I Was Testing.
You're, Uh...
You Can Call Me Daredevil.
But How'd You Know
My Hand Was There?
Facial Vision.
It Has To Do
With Vibrations
In The Air.
I Can Tell
Where People Are
When They Move.
Like Bat Radar, Huh?
Just One Of
My Many Superpowers.
Want To Shoot Some Hoops?
No, Um--
I Was--
I'm Not That Much
Into Sports.
I'll Talk
To You Later, Ok?
Whatever.
[Bell Rings]

Do You Need
Any Help?
No, I'm All Set.
So, You Gonna Go
To The Game On Friday?
What Do You Say--
Hey, Man, Are You
Blind Or Something?
[Chuckles]
Oops, My Bad.
Hey, Everybody.
Check It Out,
A Talking Side Of Beef.
What's Your Name,
Farm Boy?
Ooh, That's One For John,
One For The Blind Kid.
Yeah, Well, I'd--
But It Looks Like...
[Together]
Somebody Already Has.
You Know That One.
I Haven't Heard
That One Since
Like The Second Grade.
Come On, John Boy,
Park Your Cow
And Take A Shot.
Come On, Let It Go.
[Fingers Snap]
Oh!
Where You Going?
I Gotta Go
Look After The Cows.
Ah, Funny Guy.
Do You Always
Make Friends This Easily?
How Big Was
That Guy Anyway?
Well, Not Terribly Big.
He's Just Captain
Of The Football Team.
Oops.
And The Captain
Of The Wrestling Team.
Major Oops.
You Know, If You'd Agreed
To Walk With Me,
We Could Have Avoided
This Whole Thing.
Maybe I Just Like
Doing Things
The Hard Way.
Please, All Guys Do.
I Know.
I Have 3 Brothers.
So Are You
Jason Newfield?
Jace.
How'd You Guess?
I'm Mary Beth Rice.
I'm Gonna Be One
Of Your Readers.
Why, Cause
It Looks Good On Your
College Application?
For The Cash.
[Chuckles]
Catch You Later.
[Bell Rings]
[Knocks On Door]
Hey! Is This
Mr. Kamen's Spanish 2?
Yes, Unfortunately.
Let Me Show You
To A Seat.
Thank You.
I Guess That Makes
2 Of Us Stuck Here
In Never-Never Land.
[Laughs]
So Where Are
You From, Dude?
Only The Greatest Place
In The Universe,
New York City.
Thank You Very Much.
Am I Supposed
To Be Impressed?
Obviously.
Jason:
Ok...New Kid's Comedy
Crashes And Burns.
Howdy, Partner!
Oh, Boy.
Jace.
Farm Boy.
[All Playing Bach Slowly]
[Up-Tempo Drum Solo]
[Playing Up-Tempo]
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Hey!
Hey, Who's Playing
The Drums?
That's Me, Mr. Wyatt.
Jace Newfield.
Jace Newfield.
[Laughs]
Mr. Newfield,
My Man!
[Laughing]
Wow.
Man, That Is Interesting,
Mr. Newfield.
I Had No Idea
That Bach Had Written
A Drum Solo.
Class, Did You?
I Didn't Know That,
But Then Again,
I Don't Have
Your Vast
Musical Knowledge.
I Was Just--
It Was A Little--
No, I Know. You Weren't
Trying To Show Off.
You Were Trying To Improve
Johann Sebastian Bach.
You Know What's Amazing Is
You Are The First Person
To Be That Brilliant
In Over 300 Years.
Ladies And Gentlemen,
A Big Round Of Applause
For Mr. Jace Newfield!
Yes!
Look, Mr. Wyatt,
It's Not
That Big A Deal.
Mr. Newfield, Please,
Do Not Come Into My Class
And Assume That You Are
Better Than Anybody Else.
I'm Not Assuming
Anything.
Good.
Because If You Want
Special Treatment,
Then You Go
To A Special School.
In My Class, Everyone Is
Regarded As An Equal.
Cool?
I'm Sorry, All Right.
I J--Forget It.
You Wouldn't Understand.
My Guess Is I Understand
Better Than Anybody.
Mr. Wyatt:
Ok...In Case Nobody
Told You,
He's Just Like You.
Whoa.
Talk About The Blind
Leading The Blind.
[All Laughing]
See What You Did There?
That's Funny.
That Was A Joke.
You're A Clown.
If You Want To Juggle
And Sword Swallow,
That's Next-Door.
If You Want To Make Music
And Be Part Of The Ensemble,
That's Right Here.
Are We Clear?
Mr. Wyatt:
Are We Clear?Crystal.
Good.
All Right,
Bach, The Right Way.
And...
[Class Playing Slowly]
[Bell Rings]
Hey, Jace,
Awesome Playing
In There, Man.
Hey, Vince.
How's It Going?
Maybe You Are
A Superhero.
One Meeting,
And You Already
Recognize My Voice?
You Know What They Say.
Once You Lose One Sense,
The Others Kind Of Kick In
To Pick Up The Slack.
So, You're In
The Band, Too, Huh?
Who Do You Think
Backed You
On The Piano?
Hey, Wait, Wait.
Hold On.
Nice.
So, Who's That
Wyatt Guy?
Well...
He's--Hey, Good Night,
Mr. Wyatt.
Hey, Mr. Shu.
Mr. Newfield.
