in the next.

Living one day at a time...

Right, one day at a time.

Good for them.

Okay, so "suffrage",

what does it mean?

Miguel.

To be in pain?

No. Okay, you know what,

that's "suffering."

"No, that's 'suffering." '

Okay, no, you know what?

No, we're not

repeating today, Muba.

Thank you.

Sorry.

It's fine.

We're just not doing it today.

We're just gonna do it

a couple times as a study aid.

Sorry.

It's okay, it's fine.

No, "suffrage" is

the right to do something.

The right to not feel pain.

No.

Okay, look, we covered this

for, like, 45 minutes.

You guys remember Monday?

You guys remember Monday?

When we went over

this for, like, 45...

The whole class dedicated

to this. You don't...

"Suffrage" has nothing

to do with pain. No pain.

No pain, no gain?

Okay, we're off track.

We are

definitely off track here.

The right to vote?

I'm sorry,

you got something to say?

Niko. But forget it.

I'm sure it's wrong.

Please, look, there are

no wrong answers here,

people. You know what?

I'm gonna stop right there 'cause there

are obviously a lot of wrong answers,

but there are a couple

wrong answers, but...

It's okay, there are.

But let's give

it a shot anyway.

The right to vote?

There you go. Okay?

Yes!

You know what, "suffrage" is

the right to elect leaders.

You understand, right, Miguel?

I do, I do.

Okay, good.

Mr. Voss! Mr. Voss.

Can I talk to you?

Sure, what's up?

I always try to

be a good student.

But when it comes

to taking tests,

I get all clenched

in the tight spot.

If I fail this

citizenship test,

they'll send me

back to Holland.

And things here are

just starting to twist.

I'm sorry, is that good?

I don't even...

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Twisting is good.

So, I was wondering,

is there any way you can

give me a little extra help?

Extra help?

Yeah, you know what,

I kind of got,

like, a full plate right now.

I can't, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

All right.

Thank you. Thank you.

Niko!

I'll move some things around and maybe we

can sit down later tonight, all right?

You are the best!

Oh, thank you!

Thank you very much!

All right.

You can stop that now.

Yeah, all right.

Yeah, we're good.

We're good.

There he is!

Hey! How are you?

Good.

Oh, thanks for doing this, buddy.

Sure.

Scott, meet Koen and Nard.

Koen, Nard, this is Scott.

Hey, guys.

Oh, close the door,

before the ferret gets out.

The ferret, the ferret.

Okay, okay.

Hang your coat right there.

Okay.

He has no weaknesses.

He has incredible

knockout power...

Wow, you used to fight, huh?

Yeah.

Long time ago.

Now I just teach

Mixed Martial Arts at my gym.

Should we study or...

Oh, yeah!

Right after we watch UFC.
