It's about Rodney--
Rodney King!
Rodney King, Rodney King!
Rodney King!
"Open your eyes, people,
"for you have been blinded from
the truth long enough.
"There is no Easter Bunny,
"no Tooth Fairy...
"no Santa Claus.
There is no devil."
And there is no God?
No!
They're lies!
Lies that exist because
man has fooled himself
into believing
that he can see the truth!
"When in reality,
man cannot see
that the hand
before his face is his own."
You don't believe in God?
I have my doubts.
Then why are you here?
Why are any of
us here?
What is
the purpose of our being?
I'm talking about here,
at this Catholic school.
Ms. Herman, surely you don't
condone your son's beliefs?
I believe my son is capable
of drawing his own conclusions.
You work in a cafeteria,
do you not?
I manage
a dormitory dining hall,
at the university,
not that I can see
how that's at all relevant.
Then tell me, Ms. Herman,
how would you feel if your
son's misplaced, misguided
heretic beliefs caused a riot
in your dining hall?
There is too a God,
you freak!
"A" pluses across the board.
And that man wants either
a public apology
or an expulsion?
Is that even a choice?
We choose expulsion.
We choose to
fight against the tyranny.
We choose to fight
against it.
Who's my father, Patricia?
Who's my father?
Who your father is
isn't important.
You have me,
more than life itself.
But everyone else has a father.
Why do you want to
be like everyone else?
You're not like
everyone else.
- You're very special.
- You mean I'm a freak.
- You're not a freak.
- You said so yourself.
A freak is someone who's
very special.
I don't remember saying that.
I do, I remember.
I remember everything.
And that is an amazing gift.
You are an amazing young man
blessed with an amazing gift.
Or cursed.
Happy birthday,
Henry, honey.
This is from Grandpa Stan.
Ahh!
Damn it!
Where you going,
Henry, honey?
Stan's.
That's a great idea, let's all
go celebrate together.
Shall we?
Buenas tardes, Enfermera Bruna.
In Brazil. we speak Portuguese,
not Spanish, idiot.
In the US of
we speak English,
mi gatita atractiva.
I gave her an eight.
I never knew you
spoke Spanish.
Well, there's a lot
you don't know about me.
Then again, there's a lot you
don't know about you.
Since when did you
start speaking Spanish?
Everyone that works here is
from south of the border.
Being here as long as I have,
you get used to
the lingo.
Besides, they like it
when you talk Mexican to them.
I get my money back if this
don't work, right?
Stan.
Stan.
Thank you, Stan.
I appreciate you not
pressing charges, Stewart.
Didn't mean to make you look bad
in front of your kid.
But I knew
I knew you.
You know that...
would barely be noticeable
if you were really black.
I am really black.
This ain't
gonna bounce, is it?
You have my word, it's good.
White devil's forked tongue
is a lying tongue.
Gotta go, Geronimo.
What, what,
where you going?
We're "negoci-tating."
I'm gonna see what
I can find out for you.
If the check clears.
But if I do happen to
found somehow,
I didn't
find it out... you dig?
I do dig.
Lesbo, lesbo, lesbo, lesbo,
- lesbo, lesbo, lesbo, lesbo...
- Hey, lesbo.
lesbo, lesbo, lesbo, lesbo,
lesbo, lesbo, lesbo...
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you!
I... hate... you!
There are many people
who believe
that what you
did to your daughter
constitutes child abuse.
I've tried to raise
my daughter
free from gender bias,
free from the...
...stereotypes
that dehumanize people.
Would you like a tissue,
Dr. O'Hara?
No, no.
No-- yes.
Is that it,
is that all of them?
Encontraste.
Encontraste.
Encontrar.
Aste, aste.
Tu.
You.
You found.
May I have that book?
You found my...
Jesus H. Christ.
May I have that book?
I'm done.
You've really read
this whole thing?
I can record what I see
or read.
And I always remember.
Always?
The parental-manipulation
theory.
Posits that by selecting either
heterosexual
or homosexual practices
as the acceptable norm,
parents can promote to their
offspring
a specific
passage of sexuality.
Page two, second paragraph.
"Among other disorders,
the test subject
suffers from..."
"An acute sense of unexplained
dinophobia.
A fear of dizziness that often
results in nausea and vomiting."
Page 142--
- Paragraph four.
- Third paragraph.
The paragraph
at the top of page 142
is carried over from
the previous page.
Slavkin O'Hara.
Henry James Herman.
What are you doing?
Can you help me take out
the trash, Henry?
Here we are.
Home sweet home.
Henry?
Is your daughter home?
Uh...
Audrey's... in school.
Speaking of which,
shouldn't you be
in school as well?
I got expelled.
Expelled?
For what?
Heresy.
If a bullet is fired straight up
into the sky,
it will slow down, stop,
then fall to
earth again--
accelerating until it reaches
a point
where its weight equals
the resistance of the air.
Brian.
I didn't do nothing.
Get your butt to
the principal's office.
Immediately!
What's the problem
with you people?
Oh, really?
And what might be that problem
be with my people?
Unlike where
you come from, Ms. Abda.
I was born here, Brian.
Real Americans believe in
innocence until proven guilty
and you have no proof that
I did anything wrong.
- Audrey?
- Yes, Ms. Abda?
( coughing )
Lesbo.
I am not a lesbo!
Are you okay?
Today's no worse than the living
hell that is my daily existence.
Fire.
Fire, I need fire.
Feel better now,
Dr. O'Hara?
No.
Not really.
Why were you
a sperm donor?
Excuse me?
You wrote in your book
that you donated sperm.
Why?
I didn't know
what else to do with it?
So I checked off the box.
It was a precautionary
measure.
A precaution against what?
I have testicular cancer?
Yes.
Cancer of the...
testicles.
Tell me, Dr. O'Hara.
Do you and...
Alice plan on having
any more children?
Yes, Mrs. O'Hara
and I certainly do.
Then may I suggest you seriously
consider sperm banking.
Sperm banking?
I myself am
a sperm donor.
Did you have testicular cancer?
Thank God, no.
No, no, no.
Some people donate blood,
I donate semens.
Why?
Not?
These are release form.
Pretty standard stuff
really, no biggie.
Now should your
fertility be unaffected
by the chemotherapy,
then all of your sperms shall be
properly disposed of.
Unless...
Unless?
You consent to have it donated
by checking off that box.
Little box at the bottom.
Little teeny box.
The process is
completely anonymous
and you will be monetarily
compensated.
Money's not the issue.
Then consider it a means of
fulfilling
your biological imperative.
I can only imagine
the profound love
pouring out of a mother's heart
when she first embraces
her newborn child.
A JOY that you...
