Splendor in the Grass Page #2

She breaks all the rules

and they kick her out.

Then you send her off to university.

She goes hog wild

and flunks all her courses.

Then you had to learn your lesson

all over again, didn't you?

Let her go off to art school

in a wild place like Chicago.

She gets tied up with some cake-eater who

gets her into trouble so he can marry her.

Your lawyer got it annulled.

Damn right I got it annulled.

When I made it clear to "Mr. Cake-Eater"

that I'd cut off her allowance...

...he backed out in a hurry.

She's just a headstrong little flapper...

...but I'll keep her home

and teach her a little discipline.

Yes, sir.

I'm gonna keep that young lady home,

teach her a little discipline.

If you think I'll stay

in this God-forsaken town...

...and have people gossip about me,

you've got another think coming.

I'll really give them something

to gossip about.

Why, Sister, you're up so early!.

I can't sleep in this house.

I'm going to California and live

with Aunt Blossom and study art.

Art who?

Welcome home, Miss Virginia.

Phoebe.

I hate it here. I'm a freak in this town.

Everybody stares at me

like I'm something out of a carnival.

'Cause you peroxide your hair

and paint your face like an Indian.

Good morning, everybody.

- Hey, how are you?

- Just great.

He's gonna make me stay home

a whole year just to punish me.

There aren't any more schools left

that'll have you.

There's nothing so distasteful-

This is the ugliest place

in the whole world.

Everywhere you look is an oil well,

even on the front lawn.

I'll bet you'd drill right here

in the dining room.

Damn right I would, if I thought

there was any oil in there.

I'll see you later.

How do you want your eggs, Bud darling?

Come back here

and eat a decent breakfast!

I'm late.

Come back! You can't play a football game

on a breakfast like that!

Neither of my children gets

any real nourishment.

Hey, you want a peach?

What?

Don't! Bud, don't!

Pardonnez-moi.

Wilma Dean, hereafter,

I shall count you tardy...

...if you are not in your seat

when the bell rings.

I'm sorry, Miss Metcalf.

Alan, please.

All right.

For the first few weeks,

we've been reading...

...the stories of King Arthur

and the Knights of the Round Table.

The literature of the age

was characterized by...

All right, Alan?

"By high ideals. "

True. And by what else?

You going with us to the football game?

All right, Carolyn?

They were very religious.

Religion was an important part of the lives

of the Knights and their fair ladies.

What else?

I'm going with you, but I'm waiting

for Bud after the game.

We knew that, crazy.

The Knights of the Round Table...
