that would be convenient to you.

I shall make myself available.

BRAINARD:

Psst!

DAGGETT:

However, Mr. Hawk...

Don't be angry. I'm sorry

I missed the wedding again.

Look, I couldn't help it.

DAGGETT:
...of your loan

is in all our best interests.

Go.

Get out of here.

Don't want to see you.

I was working in the laboratory

and had an explosion.

Go.

Get out of here.

I do not want to see you.

I hit my head.

I fell on the floor.

I was knocked out.

Knocked out.

DAGGETT:

I know your heart is with us.

Go. Get out.

Look, the most wonderful

thing happened.

Wait till you hear.

Look.

Flubber.

DAGGETT:
I shall make myself

available at any time.

Flubber. Flubber.

DAGGETT:

...of the greatest importance.

No, make that "of the most

supreme importance."

BRAINARD:

Flubber.

Flubber. Flubber.

Flubber. Flubber.

Flubber. Watch.

Oh. Good morning, sir.

I'd like to speak to

Miss Carlisle, if I may.

Betsy, I -- Oh, sir,

I just wanted to tell her

that I'm sorry

I missed the wedding.

I have the most wonderful thing

to tell you.

The most wonderful thing

you can tell me is "goodbye."

In which I heartily concur.

This way.

Just a minute.

If you'd give me a chance,

she'd forgive me.

Anything you say

would be superfluous.

Kindly take your ball and go.

Daggett!

Why, Mr. Hawk.

What a pleasant surprise.

I want a word with you.

I, too, have been wanting

to chat about our loan.

-That'll be all, Brainard.

-Brainard!

Is this the one

you call "Neddy the Nut"?

Yeah, that's right, Pop.

Do you know that this man

flunked my boy?

No, Mr. Hawk.

I welcome this opportunity.

If the teacher and the parent

of the backward student --

Backward?

May I remind you it was Hawk

brains that founded this town?

Hawk brains that built it?

And you have the gall

to say that my boy,

who proudly bears

the name of Hawk, is backward?

I'd just as soon forget --

Will you shut up when I talk?

I wish I could show you

his examination paper.

Not only did he miss

every answer,

he misspelled

the name of the college.

Do you mind?

I'd like to discuss the matter

alone with Mr. Hawk.

ALONZ O:

This means my boy can't play

in the big game tonight

against Rutland.

Where's your school spirit?

Flunking your star player.

I don't think this is a place to

lend a half a million dollars.

We have principles

here at Medfield.

I offered to help Biff.

A makeup exam.

But he couldn't be bothered.

So he's ineligible.

None of your vague promises

about lending money

is going to change that.

Mr. Hawk has already loaned the

money. The school is grateful.

Professor, I rejoice

in your sense of ethics.

But do you mind terribly
