I'm not gonna just come up

and grab it and snatch it!

I'm not a dog.

You treat me

like a dirty old woman.

You're calling

yourself that, not me...

A pervert!

When anyone else would think

I have normal, sexual desires!

(sighs)

George Washington, John Adams,

Thomas Jefferson,

James Madison, James Monroe,

and John Quincy Adams...

I memorized them all one night

when it was raining.

Well, good!

That is real good.

Now, who can tell me

the three most important

systems of the human body?

Aurelie.

Um, skeletal, muscular

and circulatory.

Well, that is right.

That is absolutely right,

I can tell your daddy

is in medical school.

And who knows what

the word "onomatopoeia" is?

For example, the word "plop"?

It looks like Aurelie

is the only one...

Again.

Boy:
(whispering)

Shut up.

Maybe I should go

to a different school.

Everybody hates me.

Sure, if you wanna be a quitter.

In my opinion, you should be

proud of your intelligence!

You try and please

all the dipshits of the world,

you'll end up

on an escalator going down.

Who knows, you might be

the first woman president.

Those jackasses

would be glad to have you

in the Back-of-the-Class Club.

Dad, you're hilarious.

"Back-of-the-Class" Club?

There is

no Back-of-the-Class Club!

I'm trying to talk to you

like an adult.

Back-of-the-Class Club,

Smoking-Dope Club,

Running-Around-No-Good Gang...

It's all the same!

Hey, you don't think

I'd rather be 18 or 19,

and just starting college, huh?

I had the intelligence,

but I did not have good advice.

Is that why you became

a flight steward

instead of a pilot?

Who said I wanted

to be a pilot, huh?

Pilots don't have it so good.

They're stuck in the cockpit

the whole time.

Who gets to talk

to the diplomats?

Now, what do you think?

- Aurelie:
Think of what?

- Jim:
My swimming.

- Your head's above water.

- Lots of people swim like this.

Bad swimmers, for example.

Bad swimmers?

Dad, you have to be a good

swimmer, this is college.

You're gonna get an F.

I know what I'm doing.

It's called the breast stroke.

Your head's still above water.

(Jeanne sighs)

My feet are killing me.

Who wants to give me a massage?

How much will you pay?

Do I ask you to pay me every time

I do something nice for you?

How about nothing?

When do you do

nice things for me?

All the time.

Food.

Jim:
Ah, great!

You ever heard of this?

"How to Make Friends

and Influence People."

No.

Very popular book.

Very successful.

She's not gonna like

that book.

Jim:
Yes, she is!

- It looks 100 years old.

- It's from the 1950s,

and it's very popular

because it works.

You read this, and those bullies

will leave you alone.
