I misplaced my key.
Sure. No problem.
Something just came in today, I think.
Thank you.
Booya! The China express has arrived.
That's not anything like the language.
I mean I just guessed.
Next customer please.
What mysteries have you
to say for yourself today,
Tai-Yu, my peaceful rain?
E-wo, hello, Bernard. I hope you nice.
I am now, Tai-Yu. I am now.
What am I supposed to do, Mom?
Sweetie, on 'Law & Order',
we take real stories
from actual headlines,
if that has taught me anything,
it has taught me that
sometimes laws are wrong
and they are gonna stay
wrong until someone brave
enough comes along to change them.
If Middle East turbulence
continues as most Washington
think-tanks predict,
will save taxpayers
an exuberant amount of money.
Thank you for your input.
So,
we'll look into green bus companies.
Furthermore,
I'd like to propose integrating
a "Bikes and Books program"
in which students are loaned bicycles
by the school district for
their educational commute.
I thank you for your time.
Any other new business?
- Yes.
- Please come forward young lady.
Your name please.
Hi, my name is Veronica Krauss,
LHS Junior Class President.
I would like to propose
the immediate abolishment
of high school class ranking.
Less than 35% of high
schools in the country
currently use a ranking system.
That's down 22% over the last decade.
And Livingston is in
the shrinking minority
of schools left in the
nation who rank students.
And I believe
This crime wave is an epidemic.
Before you continue, Mrs. Krauss,
I should point out that we
debated this topic last year and
the board voted 3 to 2 in
favor of keeping class rank.
The board was comprised of
the same 5 members,
so I'm afraid it's a lost cause,
unless someone has
changed their minds.
Has anyone changed their minds?
I'm sorry, Ms. Krauss.
It seems as if like class rank
is hereto stay.
Is there any other new business?
Ah, we need to consider
setting a date, this spring,
for the board of education election.
What we need to consider,
are bids on the refinishing of the
of the boardroom door,
if Bernard is gonna keep banging
his bicycle into it.
How was your meeting?
It was okay.
Okay with a question mark?
Okay with a question mark.
- Honey, what?
- Signal please.
Ok. slow down.
Hi, Bernard. I was at
the school board meeting
and I saw what happened to your bike.
Do you want a ride home?
I appreciate the offer.
However, I must decline as
I've vowed to keep my carbon
footprint to a minimum.
This is a hybrid.
Bernard this is my mom.
Mom this is Bernard Flannigan.
Nice to meet you.
The feeling is mutual.
You've raised an excellent
class president.
Thank you. I'm very proud of her.
Where do you live, Bernard?
On Long Acre Drive.
The street behind Pepperidge Farms.
Blinkers before we merge into traffic.
There you go.
Is it that you're a junior and
already have a driver's license?
Were you held back a grade?
No, I only have my learners permit.
That is the type of information
one should reveal before
offering a ride.
Don't worry, I'm a good driver.
Slow down.
Do you go to a lot of board of Ed.
Meetings?
I have not missed one since 2007.
What? You must have been a child.
I started attending board
meetings when I was 8 years old.
My grandmother instilled in me
the importance of education.
My house is up here on the left.
When was the last time
you cut your grass?
Allowing nature to take
it's course as a practice
is the world needs to embrace.
A thousand thank you's for the ride.
Of course.
What an interesting person.
Is he smart?
I'm not sure what he is?
How come I always
gotta ride in the back?
I'm sorry, Grandpa,
but your days of piloting
the Yellow Submarine have passed.
I don't have bike lanes,
you gotta have bike lanes.
I'm currently working on that agenda.
Good afternoon Bernard.
I have brought you a letter
urging all Livingstonites
to take the streets in support
of our Guatemalan cousins'
commuting program.
Well I'll see if can find space
for it on the op-ed page.
Would your Grandfather
like something to drink?
Grandpa, would you like a refreshment?
I believe the Editor-In-Chief
is concerned you may
suffer a stroke.
No thank you ma'am.
No thank you.
What's he reading?
What are you reading?
'Rome Before the Ruins'
Han Amara
I love Rome.
Should've seen it
before it was ruined.
Haha.
Are there any more questions
lean assist you with?
No. I don't think so.
Then I bid you a good day.
Good day Bernard.
Bernard door bell.
Bernard.
We don't want girl scout cookies.
Um.
Actually, it's a cake and it's free.
Free? Why? What's in it?
Chocolate chip swirl with walnuts.
Walnuts?
My wife was a wonderful baker.
She used to make a cake
just like that.
She always used butter cream frosting.
Needs more walnuts.
Got it.
Chi-Na New Year arr-ive.
Year of the red fire monkey.
Bernard... the baker.
Says she knows you.
Hi. Sorry to just drop by like this.
Please come in and
remove your footwear.
May I offer you a glass
lactose-free milk?
I'm ok.
This actually is not a social visit.
I'm hereto propose an idea to you.
May I...
take a seat?
I'd like you to run for
the Livingston board
of education.
Excuse me?
Both Ms. Parikh and Mr. Del Tufo
are running unopposed for
the re-election this May.
And I'm sure you know
their policies are well
adrift from center
but you could be
springboard for new ideas.
I mean wouldn't you
like to see change?
I'm not sure if you're aware,
Veronica, but I'm only sixteen
years of age.
No, that's ok.
There's no age minimum
to be a board member.
I checked the bylaws.
May I ask why you don't run yourself?
You're the president of our
class therefore clearly
an adept politician.
The board of education
is a four year commitment
and if I won,
I couldn't go away to college.
I see.
So if I won, I couldn't
go away to college either?
You were planning on
going away to college?
The thought had crossed my mind, yes.
Of course it had.
What if you... um took a year off?
Studies show that students
who take a gap year
between high school and college
do even better when
they return to school
if I was required to
stay in New Jersey,
I could not only pursue
higher education atone
of the Garden State's
fine schools but also
continue to look after my grandfather.
Exactly.
Plus you'd make your grandma proud.
I mean you did say
she instilled in you
the importance of education... right?
What did the girl want?
She asks me to run for
the board of education.
Haha... and?
And...
I'm going to heed the call
You're sure?
No.
Good. That's the correct answer.
Hello sir. How are you today?
O.k. first order of business.
We need to submit a
petition with over a 200
signatures to city council.
My circle of acquaintances is
slightly under that threshold.
Well, that's why you
have a campaign manager.
