[theme music]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

Jawaharlal, what's happening?

Nothing's happening. I can't
seem to get my locker open.

Oh, let me try.

[rattling]

How did you know my combination?

I'm good with numbers.

How about the number 40?

As in the $40
you still owe me.

Right.

You know, this could be
your chance to get it back.

So, do you have it?

Even better.

How'd you like to
get it back with interest?

- That was our deal.
- Double? Triple?

All you have to do
is keep this box in your locker

for say, two, three..
Twelve days.

- What's in it?
- The dull answer?

T-shirts.

The real answer?

Your ticket
to financial security.

[beeping]

Oh, what's that noise?

It's trouble
and it's coming this way.

Alright, w-while
you're thinking it over

what do you say we just
put this box in your locker?

- Oh.
- Now..

[locker door clanking]

Good morning, Jawaharlal.
Good morning, Dennis.

- Look. I'm wearing it.
- I know.

I mean, yes, yes, you are.

It really is a lovely tie pin.
And very thoughtful of you.

My pleasure, sir.
And it looks good on you.

It's the kind of tie pin
that tells people

where you're coming from.

And you can wear it
with anything. Every day.

I plan to.

Dennis.

You stuff a box of T-shirts in
my locker instead of your own.

And you've attached
a homing device to Dr. Samuels.

You say you're doing this
for me?

You are paranoid,
you know that?

Tomorrow, we begin our
discussion of Thomas Paine

and why he was considered the
bad boy of the Founding Fathers.

[scoffs]
That's easy. Uh, Civil Disobedience.

He attacked religion,
he defied the authorities

and he was a revolutionary.

Yes, Alan, during
the American Revolution.

[bell rings]

(Moore)
'Uh, I have your test papers here.'

Alan.

Ninety-one, not bad.

What'd you get, Darlene?

Ninety-three. Watch my smoke.

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

Ninety-five.
Uh, what did you get, Sarah?

Seventy-four.

Last time we heard
a number that low in this room

we were guessing
Janice's weight.

Excuse me.

Huh, I made up the test,
I gave the grades.

So I think I should be
the one to ask the question.

What's going on? Sarah?

It's only one test.

Mr. Moore, this has reached
catastrophic proportions.

She's messing up
in every class.

She's been on a reverse roll
for the past couple of weeks.

We're getting worried.

Listen, there's no reason

to push the panic button.

And I think you better hurry
or you'll be late

for your next class.

[instrumental music]

I triple-checked it
and I know I'm right.

- Or not!
- Am so!

- Not! Not!
- So!

Welcome to lifestyles
of the immature and precocious.

Could I help you two?

I'm afraid you can't, Mr. Moore.

Oh, come on.
Give me a chance to try.

Ow. Okay.

"A perpendicular AB is drawn
from any point on arm OA

"to the angle AOB
to the other arm.

"Which ratio is constant
for the particular angle?

AB over AO
or OB over OA?"

It's not important
what I think.

Uh, Mr. Moore
could I have a word with you?

'You know that physics exam
we took yesterday?'

We graded them ourselves.

Yeah, you know,
Sarah gave herself a..

I can't even say it.

It's the fourth letter
of the alphabet.

A "D?"

Good, Mr. Moore.

When I asked her why,
she said she always wondered

how it would feel to fail.

Okay, I will talk to her. Hmm?

You know, maybe it's nothing.

Maybe it's just,
you know, girls..

...every month,
the pull of the moon.

That's why
they can't be president.

What'd I say?

It's okay, Alan.
I'll talk to her.

[bell rings]

Well, we're all here.

Except Sarah.

So, as promised, Thomas Paine.

These are the times
that try men's souls.

The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot

will, in the crisis, shrink
from the service of his country.

Tyranny, like hell

'is not easily..'

[device beeping]
Coming this way!

This was called "The Crisis"

and Washington had it
read to his armies.

Getting closer.

In the darkest
most depressing days of the war.

Hi, Dr. Samuels.

Sorry for the interruption,
Mr. Moore.

'I have an announcement
to make.'

I have been informing
all classes to be on the alert

for illegal
bootleg reproductions

of Fillmore High T-shirts.

Oh, my God.

Rest assured,
the culprits will be caught

and I will not go easy on them.

Carry on.

'Now, if we could return'

'to the subject
of Thomas Paine.'

Sorry, I'm late.

Thanks to Tom Paine,
the constitution included

the separation
of church and state.

Just one more advancement
we can attribute to him.

Put another way,
no pain, no gain.

[all groaning]

That's it.
Time is up. Time is up.

Pop quiz over with.
Let's have the papers.

I think we ought to form
an intense

after-school study group
for mid-terms.

- Do you guys agree?
- Yeah, sure, Darlene.

- How about you, Sarah?
- No, thank you.

Come on, Sarah.

We don't want your grades
to slip...anymore.

What's wrong with my grades?
I like 'em just fine.

Sarah, I'd like to see you
after sixth period.

Sure.

She's cracked.

She's not cracked, Eric.

She's going through
a metamorphosis

from a vital,
intelligent person

to a couch-potato.

You know, seriously though,
I saw something

like this on television.

I-I hate to say it, but she
could be suffering from bulimia.

No. It's a classic case
of anorexia.

Well, I saw something
where a person was able

to cover it up perfectly,
but-but she was

and don't laugh at this
illiterate.

Maybe she's in a cult.
Satan worshipper.

- Drugs?
- Alcohol?

You know, I think you've covered

uh, just about every TV movie
that was on this year.

I'm no expert,
but somehow I don't think

you put your finger on it yet.

You are the last person
I'd expect

to get uptight about grades.

How about...baffled?

Maybe I just ran out of energy.

Ever since I was two years old

my whole life has been
nothing but grades

prizes, scholarships,
competition.

People ask me what I wanna do
when I grow up.

I tell 'em. Rest.

Why, that's understandable.

But don't you think
you're resting a little early?

Well, I just got wise.

I'm the work horse
in our family.

My sister, Lisa,
she has all the fun.

Maybe I decided it's time
I did a little partying myself.

Well, how do your parents
feel about all this?

It's just my father.

- Well?
- Ah, he doesn't care.

He's a musician. Most of
the time, he's on the road.

My sister and I
are pretty much on our own.

So you've done all this work
on your own.

With no encouragement.

Yeah.

Well, I've seen the light,
Mr. Moore.

You're always telling us
to experience life.

Well, I think it's time
I do some experiencing.

Sarah..

Now, you are bright

and you've got
a great future ahead of you.

If you give up now with..
I mean, you've worked so hard.

Thanks, Mr. Moore.

[instrumental music]

Will you calm down?
Look at the balance sheet.

We're in
the double-digit profits.

I don't feel comfortable
taking dirty money.

And I am sensitive to that.

That's why I'm only starting you
at 25 cents a shirt.

That way,
you can ease into it slowly.

- Remember the word "Trust?"
- Remember the word "Sucker?"

- Morning, everybody.
- 'Well, what happened?'

- 'What happened?'
- What happened, sir?

Well, we talked.

- What happened?
- What did she say?

[chuckles]
She listened to what I had to say.

(all)
And?

She thanked me
for telling her.

(all)
And?

She got a 67.

- Oh!
- Sixty-seven?

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning?
When you got a 67?

Really? Hey, not bad
for not studying.

[instrumental music]

- Morning.
- Oh.

Uh, Dr. Samuels wants to
see you and I quote

"Pronto, immediately.
This means now." End quote.

Now?

Don't forget
"Pronto" and "Immediately."

There you are.

What possessed you
to call the Musicians Union

looking for Sarah's father?

Well, I wanted to talk to him,
if he was in town.

Well, he's not only in town,
he's in my office.

And he wants to talk to all
the teachers, starting with you.

Well, great.
I'd like to get some answers.

Mr. Moore,
we never call the parents.

We sit and pray
they don't call us.

That's a rookie mistake.

Sorry, coach.

Nothing to do with sorry.

Now, we have to stick together.

Whenever a parent comes here
to complain

about the quality
of the education

I stand behind my teachers
one hundred percent.

That's nice of you, Dr. Samuels.

Oh, it has nothing
to do with nice.

It has to do with
keeping control of the school

in the hands
of the professionals.

Now, it's us against him!

I just thought I'd tip you off

on how we do things around here

so you don't go
bailing out on me.

Fix bayonets.

Mr. Nevins?

Mr. Moore.

Pleasure to meet you in person.

- Mr. Moore.
- Have a seat, sir.

Mr. Nevins, obviously
we are all concerned

with Sarah's
performance lately. Uh..

Why don't you start?

Well, after I got your message

I had a phone conversation
with Dr. Samuels.

He seemed to feel that a lot
of Sarah's, uh, grade problems

could be laid in your lap.

My lap?

Uh, excuse me, gentlemen,
I think you two fellows

are hitting it off quite well.

I have a few things to do.

So why don't I just
get out of your way and, uh

you can bring me
up-to-date on this later.

Ciao.

- My lap?
- Look.

She raves about you,
you're her favorite teacher.

Obviously, you're a big
influence on her.

I ask her, "What's going on?"

She tells me "There's more
to life than grades."

I ask if she's done
her homework

she says,
"Homework's not where it's at."

You tell her that stuff?

Well, of course not.

Well, what are you telling her?

Well, I'm telling her that

grades are
a measure of achievement

and not the achievement.

In other words,
you are sabotaging

her scholastic career.

Well, I find that a little harsh

coming from a father

who has left his two girls

to fend for themselves.

What?

Well, I fail to understand how

since you are rarely at home

you can take an interest

in Sarah's schooling
on a day-to-day basis.

I'm familiar with
every class, every teacher

and every grade Sarah
and her sister have had

since they started school.

You are?

And as far as my
not being home all the time

what's that all about?

Well, you're on the road.

I'm on the road approximately
15 minutes a day

traveling from our apartment
to the theater and back.

The theater?

- You've seen "The Chorus line?"
- Of course.

I'm in the pit orchestra
for 12 years.

I came off the road
when their mother died

and the girls started school.

Mr. Moore, I'm away from home
four hours a night, tops.

Mr. Nevins, I owe you an
apology. I was misinformed.

By whom?

Well, I-I don't think
that's important. Uh..

Can you tell me
a little about Sarah's sister?

[indistinct chatter]

Ms. Meara,
I got coffee on my tie again.

Would you take it up to Home Ec
and have them clean it?

With...everything else

I'm on laundry detail, too?

Just do it.

Hey, where'd you get
that T-shirt?

Hey!

You can't run away from me.
I'm the principal.

Get back here.

I heard he's searching
all the lockers.

Don't fall apart on me.

Two more days
and we'll be sold out!

[bell rings]

Well, congratulations.

You have really outdone
yourselves on these papers.

And...here is the best one.

- An "A?"
- Way to go, Sarah.

Ladies and gentlemen,
back from the twilight zone

here's Sarah.

[all cheering]

You can't give me an "A"
on this paper.

- Why not?
- It's garbage.

Well, I don't think so.

I do. This is the worst paper
I ever wrote.

Sarah, an author is often
the worst judge of her work.

I-I thought it was excellent.

Are you crazy?
Mr. Moore, you're losin' it.

You can't tell good from bad.
You need time off.

Sarah, that is your grade.
The end.

Darlene, also an "A."

Wait one damn minute.
Darlene, read your paper.

- Come on, Sarah.
- Read it.

"The American Revolution
was a revolution not just of men

"but of ideas and words.

"And none more potent than the
ideas and words of Thomas Paine

"whose pamphlets were the spark
that lit the tinder

of our fight for independence."

Mm-hmm. Now that's an "A" paper.

Now, here's mine.

"Thomas Paine. Born 1737.

Died 1809. That means he was
72 years old when he died."

I like it!

We're talking doo-doo here.

It's simple, it's concise,
it's informative.

There's no analysis, no point
of view. It's incomplete.

No, it isn't.

Now, it is.

Sarah, your grade is an "A."
It is entered in my book.

You will have to learn
to live with it.

I can't live with it,
not in my house.

You're saying you can't go in
with a good grade

but you can go home
with a bad grade?

Did you change fathers
without telling me?

Nope.

Sarah, uh, who gets busted

if you go home
with a bad grade?

I do, of course.

Well, a little.

But I can handle it.

Well, who gets busted if you
go home with a good grade?

That's ridiculous.

Who would get in trouble

if I got good grades?

Sarah..

My sister, Lisa.

Why?

She gets lousy grades.

So my father says to her

"Why can't you be
more like Sarah?"

Like me.

Mr. Moore, she hardly
speaks to me anymore.

Okay, you got me to admit
what was wrong.

Now, will you admit that
this paper of mine is rotten?

Yup.

But you gave me an "A."

Yup.

Knowing I'd get upset
and say something.

Yup.

- You tricked me.
- Yup.

- You deceived me.
- Yup.

Fine. What do I do now?

Well..

...you can keep
turning in work like that

but all you're doing
is messing up your own life.

And you're not really
helping your sister.

So what do I do?

You can see me after school
today and we'll talk about it.

Okay.

- Eric?
- Yup.

Get off my desk!

[instrumental music]

Oaky, let's talk.

Sarah.

Listen, uh,
before your father gets here..

- My father's coming in?
- Oh, yes.

I-I tracked him down
at this dinner theatre

'in Beaver Falls, Iowa.'

I begged him to fly in
just for this meeting.

Okay, okay, you got me.

But I'm not ready
to talk to him yet.

Well, I suggest you get ready.

What are you gonna say?

I'm gonna tell him
to get off of my back

and get off of Lisa's back.

I'm mad, I'm angry.

I'm gonna look him in the eye

plant my feet
and kick some butt.

- Hi, baby.
- Hi, daddy.

- Mr. Moore.
- Mr. Nevins.

Sarah, why'd you make up
all that stuff

about me being
out on the road

instead of over at
the Shubert Theatre?

Oh, God.

Oh, come on now.
Why'd you do that?

Sarah?

I have a confession
to make, daddy.

I've been throwing my grades.

And you were
one on the excuses. I'm sorry.

Well, I know it didn't make
any sense for you

to be gettin' bad grades.

I mean, Lisa's the one
who gets lousy grades.

Excuse me, uh,
that's not totally true.

I checked up on Lisa's grades

and they're actually
pretty good.

Oh, I meant, next to Sarah's.

Well, next to Sarah's,
anybody's grades would look bad.

Yeah, and Lisa's good
at a lot of things

that I can't even do at all.

Well, I know that, princess.

But you never tell her.

All you do
is jump all over her case

which makes her mad at me.

I'm kickin' now.

Easy.

You mean,
that's why the two of you

haven't been
getting along lately?

I would say so.

Well..

...looks like I'm gonna
have to even out

the compliments for a while

by sending a lot of them
Lisa's way.

- You think you can handle that?
- I think so.

And, Sarah..

...I'm sorry I was so dense.

[chuckles]
That's okay.

I guess it runs in the family.

Here..

[instrumental music]

(Dennis)
Okay, okay, don't push, don't shove.

Plenty to go around.
Plenty to go around.

Now, remember,
you find a cheaper price

Dealing Dennis will beat it.

Jawaharlal, where is he now?

According to this,
he's still in Home Ec.

Uh-oh, here he comes.

Okay, everybody, scatter, go!

[device beeping rapidly]

[locker door clanking]

It's Miss Meara,
she has the tie and pin.

- Then where's Dr. Samuels?
- Right behind you, Dennis.

Dr. Samuels. Look..

You see, uh,
Jawaharlal and I, Ja..

Dennis, if you're going to
sell bootleg T-shirts

at least do it right.

How come you're not nailing
my kneecaps to the floor?

Well, first we'll make
some money for the school

and then we'll talk kneecaps.

Let me have a couple
of T-shirts. Watch this.

Alright, folks, step right up.

'Here we have them
in one size fits all'

You're gonna love 'em.

You, sir, come here.

Purple and grey?
Uh, I'm up to here.

First lesson is
you never try to sell

a child-size to an adult.

Got it.

Alright, we're gonna
sell them right now.

We're gonna sell them
at half price.

One size fits all.

You're gonna love 'em..

You, sir.
Come right over here.
