[instrumental music]

Charlie, how many college
recruiters did you invite?

- Uh, 53.
- Yeah?

And here are
the faculty assignments.

Great.

Uh, excuse me, Mr. Moore.

You have to explain
some of these recruiters

you've invited.

- Uh, such as?
- Greenpeace.

Greenpeace.
That's not a college.

The Bowling Green's a college.

Greenpeace is, uh,
whale watching or something.

Uh, i-it's an organization

dedicated to saving the planet.

I-I just thought
that some of the students--

I'm trying to send kids
to college

not out looking for Moby Dick.

And, look, look at this.

Why, you've invited
the armed forces!

Uh, Dr. Samuels

you know, I-I'm not gonna
be able to get this done

unless you stop interrupting.

Okay. I'm a reasonable man.

And I'll drop by during
your first period

and we'll discuss it.

Uh, th-that's
another thing, sir.

Uh..

Okay. Uh, how can
I say this nicely?

Um, I would appreciate it

if you would not come
into my classroom

unannounced anymore.

What do you mean?

Well, y-you just walk in anytime
you feel like it

and, and it's
an in-interruption.

You don't want me
in the classroom?

No, it's not that.
It's just that--

My, my kids.

You don't want me
to see my kids.

Well, it-it's not
a custody battle, Dr. Samuels.

I-I just..

...don't want you
to interrupt my teaching

the lessons to my students.

Of course, I understand.

Don't worry about me, Mr. Moore.

Miss Meara,
I'll be in my office.

And I don't want
to be interrupted.

[instrumental music]

Good morning, everyone.

- Good morning.
- Hi.

What's so good about it?

My-my father wants me to go
to Columbia, where he went.

My mother wants me to go
to Caltech, where she went.

My Aunt Merline wants me
to got to cosmetology school.

Hey, you know,
that's not a bad idea.

You know, beauticians
make a nice living.

Uh, what am I talking about,
Mr. Moore?

I just can't make a decision!

Well, you just decided
not to become a beautician.

That's a start.

But it's, uh,
college recruiting day.

Bunch of people come by.

They tell you why they think

you'd want to go
to their school.

I mean, it's nothing
to get worked up about.

Don't be naive, Mr. Moore.

I mean, we all have good grades,
but good grades aren't enough.

If you make a good impression,
they hear about it.

If you don't, you're on your way
to motel management.

This is our futures
we're talking about here.

Well, I think college is..

...a long way off.

M-Mr. Moore, on Friday,
we have to be poised, confident

articulate, well-groomed.

What are you lookin' at?

Okay, so I'm not Ralph Lauren.

You're not even Ralph Kramden.

What you're all feeling
is normal.

Interviews make us all nervous.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

Okay, so they make
some of us nervous.

Okay, Alan, uh, what gives you
the nerves of steel?

You've already chosen
your college?

[scoffs]
You don't choose Harvard.

Harvard chooses you.

And Alan Pinkard is
one of the chosen people?

No, it's a mere formality.

I've already selected
my major and bought my books.

I've also picked out
my dorm room.

Southeast corner of the Quad

third floor, overlookin'
the business school.

They showed me that room.
I didn't like it.

You're going to Harvard, too?

Colleges have been calling me
for years.

She's holding out for a
sorority house with monkey bars.

(Charlie)
'Darlene?'

Well, the Bryn Mawr recruit

is a business associate
of my father's.

I'm taking her to lunch
at the Four Seasons.

Oh, Darlene, that is the worst.

Not since Andre took over
the kitchen.

Why is everybody making
such a big deal about this?

[scoffs]
Maria?

You're not nervous?

Look, you go to some college,
you get out.

You go to some grad school,
you get out.

You become a psychologist,
you have kids, they hate you

you retire and you die.

Why is your life
flashing before my eyes?

It's, you know,
I-I-I think

you're all gonna be okay.

Huh, I feel faint.

Except Arvid.

Eric?

Oh, we're going
to Sarah Lawrence.

Simone, I said I would consider
going there, that's all.

W-what are you trying
to tell me, Eric?

That I would consider it, okay?

I know you.
You're backing out.

Backing out?
But I haven't even backed in.

Look, I'm sorry
I brought it up, okay?

'Alright, when Linda Johnson
assumed the presidency'

'we had already established'

a policy of intervention
in Vietnam.

Excuse me, Mr. Moore.

Gang, remember,
college recruiting day

is Friday, first period.

Yeah, they know that.

Those of you
who will be attending

will be excused from classes.

They know that.

Just keep in mind
that what you say

what you wear and what decisions
you make Friday

will follow you to your graves.

[indistinct chatter]

Look, uh, excuse me.
M-may we?

Do you remember our chat
this morning?

Oh, yes, I do, Mr. Moore.

And at first, I was crushed.

But I said to myself

"I'm the principal.

"This is my school.

These are my kids."

So in the future, will you
please not interrupt my--

- Interruptions?
- Precisely.

Carry on, team.

[instrumental music]

Girls, I've made a decision.

I am definitely
going to Caltech.

- Great, Arvid.
- Great, Arvid.

Or Princeton.

No, no, no, no.
Definitely Caltech.

Or Princeton.

I mean, uh, Stanford High.

No, no, no, no,
definitely Columbia.

Oh, ah..

Arvid, who cares?

Guys, listen to this.

"Students and faculty
gather at Dean's residence

for conversation and tea."

Look at these suits.
Who are they kidding?

Nobody in MIT dresses like this.

Yeah. Just the kids
in the brochure.

- The one's that got accepted.
- 'Ha-ha-ha!'

Come on, Darlene.
Okay, okay. Here, here.

Look, there's somebody
who dresses just like me.

Read the caption.

"MIT students in Harvard
production of Tobacco Road."

[chuckles]

Oh.

Arvid, you gotta
help me dress better.

I need help picking out clothes.

Matching colors, you know?
Putting together an outfit.

Alan? I got to make a good
impression on the MIT recruiter.

What do I wear?

How about a car cover
with cuffs?

[laughs]

- I need advice, not abuse.
- Uh, I'm sorry.

You really want my help?

Yeah, I need.. No.

What am I gonna be able
to do in four days, anyway?

You? Nothing.

But in the hands of Alan
Pinkard, Pygmalion revisited.

- I accept the challenge.
- Yeah?

It'll-it'll be like
clearing a slum.

Like, like turning
a-a garbage fill

into a cricket pitch.
Like, like--

I just want some help
pickin' out a shirt.

You just don't pick out a shirt.
You make a statement.

Look, we'll go to my tailor

we'll tell him
it's an emergency.

And remember,
no plaids, no prints

and for the love of God, man,
no horizontal stripes.

What's that scent
you're wearing?

Hm?

[sniffs]
Oh, it's bean dip.

Dennis, we're talking MIT,
not bozo you.

Okay, I'm sorry.
It's not that easy being dull.

- How do you do it?
- Oh, no.

- Alan, I'm sorry.
- Forget it, forget it.

Oh, come on, please.

Eric, I thought
we were, you know

kinda serious
about each other.

We are. I'm serious.

Well, then, why do you want
to get away from me?

Well, help me out here.
When did I say that?

Well, you don't want
to go to Sarah Lawrence

that's where I'm gonna be.

Ergo, you don't wanna
be with me.

Oh, hold the ergo right there.

Why do I have to be
where you wanna be?

Why can't you be
where I wanna be?

- Where do you wanna be?
- I don't know.

Ergo, what are we talking about?

Sarah Lawrence.

It's so beautiful.

Once you see
the leaves changing color

or walk across the lawn..

Do you understand? A lawn.

Yes, I understand a lawn.

A wide expanse of grass covering
field mice and other rodents.

Eric, think about it.

Professors in tweed jackets
with pipes, canoeing.

It's always been my dream.

Simone, if you wanna go canoeing
with a bunch of old guys

with pipes, be my guest.

What does that have
to do with me?

You know, it's becoming
pretty obvious.

You just wanna get away from me.

Look, you want me to talk to
the Sarah Lawrence recruiter

I will talk to him, okay?

You happy now?

Geez.

Don't slouch.

[instrumental music]

[bell ringing]

Okay, if I could have
your attention, please?

[knocking on door]

Pay no attention.

Uh, I was saying

since recruiting is during
first period today and--

(Darlene)
'Uh, Mr. Moore?'

Yeah, I know,
just, uh, ignore him

politely, of course.

Uh, anyway, as I was saying

since recruiting
is during first period..

That didn't happen.

Um, obviously there'll be
no history class.

So, those of you who are not
going, it's a free period.

And if you are going, once
you've finished your interviews

please return here.

Then you can use the time
as you see fit, okay?

[knock on door]

- Mr. Moore, Ms. Meara.
- Yeah?

I suppose we can let her in.

[chuckles]

- Um..
- I'm glad you noticed us.

Your doors were jammed.

No, actually,
they were both locked.

- Locked?
- 'Yeah.'

Um, Charlie, the recruiters are
ready for you all now.

That's what I was trying
to tell you.

Good news.
Let's go, gang.

Wait a minute.
Where's Dennis Blunden?

If he's out filling up
those water balloons..

- 'So help me out..'
- 'Oh, my goodness.'

Oh!

It took me four straight days
but I turned him into a yuppie.

Another day and I'd have
had him voting Republican.

[both laugh]

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
you care to join us in the gym?

Bye. Good luck.

Uh, come on, Janice.

I think the adults
would like to talk.

I am just as adult
and mature as anyone else.

- I'll play Jacks with you.
- Okay.

[sighs]
I changed my mind.

I don't wanna talk
to this recruiter.

You said you'd keep
an open mind about it.

[sighs]
What's the point?
I'm not gonna go.

Ergo, why talk?

Everything you say puts more
and more distance between us.

What's going on here?

I mean, you-you keep trying
to tell me what to do.

We're not even married yet.

Not, not that I meant that
as a proposal or anything.

Well, just what do you mean?

[sighs]
Look, if you want to wear tweed

and smoke a pipe
at Sarah Lawrence, fine.

And if I want to stay
a non-smoker

and wear black leather,
that's what I'm gonna do.

And if that means to you
then I don't wanna be with you

then okay, you win!

Okay. Fine.

Have a nice life.

[instrumental music]

Okay. It's not a deli, you know?

You don't have to take a number.

[Arvid sighs]

I feel it, Mr. Moore.

I'm on the verge of a decision.

- Good.
- I-I--

I mean, I-I'm, I'm almost
on the verge of a decision.

I-I-I'm on the verge
of being on the verge of..

Okay.

- What's wrong?
- I don't know, Mr. Moore.

I've completely lost
my self-confidence

and I, I just don't feel..

I don't feel like me.

Well, you certainly, uh,
look presentable.

Yeah.

That's it.

If there's one thing
Dennis Blunden is not

and never will be

it's presentable.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Moore.

Uh, incidentally,
your tie is on straight.

Oh. Thanks.

Excuse me. I'm looking
for the Harvard recruiter.

- Oh, yes.
- Is he here?

O-or maybe I'm early.
That's not good, is it?

You're right on time.

Oh, good, 'cause I-I wanna make
a good impression on him.

Uh-uh, you work with him,
what's he like?

Actually, um,
I don't work with him.

Oh.

I understand.

I should have known that
a classy gal like you

would be dating a Harvard man.

Absolutely.

Unless, of course,
that Harvard man

happens to be a classy...gal.

Have a seat, Mr. Pinkard.

Uh, Pinkard? No. M-my name
is Blunden, Dennis Blunden.

Oh.

Hi.

Uh, hi.

How did it go at Sarah Lawrence?

Great. They love me.

You don't seem too thrilled.

Well, now that I know that

Eric just wants me to go away
to college.. How would you feel?

Well, how do you know that
that's what he really wants?

Well, I don't.
He's not talking.

- Maybe, you could--
- Mm.

Let's say that you and Eric

do stay together
and you get married

and you have kids and you have
these little problems.

How're you gonna solve these
problems when I'm not around?

You're right.

I guess I should just
forget about him.

[laughing]

She says, "Lotion. Lotion."

[both laughing]

- Isn't that a beautiful buzzer?
- Oh, you like the buzzer?

You gotta see what
I got in my locker.

It's this plastic vomit.
It's great, I tell you.

Wait till you see
what I'm working on.

I'm testing
the effects of zero gravity

on Whoopee Cushions.

Yeah?

Mr. Moore, you got a minute?

- Uh, actually, I don't, Eric.
- Okay, give me half a minute.

I just need your advice
on something.

Well, I'll tell you, the answer
to all your problems..

Talk to her.

I gotta hand it to you,
Mr. Moore.

At first, I hated your idea

of inviting the armed services
to this thing.

But the kids,
uh, like it a lot.

I've made a decision.

- Great.
- Congratulations.

I think I just joined
the marines.

[groans]

- You what, Arvid?
- 'No, no, no.'

The marines have
a very fine program.

I'll get a good education in, uh

field artillery maintenance.

I-I'll get to see the world

and I'm gonna get something
I've always dreamed of.

Biceps.

- Go ahead, Mr. Moore.
- Go ahead and what?

Well, you are gonna talk him
out of it, aren't you?

- Yeah.
- No, I'm not.

- You-you're not?
- No.

I've never been against people
doing things for their country.

Besides, I admire
anybody who wants to

hike 20 miles
with a fully loaded backpack.

Sleep in
mosquito-infested swamps.

Eat year-old meat
out of a can.

You have a lot
to look forward to.

Year-old meat?

What a disaster!

I completely made
a fool out of myself.

- I totally blew it.
- No, you didn't. He loved you.

He said you'll make
a great doctor

and you got him to stop smoking.

- Really? Great.
- Yes.

- Um, how'd you do?
- Awful.

You ever tried to talk to
someone who just quit smoking?

(Sarah)
What happened?

Well, it looks like
I can kiss Harvard goodbye.

H-Harvard man.. A woman..

I mean, I-I thought
he would be..

Well, she..

Well, this is
as articulate as I got.

Well, looks like
the Cold War is back on.

War? War!
No, I don't wanna go!

I'm sorry..

Arvid, it's okay.

I-I-I did talk to that

recruiting officer
from the marines.

And he said
that all you agreed to was

possibly a second meeting

so you can change your mind.

Oh. Thanks, Mr. Moore.

Alan, I..

Let's say that you did
blow it with Harvard, okay?

Is your life over?

Actually, not.

Thinking about blowing it

is a lot worse
than actually doing it.

Well, anyway, I think Princeton
has a better wine cellar.

Well, you did learn
something today.

I learned something today.

If you're not gonna be yourself

at least make sure
that you're not Alan.

Okay, well, uh..

Eric, Simone,
did you two, uh

get anything out of this?

No.

Not really.

Except for I'm never
talking to him again.

You're never talking
to him again, again?

Uh, Simone. Eric.

Outside.

- Again?
- Again.

Now, where were we?

I guess he wants us
to settle this ourselves, huh?

- So?
- So?

Listen, Simone, I never said
that I wanna get away from you.

I just think that
this is a decision

that I got to make
with a clear head.

And I can't do
what's wrong for me

just to make things
nice for you.

No matter how much I like you.

No, Eric, it's my fault.
I should apologize.

I realize I've been pushing you

to enroll in
the same school as I do

and that's selfish.

I just can't imagine
not seeing you every day.

Listen, Simone,
if I'm gonna be a writer

a real New York writer

then I gotta have the streets,
you know?

I gotta have the energy
of the city.

I want to go to a college
that anybody can afford.

Where there's all types
of people.

A-and you can be a part
of what's happening.

I want to go to City College.

I mean, if it was good enough

for Paddy Chayefsky
and Bernard Malamud

and Upton Sinclair, I'm sure
it's okay for a jerk like me.

Even though it
may not have canoeing.

On the other hand, if you keep
looking at me like that..

...I'm just gonna say,
"To hell with it"

and go to Sarah Lawrence.

No.

You'd hate it.

You need the inspiration
of a greasy, noisy city.

- Don't you?
- Yeah.

And you need to be around
old paneling

and old musty
out-of-print books.

I mean, that's your dream.

So go for it.

So, what about us?

Simone, college is
a long, long way off.

You really think we ought to
start worrying about that now?

Well...yeah.

[sighs]

Look, I-I don't see
what the big deal is.

I mean, Sarah Lawrence is only

38 minutes
from here by train.

How do you know that?

I timed it.

- You did?
- Yeah.

Come on, you think I'm gonna
let you go away someplace

where I can't
see you anytime I want?

Good thinking.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

So, I talked to Duke University

and UCLA and Stanford

and I think, well, I think
I've made my decision.

Oh, which one did you choose?

None of 'em.

I'm not going to college.

My mom is the one who wanted me
to be a psychologist.

I want to be a singer.

Come on, Maria,
do you really think

you can make it as a singer?

Well, let's give her a chance.

Yeah, I mean, you,
uh, you try something

maybe it doesn't work out,
so then you try something else.

So you mean, it doesn't matter
what career choice we make?

Well, no, it's important
that you make a choice

but it's not irrevocable.

Look at me.
I mean, I, I came to New York.

I started out as an actor
and now I'm a teacher.

[chuckles]
Who knows?

Paul Gauguin started out
to be a banker

and became one of the world's
greatest painters.

On the other hand, Hitler
started out to be a painter--

Thank you, Janice. Thank you.
