I look at all of you and I think,
"What is this generation?"
A bunch of Ritalin addicted porn freaks
who are probably sociopaths.
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
New boy.
- I'm Ed.
- Hemingway.
Which of his works did you devour?
Please, don't say The Help.
Well... I read, actually,
I have The Old Man and the Sea,
just randomly.
Death in the Afternoon,
The Sun Also Rises most of the others.
I like those books.
Hey, gay book club.
Don't add homophobe to idiot, Valchek,
okay?
People already don't like you.
Ed, what themes are
important to Hemingway?
Proving you're a man
by trying to get killed.
You don't say?
A bull, a big fish,
a woman, war,
drinking and driving.
I mean, just crazy stuff, quite frankly.
All to prove that he's a...
He's a man, because his mom
made him wear dresses.
Welcome. Mr. Ed.
Welcome.
Virginia's finest.
It is August 20th and I am Chase
and these are
your morning announcements.
Football trials will be this Thursday
at 4:
00 PM on the football field.Please, bring your
signed permission slips
and personal injury insurance forms.
Be part of the myth.
All of his teeth were stuck in my fist.
Did you just arrive here
from a parallel universe?
Oregon.
I come from Oregon.
Nice to meet ya.
And, when you're in the chamber
and the scan starts,
don't be frightened.
And, we'll have you out in a jiffy.
Have I died and become a baby?
How long?
This is the hardest part of my job.
Do you need a hug?
I'm just saying, I just...
Are you really gonna make this moment
about you?
And your feelings?
You big baby.
Three months.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
No.
No, you're not.
You're just embarrassed.
Shit.
Shit! F*ck!
My, Gosh! Found it.
I found it.
Hi, Ed.
This is Jerry. We...
We work together at work.
Nice to meet ya, Ed.
You too, Jerry.
Hey, neighbor.
You notice anything?
- No.
- Remember I used to make you
alphabet meals?
Yeah, that was sweet.
Braised beans with bacon,
beef brochettes,
biscuit,
BJ,
Bo J, Borange juice.
We have to make friends.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah...
The guy seemed cool.
The guy...
Just for a second...
Mom.
I love you, Mom.
So, to your assignment.
It is to put down your Candy Crush
and your commitment to narcissism,
and go talk,
converse, engage in a dialog
with an old person.
To gain wisdom from the past,
and in your case,
acknowledge that the past existed.
This whole school is about the past.
Only when it comes to football, McCall.
Sabres, Sabres, Sabres.
Thank you gentleman,
you're needed back at Nuremberg.
Okay, so this conversation
will then become an illuminating essay
of two thousand words.
Get to it.
So, I have got perfect nickels,
I've never done these before, okay?
At $29.95,
basically the cost of certification.
And I'm gonna
give you the opportunity...
Hi!
Afternoon sir. I'm Ed,
just moved next door.
I have a school assignment
where we have to get the stories
and wisdom of an old person.
Well, I can't help you, buddy. I...
I don't know any old people.
Okay, unforeseen
semantic difficulty.
Hey, kid.
- How old are you?
- 17.
You drive?
So, sir.
Ashby. Call me Ashby.
Ashby.
So, let's start with the basics.
How old are you?
Let's just say...
I can't remember the last morning
I woke up with a piss-hard boner.
Yeah?
I wasn't... You know...
Wasn't...
I can still get the wood.
Okay.
What... What did you do for a living?
Sold napkins.
- Napkins?
- Napkins, coasters,
I did straws for a while
but it just wasn't my thing.
Sounds interesting.
Loved it.
Stop here.
