MALLOY:
Now, about this court-case thing.

Well, all I know is that now

they're gonna take depositions here.

So, we have to change

our strategy on that point.

What strategy?

Remember, whatever they don't find out

can't hurt us.

- Did anybody really vote for this guy?

- I know.

Alex, please, I wanna hear this.

I don't care

what anybody else says about this,

we're gonna stick together with the union.

I get the feeling I interrupted something.

Just Malloy, addressing the Reichstag.

Oh, say, Alex. Remember this student

you once had about 10 or 12 years ago?

- Her name is Lisa Hammond.

- Lisa Hammond?

Oh, yeah. Bright kid. Great ass.

Yes. Well, nothing's changed.

Really? She's here?

Yeah.

But get this, she's working for the law firm

that's handling the Calvin case.

She's taking depositions here.

Starting tomorrow.

In fact, she's taking your deposition

in two and a half weeks.

I knew we should have flunked her.

You know what you're gonna say?

You're not gonna betray old JFK, are you?

Oh, come on, for Christ's sake, Roger.

That'd be like shitting on the Peace Corps.

You haven't lived till you see them

try to serve me with a subpoena.

- Oh, here.

- What's this?

Well, I tell you, Alex. You heard about

Ditto and Theresa Bloom, right?

- Yeah, which version?

- Yeah.

With our psychologist on temporary

leave and no money to replace her,

I gotta have somebody to take over

the counseling chores.

Me? Why me?

- Because you're sensitive.

- Oh, that's bullshit.

- You're compassionate.

- Bullshit, Roger.

- You're caring.

- Bullshit.

You've got a free period.

Well, so does everybody else in here.

And the teachers in the next period

are gonna have a free period too,

for Christ's sake.

And they'll be drafted too.

Alex, we have a lot

of misunderstood youth in this place.

Now, everybody's got to pitch in.

Starting with you.

- How many kids is this?

- One.

- One?

- Name's Eddie Pilikian.

He and his parents are gonna be

at the counseling office

in about 10 minutes.

- All right.

- Now, I know you'll do well.

- One kid?

- Yeah.

WOMAN:
All right.

Sit. Right there. Right there.

Oh, Mr. Rubell!

Superintendent Burke is in

the conference room with Principal Horn.

Great.

I mean, just what the hell

are you guys running here,

a goddamn zoo?

I'm in the middle

of a fund-raising breakfast

and I'm informed

that your school psychologist

has flipped out in the middle

of your goddamn office.

And then I get here and I find out

there has been a stabbing.

And if that's not enough, one of your kids

tries to eat one of your

goddamn teachers.

Mr. Rubell, what the hell do you call that?

Monday.

Look, Dr. Burke, whatever happens here,
