1:10:01
I came here
to tell you something...
1:10:03
If I may...
1:10:06
that I think...
1:10:09
that I think you've been wrong.
1:10:11
That I think
you've been terribly wrong.
1:10:14
Do you hate me now?
1:10:17
- Yes.
- Listen to me, Professor.
1:10:20
It is the power
that you hate so deeply...
1:10:22
that any atmosphere of
free discussion is impossible.
1:10:25
It's not unlikely.
It's impossible, isn't it?
1:10:28
- Isn't it?
- Yes, I suppose.
1:10:31
Now the thing
which you find so cruel...
1:10:33
is the self-same process
of selection...
1:10:35
that I and my group go through
every day of our lives...
1:10:39
in admittance to school...
1:10:40
in our tests,
in our class rankings.
1:10:46
You write that education
is just hazing.
1:10:49
But we work
to get to this school...
1:10:52
and some of us
overcame prejudices...
1:10:54
economic, sexual...
you cannot begin to imagine...
1:10:57
and endured humiliations that
I pray you and those you love...
1:11:01
never will encounter
to gain admittance here...
1:11:04
to pursue that same dream
of security you pursue...
1:11:08
we, who are at any moment...
1:11:09
in danger of
being deprived of it.
1:11:12
By?
1:11:13
By the administration,
by the teachers, by you.
1:11:16
By one low grade that keeps us
out of graduate school.
1:11:20
By one capricious or
inventive answer on our parts...
1:11:23
which perhaps
you don't find amusing.
1:11:25
I don't understand!
1:11:29
My charges are not trivial.
1:11:31
You see that in the haste
with which they were accepted.
1:11:34
A joke you have told
with a sexist tinge.
1:11:37
The language you use.
1:11:39
A verbal or physical caress.
Yes, I know.
1:11:42
You say it's meaningless.
I understand.
1:11:44
I differ from you.
1:11:46
To lay a hand
on someone's shoulder...
1:11:48
It was devoid
of sexual content...
1:11:50
I say it was not!
1:11:53
Don't you begin to see,
to understand...
1:11:56
that it is not for you to say.
1:11:58
I take your point.
