I'm interested in your title.

I was wondering how you came to choose it.

Erm, it's about how... how people have to change things.

What kind of things? Sit down.

What kind of things?

The Government, you know.

What would you change about the Government?

Me? Erm, lots of things.

Such as?

Such as...

Such as how the word is spelt, for example.

What?

Judging by your essay, it seems you hope to change the spelling of "government", "democracy"...

and "Richard Miltown Nixon".

So, I'm not too good at spellings.

I see that, but if you're going to plagiarise, you might at least show the courtesy of...

- What are you talking about?

- Don't! Who wrote this? Who?

Bill Garfield.

Never heard of him.

He's at Colombia.

Oh, so you're a high-class cheat.

I'm not a cheat...

You are!

I hate writing. It sucks!

Adisca alt disceda.

It's a waste of time! It's like digging those shitty holes!

I'll write you a stinkin' essay!

"Why Spiderman sucks worse than the Silver Surfer!" Very good.

Are you happy now? Can I go?

You invited yourself.

Tonight, I want you to look up ten alternatives for the slang "to suck"

Sh*t!

And find me the Latin equivalent of your other favourite descriptive.

Mickey!

I gotta go.

# If you're born a woman

# You're born to be hurt

# You're born to be stepped on

# Lied to, cheated on and treated like dirt. #

I followed you this morning.

You tell, and you're dead.

I'm not gonna tell anybody.

I'm not gonna tell anybody IF...

What? If what?

You tell me all about him. What were you doing there?

You swear. Swear by Thor.

- I did what you said. I got a tutor.

- The Freak's a teacher? Come on!

- I think he is.

- What does he teach?

He makes me dig holes.

You liar! I'm gonna tell Mom, and she'll never let you near him again!

Keep your mouth shut!

OK! Get off, you maniac!

What's he like? Do you like him? Does he like you?

He hates everybody. I mean, look at him.

Sometimes I think I'm gonna be sick, just watching him.

Let me come with you. Please!

Come on, Chuck.

Lunatic!

Hello?

Mr McLeod?

Sir?

Hey, Pukehead! You home?!

Guess not.

Porno.

Take it easy. OK.

Lie down.

I'll be right back, fella. OK?

Hey, when did you get back?

I went for a walk when I finished my homework.

Jeez, what happened to him?

He encountered a porcupine.

Excrementum!

Stiltus puer.

What? What does that mean?

"The foolish boy"... digs a three-foot hole.

If we assume that he has dug his cube properly...

what will be the volume if he fills up half of it?

Now, stiltus puer wants to erect a pole at the centre of his circle.

But how does he find that centre?

Think, Norstadt, reason.

No? Write this down.

Draw a circle. A,B,C.
