I'll tell my pupils it's a circuit tester. I'll
lead the little lice in the chair one by one...

1:01:05
...and throw the switch on.
- They'll rig up that hot seat first...

1:01:09
...throw you in it and fry you.
- I'd have clobbered them.

1:01:12
- Would you?
- Sure.

1:01:13
Would you? They outnumber you,
outweigh you and outreach you.

1:01:17
They get hit at home
and in the streets.

1:01:19
- They're used to it.
- And understand it.

1:01:21
- What's that got to do with teaching?
- I never have any real trouble.

1:01:25
That's right, Miss Panucci.
He's a clobberer, you're a slobberer.

1:01:29
"I'm just a nice woman trying to do my job.
Now, please be nice, boys."

1:01:33
You. You give them the veteran pitch.
"I got the purple heart, boys."

1:01:38
You tell them about... What is it? The steel
plate in your head, the artificial leg.

1:01:42
You beg for sympathy. "I'm a veteran.
Help me keep my job?"

1:01:45
You don't care if they learn. He's lucky
they don't kick the artificial leg...

1:01:49
...out from underneath him. And you're
a slumberer. You sleepwalk.

1:01:53
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
1:01:56
Oh, every once in a while you make
sounds like a teacher. Nobody cares.

1:02:01
Nobody listens. I mean,
nobody cares, especially you.

1:02:04
This man, he's a grumbler. You hate
the kids. You have contempt for them.

1:02:08
- You condemn them.
- All right, what about you, Zola?

1:02:12
I'm... I'm a fumbler.
1:02:15
- I'm not doing any better than you.
- What are we supposed to do?

1:02:19
- Butt our heads on a stone wall?
- Yes.

1:02:21
- With kids that don't wanna learn?
- Yes.

1:02:23
- All right. How?
- I don't know how.

1:02:27
I mean, there must be some way to...
1:02:30
- There must be some way to reach them.
- Whom are you trying to convince?

1:02:34
Me or you?
1:02:44
- Rotten day, ain't it?
- Hello, Mrs. Brophy.

1:02:46
- You shouldn't be walking in the snow.
- I like it.

1:02:50
If I had a condition, I'd be carried like a
Chinese pagoda. Where'd you go, movies?

1:02:54
It's funny, habits. In the morning
when my husband goes to work...

1:02:58
...click, I turn on the radio. Nothing but
serials. In one ear and out the other.
