Good-Bye, Ortega.

When will you

be home?

After school.

Good-Bye.

What the hell is he

talking about here?

Oh!

Oh!

Aah!

Whoa! I got you.

You all right?

I think we should

begin pueblo day...

That's what I call

my field trip idea.

Pueblo day.

Because, we'll be going into

a pueblo village.

You see, we send the

students to a village,

Bringing medical aid

to the peasants.

It's humanitarian.

And the publicity

will make us

The most famous school

in Latin America.

I feel...

What do the American students

think of my school, Gomez?

What?

Don't you

listen to me?

Sandoval reports

They feel the classes

are too slow.

One student referred to it

as a Mickey mouse school.

Mickey mouse?

The cartoon mouse?

That's the only

Mickey mouse I know.

Who said this,

the girl?

Which girl?

Parker, the one

who slapped me.

Oh. No, it was

one of the boys.

I feel that pueblo

day should begin

With a great speech

by you.

Then we will

send the students

Into a village

Where they have

never seen a doctor

Before

in their lives.

Slow?

What?

They think that we're slow,

They think that

we're Mickey mice?

Let's see

how fast they are.

Schedule examinations.

Certainly.

For when?

Tomorrow.

Atencion, estudiantes,

La Universidad de Madera

Look, I'll be honest with you,

I don't like rules.

Shh! Shh!

Maiana a las 8:
00.

Holy sh*t!

Holy sh*t! We've got

an exam tomorrow.

Already?

How am I supposed to learn

this all in one night?

Surprise exam.

I can't do this.

This is ridiculous.

This is a pain in the ass.

I'm going to have

a goddamn heart attack.

Night-Night.

You finished studying?

Sure. I've got

a study buddy.

Who?

Benny.

Benny? Benny.

I don't know a Benny.

Let me introduce you

to speedy Benny,

My one-A-Day vitamin

for the brain.

Uppers.

That's right.

One a day?

How do you sleep?

Drop a lude.

Psychopharmacology's

my field.

Surgery is obsolete,

Jeff.

Drugs are the future

of medicine.

Y'all want one?

Mm-Hmm.

oh, I left a good job

in the city

workin' for the man

every night and day

and I never lost

one minute of sleepin'

worryin' about the way

things might have been

big wheel

keep on turnin'

turnin'

proud Mary

keep on burnin'

burnin'

rollin'

rollin'

rollin' on the river

go 'head now

rollin'

rollin'

and we're rollin'

yeah

rollin' on the river

give a toot toot

toot toot toot

toot toot toot

toot toot toot

international operator.

Please deposit

1,000 more pesos.

I don't have

1,000 more pesos.

Ok.

Oh, good. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

This is

the Marx residence...

Dad! This is me, Jeff. Listen. You were

right about school, and I was wrong.
