[theme music]

Alex. Alex, I'm going to be
showing six Mexican teachers

around the school next week.

Tell me, how does this sound?

[speaking in foreign language]

Good, good..

But you know, you just welcomed
six donkeys to the library.

I'll have to fix that.

Ah, Senor Moore!

Uh, since I'm going to be pretty
busy with my Hispanic compadres

I would appreciate
you taking over as coach

of the academic team.

Fine, uh, if you'll get me out
of two weeks lunch room duty.

You got it!

I knew it,
should have asked for three.

[bell ringing]

- Hey.
- Excuse me.

Dr. Samuels,
Mr. Freelik is here.

The recruiter from Harvard?

And he needs to know how long
to schedule the interviews

for the IHP kids.

Fifteen minutes.

Alan, I hardly think
that's enough time

for all the interviews.

It's all the time I'll need.

Once he meets me, he won't need
to talk to anyone else.

You know what, Alan,
one day, that attitude of yours

is gonna get you
into a lot of trouble.

- Yeah!
- Maybe.

But today, it's gonna
get me into Harvard.

[upbeat music]

[instrumental music]

I have to phone my mom
and tell her the good news.

What good news? You haven't
even met the guy yet.

No problem, he'll love me.

I wouldn't go to Harvard
if you begged me.

- Oh, yeah, sure.
- What?

The whole place
reeks of elitism

privilege, snobbism
and materialism.

- So, where are you going?
- Yale.

[scoffs]

The drama school, fool.

Jack, I feel as long
as I'm in New York

it only makes sense
to go for trout.

Yeah, alright, alright,
I'll meet you in Roscoe

and then we'll fish
the Beaver Kill.

- E-excuse me, could I use--
- Almost done, almost done.

Yes, oh, alright,
I-I brought everything

including my new graphite rod.

And no, you may not borrow it.

I-if you wouldn't mind, sir,
I would like to use..

Alright, alright,
I'll bring an extra rod.

I'll-I'll bring the, uh, Western
Series Freestone, alright?

Well, I should be out of here
by about, uh, 2:00.

Oh, they've got some
very bright kids here.

But you know Harvard, we only
take, uh, the cream of the crop.

[chuckles]
Well, after this I have to go
to Bronx Science, and..

It's in the Bronx.

Yes.

Well, you have quite an
impressive record here

Mr. Pinkard.

You know, it's so refreshing
to see someone

who not only has a high IQ,
but knows how to use it.

[chuckles]
Well, I always like to say

"You can have the finest
Western Series Freestone rod..

...but if you don't know how
to use it, what's the point?"

You know
the Western Series Freestone?

[scoffs]
I wouldn't step into the
Beaver Kill River without it.

You know the Beaver Kill?

Oh, if you know fly fishing,
you know the Beaver Kill.

Yes, yeah!

- Sir, can I be honest with you?
- Mmm-hmm.

All my life, I've wanted
to go to Harvard.

It's the best.
There's nothing like it.

Cambridge, the Coop,
Harvard Yard, Elliott House.

I've dreamed of it.

But I have a confession to make.

There's one other reason
why I want to go to Harvard.

Yes.

I wanna fish
the Upper Piscataquas River.

You know the Piscataquas?

Well, it's nothing I would put
on my application form, but..

...somehow, I...I just felt
I could tell you.

Tell me?
Why, it's music to my ears.

You remind me of the son
I never had.

Thank you, sir.

Well, I've seen enough here,
you're ready to go to Harvard.

- I am?
- Mmm-hmm.

- I am!
- Yes.

Now, this isn't
our regular policy

but I'm going to recommend
early admission.

You could move on campus
and start classes immediately.

Oh, well, I'm, I'm speechless.

I haven't felt this way
since I caught my first walleye.

Well, glad to help you
reel it in, son.

I'll just speak
to the Admissions Committee

and then, you and I have a date
with the Piscataquas River.

[instrumental music]

Alan, Harvard,
congratulations.

I'm-I'm sure you're gonna be
really happy there.

Well, thanks, Arvid.

And I'm sure you'll be happy

when you eventually get to,
uh, Caltech.

Wh-wh-what's wrong with Caltech?

Oh-oh, nothing, nothing, uh

you'll be comfortable there,
you know, with your own sort.

My-my-my own sort?

Well, as for me,
it's time to move on.

I've accomplished
all of my goals here.

Except for one.

You've just been kissed
by a Harvard man.

You're about to get kneed
by a high school girl.

[bell ringing]

Good morning, everyone.

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

Congratulations, Alan.

You'll do very well at Harvard.

[chuckles]
Tell me about it.

[instrumental music]

Okay, let's take our seats
and get started, shall we?

Yo, man, this is a drag,
I got plans.

Eric, you've got to live up
to your responsibilities.

Me, I'm moving on
to bigger and better things.

- And you're my sub.
- I'm not your sub, I'm the sub.

Okay, "The sub."
Happy? That is so childish.

Mr. Moore, before we begin

there is something
I would like to say.

Okay. Uh, listen,
everybody, uh..

Alan has something
he wants to say.

[all groan]

Mr. Moore,
members of the academic team

it is with a heavy heart
and great reluctance

that I, as your captain--

Uh, Alan,
is this a resignation speech?

Oh, yes,
as a matter of fact, it is.

We don't wanna hear it.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
At least let him finish.

Mr. Moore,
we've had to listen to him

resign from the debate team,
resign from the newspaper.

And the student council.

He even made a speech
when he turned in his bus pass.

I'm saying farewell
to the people and places

that are important to me.

So why are you bothering us?

Just say goodbye to your
accountant and your mirror.

Yeah, Alan, I mean,
you're going to Harvard. Yippee.

Who cares, man?
Get lost. Take a hike.

Do I detect some envy here?

Well, let's just clear
the air right now.

Excuse me, Alan, uh, I think
the air is fairly clear.

You're right, Mr. Moore.

I was merely going to very
graciously hand over my position

as captain of the academic team
to Darlene.

You know, Darlene,
in a way, I envy you.

I mean, here I am,
moving on to adulthood, and..

...you'll still be enjoying
the childlike simplicity

of your wonder years.

Alan, that's,
that's a little patronizing.

Well, hey,
I was trying to be gracious.

Well, you're failing miserably.

Et tu, Simone? That hurts.

You know, I might as well
tell you this now

that it doesn't
matter anymore.

For many years,
I had a major crush on you.

'I wrote you love poems
I could never send.'

'I kissed your picture
in the yearbook.'

But then I began to agree
with what Sarah and Darlene

said about you.

What?

(Alan)
'Your little
Miss Goody Two-Shoes act'

was just a put on.

You know how I figured it out?

You got the hots for Eric,
Mr. Stud.

Oh, sure, I was jealous at first
but how can I be mad at Eric?

He's a loser,
but I love the guy.

Excuse me, "Loser?"

Oh, I'm just saying,
you're probably not going to do

well in life, but hey,
it's okay, it's not a crime.

Alan, uh..

Look at Dennis.

He's great.

Smart, funny..

...but there's something
unattractive about him.

I mean, he has to scrape the
bottom of the barrel for friends

and, and he could only find one.

Oh, hey, hey, hey,
you're talking about my best..

(Alan)
'Arvid, Arvid, Arvid, Arvid.'

It's not your fault.
We're all to blame.

[scoffs]
I remember looking at you
in junior high

and saying to myself

"My God,
he's turning into a nerd."

I didn't do anything to stop it,
I just watched it happen.

And I'm sorry.

Are you finished?

Yeah! Are you done?

Yes.

[both scoff]

As for you new kids..

Oh, I know.. Don't tell me,
I know you're upset.

It's only natural.

Didn't get a chance to know me.

Anyway, uh, where was I?

Uh, I-I.. Alan, heh...could we
step over here for a moment?

I wasn't finished
with my resignation speech.

No, you are finished,
believe me.

If-if I could offer you just
a couple of words of advice..

Mr. Moore, now that I'm leaving

it's given me
a certain perspective.

Now, don't take this
the wrong way, but..

...I've noticed
your advice sometimes

creates more problems
than it solves.

Is there a wrong way
to take that?

[chuckles]
I'm just suggesting that

you're too involved
in your students' lives.

I mean, they're growing up.

So let them.

Hey, just one man's opinion,
think about it.

Oh, Alan, good, I found you.

Listen, Dr. Samuels
wants to see you

in his office right away.

[scoffs]
Oh, that Harold.

He probably wants to say goodbye
and give me another hug.

I hope he doesn't cry again.

Thanks, dear.

"Dear?"

[knocking on door]

[speaking in foreign language]

I'm afraid I've just received
some very bad news.

Sir?

There's a problem with
your going to Harvard.

What?

There's been a freak accident.

Harvard blew up?

No, Mr. Freelik, he's dead.

Hasta la vista.

[instrumental music]

It's true. He was fishing
in the Beaver Kills

fell off a rock,
and ay, caramba.

That's terrible.

Yeah, he never got a chance
to tell Harvard

of his desire to get you in.

Didn't he leave a will?

You don't comprendo?

The man drowned this morning.

He's still wet.

This is totally unfair.

Wait a minute,
what about Mrs. Freelik?

What about her?

Well, I'm sure she'd wanna honor
her husband's last wish.

His last wish was probably
for a life jacket.

[instrumental music]

Okay, question one, biology.

"Name the phylum of animals
with a two-valved shell."

Mr. Moore,
what is Alan doing here?

- 'Yeah.'
- 'Yeah.'

It's a good question,
why not ask him?

- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here, Alan?

Well, uh, well, I've just been
rethinking a few things

I said in my resignation speech.

Go suck a tomato, Alan.

I deserve that.

Can I be honest?

Oh, no, not again.

Once a lifetime is enough.

Please.

I got carried away with Harvard.

Simone..

...I'm sorry I called you
a Goody Two-Shoes.

'And, Sarah and Darlene, I'm..'

'...sorry I got you
in trouble with Simone.'

I didn't mean to single you out.

Everybody says that about her.

And-and-and, Eric..

...when I called you a loser,
I meant only in this class

but compared to the rest
of the world, you're a winner.

'And, and..'

Arvid!

Arvid, are you any more
of a social outcast than moi?

'I don't think so.'

It was just my infantile need
to put someone else down

to make myself feel better.

Surely, Dennis,
you can understand that.

Well, yeah..

I'm sorry,
this isn't coming out right.

I'm usually the most articulate
one in the class.

I guess humility
isn't my forte.

What am I trying to say here?

I think you're trying
to say you're sorry.

Oh, that's it.

I-I'm trying to apologize
to everyone.

'All of that stuff I said,
I didn't mean it.'

Oh, come on, senator.

You said it, we heard it,
you meant it, forget about it.

Yeah, Alan,
why should we forgive you?

It's not like you're gonna be
around here much longer anyway.

- 'Yeah, that's right.'
- Yeah, that's right.

Well, I, uh..

I guess I'm in the way here.

Mr. Moore, I hope you know
I regret what I said to you.

I know, Alan. Thank you.

Nice torpedo job on Alan.

- Oh, come on..
- Oh, come on, Mr. Moore.

Are you forgetting
what he dropped on all of us?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

He just walked back in here.

He was eating
a jumbo grilled sandwich.

Yeah, I'd like to know what
that nice act was all about.

- 'Yeah.'
- Yeah, come on, Mr. Moore.

He was obviously patronizing us.

Maybe he would like
to leave Fillmore

feeling that
you're still friends.

Alan said some things
that you can't excuse.

Like things
that you said to Alex

when you thought
he stole your ring?

I mean, we-we've all said
things that we regret.

It's just that Alan
elevates it to an art form.

I-I-I think his apologies
were sincere.

I mean, is this really
the way you wanna

send him off to Harvard?

No, we'd rather slap
some stamps on his forehead

and stuff him in a mailbox.

Come on, come on. Think about
how far you've come together.

Think about all the experiences
that you've shared with Alan.

Think about what he's meant
in your life.

Okay, okay. Uh..

In spite of that,
couldn't you be nice to him?

[instrumental music]

Senor Moore,
just the man I wanted to see.

How is Alan taking
this whole Harvard thing?

Well, at first, he was really
excited about going, and..

...now, everyone else is
really excited about him going.

Where's he going?

Harvard.

Is he going up for el funerale?

What "El funerale?"

Didn't Alan tell you?
Mr. Freelik died.

Taking with him Alan's chances
for an early admission.

El kaputo.

[instrumental music]

- Good morning, Alan.
- Hi.

Uh, listen, uh, you got
a minute before class?

Sure, got all the time
in the world.

I guess that's true
since Mr. Freelik

sleeps with the fishes.

- You know?
- Yeah. Sorry.

How am I gonna tell everybody
I'm not going to Harvard?

I don't know.
I'm glad I'm not you.

Well, I was planning
on waiting until I get back

into everybody's good graces,
and then tell them.

Well, the longer you wait,
the harder that's gonna be.

I-I promise, the moment
they start to like me again

I'll tell them.

You have a plan B?

[sighs]

You're right, it's, uh,
time to face the music.

Yeah.

♪ For he's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ For he's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ For he's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ Which nobody can deny ♪♪

[applauding]

- Me? A jolly good fellow?
- Yeah, likeable, too.

Alan, we want you to know
that we forgive you.

- And we'll miss you.
- 'Yeah.'

[chuckles]
Well, I, uh..

- We've even brought you gifts.
- 'Yeah!'

Oh, no, not gifts, too.

That's what I said,
but they wouldn't listen to me.

Next week, you'll be looking out
over Harvard Square

and maybe these gifts
will help you to remember us.

Alan, here's a sweater
for those cold Harvard nights.

And here's a scarf
for those cold Harvard days.

I got you a mug for all those
cold Harvard beer fests.

Uh, here's five
of the twenty I owe you.

And, uh, here's an umbrella
that somebody gave me

but I didn't like it.

Hey, I made you a Dan Quayle
paperweight out of clay.

Be careful, the foot
in its mouth isn't dry yet.

Alan, I couldn't think
of anything clever to give you

so, I thought
you might like this.

It's a picture
that Dr. Samuels took of us

at the beginning
of the semester.

Wow, who would have thought then
that, that one of us

will be leaving so soon?

We're all gonna miss you, Alan.

- 'Yeah.'
- Yeah.

Mmm-hmm.

I would say they are
really liking you now.

(all)
Speech, speech, speech.

[applauding]

I'm sorry, I'm getting
a little misty here.

But friendships like yours
mean everything to me.

Don't worry, Alan.

You'll make all new friends
when you get to Harvard.

- Yeah.
- Well, yeah.

Harvard..

I'll never find friends
like you at Harvard.

- Aww, sure you will.
- 'Yeah!'

Wow, they really like you.

No. No, this is a once
in a lifetime experience.

Well, I've just realized,
with all of the love

here in this room..

...I can't leave now.

Harvard can wait.

I'm gonna stay right here
with all of you.

Alan, getting a few gifts is not
a reason to pass up Harvard.

Yeah, it's really not, Alan.

Okay, the...real reason
I'm not going to Harvard

on early admission is, uh..

...I've got a lot
of maturing to do.

[coughing]

Okay.

The main reason is..

...Mr. Freelik died.

- What?
- Say what?

He drowned in a fishing accident

before he could make
the arrangements.

- Oh!
- Oh!

I-I was afraid to tell you
because I thought you'd hate me.

I should have known better.

I trash you guys
and you throw me a party.

You're the greatest.

[instrumental music]

And so, I guess, in a way,
I was driving the wrong way

down the road of friendship.

Thank you, Alan.
Guess that wraps it up, huh?

Well, you know,
I'd just like to say that, uh

when I was your age,
we didn't get quite so crazy

about going to college.

I guess we all
overreacted a little.

- Yeah!
- Yeah, that's true.

Of course, eventually,
Alan is going to go to college.

Harvard.

And you know,
I could use those gifts.

[instrumental music]
