absorbed in almost

continuous prayer.

Vitamin crackers.

Here. Itll taste better now.

- I've got two.

- Thanks. I'm not hungry anymore.

That guy gets on my nerves.

- There's little Joseph now.

- You got the jam?

Stop it!

These are my clean pants!

Joseph's in love, boys.

Your girlfriend looks like a slut.

How about your sister?

Whats she look like?

- Is the teacher tough?

- No, he's nice.

- Have you had him?

- Yes. He was amazed at my Latin.

- They'll be ready to eat in three months.

- Sure, for Parents' Day.

So parents will say,

"You eat so well here!"

Lets see the stamps.

A 15-centime Madagascar.

The guy said its real rare.

Somewhat rare.

I think I'll keep my jam.

The grub here is lousy.

You're a real Jew.

So, you're in love?

Don't joke around. Its serious.

Could you spare 50 francs?

Women cost a bundle.

You'll find out.

No, I won't.

Besides, you're rich.

On what they pay me here?

If I could find another job -

I'm broke. Ask Franois.

Ciron, put some wood in the stove.

Its freezing in here.

No need to play the fool.

Who can prove that the sum

of the two opposite sides AB plus CD

equals the sum

of the other two sides?

The new boy.

- His name's Easter Bonnet, sir.

- Knock it off.

We know that tangents of a circle

from a given point are equal.

Therefore A equals a,

B equals b...

You think?

Turns your brain to mush,

but he doesn't have a lot to lose.

Right. Very good.

- Everyone understand?

- Yes, sir.

Great! An air raid!

We'll go down to the shelter.

But class isn't over.

Bring your books.

Hurry up, children.

- Mother Michel lost her cat

- Quiet!

Now for some algebra.

Follow along in your books.

Page 61.

Algebraic numbers

are like arithmetic numbers in that...

Give me some light?

Get lost.

Lift up the light.

I can't see.

I'll get caught!

You're such a pain!

They're bombing the station.

- No, its the barracks.

- Calm down and stay seated.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with you...

The lovebirds!

Quentin, turn that off!

Thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive our trespassers,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

To bed now. Good night.

Just curl up

like a little doggie.

Did you do this?

Sh*t!

What is it?

One, two...

three, four...

Shoulders back!

You've got biceps

like papier-mch!

She's showing off her ass.

Its a lot better than yours.

Quiet!

Ciron, 20 extra push-ups!

Keep going!

Get those rear ends down!

Its an A-sharp.

Can't you hear

when you hit a wrong note?

Go on.

You should try the violin.
