Bad Teacher Page #7

Synopsis: When her wealthy fiancé breaks it off, gold digger Elizabeth Halsey returns to middle school: she's an awful teacher but wants to save for breast-implant surgery. She brightens when Scott, a new teacher, turns out to be rich, and she stops showing films and sleeping in class when told there's a bonus for the teacher whose class scores highest on the state exam. Her competition for Scott and the bonus is cheery and tightly wound Amy. Amy digs for dirt on Elizabeth who cheats her way toward Scott's bed and the money. Honesty with students seems to be her only skill. She ignores Russell, a droll gym teacher, who looks on. Will she succeed with Scott and get those new breasts?

- I don't know what you're talking about?

Really? Cause i couldn't help but

notice that you're not wearing a bra

And those...

Those kids are there playing with it

Much people don't wear bras.

- Definitely. Much teachers.

Well if you must know, i was helping

a student through a tough time

I'm going through such a tough time.

Can I have your panties?

- I'm not wearing any..

Amy, what are you doing here?

- Scott, talk to the hand.

Amy?

- I know ...

Ev-ery-thing.

Carl Halabi.

The state test.

The blating disregard for the school syllabus

And lets not forget..

the sleeping with my boyfriend

Scott, your phone accidentally

called me last night

I can't believe you

let her take advantage of you like that

You are too trusting

- I am. I didn't know what was happening

I hope you haven't spent that bonus check

on anything because you're about to give it back

And then some...

jail time..Jail time!

Did you ever think that maybe ...

- Save it doll face you can explain it all tomorrow to the principal

And the superintendent.

when you got your meeting with the principal

and the superintendent tomorrow.. at the meeting ...

I need you to go to this guy's office

and scare the sh*t out of him

Tell me my mission again

Hand him the envelope.

- I'm gonna need a couple bucks for gas

And a couple bucks for snacks

Oh my God!

Sir?

Oh my God, are you okay?

- I got f***ed up my knee.

Easy

Easy does it, easy...

You need an ambulance?

- Ambulance is not necessary.

I walking on

- Walking on is number 1 worst thing you should probably do

Please don't touch my mirror.

Please sir? What the ff?? What the f***, who does that?

- I'm a friend of Marjorie's

Oh! Friend of Marjorie?

Well get then...F*** you man

Huh f*** you..f***...You like that?

- Stop kicking it..You stop f***ing kicking it

F*** your scooter and f*** Marjorie.

She drugged me and she stole from me.. then she's going down

Let me think.

Take it.

and open up..open up

Ya, not bad...for a camera phone Huh??

You can keep those too -F***!

And i was never here.

You hear me? -F***

Don't...Stop f***ing with my car.

They're ready for you.

Learning is fun-tastic.

- What did you say to me?

Desk?

Yea, I forgot that was there.

Such a dick sometimes

This is very very bad, Elizabeth

- Incredibly very bad, Elizabeth

..and observe it

Amy, you said you wouldn't speak

Bring him in

Mr. Halabi, thank you for your time.

- Most welcome.

I guess i should begin by saying that my

statement from earlier in the week was not true

What part of it, exactly?

All of it..

Pretty much

I've never seen this woman before in my life

Baloney

- You seem..very certain a couple of days ago?

I did, because ...umm...

I'm a casual drug user

That's my thing, and everybody

knows it. so..

That explains me, making

absolutely no sense

Thank you.

You realise it..if we found out you're lying,

You're gonna lose your job.

Plus jail time

Yes i understand. I just don't want to see

an innocent teacher get hurt

Thank you, sir.

- I don't want to see anybody get hurt

What the hell was that?

- So, there you go. I guess that explains everything

Retest!!

Retest! Retest!

Damn it! Squirrel.. I am not going

to have a repeat of 2008!

Sit your ass down!

A retest on? C'mon

Do we really wanna tell our

young people ...

...that if they study, sacrifice ...

...and achieve the highest scores

in the state...

...that they're rewarded

with suspicion?

I don't!

I find these kind of accusations troubling

And quite frankly, reckless.

I worked my ass off for this school.

And I know I am not perfect.

But show me the perfect teacher.

You can't.

There are even teachers in

this very school who use drugs.

They do, they do use drugs

- They do -They do -They do

Wally, do you remember how I told you,

there are teachers here who use and abuse drugs?

God damn it!

And I'm hearing about this now?

Where is it Axle?

Where's it boy?

No, no, no that's my class.

Axle's barking at the wrong tree there

Ma'am! Please don't touch the dog.

- Your dog is mistaken

We've got desk..

- He's not gonna find anything in here.

Clean!

- Haa! I told you

Maybe there's a false bottom.

That is not mine.

This...ss thiszzz..This isin't even my desk, it's hers!

Don't worry Amy..

We'll get you the help you need.

You monster!!

Wow wooo woo wow Amy....Calm down, Amy.

- F***ing damn it! What the f***!?

I stole her desk.

You can check my urine.

Check it

Check my urine.

Well its been another great year

here at JAMS

With summer round the corner, it's time to say

goodbye not only to another school year..

...but also to one of our own.

Amy Squirrel, after six short years,

Amy is transferring out of the district

Speech, speech

- Well..

Aaah! Wally thank you for those kind words,

and thank you all

My decision that i made myself to leave

was super difficult.

But when the superintendent personally ask you to work

at one of the worst school in the state?

Well...you say 'YES'

Boy, i am looking forward to bringing

my brand of genie energy..

..to those under priviledge students

at Malcolm X high school.

Thank you.

Hey, Elizabeth..Listen, since Amy's transferring,

maybe the two of us can start over

Oh, hey there..Scott Delacorte. And you are?

- Leaving.

- Elizabeth?

- Here.

- Sign my yearbook.

- Hold my ball sack

I'll write my number down

just in case you need a lift...

..after the surgery.

For second, an extra set of hands to make sure

the implants are settling properly

Thanks

Hey, aah!..You're not gonna teach

again next year, are you?

I don't know..

It's the only thing i'm good at

I'm just saying maybe.. to consider doing

something else ... like anything else

Like any othe job ... in the entire world

You know? The two of us...

It's never gonna happen.

- Clearly?

- How would that even work?

Where do you even live? In some weird

apartment with some creepy roommate?

No,..My creepy roommate moved out.

So now its just..just me ..and the dogs

How many dogs do you have?

- Four.

Four dogs?

- Four Dobermans

Any family money?

- Yea, you bet?

We're talking like three figures..

Almost 700 bucks

So, basically, if i was gonna go out with you,

I would be making the conscious choice...

..to be dating a Gym Teacher

who lives in a shack with four dogs?

I prefer to think of it as two people

with amazing bodies...

...sharing those bodies with each other

Giving each other the gift of these bodies

Anyway, actually none of these really matters

Umm...I sort of ..started seeing somebody

Really that's..Congratulations

I didn't..I didn't realise that so....

- Those stupid...so..

- I'm just f***ing with you

Guess i deserve that one..?

- Yea, you must certainly did

I think it's about time you realize,

that the whole world's just...

See you around Gym teacher.

Hey..

Let's do that again.

THREE MONTHS LATER.

Hey, Elizabeth.

- Hey Lynn, how was your summer?

Oh it was great. I went to the zoo
