Larry Crowne Page #3

I have an idea.

Okay. This is a simple machine.

All right, this is your gas, your brake.

I want you to put your foot on

that pedal down there.

This is your starter button. Push that.

Nice. You gonna need a special license.

- How fast does it go?

- Oh, pretty...

No, the brake, the brake!

Larry!

Sorry! Sorry!

It's got power!

Please enter your...

What sin did you commit to have a class

at 8:
00 a.m.?

Earning a master's in comparative

political discourse

in the plays of Shakespeare and Shaw. You?

Well, I just started race-walking

at the track. It was fun.

I hope I am never like that.

When was the last time you looked at

your life and saw nothing but fraud?

How long have you been teaching?

I used to remember.

You're right on time.

I wonder if I make a dollop of difference

to anyone sitting in my classroom.

We used to, until Facebook and Twitter killed

whatever attention span they had left.

Well, it's 7:
52.

Come on, we gotta get going.

Off I go. On my way.

Time for class.

That's a damn fine Zipper, mister.

It did get me here for a

nickel's worth of gas.

Didn't see you in the

scooter pit last term.

Oh, this is my first day of college, ever.

I love that.

You an ex-cop?

No. Why would you think that?

Tucking in a polo shirt makes you

look like one.

And the glasses don't help.

Well, no, I'm just a student.

You don't happen to know where the Speech

and Communications Building is, do you?

Didn't know there was one.

This is it?

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine.

My day has just been made.

Excuse me?

This class is canceled.

The state charter requires a minimum of

10 students per class

or else it costs more for us to be

here than not, so.

I mean, did you really want a class

at 8:
00 a.m.? I didn't.

No. Okay, thanks, anyway.

Is this Speech 217?

See if you can find yourself a seat.

My name is Miss Tainot,

T-A-I-N-O-T, Tainot.

Not "Tie-knot". Tay-no.

This is what you are going to learn

to do in my class.

If you do not care about this class,

then neither do I.

If you do not participate and show

up with enough sleep

to make it through the 55 minutes,

three dawns a week, that I have to be here

then you do not care about Speech 217,

the Art of Informal Remarks.

So, get out.

Get out, now! Go, right now! Go!

It was worth a try. Well, when next we

meet, this is what we're gonna do.

Each of you is going to address the class

for the first time.

You will tell us how to do something

that you already know how to do.

Miss Tie-knot?

Uh, Tay-knot?

Tae-Bo?

Really?

Who are you?

Steve Dibiasi. D-I-B-I-A-S-I.
