...and he came up behind

me and he started...

...massaging my shoulders

and then he slid...

...his hands down the

front of me and started...

...rubbing my breasts.

It's okay, Faith, you don't

have to go into details.

She will have to discuss them with...

...the police, however.

Well, it was my understanding, from our...

...phone conversations,

Mrs. Gregory, that you wanted to keep the...

...police out of this.

I swear, I didn't do anything.

Yes, you did.

For God's sake,

Faith, please...

Mr. Campbell, please control yourself.

You're disgusting.

If he says one more word to her,

we're leaving.

So, it's Brian, Mitch,

the girl and her mother.

No lawyers?

Apparently, Ron is

working as hard as he can...

... to keep the whole

thing off the record.

Well, why am I not surprised by that?

I don't know, but if I was going in to...

...a meeting like that,

I wouldn't want Mitch representing me.

Really? Who else would you pick?

I don't know, but...

I don't know, Mitch...

...would be my first choice.

He's a really good man to have your back.

Yeah.

That's the problem.

He's too good. He's too nice.

Wrong.

Okay.

Mitch is good.

He's not nice.

What's the difference?

He's a good man, but

you get on his bad side,

teacher, student,

anybody, good luck.

Faith...

- I did nothing wrong.

You're going to jail, you bastard.

Okay, all right, let me just interject here...

...for a second, okay?

Um, Faith, I understand

that you're upset, and, uh,

none of us are suggesting...

You think you can just...

...grab any girl you want...

...because you're the big boss?

I did nothing wrong.

You call grabbing my b*obs nothing?

No, no,

that is awful, Faith.

He shouldn't work here.

And he...

...doesn't anymore.

Hold on, hold on,

Faith,

right now you just went like this...

... when you talked about what

Mr. Campbell did to you.

But earlier, you said

that he was behind you.

Oh, right, that's...

That's what I meant.

What difference does it make where they...

...were standing?

I don't think we have

to rehash all the details...

... Just a second, Ron.

Faith, I understand that you don't like.

Mr. Campbell's class.

And clearly you don't like Mr. Campbell.

I hate him.

- And that's okay.

That's enough,

Mr. Carter.

You're about to ruin a man's life.

And his career.

Maybe send him to jail.

So what we need

from you, right now,

is to tell the truth.

How dare you.

My daughter is not on trial.

Did Mr. Campbell...

...touch you?

He was looking at me like he wanted to.

But he didn't, did he?

No.

- Faith.

Thank God.

You shouldn't have failed me, you a**hole.

What is going on here?

I assure you that we'll

do whatever it takes...

...to resolve this issue.

That was pretty rough.

- How're you feeling?

Like I've been doing this

job for a hundred years,

with a hundred more to go.

John, hey, it's Mitch.

Hi, how you doing?

Yeah, um...

... I'll take it. I'll do it.

Yeah.

Listen, let me talk to you about the...

...details later, okay?

I just... Okay, great.

Great. Thank you. Bye.

Daddy.

Hey, hi.

Hello.

So, what happened?

You're not going to believe it.

She made it up.

What? How do you know?

She admitted it.

Oh, my God.

I know, right.

Oh, my God.

Yay, family hug.

Oh.

It's over.

How did it happen?

I squeezed it out of her.

What, are you on

Law & Order or something?

I could be.

I'm gonna go call Jackie.

Um, hang on,

hang on. I, um...

... I, um...

... I took the job.

You did?

Yeah.

Well, it's good.

It's good,

it's gonna be good.

I know.

It'll be all right.

Yeah.

I'm making my peace with it.

The money is unbelievable.

And when the baby comes,

Kate will be able to...

... take as much time off

work as she needs.

Maybe she won't have to work at all.

It was the right decision.

You wanna put him

in the car? Let him go to the...

...movies or something?

Just coffee for breakfast?

Yeah, I gotta get to school early.

Well, let me at least

finish making your lunch here.

No time, gotta go.

What's the rush?

Well, I have to finish grading all my...

...papers this morning,

so that I can have a meeting with.

Ron this afternoon.

Oh, you're gonna tell him.

How's he gonna take it?

The way I'm gonna tell him?

Not well.

Oh, my God, I should sell

tickets to this meeting.

Daddy? Daddy?

Sweetheart,

what's wrong?

I thought you left

without saying goodbye.

Oh, well, you were sleeping, honey.

I didn't want to wake you up.

You always have to

say goodbye, Daddy.

And give me my milk and watch cartoons.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay,

okay, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I'll do it tomorrow,

okay? I promise.

Okay.

Oh, yeah, what, and what?

Yup.

Okay, and how 'bout the headphones for...

...good measure, okay?

Your lucky day.

I'm giving you a break.

But you got two. Okay?

Thanks.

For the smart-ass look

you just gave me.

Yeah. Enjoy it. Okay?

I don't... I don't need it.

Listen, the whole Brian

Campbell situation...

...is unfortunate.

But, uh, I have nothing to say about it.

Well, you just said it was unfortunate.

Then I have nothing else to say about it,

okay, Mr. Grammar?

We were hoping to talk

to Principal Douche about it.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

It's a brand new day.

They offered me my job back.

I did not take it.

I've been offered jobs at other schools...

...over the years...

... and I stayed there...

...because I thought

things were gonna change.

I thought Douche...

...Look, the douche will be the douche...

...for the rest of his life.

He's gonna have to wake up,

look in the mirror,

and see himself, and that's

enough punishment for me.

I kind of hope he wakes up with VD.

Ah. That's a little bad karma.

Not... Just the kind

that hurts when he pees.

Burning.

Yes.

'Who is the third president of...

...the United States?'

Answer,

'Mr. Donovan's a homo.'

It's not true, it's mean, it's politically...

...incorrect, and I just...

... These kids, I don't know what to do...

...with them, I mean,

I come in every day and

I do my best and they just...

...yell and they don't listen

and I don't know how...

...to control them.

No, that's your first mistake.

You're not gonna be

able to control them.

They're very energetic,

they're gonna be...

...all over the place.

What you have to do is learn to...

...conserve that energy...

...and try and redirect them

in the direction you...

...want them to go in.

What are you guys talking about?

Ian's just having a little trouble in his...

...history class.

A lot of trouble.

- History?

Mmm-hmm.

Who cares about that?

I'm in the robot business,

and business is booming.

What's the width of a child's neck?

Actually, business is not booming.

Season's off to a terrible start and.

I'm not handling it well.

You call this efficient torque?

Yeah.

Is that a joke?

I have a joke for you.

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Second place.

Are you insane?

Terrible. Start over.

What do you have?
