and not enough

itty-bitty little Indians.

Okay, vice principal?

I like you, Tom.

I know your past, Tom.

Don't be a hero.

Back to class, Sarah.

Oh, hey.

Yeah, look at you.

Rebecca Seberg.

Yeah, the inspector.

Well, look, do it.

Inspect away.

I'll tell you what you'll find, though...

a school on the brink,

a school beyond all hope,

Old Yeller,

but not a dog.

Wow.

It's rare to find

that kind of optimism these days.

Sarcasm.

You know what that is?

Lobstergram,

yeah, from Uncle Plimpton

back in Nantucket.

Lobsters are

arthropods,

crustaceans,

cockroaches of the sea,

but for all that

they are spineless,

literally exoskeleton.

I'm not sure

I follow the analogy.

And I'm not saying

there was one.

Maybe now there is.

Listen, toots,

you spend all day in your

fancy-Nancy administration building,

but this isn't basic training, okay?

This is live fire.

And I should know.

I was in 'Nam...

three years ago

on vacation, fine.

But the point is, I knew

when that war was lost,

just like I know these kids

are pretty much retarded.

And a retard's kind of like

a dying dog.

All they're good for is a laugh

and a kickin'.

And a kickin'. Got that?

I'm gonna look around

if you don't mind.

Boom. Do it.

Okay, and lastly, we need a noun.

Basil.

Proxy fight.

(giggling)

(laughing)

Here we go.

Lately my dad's mistresses

are quite alfresco...

that's a great word, Calvin, okay...

but battle cruisers like that,

especially my snuffalupagus

kind of booger time... what?

- just can't gestate the proxy fight!

What?

You guys, what did we

just come up with?

We are funny.

I'm glad that we don't suck.

It's nice not to suck.

Yeah. Don't I know it, Mernay?

Don't I know it?

What luck not to suck

like a duck stuck in the muck!

Did you see what I did?

I rhymed it.

Oh, well.

What's wrong, Turner?

Well, if I just had

a little more love in this world

then everything

would be perfect.

But we love you.

And I love you, Basil.

I love all you guys, honestly,

so much.

It's just

I'm talking about

a different kind of love,

the kind of love that's wet

and smells a little.

You see, guys,

there's so much love in my heart

that sometimes it overflows

and all the wrong stuff

comes bursting out.

All right, Rinaldo, all right.

It's time for you to get hungry, okay?

It's just round three.

You gotta take this round,

and then you got just 12 more,

to make it up.

Sack up, all right?

(groans)

(liquid squishes)

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah, come in.

(sobbing)

I don't want to be alive anymore.

Rebecca.

Oh my God, Tom.

It's not poop.

It's gravy.

(dings)

Okay, that's okay. Have a seat.

There you go.

You had a couple of good shots
