00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,942
I can't believe how
Crowded that store was.

00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:12,277
I think everybody left
Their shopping till tonight.
3
00:00:12,346 --> 00:00:14,679
I don't believe it, those
Women, they're crazy.
4
00:00:14,748 --> 00:00:16,848
- I know.
- pushing, shoving.

Bumping into me.

Kotter, I'd like you
To meet ms. Wright.
27
00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:39,431
Ms. Wright!
28
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,235
Well, my mother always
Said I'd meet you some day.
29
00:01:43,303 --> 00:01:44,369
Thank you.
30
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:45,982
This ms. Wright
Has nothing to do
31
00:01:46,006 --> 00:01:49,240
With your sick
Fantasies, kotter.
32
00:01:49,309 --> 00:01:51,843
Leave my sick fantasies
Out of this, mr. Woodman,
33
00:01:51,912 --> 00:01:55,847
At least until you get me
That ostrich I requested.
34
00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:58,784
Ms. Wright is a phi beta kappa
Graduate of jones college
35
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:01,086
Specially trained
In remedial methods.
36
00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:03,521
Principal lazarus wants her
To have on-the-job training
37
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:05,430
Until she gets her own class.
38
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:07,069
Oh, like, uh, student teach.
39
00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:08,971
Well, in my school,
We're referred to
40
00:02:08,995 --> 00:02:11,330
As educational
Guidance associates.
41
00:02:11,398 --> 00:02:14,732
In this school, you'll be
Referred to as hamburger helper.
42
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:22,841
Uh, make yourself
At home, look around.
43
00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:24,487
Now, watch her
Carefully, kotter.
44
00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:26,671
Remember what happened
To the last student teacher.
45
00:02:26,714 --> 00:02:28,780
What happened to her?
46
00:02:28,849 --> 00:02:30,615
Oh, she's doing fine.
47
00:02:33,253 --> 00:02:36,888
She, uh, sent me a ceramic
Wallet from the home.
48
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:42,093
So, you majored in ghetto, huh?
49
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:45,330
Yes, and this is
Wonderful, it's so remedial.
50
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:46,876
It's just like our mock-up room
51
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,800
In educational
Development and guidance.
52
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:52,103
Right, right, slum
Training 101, I took it twice.
53
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:53,316
Let me show you around.
54
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,251
You know, this is a
Very famous classroom.
55
00:02:55,275 --> 00:02:57,976
In fact, in this chair right
Here once sat bonzo...
56
00:02:58,044 --> 00:02:59,344
Moretti.
57
00:02:59,413 --> 00:03:01,079
Yes, I've heard of him.
58
00:03:01,148 --> 00:03:02,559
- you have?
- mm-hm.
59
00:03:02,583 --> 00:03:04,894
There's a whole chapter about
Him in one of our textbooks.
60
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:07,452
It's called, "There
Are no bad boys,
61
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:11,222
So please don't shoot."
62
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:13,558
You know, bonzo wasn't
The toughest kid in my class.
63
00:03:13,626 --> 00:03:16,094
Toughest kid was
Benito bloomberg.
64
00:03:16,163 --> 00:03:20,799
Benito was voted most
Likely to invade poland.
65
00:03:20,868 --> 00:03:22,801
Sat right over there,
Right in between
66
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:26,371
Ramon "I can eat more
Hamburgers than you" benson
67
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,206
And phyllis "I'm
Saving everything
68
00:03:28,275 --> 00:03:31,710
For my second
Marriage" feinstein.
69
00:03:31,779 --> 00:03:33,778
It's a very famous
Classroom here, ms. Wright.
70
00:03:33,847 --> 00:03:35,524
Some of the best
Teachers in this city
71
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:37,482
Have passed through
These windows.
72
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:40,219
Oh, I love it.
73
00:03:40,253 --> 00:03:42,220
Student's never change, do they?
74
00:03:42,289 --> 00:03:46,758
"Arnold is easy."
75
00:03:46,827 --> 00:03:48,961
"Call vinnie, he delivers."
76
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:56,434
"Juan epstein..." does what?
77
00:03:56,503 --> 00:03:58,303
To whom?
78
00:03:58,372 --> 00:04:00,672
Uh, ms. Wright, don't
Pay any attention to that.
79
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:04,009
They like to brag.
80
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:05,877
What is that? Emergency
Phone numbers?
81
00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:08,013
Oh, no, I guess you
Could call it my bible.
82
00:04:08,082 --> 00:04:12,451
Well, it might work on
Vampires, but not sweathogs.
83
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:14,786
This is the jones
College guidebook
84
00:04:14,855 --> 00:04:16,955
For remedial specialists.
85
00:04:17,023 --> 00:04:19,524
I rely on it for everything.
86
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:21,959
I should warn you,
One teacher to another,
87
00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:24,696
That these kids are
Not out of any books.
88
00:04:24,765 --> 00:04:27,866
This is like working
In an amusement park.
89
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,979
It's like going through
A lion country safari
90
00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:31,903
Wearing a meatloaf suit.
91
00:04:35,976 --> 00:04:38,743
Well, it's time to enter
The magic kingdom.
92
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:40,211
I don't understand.
93
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,413
You will, just follow me.
94
00:04:42,483 --> 00:04:43,860
Here they are, held over
95
00:04:43,884 --> 00:04:46,117
For the second
Straight semester.
96
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:47,452

00:05:03,036 --> 00:05:05,136
Everybody say hello to
Your new student teacher,
102
00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:06,205
Ms. Wright.
103
00:05:06,239 --> 00:05:09,074
You are gonna teach?
104
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:11,876
Here?
105
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:14,245
Us?
106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,255
I'm so sorry.
107
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,624
Look, they brought us a rookie.
108
00:05:26,694 --> 00:05:28,271
Yeah, I give her
Two weeks with us,
109
00:05:28,295 --> 00:05:30,406
And she's gonna shave her
Head and be selling incense
110
00:05:30,430 --> 00:05:33,598
On the corner of 42nd street.
111
00:05:33,666 --> 00:05:34,999
All right, all right.
112
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:37,536
Look, ms. Wright is gonna be
Spending a couple days with us.
113
00:05:37,604 --> 00:05:39,404
I want you to show
Her some respect.
114
00:05:39,473 --> 00:05:44,676
Hey, man... Hello? Hello?
115
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:47,912
Just show her the same
Respect you show me, okay?
116
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:53,518
Hello? Hello?
117
00:05:53,586 --> 00:05:55,320
Show her the same
Respect you show me
118
00:05:55,389 --> 00:05:57,688
When I threaten to keep
Everybody after school
119
00:05:57,757 --> 00:05:59,891

Well, these are your
Basic sweathogs.
124
00:06:14,408 --> 00:06:15,885
Now I think it's time
We started class.
125
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:17,629
Why don't you have a seat.
126
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:22,413
Okay, now I have just
Completed grading your essays
127
00:06:22,482 --> 00:06:25,650
On "If I were president
Of the united states,"
128
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:29,921
And I found them...
So very interesting
129
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:32,057
That I think some of
Them have to be shared
130
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:33,402
With the rest of the class.
131
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:35,426
Aw, come on.
132
00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:37,407
All right, I would like
To start out with this one.
133
00:06:37,431 --> 00:06:39,597
It has a real snappy title.
134
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:43,568
"If I were the dc main man."
135
00:06:43,636 --> 00:06:46,804
It's by mr. F. B.B. Washington.
136
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:54,512
The b.B. Stands for "Boom boom."
137
00:06:56,984 --> 00:06:58,561
Since you're so proud of this,
138
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,129
Why don't you read
It for everybody.
139
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:01,486
All right.
140
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:08,326
Hi, there.
141
00:07:12,298 --> 00:07:16,067
If I was the prez,
There would be equality
142
00:07:16,135 --> 00:07:18,202
For everyone, I say.
143
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:19,711
- why?
- why?
144
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,407
You want to know why?
145
00:07:22,476 --> 00:07:26,944
Because I believe... In change.
146
00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:29,814
I think we should change
Our national anthem,
147
00:07:29,883 --> 00:07:33,084
Or at least get a
Better drummer!
148
00:07:33,153 --> 00:07:34,630
I ask you, did you,
149
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:38,223
Did you ever try to dance
To the star-spangled banner?
150
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:39,757
Yes, brothers and sisters.
151
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:41,626
I believe in change.
152
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:44,696
You got any ideas for
Change, you send them to me.
153
00:07:44,764 --> 00:07:47,765
You ain't got no change,
Just send a fold in money.
154
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:49,834
I want your thoughts,
I want your ideas,
155
00:07:49,903 --> 00:07:52,236
But mostly, I want your money!
156
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,238
All major credit cards accepted.
157
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:55,941
Hallelujah, baby!
158
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:07,319
Thank you, reverend ike.
159
00:08:07,387 --> 00:08:08,798
Next, we have a young man
160
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:11,889
Whom we've all come to
Expect big things from.
161
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:14,593
So far, we are still expecting,
162
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:16,060
But any day now.
163
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:17,529
Mr. Arnold horshack.
164
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:19,063
All right, arnold!
165
00:08:21,902 --> 00:08:23,234
Thank you, thank you.
166
00:08:23,303 --> 00:08:25,670
No, really, thank you.
167
00:08:25,738 --> 00:08:27,538
Thank you.
168
00:08:29,809 --> 00:08:32,978
Ahem.
169
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:38,049
"If I was president of
These united states,"
170
00:08:38,118 --> 00:08:41,052
By arnold horshack.
171
00:08:41,121 --> 00:08:46,391
If I was president of
These united states,
172
00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:51,162
I would do away with the
Office of vice president.
173
00:08:51,231 --> 00:08:54,766
Why do I need an understudy?
174
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:57,501
I would appoint vinnie barbarino
175
00:08:57,571 --> 00:09:00,138
As my minister of affairs.
176
00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:08,679
Juan epstein... Hi, juan!
177
00:09:08,749 --> 00:09:13,117
He would be my
Secretary of hurting.
178
00:09:13,186 --> 00:09:16,954
And mr. Kotter will head
The department of health,
179
00:09:17,023 --> 00:09:22,593
Education, and groucho.
180
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:24,140
Thank you, arnold,
How this elephant
181
00:09:24,164 --> 00:09:26,998
Got in my pajamas,
I'll never know.
182
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:29,634
Oh, mr. Kotter!
183
00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:35,117
Ms. Wright, would you like
To take the wheel for a while?
184
00:09:35,141 --> 00:09:36,507
Go ahead.
185
00:09:41,647 --> 00:09:45,549
Hello, boys and girls.
186
00:09:45,618 --> 00:09:53,618
I'm... Ms... Wri-I-ight.
187
00:09:54,361 --> 00:09:59,030
Hello again, ms. Wri-I-ight.
188
00:10:03,403 --> 00:10:07,138
Now, the first thing
To do would be to...
189
00:10:07,207 --> 00:10:08,974
Check your seating.
190
00:10:09,042 --> 00:10:11,142
What for?
191
00:10:11,211 --> 00:10:13,344
To make sure
You're alphabetical.
192
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:19,283
Well, I ain't. I'm italian.
193
00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:24,155
No, I mean... ♪ a, b, c, d ♪
194
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:27,858
♪ g, e, f ♪
195
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:32,163
I heard that, it's a good tune.
196
00:10:32,231 --> 00:10:33,998
Well, are you?
197
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:35,967
What?
198
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:39,070
Sitting in the order
Of the alphabet?
199
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:41,839
Where?
200
00:10:41,908 --> 00:10:44,041
In this class.
201
00:10:44,111 --> 00:10:47,378
Hey, allow me to rectify
Myself, ms. Wright.
202
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:48,880
We are alphabetical.
203
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:50,115
What's your name?
204
00:10:50,183 --> 00:10:51,382
Juan epstein.
205
00:10:51,451 --> 00:10:52,451
Does what to who?
206
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:54,151
Don't touch me!
207
00:11:02,562 --> 00:11:04,462
I'm sorry, I forgot myself.
208
00:11:04,531 --> 00:11:07,665
Um, well, mr. Epstein,
209
00:11:07,734 --> 00:11:09,634
Alphabetically,
Shouldn't the a's
210
00:11:09,703 --> 00:11:11,113
Be sitting where you are?
211
00:11:11,137 --> 00:11:12,857
Well, yeah, that's
Absolutely correct.
212
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:14,984
You see, 'cause like every
Time I come into the room,
213
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:17,509
Everybody goes, "'ey, epstein!"
214
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:20,545
♪ 'ey, epstein, epstein ♪
215
00:11:20,614 --> 00:11:22,780
♪ epstein, rah, rah ♪
216
00:11:22,849 --> 00:11:24,181
Yeah, baby.
217
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:26,851
Oh, oh!
218
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,487
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
219
00:11:29,555 --> 00:11:31,556
Oh, oh!
220
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:34,759
And I should be sitting
Where the o's sit,
221
00:11:34,828 --> 00:11:37,094
Because at least
Once in every class,
222
00:11:37,163 --> 00:11:39,964
I go, "Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
223
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:42,900
You do that every
Minute of the day.
224
00:11:42,969 --> 00:11:44,669
Uh, children now, quiet.
225
00:11:44,737 --> 00:11:49,074
Children, uh... Quiet!
226
00:11:49,142 --> 00:11:55,613
Uhh... Now...
227
00:11:55,682 --> 00:11:57,915
Another way for us to
Get to know each other
228
00:11:57,984 --> 00:12:00,485
Is, uh, for each of you to, uh,
229
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:04,089
Stand and tell me a little bit
About your ethnic background.
230
00:12:04,157 --> 00:12:09,794
That will also give me a chance
To check your racial balance.
231
00:12:09,863 --> 00:12:11,974
Well, we either come out
With half a puerto rican
232
00:12:11,998 --> 00:12:15,466
Or half a jew left over.
233
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:19,336
My family, we couldn't
Afford our own background.
234
00:12:25,779 --> 00:12:30,247
We shared ours with a
Chinese family downstairs.
235
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:34,318
You ever try moo goo gai grits?
236
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:40,925
My grandparents,
They came from sicily
237
00:12:40,993 --> 00:12:43,728
In a bottom of a boat
Filled with olive oil.
238
00:12:43,797 --> 00:12:49,734
The minute it docked,
They slid into brooklyn.
239
00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:54,138
Ms. Wright, I traced
My family tree...
240
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:04,281
And I found out that
Three of my uncles
241
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:09,086
All died of dutch elm disease.
242
00:13:09,155 --> 00:13:12,957
Yeah, and you're a little sap.
243
00:13:13,026 --> 00:13:15,559
Well, your family
Swings in trees, juan.
244
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:17,295
- oh, yeah?
- yeah.
245
00:13:19,866 --> 00:13:22,933
Oh, to maintain
Order... All right, guys!
246
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:24,235
Guys!
247
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:28,138
To maintain order... Cool it.
248
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:30,841
I can handle it, mr. Kotter.
249
00:13:30,910 --> 00:13:31,975
Are you sure?
250
00:13:32,044 --> 00:13:34,545
Mm-hm!
251
00:13:34,614 --> 00:13:37,681
Mmm.
252
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:40,784
Everybody sit down.
253
00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:45,601
All right, then, I think
We should just continue
254
00:13:45,625 --> 00:13:47,436
With what mr. Kotter was
Doing, reading essays on
255
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:49,271
"If I were president
Of the united states."
256
00:13:49,295 --> 00:13:51,729
I have one here by mr. Epstein.
257
00:13:51,797 --> 00:13:54,064
Uh, beggin' your pardon,
Ma'am, but, uh, you see,
258
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:55,811
I wrote a poem
There, not an essay,
259
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,580
And I'd rather not read it.
260
00:13:57,604 --> 00:13:59,903
Oh, but you must take
Pride in your work.
261
00:13:59,973 --> 00:14:02,206
Use of names and
Forces identity.
262
00:14:02,275 --> 00:14:05,343
Come on, mr. Kotter, do I gotta?
263
00:14:05,412 --> 00:14:07,078
Ms. Wright is the teacher.
264
00:14:09,815 --> 00:14:11,015
Oh, wait a second now.
265
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:13,617
I hear a note
Coming in from home.
266
00:14:16,456 --> 00:14:23,027
Dear mr. Kotter or to
Whom it may concern,
267
00:14:23,096 --> 00:14:27,098
Juan cannot read his essay.
268
00:14:27,167 --> 00:14:35,167
He's had a sudden
Attack of... Laryngitis?
269
00:14:37,510 --> 00:14:42,313
Signed, epstein's mother.
270
00:14:48,187 --> 00:14:51,688
Student refuses to read essay,
Student refuses to read essay.
271
00:14:51,757 --> 00:14:53,190
Read essay for him.
272
00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:55,526
Very well, I shall have
To read this for you.
273
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:57,240
"If I were president,"
By mr. Epstein.
274
00:14:57,264 --> 00:14:58,841
"If I were president
For just one day,
275
00:14:58,865 --> 00:15:01,899
I'd take everyone's worries
And just throw them all away."
276
00:15:01,968 --> 00:15:02,968
Oh, how nice.
277
00:15:03,036 --> 00:15:06,403
Oh, how nice! Oh, how nice!
278
00:15:06,472 --> 00:15:09,373
"I'd pull all the weeds
And plant some flowers
279
00:15:09,442 --> 00:15:10,575
Where they'd been,
280
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:12,443
'cause a flower's like a person,
281
00:15:12,479 --> 00:15:14,311
It always blooms in the end."
282
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:20,118
Hey, I-I asked you not
To read it, I really did.
283
00:15:20,186 --> 00:15:21,853
That's for mr. Kotter to read.
284
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:23,165
What... What are
You trying to do?
285
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:25,109
You come in here, you're
Trying to change things,
286
00:15:25,158 --> 00:15:26,269
You put us in alphabetical...
287
00:15:26,293 --> 00:15:28,104
Yeah, you put us in
Alphabetical order,
288
00:15:28,128 --> 00:15:30,828
And then you ask us about
Our ethnic background.
289
00:15:30,897 --> 00:15:32,630
What's your ethnic background?
290
00:15:32,699 --> 00:15:36,400
Uh, white bread...
No, that's cafeteria.
291
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:37,746
Come on, hey,
It ain't in a book.
292
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:39,014
Come on, it ain't in the book.
293
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:41,083
Look at me, I'm the
One that's talkin' to ya,
294
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:43,040
And I asked ya,
And I asked ya nice
295
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:44,241
Not to read it.
296
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:45,310
All right, juan.
297
00:15:45,344 --> 00:15:46,944
Come on, just take it easy.
298
00:15:48,348 --> 00:15:51,549
It's not supposed
To be like this.
299
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:57,521
Well, congratulations
On setting a new record.
300
00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:00,658
You just destroyed a
Career in under ten minutes.
301
00:16:00,726 --> 00:16:04,261
♪
302
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:11,735
Buchanan high!
303
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:13,070
Kotter.
304
00:16:13,139 --> 00:16:14,638
Looks like a lot of mail.
305
00:16:14,707 --> 00:16:16,540
Have you got a chain letter?
306
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:18,175
Yes.
307
00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:22,713
Oh, ms. Wright, listen.
308
00:16:22,782 --> 00:16:24,915
I want to apologize for
What happened this morning.
309
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:26,795
No, mr. Kotter,
It's not their fault,
310
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:27,718
It was mine.
311
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:29,331
I'm a failure as a teacher.
312
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:30,888
I ran, mr. Kotter.
313
00:16:30,956 --> 00:16:32,956
I never should have
Majored in ghetto.
314
00:16:33,025 --> 00:16:35,826
I should have majored in suburb.
315
00:16:35,895 --> 00:16:38,462
Kotter, look, we've
Got to help her.
316
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:40,731
We need her kind of training,
And I have a gut feeling
317
00:16:40,767 --> 00:16:44,068
That there's a heck of a
Teacher in there somewhere.
318
00:16:44,137 --> 00:16:46,237
Plus if principal lazarus
Finds out she's quit,
319
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:49,173
It's my donkey.
320
00:16:49,242 --> 00:16:51,742
Your donkey?
321
00:16:56,049 --> 00:16:59,349
It's a good one,
Mr. Woodman, really good.
322
00:16:59,418 --> 00:17:00,651
Ms. Wright, look.
323
00:17:00,719 --> 00:17:02,686
I understand how you feel,
324
00:17:02,755 --> 00:17:05,522
But you can't let one little
Incident cause you to quit.
325
00:17:05,591 --> 00:17:08,960
I'm sorry, mr. Kotter. I'm
Just not prepared for them.
326
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,961
Ah, they're nothing.
327
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:13,498
Your generation has it easy.
328
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:15,799
What was it like in
Your day, mr. Woodman?
329
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,346
Well, let me put it this way.
330
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:22,206
♪ nobody knows the
Trouble I've seen ♪
331
00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:26,677
♪ nobody knows the sorrow ♪
332
00:17:34,687 --> 00:17:36,431
I don't know whether
You've heard about it,
333
00:17:36,455 --> 00:17:39,424
Mr. Woodman, but
Vaudeville's dead.
334
00:17:39,492 --> 00:17:41,236
Believe me, kotter, those
Were the tough years,
335
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:43,227
Back when they had inkwells.
336
00:17:43,295 --> 00:17:46,263
You ever drink a
Thermos bottle of ink?
337
00:17:46,332 --> 00:17:49,667
I coughed rorschach
Test for a whole week!
338
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:52,369
Didn't they have
Spankings in those days?
339
00:17:52,438 --> 00:17:57,575
Yes, but my students
Only spanked me once.
340
00:17:57,643 --> 00:18:00,745
Ms. Wright, look, let me
Try and help you, okay?
341
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:02,680
Let's pretend
That this is a class.
342
00:18:02,749 --> 00:18:04,627
Now, what you gotta
Do is you gotta capture
343
00:18:04,651 --> 00:18:06,328
Their attention, you
Know, their imagination.
344
00:18:06,352 --> 00:18:08,586
Now, I do it with humor.
345
00:18:08,655 --> 00:18:10,633
Say that new york city
Has a financial crisis.
346
00:18:10,657 --> 00:18:12,167
"Hey, kids, you
Know new york city
347
00:18:12,191 --> 00:18:13,323
Has a financial crisis?
348
00:18:13,392 --> 00:18:14,703
I got a way to solve it.
349
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:17,761
The mayor should go
Begging one day a week.
350
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:21,465
'excuse me, mister, spare
$100,000 for a new bus?'"
351
00:18:25,472 --> 00:18:28,739
Then the class would laugh.
352
00:18:28,808 --> 00:18:33,143
Ring, ring, ring.
353
00:18:35,081 --> 00:18:36,180
What are you doing?
354
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:37,515
It's the bell.
355
00:18:37,584 --> 00:18:38,816
This is a pretend class.
356
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:41,885
I'm pretending it's over.
357
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:45,656
♪ nobody knows the
Trouble I've seen ♪
358
00:18:45,725 --> 00:18:49,092
♪ nobody knows the sorrow ♪
359
00:18:53,098 --> 00:18:54,231
All right, look.
360
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,834
I know that she's not
What you're used to,
361
00:18:56,902 --> 00:18:58,969
But you gotta give her a chance.
362
00:18:59,038 --> 00:19:00,482
I mean, yesterday
Was her first time
363
00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:01,983
In front of a real class.
364
00:19:02,007 --> 00:19:03,307
Oh, that's nice.
365
00:19:03,376 --> 00:19:07,879
That's the first time you
Called us a real class.
366
00:19:07,947 --> 00:19:09,624
- good morning, ms. Wright.
- good morning.
367
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:11,815
- good morning, ms. Wright.
- hey, how you doin'?
368
00:19:11,884 --> 00:19:13,584
Well, uh, we just got underway,
369
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:14,963
You want to take
It from the start?
370
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:15,987
Mm-hm.
371
00:19:16,055 --> 00:19:17,499
And, uh, thanks for your advice.
372
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:20,524
I know just what to do.
373
00:19:20,593 --> 00:19:23,427
Uh, ms. Wright, about yesterday,
374
00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:24,862
I'm really sorry.
375
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:28,366
It's just that, you know, you
Weren't capturing my style.
376
00:19:28,434 --> 00:19:30,901
In your mouth with a sandwich.
377
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:46,884
Uh...
378
00:19:46,953 --> 00:19:49,619
It's nice to be working
Here again at buchanan.
379
00:19:49,688 --> 00:19:52,056
Actually, it's nice
To be working...
380
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:53,523
Anywhere again.
381
00:19:56,929 --> 00:20:00,797
Uh, I know you're out there,
I can hear you breathing.
382
00:20:06,004 --> 00:20:07,971
Being a teacher
Reminds me of the story
383
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,641
Of this student
Who asked his father,
384
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:12,142
"Where are the himalayas?"
385
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:15,078
And his father answered,
"If you'd put your things away
386
00:20:15,147 --> 00:20:16,858
When you were through
Playing with them,
387
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:20,351
Maybe you could find them."
388
00:20:20,419 --> 00:20:22,753
I'm rolling!
389
00:20:29,595 --> 00:20:32,663
I hear new york is
Having a financial crisis.
390
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:35,533
Why don't we have a fire sale?
391
00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:44,742
But... But seriously, folks.
392
00:20:44,811 --> 00:20:48,879
But, uh... But
Seriously, mr. Kotter.
393
00:20:48,948 --> 00:20:53,049
I can't go on with
This, this just isn't me.
394
00:20:53,118 --> 00:20:54,730
- where are you goin'?
- I'm quitting.
395
00:20:54,754 --> 00:20:56,794
Hey, no, you're not.
No, you can't quit.
396
00:20:56,822 --> 00:20:58,488
Why not? I'm a lousy teacher.
397
00:20:58,557 --> 00:20:59,623
So what?
398
00:20:59,692 --> 00:21:01,892
It's only because
We're lousy students.
399
00:21:01,961 --> 00:21:05,162
We can't quit.
400
00:21:05,231 --> 00:21:08,766
Ms. Wright, look, I'm afraid
I gave you a bum steer.
401
00:21:08,835 --> 00:21:10,478
You tried to do it by the book,
402
00:21:10,502 --> 00:21:12,770
And now you just tried to do me.
403
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:14,705
Why don't you try
To be yourself?
404
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:16,140
You can't quit.
405
00:21:16,209 --> 00:21:18,609
What would this world be
Like if everybody just quit?
406
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:21,745
A lot like this class.
407
00:21:23,782 --> 00:21:25,883
Yeah, where would
We be if mr. Kotter
408
00:21:25,952 --> 00:21:27,985
Would've walked out on us, huh?
409
00:21:28,053 --> 00:21:31,154
Still in the ninth grade.
410
00:21:31,223 --> 00:21:33,301
We all learn the same
Basic things in life.
411
00:21:33,325 --> 00:21:36,293
Doesn't matter if you're a
Teacher or if you're a student.
412
00:21:36,362 --> 00:21:38,796
We can't stop learning.
413
00:21:38,865 --> 00:21:40,030
Try it again.
414
00:21:40,099 --> 00:21:41,499
Come on, try it.
415
00:21:41,567 --> 00:21:43,300
You can't go home.
416
00:21:43,369 --> 00:21:45,336
Try it again.
417
00:21:45,404 --> 00:21:50,474
But I just don't know
How to talk to them.
418
00:21:50,542 --> 00:21:54,711
Whatever you're gonna teach
'em, just teach 'em as yourself.
419
00:21:54,780 --> 00:21:59,016
Okay. Okay.
420
00:21:59,085 --> 00:22:02,353
Yesterday you were discussing
Presidents of the united states,
421
00:22:02,421 --> 00:22:06,223
So today I had wanted to tell
You about president buchanan.
422
00:22:06,292 --> 00:22:08,525
Boy, that name sounds familiar.
423
00:22:12,732 --> 00:22:15,065
Vinnie, that's the guy who
This school was named after,
424
00:22:15,134 --> 00:22:16,900
President buchanan.
425
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:18,580
If they named this
School after him,
426
00:22:18,604 --> 00:22:20,670
He must have been
A lousy president.
427
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:22,906
Well, actually, you're right.
428
00:22:22,975 --> 00:22:25,709
He was a lousy president,
He was our 15th president,
429
00:22:25,778 --> 00:22:29,079
And he was largely
Responsible for the civil war.
430
00:22:29,148 --> 00:22:32,282
Well, that wasn't so bad.
431
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:36,319
A lot of great songs
Came out of that war.
432
00:22:36,389 --> 00:22:38,321
Yeah, yeah, if it wasn't
For the civil war,
433
00:22:38,391 --> 00:22:39,601
Can you imagine how dull
434
00:22:39,625 --> 00:22:41,492
"Gone with the
Wind" would've been?
435
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,661
Well, speaking of dull,
President james buchanan
436
00:22:44,730 --> 00:22:46,630
Spent four years in his office
437
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:48,209
Staring at portraits on the wall
438
00:22:48,233 --> 00:22:49,945
Wondering if he
Was better looking
439
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:51,668
Than george washington.
440
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:52,970
Hey, you know what?
441
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,405
He probably would've
Made a terrific sweathog.
442
00:22:55,474 --> 00:22:57,285
That's right, tell me
More about this guy.
443
00:22:57,309 --> 00:22:58,342
Tell me about it.
444
00:22:58,410 --> 00:23:00,177
Well, he was the only president
445
00:23:00,245 --> 00:23:02,346
That never got married.
446
00:23:02,415 --> 00:23:05,182
I guess he... Never had a date.
447
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:09,519
And that's the way it was,
448
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:15,325
Nearly 200 years ago today.
449
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:18,762
This bicentennial
Moment is brought to you
450
00:23:18,831 --> 00:23:21,798
By our teacher, ms. Wright.
451
00:23:25,938 --> 00:23:27,215
I'm doing it, aren't I?
452
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:28,617
I'm teaching, I'm
Really teaching.
453
00:23:28,641 --> 00:23:29,906
You certainly are.
454
00:23:29,975 --> 00:23:31,820
Welcome to the battle
For the brains, teacher.
455
00:23:31,844 --> 00:23:33,321
- thank you.
- so, what happened?
456
00:23:33,345 --> 00:23:34,823
Was he better looking or not?
457
00:23:34,847 --> 00:23:36,113
Was he impeached?
458
00:23:36,181 --> 00:23:38,782
He was the only president
Who couldn't get a date.
459
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:48,203
Julie, did I ever tell
You about my uncle
460
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:49,592
Wilfred k. Kotter?
461
00:23:49,661 --> 00:23:51,139
You mean the strange one?
462
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:53,063
Boy, was he
Strange. Strange guy.
463
00:23:53,131 --> 00:23:54,842
One time he goes
To a psychiatrist.
464
00:23:54,866 --> 00:23:56,733
He says, "Doc, do
You think it's possible
465
00:23:56,802 --> 00:23:59,102
For a man to be in
Love with an elephant?"
466
00:23:59,171 --> 00:24:00,371
That's ridiculous.
467
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:01,950
That's what the doctor said.
468
00:24:01,974 --> 00:24:03,619
"Mr. Wilfred k. Kotter,
That is ridiculous.
469
00:24:03,643 --> 00:24:06,076
A man cannot be in
Love with an elephant."
470
00:24:06,145 --> 00:24:08,279
Well, my uncle looked
Kind of sad and he said,
471
00:24:08,347 --> 00:24:09,891
"All right, but can you tell me
472
00:24:09,915 --> 00:24:11,955
Where I can get rid of an
Engagement ring this big?"
