# and suddenly I knew...

I'd fallen for you #

# there's nothing I can say...

...nothing I can do #

# I've fallen for you #

My seat.

Bickleman's in my seat.

Sorry, Thomas.

No, Bickleman, this is...

...your seat.

Sorry, Jackie.

Mr. Miller, you have 45

...minutes to write the following...

1,000 times.

"I will tell no more lies. "

Say it for me.

It seems like a rather...

...old-fashioned punishment.

I'm an old-fashioned gal.

Now say it for me.

I will tell no more lies.

Excellent.

Now write it.

I will return shortly.

I have a hair appointment.

With the beekeeper?

# to be a macho, macho man #

# to have the kind of body...

...always in demand #

# jogging in the mornings...

...go, man, go #

# workouts in the health spa...

...muscles glow #

# you can best believe that...

...he's a macho man #

# ready to get down with...

...anyone he can #

# hey! Hey!

...hey, hey, hey! #

# macho, macho man #

# macho man #

# I've got to be a macho man #

# I've got to be a #

# macho, macho man, yeah #

# I've got to be a macho #

# oh! #

# macho, macho man, yeah #

# I've got to be a macho man #

# macho, macho man #

# hey, hey #

# I've got to be a macho #

That's a lot of work...

...for one man.

Yeah, I suppose.

But...

I'm sure there are people who...

...wish they had some work to do...

Huh?

Well, I'm sure whoever made...

...this mess would, uh, come...

...and apologize if he were here.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Uh, I'm Albert.

Thomas Miller.

Ah, well then I accept.

Accept what?

Your apology.

You know, uh, Thomas Miller...

...he left his library card here.

And isn't it funny that...

...this Thomas Miller...

...looks exactly like the one...

...who's standing right here?

Weird, huh?

Busted.

Yeah, busted.

Oh, before I forget...

Mrs. Bleckner, she asked me...

...to check on you...

...see if you, uh, completed...

...your punishment.

1,000 times.

1,000?

Wow.

Wow, this looks more like 2,000.

Yeah, well, I wanted to show...

...her how much I've changed.

Thomas, I'm gonna give you...

...one more chance.

I'm sorry?

Last chance to explain...

...the stench of toner all over...

...these papers.

Guilty, sir.

Now, how does it feel...

...to tell the truth?

Weird.

Hey, you're not gonna tell...

On me, are you?

'Cause I'm on a real short...

"one more strike and you're out"

...leash.

Nah, man, this'll be our...

...little secret.

You've got some major cools...

...for an adult.

I hope for your sake your...

...parents have some major cools...

...too.

Well, actually, you might...

...know my mom.

Principal Hampton's assistant...

Claire Miller.

Yeah, yeah...

She's a nice lady.

And, uh, and what about...

...your father?

I don't really have to worry...

...about my dad.

He's actually away a lot.

All right, listen up...

...gentlemen. We're playing in...

...front of a hostile crowd today.

If we're gonna win this thing...

...we're gonna have to play...

...mistake-free football, and I

...think we all know what that is...

...all right?

And I'm looking at you...

John Vilma, to lead us to...

...victory, all right?

I'm counting on you, buddy.

We're all counting on you.

We're gonna fo...

...hold on, coach.

Can I Blitz?

Not today, no blitzing today.

Thank you, though.

Now listen, here's what we're...

...gonna do. We're gonna go out...

...there and we're gonna play...

...the best game we've ever played...

...all right? Now, if they...

...come back with that pass...

...coach?

Why you're not gonna let me...

...blitz?

We're not gonna Blitz today...

Okay? Today John won't be...

...blitzing, all right?

We're gonna go with my plan...

All right?

Here's what we're doing.

John is gonna Blitz.

Thanks, coach.

Hey, look at that...

...there's a gift for ya.

All right, let's get it in here...

...right now, let's go, guys.

Who are we?

Jets!

Who are we?

Jets!

Let's go!

Wow.

Your father is the coach...

...of the New York Jets?

Yeah. Sometimes he even...

...lets me design some of...

...the defense packages.

And me, just a janitor.

Well, like I said, it beats...

...not having a job, huh?

I'll try and remember that.

Oh, Thomas Miller.

Keep it real, huh?

Yeah.

Joe Namath?

Mine, Chapman.

A signed ball from Joe Namath...

...must be worth a few dollars.

Ever since I've been in this...

...school, you've taken everything...

...that belongs to me.

I've taken nothing of yours.

It hardly seems fair.

So?

So give me back my ball.

This one?

Come on, my dad gave that...

...to me.

Dad?

Which dad?

The skateboarding dad?

Or dad the Jets coach?

Or government dad?

Which one, Miller?

Which one of your fabulous dads...

...gave this to you?

You want this?

You want this so bad?

Well, go get it.

Hey.

Yeah, the cover here...

...at the school is perfect.

No one suspects a thing.

I'll get her at the dance.

Believe me, they'll pay all...

...the money in the world to get...

...her back in one piece.

We'll talk later.

Jackie, are you there?

Jackie, come on...

I need to talk to you!

I was down in the gym basement...

...and I overheard some guy...

...talking about getting some girl...

...and how they'd pay all the...

...money in the world to get her...

...back in one piece, and he's...

...gonna do it at the dance!

Please, Jackie, you gotta...

Answer me!

Hoffman, this is serious!

Are you there?

Excuse me...

Pardon me, excuse me.

We need to talk.

Which would be fine...

...except for the fact that...

...we're not talking.

Jackie, this is really...

...really important.

Implying my feelings...

...were not.

Quiet, class.

I have a very important...

...announcement to share with you...

...this morning.

Jackie, this is really...

...important.

Mr. Miller, take your seat.

As you know, our honor students...

...entered a national essay...

...competition.

Well, with great pleasure...

I can tell you our very own...

Madison Kramer placed first...

...with her composition titled...

"Saving the World One Minute...

At a Time. "

Thank you.

And I really believe...

...it could be done!

If we just break our lives down...

...into little sixty-second...

...intervals...

Thank you, Madison.

Now as a reward, our school...

...has been selected for a visit...

...by a very special guest.

I've known about this for days...

...but couldn't tell anyone...

...for security purposes.

Tonight our fall dance will be...

...graced with an appearance...

...by the daughter of the President...

...of the United States of America...

Christina Adams.

That's right...

I'll get her at...

...the dance. Believe me...

...they'll pay all the money...

...in the world to get her back...

...in one piece.

Oh, my gosh.

Mr. Miller, go directly...

...to the...

...the Principal's office.

Down the hall, to the left...

...past the library.

That's where I'm heading.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Thomas.

Sir, the President's...

...daughter's in serious danger!

Is this another little prank...
