to have been there to see that.

Can you just imagine his face?

(GIGGLES)

I tell you, Alex, it's never dull

around here on Mondays.

- Oh, you ought to...

- Excuse me?

Could you tell me

where I might find room 127?

Yup. Just go back, go down the steps,

turn right and it's right around the corner.

- Thank you very much.

- Yeah.

(BELL RINGING)

Well, back to the trenches.

My God, it's a stampede.

Where are you going?

I thought you didn't like school!

MAN:
Move it! Now!

(STUDENTS CHATTERING)

Hey, Timmy, if you're not running

for President, sit down.

All right, will you?

All right. If you're not here, speak up.

(ALL LAUGHING)

All right, boys and girls!

Ladies and gentlemen.

Today we're gonna delve

into the fascinating world

of radiator repair.

Oh, we're supposed to be learning about

social studies, not radiators.

Learning is limitless, Tim.

(BELL RINGING)

Hold it down, please.

Hold it down.

Paller?

- Paller?

- Here!

Look, just raise your hand.

That's all I need.

Please, can you keep it down? Please!

Frame? Please. Not those pants.

Not again. All right.

Hold it down. Please, please. Hold it down.

Henson? Henson? How are you, Henson?

- Pretty good.

- Good to see you.

- Alvado?

- Alvedo!

What?

Yesterday you said it was Alvado.

No, I didn't, Mr. Rosenberg.

Yes, you did.

And the day before it was Alverus.

No, I didn't!

You're trying to get me into trouble, man.

(ALL LAUGHING)

What's so funny?

I don't find anything funny.

Aren't you going to take attendance?

Attendance?

Oh, yes.

Sarah, I asked for a wrench,

not a screwdriver.

Oh, I don't know.

- Which is it?

- It's by your right hand.

Your other right hand.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Thank you.

(SNORING)

No calculators, Ms. Mason.

A "B" becomes a "C,"

remember, with a calculator.

What is this, summer camp?

Please, please.

Everybody has their own paper.

Come on, Danny, you forgot

to carry over...

(SCREAMING)

All right, everybody. Stay put.

Please! Please let me go!

Somebody, please! Somebody!

(STUDENTS CLAMORING)

Alex! Alex!

Get him off me!

Get him off me!

Get him off me! Get him off me!

He's crazy. He's crazy!

Dues are not being paid here, people.

Let's try and bring

those delinquent ones up to date,

or we're gonna have to take action.

A union cannot be run on just

good intentions alone.

We need cold hard cash.

I want you to know that as your union rep,

I'm on top of this.

They want us here at 7:35.

We're gonna hold firm until we get 7:38.

Now, these are our three minutes

and we will get it.

And if we were a private school

then we wouldn't have to depend

on a bond issue for our salary.

How do you spell tardiness?

L-a-t-e.
