ALVY'S VOICE
I remember the staff at our public
school. You know, we had a saying, uh,
that "Those who can't do, teach, and
those who can't teach, teach gym." And
...uh, h'h, of course, those who couldn't
do anything, I think, were assigned to
our school. I must say-
CUT TO:
A female teacher standing in front of an old-fashioned schoolroom. The
blackboard behind her reads "Transportation Administration. The camera pans
her point of view: a group of young students sitting behind their desks. Alvy
as a child sits in a center desk wile all around him there is student activity;
there is note-passing, ruler-tapping, nose-picking, gumchewing.
ALVY'S VOICE
I always felt my schoolmates were idiots.
Melvyn Greenglass, you know, fat little
face, and Henrietta Farrell, just Miss
Perfect all the time. And-and Ivan
Ackerman, always the wrong answer. Always.
Ivan stands up behind his desk.
IVAN:
Seven and three is nine.
Alvy hits his forehead with his hand. Another student glances over at him,
reacting.
ALVY'S VOICE
Even then I knew they were just jerks.
(The camera moves back to the teacher,
who is glaring out at her students)
In nineteen forty-two I had already dis-
As Alvy talks, the camera shows him move from his seat and kiss a young girl.
She jumps from her seat in disgust, rubbing her cheek, as Alvy moves back to
his seat.
1ST GIRL
(Making noises)
Ugh, he kissed me, he kissed me.
TEACHER:
(Off screen)
That's the second time this month! Step
up here!
As the teacher, really glaring now, speaks, Alvy rises from his seat and moves
over to her. Angry, she points with her band while the students turn their
heads to watch what will happen next.
ALVY:
What'd I do?
TEACHER:
Step up here!
ALVY:
What'd I do?
TEACHER:
You should be ashamed of yourself.
The students, their heads still turned, look back at Alvy, now an adult,
sitting in the last seat of the second row.
ALVY (AS ADULT)
(First off screen, then onscreen as
camera moves over to the back of the
classroom)
Why, I was just expressing a healthy sexual
curiosity.
TEACHER:
(The younger, Alvy standing next to her)
Six-year-old boys don't have girls on
their minds.
ALVY (AS ADULT)
(Still sitting in the back of
the classroom)
I did.
The girl the young Alvy kissed turns to the older Alvy, she gestures and
speaks.
1ST GIRL
For God's sakes, Alvy, even Freud speaks
of a latency period.
ALVY (AS ADULT)
(Gesturing)
Well, I never had a latency period. I
can't help it.
