The fridge.

- I'm so sorry.

- It's all right.

Just when I was getting to be

a salsa king too, huh?

Is this the Wheel of Fortune house?

Yeah.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, sweetheart.

You're a good dog. Yes, you are.

I wanna apologize...

...for reacting the way that I did.

You don't have to apologize.

Everybody reacts that way.

Thanks for dinner.

I had a really good time.

You're welcome.

You know...

You know what you need?

You need something

to liven up your house.

It flowers.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Good night.

Since some of you are so

interested in pharmaceuticals...

...I thought I'd prepare

a little demonstration for you.

Rita.

Bring your friend in the cage

up here, please.

His name is Snowball.

Like that little pig dude

from Animal Farm.

You read Animal Farm?

Schoolgirl!

Shut up, Cesar!

You read Animal Farm, Cesar?

No. But I f***ed a sheep once.

We heard that, homes.

That sh*t is sick.

Cesar, come here.

I want you to have

a front row sit for this.

Lose the lokes.

Why are your eyes so red?

I was up late studying all night, Mr. G.

Yeah, right.

That's a nice watch.

Can I have it?

Sit down.

I want you to read Young's Rule.

Page 564. Top of the page.

- I ain't reading that sh*t.

- Rita...

...give Cesar your book so he can read.

Forget it! I ain't reading that sh*t.

- Stupid chunt!

- Stupid b*tch!

Just read it, man!

Read.

Please.

"Young's Rule... "

Formulates.

"... formulates... "

Settle down!

Settle down, people.

F*** you guys!

It's all right.

You'll get another chance.

I have in this brown bottle

a prescription for liquid Demerol.

Where'd you get that?

This came out of my private stash.

Demerol is a morphine sulfate.

It is soluble in water.

Young's Rule says:

Divide the age of the patient...

...by the patient's age plus 12...

...thus giving you...

...the correct fraction of the adult

dosage suitable for the patient.

In Snowball's case...

...I calculated the dosage

for a 1-year-old child.

He should be awake in about 10 minutes.

He's dead, isn't he?

I hope he did die!

He should've woke up by now.

You just caught yourself a murder case.

Everyone who didn't answer...

...the questions on page 264,

please do so tonight.

Cesar!

Hold it.

Where's my watch?

I ain't got no watch. I gotta go.

Come here! Empty your pockets!

Let me put it to you like this.

I gotta catch a bus. All right?

I have to see Hyland before he leaves.

I've been meaning to see you.

It's been a week.

You must be avoiding me.

Are you okay?

It's pretty much been like this

since my accident.

But it has nothing to do with you.

I gotta go.

Can you do me a favor?

When you finish, can you give me a ride

to my car? It's at the mechanic's.

If you can't, it's okay. I can walk.

I can manage that.

Thanks.

Base 1 to Base 3. I found him.

Mr. Garcia would like

to see you in his office.

Thanks for coming in.

Sorry we have to meet

under such circumstances.

You don't mind if we tape-record

our conversation? Matter of record.

You know Mr. Hyland, right?

Your teachers' union rep.

Am I being questioned?

They say you've accused them

of stealing your watch.

And if that's the case, I need

to address the accusation.

Beginning of 6th period,

Cesar admired my watch.

I believe his exact words were

"Can I have it?"

Bottom line is, I'd like my watch back.

Anything else?

I asked him to empty his pockets

and he refused.

Is that true?

No way! He never asked me that!

I don't go around taxing teachers.

I got no damn watch!

Calm down.

Empty your pockets now.

Mr. Littleton, may we see

what's in your pockets too?

I'd like a locker search.

Good. I could use the money.

I'll sue your ass.

You're excused, gentlemen.

Take your things, please.

Thank you very much.

Do you have the time?

It's 3:
22, Mr. Sanchez.

3:
22. Thanks.

Mr. Garfield, let me try

to explain something.

I work very hard to try and think

of our students here at Adams...

...as my clients.

We can't have another lawsuit

like we had on that Blackwell case.

That one cost the district

a quarter of a million dollars.

So I need you to be straight with me.

Did you physically see Cesar

take your watch?

No, I didn't.

Gentlemen...

...unless we have reasonable cause

to show they took your watch...

...I can't authorize a locker search.

Sorry.

That was my grandfather's watch.

Can't you see what they're doing?

Didn't you ever teach?

I'm afraid I never had the privilege.

Teaching and being a principal

don't necessarily go hand in hand.

That's beside the point...

Have a good day.

Why didn't you say something?

The a**hole's a politician.

He's got every angle covered.

- I'm thinking of videotaping my classes.

- You want some free advice?

Cover your ass.

If Garcia asks, the camera's purpose

is to observe you, not the students.

I mean his "clients. "

Some gangbanger might think...

...we're violating his civil rights.

Sorry, Iris, completely forgot.

Right.

I wanna talk to you

about the discipline committee.

I gotta make a run up to the office.

Go ahead. I can wait.

I have to fly up there

for a computer conference.

When's that?

Day after tomorrow.

I've never been to San Francisco.

You should go sometime.

You'd really like it.

It's only about an hour by air,

or five or six by car...

...but it has a totally

different attitude than L.A.

The only problem is,

I hate to leave Jack with my mother.

I'm afraid that she'll forget

to feed him and he'll starve to death.

So anyway, San Francisco's more like

a real city, like Chicago or New York.

Or Baghdad...

...or Mars.

I'll take care of Jack for you

while you're gone.

Aren't you supposed to be in P.E.?

These boys are tripping, man!

Old lady's f***ed up!

- I gotta make J.C. Next year. I got to!

- Calm down.

I'll never get out of here!

That b*tch, Quinn!

I'm gonna sue her ass. I swear to God!

Okay, Rita, slow down.

What's she teach?

English Comp. She's failing me!

She hates me! She's racist against me!

Just because you're Latina...

I'm Chicana!

Okay. Chicana.

Stop blaming everybody else.

You're too smart for that.

Whatever's wrong with that essay

is correctable.

May I see it?

Use some of that tissue there.

Why do you wear so much makeup?

- To make me pretty.

- You don't need it.

Who's Puppet?

Nothing.

It's a gang thing...

...but I'm kicking that sh*t.

Because I look like I'm down for my

neighborhood don't mean I'm stupid.

The ideas in your essay

aren't the problem.

It's your punctuation and grammar.

They need work. Am I lying?

If you need help, I'm here for you.

I don't know.

"I don't know"?

Why'd you come here?

Look, we can meet in the library,

all right?

Somebody might see us.

I'll come to your house.

No way.

You pick a place.

You want something to drink?

I got...

...Coke, Sprite, juice.

Cola's all right.

You know, you're not the only one

whose reputation's on the line here.

I don't normally tutor students
