:16:01
If you're a teacher,
why were you working there?
:16:04
I couldn't live on the salary
of a teacher.
:16:07
This job starts at 3000 a year.
:16:11
Then we're all wasting our time.
:16:13
That's only $5 a week more
than I was making as a teacher.
:16:16
But this offers you security.
A long-term contract.
:16:20
Guaranteed poverty is not security.
:16:23
I want 5000 a year and a raise
of 500 in the second year.
:16:26
- We can't do it.
- You own this mill.
:16:29
How much do you pay a foreman,
$200 a week?
:16:31
This is business. These men manufacture
a product that makes money.
:16:35
Be practical and face realities.
:16:37
To people like you,
education is a necessary evil.
:16:40
You can't see it,
so it's worth nothing.
:16:42
Let me tell you this,
the things we can't see...
:16:46
...are the most important things
on this earth. They're called ideas.
:16:50
Thank you for the interview.
:16:52
If we offer you 5000, would you
coach the basketball and football team?
:16:57
No, I would not.
:16:59
If you can't pay the principal
of your school a decent salary...
:17:02
...you have no right to be
running a school.
:17:05
Mr. Rossi.
:17:07
Leslie, I'm afraid you're fighting
a losing battle.
:17:12
Now, Mr. Rossi, frankly... .
:17:14
In other words, the life history of the
race repeats itself in the individual.
:17:24
- A notice from the school board.
- Thank you.
:17:29
"Effective immediately...
:17:31
...the school board of Peyton Place
is happy to announce...
:17:35
...the appointment of a new
school principal:
:17:38
Mr. Michael Rossi. "
:17:42
Who?
:17:44
"We trust that you will show him
the same loyalty and devotion...
:17:48
...you displayed to the late Mr. Firth. "
:17:54
Class dismissed.
