Starting Over Page #6

It makes me feel very strange.

I know. It did sound

a little bit like Tarzan.

It's just that I was trying to avoid

the whole romantic thing...

I don't like that, either. I hate that.

But can't you just personalize it a little?

I want to have sex with you, Marilyn?

I want to have sex with you, Marilyn.

I want to have sex with you, Potter.

Take it easy. I'm not that good.

I won't let anyone do that to me.

I just won't!

Will you get in the car?

Do you think I'm a one-nighter? Do you?

- Will you get in the car before you...

- I am no one-nighter. I'm a teacher!

I'm going for my Master's!

I am no one-nighter!

Will you get in the car

before you catch pneumonia?

And even if I have been,

I won't be that for you.

I left you a note.

- You did not.

- I left you a note.

And what did it say?

I'll see you tonight

and I hope you understand.

How'd you sign it?

Best wishes for your continued success,

Phillip Potter.

It's a joke!

- I'll see you tonight?

- Yeah.

If you can avoid it...

I'd prefer you didn't act crazy anymore.

I think I could love this man.

Oh, God.

I really didn't know

that I was saying that. It just...

came out. I'm really sorry.

Just forget about it, okay?

I just say that to all the boys.

I'm gonna go in now.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

I'm Phil Potter.

I'm gonna be right upfront with you

and tell you where I'm coming from.

Those are college expressions,

aren't they?

I've never taught a class before.

I've never even taken a course

in magazine writing.

As a matter of fact,

I didn't graduate from college.

The next time we meet,

I'd like you to bring a magazine article...

that you find particularly interesting.

And we'll discuss it.

I'm looking forward to getting to know...

each and every one of you individually.

And I'll see you all next Wednesday.

Mr. Potter.

The class isn't over till 10:00.

Good.

That gives me a chance to answer

all your questions for the next...

I should've prepared

more material for today.

From now on, I'll be able to

gauge the time a little better.

Or I'll learn to talk very slowly.

Now, why did you do that?

- Does anybody here like to be hit?

- No.

So what are we gonna do

if we're angry?

- Is it okay to be angry?

- Yes.

Sometimes you're gonna be so angry

you're gonna feel like hitting.

But you know what you can do instead?

You can do this.

Try it.

I want to try it. Everyone, watch me.

Phil...

I have this little girl in school...

I can't stop thinking about.

I'm worried that I'm really screwing

her up. She's really this clingy kid...

and she's always throwing

her arms around your neck or your legs.

I don't know. Maybe I should
