:24:02
Breakfast anyone?
:24:03
No, none for me.
:24:05
Oh, of course not.
:24:06
You're probably gonna
starve yourself to death.
:24:09
What makes you think
that I'd take my own life?
:24:11
Oh, I was speaking
figuratively, dear.
:24:15
But these
financial statements...
:24:16
Clifford, cash
your paycheck quickly.
:24:18
Margaret! Mar... Mar...
Would you please excuse me?
:24:20
That is private business
between the trustees and me.
:24:23
Forget it,
everything's peachy...
:24:25
Harmon Rousehorn,
I'm gonna call him
:24:26
and tell him to
cancel his visit.
:24:28
We don't need
his endowment check.
:24:30
Don't you dare.
:24:31
My God!
:24:32
Oh! Honestly, some people
just can't take a joke.
:24:36
I'm gonna water
my begonias.
:24:41
Well, I would prefer
for you to hear it from me.
:24:43
But without the
Rousehorn endowment check
:24:45
this college can't even meet
its current payroll.
:24:47
But we are getting the check.
:24:49
I mean, Rousehorn's coming in
to present it himself.
:24:51
It's a major endowment.
It's in the press.
:24:53
Look, son, without
that check, Monday next
:24:56
the banks are gonna
close this college down.
:24:59
Close it down.
:25:01
One hundred years
of scholarship
:25:03
and public service
shot to shit.
:25:07
I've gotta go up
and get some winks
:25:09
before my 11:00 lecture.
:25:11
You've got a 9:00.
:25:12
Is today Wednesday?
:25:13
Yes, Wednesday.
:25:14
I thought it was Thursday.
:25:21
Excuse me, please.
Thank you.
:25:24
Morning.
:25:25
Ah-ah-ah. Places, please.
:25:27
Let's begin. Sorry I'm late.
:25:31
We were discussing
the hero's role in chivalry
:25:34
as exemplified by
the character of Lancelot,
:25:36
based on Thomas Malory's
Le Morte d'Arthur.
:25:39
Entranced by
Arthur's Queen Guinevere,
:25:42
Lancelot,
a knight of impeccable virtue,
:25:45
faces a crisis
:25:46
as his idée fixe
confronts his libido.
:25:49
Any comments?
:25:50
Mr. Frankman,
:25:52
what do you think
of Lancelot's crisis?
:25:56
Well, I think
Lancelot was an idiot.
:25:59
Mr. Frankman,
how long have you been
