I'm going to take the test again.

You're kidding!

Kimo, we only have one day to study.

8:
00 a. M. On Tuesday. Thank you.

You didn't let me talk to them.

Call collect. Stick them with a big bill.

Thought I'd seen this place

for the last time.

We'll have to review the whole course

in one shot.

- In one day?

- Can't do it in any less.

Maybe they'll give us the same test.

It will be harder. You can count on that.

Just go step by step and play defense.

Don't bring anything.

No pencils, no erasers, nothing.

Don't wear clothes with too many pockets.

Don't let your eyes wander.

No spacing out.

Don't give them any opportunity

to call you cheaters.

You are the true dreamers.

And dreams accomplish wonderful things.

You're the best.

Tomorrow you'll prove

that you're the champs.

Start with Chapter 1.

Kimo, what you making there?

You like brains? Good. I was afraid

you guys wouldn't appreciate it.

This food lasts for 24-hours.

You're afraid we're going

to screw up royally tomorrow.

Tomorrow is just another day.

I'm afraid you'll screw up

the rest of your lives.

I'm fried. I don't care

if I don't pass that test.

- Sit down. We got a lot of work to do.

- I'm going home.

Sit down.

I'm tired and I'm going home. Okay?

- Do you know what you're doing?

- I'm going home, that's what.

It's almost ready. Who wants some?

Let's order out, man.

Just kidding.

I had to see you.

You can't expect me to be your girlfriend

at your convenience.

I'm an a**hole.

Sorry.

I'm sure you're all familiar

with the procedure.

You have 90 minutes to complete

the multiple choice section.

Do not fill in answers by guessing.

Wrong answers will be counted

against you.

You may begin Part 1, now.

Okay, pencils down.

You have 90 minutes to complete

the free-response section.

Do not spend too much time

on any particular answer.

Credit will be issued for partial solutions.

Open the booklet, begin Part 2. Good luck.

- Finished?

- No, I can't finish the test.

I have a scholarship appointment at U.S.C.

- Can't that wait?

- No, it can't.

Did you fill out your ID card?

Okay, pencils down.

Did you hear the news?

We got the computers.

Yep, that'll do it.

They want to go over the test again

so that there's no misunderstandings.

I'm on my way to the faculty meeting.

Misunderstanding again?

Call Dr. Ramirez. He'll help us.

He'll tell me the same thing.

All right, I'll call him.

This is Mr. Molina calling again.

Can I speak to...

Yes, I did.

You do?

Yes! I'd like that very much.

One moment.

Yes, I'm aware of the scoring.

Three is a passing grade,

five is a perfect grade.

I'm ready. Go ahead.

Diaz, Maria, four.

Sinfuentes, Mark, five.

Narvarra, Jose, four.

I want the original scores reinstated.

Santos, Daniel, four.

Escobar, Guadalupe, five.

Camejo, Claudia, four.

Ana Delgado, four.

Garcia, Francisco, three.

Fuentes, Rafaela, four.

Javier Perales, five.

Guitaro, Armando, four.

Angel Guzman...

...five.

Tell them to hold the meeting.

We have great news.

Pernajas, Juliana, five.

Hernandez, Alejandro, four.
