I can't believe how much

you embarrassed me today.

Oh, so you're embarrassed by

Oh, so you're embarrassed by

the truth and not that haircut?

And there goes our peace

and quiet.

[Chuckles]

Guys, what's the problem now?

Guys, what's the problem now?

The problem is,

today she sat on a table

in the cafeteria and held up

this sign.

This sign.

So what's the problem?

As my sister, she's ruining

my rep.

Remember the time she set

all the earthworms in biology

class free?

We shouldn't experiment

on god's creatures.

I mean, how would you like

I mean, how would you like

somebody splitting you apart

and exploring your organs?

They do that in high school?

Oh, no, baby.

Oh, no, baby.

It's okay.

Calm down.

You're scaring your sister.

What about the time

you dressed up as a cow

you dressed up as a cow

and put on a t-shirt that read,

"would you wear a human?"

[Chuckles]

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

That was so creative.

I thought you looked cute.

Thank you.

A cow with a t-shirt?

A cow with a t-shirt?

She looked ridiculous.

Well, at least I'm standing

up for what I believe in.

I mean, our school recycling

program is a joke.

Program is a joke.

There aren't any recycle bins

for cans and bottles.

There's not nearly enough effort

to make kids aware of how

important it is to use them.

Important it is to use them.

Have you tried talking

to the principal?

Yeah, but she won't make

an appointment with me.

You volunteered to see

the principal?

The principal?

Who does that?

Someone who has the courage

of her convictions.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, I'm proud of you, honey.

Hey, I'm proud of you, honey.

Thank you, dad.

At least my biggest worry isn't

whether or not I have a scuff

Mark on my sneakers.

Mark on my sneakers.

What?

Sad, just sad.

Sad, just sad.

Oh, look at that.

Hmm, my only patient today

Huh, I guess I will be catching

up on case files and doing some

paperwork today.

That must be nice.

Some of us have to sit here

These are the end of times,

You better get right or

Okay.

Guys, you're not gonna

Believe this.

A client of mine is the manager

center.

Oh.

She was able to get us free

No way.

I don't have a client

No, no, no, no.

Ms. Helen,

It takes months to get in there.

Oh, okay.

Well, why don't you two go

I'm fine right here.

Ms. Helen, I don't think

I don't want to go!

Well, fine.

Fine, then you can stay here

fine, then you can stay here

the end of civilization.

As for me, I'm gonna make these

I'm gonna get enlightened

with Gaby.

So you're saying that

So you're saying that

if I go do this thing,

I don't have to be here?

No, you don't.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm gonna call my hairdresser.

And why are you calling

your hairdresser?

Because if I'm getting

I have to get my roots done.

Recycle, one, two, three.

Principal Ellis, come see me.

Recycle, one, two, three.

Principal Ellis, come see me.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Making my demands known.

Your recycling demands?

Please.

Keenan.

Keenan.

I mean, it starts with

one or two bottles.

But we've got over 6 billion

people on this planet.

If we don't recycle,

if we don't recycle,

pretty soon, our landfills

will become choked with garbage;

the trees will wither

in the sunless sky,

sunless because the sky is

blackened with pollution.

Blackened with pollution.

And did you know it takes

a plastic bottle 450 years

to decompose?

But that won't matter,

no, because everyone will be

no, because everyone will be

cinders because our ozone layer

will have long burned off.

Interesting.

Interesting.

Good luck with that.

Kaci, once again, I implore

Kaci, once again, I implore

you to knock this nonsense off

immediately.

You're disrupting

the entire school.

The entire school.

Well, are you ready to talk

about implementing

a comprehensive recycling

program?

Kaci, for me to make that

happen, I would have to go to

the archdiocese.

The archdiocese.

Then there's the paperwork

and all the numbers to crunch.

The point is:

I don't want to do it.

I don't want to do it.

Well, then I guess we have

nothing left to talk about.

Well, actually, there is

one more thing.

One more thing.

Do you mind scooching over

so I can get a soda?

[Change jingling]

[Change jingling]

That's aluminum.

Could you pass the wasabi?

Could you pass the wasabi?

Thank you.

This Sushi is delicious.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

You think they have a frying

pan or or a grill, a match

pan or or a grill, a match

I am not enjoying this raw fish.

Excuse me, do you have any

cornmeal in the back?

Miss Helen, relax, relax.

Miss Helen, it's not even real

fish.

Fish.

It's soy Sushi.

That is ridiculous.

Who would eat fake raw fish?

Who would eat fake raw fish?

Maybe somebody that cares

about their health.

I care about my health.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Enjoy your day.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, did you like

your massage?

Oh, it was fine,

except that masseuse's hands

except that masseuse's hands

are a little strong for a woman.

Well, that's 'cause it was

a man.

What?

With that long hair?

With that long hair?

Miss Helen, men have long

hair too.

Just because somebody has long

just because somebody has long

hair doesn't automatically make

them a woman.

Don't get mad at me.

I didn't want to come here

in the first place.

Inner peace, inner peace.

Inner peace, inner peace.

Okay.

Yeah?

Yes.

Okay.

All right.

Ooh, look at this.

This exercise sounds really

this exercise sounds really

interesting.

"Swing and a prayer."

It says they will tether you

to a rope and letting go

of the rope represents letting

of the rope represents letting

go of what's holding us back

in our lives.

Sounds nice.

I came here for a day off.

That sounds too much like work.

That sounds too much like work.

Okay, Carla, no, no, no.

I have the perfect thing.

The meditative labyrinth,

that one.

Oh, look at that.

It's all sort of like a maze

It's all sort of like a maze

that you walk through,

and you think about

your problem,

and by the time you get to

the center, your problem should

be solved.

Be solved.

Ooh, now that sounds really

interesting.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I have one.

What about we meditate

what about we meditate

with our eyes closed?

And if I snore, it means

I'm in deep thought.

[Chuckles heartily]

All right, let's go.

All right, let's go.

There is nothing to see here.

Put the phones away now.

Excuse me, excuse me,

excuse me.

Miss Ellis, I got here

as soon as I got your call.

As soon as I got your call.

Kaci, what...

Is that lipstick you have on?

You didn't have it on

when you left the house

when you left the house

this morning.

I thought there might be

press.

Dr. Reed, please ask

Dr. Reed, please ask

your daughter to unchain

herself.

Every minute I spend dealing

with this is a minute away

from educating our youth

to the best of my ability.

To the best of my ability.

Dad, I tried to talk to

Ms. Ellis, but she wouldn't

listen to me.

So I had to find another way

to get her attention.

Oh, excuse me for a second.

Oh, excuse me for a second.

Okay, well, now that

Okay, well, now that

miss Ellis is listening.

Why don't you go to her office

and discuss your concerns

with her?

Sure, I can pencil you in

the beginning of next week.

The beginning of next week.

Next week?

Okay, this can't wait a week.

We need a recycling program

today.

Kaci, we have a recycling

Kaci, we have a recycling

program.

There are two garbage bags

in the cafeteria:

One for aluminum,

one for plastic.

One for plastic.

That's not a recycling

program.

That's two trash bags.

Thank you, dad.

I mean, I can't in good

I mean, I can't in good

conscience unchain myself

until I have your word that you

will work with my consortium.

Your consortium?

Me...

And a bunch of kids whose names

I cannot reveal...

I cannot reveal...

For their own safety.

Well--

young lady, unchain yourself

young lady, unchain yourself

this instant, or, Mark my words,

you will be in a lot of trouble.

Miss Ellis, her demands are

quite simple.

Are you gonna beef up

are you gonna beef up

the program or not?

Look, Dr. Reed, between you

and me, we know kids.

And me, we know kids.

Today it's the environment.

Tomorrow it'll be animal

rights.

Um, I'm not sure I understand

your point.

The point is, who cares?

Tomorrow she'll be on to the

next best thing.

I don't know about that.

I think some teenagers are more

I think some teenagers are more

mature than that.

I think you've been teaching

college students far too long.

College students far too long.

You know, you're right.

I should spend more time

in high school.

Kaci, unlock that padlock.

Kaci, unlock that padlock.

[Whispers] Thank you.

[Chains jingling]

[Chains jingling]

[Cheers and applause]

I will hit the gong

three times, and we'll begin

our journey through

the meditational labyrinth.

The meditational labyrinth.

If you become distracted,

just bring yourself gently

back to your center

back to your center

by noticing your thoughts

like clouds in the sky

floating away.

Float away.

Float away.

Float away.

Float away.

Concentrate on your breathing.

Or use a mantra like, "ohm."

Or use a mantra like, "ohm."

All: Ohm.

And you will achieve

a peaceful state of mind.

Ohm.

Now remember,

Now remember,

focus on what's troubling you.

I'm going to manipulate your

energy to keep it all positive.

We will now begin.

We will now begin.

As you continue your journey

through the labyrinth,

solutions will begin to unfold.

Solutions will begin to unfold.

Mm-hmm.

Hello?

Hello?

No, I'm not busy.

[Whispers] Shh!

This is a silent meditation.

Mm.

Mm.

No, I cannot get

my hair done now, Elliott.

I'm in a silent meditation.

I'm in a silent meditation.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

[Chuckling]

Okay, miss Helen,

you are disturbing my peace.

Come on, get off the phone.

Come on, get off the phone.

I'm sorry, sister,

but I'm going to have to ask you

to leave.

The labyrinth?

No, the center.

We can't risk you interrupting

the experience of our other

patrons.

You must go.

But she was the one

on the phone.

On the phone.

I don't want to leave

the labyrinth.

Mr. Monk?

Couldn't she at least finish

the labyrinth?

The labyrinth?

I am sorry.

This is the way that it must be.

Oh.

They will validate

your parking at the front desk.

Oh, well, if you have to

Oh, well, if you have to

leave, I'm going with you.

I'm not leaving till I get

some peace up in here.

Move.

Come on, Carla.

Come on, Carla.

Okay.

Ohm.

Ohm.

Both: Ohm.

Ohm.

Ohm.

Ohm.

[Both exhale]

[Both exhale]

Okay, let's go.

Oh, okay.

Oh, okay.

Let's go, miss Helen.

No, I think I'll stay

a little longer.

This place is so peaceful.

Ohm!

Ohm!

Miss Helen.

Ohm!

Ohm!

Mmmm!

Both: One, two, three, four.

All: Let's love mother earth

All: Let's love mother earth

some more!

Both: Five, six,

seven, eight...

All: Plastic bottles

are not great!

No recycling...

No recycling...

All: No peace!

I can't believe she has you

doing this too, dad.

It's gonna take a lot for me

to get my cool points back.

You only had two.

No recycling...

All: No peace!

All right, all right, enough.

All right, all right, enough.

Dr. Reed, I have called

the authorities.

So if you do not cease and

desist this instant,

desist this instant,

you and your band of rabbling

recyclable rebels will go

to jail.

Well, then I guess today

is as good a day as any to go

to jail for what's right.

[Sighs]

Come on.

Come on.

Okay, you got me.

I haven't called anyone,

but just cut me some slack.

Not until you meet our

demands.

Demands.

Then you leave me no choice.

Kaci Reynolds, you're suspended.

[Students murmuring]

[Students murmuring]

These Graham crackers

These Graham crackers

are delightful.

Hmm, don't you think?

Mm, she loves them.

I love tea parties.

I love tea parties.

Me too.

Tea parties are the best,

especially with you.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

Hey.

So?

How'd the protest go?

It went great.

Kaci got suspended.

What?

What?

She chained herself

to the vending machine

in protest, and they suspended

her for two days.

At least my voice was heard.

At least my voice was heard.

I'm gonna go download

the footage to my Facebook page.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on, hold on.

Alex...

Alex, why were you high-fiving

her when she just got suspended?

Her when she just got suspended?

It was only for two days.

Actually, I think principal

Ellis was taking out her anger

at me on kaci.

But when I saw her chained to

but when I saw her chained to

that vending machine,

standing up for what she

believed in, I knew I had to

chain myself too.

Wh--whoa, you did what?

Wh--whoa, you did what?

Yeah, I joined her.

You know, there's strength

in numbers.

I was great, Carla.

I was great, Carla.

I felt like I was back in

college, protesting Clarence

Thomas' appointment to

the supreme court.

The supreme court.

Yeah, but Clarence Thomas

is now on the supreme court,

and kaci is still suspended.

And kaci is still suspended.

I'm not happy about either

of them, but at least we can

still change one of 'em.

What do you mean?

Alex, this could go on

Alex, this could go on

her record.

I mean, what if she wants to get

into some college and they won't

accept her because of this?

We don't want her

at a college that will reject

at a college that will reject

someone because they stood up

for what they believed in.

[Sighs] Alex, but--

Carla, I could've talked her

into unchaining herself, maybe,

into unchaining herself, maybe,

but what message would that

have sent?

"Stand up for what you believe

in as long as it's in the

in as long as it's in the

comfort of your living room."

Hmm.

No, I had to let her make

that protest.

And I had to stand beside her.

And I had to stand beside her.

You would have too.

You're probably right.

You're probably right.

But suspension...

It just seems so unfair.

Principal Ellis is unfair.

Principal Ellis is unfair.

But...

What if we double-teamed her?

What if we double-teamed her?

What if we played

good cop, bad cop?

Well, it's not a bad idea.

I mean, you've already

established yourself as

the bad cop.

You could be the radical

you could be the radical

protester, and I could be

the understanding mom

who gets the principal

to change her mind.

To change her mind.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Are you free tomorrow,

starsky?

I sure am, hutch.

Let's--let's do it.

Let's--let's do it.

[Chuckles]

Good morning, miss Helen.

How are you?

How are you?

I'm feeling great.

You should be.

You're the only one that got to

stay and enjoy the center.

Stay and enjoy the center.

It's not my fault

you got kicked out.

Uh, actually, miss Helen,

it was.

Hmm, thank you.

Hmm, thank you.

Gaby, you're always blaming

somebody else for your problems.

You know, after you left,

you know, after you left,

the monk taught us

to look within to solve

our problems.

Too bad you couldn't stay.

Too bad you couldn't stay.

[Speaking Spanish]

Okay, okay, okay,

both of you in my office

right now.

Have a great day.

Have a great day.

Come on, miss Helen.

Miss Helen.

Miss Helen.

Yes.

Gaby.

Clearly we have a problem.

Don't look at me.

It's her.

It's her.

Me?

Listen, that was Elliott,

my hairdresser.

Let me tell you something--

No, let me tell you--

Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I am talking, okay?

Miss Helen.

Yes.

Yes.

Gaby went out of her way

to do something nice for both

of us, and all you did

the entire time was complain.

Why?

Why?

I was just saying

what was on my mind.

Well, the only thing that

wasn't on your mind was saying

"thank you."

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, no, no.

No, no.

Don't not roll your eyes,

miss sensitive.

What do you mean?

Well, you're not blameless

in this situation.

In this situation.

I mean, you don't have to react

to every little thing that

miss Helen does.

Oh, but she does a lot.

Gaby.

You are gonna interact

you are gonna interact

with people that you don't

always get along with,

and the difference between

reacting and responding

is respect and acceptance.

Is respect and acceptance.

Thank you.

Please accept me, miss geminez.

Please accept me, miss geminez.

It's jimenez.

"Heh-men-ez."

Heh-men-ez, say it.

Jimenez.

That is right, and you need

to stop antagonizing her.

And you.

You, you need to stop getting

so upset by every little thing

so upset by every little thing

that she does, okay?

All right.

All right.

All right.

Good.

Now, hug it out.

What?

Go ahead, come on, now, hug.

Wow, that feels good.

She is the sew mistress.

Ooh.

to make me hug it out.

I got it.

Principal Ellis.

Hello.

My wife and I would like

to have a word with you.

To have a word with you.

Ah, doctors Reed, I would

love to, but I can't.

I'm off to zumba class.

This will only take a minute.

Just a sec.

Just a sec.

Um...

We feel that kaci's suspension

was a little bit too drastic.

Was a little bit too drastic.

There's nothing I can do

about the suspension.

She clearly violated the rules

by disrupting classes.

Oh, well, we understand

Oh, well, we understand

that there are consequences

for your actions...

But a suspension?

Come on, miss Ellis.

Okay, okay, honey,

Okay, okay, honey,

I've got this.

I'm sorry, miss Ellis, but

my husband gets a little bit

upset when he feel like our

cafeteria tables?

The rules clearly state that

The rules clearly state that

suspension is the appropriate

punishment under these

circumstances.

Haven't you ever stood up

for anything?

For anything?

[Chuckles]

Please, I went to Berkeley.

We protested everything from

police brutality to not having

enough seats

enough seats

in the lecture hall.

We literally had to stand up

for what we believed in.

Well, then, come on, you know

what we're talking about.

What we're talking about.

Yes, but this isn't college.

It's high school.

And my job is to ensure

the proper education of these

the proper education of these

kids without interruption.

Well, isn't this part of

the educational process?

Exactly.

Exactly.

Learning beyond these walls,

forming cogent debates,

the constitutionality of

freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech.

Damn, y'all talk more than

kaci.

Okay, fine.

I will yield to her request.

I will yield to her request.

However, for breaking the rules,

And until we get recycle bins,
