. Turner should come and see him,

or will he come to see Mr. Turner.

Dr. Damon doesn't speak clearly.
He seems to be mumbling.

I'm afraid it's you
that seems to be mumbling.

Dr. Damon lives next door.

Why doesn't the window open?
and he just says it?

Oh, Mrs. Turner,

I forgot this morning.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you, Cleota.

Very kind of you to remember.

My birthday is next Wednesday.

I will remember it.

I'm preparing the hors d'oeuvres.

I had said to put the
black seeds in the oven?

The black seeds?
Good grief, Cleota.

You won't be heating the caviar!

No. But it tastes like
it would have to be heated.

Yes. Well, you fix the magazines.

I'll take a look at the canapés.

I don't know how to do it.

The people for whom
I worked before, I only drank...

...without eating anything.

Hello, Mr. Turner.

Hello, Cleota.

Don't mess up the room,
because guests are coming.

Very well, Cleota, I will behave.

Yes, sir.

Hello, honey.

Hello, Ellen. Come here.

They are for you.

Oh, thanks, Tommy.

They are wonderful.

The ones in the center.

Yes. Yes. Cleota.

Yes, ma'am?

Do you want to bring another vase from the kitchen?

I also brought the liquor for the party.

Did you bring the one you should have?

I brought both...

Geneva and the other.

Tommy, you're a jerk,

but you are so good.

Did I do something right?

You know what I think...

There's your sister with her soccer player.

I have a date with Mike.

But, Pat...

Wally, I'm going to dinner with Mike...

...and then to the concentration with you.

I can't eat in training.

Why are you hanging out with that stupid guy?

Mentally, Michael Barnes
He considers you stupid.

you have to talk to me
to be able to say that.

I shouldn't worry.

I have to play Michigan tomorrow.

Did you take your vitamins today?

Yes, we are very punished...

...throughout the season.

We need some...

How are you?

Hello, Butch.

It's Wally Myers.

Has Butch come here too?

Go away, footballer.

I have to get dressed.

Ellen, aren't you excited to come back?
to see the Great Ferguson?

He just arrived at the Beta fraternity.

Have you seen him?

No. The boys told me.

Do you still have hair?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him in 6 years,

but we will soon find out.

Hey, are you coming here?

Yes, come back and you will see him.

You can talk to him...

...from tomorrow's game.

Hey, thanks.

Nobody can tell Joe Ferguson
nothing about a football game.

He is a figure of all time.

I could pick you up.

Thank you, Mrs. Turnes, I'll see you later.

"You're saying that Joe has passed
to history like Lincoln?

In a way.

Well, I guess it's become...

in legend.

I used to admire him myself,

almost.

Ellen, didn't you get to go out with him?

Officially not...
Just for fun.

That can also be dangerous.

I think we better go upstairs and get dressed.

I already shaved and showered this afternoon.

Aren't you going to put on your new suit?

I don't like wearing new suits.

They are too full of wrinkles and mortgages.

Everything is already paid.

I sent them a check.

Where did you get the money from?

That doesn't matter.

Tommy, you're behaving...

...like an old married man.

What have I done now?

I remember you used to walk behind me

and you looked at my legs.

We have been married for 6 years.

It's time for you to look at me
your legs to me.

Tommy, Dean Damon phoned.

What did he want?

I don't know.

Oh, I bet I already know.
I saw him this morning.

It looks like a professorship.

Oh, Tommy, how wonderful!

We didn't think you were going to get it...

until two years from now.

Plus it's 300 dollars more a year.

There are 500.

They will surely give you the full minimum.

It's true...500.
I'm not a cheapskate.

Oh, Tommy!

I have ways to spend that.

You wouldn't call that a 500 dollar kiss?

That's better.

I think I'll buy you one
mink coat this winter.

Come here and thank me properly

for that mink coat.

We don't have time.

Have the members of the Board already voted on it?

Not yet. But it's just a formality.

Good luck Ed Keller is coming
to dinner tonight.

Why do we have to bring in Ed Keller?

He is the most important member of the Board,

and Joe must have someone
Who to talk to about football with.

Ed is his best friend here.

He took Joe to college.

You can handle the Kellers for one night.

After what Keller
did to Don Chapman,

I can only...

I wonder why men are
so funny in smaller cloths.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't think anyone laughed
laughing out loud at this picture...

A slight smile, perhaps.

I wonder what it looks like
Joe Ferguson in minor clothes.

Hey!

It's not that I've seen him like that.

It's just an academic question.

Well, I hope you just get
an academic answer.

Well, that's all I want.

I barely remember what it looked like.

Oh, Tommy, I'm so happy for you.

They couldn't have promoted you
on a better day.

You know what day it is, right?

Friday, isn't it?

Yes, but isn't it someone's birthday?

No. Cleota's birthday is Wednesday.

I'll tell you something.

You look beautiful tonight.

I think it will take you to
somewhere after dinner...

...to show off.

We will all go out together
after concentration.

I meant just the two of us.

You don't remember how
He always bothered us...

...when we went out to dinner?

I don't think there was just one time
that he didn't come to our table...

...and draw the play of the
Washington Monument...

...or something like that on the tablecloth
with a pencil

The one with the Statue of Liberty, honey.

He always came. I never saw him leave.

A clumsy guy...

Always throwing knives and forks
to the ground.

I wasn't clumsy.

It was very elegant.

A phenomenal dancer.

Tommy, you've already robbed me again
my matchbox

They were for the guests.

I remember when I danced
first dance and the last with you...

...the last time
We went out dancing together.

It was the Phi Psi Christmas dance.

No. It was the May dance.

Do you remember how it rained?

I remember that I danced
the last one with Joe...

...because you had disappeared.

I was looking behind the ferns.

They played "Start Again"
and "Who".

It was a lovely night, wasn't it?

No. Flood.

You and Joe were dancing...

on the terrace when it started.

You were soaked,

but you kept dancing.

Oh... yes.
I already remember.

My dress was ruined.

You were wet and shiny,
like Venus and Triton.

Why didn't you interrupt us?

Oh, I had a cold.

Also, my feet hurt.

No! The new one, the blue one that's already paid for!

You didn't remember that night, did you?

Yes, I remembered.

Oh. The blue.

What's wrong with you?

Mike!

Look, Mike. No hands!

Why don't you let me take you?
to the soccer concentration?

Give me a good reason.

Soccer concentration?
Orgiastic frenzy.

I would rather go to a cannibal conclave.

Well, we can go to that one later.

Very funny.

Well, goodbye.

Michael, I think you're M-O-N-O.

Miss Gardner...

Michael!
Michael Barnes!

Hello, Pat.

"You're going to take me...

...and Miss Gardner for dinner?

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Burning Leagues.

You think you're very L-I-S-T-A, don't you?

Now I don't take anyone to dinner.

I was just walking around here.

They called me to go...

...to Dean Damon's house.

I have to go.

Michael, what have you done now?

Yes. Clear. I'll pass by there.

Who? Ellen?

Oh, yes, Dr. Damon, in a moment.

Dr. Damon wants us to go that way.

For what?

I don't know.

It seems silly to me
when are both of them coming here.

When the director of the English Department...

...he says come, we're going.

Yes. Forward. Forward.

Do you want to sit down?

You know, Michael, when I was your age,

I was also the campus rebel.

So I think you should know
that any excuse you give me...

...I probably used it 45 years ago.

It wasn't worth it then, and I'm sorry to say...

...which will not allow it to be valid now.

Yes, sir.

They are both very serious.
What has happened?

Michael has written another...

...of his fiery editorials.

This is the literary magazine
from the university, which leaves tomorrow.

Perhaps, to save time,

one of us should
read it out loud.

Sit down.

"When this is called university...

...expels men from their teaching staff...

Like Professor Kennedy,
Professor Sykes,

and Professor Chapman,

because they have been qualified
ignorantly like reds,

you lose your right...

...to be called a teaching center.

Admit that it is neither more nor less...

...than a school of learning
for bond sellers

farmers, real estate agents
and ambulance drivers.

He is announcing to the world...

that its teaching staff is subordinate..."

I wasn't referring to you,
Of course, Dr. Damon.

"That their teachers are subordinate...

...to its managers...

...and that those managers...

...they represent a political position...

...which must finally be revealed
with his own name,

which is fascism."

Oh, Michael, you've done it again.

Wait until you hear
how far it has come.

"Those teachers were not red.

They were distinguished liberals.

Let us thank God that we still
let's have a man who keeps going,

teaching what you believe
that must be taught."

Who is it?

You read it, Thomas.

"Not afraid to even try
the case of Sacco and Vanzetti.

You will read in your class on the same day
Vanzetti's last statement...

...and Lincoln's letter to Mrs. Bixby."

I hope they don't get angry
numerous friends of Abraham Lincoln.

"The hounds of intolerance
and the reaction...

...they will undoubtedly be on the trail...

...of this brave teacher,

but they will find him
brave as a tigress."

Is this a misprint, Michael?

Oh, yes, sir.

"We take our hats off
before Professor Turner...

...of the English Department."

That's all.

Tommy!

You should have consulted me, Michael.

Oh, Michael, you're stupid.

They will expel you and Tommy.

I'm not going to tell you to come in.

You'll have to stay hanging there
with the rest of the roses.

I'm sorry, but...

You didn't tell me you were going to treat the
case of Sacco and Vanzetti, Tommy.

Why would you read that letter, Thomas?

It is a good example of English composition,

and I teach in a class
of composition in English.

It is a discreet class.
I don't want publicity.

I told him as a friend.

I just want them to leave me alone.

"You don't want Tommy to get fired."
from the university, right, Michael?

No. It hadn't occurred to me.

I just thought that Mr. Turner...

...he was the only man who
I had to read...

...whatever you want in your classes.

I thought I was the only man...

What would I do against those?
stadium builders.

I don't confront anyone, Michael.

I don't challenge anyone.

It's just an innocent letter
that I wanted to read.

Say. Yes?

Hello. Doc Damon?
Ed Keller.

How are you?

Listen, I just left
of a Board meeting.

Do you remember those red ones?
What do we miss from the Faculty?

We just rejected your appeal.

We can't afford
have radicals here...

...while we are paying for the stadium.

What a pity.

What does it mean?

I mean it's a shame
that they have not paid for the stadium.

I don't hear very well on the phone.

I was calling him for the following.

Let's do a cleaning.

I'm calling the directors
from all departments.

Let's go red hunting.

Let's send them so far away...

It will take them 3 weeks to fly back.

If you don't find reds,
go after the pink ones.

What color do I stand in?

In none.

I'm here, getting ready
for a good weekend,

and I have to worry about the reds.

They get on my nerves.

I have to take something for my nerves.

Very good, Damon. Goodbye.

And remember what I told you.

Goodbye, Mr. Keller.

I guess you've heard it all.

Until the last comma.

You can't read that letter.

Michael, you have to change that editorial.

Can't. The magazines are out
from the printer last night.

They go on sale in the morning.

Do you see it?

Are you okay, Pat?

Oh... Oh no.
I'm fine.

I'm just tangled.

I'm sorry, Mr. Turner.

I guess I got carried away.

I know, Michael.

Sometimes when I see that light
in your eyes, I wish...

...to be able to let myself go too.

Yes, sir.
I'll go check on Pat.

Are you disappointed, Tommy?

Oh, it's okay.

I will read it later,

when all this trouble has calmed down...

For example, in spring.

It would still be dangerous.

Yes, I suppose so.

I already know that I am no tiger,

but I don't like being treated either
like a kitten.

Have you hurt yourself, Pat?

I don't know you well enough
to go into details.

You didn't have to keep waiting, Michael.

I'll stay here for dinner.

Phenomenal. Very good.

I wonder what he will do
Burning Leagues tonight.

Well, if he studies anything, it will be biology.

Signs 85, 34, 22!

Wow, it's Joe.

Bravo, Joe!

Hello, Joe! Joe!

Let him score the goal.

Tommy, are you wearing the
old brown shoes.

Go put on the other pair.

You don't want Joe Ferguson
I saw you looking like that.

And, Tommy,

don't act like a tiger
in front of Ed Keller.

It won't.

Those Neanderthal men
They scare me.

I will talk about football.

Who fears the big bad wolf?

To the big bad wolf,
to the big bad wolf.

Joe!

Joe!

Ellen!

How are you, baby?

You look great.

You are younger and more beautiful than ever.

If I were more daring, I would kiss you.

Damn, I'll kiss you.

Well, Joe...

Good to see you, Joe.

Oh, God, it's great.

Where is the great Thomas?

He's at home, getting dressed.

Take your coat.

Thanks, Wally.

Wally, I forgot to ask you,

Who is the other defender?

Wierasocka.

He's a Beta from Oregon.

Happens.

Hey, this is very...

Stalenkowiecz is bad.

They think he has whooping cough.

I don't like this heat.

Come sit down, Joe.

I bet 1000 bucks on that match.

I think it's safe, Mr. Ferguson,

but I wish they had you.

Stalenkowiecz, Wierasocka, Myers,

and "Whirlwind" Joe Ferguson.

Oh I'm sorry.

Do they still call you Whirlwind, Joe?

Oh, sure.
Hey, Ellen...

He was the best runner
that has existed.

Joe, why didn't you come back sooner?

Made Pete Strange
I look like an invalid.

They say you're not that bad.

Hey, Ellen...

Just regular, nothing more.

This is what Grantland Rice said.

Well, it's very... interesting.

"Never since the times
by Whirlwind Joe Ferguson..."

Don't you have anything to do?

Not until next year.

The coach wants
will help in the defense,

but they don't pay well.

Hello, Joe.
I'm glad to see you again.

Tommy!

Tommy, old man, how are you?

Good, thank you.

You're great.
Teaching suits you well.

Ellen is stunning.

That reminds me that I came loaded with gifts.

Nice blocking, Wally.

These are just...

...some flowering plants.

Thanks, Joe.

They are beautiful.

Tommy, do you want to call Cleota?

Of course, Cleota!

Cleota!

It's fun to receive flowers...

Very happy.

I remembered the big day.

You wouldn't believe I was going
to forget your birthday.

You never did.

Tommy also brought me...

...some flowers, for my birthday.

Yes, I brought you a few...

For your...

Oh yes.

I'm afraid not so pretty.

I am a lucky man.

Yes, Mrs. Turner?

Cleota, can you find something for these?

I'll have to put them in the sink
with ice.

I will prepare the drinks.

Very good, honey.

How did it go, Joe?

Good, except for the sinusitis.

How is Brenda?
I wanted to ask you before.

Good. We are getting divorced,
you know.

But he didn't know.

Oh, Joe, I'm sorry.

Well, there's no need to worry.
These are things that happen.

What's happening?

Joe and his wife are separating.

Oh, what a shame.

Oh no, it's okay.

We both got along well.

I took her to dinner last week
along with his new friend.

Wasn't it very complicated?

You are not up to date.

It's the modern way...

...to do things.

Clear. Take it easy.

Ellen, I can't take you away
the eyes above.

Hey, you have a big, nice house.

Is it yours?

No. We rent it to a bank.

Excuse me.

I hope it's Ed, the old rascal.

Hello, Ellen.

Forward. Forward.

Hi darling.
Hello, Mr. Turner.

Hello.

Hello, Wally.

You must know Joe Ferguson. Joe!

Oh! This is Joe.

I thought it was...

This is Mrs. Damon, Joe.

Yes. How are you?

You must remember Dean Damon.

Yes. Nice to see you again, sir.

Go to the library.

Tonight it will be the bar.

Before it was the dining room.

I remember you,

not only as a player,
but from my Shakespeare class.

He slept very discreetly.

I never finished reading Hamlet.

I always wondered how it ended.

Hello, Dr. Damon.

Thank you.

Thank you, dear.

I'm leaving now.
Have a good party.

Goodbye, Mrs. Damon.

I'm glad I met you, Joe...

Mr. Ferguson.

Take care, old man.
Don't break a leg for me.

I have 1000 bucks in that game.

Are you leaving already?

Yes. I must continue training.

And I must continue training for you.

What an idiot!
It's Wally Myers!

Sorry, Wally.
How clumsy I have been.

I hope you haven't hurt yourself.

No, what's up.

Well, watch that arm, kid.

Where is Joe?
Where is it?

Ah, where is it?

Jody!

Old rascal.

You, your mother's son.

Myrt, how are you?

God, it's good to see you, Myrt.

I'm happy too.

You look great, old friend.

This is phenomenal.
How are you, Jody?

Great... Better than ever.

You're getting a little fat.

What happened to your beautiful hair?

Oh, the worries, business.

I'm lucky to have anything left.

For God's sake, Ed, don't shout so much.

Are we late, Ellen?

At all.

How long has it been, Ed?

Six or seven years, right?

Six years.

Do you want to separate a little?
and greet others?

It's great to have
back to the old Whirlwind.

Hey, it's Ellen's birthday.

How about a toast?

Happy birthday, Ellen.

Because she is an excellent girl

And always will be

Hors d'oeuvres?

Excuse me?

A toast to the big red team.

The big red team.

The big red team,
the big red team

Who fears the red team...

What is that?

Tommy!

What have I done?

You better eat something.

These drinks are strong.

I'm fine, honey.

How's everything going in Detroit, Joe?

I don't know. I'm in Pittsburgh.

Well, how's everything going in Pittsburgh?

Patricia,

Where could I powder my nose?

Oh, me too.

I'll show it to you.

Tell me, Myrtle...
How is your sister?

They removed a stone
as big as a walnut.

It will not weigh more than 90 pounds.

They operated on poor Mrs. Wilmot...

...for the same problem
and they found nothing.

They looked everywhere.

And what was the problem?

Dr. Damon, the members of the Board...

we are glad that that
red threat has passed.

Definitely.

We did a good cleaning.

For example, that Professor Chapman.

He was nothing more than a damned Bolshevik.

No, it wasn't.

Don Chapman is a humanist.

How do you know it wasn't a red?

Once he spent his vacation...

...in the Soviet Union.

He only went to the theater festival.

It's a long trip to see a performance.

How is it possible that it was
Are you a friend of a guy like that?

Don and I were...

Dinner is served.

Everyone to the terrace.

Out? Where is my fur coat?

We are in the summer of San Martin.

Anyway, it's just a salad.

Afterwards we will go out to eat.

What was he saying?

Ed, we don't want to miss that rally.

TRUE. I haven't lost myself
that concentration in 17 years.

Discretion, my friend, discretion.

Why do you think there was something
suspicious in Hector's stomach?

His family did not allow an autopsy.

Not even after death?

Yes, sir.

This is my chair, Ed.

All men at a table.

These two want to talk.

Go there and finish
your organ recital.

Patricia, where is Michael Barnes?

Frederick told me...

..who has written a notable editorial.

Be careful, Frederick.

Barnes? Barnes?
Who is it?

Michael couldn't come tonight.

He doesn't like it...

What is it that you don't like?

He doesn't like parties!

I'm always very interested
the literary magazine.

What was the editorial about, Patricia?

Have your dinner, dear.

Remember that Mr. Keller...

...he has to go to the concentration.

What's wrong with you?

Who is this Barnes?

What is happening there?

Nothing, really.

Why is there so much chiton?

Since it's already out,

We can tell Mr. Keller.
I'll read it tomorrow.

I told Michael I was going to read something.
in my English class.

There was a misunderstanding and he wrote
an editorial fool.

What did Barnes say?
were you going to read?

Something important?

A magnificently small text
written by Bartolomeo Vanzetti.

I never heard of him.

Hey.

"He will not refer to Vanzetti...

...from Sacco and Vanzetti?

Yes, it's that same man.

It is part of a series.

I read many letters like this in my classes.

Letters from anarchists?

No no.

Letters from people who are not
professional writers,

like Lincoln, Sherman, and...

Well, it would be great if you changed your mind.

Put Lincoln and General Sherman
together with Vanzetti would not be very good.

Wait. Are they going to print that...?

That editorial?

We found out too late to stop it.

�It means that
that boy did not submit...

...to the publications committee?

Unfortunately, no.

Ellen, Mrs. Damon and me
we have to go.

Yes, I have a committee meeting.

What committee meeting?

Come on, Blanche.

Oh! That meeting.

I'll call the newspapers tomorrow.

No. I'll take care of it.

It's a faculty matter, Mr. Keller.

Oh no! You guys are too soft.

We already saw it in the Chapman case.

What we want to be taught
here it is Americanism.

Well, Americanism sounds good to me.

Sure, but how do you define Americanism?

Americanism is...

�Everyone knows
what is Americanism!

What do you believe in?

Well, I...

I believe that a university
should deal with ideas...

Not your ideas or my ideas,
but of all of them.

No, sir. That's the problem.

There are too many ideas out there.

You put ideas of any
type in the heads of young people,

and as soon as it is neglected,

They start to believe in them!

On the contrary.

I have been putting ideas in my head
of young people for 42 years...

without any apparent result.

Come on, Freddy.

Good night.
A lovely party.

I'll show you the way out.

Turner, think twice
before reading something.

I promise you that the directive
will take action...

...against any teacher
try something weird.

I'm telling you this for your own good.

Let's leave that.

I thought we were going to have a good time.

Ed, let's go talk business at the bar.

It's okay.

You're always throwing
speeches during dinner.

I'm not surprised you have the
stomach a mess.

Tom.

Tommy, have you had too much to drink?

No, not enough.

You have a strange look.

Did you hear what he said?

I don't like being talked to like that.

Just because it got kind of nasty
and you have taken a few...

Aren't you going to read that letter?

Yes, Ellen, I think I should do it...
on Monday morning.

Tommy! Try to be practical for once.

Try to see it as anyone else would.

I am not just anyone.

Well, try to be.

You think Joe would get in trouble...

...just because someone bothered you?

Joe? Why don't you try
understand how I feel?

I'm trying to keep you out of trouble.

I don't see why...

But you understand how Joe feels.

That is clear to you.

Yes! Joe wouldn't be confused.

I'm not confused.

I try to understand...

...what's going on in your head.

It can't be the same as
in Joe Ferguson's.

You have already given me many
problems with your head!

It wouldn't be like that if you understood it.

Oh, I'm too dumb for you.

Ellen, I didn't say that.

You said Joe and I are stupid.

I didn't say you were.
I said he was.

Well it's not. He is a great man.

In some things, he's smarter than you.

Well, you will know.

Oh, Tommy, why are we arguing?

You said I was stupid!

You've had too much to drink

or you wouldn't have said that.

No, I haven't drunk too much,
but I don't feel very well.

I feel very sad and a little sick.

I'll bring you some baking soda.

No, don't bring it.

I'll go take a few minutes.

I can do that.

Let's not take this to the point
of baking soda.

Tommy, I don't...

Is something wrong?

Tommy isn't feeling very well.

It already happened to him again at a party.

He is not used to drinking,
and it is very sensitive.

Cleota, do you want to take him?
Mr. Turner some baking soda?

Yes, ma'am, of course.

What was going on between him and Ed?

It's no big deal. I'll tell you tomorrow.

Good. Hey, Ellen, look what I found.

It's "Who." Do you remember?

Who

stole my heart

Who

It makes me dream all day

Dreams that I know that I don't
can come true

It seems...

This takes me back in time.

The May Dance. Do you remember?

It was raining.

You said you didn't give
realized that it was raining.

No, I didn't realize it.

I'm out of practice, Joe.

I don't even remember since
when I haven't danced.

It makes me feel... good.

Then why do you stop? Come on.

Well, okay.

You should know who

Who?

Nobody but you

I can answer all those questions.

Nobody but you.

Oh please, Joe, I...

What has happened to me?

It's okay.

Ed! Leave those cookies!
You've already eaten enough.

It's okay, Myrtle, it's okay.

Look, Ed. Just like old times, huh?

Watching them dance together.

I would say they make a good couple.

She dances wonderfully.

A dream that can't come true, huh?

How good you look.

Tommy.

Are you okay?

Sure, I'm fine.

I'm not going to spoil the party.

Of course I'm fine.

It looks a little greenish.

It's just that I put on the old jacket.

There's no point in being sick.
with a new jacket.

Who is it for, Ellen?

For Tommy. Tommy?

Come on, Joe.

What is that?

Oh!

It's the team, the band,
and a lot of boys.

Doesn't it bring back memories?

Hey, there it is!

Hello, Joe!

Mr. Ferguson, we have brought the band...

...to accompany him to the chapel.

I'll go in the buggy.

The old buggy.

We took it out of the trophy room.
What do you think?

Hey! Let's go!

The carriage awaits, Mr. Ferguson.

This is Nutsy Miller,
the band director.

How are you, Nutsy?

Hello, Joe.

What do you think, Ellen?

Come up with me.

Well, I... no!

Tommy is not feeling well.

You go, I'll go later.

It won't be fun without you.

�Okay!�Hooray!

Let's go! Come on, Ed. Come on, Wally.

When I win the match

We will buy a barrel of liquor

And we'll drink to Midwestern

Until we stagger

We don't give a damn

the entire state of michigan

The entire state of Michigan,
The entire state of Michigan

We don't give a damn

The entire state of Michigan

now and always

We have assured victory
with the old red team.

Tomorrow we mark...

somewhat of a winner

At the Rose Bowl
With the old red team

We want victory!

Victory!

Victory for the old red team!

Friends, I'm going to introduce you...

...to a man who needs no introduction.

A 100% great guy...

...and a great coach...

Bob Sprague!

Well, I'll be brief, friends.

All I have to say is that tomorrow,

We will go out there and fight!

Hey! What's wrong with you two?

Do they have tails in their pants?

Next, we will listen
to Captain Wally Meyers.

Well, all I have to say is...

that we will go out there and fight!

Well, friends, we're running out of time,

So I'm going to name you the team,

one by one.

Our team!

Simvovich!

Marionelli!

Marionowski!

Lindstrom!

Wierasocka!

Kreplach!

Skolosky!

Caliano!

Maneschewitz!

Kolinsli!

And Jones!

Jones?

The substitute

Friends,

we have all heard about...

of the great player, the immortal...

"Whirlwind" Joe Ferguson.

But he tells me now...

...who wants to introduce you to someone.

"Whirlwind" Joe Ferguson!

Friends, colleagues,

six years ago,

when we won the championship...

...we had a little cheerleader...

...that pushed us to victory.

You already know her, she has been
with you since then.

She is younger and prettier than ever.

It would be a good omen...

...if we asked you to
led in a song of encouragement.

Ellen Turner!

Well?

�This time I don't have
I have to get up, friend!

It's my wife.

Oh yes?

Very good! Let's go!

Scalawag!

Walawag!

Walawag, Gag!

Scalawag! Walawag!
Walawag, gag!

The big red team!
The big red team!

Brag, brag, brag!

The big red team!
The big red team!

Brag, brag, brag!

�T-U-R-N-E-R!

Yay, Mrs. Turner!

I have a telegram here...

...from the great Sam Stalenkowiecz.

Sam is in the hospital.

The telegram is addressed to your team.

This is what Sam says
to his teammates.

"You have to go out...

...tomorrow...

...and fight!"

It was great.

Now we'll all go to the Dixie House...

...to eat a steak
with potatoes and wine...

I invite

That will have to be seen.

What? Oh, I didn't mean...

I'll take it now. A joke, huh?

Tommy, let's go. Tonight it's time
a band from New York,

and we will dance until dawn.

I'm not for those trots...
My head hurts.

You're going to stop by our house.

Leave me there. I'm going to go to bed.

You don't want people to believe...

...that you are a party pooper.

They already think I'm red.

Socially,
Being a party pooper is progress.

Alright, go home
and get into bed.

This is a welcome party
and it's my birthday,

and Joe and I are going to have fun.

We'll dance the conga, eh?

Well, maybe Tommy...

...he doesn't want us to dance the conga.

Do you know how to dance the rumba, Joe?

Clear. I'm the boy from Brazil, but...

There is our house.

Good night.

Tommy, wait!
Wait a minute, Joe.

Tommy, I won't go if you don't want me to go.

I want you to go.
Go and dance.

You don't seem very enthusiastic about the idea.

No, I'll stay. You need another baking soda.

My head hurts, that's all.

Go and have fun.

Come on. What are you waiting for?

Well...

Okay, okay.

Good night, Tommy.

Take a bag of
hot water to bed.

You are very kind...

...when looking for a replacement.

We don't give a damn...

...the entire state of Michigan

We don't give a damn...

...the entire state of Michigan

Oh, what a headache.

They dance so well together.

Who?

"Who."

That's why they dance so well together.

What?

Yes, "Who."

Now I'm the one
has a headache.

Well, I'm going home.
Good evening, Mr. Turner.

Good evening, Michael.

Have you seen Pat?

To whom?

No, not again.

Good night.

It's okay, it's okay.

Ferguson, Ferguson, Ferguson.

Who

stole my heart

Who

It makes me dream all day

Dreams that I know that I don't
can come true

It seems like I will always be sad

Who

It means my happiness

Who...

Right here, on the fourth page.

What's in that magazine
literary, legs?

Professor Turner is in trouble.

"Announce to the world...

...that their teachers are
subordinate to his managers..."

...and that those managers..."

That's us, gentlemen...

"They represent a political position...

...�which is that of fascism!"

A photo, Mrs. Turner?

No, they can't take photos of me.

I don't know where it is, guys, and...

Oh, Dr. Damon!

Good morning, Ellen.

Good morning, Dr. Damon.

I was going to go to his house.

Please don't tell Tommy.

Please don't tell Mrs. Damon.

Have you seen Tommy?

No.

I'm worried.
When I got up, he was gone.

I usually hear him...

I guess he didn't gargle today.

Is that the literary magazine?

It's dynamite.
Bombs explode everywhere.

It's been a difficult morning.

I had never had a day like this...

...since Dr. Prendergast
He shot his secretary.

It's a balanced line, you see?

Move those two men further outside.

The coach showed me this play
strictly confidentially.

Come in, Ellen.

Everything is already in place, see?

Study this move carefully or you won't
You'll realize when you see her this afternoon.

This is Michigan and this is Midwestern.

From a balanced line, we change.

�1, 2! Oh!

Wally replaces Skolosky,
on the far left,

but it goes a little further.

Is Wally going to carry the ball?

Michigan rolls out.

They are watching the wide side.

That's too obvious, so also
They watch the other side of the line.

What's going on here?

They throw the ball back.

Here we go, backing up,

but we threaten an advance
the left and a pass forward.

But who are you?

Well, I am both.
I'm Lindstrom and Wierasocka.

Skolosky cuts to
the left side...

...and take out Wupperman...
the jam jar.

Wally is running to the right,

pretending to have the ball...

...but it doesn't have it...

...apparently.

Now Michigan charges again...

...about Lindstrom and Wierasocka,

trying to find out
who has the ball.

Wally runs away.
He wore it!

Hooray!

It's a double trap.

It's an old play,
but it's so bad...

...that only a football genius like
Coach Sprague would use it.

Now, without any hindrance,

Wally runs down the right wing,

continue until the end, and rehearsal!

Hooray!

Whoops!

What did you think?

I think it's fine.

Good? It's wonderful!

That play will take us to the championship!

Did I ever teach you the play
of the Statue of Liberty?

You see, Pat. It was like that.

I was going behind to send a pass.

Jonesy, the midfielder,
I took her from my hand,

he turned, and escaped the tackle.

So I...

Patricia! I already know what
wants in life...

An attractive, half-witted midfielder.

Well, I guess it would be better this way.

Yes, Michael, that's right.

Look at yourself...

...in 10 years...

giving classes,

earning maybe 5 extra dollars...

...writing book reviews.

You better let him go with Wally.
He will be good for her.

I don't believe in being a sacrifice.

It's something out of fashion.

It's true.

It's much better to leave...

or make her angry
so much so that she leaves.

Yes.

That is.

Much better for everyone.

Huh?

Goodbye, Michael.

Come back in an hour.

Something will occur to us
about that matter of the managers.

Listen. Who is it?
The hospital?

I'm the nurse.

How is Stalenkowiecz?

You have hypothyroidism.

That's bad, huh?

It's terrible.

Yes, ma'am, it's bad.

Goodbye to the two turkeys.

Goodbye forever.

Where do you come from, Mr. Turner?

What are you doing with my cream jug?

It is a side effect of
the Statue of Liberty.

How do you say?

It's a symbol, Cleota.

Maybe it is.

But surely not anymore
It's a cream jug.

Surely not.

Hello, honey.

I thought I heard your voice.

Hello.

Well I'm glad you remember
where do you live I was starting to worry.

Where have you been?

Just taking a walk.

All this time?

I passed by here a while ago.

Joe was doing the Statue thing
of Liberty or something like that.

I left again.

You were here and you left?

Now I couldn't stand that...
The Statue of Liberty, no.

The phone has been ringing all day.

We are besieged by reporters.
Ed is furious.

There will be a lot of problems if you don't give
rush to deny Michael's story,

Or have you already done it?

No, I didn't deny it.

You have decided to read it.

That's why you've been walking around.

Tommy, I don't know what to tell you.

You may have already said enough.

That wasn't very nice.

No. None of this is going to sound very nice,

But I already have what I want to say...

..and I have to let go
before I get confused.

I don't know why you get so nasty.

It's just that last night,

I started to see us both clearly
for the first time.

Oh, you saw how he kissed me.

I thought that would be it.

No. No. I didn't see it.

Did I kiss you?

It's okay.

I wanted to ask you something.

What happened to Housman's last poems?

Tommy, listen to me.

Last night I wanted to have a good time.

You messed it up.

Didn't you have fun?

Yes, I had fun.
I'm not 100 years old yet.

I decided to stop worrying about you...

...and have a little fun.

For almost an hour, I sat
as if I were 19 years old again,

bringing flowers to the spring dance,

when I was young and stupid.

Young and happy!

OK. He kissed me!
And I kissed him.

We didn't go to do it in the dark.

I hope you haven't lent
that book to anyone.

It was a first edition.

Did you hear what I said?

Of course I heard it. I'm listening.

"You said you went to a
dark place and you kissed Joe!

I didn't say such a thing.
And you know it!

I wish we had our separate books.

Tommy, stop it.

If you want to get jealous, get jealous.

Get angry or throw things, but
stop acting,

What I'm trying to tell you
It's just that I don't care what you do.

I'm trying to tell you that it's okay with me.

It's lucky he's back.

What do you mean?

With my salary, I can be very well alone,

reading whatever I want in my classes.

That's what I want.
And that's what I'm going to do!

So that's what you want.
Suddenly, that's what you want...

More than me.

It's not so sudden.

No more sudden than
your feelings for Joe.

It's... It's logical.

It's something...

It's logical, that's all.

We bother each other.

You're always chasing me,
taking the matches from my pocket...

...disrupting my way of life.

You mean you've waited
Why did Joe come to tell me that?

I thought you were jealous of Joe.

I could understand that.

But it doesn't bother you in the least...

...the idea of him kissing me...

...in the dark for hours.

No, it doesn't bother me!

So that's why you've been there.

That's what you've been calculating...

How good it would be
that he would get me out of the way...

...so you can stay
only with your books...

...and your matches and your junk.

I guess any
man would serve as well as Joe.

He is not just any man,
you know it very well.

He's always been in love with you,

and you have always been in love with him.

That's ridiculous!

I realized it when I saw you dancing together.

There was no doubt.
You just admitted it.

�Now you can't get jealous...

...just because you think
I want you to be!

I saw how you danced together so happy.

I saw how you left together...

...in that ridiculous carriage.

I saw you together years ago,

when I was young and stupid enough
to believe that you preferred me.

Something happens when you dance together
That doesn't happen when we dance!

Okay!
As you want.

If you want to be free,
So I want to be free.

And I've spent all these years...

...missing Joe.

Well, that may be so.
�It may be like that�!

�Because it is certain that
Now I'm sick of you!

Leave it! Okay, okay, okay!

I'm sorry if I...

Hello, Joe.

Hello.

Well, I entertained those journalists.

I thought it would be a good idea...

...bring them something to drink in the car.

Maybe a Coca-Cola.
Do you want one?

No. You and Ellen take it.

Oh well, in that case,

Maybe you want something else.

I know very well what it is to be persecuted
by those press guys.

Here, Ellen.

Joe, do you want to make a toast,

for Tommy's happiness?

Clear.

Well, Tommy, for your happiness.

Hey, what's going on?
What is all this?

Look, I could talk
with Ed to fix this...

No. I don't want you to do it.

I want to lead my life my way.

That's what happens.

Tommy wants to live alone.

What?

He wants to be left alone.

How do you say?

We... Tommy and I, we split up.

Just before the game?

You are both crazy.

I better go.

Nothing of that.

You're not exactly a stranger here.

You've known Ellen since
It's been as long as I have.

I knew her long before you.

What a way to treat her.

Yes, I know.
I was precisely telling him...

...that I showed up and took it away from you.

You had nothing to do with it.

He got mad at me because of another girl.

Oh, that's when I arrived.

He said he hated me,
that he didn't want to see me again.

He threw something at me.

I didn't do that.

Well, you were furious.

I thought you didn't want to see me again.

I guess I was a fool, huh?

Brenda says that shows
that you liked me

Oh I'm sorry.

I don't mind.

Who is Brenda? Another girl?

My wife.

Oh I'm sorry.

Well, Ellen knows her.
He's from Cleveland.

Brenda has always been jealous of Ellen.

I found a photo of you.

What photo?

I gave him a photo.

And he didn't give it back to me.

You were wearing a big hat.

It was red.

Blue.

I had some tapes, I made you
look like you're 16 years old.

I have never seen it.

I threw it away.

It fell on one of your eyes.

Yes. Hats like that look good on you.

Yes.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Look what you've done.

Look what you did,

remembering old blue hats.

She doesn't like to be touched
when he cries.

I've already seen her cry.
I know what needs to be done.

Oh yes?

When we argue about the girl,

He fell to the ground crying and kicking.

I didn't do that!

Be careful what you say!

Then he picked her up.

Well, this time
You're not going to lift it!

Would you please leave?

Leave me alone! Get out!

Yes. He wants you to leave.

And I can't blame her,

If that's how you treat her.

I will not allow this, then or now.

And what are you going to do?

Get her out of here. That's not right.

Of course, you have
spoiled good, brother.

Don't call me brother.
I'm not going to tolerate that.

If Ellen weren't here,
I would call you something worse than brother.

Well I'm not going to be there.

Will you both please stop?

Nobody has said a word
about what I want to do.

Oh no! You are going to solve it
among you,

making me bounce from one to the other.

Nobody bounces you off, Ellen.

I know very well when they make me bounce.

I don't want either of them.

Please let me get out of here!

Oh!

Don't help me!

You can both go for a walk!

I can't even go up
the stairs with dignity.

He was referring to me.

He told us both.

But he looked at me.

Hey, how did we get to this?

With your rumbas.

With your kisses.

I'm sorry this happened.

What you feel is that I found out.

Do you know anything about women?

You didn't know what I thought
when I danced with you?

I don't think when I dance.

I know. You only think about the office.

Ellen likes to be thought of.

I already did. I remembered his birthday.
I brought her flowers.

You will have to continue bringing him gifts,

with or without birthdays...
fur coats and stuff.

She is still young and pretty.

Hey, I don't understand you.

It's just that I'm open-minded,
that's all.

What makes me think that still
you are crazy about her...

...and are you up to something?

Don't be smart.
I never put up with you being smart.

Well, I'm not stupid.

I know you are.

Well, that's not the point.

This is too serious
to be jealous...

...or nothing more than sincerity.

A woman cannot continue
living with a man...

...when she prefers to dance with another man.

What a nonsense.
It's the biggest nonsense...

Dancing doesn't mean anything.

Just like you do, yes,

What happens to you,

the light you radiate.

A light?

Those things are too much
subtle for you,

but I have studied them.

Maybe so much studying makes you feel bad.

All I want to know
is if you felt...

...the same as her last night.

It was ok.

Oh, this is the last straw.

When a man courts a woman,

he doesn't start talking about it
with her husband.

I'm just trying to be honest.

Well, what are we going to do?

You should go up and comfort her.

She will be waiting for you.

Oh no. I don't.

You should know better what to do.

It's your house. She is still your wife.

He doesn't want to talk to me.
He just said it.

She shouldn't be left alone now.

Forward.

Well, okay.

And what do I tell him?

What did you say to him last night?
when were you dancing?

Don't be childish.

Well I just don't think it's right
Let me go up.

This is not the time for cheap moralizing.

Oh, for heaven's sake. Go.

Hello, Mr. Turner.

I came back, like he told me.

Like you said.
Eh... Leave it.

What's happening?

Nothing.

Well, I feel much better now.

I've gotten it out of my head.

It's over. It's that simple.

A girl who could sit with you
and talk about Shelley.

Well I'm glad to know
what women are like.

What was that?

I really don't know.

Just a little...
What were you saying?

He said that when an issue arises,

is when you see the real
size of his character...

...and goes to Hennick's with a football player.

I saw them there at the window
having a soft drink.

He used a straw.

Yes, but it's attractive.

And what's more, he knows how to dribble.

He is a hunter.

Come home at night with a
piece of meat on the shoulders...

...while you sit down to do
drawings on the wall of your cave.

Maybe I should hit him
with a baseball bat.

No. No.

You are a civilized man, Michael.

You don't live in the time of King Arthur,
when you were fighting for your wife.

Now, a man, his wife, and the other...

...they sit and talk about it,

calmly and peacefully.

Afterwards they all go to dinner together.

Geez, Mr. Turner,
I wish I was like you,

mature, established,

happily married,

having overcome this
anguish you feel...

when you are young and in love.

Mature?

Yeah, you know, like Rupert Brooke says...

"That moment when everything is over..."

"and love has become affection."

Is affection something calm?

Don't ask me.

What is that?

You seem upset.

What?

What made you like this?

Do we have to talk in front of this boy?

I'm not a boy!

I'll see you later, Michael.

Okay, but in many ways,

I am much older than him.

Oh God, I wish I was
back in Pittsburgh.

What happened?

Well, man, I guess you were right.

I was quite angry with you.

He threw something you had given him...

...and broke it into a thousand pieces.

What was it?

I didn't see it until I threw it away.

Oh.

Every time I mentioned your name,

threw something

I was dodging all the time.

I see.

Well, you want to marry Ellen, don't you?

Well, I've always liked it,

But I wouldn't want to go through all this.

Are you sure you understand women?

Yes. What did he say when you left?

What was he doing?

Oh, I was in a terrible state.

I don't think I can go to the game.

Your head is going to hurt for days.

What can be done then?

Bring him a hot water bottle.

Cleota! Cleota!

Yes, sir?

Fill a hot water bottle,
please, right now.

There's one in the fridge or somewhere.

Hey, I don't want to miss the game.

I hope Stalenkowiecz...
He wasn't sick, don't you think?

I hadn't thought much about it.

Of course, Wierasocka is fine,

but Stalenkowicz receives
the passes much better.

Yes? Why?

I don't know why.
It simply is.

"Why?"

Does something hurt?

No, thanks.

I guess we shouldn't
Let's go and leave her.

Well, I'm not going. Take.

Grab it by the end.

Hey, won't you get burned by this?

Wrap a towel around it.

You shouldn't stay
only with her at home,

just as things are.

Don't worry about that.

I thought these things were different now.

How different?

Well, better looking.

Why don't you take it?

Well, you said...

Well, time to go, right?

What do you do with that, Joe?

He was going to sleep with her.

No. Here.

I don't want her.

We should hurry.

Do you have the tickets, Joe?

I have them. Why station
Do they broadcast the game?

At 1210 on the dial.

Are you sure you're not going to the game?

Oh no. How are you?

Me? I'm fine.

That's fine.

It hasn't started yet. There is only music.

Let's go, eh?
Is it yours?

Do you think it will keep you warm enough?

It's very warm.

No, it's not true.

Here's the thermos, Mr. Turner.

It's hot today, anyway,

and we will carry the small blanket.

Ellen.

Yes, Tommy?

You forgot the thermos.

Take note of this, Joe.

It gets cold in the stadiums.

Sometimes Ellen freezes
and he likes hot coffee.

Did you slap him?

No! I kicked him!

Well you must have done something to him.

Well, here we are on a beautiful afternoon...

I manage to calm her down,

and you make her cry again.

I see the life he leads.

I'll get her out of all this.

Why don't you start now?

Because I have something else to tell you!
First...

Here comes the scarlet stampede.

Oh, they're going out into the field.

Let's miss the beginning,
Damn it!

In the last quarter of this game,

The score is Michigan 14,

Midwestern 9.

Our boys will have
to come up with something...

...if they want to win this match.

We want a rehearsal!
We want a rehearsal!

We want a rehearsal!

Ra, Ra, Ra.

Look, I built them a new stadium
and they can't beat Michigan,

We started the day badly.

Joe, I'm worried...

There's no need to worry, honey.

They haven't even tried yet
the Statue of Liberty...

...nor the double trick.

Where the hell is Stalenkowiecz?

He has herpes or tremors or something.

Midwestern goes to the line of scrimmage...

...on your 30 yard line.

They only have 9 yards left.

Hey, look, Ellen.

Ellen, do you see Wally?
The cream jug, remember?

Look! That's it!

Come on, Wally!

Go ahead!

Pass it!

Very good!

Joe, Joe, your old play!

Oh, honey!

Joe!

The score is now Midwestern 15,

Michigan 14.

What a play...

The old play of
the Statue of Liberty.

This is to remember.

Surely it is still
running with the ball.

Do you know what the first law is?
of human nature?

Home defense...

...against the marauders and
the predators... marauders.

You know what the tiger does...

...when the security of
Is your home in danger?

I know. You told me.

Talk to the other man,

calmly and peacefully.

It's not like that.

Michael, sometimes I'm ashamed of you.

I think we should take
something else, surely.

OK.

Hey! Hey!

That's the way to talk to them.

Hey!

Mr. Turner, what's wrong?

What do you want?
Oh yes.

It's Cleota. Don't be stupid.

We would like something else to drink.

I will prepare a strong coffee for you.

Yes.

What did he say?

Nothing.

Where was he?

I was talking about tigers.

Oh yes! But let's consider the wolf.

What does it do?

That is, when they come for their partner.

He tears them to pieces.

Just like the leopard and the lion...

...and the falcon.

They tear them to pieces...

...without saying a word.

But the last time I saw him...

...the other way around.

He said we should deliver
to our women.

That it is better to stay seated.

Okay, okay.

Michigan has the ball,

They are on their 35 yard line.

The score is still Michigan 14,

Midwestern 15.

Less than a minute left.

Now they leave the melee.

Hey, stop it!
Grab it!

Grab it, Wally!

Grab it, Wally!

Oh, God.

My mother.

Michigan has the ball in the
1 foot line of Midwestern...

...when there are only a few seconds left.

It's a tough situation for Midwestern.

Michigan leaves the melee.

The end sounds!
It's over!

Wildcat, ra!
Wildcat, ra!

Ra, ra, Wildcat!

It's over! We win!

Let's say the tiger...

Precisely the tiger...
He wakes up one morning...

...and finds that the wolf...

...has come to his lair.

What does it do?

Before I tell you what it does,

I'll tell you what it doesn't do.

Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.

It doesn't subject everyone...

...to humiliating intellectual analyses.

No. He leaves his corner like this.

The elephant bull that
there is in him he wakes up.

Can't you keep just one animal?

No, Michael, no.

That's the question.

All animals are equal,

including the so-called human being.

Besides, we are all male animals.

But you said...

Even the penguin.
Penguin.

That little thing.

He can't stand goings-on...

...when it comes to your partner.

Oh...

I can't believe it.

It is always there, within us,

although he may be asleep.

The male animal...
The couple...

When you've been married a while,

you become the couple.

Think for a moment about the sea lion.

OK.

There is your partner,

lying in a corner of the cave...

...on a bed of
tender branches or something like that.

Now who comes
swimming silently...

...through the morning mist,

bright and powerful,

dancing, spinning and blowing kisses?

Joe Ferguson.

Yes! And what do I do?

He says, "Hello."

But the sea lion knows what he is doing.

He growls. Cornea.

It growls with its horns.

He knows that love is something...

...that you have to take care of.

You know it's something that
words can kill.

You do something.

You don't just sit there.

I wasn't referring to you.

I hope I made it clear to you.

Any questions?

Yes, sir. Who are those strangers...

...what is watching us?

What have you been doing?

Drinking.

Why?

We celebrate...

...my new philosophy.

Ellen, I have found myself.

Now I know exactly
what i should do.

I already know. We've already been through that.

Maybe you should go away for a while.

Leave.

I'll be down in a moment, Joe,

with my suitcases.

She's a little angry.

Guys, what a game.

I'm going to propose Wally Meyers
for president.

Come on.

Yes, sir, what a game, huh?

What did you think when
Was Michigan winning?

If Wally hadn't
done that race...

The game didn't last that long.

Where have you been?

We stopped to talk to
President Cartwright.

For what?

Because Ellen and I did
one last effort...

...to get you out of this mess.

Ellen and you, Ellen and you.

You know exactly...

what needs to be done, right?

You are drunk.

Have you heard that?

Yes, sir.

What is moving for?
all the furniture like that?

I don't want you to break anything
when you fall

Well, I'm not going to fall.

Oh yes. You're going to fall.

I'm going to knock you out.

Oh come on Tommy let's sit down
and to discuss this.

Speak, he says, to a man of action.

Sit down, he says,

a tigress with her cubs.

How did you get like this?

Let's see if Ellen will hurry up.

Hey, Cleota! Cleota!

Don't ask for help.

I could with you and with
Cleota in the same ring.

Hey, what's all this?

You sneaked into this house
to steal Ellen, right?

You thought it was a professor's house...

...that would do nothing but talk and talk.

Yes, and boy do you do it.

I came here to watch a game.

That's a lie.

Why don't you go home?

Because I want to see it.

There is nothing to see here.

I'm leaving.

Raise your fists.

Oh, move away, Tommy.

I could break you in two,
and I don't want to do it.

Why don't you want to do it?

What would it look like if I took Ellen...

...and do I knock you out?

You are right.
It's a matter of honor.

Very good. Now you will have...

...than hitting you more than
what I had thought.

Let's go to the backyard.

Don't push me.
I don't like being pushed.

Hey!

Ha Ha! Tommy,

If you ever fight,

Don't start with the right.

You leave your guard open.

Oh damn.

The other suitcase will be
Down in a moment, Joe.

You are provoking me more and more.

Let's go to the backyard.

I don't go to the backyard.

Don't push me!

"I said I didn't
I like to be pushed!

Oh no, nothing like that.

You said not to start on the right.

�Ow!

Now you have provoked me
sinusitis again.

If you want a fight, you're going to have it!

Oh!

Hit it, Mr. Turner! Tell him!

Hit him!

Hit him, Mr. Turner!

Hit him! Hit him!
Hit him!

"Little David was waiting...

"To meet the mighty Goliath.

"We are small and patient people,

"But we will get up tonight!"

Hey, wait a minute, it's the band.

You attract gangs like flies,

Oh! Oh! My nose!

�Ow! �Ow!

Come on. Hurry up with the camera.

Come on. Pass it on.

Look at this.

Hey!

Thank you.

Get out of my tree.

Hello, Dr. Damon.

Hello, Thomas.
How are you feeling?

I'm not sure. What do I look like?

We better leave that.

Do you think you will be able
to read the letter?

That is, if you plan to read it.

Yes, I plan to do it.

Thank goodness today is Sunday.

That leaves me all day to rest.

Error...
Today is Monday.

Monday at noon, to be more exact.

What? There was no Sunday this week?

A Sunday that I hope to never see again.

You were the topic of all the sermons
of the city.

Me?

I think if you don't mind,

I will sit in your class this afternoon.

I don't see why they should have fun
only students.

I'm coming.

For God's sake, don't break down the door.

I would like to see Mr. Turner, please.

Are you a journalist?

Yes. I'm from the Daily Journal.

He can't see anyone. He is sick.

Aren't you going to go to class?

It's not going anywhere.
He is sick in bed.

Residence of Professor Turner.

Residence of Professor Turner.

The Daily what?

It was just here.

I don't want to talk. No.

Professor Turner does not
can talk to anyone.

He has a head injury.

You don't think you're me, do you?

Here everything is bells.

I'm coming.

Burning leagues.

Hello. Hello. Is Michael there?

No, it's not there,

and it is not likely that it will be.

If for some stupid reason he appeared,

you want to tell him that
Call me at Maple 4307?

Tell him we'll pass it G-E-N-I-A-L.

If you believe that,

is that you are L-O-C-A.

Who was it?

It was Burning Leagues Gardner.

What were you doing here?

I was looking for Michael.

So she went out with him on Saturday.

Tommy, you had that Ligas...
That Ms. Gardner in one of your classes?

Do you remember her?

I don't know. What does it look like?

Well, kind of...

I only had it in Shakespeare class.

Coming here...

Oh, good morning, Michael. Happens.

Yes. Come in, Michael.

Is he better now that he's up?

Far better.

How are you?

Oh, I'm fine.

That's fine.

If you'll excuse me.

Oh, Pat, wait.

I could talk to you
just a moment?

Could we go outside?

No. It's something that embarrasses you.
say in front of Tommy?

No, just...

Well, I'm sorry I
so angry on Saturday.

I said things and did things...

Yes you did!

Well, I'm sorry!

Pat, Mr. Turner and I
we are in a mess,

and I think you should make an effort...

...to understand what
What are we trying to do...

...and support us.

That is, if you care about me at all.

Oh, of course I do.

I've been supporting you,

taking errands for you,

telephone numbers.

How glad I am that I was able to
have this little talk.

And before you go,

Be sure to call Maple 4307!

Maple 430...

Was the Leagues here?

That's what I was trying to tell you.

Patricia talked to her.

The league hit him all over the nose.

I didn't even do anything!

I'm sure.

That's Wally's car. Excuse me.

Hey!

Cleota?

Oh. Good morning, Tommy.

Cleota, bring Mr. Turner
a cup of tea.

Yes, ma'am.

Good morning.

Do you want a hard-boiled egg?

Oh no. No, thanks. Nothing hard.

My teeth hurt.

I'm just... getting ready...

...little by little for class.

Do you want another cold towel?

No, thanks.

Don't you think you should go?

No. I'll just lie down...

No. I don't think it will.

How do you feel?

Do you see it clearly now?

Well, it's clear in the center.

But still a little blurry on the sides.

I guess you'd be very proud...

...of what you did on Saturday.

That wasn't me on Saturday.

He was a drunk sea lion.

I liked you playing the sea lion.

Yes. I must have been very funny.

Ellen, have you ever read...

...Hodgson's poem, "The Bull"?

Oh, Tommy, we can't have a talk...

...without taking out the poetry?

It is the story of a defeated male.

There is no such complete defeat.

You are not going to admit that this
defeat was because of...

No, it must be something from a book.

When the head of
bull is in the dust,

Life goes on and leaves you there.

It is a psychological fact.

Poets understand these things.

Do all cows react the same?

Tommy, listen.

The thing is, I don't want pity.

Mrs. Turner, it's that boxer.
I have seen it.

Hello, Cleota.

Hello.

Look, Tommy, I'm so sorry.

I didn't hit you hard.

You slipped and hit
with his head on a bench.

I know. What's wrong with your hand?

Oh, you bit me.

Ed says I'm going to get angry.

What happened, Joe?
Where were you yesterday?

Well, Ed Keller had
18 liters of bourbon.

We spent the night in his office.

Oh, I see.

Mecca! It must be Ed's pants.

I hope he has mine.

I wonder how it happened.

Oh, I remember.

We meet his tailor,

and, we were a little...

Could I have a drink of something?

Clear. Whiskey?

Yes, good.

My nerves are on edge.

A drink will do me good.

I haven't slept for two nights!

Are you worried about something?

Yes, something worries me!

And also my cold has gotten worse.

Do you want a Kleenex?

No, I don't want Kleenex!

And the damn journalists
They have been bothering me.

What did they want you for?

They wanted me to choose...

...my ideal team.

Did you do it?

Yes. It served to distract me.

Who did you put at right defense?

To Shulig, from Kansas State Teachers.

It's okay.

Look, Tommy,
What is our situation now?

I mean, Ellen's, you and me.

Don't bother Ellen with details now.

He already has enough with me...

...lying around the house...

looking like a bottle of champagne.

We ran out of liquor.

More has been drunk here
in the last two days...

...than in the last six years.

Ellen, Joe picked Shulig from the Kansas
State Teachers for your dream team,

Isn't that good?

It was difficult to decide between him...

...and Western Reserve Feldcamp.

They are both big and fast.

Here, dear.

Darling.

I don't want to.

Well, Joe, let's figure this out.

Yes.

I thought you and I could start...

...going to that hotel tonight
of Granville for a few days.

What?

I will try to be as clear as possible.

I have to start a new life.

You understand women. You understand.

I can't stay here anymore.

You have made your plans and
Now I have to do mine.

Yes, I know but not that way.

Run away to Granville!

If you are afraid of scandal,
we will go further.

Forget Granville.
We'll go straight to Pittsburgh.

What?

It's a big city.
Nobody has to know.

Of what?

About us... About us living together.

Ellen!

I... I don't live in Pittsburgh.

I live in Sewickley,

and my boss also lives there.

And my mother lives there.

My mother is not very well. My mother...

Oh, you and your mother!

Furthermore, it is a republican city.

You're not being very brave, Joe.

Are you trying to escape from this?

No, but I come from a lineage...

...of married people.

And besides, I'm not going directly to Pittsburgh.

I have to go to Washington first,

and I couldn't take you there.

You will take her wherever she wants,

but it's not going anywhere.

Oh, yes I will go!

Mr. Turner. �Mr. Turner!

Oh! You have to hurry, Mr. Turner.

There are only a few minutes left until your class.

I'm not going to class!

Aren't you going?

No!

Oh! Oh.

Oh yes.

DUE TO THE UNUSUAL NUMBER OF
REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE

ENGLISH CLASS 2-B WILL TAKE PLACE
THIS AFTERNOON IN THE AUDITORIUM

What is this?

They try to scare him with a crowd.

Keller will surely do something unpleasant.

They think he's scared.

I'm scared.

Well... Come on, Michael.

It's filling up.
Half the university will be here.

You better get dressed.

Oh.

Oh, Thomas!

Hey, Turner, wait a minute.

We just had a
directors meeting.

Michael Barnes is expelled,

and you will be asked
resignation tonight.

I'm sorry, but I stand by my position.

There's only one thing you can do...

Say you are sick,

who doesn't know anything about that editorial,

and who thinks it's intolerable...

He's not going to read that by Vanzetti...

...and he thinks that Barnes
He has what he deserves.

Only that can save his neck.

Mr. Turner would never say that about Michael,

And you shouldn't ask him.

You are trying...

...challenge the authority of the board.

You say you have made a decision.

We have taken it too!

I would like the letter
outside of Alexander Hamilton.

They are the same principles.
Have you read the letter?

I don't read those things!

He doesn't even know what he's opposing!

Very well, you say that
the principles are the same.

Why don't you read something then...

...of President Cartwright?

There are good things in your book.

Cartwright can't write
as good as Vanzetti.

How can you say that!

You're going to get in trouble for saying that.

Surely.

Hey, Turner, let's be clear...

Read that letter,

And he's fired!

Mr. Keller...

You don't get involved.

For 42 years I have been temporizing.

I must say that during that period,

I have been mistreated in this institution...

...by one Edward K. Keller after another...

There is only one Edward K. Keller.

Unfortunately, always
there has been at least one.

But there is a growing number
of people in the faculty...

...who are bothered by their
attitude towards any teacher...

...who dares to raise his voice,

even if it's only for
clear your throat.

I warn you that if you persist...

...in pursuing Thomas Turner,

You are going to meet with a fight, my friend.

Do you believe that the managers...

...they are going to fear a few mice
dissatisfied library workers...

...who work for 2,500 dollars a year?

These men are not malcontents!

Some are distinguished scholars...

...they have done this
university what it is today.

Did they make it?
And what's wrong with me?

Who managed to pay for the new stadium?

Who brought the
Coach Bob Sprague?

It refers to something bigger...

...what stadiums and coaches, Mr. Keller.

Nothing is bigger than the new stadium!

What stupidity.

Wally, what are you talking about?

If you knew where Michael went...

...with Ardientes Leagues on Saturday...

He's telling it all over the city.

I'll talk to Michael about it.

And don't be a gossip.

Michael! Michael!

Oh, hello.

Thank you.

Oh, two?

I'm sorry, I...

Sorry.

Oh!

Sorry.

Do you allow me?

Sure, Joe.

Thank you so much.

What time is it?

Well, Thomas,
time to start class.

Turner, however you read that letter,

stick to the consequences.

Joe Ferguson wants
give him back his pants.

Hey! Hey, guys. Silence.

Let's see what it is about.

If you pay attention to me, please.

If you lend me...

If you pay attention to me, please.

Thank you.

Last Friday, I mentioned...

...my intention to read you three letters...

...written by men whose
profession was not literature...

...but they had something sincere to say.

Once my harmless purpose has been declared,

The world began to shake,
great institutions trembled,

and footballers fell on me...

...and my wife.

Then I realized that
I was doing something important.

The men whose letters
chosen were Abraham Lincoln,

General Sherman,
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.

At first I chose Vanzetti...

...to show that even
poor English...

...can become
moving and eloquent.

It's not a question of poor English!

It's more than that.

You have made it more than that.

Vanzetti was an anarchist.

�And Thomas de Quincey was
an opium user,

Edgar Allan Poe was an alcoholic,

and Karl Marx was a communist!

I am not advocating
opium, alcohol,

communism or anarchism.

If I did,
would have the right to kick me out.

This is supposed to be a
English composition class.

I have the right to read
any great writing,

regardless of the
personal habits...

...or opinions
policies of its authors.

I keep saying it's
dangerous to bring him here!

It is dangerous to hide it.

If you want to politicize it, fine.

I fight for rights
of the teachers...

...and the students...

...and the rights of everything
the world on this earth.

You can't hide the ideas,
Mr. Keller,

just because he doesn't like them.

Nobody can. Not in this country.
Not yet!

It's not about Vanzetti.

It's not about whether he was guilty or innocent.

It's about us.

This is a university.

We are teachers,
and we must be impartial,

bring as much light as we can,

try to search for the truth.

If I can't read this letter today...

If it is removed before
that they could have heard it...

Tomorrow, none of us
I will be able to read or teach...

...something else than
that Edward K. Keller...

..and the managers
allow us to teach.

You know what that means
conducted elsewhere.

We have the strength of
free thought and free expression...

...here at this moment.

If we surrender to
prejudices and dictatorship,

We are cowards!

I don't know how this started...

...or how I got into this fight.

I have nothing personal to gain...

...reading this letter,

and I don't have much more to lose.

I just know that I have to read it...

If I can find it.

Oh, here it is.

My wife must have put it there.

I can only say that I fear...

..may this disappoint
to many of you.

It is not at all
incendiary or seditious.

Some may be embarrassed.

At least, I hope so.

Vanzetti wrote it in April 1927,

just after being sentenced to death.

It has been reproduced in newspapers,

in this book, in many places.

But even if they destroyed
all printed copies,

it would still last orally...

...because many literary people...

...knows it by heart.

"If it hadn't been for this,

"I would have spent my life...

"...talking on the corners
to disdainful men.

"I would have died anonymously,

"unknown, unsuccessful.

"We are no longer a failure.

"Never in our entire lives...

"we might expect to have
done so much for tolerance,

"for justice,

"by understanding between men,

"as we have done now by accident.

"Our word, our lives,

"our pain... is nothing.

"The taking of our lives,

"the life of a good shoemaker...

"and that of a poor fishmonger... is everything.

"The last moment belongs to us.

That agony is our triumph."

Well, that's all.

Is that all?

Wow, the letter is not bad.

This will be all for today.

Class is over.

"I'm going to call...

...an extraordinary meeting
from the managers right now!

Good.

Great job, Turner!

He no longer has a job.

You and your wife will starve.

Ellen, wait here.

I'll get Tommy out before
let him get into more trouble.

There won't be any mess.

Everyone was very impressed.

They didn't applaud or anything.

There was an ominous silence.

Where is it?

They don't seem like shouts of encouragement.

Tommy's not going to run away.

I'll take care of Tommy! He wouldn't want
see you mixed with the peat.

Wipe your eyes and face.
You look bad.

Yes?

Yes. Now I'm back.

Some go the other way.

There's Ed Keller!
Ask him.

I was surprised.

Come on. Go up!

Those people won't be...

Yes. We have to get out of here.

But where is Tommy?

Everything is going to be fine.

Do you believe?

I wouldn't worry about Tommy.

I don't care about him.

You are still...

...crazy about that guy, right?

I'm scared of it.

It used to be just good,

but now it's wonderful.

It doesn't seem so wonderful to me.

Oh yes, yes it is.
That letter is wonderful!

What you are trying to do is wonderful.

When reading that letter,
It was a real male animal,

not when he hit you on Saturday.

It's clear that you say goodbye.

Ah it is!

I don't matter,
but if you touch my wife...

Tommy!

Over here.

What are you doing?

We put American flags on the buggy.

Let's get him up there!

Not me. I prefer to be lynched!

It's almost the same, professor.

Don't start fighting again!

Why don't you go find Brenda?
We will send you a telegram.

Don't worry about me, brother.

I already sent him a telegram this morning.

Come on, guys. Let's go!

Put your hat on right.

You look horrible.

Don't give me that. I'm wonderful.

Yes, honey. You are wonderful.

Hooray!

Why don't you scream?
Is he a fascist or something?

Hooray!
