...and your methodology is...

questionable at best.

However...

...the true purpose of education

is to stimulate the creativity...

...and the passions

of the student body.

And in that regard

you have certainly succeeded.

This board does not

reject innovation...

...but it must be

watched carefully.

Therefore...

...the South Harmon

Institute of Technology...

...will be granted a one-year

probationary period...

...in which to continue

its experimental programs.

Don't be so quick to judge

us by the way we look.

Congratulations.

Mr. Gaines?

Trombone.

What?

I wanted to play

jazz trombone.

It's never too late, sir.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I don't know. There were just

a lot of things in my life...

...that I thought were real

that ended up being fake.

So, why can't the opposite

be true?

This is not your orientation.

This is your disorientation.

You have been orientated

for years.

Don't come up to me, go

"Where am I gonna get that?"

I'm not interested!

You figure it out.

I only wanted big things for you, Bartleby.

I'd say this is pretty big.

Thanks, Dad.

Ah!

Thanks, Pop.

Okay, honey, I want you

to have a good semester.

Okay, I will. I love you.

Lizzie, up top.

Wasn't enthusiastic,

but I'll take it.

And I appreciate the smile.

Schrads! Hey, no time for

chit-chat, my friend.

I'm teaching "Skepticism 401."

Sha-mon!

At South Harmon,

we like to begin each semester...

...by clearing our minds

and doing some deep breathing.

I got 85 pork tenderloins with

balsamic vinegar demiglaze. Ka-blam!

Eddie, we gotta pack these

paninis for Rory's nature walk.

Pronto!

And someone get a rabbi down

here to bless this chicken.

Tomorrow we're gonna

go kosher.

South Harmon actually

allowed me the opportunity...

...to rediscover my passion

for the arts.

So I urge you guys to do the

same. Let it come from the heart.

Let it come from inside. And...

And let the art speak for itself.

You agree?

Watch... Watch the tip.

Excuse me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

If you're gonna take my picture,

you gotta take it from my good side.

Um, so there wouldn't

happen to be anybody around...

...that could show me to my

new dorm room, would there?

As fate would have it, I recall

your room being right next to mine.

Really? They're not adjoining

though, right?

Oh, no, no, no. That would

be totally unacceptable.

And do me a favor.

Enjoy your time here.

You got four years, these are

the best years of your life.

And then, you're.

I told you.
