To Sir, with Love II Page #5

---

Yeah? Well, maybe it's a trap | if you don't got it, but I got it.

I'd be a damn fool | if I acted like I didn't.

That's who I am, Mr. Thackeray. Sir.

I can't believe you just said that. | This is stupid.

Why is it stupid, Mr. Cameli?

This is great if you're somebody. | If you're nobody, what's the point?

Is there such a thing | as being nobody?

Yes, there is. | It's your own damn fault.

You let everybody push you around. | Who pushes him around?

Everybody. | You?

Yeah. Me. Everybody.

It don't make him nobody. | Everybody's somebody.

Maybe he's got better things to do | than fighting a bunch of idiots.

The only nobody is people that beat | up on people that ain't fighting back.

Does this b*tch ever make any sense | in her whole life?

That's it. Let's get out of here. | We'll pick this up tomorrow.

Just a minute. | Yeah, what?

Go to the nurse | and have that looked at.

Stay out of my brother's face, | man. Is that hard?

At the moment it is. | You listen to me, okay?

I been listening to you | since you got here.

I understand this deep, caring line | of crap that you're handing us.

I ain't buying that. | Neither's my brother.

The sooner you figure that out, | less chance you got of getting hurt.

Let's go. I told you | they was going to let me go.

You wanted to see me? | You heard about the gang incident.

An atrocity on one side has to be | answered by an atrocity on the other.

Who was involved? | Wilsie and his brother Arch.

They're in your class. I've got | to get an experienced teacher.

Experienced? I have 28 years! | In London, and you're retired.

I need to get somebody in there | who knows what these kids are like.

Someone who's made up his mind | without meeting them?

It's not experience. It's prejudice. | You know me better than that.

The minute those kids were put in | H Section, their futures were closed.

That's prejudice.

They don't look bright and shiny | like winners, so you let them lose.

That's prejudice!

I'm trying to open up their minds, | Horace,

but what good is that | if your mind is already closed?

The battle was against segregation | at restaurants in the South.

The principle those people used | was called " passive resistance. "

When people poured coffee and mustard | and ketchup on them, they just sat.

Sometimes not fighting back | can be a powerful answer.

I would have clocked them. | It's dumb letting people do that.

They won.

If Stan don't want to fight back, | he don't have to.

Is that it? Possessive whatever? | Passive resistance.

I just don't want to...

Yeah. It is. That's what it is.

Mr. Cameli seems to have | a pretty good sense of who he is.
