:16:02
His attempt to resist the normal, healthy
discipline of being put into Coventry...
:16:06
brought no further discipline from us.
:16:08
But it did bring him a solid bash
on the nose from one of his fellows.
:16:12
It was a blow, I am sorry to say,
that any one of the other 120 boys...
:16:15
in the school
would have been glad to deliver.
:16:18
Oh.
:16:22
Well, in that case...
:16:25
- have some coffee, Dr. Finley.
- Thanks.
:16:28
Now, tell me.
This bash on the nose came from a Bison?
:16:31
- A Buffalo. Wellman is a Buffalo, isn't he?
- Yes, sir.
:16:37
Perhaps you will accept
some coffee, too, Mr. Tyler.
:16:39
Thank you, sir.
:16:41
Really, Mr. Cheyne,
Harvey is great material.
:16:43
He's simply been misdirected, that's all.
:16:45
Smart. Why he has a mind
as fine as any in the school.
:16:48
Well, he certainly fooled me.
:16:49
It seems that I have begotten
a sort of junior Machiavelli.
:16:53
Perhaps it's not my place to say this,
Mr. Cheyne...
:16:55
but it's simply because you and he
have never had any relationship.
:16:58
To him, you're just a machine pouring out
money, a machine he's trying to imitate.
:17:01
If you take time out from being a tycoon
in big business and spend more time...
:17:04
getting to know your own son,
you'll realize...
:17:06
I'm sure Mr. Cheyne realizes that
very clearly now.
:17:09
I can see that the school would do with
a little more cooperation with me, yes.
:17:13
But you gentlemen must realize...
:17:14
that besides being
both father and mother to Harvey...
:17:17
I'm tied up in my own work...
:17:20
in matters that also relate
to his future welfare.
:17:23
I suppose what you want from me,
Dr. Finley...
:17:25
is permission to deal as drastically
with Harvey...
:17:28
as his future conduct might deserve.
:17:29
I'm afraid we'll have to leave that
in your hands for a while, Mr. Cheyne.
:17:33
For the rest of the spring term at least,
Harvey will have to be rusticated.
:17:36
Rusticated?
:17:38
"Temporarily canned,"
I believe the boys call it.
:17:42
Well, that is news. And here I'm trying
to put you on the carpet.
:17:45
It seems a bit thick...
:17:46
after the printing press
and all your other generosities...
:17:49
but for that very reason,
for the effect on the other boys.
:17:52
Oh, I understand perfectly, Doctor.
You've no other course.
:17:55
Well, Bob, if we're going to catch
that train, we must be off.
:17:58
Goodbye, Mr. Cheyne.
:17:59
I'm sure that when Harvey comes back
in the fall...
