What? What did she say?

- I didn't hear that.

- No bother. We'll come to you.

Hurry up, kids. Your father wants to talk.

- What are they doing?

- Coming to talk.

Why?

- Joy Miller!

- Oh, sit.

It's just as easy to move five people

as it is one.

There we go.

It was so cute when I woke up

and all the kids were sitting on my bed.

What? Is this true?

Er, no. Uh-uh.

- You said they were on your bed.

- No.

I said "if" they were sitting on the bed,

it would've been cute,

but highly inappropriate.

What can you get for a place

like this in this neighbourhood?

Well, just for curiosity's sake,

how did it work with your last teacher?

We read aloud from our textbooks.

- What'd she do?

- She watched.

Sometimes she slept.

- And she still got paid?

- Of course.

If it ain't broken...

Let's see what we're gonna read today.

OK. World His...

...tory.

Here's your father! His Excellency,

President-for-life Pochenko.

- All right, Karl, you begin.

- In the winter of 1991,

President Pochenko led

Operation Desert Storm,

resulting in a glorious

victory for Slovetzia.

What? Lemme see that.

One minute, here.

Go figure.

OK, if the person that's in office

is called the president,

what do we call the person

that runs against him?

- Loser?

- Traitor?

- Missing?

- No. The challenger!

In a democracy you hold free election.

- Isn't this a free country?

- Lunch. Please. Now. Go. Thank you.

What are you doing?

Ira, I'm sorry. I cannot stand here and

teach these children lies. I can't do it.

Then, what are you going to teach them?

Things.

Therefore, if you've earned

18,640 frequent flyer miles,

but it takes 20,000 miles

to go from Miami to Scottsdale,

how many flights must you take

to make up the difference?

- Karl.

- One-way, New York to Boca Raton?

That's right.

Recess! Fifteen minutes. Put on your

sunblocks, because "rays today..."

- "...raisins tomorrow."

- Fab.

- Miss Miller?

- Yeah, honey?

- May I ask you something?

- Sure.

You are a woman of the Western world.

- Sophisticated, promiscuous...

- Hey!

My father won't let me date,

and I want to have sex.

Sex, sex and more sex.

Well, that might be the reason

he won't let you date.

English isn't your first language.

What do you mean by "sex"?

Oh, you know... sex!

Holding hands, eating ice cream...

You've described the before and after

events, but we'll talk about that later.

- Miss Miller, I'm in love.

- Oh, sweetie, that's wonderful.

But my marriage is already

prearranged to someone else.

- What?

- I hate him.

He's a stupid prince with stupid castles

and stupid boats.

Got a picture?

With all his money,

he could get that fixed.
