:54:02
''Melanoma Head's'' coming.
:54:04
I'm sor-- Uncle, Maizy Russell's uncle.
I'm her uncle.
:54:10
Her mother set up
this conference with you.
:54:12
I'm assistant principal here...
:54:15
as you've probably noticed
from the indications on the door.
:54:22
- This door?
- The outer door!
:54:24
The outer door.
'Cause there's nothing on this one.
:54:27
That's about enough ofthat.
:54:31
Sorry.
:54:33
I've been an educator
for 31 .3 years...
:54:39
and in that time,
I've seen a lot of bad eggs.
:54:42
I say ''eggs'' because
at the elementary level...
:54:46
we are not dealing
with fully-developed individuals.
:54:52
I see a bad egg
when I look at your niece.
:54:57
She is a twiddler, a dreamer...
:55:00
a silly heart
and she is a jabberbox.
:55:04
And, frankly...
:55:06
I don't think she takes a thing...
:55:08
in her life or her career
as a student seriously.
:55:15
She's only six.
:55:17
That is not a valid excuse!
I hear that every day and I dismiss it.
:55:22
I don't want to know a six-year-old
who isn't a dreamer or a silly heart.
:55:26
I sure don't want to know one who
takes their student career seriously.
:55:30
I don't have a college degree.
I don't even have a job.
:55:35
Does anyone have a special story
to tell about something that happened?
:55:41
My uncle was microwaving my socks...
:55:43
and the dog threw up on the couch
for about an hour.
:55:46
Honest? Why was your uncle
microwaving your socks?
:55:50
He can't get the goddamn
washing machine to work.
:55:53
Blasphemer!
