Okay, Abrams.
Allende.
Bernstein.
Brown.
Come on, come on.
Attboy, Todd
Buckley.
Cohen.
Garcia.
Paul.
Take a seat, Lisa.
I just wanted to take a minute
to talk to you about your test.
Sure.
Now, I know you
had a little help.
Well, I mean, I didn't cheat,
if that's what you mean.
I'm just saying I know
you had a little help.
A lot of people did.
Well, be that
as it may...
I mean, I'll take it
over again if you want,
but, like, what
would be the point?
It's not like I'm
ever gonna actually
need to know this
stuff in my daily life.
Well, that's just not
necessarily true, Lisa.
Haven't you ever developed
an interest in something
that you didn't
initially think
you were gonna develop
an interest in?
Um...
No, not really.
Haven't you ever...
Haven't you ever been put
in a new situation
and found that after
overcoming its difficulties,
you had developed
a new set of skills
and new experiences
along the way?
No, I really haven't.
Okay.
Anyway, it was open-book.
So, what's the difference
between using a book
and, like, I don't know,
using somebody else's mind
who's really
good at math?
I mean, it's not like this person
did the whole test for me.
Oh, no?
No, I did some of it.
Well, next time I'd appreciate
it if you did it all.
Okay?
You are so fair.
What did he
say to you?
Nothing.
Mr. Aaron and I have an understanding
about my math problem.
So the President of the
United States, William B. McKinley,
authorizes the use of private
detectives to break the strike
and they went out there
and shot 'em down!
Just like they
did in Virginia,
just like they
did in Pennsylvania.
Because they didn't care!
They did not care!
And that's basically it.
That's basically
all there is to say.
All right? Go ahead.
- Becky.
- Well...
Mr. Klein! I mean,
was there ever, like,
a good president of
the United States?
I don't
know, Becky.
I think that's
a good question.
What do you think?
You. Lionel.
What do you think?
Did we ever have
a good president?
Um... I don't know.
I guess most of them have just
been, like, totally corrupt.
Lisa?
Can I just say that I'm not
necessarily, like, a big fan
of all the presidents
of the United States,
especially the current one.
necessarily all that useful
to categorize every president
as universally corrupt,
because that just seems
really general to me.
Especially if you're gonna
judge them by the standard
of whatever they're supposed
to traditionally be like
in some mythical
version of America
that probably never
existed to begin with.
Lisa has raised
a salient point.
Tell him to be polite, tell
him to answer the questions,
and I'll arrange for his bail
in the morning. Yes.
Hey,
how'd you do?
Hey, Darren. It was fine.
Thank you so much.
So he didn't give you a
hard time or anything?
Well, he knows
I'm not planning
to go into mathematics
or anything.
He was totally
cool about it.
He's so cool.
Oh, yeah, everybody
loves Mr. Aaron.
What's that supposed
to mean?
Nothing. The man is
very lovable.
What are you doing now?
I was gonna go
look for a cowboy hat.
Why?
Because my dad is supposed to
take me and my brother
to this ranch in New Mexico
to go horseback riding
and I don't think
it would be right
to appear on horseback
in New Mexico
without the appropriate
equestrian paraphernalia, Darren.
You wouldn't
understand these things.
That is a
definite possibility.
Anyway, thanks again.
Well, before you venture forth on your
bizarre quest for a cowboy hat...
Yes, Darren?
What are you up to later?
Like tonight.
I don't know.
You wanna go to a movie?
What, you mean,
like on a date?
No, not on a date,
just go to a movie.
I don't know if
it's a f***ing date!
All right. Calm down.
What do you wanna see?
I don't know, I don't
even know what's playing.
I don't know
if it's a date.
hate the f***ing' movies anyway.
They're just bullshit.
They're all bullshit!
Okay, take it easy. I'm sorry.
I was just asking!
What if it was
a date, anyway?
Would that be
so horrendous?
Oh, my God.
Are you like...
Are you asking me out?
I don't know.
Are you?
Yeah. I mean...
I feel like we're
already really close...
Oh, my God.
...and I think we'd
be a really good match.
Well, I would definitely
Absolutely.
Give it some thought.
Okay. I will.
Okay.
Why do you look
like that?
Like what?
What do you want from me?
Not a thing!
AH right. I'll see
you later.
All right.
Hello!
Hi.
Is Mom home?
She went to the store.
Hey!
What are you
doing tonight?
to go to the movies with him.
Oh, my God.
What's that about?
I have no idea.
Becky, there is
not a cowboy hat
to be found in
And I am very
depressed about it.
The Upper West
Side is saving you from yourself
because no one wants
to see you in that hat.
Hey! Hey!
Where'd you get...
How you doin?
Your hat!
What?
Where'd you get
your cowboy hat?
What?
What are you, crazy?
Hi.
Where'd you get
your cowboy hat?
My hat?
Yeah! Your cowboy hat!
You like my cowboy hat?
Really?
Yes! Where did you get it?
Somebody see
what happen?
Somebody call
an ambulance!
Call an ambulance.
Everybody just step back!
- Can you hear me?
- Get an ambulance!
Someone's calling one!
Ma'am, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I don't know!
Where am I?
You're on Broadway and
Between 75th and 74th Street.
- You were in a bad accident.
- Who are you?
My name is Lisa.
What do you mean? Am I dead?
No, you're not dead.
You were in a traffic accident,
but you're gonna be...
What do you mean?
What happened'?
You were run over by a bus.
You've got to be kidding me.
A bus?
Yeah.
ls there
a doctor anywhere?
Is it
still happening?
An ambulance is on its way.
The accident's over.
I think you're
a little confused.
I'll say I'm confused.
Here.
Let me just try...
No! Don't let go!
Ma'am!
- Don't let go of me! Don't let go of me.
- I won't.
I won't. I'm not gonna let go.
Thank you. Thank you, honey.
She needs a tourniquet
or she's going to die.
Okay, let me just...
Oh, my God!
Jesus Christ!
Help! God, what's
happening to me!
I'm sorry.
I'm trying to put
a tourniquet on you.
Ma'am, we need to get
a tourniquet on you.
Do you have a belt?
You can use your belt.
I just can't see
where to do it.
You're gonna be
all right, so just hang on.
Thank you, honey.
Just don't let go of me.
They're gonna put
a tourniquet on you.
What do you mean?
Are they doctors'?
No, they're not doctors.
They were just passing by.
Well, get 'em
the f*** away from me!
Ma'am!
Ma'am! We're only
trying to help you!
Never mind that!
Just try putting it around...
Do you wanna do it? You know how to do it.
You wanna do it?
Are you kidding me!
I can't see
