Why don't I just transfer him

into Mr. Reed's class?

Uh, that's fine with me.

I mean, because

I really care about these kids.

Well, so do I.

I have tried... really.

But there are some kids

who just don't want to learn.

But what did you say over lunch,

Charlie?

"They don't pay me enough

to be a teacher and a parent."

Look, I'm a schoolteacher.

I am not a baby-sitter.

True, true,

but you don't give up.

So the parents

don't always come through.

It's the kids

that suffer in the end...

and I'm sorry, but we've got

some of the grea...

Yo, man, keep looking out

while I break in this locker.

Keep looking out.

What's he looking at?

Greatest kids...

Even if the parents don't

get involved, it's up to us...

Do you have bus fare?

These kids aren't bad...

they're...

These kids are ours.

They are our future.

Now, I believe

that what Mr. Reed has said...

is absolutely correct.

As teachers,

it is our job to help them.

We cannot give up

on our students.

Exactly.

You ought not to have been

messing with them boys.

- Yeah, well, thank you, Ernest.

- Careful, now.

What happened?

Your father

thinks he's Superman.

Nobody's walking over me.

I don't care how many there are.

You know your father...

just pigheaded.

You're back from the hospital

already?

Yeah, that was fast, old man.

How you feeling?

Get your hands off him.

Seat belts... you got to wear

your seat belts.

Man, I don't know

how you did that...

but you're going

to be getting yours.

Punk! You're going

to be getting yours!

Man, he's something.

Are you all right?

Are you using steroids?

No, Dad. That accident I had...

I was hit by a meteor.

A meteor?

And it gave me these powers.

Don't tell anybody about this.

Tell anybody?

The whole neighborhood saw it.

Ma, just make up something.

Just make up something.

I'm late for class.

A little late, ain't you?

Have a good day.

I think we got him.

Home, Mario.

Something's wrong. Look.

I hit him with everything I had!

You saw me, Goldilocks!

Shut up. Shut up, Uzi!

Man, back this thing up.

Back it up right now.

He just...

- Did he...

- Uzi, he just...

Mario, home, please... now.

What am I doing up here?

I'm scared of heights.

- Maurice?

- Yes, sweetheart?

If you'd fix it,

I wouldn't have to ask you that.

Can you drive me?

My car's acting up again.

Yes, sweetheart.

I'll take care of it tomorrow.

You know...

Peeing Tom! Peeping Tom!

I'm going to hurt you, punk!

I know your type!

I got something for you!

I'm not a peeping Tom!

I'm not! I'm not!

Come here!

Pervert! You come back!

I'll be waiting for you,

you pervert!

What in the world

happened to you?

- Did you feel that earthquake?
