(Harold on PA)
'May I have your attention?'

'May I have your attention?'

'Will Mr. Moore please report'

'to the principal's office
immediately?'

Huh!

Just the man I wanted to see.

I don't believe
what they did to me.

- Hm.
- But we can handle it.

Uh, who did what?

The Board of Education.

They sent me a woman.

Don't they usually give
gold watches?

Each year they send
a surprise, uh, observer

to evaluate the IHP.

This year it's a woman. Hm.

Guess I'm stuck
with a pair of hockey tickets

and a bottle of Scotch.

[chuckles]

Look,
I don't understand these things

but women find you attractive.

Use it.

She'll be monitoring your class
tomorrow morning.

Oh, forget it.

I'm not asking you to marry her,
just distract her.

No, just forget it.

[gasps]

- Charlie?
- Suzanne.

- Huh!
- Well, this is, uh..

- Surprising?
- Surprising is good, yeah.

Confusing, uh, exciting.

Uh, feel free
to jump in any time.

[chuckles]
Oh, you still look good.

You always do.

So, how you've been?

Fine. Uh..

- You wanna sit down?
- Oh, sure.

- Are you subbing here?
- Uh, no.

I'm here as a permanent sub
now. And you?

Oh, I moved over
to the Board Of Ed

about five years ago,
right after we..

Right, right.

You're here to observe the IHP?

You're the Mr. Moore
the kids are talking about.

- Oh, Charlie, I'm impressed.
- Wow!

[chuckling]

Well, it looks like
I'm going to be evaluating you.

Once again.

[laughing]

Oh..

[bell ringing]

- I go.. I gotta go.
- Hey, listen.

Uh, asking you this
is probably a terrible mistake--

- I can't.
- But.. Right.

Not tonight.
How about tomorrow night?

Great.
Uh, do you wanna have dinner?

Sure,
I'll be coming from a meeting.

It'll be hard
to pin down a time.

Uh, we could meet at my place
and figure it out from there.

You still live
above the flower market?

- Sometimes it's a bed of roses.
- Hm.

It's a date.

[instrumental music]

And did you see in physics?

I just know that woman
was writing something about me.

[scoffs]
She's evaluating
the entire program, Maria.

She couldn't care
whether you lived or died.

You're just saying that
to try and make me feel good.

I'm sorry..

- Good morning.
- Wow!

- What happened to you? A-oo!
- Whoo!

You look like you've been
blessed by the fashion fairy.

I believe it was
Beau Brummell who said

"A gentleman should dress
to indicate

he is aware of the times
in which he lives."

And the times
are outrageously fashionable.

Thank you, Darlene.

Hey, if you're trying to impress
that spy

from the Board Of Education,
I don't think you're gonna do it

by wearing Ben Vereen's
hand-me-downs.

I'm not trying to impress her.

If you're not,
you're the only one who isn't.

Yes, she's got all
our other teachers freaked out.

In biology, Mr. D'Amato

dissected his sandwich
and ate his frog.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, I saw that sandwich.
He made the right choice.

May I have your attention,
everybody?

Alan.

Would you like a cushion?

[chuckles]
No, thanks. I'll be fine.

Ms. McGee, Mr. Moore.

Well, I don't wanna waste,
heh-heh

anymore precious moments
of quality teaching

from this
good-looking professional.

Not a second is wasted in
this IHP program. Right, kids?

- Right.
- Right.

Thank you, Dr. Samuels.

Well, I guess
you've already met the students.

Yes, Charlie. Thank you.

"Charlie?"

Mr. Moore and I
met five years ago.

(Charlie)
'Uh, Dennis, I believe
you're first today.'

We've been working
on individual projects.

Okay, confidentially,
man to man.

- You and her?
- None of your business.

- Alright.
- Alright.

Uh, Dennis, you want to explain
your project to Ms. McGee?

Sure.

Mr. Moore..

Charlie to you.

Dennis.

Mr. Moore has us analyzing
small events in our lifetime

that we believe will have

major ramifications
on the future of civilization.

Very impressive project.

Not as impressive as knowing
this man in his prime.

Hey!

This is my prime, okay?

But I think we should continue.

Did you ever see him on stage?

- Darlene, what did I just say?
- Oh, come on.

[indistinct chatter]

He was terrific.

Chekhov, Ibsen, Strindberg.

Very heavy stuff.

Hey, I did musicals, too.

Perhaps, we should move along.

Dennis.

The small but tremendously
significant event

that I have chosen
is the home-video revolution.

But, but that can wait.

How often do we have a visitor

from Charlie Moore,
the early years?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

How did you meet?
Personal columns?

Two lonely people
in a singles' bar?

Janice,
nobody's interested in this.

Actually, we met at "The Best
Little Whorehouse In Texas."

- Okay, I'm interested.
- No.

- The play. The play, Alan.
- Oh.

(Charlie)
We were sitting
next to each other. Okay?

Uh, Dennis, please continue.

The video revolution
has taken communication

out of the hands of the elite

and put it into the hands
of the common people.

That is,
for those who can afford

the 1500 bucks for the system.

- Any questions so far?
- Yeah.

What attracted you
to each other?

(Jawaharlal)
Uh, please tell us
from the beginning.

[instrumental music]

(Suzanne)
'I've always loved
this apartment.'

[Suzanne sighs]

- Still, into jazz, I see.
- Madly.

[jazz music on stereo]

Oh, Charlie, you didn't.

I did.

- Thanks for remembering.
- Oh.

[sighs]
What about the wine?

It's breathing.

- That makes one of us.
- Mm-hmm.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

We're gonna be riding
in the same car.

[whistling]

It's nine o'clock.
Where's Mr. Moore?

He is not here yet.

I can see that. Where is he?

If the inspector comes in, uh

tell her that, uh, Mr. Moore

uh, stepped out to pick up

some very important
research materials.

Are you asking us to lie?

I'm asking you to fudge.

This is history, not ethics.

Never mind.

I'll stay here
and teach you myself.

Oh, happy day.

What were we working on?

- Uh, individual projects.
- Like what?

Like, how the invention
of the microwave oven

has altered the shape
of modern marriage.

Not to mention my cat.

- Ew!
- Shut up.

And that man
has a license to teach?

Alright, let me show you
some real teaching.

Let's talk about..

...the development
of the atomic bomb.

The Manhattan Project.

Actually, it was called
the Manhattan District.

Right, and you have to talk
about the Cavendish Lab

at Cambridge in the 1930s.

Earlier.
You have to go back to Germany.

Shouldn't we be talking about
the politics of the time?

I can circulate my term paper
on Heisenberg

and the German effort.

Oh, that's a good one, right?

Okay, the Manhattan Project.

Morning, everybody.
Sorry I'm late.

- Good morning, Mr. Moore.
- 'Good morning.'

Over here, please.

Why weren't you here on time?

The inspector
could have come by.

Oh, don't worry.

Well,
I had to take over your class.

Why are you wearing sunglasses?

I didn't get much sleep.

Don't you know my whole program
is under siege this week?

Is this how you take care
of our interests?

You're a teacher.

You can't be running around
all night.

Morning, everyo..

Morning, Ms. McGee.

Morning, Dr. Samuels.

Enjoy the hockey game.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

Dr. Samuels,
those hockey tickets.

- I won't be needing 'em.
- Mr. Moore..

I just wanna show
my appreciation

for your handling you-know-who.

Yeah, but I think
you've got the wrong idea.

- Here. Say no more.
- No.

No, no. No. No.

- Okay, I'll keep them.
- Mm-hmm.

The main thing is
you neutralized the enemy.

Charlie, what does he mean?
Neutralize who?

Oh, uh, the, uh, the lady
from the Board of Ed.

But I didn't.
Uh, we-we had dinner together.

- Wait, you what? You jaded her?
- Well..

Trying to make life easier
for you and Dr. Samuels?

No, Bernadette,
we're old friends, see..

Sure, now.

Charlie,
I think that's despicable.

Oh.

[instrumental music]

[jazz music on stereo]

More soup?

Mm.

Hey, you wanna try it
before you add the salt?

Well, I-I don't have to,
Charlie.

You never put enough salt
in your soup.

I have changed.

I now add enough salt
to my soup.

And anticipating what you'd say,
I put in extra salt.

Mm. Delicious.

So, what do you think?

About what?

Come on, Suzanne. Me, my class.

[chuckles]
Oh, not now, Charlie.
I know you.

And what's that
supposed to mean?

I know you, Charlie.

I have a few criticisms,
but if we get into it now

you'll get defensive,
we'll have an argument.

It'll ruin the whole meal.

I don't get defensive.

Uh, Charlie,
I know how you operate.

Operate?

Just tell me your criticisms.

[clears throat]
Okay.

First..

Uh, they're small.

[exhales sharply]
But you don't put your aim
on the board.

[laughing]

I don't put my aim
on the board?

[chuckling]
Suzanne, these kids are bright.

By the time
I put my aim on the board

they're halfway through Harvard.

See? See,
you're getting defensive.

What else?

- It's your lesson plans.
- I don't do lesson plans.

Exactly.

Lesson plans, eh? Aim.

You know, it's all
coming back to me now.

The basis of our relationship is

is that you are always right,
I'm always wrong.

No, Charlie. You just can't take
criticism, that's all.

You couldn't take it
as an actor.

You can't take it as a teacher

and you can't take it
as a cook.

Now wait.

Come on, what are we doing here?

We're just repeating
the same arguments

we had five years ago. Huh?

I thought we'd grown a little.

I thought we were very mature
last night.

[chuckles]

- Extremely.
- Hm.

And I was getting defensive
about, uh..

...silly little criticism
that had

very little to do with me
as a teacher.

Just bureaucratic gibberish.

Are you calling me a bureaucrat?

[chuckles]
You are the one

with the briefcase
and the sensible shoes.

[scoffs]
Sensible?
They happen to be Italian.

Do you know how much these
cost me, do you have any--

Now, now
who is getting defensive, hm?

Charlie, I offer you a few bits

of constructive criticism
about your teaching

and you respond
by attacking my persona.

It was.. Why-why do you always
go for words like "Attacking?"

Why do you always use words
like "Always?"

No, and "Persona?"
What the hell does that mean?

Oh,
you want something more simple?

How about "Coat?"

"Door."

- How about "Allow me?"
- How about "Taxi?"

How about "Good luck?"

[instrumental music]

I guess the problem is
I always pictured Mr. Moore

with actresses,
you know, the flashy

beautiful, theatrical type.

Type that make me sick.

I always picture
Kathleen Turner.

With Mr. Moore?

No, with me.

Let him have his own dreams.

The fact that Mr. Moore
can find someone at his age

has to be reassuring.

Oh, I'm sure
he'd love to hear that.

[bell ringing]

- Morning.
- Good morning.

Forget the morning.
How was the night?

Fine.

Mr. Moore, you-you're not
wearing your shades today.

- I'm worried.
- I believe this is a classroom.

Could we do some class work?

Is something wrong, Mr. Moore?

No, nothing's wrong.

- Morning, everyone.
- Good morning.

Today we'll begin by discussing
the American Indian Movement.

What do we know?

'Simone.'

Well, AIM is a militant movement

organized in 1968

to promote civil rights
for Native Americans.

Their objectives are reform
and pass treaties

um, the observance--

Excuse me.

Mr. Moore, is it a coincidence
that the acronym AIM

is displayed so prominently
on the board?

Oh, not at all, Ms. McGee.

It does fit in the category

of '60s activist movements.

Certainly not more significantly

than SNCC, SCLC.

- Or FTA.
- But I am not teaching the-

You deliberately put that up
on the board--

Ms. McGee, could we step outside
for a moment?

- Ooh.
- Ooh.

[indistinct chatter]

Now, look...we are still arguing
about last night.

Which is okay,
but not in front of my class.

Alright.

I'm sorry about last night.

I had to leave.
It was an old argument.

It was a new argument,
it was an old solution.

I mean, we fight, you leave.
Just like five years ago.

- You didn't stop me.
- Well..

As I recall, I was nursing
a nose bleed at the time.

Hm.

So what do we do?

Well, the next time we argue,
even if I start it

you don't take the easy way out
and run away.

- It's not my style, Charlie.
- But, Suzanne--

Mr. Moore, I believe
you have a class waiting.

Well,
that sounds like running away.

I guess that's what I do.

Well, at least I'm not bleeding.

Okay. Where were we?

Uh, Simone.

Are you okay, Mr. Moore?

- Yeah, I'm okay.
- You don't look okay.

I'm a little uncomfortable

having my class involved
in my love life.

Whoop! The old double standard.

- Uh-huh.
- Yup.

I don't follow.

You get involved
in our personal lives

but when it comes to your life,
you don't wanna know us.

Yeah, they're right.
Definite double standard.

But I'm not one of you.
I'm your teacher.

So?

So this was
a, a private situation

between adults.

- So?
- So..

It's something that happened,
and it's over.

She dumped you, right?

- He dump her.
- Now, wait a minute.

Look at him,
that is a dumped man.

No way.

Nobody got dumped. Okay?

Okay. No double standard.

Uh, very briefly

Ms. McGee..

Suzanne and I
were once very close

and it looked like
we might be again.

And it didn't work out.

- And that's it.
- Why not?

[sighs]
Well, i-it's not important
why. Okay?

I bet you'll miss her.

Well, of course, I'll miss her.

I mean,
Suzanne is a-a wonderful woman.

She's, she's beautiful,
she's bright, she's funny.

- She's back.
- She's back..

You never told me I was funny.

You would have told me
I was wrong.

Probably.

I just came back
to tell you that..

...I think
you're all very fortunate

to have Charlie as a teacher.

Now, however
our personal life may appear

my report will indicate
that his work is creative

challenging and innovative.

- Suzanne--
- And, Charlie..

I just wanted to say
a, a nicer goodbye.

- Uh, will you excuse me?
- Go!

[instrumental music]

Look.

Charlie, we're both adults.

I think we know reality
when we see it.

You and I
are totally incompatible.

Uncontrollably.

So then I guess we shouldn't
see each other anymore.

Absolutely not.

- How about tomorrow?
- I was thinking tonight.

Tonight?
No argument from me, no.

[instrumental music]
