<p>英文剧本: 录取通知 Accepted&nbsp;</p>
<p><br />
Accepted script</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Everyone, have your money ready. We only have so much time.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Okay, say, &quot;Cheers!&quot; Cheers.</p>
<p>Say, &quot;Beer!&quot; Beer!</p>
<p>Say, &quot;Cheers!&quot;</p>
<p>(MEOWING)</p>
<p>Glen, you got to take that shirt off, pal.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Hands, you wanna field this one?</p>
<p>Uh, dude, you're getting a fake ID</p>
<p>and you're wearing a shirt that says you're in high school.</p>
<p>So?</p>
<p>Okay, whatever. I'll fix it later.</p>
<p>Just do what you were doing.</p>
<p>(MEOWING) Give me some nice cat things.</p>
<p>SCHRADER: B! BARTLEBY: Oh, hey, Schrader.</p>
<p>SCHRADER: What the hell is going on here?</p>
<p>Relax, pal.</p>
<p>Five percent goes to your favorite charity.</p>
<p>Uh, I forgot to tell you, I borrowed your keys.</p>
<p>You borrowed my keys? Come on.</p>
<p>Well, I needed them. Ow.</p>
<p>We're providing a vital service to America's youth here.</p>
<p>Could we get the next in line, please? No, we're not. Stay there!</p>
<p>We're contributing to the delinquency of minors, B.</p>
<p>Do you know what will happen to me if I get caught?</p>
<p>Every day after eighth period,</p>
<p>Vice Principal Matthews comes in here.</p>
<p>He picks up the women's fitness magazine</p>
<p>and he snaps one off!</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Are you serious? Yes.</p>
<p>That is a problem.</p>
<p>Uh, okay, well, we still have the rest of eighth period, right?</p>
<p>So, we'll just pack everybody up and get out of here.</p>
<p>Okay, let's go!</p>
<p>(BELL RINGS)</p>
<p>Shit!</p>
<p>(ALL SINGING DISCORDANTLY) America! America!</p>
<p>Gaines! Gaines! Gaines!</p>
<p>Okay, good, good.</p>
<p>Ah, wonderful! Vice Principal Matthews!</p>
<p>So glad you could join us!</p>
<p>What the hell is this?</p>
<p>It's Glee Club practice, sir.</p>
<p>We're just gettin' ready for Memorial Day. It's a big one for us.</p>
<p>We don't have a Glee Club.</p>
<p>Not yet, we don't, sir.</p>
<p>But as the graduating class, we wanted to leave behind</p>
<p>a legacy that inspires future students</p>
<p>to take initiative rather than spend their time,</p>
<p>I don't know, privately defacing women's fitness magazines.</p>
<p>I mean, I went to read an article</p>
<p>about no carbs and higher reps the other day</p>
<p>and the pages were... You are a rotten egg.</p>
<p>...as if by some natural adhesive. That'll be enough.</p>
<p>I need to cut the pounds</p>
<p>and I can't open the... Stop it!</p>
<p>Whatever does it for... Stop it!</p>
<p>That's all I'm gonna say.</p>
<p>Thank God you're graduating.</p>
<p>(BELL RINGING)</p>
<p>I'm the fourth-generation Schrader... Sorry.</p>
<p>To go to Harmon College, okay? Yeah.</p>
<p>I can't do anything to screw that up.</p>
<p>You know, like, I don't know, getting busted for identity fraud.</p>
<p>Look at you. Would you stop, man? Relax.</p>
<p>We're all goin' to college, okay?</p>
<p>This is said by the guy who's been rejected... GIRL: Hey, B.</p>
<p>...by seven schools.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm creating dramatic tension.</p>
<p>I got a good feeling about number eight! Ugh.</p>
<p>I got in! I got in! I got into Princeton!</p>
<p>Yeah! Yeah!</p>
<p>(WHOOPING)</p>
<p>Hey, I think that guy got into Princeton.</p>
<p>Oh, what makes you say that?</p>
<p>I don't know.</p>
<p>Bartleby! Hey.</p>
<p>Hey, how are you, Monica? Hey, how are you?</p>
<p>Good. Do you know Schrader?</p>
<p>No, I don't think so. Oh! Yes! We...</p>
<p>I actually... We had a class.</p>
<p>Oh, yeah.</p>
<p>My shit was all crazy. I sat way behind you.</p>
<p>Yeah. Sorry. SCHRADER: I don't remember you, either.</p>
<p>Sorry. It's all right.</p>
<p>Um, anyway, I really wanted to ask you something.</p>
<p>Sure, anything.</p>
<p>Um, you know, I know it's really late,</p>
<p>but, um, last minute and everything,</p>
<p>but prom is coming up soon, you know? It's okay. Yes.</p>
<p>And I'm actually having a party at my house beforehand.</p>
<p>Awesome! And I was wondering</p>
<p>if you'd like to, um... If you could, um...</p>
<p>I'd love to. ...mow our lawn.</p>
<p>Mow your lawn? Yeah.</p>
<p>Oh. I'm sorry.</p>
<p>Yeah. I'm really embarrassed, but, you know,</p>
<p>our mower's broken and my mom was just, like, &quot;Ask Bartleby!&quot;</p>
<p>That's cool!</p>
<p>I... Yeah. Tell your mother I would love to mow the lawn. Really?</p>
<p>(CAR HORN HONKING) Of course.</p>
<p>Thank you so much. Yeah, sure.</p>
<p>Thank you. Hey, babe! Hey, yo, Monica! Come on!</p>
<p>Sorry, I got to go.</p>
<p>But thank you, again. Yeah, s-sure.</p>
<p>You're really helping us out. Oh, great to see you.</p>
<p>And, hey, it was nice to meet, um, see you. Talk to you.</p>
<p>Yes, yes. It was... It was so nice catching up with you.</p>
<p>MONICA: Yeah. Okay. Bye-bye. B-Bye, Monica.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, baby.</p>
<p>Hoyt Ambrose. Hoyt!</p>
<p>Hoyt Ambrose. What's that guy got that I don't have?</p>
<p>I just need to get a car.</p>
<p>And classic good looks.</p>
<p>We're not just kids to say the least</p>
<p>We got ideas to us that's dear</p>
<p>University of Massachusetts, please</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: &quot;I regret...&quot;</p>
<p>It's educational</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: I can't believe I didn't get into State!</p>
<p>I wasn't even aiming high with that one.</p>
<p>That was my fallback!</p>
<p>It was my safety school, my fail-safe!</p>
<p>Maybe you're just too average.</p>
<p>Hey, time out.</p>
<p>Too average?</p>
<p>Okay. Okay. Excuse me, Lizzie.</p>
<p>R-R-Remember who you're talkin' to here.</p>
<p>I didn't have to go to gym class for a whole year</p>
<p>'cause I claimed to be allergic to sweat.</p>
<p>Or what about the time I got the note from my doctor saying I was nocturnal</p>
<p>and I was allowed to study in my dreams?</p>
<p>I got the school bully, Frank Daley, kicked out for two years</p>
<p>because he was ually harassing me</p>
<p>by pushing me up against the locker and I said I felt something.</p>
<p>I mean, come on. That was pure genius.</p>
<p>Maybe if you didn't write an essay called &quot;I Don't Have a Clue.&quot;</p>
<p>Well, it's true. You know?</p>
<p>I don't have a clue what I want to do with the rest of my life.</p>
<p>Mom and Dad are gonna kill you.</p>
<p>O ye of little faith.</p>
<p>They're not gonna kill me. Uh-huh.</p>
<p>I just have to spin it</p>
<p>and put it in terms they can understand.</p>
<p>I don't understand.</p>
<p>I don't understand, either.</p>
<p>Okay, I figure it like this.</p>
<p>The average cost of college is, what, $20,000 a year?</p>
<p>Now, according to these estimates that I got off the Web...</p>
<p>You can pass those around.</p>
<p>Someone with no education beyond high school</p>
<p>can expect to make about $20,000 a year in the current job market.</p>
<p>Now, that being said, over the next four years,</p>
<p>you could either spend $80,000</p>
<p>or I could make $80,000.</p>
<p>(CHUCKLES)</p>
<p>Are you saying you don't want to go to college?</p>
<p>No. I'm saying that it is fiscally irresponsible</p>
<p>for me to go to college. You know?</p>
<p>Are you huffing? Oh, God. No.</p>
<p>Are you high? You're huffing grass?</p>
<p>No. I'm not huffing, Mom. I'm not stoned. I'm completely fine.</p>
<p>In fact, I'm more clear and level-headed than I've ever been.</p>
<p>Okay, cut the crap, Bartleby.</p>
<p>Society has rules.</p>
<p>And the first rule is you go to college. Mmm-hmm.</p>
<p>You want to have a happy and successful life? You go to college.</p>
<p>If you want to be somebody, you go to college.</p>
<p>If you want to fit in, you go to college.</p>
<p>Well, you know what? Maybe I didn't get into college.</p>
<p>What do you mean?</p>
<p>I didn't get accepted anywhere.</p>
<p>Oh, Bartleby.</p>
<p>Damn it.</p>
<p>I knew he should've started preparing for college in junior high</p>
<p>like his sister.</p>
<p>Now, she's got a shot. I've got a shot.</p>
<p>She's got a shot. Listen, guys.</p>
<p>There are plenty of successful people who didn't go to college.</p>
<p>Albert Einstein, you know.</p>
<p>Pocahontas never went to college.</p>
<p>Corey Feldman and Corey Haim.</p>
<p>They had a great run.</p>
<p>Both Lewis and Clark.</p>
<p>Suzanne Somers. Bono.</p>
<p>I need to go check on the cobbler.</p>
<p>&quot;Check the cobbler.&quot; Glug, glug, glug.</p>
<p>You know, I really don't care what Sonny Bono did or didn't do.</p>
<p>You're goin' to college.</p>
<p>I told you so.</p>
<p>You were adopted.</p>
<p>(DON'T STOP PLAYING)</p>
<p>MRS. SCHRADER: Everyone,</p>
<p>I would like to propose a toast to our graduates.</p>
<p>To the Class of 2006,</p>
<p>may the next four years of college</p>
<p>be the best years of your life.</p>
<p>MAN: Hear, hear. Mom.</p>
<p>(PEOPLE TOASTING)</p>
<p>HANDS: Hey. Hey, man, what's up?</p>
<p>What's up, B? How you doin'? What's up?</p>
<p>Dude, I swear, if one more person tells me</p>
<p>how excited they are to go to college, I'm gonna lose it.</p>
<p>Oh, man, I heard about the scholarship.</p>
<p>That's insane. You're one of the best receivers in the state.</p>
<p>Uh, the best. And, uh, no knee, no football, man.</p>
<p>That sucks. What are you gonna do now?</p>
<p>I have no idea.</p>
<p>That makes two of us, pal.</p>
<p>RORY: It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.</p>
<p>Hey, Rory. What's goin' on? Oh, hey. What? Fine. Nothing.</p>
<p>Um, l... I didn't get into Yale.</p>
<p>I did... I didn't, I didn't get into Yale.</p>
<p>I didn't... I didn't get into Yale.</p>
<p>What? I can't believe that!</p>
<p>Well, there's no room for Rory at Yale.</p>
<p>Too many rich kids with mediocre grades</p>
<p>and well-connected parents this year, I guess.</p>
<p>No room for Rory, who's been working</p>
<p>since first grade to get into Yale.</p>
<p>Rory, who only applied to Yale and nowhere else.</p>
<p>I had it all planned!</p>
<p>It was perfect, B! Perfect!</p>
<p>And now it's nothing! Nada!</p>
<p>It's a goose egg!</p>
<p>Okay. Well.</p>
<p>God, Rory! Rory!</p>
<p>She's handling that really well.</p>
<p>RORY: College is for pussies!</p>
<p>All right. I got to get out of here, pal.</p>
<p>Hang in there. All right, man. You, too.</p>
<p>Bartleby! Hey! Oh, hey, Mr. Schrader. I was actually just...</p>
<p>Did you have any cake?</p>
<p>No, you know, I'm not much of a cake guy.</p>
<p>Oh, it is a hell of a cake.</p>
<p>It is the same cake we got for Scotty and Seth when they got into Harmon.</p>
<p>Oh, ah, everything comes full circle.</p>
<p>Jay! How are ya, bud? Oh, I really don't...</p>
<p>Hey, Stu. Hey.</p>
<p>I can't imagine your pride, knowing your youngest</p>
<p>is headed off to a good college. Must take a load off.</p>
<p>Yeah, well, not to mention</p>
<p>the load it takes off my bank account.</p>
<p>(ALL LAUGHING)</p>
<p>Dad.</p>
<p>Nothin' like gettin' a load off!</p>
<p>What about you, Bartleby?</p>
<p>That's a good question, Mr. Harkin.</p>
<p>What's with the questions, Mr. Trebek?</p>
<p>Where you goin'?</p>
<p>Um, l... I, well...</p>
<p>I didn't really, uh...</p>
<p>Bartleby screwed around and now he's not goin' to college.</p>
<p>He's thrown his life away.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's... that's what I was gonna say. Thanks, Dad.</p>
<p>SCHRADER: Wait. South Harmon Institute of Technology?</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Yeah. B, you realize that makes it S.H.I.T., right?</p>
<p>S.H.I.T.? I was wingin' it. Whatever.</p>
<p>Just finish building the website, please.</p>
<p>This is the act of a desperate, wildly unrealistic person.</p>
<p>Yo, B, you have to hook me up with one of these acceptance letters, bro.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? No way. Why not?</p>
<p>Oh, come on. The only way this is gonna work is if we keep it quiet.</p>
<p>And even then, it's still a long shot.</p>
<p>Dude, I don't care. I have to do somethin'.</p>
<p>The minute I lost my scholarship,</p>
<p>my pop started talkin' about me getting my own bus route.</p>
<p>Help me. Please? Mmm.</p>
<p>You know something?</p>
<p>For the safety of the public, I can't let you drive a bus.</p>
<p>Sweet. But listen to me.</p>
<p>This is just a temporary stopgap measure, okay?</p>
<p>Nothing more. Gotcha.</p>
<p>Bravo, guys. Great. Both of you guys.</p>
<p>Let's start this fake college. And then we'll go start a meth lab somewhere.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Come on. It's a gateway crime. What?</p>
<p>That's how these things start.</p>
<p>You know something, Schrader,</p>
<p>you got into a great college.</p>
<p>And your future's lookin' really good,</p>
<p>and I'm psyched for you, pal, 'cause you're my best friend and I love you.</p>
<p>I'm talking about me coming to you, asking for your help.</p>
<p>Just finish the damn website.</p>
<p>Please.</p>
<p>What do you say?</p>
<p>There he is! Fine.</p>
<p>(HANDS CLAPPING) Get off me, you idiot.</p>
<p>But we need some sort of, like, mission statement or something.</p>
<p>Your dad's gonna want to see that. I know him, he's a hard-ass.</p>
<p>Hey, kids. Honey!</p>
<p>Hey. Hi. How are you? Hey.</p>
<p>JACK: What's this?</p>
<p>South Harmon Institute of Technology? What's that?</p>
<p>Mmm? What's that?</p>
<p>One of the most respected schools in the area, that's what that is.</p>
<p>Well, what's it say?</p>
<p>I gotta open it first.</p>
<p>DIANE: Come on, hurry.</p>
<p>Oh. I'm nervous.</p>
<p>&quot;Dear Bartleby,</p>
<p>&quot;congratulations, you've been accepted!&quot;</p>
<p>I got in!</p>
<p>Aw, thank God. Thank God. (LAUGHING) I got in!</p>
<p>Hey-o! Oh! God!</p>
<p>Honey. I'm okay.</p>
<p>Hey, this is great!</p>
<p>It's so exciting!</p>
<p>What the hell is South Harmon Institute of Technology? Yeah.</p>
<p>Oh, it's one of Harmon College's sister schools.</p>
<p>I've never heard of it.</p>
<p>Well, because it's the baby sister.</p>
<p>It's the most discreet and unharmed of the sister schools.</p>
<p>You got any literature on this place?</p>
<p>Yeah, there's a website, I'll show you the link.</p>
<p>You did it. You're a college boy.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>So you guys want to eat? GIRL: Yeah.</p>
<p>(GIRLS CHATTERING)</p>
<p>Hey! I hate my life.</p>
<p>I'm a huge tool.</p>
<p>Have fun being hot.</p>
<p>Bartleby!</p>
<p>Hey, Dad, what's up?</p>
<p>I took a look at that website.</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>Cool.</p>
<p>It looks unreal.</p>
<p>Unreal?</p>
<p>Yeah, it looks pretty unbelievable, huh?</p>
<p>It seems like a solid place.</p>
<p>Really?</p>
<p>Here you go.</p>
<p>First semester's tuition. Paid in full.</p>
<p>That's great.</p>
<p>Wow, thank you, Dad.</p>
<p>Oh, sorry. Sorry.</p>
<p>Thanks, Dad.</p>
<p>Your mother and I can't wait to drop you off.</p>
<p>What we need to do is lease a place near Harmon</p>
<p>so we can fool our parents. Yeah.</p>
<p>Hey, Schrad, do you know any places up near Harmon we can rent?</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, I do, actually.</p>
<p>I carry around a list with me at all times</p>
<p>of abandoned buildings for fake colleges.</p>
<p>Dude, I started you guys a bank account already.</p>
<p>What do you want me to be, your realtor?</p>
<p>Oh, hey, guys. What's up?</p>
<p>Hey, what's up, Glen?</p>
<p>GLEN: Hey. Hey, Glen,</p>
<p>when did you start working at the Kwik 'N Stop?</p>
<p>Since I got boned, hard, by every college I applied to.</p>
<p>Why, what happened?</p>
<p>Some political crap.</p>
<p>I got a zero on my SATs.</p>
<p>You know you get 600 points</p>
<p>just for signing your name, right?</p>
<p>(SNICKERS)</p>
<p>All right, let's get serious, man.</p>
<p>Now, where we gonna find a place to pass off as a college?</p>
<p>Hey, guys! I know a place.</p>
<p>HANDS: How'd you know about this place?</p>
<p>RORY: I used to do volunteer work here.</p>
<p>SCHRADER: This place is awesome.</p>
<p>'Cause now I can finally get hepatitis.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: A bird in the hand, dude. A bird in the hand.</p>
<p>SCHRADER: That doesn't make any sense.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: It's a saying. SCHRADER: What?</p>
<p>A diamond in the rough.</p>
<p>Hope you guys have hobo-stab insurance.</p>
<p>(METAL CLANKING)</p>
<p>SCHRADER: Great. The birthplace of crack.</p>
<p>(TOOL CLATTERING)</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Hello, beautiful.</p>
<p>Hey! Hey, guys, don't go in there.</p>
<p>This is breaking and entering.</p>
<p>Schrader, come on. Don't be scared.</p>
<p>Who's scared? I'm not scared. You're scared.</p>
<p>Schrader, you were scared to try the new flavor of Dr Pepper.</p>
<p>I told you that in confidence, Hands.</p>
<p>Schrader, you were afraid when your tooth fell out,</p>
<p>because you were terrified of the tooth fairy.</p>
<p>That's actually a legitimate fear.</p>
<p>She was rifling through my shit.</p>
<p>Okay, Fine, whatever, dude, stay here.</p>
<p>Fine. I will.</p>
<p>Okay, guys, seriously,</p>
<p>I don't want to be here alone when the walls start to bleed.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: We don't have to renovate the whole place.</p>
<p>We just have to focus on essential areas.</p>
<p>We got the... the main lobby. Hallway.</p>
<p>Dorm rooms. Dorm rooms, exactly.</p>
<p>I think this could really work. Huh? It's awesome!</p>
<p>Can you hold that? Yeah.</p>
<p>Guys, a little can-do attitude, some elbow grease,</p>
<p>maybe a smile from Schrader.</p>
<p>It's like cleaning up your room, you know?</p>
<p>Welcome to the South Harmon Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>HANDS: Atta baby. The beginning of good things.</p>
<p>RORY: Yeah.</p>
<p>(BARTLEBY EXCLAIMS)</p>
<p>(SCREAMING SHRILLY)</p>
<p>Schrader, what the hell was that?</p>
<p>Um, this is embarrassing.</p>
<p>Are you kidding?</p>
<p>It would be really cool</p>
<p>if you guys wouldn't tell people I scream like that.</p>
<p>Had an atomic bore</p>
<p>In 200$</p>
<p>Did some atomic tricks</p>
<p>In 2006</p>
<p>Ready, set, go.</p>
<p>Whoo! All right.</p>
<p>Uh, whoa, Glen.</p>
<p>Oh, hey, B.</p>
<p>What are you doing here, buddy?</p>
<p>Rory told me about it.</p>
<p>What are you doing? We were gonna keep this place a big secret.</p>
<p>But he didn't have any place to go.</p>
<p>He got fired from the Kwik 'N Stop.</p>
<p>Is that true? Why'd you... Why'd you get fired?</p>
<p>I got fired for making a shrimp slushee.</p>
<p>That's disgusting. See?</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Why would you do that, pal?</p>
<p>'Cause I was hungry and thirsty.</p>
<p>Oh, God.</p>
<p>Had an atomic bore</p>
<p>In 200$</p>
<p>Did some atomic tricks</p>
<p>In 2000</p>
<p>Five, seven</p>
<p>(YELPS)</p>
<p>Nine</p>
<p>Had an atomic bore</p>
<p>In 200$</p>
<p>Did some atomic tricks</p>
<p>This kitchen is bitchin'!</p>
<p>And this'll be the bath...</p>
<p>(ALL EXCLAIM)</p>
<p>SCHRADER: Close the door. HANDS: Shit!</p>
<p>(FLIES BUZZING) Close it!</p>
<p>Had an atomic bore</p>
<p>In 200$</p>
<p>Did some atomic tricks</p>
<p>In 2006</p>
<p>Got out way late</p>
<p>In 2008</p>
<p>I'm gonna do it again</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah</p>
<p>STU: It takes 10,000 steps to get from here to greatness.</p>
<p>And this right here,</p>
<p>this is step one.</p>
<p>Good luck, Son.</p>
<p>VAN HORNE: Mister Ambrose, do you know what makes Harmon a great college?</p>
<p>Rejection.</p>
<p>The exclusivity of any university</p>
<p>is judged primarily by the amount of students</p>
<p>it rejects.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, for the last few years,</p>
<p>we have been unable to match the amount of students</p>
<p>that Yale, Princeton, or even Stanford rejects,</p>
<p>primarily because of our physical limitations.</p>
<p>But all that is about to change.</p>
<p>Yale has one, Princeton has one.</p>
<p>And now Harmon College will have</p>
<p>the prestigious entranceway it deserves.</p>
<p>A verdant buffer zone</p>
<p>to keep knowledge in, and ignorance out.</p>
<p>That is a great idea, sir. Yes, it is.</p>
<p>Now, you, Mr. Ambrose, are chairman</p>
<p>of the Student Community Outreach Committee.</p>
<p>I need you to secure all these decrepit properties</p>
<p>in the neighboring community.</p>
<p>So that we can demolish them to make room</p>
<p>for the Van Horne Gateway.</p>
<p>You know what?</p>
<p>This actually looks like the real deal.</p>
<p>Guys, I don't want to be too overly optimistic,</p>
<p>(CELL PHONE RINGING) But I think this could work.</p>
<p>It really looks professional. Hello.</p>
<p>Hey, kid, where the hell are you?</p>
<p>Oh, I'm, uh... Listen.</p>
<p>I took another look at that website.</p>
<p>What's all this &quot;be what you want to be&quot; crap?</p>
<p>No, no, Dad, they just... they just have to say stuff like that</p>
<p>just to keep from being sued.</p>
<p>Yeah, well, sounds like a bunch of crap to me.</p>
<p>Glen, go long. Set up a meeting with the dean.</p>
<p>(GLEN EXCLAIMING)</p>
<p>The dean? Jesus. Mother of hell!</p>
<p>Your college does have a dean, doesn't it?</p>
<p>I'm good! Yes, of course the college has a dean.</p>
<p>Dad, you know, he's a busy guy, though, you know,</p>
<p>he can't just, uh, set up a meeting with parents.</p>
<p>Listen. If I'm paying for it, I'm meeting with the dean.</p>
<p>I want to make sure you have the same education I did. A real education.</p>
<p>Dinner's at 8:00. Wait, Dad, Dad, Dad, I can't... I can't... Aw, shit.</p>
<p>I gotta trim this corner right here. I think I got poisoned.</p>
<p>What's up, B? We got a little problem.</p>
<p>What? Who was that, Bartleby?</p>
<p>We gotta find a dean.</p>
<p>In life, it's important to distinguish between need and want.</p>
<p>You think you want something because you've been conditioned to want it.</p>
<p>I want the Pump!</p>
<p>I don't got the Pump.</p>
<p>Look, oh, I got the Tim Duncan Adidas Cool-D's.</p>
<p>I want the Pump!</p>
<p>Listen, you insolent little snot,</p>
<p>there are kids right now in Asia who are sewing your stupid shoes together,</p>
<p>so that their family can have a bowl of rice to eat tonight!</p>
<p>This is the worst idea of all time.</p>
<p>Your Uncle Ben used to be a genius.</p>
<p>He'll be fine. BOY: Mom!</p>
<p>WOMAN: What did you do?</p>
<p>You're the one who emotionally crippled the kid.</p>
<p>You know what? Maybe he's retarded.</p>
<p>I'm glad my mother's dead.</p>
<p>He's just having a bad day.</p>
<p>Oh, my gosh.</p>
<p>You want me to be the dean of your college?</p>
<p>No, I want you to pretend to be the dean.</p>
<p>It's just for one day.</p>
<p>Uh, perhaps young Sherman didn't share this with you.</p>
<p>I've retired, I'm no longer a shaper of young minds.</p>
<p>Oh, really?</p>
<p>Yeah, well, technically, he was fired.</p>
<p>That's not true. I got fed up with the education racket.</p>
<p>So I quit.</p>
<p>I did send in my resignation</p>
<p>in a rather unorthodox fashion.</p>
<p>You sent the dean of the university a bag of dog shit.</p>
<p>It was a metaphor. For what?</p>
<p>For &quot;You're full of shit!&quot; Oh.</p>
<p>That's not a metaphor. That's a metaphor.</p>
<p>Oh, semantics, schmantics.</p>
<p>Three years from now, I'm finished with this crap.</p>
<p>I'm goin' to Papua New Guinea. I'm outta here.</p>
<p>Wh-Where... Where you going?</p>
<p>I'm going off the grid.</p>
<p>No more, uh, franchises, no more Botox,</p>
<p>no more &quot;Eh, oh, let's clone another goat.&quot;</p>
<p>And certainly no more ual harassment suits.</p>
<p>What's wrong with saying, &quot;Hey! Nice tits.&quot;</p>
<p>When did that go out the window?</p>
<p>Okay, Ben, all I'm asking you</p>
<p>is just shake a couple hands with some parents,</p>
<p>say, &quot;Hi, I'm the dean,&quot; whatever.</p>
<p>What if we pay you?</p>
<p>Don't sully my dignity with your cash.</p>
<p>There you are! Did you make another child cry?</p>
<p>It's not my fault the kid's a crybaby! Little dipshit.</p>
<p>You're an asshole! You're an asshole.</p>
<p>You are an asshole. And you're fired.</p>
<p>Perhaps it is time to move on.</p>
<p>But I get to bring my house.</p>
<p>Deal.</p>
<p>Right or left? Right.</p>
<p>Whose right? Your call.</p>
<p>You're an idiot! You're upset.</p>
<p>Go with what you feel.</p>
<p>You got about 12 feet.</p>
<p>(CRASHING)</p>
<p>Perfect.</p>
<p>Asshole.</p>
<p>RORY: Okay, smiles, everyone.</p>
<p>First day at college.</p>
<p>What's up with these colors? Shit brown? Really?</p>
<p>Glen picked 'em. Of course he did.</p>
<p>Where'd you find all these people?</p>
<p>Uh, I volunteer at an English-as-a-second-language program.</p>
<p>These are my students. I told them if they wanted to pass,</p>
<p>they'd have to successfully assimilate</p>
<p>into the American college environment.</p>
<p>Whoa! The parents are here!</p>
<p>Okay! We're on, guys!</p>
<p>Okay, people, it's showtime!</p>
<p>DIANE: Wow.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: No frills around here. DIANE: Oh, none at all.</p>
<p>None of that, uh, that ivy, or gargoyles, or mahogany, it's the real deal.</p>
<p>The real deal, huh?</p>
<p>This is it, kid. This is it.</p>
<p>The big moment. Take this in. Ah.</p>
<p>It's exciting, it's scary.</p>
<p>It's really scary. Oh, look! Oh, it looks great.</p>
<p>Okay.</p>
<p>LIZZIE: What's going on here?</p>
<p>Okay, we lost one of the campers.</p>
<p>Curious campers.</p>
<p>What are you doing? Don't do that. Don't do that.</p>
<p>(GROWLING PLAYFULLY) Honey.</p>
<p>Take it easy. Okay, here we are. Let's...</p>
<p>(ELECTRICAL BUZZING)</p>
<p>What the devil is that? Oh.</p>
<p>That's just a surge of collegiate energy.</p>
<p>It's college for you.</p>
<p>Take a left up here for the dorm room, Dad.</p>
<p>Oh, uh, can you hang on a second?</p>
<p>I just really gotta go to the bathroom a minute, you know.</p>
<p>Oh, Jesus Christ. I just wanna...</p>
<p>No, no, no, no, no!</p>
<p>Uh, it's, that's, it's the men's room.</p>
<p>You can't go in there.</p>
<p>Well, can't you just stand outside...</p>
<p>Diane, can't you wait till we get to the restaurant?</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Hey, I'll see you, Rasheed. I'll see you in math class.</p>
<p>You owe me 30 bucks, by the way.</p>
<p>You jokester.</p>
<p>Here we are. You remember Hands. Hey, Mrs. Gaines.</p>
<p>Hey, hi. The fam.</p>
<p>You look great. Well, thank you.</p>
<p>When I first saw it, I was like, I gotta live here?</p>
<p>I can't believe this. But it's a dorm room.</p>
<p>Mr. Gaines. Daryl, how are you, partner?</p>
<p>Oh, thunder grip.</p>
<p>Why are there bars on the window?</p>
<p>Oh, that's so nobody accidentally gets thrown out.</p>
<p>It's fine. It's a good learning environment.</p>
<p>Not a lot of extras. You'll study harder.</p>
<p>Yes. We will, because of the blue and the sparse walls.</p>
<p>I agree with you, sir.</p>
<p>What are these?</p>
<p>That's in case of an earthquake.</p>
<p>Uh, never mind that. Hey, let's go meet the dean.</p>
<p>Huh? The dean.</p>
<p>Come here, honey. Come on.</p>
<p>(CHATTERING)</p>
<p>DIANE: Which way? Take a right there, Mom.</p>
<p>It's gonna be fun.</p>
<p>You know, a lot of people say</p>
<p>that college is the time when young men and women</p>
<p>expand the way that they look at their world,</p>
<p>when they open their minds to new ideas and experiences</p>
<p>and when they begin that long journey</p>
<p>from the innocence of youth</p>
<p>to the responsibilities of adulthood.</p>
<p>Now isn't that a load of horseshit?</p>
<p>(GUFFAWING)</p>
<p>(TITTERING)</p>
<p>W-What?</p>
<p>Could you explain that to us a little more?</p>
<p>Uh, Dean Lewis, why don't you tell them</p>
<p>a little bit about the philosophy here at South Harmon?</p>
<p>Look, we throw a lot of fancy words in front of these kids,</p>
<p>in order to attract them to going to school,</p>
<p>in the belief that they're gonna have a better life.</p>
<p>And we all know that all we're doing</p>
<p>is breeding a whole new generation</p>
<p>of buyers and sellers.</p>
<p>Buyers and sellers!</p>
<p>Pimps and whores. Pimps and whores!</p>
<p>And indoctrinating them into a life-long hell of debt and indecision.</p>
<p>I... Um...</p>
<p>l... I just don't understand.</p>
<p>Do I have to spoon-feed it to you?</p>
<p>Look, there's only one reason</p>
<p>that kids want to go to school.</p>
<p>Holy shit.</p>
<p>Which is?</p>
<p>To get a good job.</p>
<p>To get a good job, with a great starting salary.</p>
<p>I couldn't agree more.</p>
<p>(SIGHING)</p>
<p>It is so refreshing to have somebody</p>
<p>approach education so rationally.</p>
<p>Fuckin' A!</p>
<p>(KNUCKLES CRACKING) Well, Dad. Ow.</p>
<p>(MOANS)</p>
<p>Oh, Mom.</p>
<p>You make us proud, kiddo.</p>
<p>I'll try, Dad.</p>
<p>Don't worry about anything, okay?</p>
<p>Bye, honey. Seat belts.</p>
<p>Spread your wings.</p>
<p>I'm gonna fly. You gotta let me fly.</p>
<p>Bye, Lizzie. Bye!</p>
<p>Bye!</p>
<p>(SIGHS)</p>
<p>So what do we do now?</p>
<p>Well, my friend, we're in college now.</p>
<p>We can do whatever we want.</p>
<p>Gotta hand it to you, B.</p>
<p>Kids everywhere are busting their ass in the classroom,</p>
<p>and we're killing aliens, dude.</p>
<p>This is way better than learning. We are learning here, pal.</p>
<p>We're learning the dire cost to civilization when diplomacy fails.</p>
<p>We're learning political science right now.</p>
<p>(LOUD KNOCKING AT DOOR)</p>
<p>What the... What the hell is that?</p>
<p>(KNOCKS FASTER)</p>
<p>Who is it?</p>
<p>ABERNATHY: Abernathy Darwin Dunlap, sir.</p>
<p>Hi, there!</p>
<p>What's your name?</p>
<p>My name's Abernathy Darwin Dunlap.</p>
<p>But you could call me A.D.D.,</p>
<p>on account of the fact that I have A.D.D.,</p>
<p>which is Attention Deficit Disorder and you know,</p>
<p>everyone used to think it was just an addiction to sugar when I was six,</p>
<p>and my mom used to cry because she thought I would never be,</p>
<p>like, a fully functioning member of society,</p>
<p>like my neighbor who has Legionnaire's Disease.</p>
<p>Oh...</p>
<p>This is no longer a mental health facility.</p>
<p>I'm so sorry we can't help you.</p>
<p>Good luck to you, pal. (YELLING) I don't need a hospital!</p>
<p>Okay, okay, wh-wh-what are you doing here, then?</p>
<p>Well, unless I misread the website,</p>
<p>I'm here for orientation!</p>
<p>Oh, you scared me for a second. In more ways than one.</p>
<p>Uh, you're looking for Harmon College,</p>
<p>it's just right on up the hill.</p>
<p>But good luck, have fun. Go, Harmon.</p>
<p>No! I'm looking for South Harmon Institute of Technology</p>
<p>because, well, it's the only place I got accepted</p>
<p>and I'm looking to pursue my degree in English</p>
<p>or law or animal husbandry or anything really!</p>
<p>Did you just say you got accepted here?</p>
<p>Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, we all did.</p>
<p>What?</p>
<p>Look at all the lonely people</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>Look at all the lonely people</p>
<p>Oh, God. Holy balls.</p>
<p>I'm sorry.</p>
<p>BOY: Move, fool.</p>
<p>Oh, look, there's my old girlfriend, Sara Pelfan.</p>
<p>You broke my heart!</p>
<p>(WHIMPERING) Please.</p>
<p>Oh, uh, sorry, sorry. No parents allowed past this point.</p>
<p>It's part of our philosophy here at South Harmon.</p>
<p>We need to mold your kids into individuals,</p>
<p>and the first step is to</p>
<p>(WHISTLES) sever the ties of the parent-child relationship.</p>
<p>Take him.</p>
<p>We're just glad Larry got in someplace.</p>
<p>He's your problem now.</p>
<p>Bye, hon. No biting!</p>
<p>Hey, Larry.</p>
<p>Okay, good talk. Go on in there.</p>
<p>You're gonna fit right in, Larry. Unfortunately.</p>
<p>What are we gonna do?</p>
<p>This is supposed to be a secret.</p>
<p>Yeah, well, I guess the secret's out.</p>
<p>You go check the P.O. Box, I'm gonna go find Schrader, okay?</p>
<p>Hey, pledge guy, welcome to B.K.E. House.</p>
<p>Can I take your blazer for you?</p>
<p>Get in there, your future is right in there.</p>
<p>Thank you. All right.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Oh, shit.</p>
<p>GIRL: Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry. Sorry.</p>
<p>Bartleby. Hey, how are you? Hey, how you doing?</p>
<p>Good. I'm so sorry about your jacket.</p>
<p>Dude, don't worry about it. It's... It's not even my jacket.</p>
<p>Perfect. So, what are you doing here?</p>
<p>I'm, I'm looking for Schrader, actually. Have you seen him?</p>
<p>Uh, no, I haven't.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm Sherman Schrader.</p>
<p>I'll catch up with you.</p>
<p>Hey.</p>
<p>I'm Sherman Schrader. Okay.</p>
<p>This is fun. I'm just gonna hang back</p>
<p>while you guys shoot around and stuff, you know.</p>
<p>Oh, shit.</p>
<p>I got it.</p>
<p>(EXCLAIMS)</p>
<p>Oh. That's a... It's a G chord.</p>
<p>I used to play in a Cranberries tribute band.</p>
<p>Uh, we disbanded.</p>
<p>Hey, you're Sherman Schrader. Yeah.</p>
<p>Hoyt Ambrose. Yes, right. I know.</p>
<p>Yes. You are the president of this whole fraternity.</p>
<p>That's right. Right. You date Monica Moreland.</p>
<p>That I do. Right.</p>
<p>I think about her when I masturbate.</p>
<p>(COUGHS)</p>
<p>What? What?</p>
<p>(MUMBLING)</p>
<p>I didn't mean to say that.</p>
<p>Yeah. So, uh, Sherman's father pledged alongside my father back in the day.</p>
<p>Oh, so you're the legacy.</p>
<p>That's right. Legacy!</p>
<p>You need... You probably need this to play, actually.</p>
<p>Was it here?</p>
<p>Uh, was it there? Was it...</p>
<p>So... So do you go to school here now, or...</p>
<p>I don't. Uh, I go to South Harmon.</p>
<p>Did you say South Harmon?</p>
<p>Yes, I did.</p>
<p>Oh, what's that? Hmm?</p>
<p>Wha-What's South Harmon?</p>
<p>South Harmon is... It's a college,</p>
<p>just a very small college. Teeny, tiny college.</p>
<p>That's great. Well, congratulations to you. Thank you.</p>
<p>Hey, sweetie. Hey!</p>
<p>Oh, my gosh, I was so excited for you...</p>
<p>Actually, can you just give me just one sec, okay? Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey, winner, Hoyt Ambrose.</p>
<p>(LAUGHS) Floyd Pambrose.</p>
<p>That's weird. Our names rhyme.</p>
<p>Yeah, that is pretty weird.</p>
<p>That's kind of crazy. Welcome to B.K.E.</p>
<p>Thanks. It's great. I love it here.</p>
<p>All the ually repressed energy. Oh.</p>
<p>I love it. A lot of anti-Semitism, but under the rug, you know.</p>
<p>I like it, I like the way you handle your business.</p>
<p>Thanks. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Well, hey, why don't you just hang around and meet some guys?</p>
<p>Oh, no, thanks, man, I'm not into guys.</p>
<p>I totally respect your lifestyle choice, though. And good luck with it.</p>
<p>Your parents probably don't get it, but I do.</p>
<p>I'll see you later, Monica. Bye. It was good to see you.</p>
<p>I'll see you later, Thor. I mean Dirk.</p>
<p>Uh, I mean Trent. Sorry, Troy.</p>
<p>Whoop, sorry, Goldie.</p>
<p>Schrader, where you been? I've been calling you for half an hour.</p>
<p>What the hell, man? I'm in the middle of rush.</p>
<p>I don't care, man. I got a situation goin' on.</p>
<p>This is huge for me, all right?</p>
<p>You can't be here right now. Okay, okay, okay.</p>
<p>Remember that time we had to steal my mom's birth control pills?</p>
<p>Yeah, and then Lizzie was born. It's worse than that.</p>
<p>SCHRADER: Where did these people come from?</p>
<p>Oh, from the chaos catalog. They were going out of business.</p>
<p>What is happening? I'll tell you what's happening.</p>
<p>I told you to make the website look legitimate, not functional.</p>
<p>Hey, you wanted to fool your dad. And the guy's not an idiot.</p>
<p>And, also, it was your idea to put &quot;Acceptance is just one click away.&quot;</p>
<p>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Put it as one click away, you don't make it clickable.</p>
<p>RORY: Oh, my... SCHRADER: Holy shit.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>They all paid first semester's tuition?</p>
<p>Oh, yeah. 10,000 bucks apiece.</p>
<p>I stopped counting after the first 100 checks.</p>
<p>That's $74,000,000.</p>
<p>It's $1,000,000, Glen.</p>
<p>Yeah. In human dollars.</p>
<p>Okay, okay, okay. We gotta do something.</p>
<p>Hey, don't look at me. Ask one of the founding fathers.</p>
<p>HANDS: B?</p>
<p>This isn't my deal, man.</p>
<p>I told you this was a bad idea from the get-go.</p>
<p>True.</p>
<p>We could have a Battle Royale.</p>
<p>Wow. What is that?</p>
<p>B, you gotta tell these people to go home.</p>
<p>You are absolutely right, my friend.</p>
<p>I started this, I'm gonna finish it.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>My name's Bartleby. Hello.</p>
<p>Um, Gaines, for what it's worth.</p>
<p>And, um, you know on the website how it said,</p>
<p>&quot;Acceptance is just one click away&quot;?</p>
<p>Do you remember that?</p>
<p>We had intended... Hold on.</p>
<p>We added that because we were... Aw, shit.</p>
<p>Yeah, okay, what... I'm sorry. What... What... What do you want?</p>
<p>When I got accepted here,</p>
<p>it was the first time my parents ever said they were proud of me!</p>

<p>Everybody. Uh, okay.</p>
<p>And how many of you got in to the other places you applied to?</p>
<p>Nobody.</p>
<p>Nobody got in anywhere else?</p>
<p>And you know what? I didn't, either.</p>
<p>I didn't get into a real college.</p>
<p>A really, really good college.</p>
<p>I know what it's like to be rejected. It sucks.</p>
<p>Rejection blows. Being said no to.</p>
<p>You know what, I'm sorry, you're just not quite good enough.</p>
<p>You didn't have enough extracurriculars.</p>
<p>You didn't play enough tennis.</p>

<p>Do you realize how stupid this is?</p>
<p>You invited everyone to a college that doesn't exist.</p>
<p>L... I just couldn't do it, okay? You saw their faces.</p>
<p>They got rejected from everywhere.</p>
<p>What... What kind of message does that send if I reject them from my college?</p>
<p>You don't have a college!</p>
<p>Hey, hey, hey, where's the bookstore?</p>
<p>Oh, we have a deal with Amazon.</p>
<p>You just buy 'em with a credit card.</p>
<p>When do we sign up for classes?</p>
<p>Uh, we extended orientation. You're fine.</p>
<p>Hey, man, where the heck do we eat around here?</p>
<p>Uh, Glen, uh, 300 pizzas. Order them.</p>
<p>18 pizza pockets. What? No, no, no. 3...</p>
<p>Hey, who do I give my intuition money to?</p>

<p>Okay, uh, l... I guess I'll show you your rooms.</p>
<p>Follow me. Thanks.</p>
<p>Sorry about the wall.</p>
<p>Oh, it's fine. Don't worry about it, man.</p>
<p>It happens all the time. No problem.</p>
<p>Yeah, well, we actually do have a problem</p>
<p>because you don't know how to run a college.</p>
<p>It's fine. It's okay. It's fine.</p>
<p>We'll just relax, get some sleep, we'll regroup tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>It will be totally calm.</p>
<p>(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)</p>
<p>GLEN: Ahoy! Scallywags and scally-ladies.</p>
<p>Okay, dude, B, I'm with you on this, I am.</p>
<p>But we need a plan, dude. We need a plan now.</p>
<p>I know. I know. L... l... l... I'm processing.</p>
<p>(EXCLAIMS)</p>
<p>You're gonna need to process faster.</p>
<p>(CELL PHONE RINGING)</p>
<p>What is... Why are the... Find out what's going on.</p>
<p>Yo! JACK: Ah, there's my college man.</p>
<p>How you doin', kid?</p>
<p>Dad, now is not the... the... the best time to talk.</p>
<p>Hang on, let me get your mother.</p>
<p>Can I have this? HANDS: Come here, let me talk to you.</p>
<p>Diane, pick up! Honey! Is it you?</p>
<p>Stop yellin' in the damn phone.</p>
<p>Oh, it feels like ages since we've spoken to you.</p>
<p>How's school so far?</p>
<p>Oh, it's going great. It's going really...</p>
<p>Hey, someone here order two dozen kegs?</p>
<p>The... The... The old guy with the hat, playing craps.</p>
<p>JACK: What the hell was that?</p>
<p>Sounded like he said something about two dozen kegs.</p>
<p>Bartleby, are you experimenting with alcohol?</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Aw, no, no, no. He said two dozen eggs, Mom.</p>
<p>You misunderstood. Two dozen eggs.</p>
<p>What took you so long?</p>
<p>I've been building a thirst over there!</p>
<p>Hey, listen, I'm not paying for you to be making omelets up there.</p>
<p>JACK: Tell me what classes you're taking.</p>
<p>Classes?</p>
<p>Uh, right. I'm taking...</p>
<p>(WHOOPING)</p>
<p>Statistics.</p>
<p>And, uh, business</p>
<p>and anatomy.</p>
<p>JACK: Anatomy? DIANE: Anatomy?</p>
<p>BOY: Thanks, dude.</p>
<p>JACK: Bartleby, Bartleby!</p>
<p>Yeah!</p>
<p>(STATIC O VER PHONE)</p>
<p>Hey. I always wanted to go to college.</p>
<p>Couldn't get in anywhere, though,</p>
<p>'cause I was in the military.</p>
<p>Oh. Beverage ops.</p>
<p>I was snooping around, saw something secretive.</p>
<p>Next thing I know CIA swoops in,</p>
<p>does this whole brain-scramble thing.</p>
<p>Now I can't remember anything.</p>
<p>So do you have room at the college for me?</p>
<p>You know what, we already started the semester, I'm sorry.</p>
<p>That's cool, man. Yeah.</p>
<p>It's just l... I got my GI Bill,</p>
<p>and I can pay you all four years in advance.</p>
<p>Okay, you're in. (LAUGHING) Yeah!</p>
<p>Yeah, welcome to South Harmon. Whoo-hoo!</p>
<p>(SPLASH)</p>
<p>How's the processing?</p>
<p>I just have to figure this whole college thing out.</p>
<p>COUNSELOR: Here at Harmon College, we offer a highly structured,</p>
<p>time-tested curriculum carefully designed to stimulate the young mind.</p>
<p>So, Mr. Gaines, you're thinking about transferring?</p>
<p>I don't know about transferring.</p>
<p>My life is kind of, like, a little weird right now.</p>
<p>But I just kind of want to figure out</p>
<p>what all this is all about.</p>
<p>(THUDDING) Sorry.</p>
<p>A-And what college are you attending right now? Sorry?</p>
<p>The college that you're... (MUMBLING) Oh, it's down there. By the thing.</p>
<p>Pardon me?</p>
<p>I'd like to look around, if that's okay. Uh, that's fine.</p>
<p>If that's what you'd like to do.</p>
<p>Thank you. It was... It was, uh, it was great to meet you.</p>
<p>(CLATTERING) Oh, shit. Sorry.</p>
<p>That's all right. No. You know what? Leave them, leave them alone.</p>
<p>Leave it, leave them alone.</p>
<p>And go on and take your tour, okay?</p>
<p>A single rate of income tax eliminates loopholes,</p>
<p>allowances and exemptions</p>
<p>as well as encourages payments</p>
<p>through use of low interest rates,</p>
<p>which theoretically would cause</p>
<p>an economic boom.</p>
<p>Now if you would refer back... Aw, shit. I'm sorry.</p>
<p>So theoretically what I was saying was...</p>
<p>This guy's pretty boring.</p>
<p>Don't talk to me, man! Right, this is gonna be on the midterm.</p>
<p>And my whole life is riding on an A in this class.</p>
<p>Sunday morning I'm waking up</p>
<p>This guy's... EBITA!</p>
<p>What?</p>
<p>Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Amortization.</p>
<p>Where do I start? Where do I begin?</p>
<p>TEACHER: Good afternoon, students,</p>
<p>and welcome, everyone in the spillover class.</p>
<p>What the... What is this?</p>
<p>We'll begin today's lecture...</p>
<p>(MUMBLING)</p>
<p>GIRL: Okay, great, yeah. I'll see you in the library at 8:00.</p>
<p>And I'll bring my notes. MONICA: Okay, see you then.</p>
<p>GIRL: Bye, Monica.</p>
<p>(STUDENTS CHATTERING)</p>
<p>Monica. Hey.</p>
<p>Bartleby. Hey, what, are you stalking me or something?</p>
<p>Stalking's an ugly word.</p>
<p>I like to think of it more like obsessively shadowing. Oh.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about going here, so I'm checking out the classes.</p>
<p>Really? Yeah. Do you like all your classes?</p>
<p>Yeah. I mean, well, I'm taking a bunch of classes</p>
<p>that I don't really care about.</p>
<p>There was this one, though, that I was dying to take.</p>
<p>But, um, I ended up not being able to. But, you know, it's okay.</p>
<p>What was that one that you wanted to take?</p>
<p>Uh, ph-photography. It's... Really? That's cool.</p>
<p>Yeah. What was the problem?</p>
<p>Well, see, there's this, um, photojournalism class,</p>
<p>but they said it's only for journalism majors.</p>
<p>And then there's this art photography class,</p>
<p>but they said it's for fine arts majors.</p>
<p>So my advisor said it would be best not to take either one, or something,</p>
<p>because certain photography classes</p>
<p>don't apply to a degree in photography.</p>
<p>Wow, that makes, that makes no sense at all.</p>
<p>I know. Um, but I'm really sorry.</p>
<p>I gotta go, I'm gonna be late for my Ancient Roman History class.</p>
<p>It was good seeing you. Bye. Okay. Bye.</p>
<p>Hey, uh...</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: I'm... I'm just saying, I mean, is that what college is?</p>
<p>What were you expecting? A renaissance of the human spirit?</p>
<p>American education is in the shitter.</p>
<p>You know why?</p>
<p>Because people forget the most important rule.</p>
<p>College is a service industry.</p>
<p>A service industry?</p>
<p>As in &quot;serve us,&quot; as opposed to the other way around.</p>
<p>Look, you see all these kids out here?</p>
<p>They all paid to come here.</p>
<p>Right. They all paid for an experience.</p>
<p>What kind of experience?</p>
<p>The hell if I know. I'm not a goddamn mind reader.</p>
<p>Well, maybe I should just ask them.</p>
<p>Welcome to the conversation.</p>
<p>What do I want to learn?</p>
<p>Why are you asking me?</p>
<p>Well, I'm asking you, Glen, because I have a hunch</p>
<p>that no one's ever really asked you that before. Yeah?</p>
<p>Well, I like pancakes and alfalfa sprouts and lemonade.</p>
<p>Okay, you know what, let's appropriate the bulk of this man's tuition</p>
<p>to learning more about the culinary arts.</p>
<p>Huh? Food.</p>
<p>All right. All right.</p>
<p>Rory. What about you?</p>
<p>Ever since nursery school, every single waking moment</p>
<p>of every single day has been scheduled.</p>
<p>So what do I want to do?</p>
<p>Nothing.</p>
<p>Cheap, zen, beautiful. I like it. Hands, what about you?</p>
<p>Summer camp I made a paperweight and won Camp Nagachewy's</p>
<p>coveted woodcarving award and next day,</p>
<p>ran a 4.6 forty and it's been football ever since.</p>
<p>Mmm. Woodcarving, sculpting. Good, something with your hands.</p>
<p>Well, there may be something in there.</p>
<p>You can think about that, and then get back to me. All right?</p>
<p>Schrader, what about you? Well, B, I'm glad you asked, actually.</p>
<p>'Cause since we're going to prison,</p>
<p>I'm gonna learn how to carve a shank out of my toothbrush.</p>
<p>Okay, ha-ha. I'll tell you something, though.</p>
<p>All our lives we've been told what to learn.</p>
<p>Well, today the tide is gonna turn, my friend.</p>
<p>Because today we're gonna ask the customer.</p>
<p>What do I want to learn? What do I want to learn?</p>
<p>What am I interested in studying?</p>
<p>Huh? What?</p>
<p>W-What? Come again.</p>
<p>That's a good question. No, really, come again.</p>
<p>I thought you were supposed to tell us.</p>
<p>Please come again!</p>
<p>I want to meet girls.</p>
<p>Girls. Girls.</p>
<p>Some girls! Uh, girls.</p>
<p>I wanna rock!</p>
<p>(CHUCKLING)</p>
<p>You know, and roll.</p>
<p>Well, as you can probably tell at this point,</p>
<p>is that I really want to learn how to slow things down.</p>
<p>More speed. More vert.</p>
<p>Maybe something with clothes, you know?</p>
<p>Putting them on, taking them off.</p>
<p>I'm really good at that part. You wanna see?</p>
<p>I want to learn how to blow shit up with my mind.</p>
<p>Okay. Well, write it on the board.</p>
<p>Go ahead.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. Okay.</p>
<p>All right. Thank you, smiley.</p>
<p>Pleasure doing business with you.</p>
<p>Yeah, buddy.</p>
<p>(HOLIDAY PLAYING)</p>
<p>Taxes? I'll tell you about that nonsense.</p>
<p>If you're rich, the government'll protect</p>

<p>Ah, cool. Awesome. Thank you, that was great!</p>
<p>I'll see you guys later. Okay, bye.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Just cause</p>
<p>UNCLE BEN: What is learning? It's paying attention!</p>
<p>It's opening yourself up to this great big ball of shit that we call life!</p>
<p>And what's the worst thing that can happen? You get bit in the ass!</p>
<p>Well, let me tell you, my ass looks like hamburger meat,</p>
<p>but I can still sit down!</p>
<p>(ALL CHEERING)</p>
<p>I can't believe this is a class.</p>
<p>BOYS: Yeah.</p>
<p>Look what I did.</p>
<p>Ugh. What are those?</p>
<p>I call 'em GlenWads.</p>
<p>They contain every delicious flavor in every single bite. Try one.</p>
<p>I'm not gonna lie to you. They look disgusting.</p>
<p>This shit will get you high on flavor alone.</p>
<p>Glen, I love your Wads. Hmm.</p>
<p>Glen.</p>
<p>This is like the most... Literally the most incredible thing I've ever eaten.</p>
<p>Heads up, bro.</p>
<p>Whoa.</p>
<p>And it's so easy to swallow. Mmm. Wow, Glen.</p>
<p>Uh, excuse me. Thanks, buddy. Sure.</p>
<p>Hey, how's it going? Hey.</p>
<p>Can I help you with something?</p>
<p>Aren't you that guy?</p>
<p>No, I don't think so.</p>
<p>You're not? I'm not what?</p>
<p>I saw you at rush. What are you doing here?</p>
<p>I'm eating a Wad, man. What are you doing here?</p>
<p>Wait... wait, let me guess.</p>
<p>You want me to sign your petition</p>
<p>banning minorities from your yacht club. No?</p>
<p>I am the chairman, actually,</p>
<p>of the Student Community Outreach Committee at Harmon College.</p>
<p>Ah! That was my next guess. My next guess.</p>
<p>That sounds very important.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, it is! That's why I said it.</p>
<p>And Harmon wants to buy this property,</p>
<p>so do you know where I could find the lease holder?</p>
<p>I do.</p>
<p>Well, could you tell me?</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, I could. I could, Gunther.</p>
<p>Okay, well, are you going to tell me?</p>
<p>No. I'm not gonna tell you. I will tell you this.</p>
<p>The lease holder's not interested in relocating at any point.</p>
<p>So thanks for asking, and have a good day.</p>
<p>And enjoy the game show that you host. Bye-bye.</p>
<p>Oh, look out.</p>
<p>Open it.</p>
<p>Ah. Thank you for coming by.</p>
<p>Have a good day. I'm gonna go enjoy my Wad.</p>

<p>UNCLE BEN: Harmon Gateway, my ass. Let me tell you something.</p>
<p>That's the kind of group-think mob mentality that's dumbing down America</p>
<p>and flushing your brains down the toilet.</p>
<p>B! We have a problem.</p>
<p>Virgin daiquiri.</p>
<p>And easy on the lime there, Eraserhead.</p>
<p>Comin' right up.</p>
<p>Lizzie. What are you doing here?</p>
<p>You mean I can't swing by and visit my big brother at college?</p>
<p>You are in college, aren't you?</p>
<p>What is that supposed to mean?</p>
<p>Come on, Bartleby. The jig's up.</p>
<p>I'm telling Mom and Dad.</p>
<p>Uh, listen, w-w-what do you want?</p>
<p>$20,000.</p>
<p>What? No way! That's insane. Come on.</p>
<p>I'm not gonna play your little game.</p>
<p>I'm not gonna give you a cent.</p>
<p>How do you like that? How do you like them apples, huh?</p>
<p>Fortunately, Mom and Dad are on speed dial.</p>
<p>Oh. I'll ask them to pick me up here.</p>
<p>Okay, you're gonna call Mom and Dad, sure. Ringing.</p>
<p>You are bluffing with the best.</p>
<p>You're very good, though. I gotta give it to you.</p>
<p>Hi, Mom. Okay, stop it.</p>
<p>Anything you want, not money-related.</p>
<p>Your Razor scooter. Done.</p>
<p>And a fake ID. No! That's ridiculous.</p>
<p>I'm not gonna let you drink.</p>
<p>It's so I can vote, dumbass.</p>
<p>Oh. Okay, deal.</p>
<p>You need a Razor scooter to vote?</p>
<p>What do you mean, they're a college?</p>
<p>They're called the South Harmon Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>The South Harmon Institute of Technology?</p>
<p>What is this, some kind of joke?</p>
<p>No, I don't think it is, sir.</p>
<p>Mr. Ambrose, that is the one building</p>
<p>standing between me and the Van Horne Gateway.</p>
<p>Well, I don't know what to tell you, sir.</p>
<p>Tell me that you're not that naive.</p>
<p>Colleges don't just spring up out of the ground overnight.</p>
<p>You're right. You're right, sir.</p>
<p>I know I'm right!</p>
<p>All right, don't worry. I'll... I'll figure a way to get them out of there.</p>

<p>Yeah, this is a new pilot program.</p>
<p>See, the administration wanted us to create our own classes,</p>
<p>so we just, uh, write 'em on the board.</p>
<p>Really? Yeah.</p>
<p>Wow, that's so cool, B.</p>
<p>Hey, why don't you sign up for one? No, no.</p>
<p>Come on. Sign up for one. No. No, Bartleby, no.</p>
<p>It... It's painless. I insist. Oh, really?</p>
<p>Even if you don't sign up for one you'll go on a fun ride.</p>
<p>Okay.</p>
<p>Just stop me when you see something that you like.</p>
<p>Okay. Oh, I like this one. &quot;Men: The Weaker Sex.&quot;</p>

<p>Every single brother in my fraternity has worn this suit.</p>
<p>President James Garfield wore this suit like a gentleman.</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, and look what happened to him.</p>
<p>He got assassinated by Charles Guiteau.</p>
<p>Don't ask me how I know that.</p>
<p>Do me a favor, ask me about my wiener really quickly.</p>

<p>Yeah, come on, every school's gotta have a paper.</p>
<p>There's a great op-ed piece in there about not believing everything you read.</p>
<p>It's really provocative.</p>
<p>As your de facto consigliere my advice to you is to shut this down immediately.</p>
<p>And my advice to you is to stop worrying</p>
<p>before you spontaneously combust.</p>
<p>Yes, but you can't just do this.</p>
<p>To be a real college,</p>
<p>you have to go through the appropriate legal channels.</p>
<p>You need to be accredited.</p>

<p>You are taking this way too far.</p>
<p>How so? Oh, I don't know, man.</p>
<p>Maybe it's the pool, or the half-pipe.</p>
<p>That's not in the budget. I'm re-investing in their education.</p>

<p>Thank you. Thank you.</p>
<p>(BAND PLAYING LOUD ROCK MUSIC)</p>
<p>Twenty miles from nowhere you're outta gas</p>
<p>But you're keeping your head up</p>
<p>Well, I'm alive in the mystical tower at last</p>
<p>But you're keeping your head up</p>
<p>Is this great or is this great?</p>
<p>It's pretty cool, man, but I gotta go.</p>
<p>The Roaring '20s is B.K. E's biggest party of the year.</p>
<p>And we're recreating the scene from The Untouchables</p>
<p>where Roy, as Bobby De Niro,</p>
<p>crushes my skull with a baseball bat.</p>
<p>Wow, what an incredible honor.</p>
<p>Could you sign a copy of your book for me?</p>
<p>I got it on eBay. They sell my shit on eBay?</p>
<p>You wrote a book? Yeah.</p>
<p>But that was back when I was drinking.</p>
<p>Come on, Glen, you can't keep stringing us along.</p>
<p>Which one of us is it going to be?</p>
<p>You're keeping your head up I know you</p>
<p>You're keeping your head from falling down</p>
<p>(ALL CHEERING)</p>

<p>Hey, ho, let's go</p>
<p>They're forming in a straight line</p>
<p>They're going through a tight wind</p>
<p>The kids are losing their minds</p>
<p>Blitzkrieg bop!</p>
<p>I'm going to have that.</p>
<p>Shut up.</p>
<p>Look, where the hell is everybody at?</p>
<p>You! Hey.</p>
<p>Hey. How are you?</p>
<p>Aw, God, look, where the hell is everybody?</p>
<p>HOYT: This is the biggest party of the year, guys.</p>
<p>Band, hey!</p>
<p>Ah, you want to start playing some music, please?</p>
<p>Hey. GWYNN: Hoyt, hey.</p>

<p>Oh, that son of a...</p>

<p>(DRUMMER PLAYING)</p>
<p>(WHOOPING)</p>
<p>Hey! B, oh, my gosh, that was fantastic.</p>
<p>Aw, my God, you saw that. I'm embarrassed.</p>
<p>I don't know what happened to me.</p>
<p>Someone possessed me, and... and it was the spirit of Johnny Ramone, I think.</p>
<p>B, is there anything that you're not incredibly amazing at?</p>
<p>Yeah, it's funny you should ask.</p>
<p>There are very few things I'm not very good at.</p>
<p>Off the top of my head I can think of spelunking, uh, telekinesis,</p>
<p>not crying at the end of My Girl.</p>
<p>It gets me. And dairy products.</p>
<p>Which is good, because you know I'm not really in the mood</p>
<p>for any dairy products tonight.</p>
<p>Well, let's see if we can get you something else then.</p>
<p>Let's see. All right.</p>
<p>This is my... Oh! MONICA: Ooh!</p>
<p>I'm okay, I'm okay. I keep forgetting this opens out.</p>
<p>It happens all the time, I gotta get used to it.</p>
<p>(LAUGHING) Oh, no.</p>
<p>And this is</p>
<p>Mi casa.</p>
<p>Bartleby, uh, oh, my God, this is amazing!</p>
<p>Huh? It's fine.</p>
<p>I mean, I like it 'cause it's simple, and functional.</p>
<p>Provides a good safe workspace for me to focus on my studies.</p>
<p>(POP MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)</p>
<p>B, this is so cheesy, in the greatest way.</p>
<p>There is nothing cheesy about a clap-on disco ball.</p>
<p>(CLAPS)</p>
<p>Maybe it's a little bit much.</p>
<p>I've wanted one since I was a kid, though.</p>
<p>Wait, is everybody's room at South Harmon this incredible?</p>
<p>Well, at South Harmon you're free</p>
<p>to kind of design your own rooms, you know?</p>
<p>Whatever you're thinking, whatever you're...</p>
<p>And I was thinking clap-on disco ball.</p>
<p>How about that drink? Can I get you a drink?</p>
<p>I would love a drink. All right.</p>
<p>(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)</p>
<p>Ah, touche. Ahh.</p>
<p>Hey, hey, hey</p>
<p>Don't you forget about me</p>
<p>Tell me your troubles and doubts</p>
<p>Give me everything inside and out</p>
<p>Love's strange so real in the dark</p>
<p>Type of thing that we're working on</p>
<p>Slow change may pull us apart</p>
<p>This party's off the hook!</p>
<p>Hey, hey, hey, shut up!</p>
<p>All right. Where is that asshole?</p>
<p>Co-Come on, Bartleby, that was 7th grade.</p>
<p>Yeah, exactly, that was my point.</p>
<p>Well, I will have you know... Oh, now,</p>
<p>now I can't go back to your past, but you can go back to mine.</p>
<p>That Christina Aguilera look did very well for me, thank you very much.</p>
<p>Yeah, you did great, you did great. I know.</p>
<p>I remember you making out with Pete Goochman in Julie Posner's basement.</p>
<p>You were at that party?</p>
<p>Oh, even if I wasn't there, I would have known about it.</p>
<p>It made headline news at school.</p>
<p>And... And... And that day something happened in my life</p>
<p>that I never thought would happen.</p>
<p>I became envious of Pete &quot;The Gooch&quot; Goochman.</p>
<p>Never thought it would happen.</p>
<p>But I was like, &quot;He got to make out with Monica Moreland.&quot;</p>
<p>Well, if you wanted to kiss me so bad in the basement, why didn't you?</p>
<p>Well, 'cause the Gooch beat me to it,</p>
<p>and I was a little shy, and, uh...</p>
<p>Well, you want to kiss me now, don't you?</p>
<p>You look like Carly Simon!</p>
<p>If I could bang one woman in the world it'd be Carly Simon,</p>
<p>and you look like her!</p>
<p>Are you having fun?</p>
<p>I'm having so much fun.</p>
<p>HOYT: Let's go find him. Oh!</p>
<p>Oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit.</p>
<p>(CELL PHONE BEEPING)</p>
<p>Sorry. One sec.</p>
<p>Oh, shit. Uh, I got a situation.</p>
<p>Come, come with me. Okay.</p>

<p>Baby, baby, baby</p>
<p>Hey, have you seen Schrader?</p>
<p>Excuse me.</p>
<p>Shit.</p>
<p>Monica? What are you doing here?</p>
<p>Oh, you know, just picking up my application for transfer.</p>
<p>You're telling me that you're with this guy now?</p>
<p>Actually, Hoyt, um,</p>
<p>I'm telling you it's none of your business.</p>
<p>It's none of my business? Yeah.</p>
<p>Oh, snap!</p>
<p>Hey, Hoyt, let me introduce you to an old friend of mine.</p>
<p>The word &quot;rejection.&quot; She can be a real bitch.</p>
<p>But you don't have to give her roofies.</p>
<p>So you're not gonna like her. Ooh.</p>
<p>You want me to give you something funny to laugh about?</p>
<p>You mean something funnier than your future alcohol abuse?</p>
<p>Battle Royale!</p>
<p>Uh, shit. FRAT BOY: Let's go, guys.</p>
<p>All right, come on, guys. Let's get out of here.</p>
<p>Wow, Monica, you really know how to pick 'em, don't you?</p>
<p>Have fun with these idiots!</p>
<p>Bye-bye. Bye.</p>
<p>Thank you for comin'.</p>
<p>Guys, let's get the music back up! Come on!</p>
<p>Hey, hey, hey, hey</p>

<p>What are you doing here?</p>
<p>I'm your escort.</p>
<p>Induction night, big guy.</p>
<p>B.K.E., B.K.E., brotherhood, brotherhood, you and me!</p>
<p>(WHOOPING) B.K.E., B.K.E. Brotherhood, brotherhood, you and me!</p>
<p>Sherman Schrader, you rock!</p>
<p>Aw, no! You guys rock!</p>
<p>Get ready to be inducted into the brotherhood, you winner!</p>
<p>Yes! I want it! I want everything you guys have. Whoo!</p>
<p>I want lilac shirts! I want visors</p>
<p>kind of tilted to the side, with hair gel coming out of it.</p>
<p>I want to have  with girls that look like this!</p>
<p>You rock! I know I do!</p>
<p>You do, yeah, you do.</p>
<p>SCHRADER: Do I get hair gel now, or do I have to go and buy my own?</p>
<p>Did you crack him?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>We'll crack him.</p>
<p>Sherman, do you know how long that this fraternity has survived?</p>
<p>Yes, sir.</p>
<p>153 majestic years, sir.</p>
<p>That is correct. Because it's based on the most sacred principle</p>
<p>that brothers can share.</p>
<p>Trust.</p>
<p>And seriously, bro, I'm... I'm beginning to question</p>
<p>whether or not I can trust you.</p>
<p>'Cause we know you been hanging out with those freaks down at the loony bin.</p>
<p>So with your allegiance being called into question,</p>
<p>I just wanted to ask you just one thing.</p>
<p>Paddle.</p>
<p>That's actually not a question. Shut up!</p>
<p>Are you with them</p>
<p>or are you with us?</p>
<p>Decent party.</p>
<p>Heartbeat Not bad.</p>
<p>Heartbeat</p>
<p>Okay, I'll give you decent.</p>
<p>Don't bother to pack your bags</p>
<p>Or your mask</p>
<p>We won't need them where we're going</p>
<p>(BURPS) Hey, where is Schrader? He should be here for this.</p>
<p>I don't know. I haven't seen him in a couple of days.</p>
<p>I hope he's not sick.</p>
<p>Okay. Quick, quick, quick, everybody say &quot;Cheers&quot;!</p>
<p>Hey, &quot;quick, quick, quick,&quot; get up in here.</p>
<p>No. BARTLEBY: Oh, yes.</p>
<p>Yes, yes, yes. Come over here. Okay.</p>
<p>Gotta up the gorgeous quotient.</p>
<p>Okay. Get ready and now.</p>
<p>ALL: Cheers!</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Schrader.</p>
<p>Schrader, come on, open up.</p>
<p>What are you...</p>
<p>What the hell happened to you?</p>
<p>Nothing. Just a little ritual bonding over at the B.K.E. House.</p>
<p>What? What are you talking about?</p>
<p>They kicked my ass, until I told them all about South Harmon.</p>
<p>Oh, shit.</p>
<p>They took my laptop, the mailing list, everything.</p>
<p>Shit. Man, I'm sorry.</p>
<p>All I ever wanted was a run-of-the-mill college experience.</p>
<p>But not me, right? I can't have that.</p>
<p>Not me!</p>
<p>'Cause I'm too busy getting the shit kicked out of me</p>
<p>and being an accomplice to fraud!</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Does the run-of-the-mill college experience</p>
<p>include stripping you of your dignity?</p>
<p>Totally humiliating you, making you wear a... a... a frigging hot dog suit?</p>
<p>It's a tradition. A tradition?</p>
<p>Yes. I got a tradition for you.</p>
<p>Schrader, you've been my best friend since we were 5 years old.</p>
<p>That's the only tradition I know.</p>
<p>I just messed up. I really messed up.</p>
<p>How? What happened?</p>
<p>With Schrader.</p>
<p>MAN: I know Bartleby is by the pool.</p>
<p>Oh, my God.</p>
<p>What is it? Cops?</p>
<p>Worse. Parents.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Mom! Dad! Great!</p>
<p>Hey, guys.</p>
<p>Bartleby! Hiya, kid!</p>
<p>Hey, oh, it's so good to see you!</p>
<p>Oh, it's great to see you. Ow. You look thin.</p>
<p>There's five good ones right there for my college boy, huh?</p>
<p>Hey, hey, Dad.</p>
<p>Wha... What... What... What are you doing here?</p>
<p>Well, Parents' Day.</p>
<p>What a wonderful idea on the part of the college, you know?</p>
<p>Yeah. Oh, right.</p>
<p>Parents' Day. Of course.</p>
<p>Hello, everyone. Now, welcome to Parents' Day.</p>
<p>And, uh, we're very glad you could be here.</p>
<p>Um, we have a wonderful guided tour planned</p>
<p>a-around the grounds and the campus,</p>
<p>Show you what we've been working on all year.</p>
<p>So, welcome one and all. VAN HORNE: Excuse me, everyone.</p>
<p>May I have your attention, please?</p>
<p>Oh, shit.</p>
<p>I knew I smelled bacon.</p>
<p>My name is Richard Van Horne.</p>
<p>Oh, Van Horne, yes.</p>
<p>The... The dean of Harmon College, our big sister school.</p>
<p>Give him a round of applause. He's earned it.</p>
<p>Thank you for comin' by. Great to see him here.</p>
<p>They are our big sister school,</p>
<p>and we are honored by their presence.</p>
<p>Thank you for that nice introduction, young man, but the joke is over.</p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen,</p>
<p>South Harmon Institute of Technology</p>
<p>is not the sister school of Harmon</p>
<p>or of anything else, for that matter.</p>
<p>More like cousins. Thank you for coming.</p>
<p>It is not accredited. Any...</p>
<p>Nor is it truly an educational institution.</p>
<p>Is this true, Bartleby?</p>
<p>It is a sham, a fraud,</p>
<p>that undermines the efforts of real colleges everywhere,</p>
<p>and I invite you to confirm that</p>
<p>with the State Board of Accreditation.</p>
<p>To all those students who have been duped,</p>
<p>good luck applying to schools next year.</p>
<p>And to Mr. Gaines I say you will be hearing from our attorneys.</p>
<p>Wow, Parents' Day. Man, I wish I would have thought of that.</p>
<p>Oh, that's right, I did.</p>
<p>Oh, and by the way,</p>
<p>if you, uh, if you see that lease holder of yours,</p>
<p>will you tell him that his lease automatically breaks</p>
<p>when he's found guilty of fraud?</p>
<p>Cool. Thanks, D.</p>
<p>Er, was it G?</p>
<p>That's right, it's F. See you, F.</p>
<p>Guys, I can explain. Mmm-mmm.</p>
<p>You have done some stupid things in your life, Bartleby,</p>
<p>but this...</p>
<p>You get your stuff together. You meet us in the car.</p>
<p>This is unconscionable.</p>
<p>STUDENT: Ridiculous.</p>
<p>Hey.</p>
<p>So,</p>
<p>none of this was real?</p>
<p>That's not true.</p>
<p>Wait, Monica. Monica, wait.</p>
<p>Monica.</p>
<p>Sorry, man.</p>
<p>It's cool. We tried.</p>

<p>Have you completely lost your mind?</p>
<p>Guys, the state defines a college as a body of people</p>
<p>with a shared common purpose of a higher education.</p>
<p>Well that's us, isn't it?</p>
<p>I mean, you know, with the word &quot;higher&quot; kind of loosely defined.</p>
<p>Uh, yeah. He's completely lost his mind.</p>
<p>No, no. Listen, all we have to do</p>
<p>is go before the state accrediting board,</p>
<p>with a licensed administrator, and just present our case.</p>
<p>B, look, let's just cut our losses, okay?</p>
<p>What are we talking about here, huh?</p>
<p>We're talking about a stupid piece of paper.</p>
<p>I mean, if a stupid piece of paper</p>
<p>is what's gonna make us acceptable,</p>
<p>then let's go for it. Why not?</p>
<p>'Cause you gotta remember, it's not just about us anymore, okay?</p>
<p>It's about everyone who went to South Harmon.</p>
<p>(CLAPPING)</p>
<p>Ah, great speech.</p>
<p>I was inspired, I felt inspired by it.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, I'm... I'm taking it on tour.</p>
<p>What are you doing here?</p>
<p>Aw, I don't know. I had... I had to pick up some stuff.</p>
<p>Some sage. Eggplant. Olive oil. Some Funyuns.</p>
<p>Wait a minute.</p>
<p>Come on!</p>
<p>You're the one that applied for accreditation, aren't you?</p>
<p>Well, someone had to do it, you know?</p>
<p>We all can't live with our heads up our asses.</p>
<p>I disagree. L... I don't get it, man.</p>
<p>You said you didn't wanna be a part of this thing.</p>
<p>I didn't want to have anything to do with it.</p>
<p>I wanted to be the fourth generation of Schrader to go to Harmon.</p>
<p>But then I realized,</p>
<p>I would much rather be the first generation of Schrader</p>
<p>to go to the South Harmon Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>I said it, okay? I said it.</p>
<p>So you're saying,</p>
<p>you're saying you want to be a S.H.I.T. Head?</p>
<p>I'm sayin' I want to be a S.H.I.T. Head.</p>
<p>I wanna be a S.H.I.T. Head.</p>
<p>Yeah, man, well, it's good to have you back, buddy.</p>
<p>Yes. Yeah!</p>
<p>Yay!</p>
<p>All right, so we're doing it.</p>
<p>Thanks to this S.H.I.T. Head, we got a hearing set for Friday.</p>
<p>Don't sweat it, kid. I'm all over it.</p>
<p>All right, please remember, Ben, this is serious, all right?</p>
<p>If this doesn't work, I'm going to prison.</p>
<p>Oh, don't worry, you're young. Your butt can take it.</p>
<p>Hello, sir. Um, we're from South Harmon.</p>
<p>We have a 3:00 in Hearing Room A.</p>
<p>Okay, actually your meeting room's been changed to the Grand Hall.</p>
<p>Why the change? It's bigger.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: How did they... SCHRADER: Rory called them.</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: The whole school?</p>
<p>I had to do something.</p>
<p>This meeting of the State Board of Education will come to order.</p>
<p>Today we'll be hearing the case for accreditation</p>
<p>for the South Harmon Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>Your case for accreditation is being contested</p>
<p>by Dean Richard Van Horne,</p>
<p>representing Harmon College.</p>
<p>(STUDENTS BOOING)</p>
<p>(GAVEL POUNDING)</p>
<p>STUDENT: Loser. Loser.</p>
<p>In order to become accredited,</p>
<p>a school must meet three requirements.</p>
<p>You must have a facility, a curriculum and a faculty.</p>
<p>Please state your case.</p>
<p>You're on, kid.</p>
<p>What? Wha... I thought you were gonna handle this. What are you doing?</p>
<p>Rule number one, lead with your star witness.</p>
<p>Nobody knows South Harmon and these kids better than you.</p>
<p>So, it's showtime.</p>
<p>Let's kick some ass.</p>
<p>You're gonna be great, man. Just go do your thing.</p>
<p>Sling some bull.</p>
<p>Oh, God.</p>
<p>Okay.</p>
<p>(CLEARS THROAT) Uh,</p>
<p>ladies and gentlemen of the panel, thank you for meeting with us.</p>
<p>Um, my name's Bartleby Gaines and I'm the co-founder of</p>
<p>South Harmon Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>(ALL CHEERING)</p>
<p>(GAVEL POUNDING)</p>
<p>Sorry. Friends of mine.</p>
<p>Um, I'm... I'm sorry, first of all,</p>
<p>w-what were those three things that you listed?</p>
<p>A facility, a curriculum and a faculty.</p>
<p>Facility, right.</p>
<p>Okay, well, we definitely have a facility.</p>
<p>Uh, we have a common room, we have dorm rooms.</p>
<p>Uh, we have a skateboard ramp.</p>
<p>We got a tiki bar. Umm...</p>
<p>They have leased an old mental hospital.</p>
<p>They have none of the traditional support facilities</p>
<p>or resources.</p>
<p>Mr. Gaines, do you have a formal athletic facility?</p>
<p>Okay, uh, by formal you mean...</p>
<p>No. No, we don't.</p>
<p>A library?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>A health services center? No.</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Your curriculum?</p>
<p>Our curriculum? Yes.</p>
<p>Do you have a course book? A comprehensive list of your available classes?</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, absolutely. Uh, Sunshine. Can you...</p>
<p>(ALL CHEERING)</p>
<p>What is this?</p>
<p>Our curriculum. These are the courses we offer at South Harmon.</p>
<p>This is a joke. &quot;Slacking 101&quot;?</p>
<p>Uh, tell me, Mr. Gaines,</p>
<p>how does one major in bumper stickers?</p>
<p>BARTLEBY: Sir, um...</p>
<p>I'm sorry, Mr. Gaines.</p>
<p>I fail to see any merit</p>
<p>or scholastic value in anything listed on that board.</p>
<p>Okay, uh, guys, you want to help me out here?</p>
<p>In &quot;Taking A Walk and Thinking About Stuff,&quot;</p>
<p>we get to think about what we want to do with our lives</p>
<p>in a stress-free environment.</p>
<p>&quot;Let It Speak To You 202&quot; is an art class in which we discover our talents</p>
<p>by examining our personal life experiences.</p>
<p>In &quot;Skateboarding 234&quot; we built a ramp that teaches us about engineering...</p>
<p>And physics. And aerodynamics.</p>
<p>In &quot;Rock Our Faces Off 222&quot;</p>
<p>we listen to the music and lyrical angst of a lost generation.</p>
<p>And we rock our faces off.</p>
<p>(STUDENTS CHEERING WILDLY)</p>
<p>They do.</p>
<p>Do you have faculty present?</p>
<p>Yes, we do, sir.</p>
<p>Faculty, stand.</p>
<p>What is the meaning of this?</p>
<p>See, at South Harmon, sir, the students are the teachers.</p>
<p>Aw, this is preposterous.</p>
<p>Students are not and cannot be teachers.</p>
<p>CHAIRMAN: Dean Van Horne is right.</p>
<p>You must have a faculty as defined by the state, or you cannot be accredited.</p>
<p>Mr. Gaines, have you employed a faculty or not?</p>
<p>Um...</p>
<p>Present and accounted for.</p>
<p>Oh, for God's sake.</p>
<p>Dr. Alexander, this man has not been a part of academia for three decades.</p>
<p>We were on the faculty together at Harmon in our late 20s,</p>
<p>and he washed out.</p>
<p>He's a drunk, he's a degenerate, and he's looney tunes.</p>
<p>Hey, asshole! You're talking about my mom's brother!</p>
<p>Oh, sit down! Okay.</p>
<p>Hey! Why don't you take your PhD and shove it up your A-S-S?</p>
<p>(STUDENTS JEERING)</p>
<p>(GAVEL POUNDING)</p>
<p>CHAIRMAN: Settle down right this minute!</p>
<p>Dean Lewis! Sit down.</p>
<p>Order!</p>
<p>(GAVEL POUNDING)</p>
<p>Couldn't help myself.</p>
<p>CHAIRMAN: So, is that it, Mr. Gaines?</p>
<p>You have one formal teacher for upwards of 300 students?</p>
<p>Mr. Gaines.</p>
<p>Answer the question.</p>
<p>Nah, I'm not gonna answer your question,</p>
<p>'cause you guys have already made up your minds.</p>
<p>I'm an expert in rejection,</p>
<p>and I can see it on your faces.</p>
<p>And it's too bad that you judge us by the way we look</p>
<p>and not by who we are.</p>
<p>Just because you want us to be more like them</p>
<p>when the truth is we're not like them.</p>
<p>And I am damn proud of that fact.</p>
<p>(STUDENTS CHEERING)</p>
<p>Rock on!</p>
<p>I mean,</p>
<p>Harmon College and their... and their 100 years of tradition.</p>
<p>But tradition of what?</p>
<p>Of hazing kids</p>
<p>and humiliating anyone who's a little bit different?</p>
<p>Of putting so much pressure on kids</p>
<p>they turn into these... these stress freaks and caffeine addicts.</p>
<p>Your phony school demeans real colleges everywhere!</p>
<p>Why? Why can't we both exist? Huh?</p>
<p>You can have your grades, and your rules</p>
<p>and your structure, and your ivory towers,</p>
<p>and then we'll do things our way.</p>
<p>Why do we have to conform to what you want?</p>
<p>Your curriculum is a joke, and you, sir, are a criminal.</p>
<p>You know what? You're a criminal.</p>
<p>'Cause you rob these kids of their creativity and their passion.</p>
<p>(ALL CHEERING) That's the real crime!</p>
<p>Yeah. Maybe he's right.</p>
<p>Well, what about you parents?</p>
<p>Did... Did the system really work out for you?</p>
<p>Did it teach you to follow your heart,</p>
<p>or to just play it safe, roll over?</p>
<p>What about you guys?</p>
<p>Did you always want to be school administrators?</p>
<p>Dr. Alexander, was that your dream?</p>
<p>Or maybe no, maybe you wanted to be a poet.</p>
<p>Maybe you wanted to be a magician or an artist.</p>
<p>Maybe you just wanted to travel the world.</p>
<p>Look, l... l... l... I lied to you.</p>
<p>I lied to all of you, and I'm sorry.</p>
<p>Dad, especially to you.</p>
<p>But out of that desperation, something happened that was so amazing.</p>
<p>Life was full of possibilities.</p>
<p>A-A-And isn't that what you ultimately want for us?</p>
<p>As parents, I mean, is... is that, is possibilities.</p>
<p>Well, we came here today to ask for your approval,</p>
<p>and something just occurred to me.</p>
<p>I don't give a shit!</p>
<p>Who cares about your approval?</p>
<p>We don't need your approval to tell us that what we did was real.</p>
<p>'Cause there are so few truths in this world,</p>
<p>that when you see one, you know it.</p>
<p>And I know that it is a truth</p>
<p>that real learning took place at South Harmon.</p>
<p>Whether you like it or not, it did.</p>
<p>'Cause you don't need teachers or classrooms</p>
<p>or... or fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn.</p>
<p>You just need people with a desire to better themselves,</p>
<p>and we got that by the shitload at South Harmon.</p>
<p>So you can go ahead, sign your forms,</p>
<p>reject us and shoot us down, and do whatever you gotta do.</p>
<p>It doesn't really matter at this point.</p>
<p>Because we'll never stop learning,</p>
<p>and we'll never stop growing,</p>
<p>and we'll never forget the ideals that were instilled in us</p>
<p>at our place.</p>
<p>'Cause we are S.H.I.T. Heads now,</p>
<p>and we'll be S.H.I.T. Heads forever</p>
<p>and nothing you can say or do or stamp</p>
<p>can take that away from us! So go!</p>
<p>(ALL CHEERING ECSTATICALLY)</p>
<p>Go ahead!</p>
<p>CHAIRMAN: Everyone,</p>
<p>please, quiet down.</p>
<p>Everyone, please quiet down.</p>
<p>Quiet down. Please.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Mr. Gaines,</p>
<p>your presentation was unorthodox,</p>
<p>to say the least,</p>
<p>and your methodology is</p>
<p>questionable at best.</p>
<p>However,</p>
<p>the true purpose of education is to stimulate the creativity</p>
<p>and the passions of the student body.</p>
<p>And in that regard you have certainly succeeded.</p>
<p>This board does not reject innovation,</p>
<p>but it must be watched carefully.</p>
<p>Therefore,</p>
<p>the South Harmon Institute of Technology</p>
<p>will be granted a one-year probationary period</p>
<p>in which to continue its experimental programs.</p>
<p>Don't be so quick to judge us by the way we look.</p>
<p>Congratulations.</p>
<p>(ALL CHEERING ECSTATICALLY)</p>
<p>CHAIRMAN: Mr. Gaines?</p>
<p>Trombone.</p>
<p>What?</p>
<p>I wanted to play jazz trombone.</p>
<p>It's never too late, sir.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Hey. Hey.</p>
<p>What are you doing here?</p>
<p>I don't know. There were just a lot of things in my life</p>
<p>that I thought were real that ended up being fake.</p>
<p>So, why can't the opposite be true?</p>
<p>(LAUGHING)</p>
<p>(WHOOPING)</p>
<p>This is not your orientation. This is your disorientation.</p>
<p>You have been orientated for years.</p>
<p>Don't come up to me, go &quot;Where am I gonna get that?&quot;</p>
<p>I'm not interested! You figure it out.</p>
<p>I only wanted big things for you, Bartleby.</p>
<p>I'd say this is pretty big.</p>
<p>Thanks, Dad. Ah!</p>
<p>Thanks, Pop.</p>
<p>Okay, honey, I want you to have a good semester.</p>
<p>Okay, I will. I love you. Lizzie, up top.</p>
<p>(EXCLAIMS)</p>
<p>Wasn't enthusiastic, but I'll take it.</p>
<p>And I appreciate the smile.</p>
<p>Schrads! Hey, no time for chit-chat, my friend.</p>
<p>I'm teaching &quot;Skepticism 401.&quot; Sha-mon!</p>
<p>RORY: At South Harmon, we like to begin each semester</p>
<p>by clearing our minds and doing some deep breathing.</p>
<p>I got 85 pork tenderloins with balsamic vinegar demiglaze. Ka-blam!</p>
<p>Eddie, we gotta pack these paninis for Rory's nature walk.</p>
<p>Pronto!</p>
<p>And someone get a rabbi down here to bless this chicken.</p>
<p>Tomorrow we're gonna go kosher.</p>
<p>HANDS: South Harmon actually allowed me the opportunity</p>
<p>to rediscover my passion for the arts.</p>
<p>So I urge you guys to do the same. Let it come from the heart.</p>
<p>Let it come from inside. And... And let the art speak for itself.</p>
<p>You agree? Watch... Watch the tip.</p>
<p>Excuse me.</p>
<p>(CAMERA CLICKING) Whoa, whoa, whoa.</p>
<p>If you're gonna take my picture, you gotta take it from my good side.</p>
<p>Um, so there wouldn't happen to be anybody around</p>
<p>that could show me to my new dorm room, would there?</p>
<p>As fate would have it, I recall your room being right next to mine.</p>
<p>Really? They're not adjoining though, right?</p>
<p>Oh, no, no, no. That would be totally unacceptable.</p>
<p>And do me a favor. Enjoy your time here.</p>
<p>You got four years, these are the best years of your life.</p>
<p>And then, you're (BEEP).</p>
<p>(STUDENTS LAUGHING)</p>
<p>(BIRDS TWITTERING)</p>
<p>(GASPING)</p>
<p>I told you.</p>
<p>(YOU THINK WE SUCK PLAYING)</p>
<p>(MASH-UP OF MO VIE LINES PLAYING)</p>
