tomorrow or the next day.

I gotta draw the line, Ed.

-So I'm a little short on cash.

I mean, big deal. Maybe you haven't

heard, but the factory closed.

Yeah, and Darius hasn't

worked a day since.

How dare you act like I don't know

what the plant's closing means.

And how come you're willing to

turn against your own kind, huh?

I mean, people who

are hurting. -Look...

I got my own bills to pay, Ed.

I got my own mouths to feed.

Oh! All my beautiful

stuff. Days of collecting!

Aw, little kids' class

has show-and-tell again?

Right. Kate, would you like

to come and show the class

where Columbus first

landed in the New World?

You mean get up? -Yes.

I don't get up for anybody.

Right.

Excuse me. May I come

in? -Of course. Please.

Miss Montgomery, class.

Class!

I said, class!

Thank you. -You're welcome.

Um, this young man

is Ju-an Morales.

And he's new in our town and

will be joining your class.

Howdy, Ju-an.

Welcome to Elma, Ju-an.

Hello, Ju-an. Gica

Montgomery. -It's Juan.

Juan. You may take a seat.

Don't trip.

-Hey, Ju-an.

Class, let's all make our new

student feel at home, shall we?

Pull up a cot and get a pillow.

We're in the middle of geology.

That's geography, Larry.

-Whatever. Same thing.

Right. Can we all please

focus our attention up here.

Juan, we're learning

world geography.

Can someone please tell me

what's wrong with this globe?

You just broke it.

-Yes, that's true, but

since you all have

absolutely no interest

in learning anything

about anything

I'm talking about,

such as this globe...

Well, why don't we just

try something else with it?

Man, where'd you learn

to do that? -Prison!

Ow! -What?

Well, that's a joke, isn't it?

Um, I learned it in

school in England,

which is another

country far from Texas.

I have another idea. Do

you want to follow me?

Oops!

Whatever.

Here we have it. A

football. -I don't think so.

I think it's Mrs. Curdley's

old kickball, ma'am.

No, no, it's a ball. And if we use it

as a football, it becomes a football.

No, ma'am. Footballs aren't round.

They're more shaped like a lemon.

Oh. Well, that's right. What I call

football, you call soccer, so...

This is a soccer ball.

We don't play soccer.

-Yeah, it's for foreigners.

I'm a foreigner.

-Well, we're American.

And we don't like

soccer. -Let's go outside.

Isn't it time to

go home? -Whatever.

Right, that's the bell. What do you

say we all stay and have a practice?

Let's just stay. -Juan,

where are you going?

We need you. Don't

you want to try?

We don't need him. Let him go.

So let's have a

practice, shall we?

Give it a kick.

Hold up there, youngsters!

Good thing I happen to
