1
00:01:05,624 --> 00:01:07,459
Dad?
2
00:01:07,459 --> 00:01:09,628
Yeah, Pud?
3
00:01:09,628 --> 00:01:10,962
I Can't Go
4
00:01:10,962 --> 00:01:12,831
To Amy's Party.
5
00:01:12,831 --> 00:01:13,732
Why Not?
6
00:01:13,732 --> 00:01:16,151
One Of My Ears Is Bigger
7
00:01:16,151 --> 00:01:18,804
Than The Other One.
8
00:01:18,804 --> 00:01:20,158
Which One?
9
00:01:20,158 --> 00:01:21,706
This One.
10
00:01:21,706 --> 00:01:24,609
Compared To The Other,
This Is Huge.
11
00:01:24,609 --> 00:01:29,714
Yeah, It Is Just A Smidgen
Bit Bigger, That's All.
12
00:01:29,714 --> 00:01:30,849
I Knew It!
13
00:01:30,849 --> 00:01:33,752
The Body Isn't
Perfectly Symmetrical.
14
00:01:33,752 --> 00:01:37,456
Some People Have The Right Leg
Longer Than The Left Leg
15
00:01:37,456 --> 00:01:40,058
Or Right Arm Longer
Than The Left Arm.
16
00:01:40,058 --> 00:01:41,626
I Look At You
17
00:01:41,626 --> 00:01:44,155
And I Can't Tell The Difference.
18
00:01:44,155 --> 00:01:47,150
That's Because You See Me
All The Time.
19
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:50,150
When Someone Else Meets Me,
They Will Say
20
00:01:50,150 --> 00:01:52,804
"Who's That Girl
With One Big Ear?"
21
00:01:52,804 --> 00:01:54,806
I Can't Go To Amy's Party.
22
00:01:54,806 --> 00:01:57,108
People Will Stare At Me.
23
00:01:57,108 --> 00:02:01,150
If You're Worried About It,
There Are Things You Can Do.
24
00:02:01,150 --> 00:02:03,150
You Can Get A Beret.
25
00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:04,549
Pull The Beret
26
00:02:04,549 --> 00:02:06,151
Over To One Ear.
27
00:02:06,151 --> 00:02:10,755
Or You Could Take This Hand
And Be Very Intellectual.
28
00:02:10,755 --> 00:02:12,791
This Is A Serious Problem.
29
00:02:12,791 --> 00:02:15,156
Can You Please Act
Like An Adult?
30
00:02:18,797 --> 00:02:19,965
Okay.
31
00:02:19,965 --> 00:02:22,634
As An Adult, I Will Tell You
32
00:02:22,634 --> 00:02:25,637
That I Don't See The Difference.
33
00:02:25,637 --> 00:02:28,974
And As An Adult, I Will Also
Tell You
34
00:02:28,974 --> 00:02:30,609
That What You Are
35
00:02:30,609 --> 00:02:35,480
Is More Important
Than What Your Ears Look Like.
36
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,151
My Face Is Not
Perfectly Symmetrical.
37
00:02:39,151 --> 00:02:40,952
You See?
38
00:02:40,952 --> 00:02:43,522
Whoa, Dad, You're Right!
39
00:02:44,623 --> 00:02:46,024
What?
40
00:02:46,024 --> 00:02:46,791
Nothing.
41
00:02:46,791 --> 00:02:48,460
You See Something.
42
00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:49,794
What Is It?
43
00:02:49,794 --> 00:02:51,463
Oh, Nothing.
44
00:03:06,157 --> 00:03:07,479
Hey.
45
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,481
What Are You
Looking At?
46
00:03:09,481 --> 00:03:10,815
Look At My Face.
47
00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:13,451
Is My Face
Perfectly Handsome?
48
00:03:13,451 --> 00:03:15,150
Oh, Absolutely.
49
00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:16,788
Oh, Thank You.
50
00:03:16,788 --> 00:03:18,477
Let Me Ask You
A Question.
51
00:03:18,477 --> 00:03:20,670
Let's Say
You Didn't Know Me
52
00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:22,981
And You Were
In The Supermarket
53
00:03:22,981 --> 00:03:25,384
And I Was
In The Supermarket
54
00:03:25,384 --> 00:03:27,386
And I Saw You
And You Saw Me.
55
00:03:27,386 --> 00:03:29,674
Would You Come Over To Me
56
00:03:29,674 --> 00:03:31,190
And Say...
57
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:33,679
You Know... Things?
58
00:03:36,328 --> 00:03:38,630
Why?
59
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:41,366
I Wouldn't Walk Up
To Some Strange Man
60
00:03:41,366 --> 00:03:42,670
And Start Talking.
61
00:03:42,670 --> 00:03:45,337
Okay, Okay, Okay, Okay.
62
00:03:45,337 --> 00:03:47,670
So That's Right,
Absolutely.
63
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:51,678
So Let's Say You're
Over At The Thing
64
00:03:51,678 --> 00:03:56,448
And I Push My Cart
And Rub Up Against Your Cart.
65
00:03:57,674 --> 00:03:59,551
What Would You
66
00:03:59,551 --> 00:04:00,679
Say To Me?
67
00:04:00,679 --> 00:04:05,670
I Would Say That The Supermarket
Is The Place To Meet You
68
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:09,674
Because You're Fresh
And... Ripe.
69
00:04:11,997 --> 00:04:15,167
Then Would You...
70
00:04:15,167 --> 00:04:18,470
Take Me Home And Squeeze Me?
71
00:04:22,675 --> 00:04:26,311
Rebecca Shorter Might Be
A Good Schoolteacher
72
00:04:26,311 --> 00:04:29,675
But She Has No Idea
What She's Talking About.
73
00:04:29,675 --> 00:04:31,675
Who Is
Rebecca Shorter?
74
00:04:31,675 --> 00:04:34,673
She's A Friend
Who Teaches Elementary School.
75
00:04:34,673 --> 00:04:36,989
She Said
Medgar Evers College
76
00:04:36,989 --> 00:04:38,678
Would Be The Perfect School
77
00:04:38,678 --> 00:04:41,326
For Me
To Get My Teaching Degree.
78
00:04:41,326 --> 00:04:44,429
So I Forget About Columbia,
I Drop Everything
79
00:04:44,429 --> 00:04:46,675
And These People At This School
80
00:04:46,675 --> 00:04:49,001
Act Like They Don't
Want Students.
81
00:04:49,001 --> 00:04:51,003
I Go To Sign Up For Classes
82
00:04:51,003 --> 00:04:53,071
And They Want To See
83
00:04:53,071 --> 00:04:54,506
My Hillman Transcript.
84
00:04:54,506 --> 00:04:55,507
These People
85
00:04:55,507 --> 00:04:58,443
Will Only Give Me Credit
For One Course.
86
00:04:58,443 --> 00:04:59,670
Which One?
87
00:04:59,670 --> 00:05:00,675
Archery.
88
00:05:00,675 --> 00:05:02,676
It Had To Be Archery.
89
00:05:02,676 --> 00:05:05,484
I Passed A Lot Of Courses
At Hillman.
90
00:05:05,484 --> 00:05:06,675
But At Medgar Evers
91
00:05:06,675 --> 00:05:10,322
They Tell Me That If You
Transfer From Another School
92
00:05:10,322 --> 00:05:14,393
They Can't Accept Any Grade
Lower Than A "C."
93
00:05:14,393 --> 00:05:16,674
That's Totally Unfair!
94
00:05:16,674 --> 00:05:19,331
I Mean, What Is A "D"?
95
00:05:19,331 --> 00:05:21,567
A "D" Is 70%.
96
00:05:23,675 --> 00:05:27,306
If I Had 70% Of A Pie...
97
00:05:27,306 --> 00:05:30,042
I Mean, That's A Lot Of Pie!
98
00:05:31,977 --> 00:05:34,613
May I See The Transcript,
Please?
99
00:05:34,613 --> 00:05:38,483
Dad, It Hasn't Changed
Since The Last Time You Saw It.
100
00:05:38,483 --> 00:05:39,670
I'm Sorry.
101
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:41,286
I Was Just Hoping.
102
00:05:43,222 --> 00:05:47,492
One "C," Five D's,
And Seven I's For Incomplete
103
00:05:47,492 --> 00:05:51,403
And The "C" Was In Archery.
104
00:05:51,403 --> 00:05:54,316
I Tried To Talk Them Into
Giving Me More Credits
105
00:05:54,316 --> 00:05:57,307
For Life Experience.
106
00:05:57,307 --> 00:06:00,272
Life Experience?
107
00:06:00,272 --> 00:06:01,586
Yes, Life Experience.
108
00:06:01,586 --> 00:06:06,124
I Did Go To Africa For A Year
As A Photographer's Assistant.
109
00:06:06,124 --> 00:06:07,759
That Should Count
For Something.
110
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:09,280
And I'm Raising A Child.
111
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,196
That Is A Big Deal.
112
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,272
Marriage-- That Is
A Tremendous Life Experience.
113
00:06:17,272 --> 00:06:21,573
And I'm Living At Home
With My Parents.
114
00:06:23,575 --> 00:06:26,678
You Want Credit
For That?
115
00:06:26,678 --> 00:06:27,913
Absolutely!
116
00:06:27,913 --> 00:06:31,274
I Am Observing
Domestic Relationships.
117
00:06:31,274 --> 00:06:33,274
People Study That
In College.
118
00:06:33,274 --> 00:06:35,277
I'll Tell You Something Else.
119
00:06:35,277 --> 00:06:38,089
I Should Get Credit
For Failing College
120
00:06:38,089 --> 00:06:40,191
And Wanting To Go Back.
121
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:41,272
Let's Backtrack.
122
00:06:41,272 --> 00:06:42,277
As I Recall
123
00:06:42,277 --> 00:06:45,272
You Marched Into
This Living Room One Day
124
00:06:45,272 --> 00:06:49,100
And Informed Us That You
Were Going To Become A Teacher
125
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,705
As A Result Of A Conversation
You Had With Olivia's Mother.
126
00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:54,739
Yes.
127
00:06:54,739 --> 00:06:57,075
Not Only Do You Want To Teach
128
00:06:57,075 --> 00:07:00,277
But You Want To Teach Children
With Learning Problems.
129
00:07:00,277 --> 00:07:01,913
Life Experience Is Good
130
00:07:01,913 --> 00:07:04,272
But These People Don't Need
Somebody
131
00:07:04,272 --> 00:07:05,917
With Life Experience Only.
132
00:07:05,917 --> 00:07:08,278
They Need Someone
With Special Skills.
133
00:07:08,278 --> 00:07:11,056
I Can't Talk About This Anymore.
134
00:07:11,056 --> 00:07:14,592
I Have To Pick Up Olivia
At Her Preschool.
135
00:07:14,592 --> 00:07:17,696
But It Is Totally Unfair For Someone
136
00:07:17,696 --> 00:07:20,275
Who Has Spent
Three Semesters In College
137
00:07:20,275 --> 00:07:22,667
To Have To Start Over Again.
138
00:07:22,667 --> 00:07:25,272
Don't They Know
I Want To Be A Teacher?
139
00:07:25,272 --> 00:07:27,005
I'm Enthusiastic.
140
00:07:27,005 --> 00:07:29,040
But Do They Care?
141
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,710
No, All They Care About Are C's.
142
00:07:31,710 --> 00:07:35,747
There Are Hundreds Of Children
Who Need A Good Teacher.
143
00:07:35,747 --> 00:07:38,277
And Now They're Not
Going To Get One.
144
00:07:38,277 --> 00:07:41,152
Is Anyone Thinking...
145
00:07:41,152 --> 00:07:44,013
About The Children?
146
00:07:44,013 --> 00:07:47,275
No, All They're Thinking About
Is What I Once Was
147
00:07:47,275 --> 00:07:49,098
Not What I Am Now.
148
00:07:49,098 --> 00:07:53,035
And I Should Be Given Credit For That.
149
00:07:54,283 --> 00:07:56,284
I'll See You Guys Later.
150
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,075

We Have Time For Today,
Boys And Girls.
176
00:08:59,825 --> 00:09:03,284
Tomorrow
We Do The Twos.
177
00:09:03,284 --> 00:09:04,851
Denise:
That Was Great.
178
00:09:04,851 --> 00:09:06,166
Hey!
179
00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:07,441
Do You Hear Me Multiplying?
180
00:09:07,441 --> 00:09:08,902
I Sure Did.
181
00:09:08,902 --> 00:09:14,634
You Have To Meet
Uncle Wilton.
182
00:09:14,634 --> 00:09:17,804
Uncle Wilton, This Is
My Stepmom, Denise.
183
00:09:17,804 --> 00:09:18,651
Hello, Denise.
184
00:09:18,651 --> 00:09:20,114
I Don't Know What To Call You.
185
00:09:20,114 --> 00:09:21,346
Uncle Wilton Is Fine.
186
00:09:21,346 --> 00:09:22,507
That Was Amazing
187
00:09:22,507 --> 00:09:26,860
Seeing These Kids Enjoy Math.
188
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:28,428
If You Make It Fun, They Learn.
189
00:09:28,428 --> 00:09:29,345

How Was Preschool Today?
198
00:09:51,222 --> 00:09:53,393
Mom, Life Is So Funny.
199
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:56,319
I Left Here
Negative And Angry.
200
00:09:56,319 --> 00:09:58,933

Olivia's Preschool

Now That's Learning.
220
00:10:34,936 --> 00:10:36,037

A Man At Her Preschool Teaches
Multiplication By Using Rap.

These Children
Are Eager To Learn.
229

I'm Sure You're Right.
230
00:10:56,657 --> 00:10:59,317
I Don't Have To Work
Within The System.
231
00:10:59,317 --> 00:11:02,830
I Could Just Get Up There
And Do It.
232

There Is No Shortcut
To Becoming A Teacher.
233

Sooner Or Later, You're
Going To Have To Go To College.
234
00:11:10,972 --> 00:11:15,910
Mom, You're Like A Bucket
Of Cold Water.

There's No Easy Way.
240
00:11:25,052 --> 00:11:27,314
I'm Not Looking
For An Easy Way.
241
00:11:27,314 --> 00:11:28,318
I'm Willing
242
00:11:28,318 --> 00:11:30,942

You Do Not Understand.
245
00:11:33,043 --> 00:11:36,898
Paying Dues Is What You Do
After You Spend Years In School

I'm Going To Do.

00:11:58,852 --> 00:12:03,190
Maybe When We Were Making
The Decision To Have That Child
255
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:07,387

Will Work With Them.

I Want To Be His Apprentice.

This Technique Of Uncle Wilton's
304
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,916

327
00:15:06,181 --> 00:15:08,307
To Look At Some Dinosaurs
And Pterodactyls.
328
00:15:08,307 --> 00:15:10,687
Hey.

00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,165
I'm Going
To See Pterodactyls.
333
00:15:17,165 --> 00:15:18,304
Okay, Bye.
334
00:15:18,304 --> 00:15:20,022
Bye-Bye.
335
00:15:20,022 --> 00:15:21,448
Excuse Me, Uncle Wilton?
336
00:15:21,448 --> 00:15:22,262
Yes.
337
00:15:22,262 --> 00:15:24,782
Hi. This Is
My Friend Rebecca Shorter.
338
00:15:24,782 --> 00:15:25,908
She's A Fifth-Grade Teacher.
339
00:15:25,908 --> 00:15:28,543
Hi. I Like
What You're Doing.
340
00:15:28,543 --> 00:15:31,086
Um, Uncle Wilton
341
00:15:31,086 --> 00:15:33,280
I Know I've Only Seen
Your Class Twice
342
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,890
But I Want You To Know That
I've Really Been Affected By It.
343
00:15:36,890 --> 00:15:39,944
I'd Like To Study
With You And Gordon
344
00:15:39,944 --> 00:15:42,301
And Learn Your Techniques
345
00:15:42,301 --> 00:15:44,830
And Pass Them On
To Other Children.
346
00:15:44,830 --> 00:15:47,696
Where Did You Go To College?
347
00:15:47,696 --> 00:15:48,834
Hillman.
348
00:15:48,834 --> 00:15:52,109
Did You Get Your Bachelor's
Or Your Master's Degree?
349
00:15:52,109 --> 00:15:58,656
Oh... Uh, Actually,
I Don't... I Don't Have Either.
350
00:15:58,656 --> 00:16:01,351
I Suggest You Go Back
To College, Get Your Degree
351
00:16:01,351 --> 00:16:02,893
Come Back To See Us.
352
00:16:02,893 --> 00:16:04,553
We'd Love To Have You.
353
00:16:04,553 --> 00:16:08,909
I Need A Degree To Play
The Drums And Rap To Children?
354
00:16:08,909 --> 00:16:11,312
Understand, We Don't
Teach Everything Through Music.
355
00:16:11,312 --> 00:16:14,574
So You Use Traditional
Teaching Methods Also?
356
00:16:14,574 --> 00:16:15,526
Absolutely.
357
00:16:15,526 --> 00:16:17,616
The Music Reinforces
358
00:16:17,616 --> 00:16:19,032
What You've Already
Taught The Children.
359
00:16:19,032 --> 00:16:19,914
You've Got It.
360
00:16:19,914 --> 00:16:21,493
I'd Be A Great Instructor.
361
00:16:21,493 --> 00:16:22,388
I'm Enthusiastic.
362
00:16:22,388 --> 00:16:24,314
I Love To Learn.
363
00:16:24,314 --> 00:16:25,371
I'm Fired Up.
364
00:16:25,371 --> 00:16:26,195
All That's Good.
365
00:16:26,195 --> 00:16:30,770
But To Work With Us,
You Must Have A College Degree.

00:16:30,770 --> 00:16:31,827
Excuse Me, Ladies.
367
00:16:37,469 --> 00:16:39,594
Gosh, All I Want
To Do Is Help Children
368
00:16:39,594 --> 00:16:40,790
And No One Will Let Me.
369
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:42,311
Why Are You
So Hardheaded?
370
00:16:42,311 --> 00:16:43,692
The Man Didn't Say That.
371
00:16:43,692 --> 00:16:45,874
He Said You Have
To Get An Education
372
00:16:45,874 --> 00:16:47,256
To Be Of Help Here.
373
00:16:47,256 --> 00:16:48,737
I Am Ready Now
374
00:16:48,737 --> 00:16:50,806
If Uncle Wilton
Would Work With Me.
375
00:16:50,806 --> 00:16:53,257
Uncle Wilton Has
Enough Children To Work With.
376
00:16:53,257 --> 00:16:54,710
He Doesn't Need One
377
00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:56,254
As Old As You.
378
00:16:56,254 --> 00:16:58,259
Why Don't You Want
To Go To College?
379
00:16:58,259 --> 00:17:00,254
Why Are You Afraid
To Go To College?

I'd Explain It To You,
But It's Kind Of Technical
436
00:18:57,709 --> 00:19:00,480
And You Don't Have
A College Degree.
