- How long have you been teaching here?
- Oh, 12 years.

:07:02
Two purple hearts and no salary increase.
:07:05
They hire fools like us
with college degrees...

:07:08
...to sit on that garbage can,
keep them in school.

:07:11
So women, for a few hours a day, can walk
around the city without getting attacked.

:07:15
Really?
:07:18
I mean, there must be some students
who wanna learn.

:07:24
You gonna teach them in that outfit?
:07:27
Because if those kids ever get a look at...
:07:30
Have you arranged with the National Guard
to escort you to class every day?

:07:34
Ladies and gentlemen,
your attention please.

:07:38
Your principal, Mr. Warneke.
:07:41
Welcome. Welcome to the old faces.
Welcome to the new faces.

Miss Panucci.
:07:48
Say, these kids, they can't
all be bad, can they?

:07:52
No? Why?
:08:01
Makes you feel good, doesn't it?
:08:04
Oh, it's funny. I didn't think it would affect
me this way. After all, it's only a job...

:08:09
...but when I stepped in my own classroom,
it was like reaching a goal of a kind.

:08:14
- I don't believe I got your name.
- Josh Edwards.

:08:16
- How are you, sir?
- Two first names, like Harry James.

:08:19
Do you like swing?
:08:21
- Yeah, well, most of it.
- I've got a really fine collection.

:08:25
I can't remember ever being so excited.
:08:28
It'll pass. You wait till Monday.
:08:31
The way some of the teachers
were talking...

:08:34
...you don't really expect
any trouble, do you?

:08:37
- I mean, I figure you can handle any kid if...
- lf you can handle them.
