Stand and Deliver

---

Typewriters, transcripts,

anything missing?

The key to the ladies room.

Where was the fecal material found?

In the corner.

You'll know when you're near it.

- This was mailed to me.

- Just a minute.

If you don't have a telephone,

bring in a gas bill.

We need proof that you live

in the district.

I'm Jaime Escalante.

I'm supposed to teach Computer Science.

We don't have computers.

We were supposed to get computers,

but there's no funding for them again.

I'm Raquel Ortega,

chairman of the math department.

We'll be working together.

You don't understand.

I was supposed to teach computers.

- Where were you last night?

- Where was I?

"Where was I?" I was waiting.

You the new teacher?

Please find a seat.

What are we doing today?

Will everyone please try to find a seat?

If you can't find a seat...

...stand against the wall.

Let's put our desks in a circle

and discuss our feelings.

One body to a desk.

Could we talk about sex?

Then I'd have to give sex for homework.

Stand back everybody, please.

I can get you fired for saying that.

What'd he say?

Entienden ingls?

Sometimes.

Please move forward

if you do not speak English.

All the first row, stand up. Move out.

I was the first one here.

I'll find you another seat, okay?

Be careful.

This is Math 1-A.

I don't need math. I got a solar calculator

with my dozen doughnuts.

The bus is exact change. No big deal.

Quiet!

Everyone back in the classroom!

Everyone back in the class!

It was a premature bell. Back in the class.

That was a premature bell.

Premature bell?

We're not supposed to discuss sex in class.

Sit down! Stop talking!

They rigged the bell.

Those little bastards.

She's looking good, Joe.

When are you coming aboard?

I get seasick in the rain.

- Have you seen my boy?

- He was riding around here somewhere.

I hear your company's pushing

whole hog into PCs.

I don't work there anymore.

Jaime's teaching high school now.

Here's your thingy.

If you got laid off,

why didn't you come to me?

We pay kids right out of college $30,000.

I didn't get laid off. I want to teach.

High school teacher.

Well, good. That's great.

This is your job.

I was going to do it.

Why do you think I hurried home?

You're not even breathing hard,

you're hurrying so fast.

Have a good night, Joe.

I want a burger, hold the French fries,

the onions, and the pickles!

You look like Julia Child.

What you got?

It's an apple.

How much?

What do you mean?

What have you got?

Half.

Good.

Excuse my German accent.

What have you got?

Missing 25 percent.

- What?

- It's missing 25 percent.

That's right. Missing 25 percent.

Is it true intelligent people

make better lovers?

What you got?

I got a core.

You owe me 100 percent.

I'll see you in The People's Court.

Everyone please open your books,

Chapter 2, Page 26.

Multiplication of fractions...

...and percentages.

25 percent...

...50 percent...

...75 percent...

...and 100 percent.

Who's calling the shots, ese?

Have you got a slip?

You got a slip?

You'll have to stand in the back

until I can get another desk.

You sit right here.

Everyone please read

the first paragraph for a second.

- Where's your equipment?

- Don't got any.

Got to come to this class prepared.

Do the work in my head.

You know the times tables?

I know the one's...

...two's...

...three's.

Finger Man. I heard about you.

Are you the Finger Man?

I'm the Finger Man, too.

Do you know what I can do?

I know how to multiply by nine.

9 x 3. One, two, three. What do you get?

27!

6 x 9. One, two, three, four, five, six.
