The Emperor's Club Page #4

Wrong girl.

What happened?|- I don't know.

Grey, wait up!

Deepak, would you give Sedgewick and me a moment?|- Yes, sir.

Thank you.|- You're welcome, sir.

I spoke to your father.|- I know.

We had a real...|heart-to-heart.

This is for you.

Forgive the condition.|It was my textbook in high school.

It's quite good.

The first chapter|has an outline...

of all the material which we'll|be covering this term.

I thought it might|be helpful in preparing...

for the Mr.Julius Caesar contest.

The first quiz|is tomorrow morning.

Look at chapter three...|"The Foundation of the Republic."

Sedgewick, I'm lending you this book|because I believe in you.

I think you could be|at the top of your class...

if you wanted to be.

It's entirely up to you.

Begin.

Well done!

Mr. Bell.

You passed.

It's only a C-minus.

Well, you know what they say|about Rome.

It wasn't built in a day?

No. All roads lead to it.

You were right the first time.|Keep up the good work.

Begin.

Hey, Kevin! How are you?

Forty?|- Fourteen!

What are you saying?|- Oh, 14.

All right. Alea jacta est.|What's that mean?

"The die is cast."

All right. All right. Twenty.|All right. Next week then.

I actually made the list.|Hey, look who's up there.

Good job. Number five.|You're third.

Miss Peters, no one is going to look|at this book between now and 7:00 a.m.

I understand that, Mr. Bell.|I understand.

Every boy in the third forum has asked|to check this book out overnight.

Now, if I let you have it,|that wouldn't be fair, would it?

I t would be fair.|I know in my heart it would be.

Mr. Bell, you are exasperating.|Miss Peters,...

that is a great hairstyle.

Is that new?|- I've had it since 1958.

Now, Mr. Bell, in order to be fair|to all the students,

it is important that this book always|be available here at this desk.

It is Saint Benedict's policy.

And it will be on your desk|tomorrow morning.

I promise you.|You have my word.

No! No!

Miss Peters, I can vouch|for this boy's character.

He's one of my best students.

If he says it will be on your desk|first thing in the morning,...

it will be on your desk|first thing in the morning.

I will, personally,|take full responsibility.

Please.

Thank you.|- You're welcome.

I wasn't kidding|about the hair.

Thank you. Good night.|Say thank you.

Thank you.|Thanks. Good evening.

You run a tight ship, Miss Peters.|Good night.

Good night! Good night!|- I admire that...

Come on, Sedge.|Come on.

Yeah-yeah. Come on.|Pick it up. Pick it up.

All right, Marty!

Nice! Nice catch!

Hey, Mr. Hundert!|Hey, you want to take a couple of swings?

Come on, Mr. Hundert!

Aw, come on!|- Come on, Mr. Hundert!

The library windows are too close.

Oh, yeah.|Right, Mr. Hundert.

Hey, come on. Show us|how it's done, old school.

Now you got to play,|Mr. Hundert. Come on!

"Old school," eh?

Here we go.|Here comes the jacket.

Watch and learn.

Mr. Masoudi.|Mr. Hundert.

It's been awhile.|- Yeah. More like never.

Hey, back it up, everybody. Come on.|We got a hitter. Move back.

Back it up, fellows.|Back it up, out field.

Should've known.

Egemus iaculatore,|non iacchi latore!

What does that mean?|- Means we want a pitcher, not a glass of water.

Come on, Sedgewick!|You got to get him back for that one!

Right down the lane!

No batter.

All right! No batter! Come on!|Sedgewick, come on.

Swing, batter-batter-batter-batter!

Run!

Run!

Come on!|Hurry, up!

Move! Move! Come on! Move it!|Let's go!

Hey, come on!|Let's go to Brewster's room!

Go, go, go!

Nice hit, Mr. Hundert.

Good, Mr. H.|"Old school"!

I suppose you're as blind|as all of them.

You have no idea how this came to be hit|through my window? - No idea.

Oh, dear.|- No idea?

Ohhh, dear.|- You'll make a good lawyer.

It's 9:
00.|You have until noon.

This is the last of|the Mr.Julius Caesar quizzes...

and will do much to determine|the three finalists.

Good luck.

It's time, Mr. Bell.

Mr. Bell,|I'm afraid you'll have to stop.

This is it, Martin.

This is unbelievable!|- Oh, my God. I got to call my father.

All right. Let's go!

Oh, I'm sorry,.|I hope it's not too late.

No. Not at all.|Not at all.

How are you?

Well. Well.|I was just outside...

observing the wildlife.

Sit down!|Would you like your usual?

No, thank you.|You sure?

Do you mind if I, uh...

How is Mr. Julius Caesar going?

Very... Very well.|Even, uh, Sedgewick Bell.

Making progress?|- Oh, more than progress.

He's come out of the darkness|into the light. It's...

Please, sit down.

Cheers.

I have to tell you something.

Tony's been offered a lectureship|at his old college in Oxford.

It's a good offer,|and he's accepted it.

I mean... I mean to say|we've accepted it.

Uh, we're going to England.

When?

At the end of the year?

Well, if he wants the position,...

he has to take it up almost immediately,|and he wants the position.

So, he's spoken|to Mr. Woodbridge,...

and he agreed.

Just like that?

Well, that's... that's...

That's remarkable, really.

A lectureship, that's|a tremendous opportunity.

Very good. Good.

Well, you'll be missed.

Both of you.

I-I... I should...

Yes.
