The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
prev.
play.

next.

:40:01
from the root prefix "in,"
meaning "in,"

:40:03
and the stem "trudo..."
"I thrust."

:40:05
Ergo, to thrust a lot
of information into a pupil's head.

:40:09
To discuss education with such
a dedicated teacher...

:40:12
is always instructive.
:40:14
However, it was not for that reason
I asked you to come here.

:40:18
Miss Brodie...
:40:20
I am told that you make
weekly expeditions to Cramond.

:40:25
Yes. Isn't it
a lovely spot?

:40:30
It is, indeed.
:40:32
I believe Mr. Lowther inherited
the estate from his mother.

:40:34
He's lived there
all his life.

:40:36
Mr. Lowther is not
a worldly man...

:40:40
not a reckless man.
:40:42
It is doubtful whether he would
recognize recklessness in others.

:40:46
And recklessness
is an indulgence...

:40:49
that we at Marcia Blaine
must eschew...

:40:52
not only within our walls,
but in the personal life...

:40:55
the conduct, as it were,
of the teaching staff.

:40:59
Oh, Miss Mackay...
:41:02
I do not believe I have
ever fully appreciated...

:41:05
the taxing load of trivia...
:41:07
with which a headmistress
must concern herself.

:41:11
I must concern myself, Miss Brodie,
with this school's board of governors.

:41:15
I flatter myself that I am not
unknown to the board...

:41:19
having been a member
of the staff of Marcia Blaine...

:41:21
six years prior
to your engagement, Miss Mackay.

:41:25
I feel quite safe in saying...
:41:28
that no member of the board
has ever shown anything...

:41:30
but appreciation and approval
of my teaching methods.

:41:34
Oh! Oh, Miss Mackay...
:41:37
I use the woods of Cramond
for lessons in botany...

:41:42
the rocks of the shore to investigate
the mysteries of geology.

:41:48
It should be patently clear
that my expeditions to Cramond...

:41:52
are expeditions for enrichment.
:41:55
Enrichment for my girls...
and for Marcia Blaine.
