:27:02
Understand this?
:27:04
How about this? Dismissed.
:27:06
Ah, yes.
:27:08
-I don't understand my grade.
-That's the letter we use for failure.
:27:11
See me after class.
:27:14
-Do you have to ask him something?
-No, it's okay. Go ahead.
:27:19
Professor Alcott?
:27:22
-Yes.
-Hi.
:27:23
I'm on a Regents Scholarship.
I have to maintain a .5 average.
:27:26
I can do it with two As and a B+
because I can get a B in Physics.
:27:29
I can't get less than a B
because I'd only have one A left.
:27:32
The thing is, my roommates
never let me have any quiet study time.
:27:36
And now I've had to move.
:27:38
I have this kind of crazy philosophy
that your grades...
:27:41
...should represent your grasp
of the material...
:27:43
...not your negotiating skills,
which are amazing, by the way.
:27:47
No, I would never ask for a grade
that you didn't think was fair.
:27:51
It's just that since I have 20 credits
and I only need 16.
:27:55
I hoped to take this class pass-fail,
so I don't get kicked out.
:27:58
Sir, I promise I wouldn't slack off.
In fact, I'd work doubly hard.
:28:02
I'm ecstatic to hear your plans
to work doubly hard.
:28:04
Because Lit 100 courses are
never given pass-fail.
:28:08
Why don't you take
all that non-slacking energy...
:28:11
...and try to focus it
toward your finals. Okay?
:28:15
Yes, sir.
:28:18
That wasn't very nice.
:28:20
I'm a mean son of a bitch.
When's your next class?
:28:24
Not till 6:00.
:28:25
I'm off at 4:00.
:28:27
Okay, but can we discuss something
that I want to ask you about...
:28:31
...in a non-emotional way?
:28:33
Seriously, how am I supposed to teach
Camus when you're wearing this sweater?
:28:37
I think we may have to take it off.
:28:39
Do you think 4:00, my place?
I could be wrong, but I think so.
:28:42
I'm sorry you feel that way
about the French.
:28:44
It is a course on European Literature.
Can't ignore the whole country.
:28:54
Paulie.
:28:58
-Can I help you?
-Correct me if I'm wrong.
