The Emperor's Club Page #6

Hey, Logan.|How you doin'?

Brewster!

Mr. Bell,...

would you please come up to|the front of the classroom?

Would you mind finishing|this diagram for me?

Octavian was named what?

A common wood beetle on|the floor of this classroom...

would know the answer|to that question.

Emperor?|- Yes!

Can you, please, name any|ofthe subsequent emperors...

whom we've been discussing?

There were 41.|- I only know seven.

Very well.

Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy,

Dopey...

Seriously, though,|can you in fact...

name any of the emperors?|- I know four.

Very well.|- John, Paul, Ringo and...

George.|- Mr. Bell.

A word of warning.|As the great wit Aristophanes once wrote...

roughly translated...|"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown,

"ignorance can be educated|and drunkenness sobered,

"but stupid...

lasts forever."

Class, if you please,|chronologically...

Tiberius, Caligula,|Claudius, Nero,...

Galba, Otho,...

Vitellius, Vespasian,...

Titus, Domitian,...

Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian,...

Antonius Pius, Marcus Aurelius,...

Commodus, Pertinax...|- Thank you. That will do.

Please take your seat, Mr. Bell.

Come in.

Mr. Bell.|Mr. Hundert.

Please, have a seat.

Only child?

Please be seated, Mr. Bell.

Do you know why you're here?

"Student of the day."

I gave you "1" for spelling|your name correctly.

Mr. Bell,

I don't know what you think you're|doing at Saint Benedict's,...

but this is unacceptable work.

You must apply yourself...|- You're not married, are you, sir?

No. I am not.

That's why you like|putting us all in togas, right?

I've made arrangements|to meet with your father.

Is there anything|you'd like me to say to him?

Tell him I said hello.

Well, how are you?|Good to see you.

And you, sir.|Give me just a second.

Who's that?|Professor, come on in.

Kathleen, hold all my calls.|Thank you, Michael.

Sit down, please.

Cubans.

Don't tell the A.T.F.

No. Not for me. Thanks.|- You're sure?

Oh, yes, sir.|Don't know what you're missin'.

Senator... Oh, here.|You'll enjoy this.

This was given to me by one of|my constituents this morning.

Take a look at that.|- Senator Bell's office.

Hold it! Don't be|too fast there, partner.

Quarter roll.

Here. Go on.|That was, uh...

Supposedly belonged to the coachman|of Robert E. Lee. Really?

Well, so he said.

You're a history buff,|aren't ya?

In a manner|of speaking, sir. Yes.

Well, take that.|That's yours.

Oh, no. I couldn't.|Oh, take the damn thing!

It's a gift. For all you've done|for my son, Sedgewick.

Thank you.

So, to what|do I owe this honor?

It's your son, Senator.

Oh, Christ.|What the devil's he done now?

Sedgewick is clearly an intelligent boy,|but, sir, he's not applying himself.
