{1233}{1257}"In some of the most..."
{1258}{1295}"...brutal fighting"|- Do you believe that...
{1296}{1405}- $1.19 for a pound of bacon?|Just last week it was 99 cents.
{1408}{1462}- There's hardly any lean|meat on there.
{1463}{1526}- Norma, where are my brown socks?|- They're in the dryer.
{1528}{1590}- Wayne! Why don't you have a|little toast with your jelly?
{1591}{1637}- That is so gross.|- Kevin eat your eggs.

{1725}{1803}In nineteen-sixty-nine,|we had the Vietnam war for...

{1868}{1945}I guess it was inevitable that|we stopped paying attention.

{2395}{2468}"Remember, it's your|student council, people."
{2488}{2580}Alright, class.|You heard Mr. Diperna.
{2583}{2688}Let's have nominations for our|home room representative.
{2689}{2737}Home room elections.
{2738}{2780}As a scholastic highlight,
{2780}{2848}it ranked right up there|with "safety week".
{2849}{2921}Alright, then, who wants to be|our representative?
{2922}{2979}Any volunteers?
{3009}{3088}Surely there is someone|in this room...
{3089}{3167}with enough respect|for democracy...
{3168}{3218}to volunteer to be...
{3219}{3309}Our representative|to the student-council.
{3349}{3462}- Kevin?|- Can I go to the bathroom?
{3479}{3521}Is your home room|having elections?
{3522}{3601}Yeah. It's Pretty lame though,|nobody's even running.
{3602}{3657}Yeah. It's kinda cool to be|president or something...
{3658}{3702}but home room rep|is for weenies.
{3707}{3733}Yeah.
{3734}{3829}Alright...|We have one vote for Mr. Ed...
{3830}{3877}- Very funny...
{3879}{3979}And we have four votes|for Ringo Starr.
{4007}{4083}And we have 26 votes,
{4084}{4178}for our new home room|representative...
{4179}{4272}- Who's the weenie?|- Kevin... Arnold.
{4299}{4366}Well, some men pursue|greatness...
{4367}{4424}and some men have greatness|thrust upon them,
{4425}{4452}while they're in the bathroom.
{4453}{4477}- Paul!
{4549}{4599}Kevin, what are you|doing here?
{4602}{4651}They made me|home room representative.
{4651}{4698}- Can ya believe it?|- Yeah, me too.
{4699}{4757}- How'd you get stuck with it?|- I dunno.
{4762}{4829}It was either the balloons...|or the pencils.
{4864}{4917}About an hour into the meeting,|I began to see...
{4918}{4974}the true nature|of student-council.
{4977}{5031}It was basically|organized whining.
{5032}{5077}How come we only have|ice-cream sandwiches...
{5078}{5116}in our ice-cream machine?
{5117}{5177}I mean at Madison,|they have three choices.
{5178}{5226}I think we should|have push-ups.
{5227}{5274}- Drumsticks!|- Pop-sickles!
{5297}{5333}Alright.|Alright.
{5334}{5419}The proposal is to offer|pushups in the ice cream machine.
{5487}{5553}But when it came to the issues|that really mattered...
{5554}{5629}Party lines were crosses, and|everyone rallied their support.
{5630}{5699}I think we should|have a jukebox in the cafeteria.
{5752}{5826}Order, order, order...
{5827}{5907}That's better.|Now, do I have a second?
{6009}{6062}Well, obviously,|you're all in favor.
{6067}{6132}- Well, if there are no more|proposals, we can...
{6142}{6184}Yes, Mark?|What is it?
{6214}{6327}Yeah... I propose we|honor the national moratorium...
{6328}{6393}...next Friday|by organizing a walk out...
{6394}{6492}...to protest the immoral|imperialistic, colonialist...
{6493}{6568}...repression of the Peoples|Republic of Vietnam,
{6569}{6684}...by the running dog lackeys|of the Fascist US Government.
{6722}{6762}Any seconds?
{6812}{6849}- Sorry, Mark...|- It's a chance to make...
{6850}{6897}a real statement against|the war.
{6974}{7039}There'll be marches all|over the country.
{7129}{7209}We'll be walking out|during class.
{7289}{7397}Alright, hold on.|Listen, hey!
{7432}{7480}Now, I don't know|if the student council...
{7481}{7534}...can vote to do|something like this.
{7544}{7579}Mr. Tyler?
{7606}{7635}Mr. Tyler.
{7636}{7697}He was faculty|advisor to the student council,
{7698}{7784}...but more than that|he was our cool teacher.
{7785}{7848}You know the type.|Rides a motorcycle...
{7849}{7911}lets you have class|outside on nice days...
{7912}{7965}Lacks respect for authority...
{7966}{8044}Everybody waited to see,|what Mr. Tyler would say.
{8059}{8184}Like Mr. Diperna says...|this is your student council.
{8216}{8254}All in favor?
{8384}{8441}Don't forget to sign up|for a committee.
{8442}{8481}Meeting is adjourned.
{8531}{8598}- We have to join a committee?|- Yeah, come on!
{8599}{8694}There's school spirit, social,|ice-cream, jukebox, or walk out.
{8695}{8729}So what do you say,|jukebox?
{8756}{8813}No, the line's|too long for jukebox.
{8814}{8889}Well, I'd say social, but|Nancy Cardian's the chairman
{8890}{8940}for that, and|Mrs. Gambino's the advisor.
{8941}{8991}And I can't stand|either one of those, so...
{8992}{9033}I don't know,|maybe ice-cream...
{9034}{9099}- Well, which one is Mr.|Tyler advisor for?
{9121}{9189}I don't know.|Looks like he's doing walk out.
{9199}{9239}Let's do walk out.
{9399}{9446}OK, pick a card,any card.
{9474}{9526}Alright, now look at it|Don't tell me what it is.
{9531}{9554}Put it back.
{9651}{9696}- Hi. What's your name?|- Kevin.
{9697}{9749}Kevin, cut the cards.
{9791}{9814}Good.
{9909}{9936}Is that your card?
{9984}{10011}No.
{10031}{10061}No?
{10089}{10129}Well, wait a minute.
{10159}{10184}Is that it?
{10189}{10211}No.
{10281}{10319}Well...
{10320}{10356}Is that it?
{10396}{10434}How'd you do that?
{10704}{10761}We did card tricks for about|twenty minutes...
{10764}{10826}And then switched to 5-card stud.
{10829}{10911}I couldn't believe it I'd never|known a teacher like this.
{10912}{10950}Mr. Tyler was so cool...
{10951}{11031}You could feel yourself|becoming cooler in his presence.
{11259}{11331}- Alright, Paul, your deal.|- Mr. Tyler?
{11376}{11426}When are we gonna talk about|the walk out?
{11441}{11511}Leave it to Mark Hooper|to spoil a good thing.
{11519}{11556}Well, it's about time.
{11574}{11626}Hey, it's not my meeting.
{11651}{11685}OK, well...
{11686}{11756}I think we should talk about|the walk out.
{11759}{11804}- I think we need a strategy.
{11809}{11919}- OK|- OK, so what do we do first?
{11951}{12026}Well, maybe you should start by,
{12029}{12089}Figuring out how you're gonna|mobilize 800 students...
{12090}{12144}- ...all at the same time.|- Right, right.
{12164}{12190}How do we do that?
{12191}{12249}Well, that's why we have|all these minds here.
{12250}{12276}What do you think, Rusty?
{12277}{12314}Good luck!
{12334}{12390}It's not that Rusty|Drotman was stupid...
{12391}{12491}It's just that he sort of drifted|through life in a purple haze.
{12492}{12573}Wow. Well, we could just...
{12574}{12654}Well, we could just...|Like, you know,
{12679}{12736}I mean,you know, wow.
{12737}{12794}Think, Rusty, think.
{12811}{12881}- Think!|- OK, wait! OK!
{12889}{13004}So... OK, I got it!|We all split up, and...
{13005}{13038}- OK, you can do it.|Come on.
{13039}{13093}And knock on all the homeroom|doors to give 'em the signal.
{13094}{13168}OK, OK, good!|So, so at nine o'clock...
{13168}{13227}We go to all the homerooms,|we mobilize the whole school,
{13230}{13281}and then we march out|on the football field.
{13296}{13366}- Then what?|- "Then what?"
{13376}{13439}Well, I mean, what is|the point of this walk out?
{13469}{13514}How is standing around in a|football field...
{13515}{13589}Going to end the war?|Who's gonna know the difference?
{13616}{13754}- Kevin?|- I-I don't know, unless...
{13786}{13839}Unless we can get on TV,|or something.
{13840}{13873}Or, or in the papers!
{13874}{13911}Yeah, wait, wait!|That's good, that's good!
{13912}{13948}We could use...|we could use the media.
{13949}{13971}- We could...
{13972}{14036}We could write a letter to|Channel 5 and tell them...
{14037}{14079}We could get other schools|to do it too...
{14080}{14113}like Madison and Whitman...
{14114}{14164}Yeah! And we could organize|this whole big thing...
{14165}{14221}Where all the kids|from all the schools...
{14221}{14276}Mr Tyler, could I speak|to you for a moment?
{14459}{14497}About this walk out...
{14509}{14559}- It's gotta be stopped...
{14626}{14724}OK, there is something Mr. Diperna|here would like to say to you.
{14725}{14754}Thank you. Mr. Tyler.
{14799}{14871}I'm afraid that Kennedy junior|high school cannot tolerate...
{14872}{14936}a student-council committee|that encourages students...
{14937}{14981}to violate school rules.
{14984}{15074}Any student participating in|a walk out during school hours...
{15075}{15138}Will be subject to|immediate suspension,
{15139}{15201}and, it will go on your|permanent record.
{15202}{15246}Do I make myself clear?
{15266}{15324}Your permanent record.
{15436}{15500}After the initial shock of|Mr. Diperna's announcement,
{15501}{15564}we did what any teenager|would do when his deepest...
{15565}{15614}convictions are challenged.
{15656}{15686}It's not fair.
{15687}{15716}We whined.
{15759}{15844}- Are we going to do it?|- Well, what do you think?
{15891}{15924}I don't know.
{15946}{15993}I don't want to get suspended|from school...
{15994}{16061}- Sounds pretty smart to me.|- I think we should fight 'em.
{16062}{16086}- Why?
{16089}{16136}Because we should protest the war.
{16174}{16236}Are you guys really|serious about that?
{16251}{16285}Of course we are.
{16286}{16331}Why do you want to|protest the war?
{16332}{16451}Because it's|an Imperialist act by...
{16489}{16521}Mr. Tyler?
{16576}{16666}I'm sorry, Mark. It's funny,|the moment I hear the word...
{16667}{16709}"Imperialist", I go into a coma.
{16721}{16774}Can't you just tell me|in your own words?
{16829}{16901}What about you, Kevin? Why do you|want to protest the war?
{16951}{16999}- I don't know...|- So, you're just...
{17000}{17046}- ...going along with the crowd.|- No.
{17047}{17073}Seems to me|if you don't know why
{17074}{17119}you're doin' somethin',|it can't be worth much.
{17149}{17191}Mr. Tyler was right.
{17192}{17233}I felt like an idiot.
{17234}{17293}What did I really know|about the Vietnam war?
{17294}{17369}I wasn't even sure if|"Vietnam" was one word or two.
{17370}{17456}Is it that you think|all wars are wrong?
{17476}{17533}Well yeah!
{17534}{17591}So, you think, nothing's|worth fighting for?
{17631}{17711}- Well, no I mean|- Well, then, how can you sure...
{17712}{17741}we should end this war?
{17759}{17849}Well, it's like, a lot of|people are getting killed.
{17881}{17981}You know, like, little kids, and|their whole families and stuff.
{18006}{18059}And people from over here|who are fighting,
{18081}{18121}don't always even want to fight.
{18121}{18194}They don't have any choice|or they have to go to jail, and...
{18195}{18256}And, yeah, the thing is,|you know, nobody even knows
{18257}{18304}what there really|over there for.
{18346}{18416}As we all talked,|we began to realize that maybe
{18417}{18464}we knew more than|we thought we did.
{18471}{18528}Sure, we didn't really|know Ho Chi Min...
{18528}{18584}from Captain Kangaroo,|but we knew that
{18585}{18634}a lot of people|were getting hurt.
{18639}{18721}And we knew that it didn't|seem to be doing anybody any good.
{18722}{18761}I- I just think it's wrong,|that's all.
{18789}{18819}OK.
{18826}{18866}So? What do you want to do?
{18881}{18959}We need a strategy.|What's our strategy?
{18971}{19053}Well, a few people|are aware of this, but
{19054}{19101}I have know for a fact|that Paul Pfeiffer here
{19102}{19144}is a great political strategist.
{19169}{19200}- I am?|- Come on Paul,
{19201}{19248}you are among friends|you don't need to...
{19249}{19294}keep up the cover.|Lets show that mind works
{19331}{19376}Ok. I think I got it.
{19399}{19421}How about...
{19434}{19476}If we start a petition-drive?
{19477}{19501}A petition-drive?
{19509}{19570}Well, yeah! You know,|if we could collect...
{19571}{19631}enough signatures,|then we could force Diperna
{19632}{19663}to take us seriously!
{19664}{19695}It's over four-hundred signatures.
{19696}{19726}Yes, indeed.
{19736}{19779}I appreciate you|showing these to me.
{19781}{19839}Now, there's something|I'd like to show to you.
{19856}{19991}Section, 1, 7, 3, 9 point 5|of the State Education Code.
{19996}{20061}Kevin? Read that for us?
{20091}{20146}All students|shall remain in class...
{20147}{20193}at all times|during school hours,
{20194}{20301}...unless otherwise authorized|by the administration.
{20321}{20406}And that, ladies and gentlemen|is the law of the land.
{20419}{20509}We can either obey that law,|or we can suffer the consequences.
{20510}{20613}Now, if you would like to|write your State assemblymen,
{20614}{20674}and try and get the law changed,|more power to you.
{20679}{20756}But, as long as|it's on the books...
{20769}{20866}If I, or any other teacher,|were to allow this...
{20884}{20981}We'd be promoting truancy.|And an educator can't...
{20982}{21055}advocate that. Now can he?
{21056}{21101}Now, I know you're|disappointed, but think of this
{21102}{21139}as a learning experience.
{21159}{21188}Did you learn something?
{21189}{21249}Yeah. I learned you're|an even bigger butthead...
{21250}{21284}than I thought you were.
{21291}{21325}I guess so.
{21326}{21371}Well, that's what|school's all about, isn't it?
{21391}{21435}Don't forget, for anyone|who thinks that...
{21436}{21534}he's above the law,|that's immediate suspension...
{21535}{21574}And it will go on your|permanent record.
{21575}{21639}Your permanent... record.
{21674}{21776}And Mr. Tyler|I'd like to speak with you.
{21983}{22025}Well it was a bit of a set-back.
{22026}{22071}But we were getting used to|locking horns...
{22072}{22108}with authority figures.
{22113}{22161}We reacted pretty maturely.
{22163}{22233}- It's not fair!|- Diperna's a jerk.
{22234}{22258}We whined.
{22261}{22327}- He can't get away with this.|- What about our rights?
{22328}{22393}What about the petition?|Over four-hundred signatures!
{22394}{22452}What's the use of having|a student government,
{22453}{22527}if you can't take any action?|I mean, what is he? King?
{22528}{22613}And it's a free country! He can't|stop us, can he, Mr. Tyler?
{22621}{22683}Boy, he was really goin'|after the old chin.
{22691}{22741}I was afraid he was|gonna rub it right off.
{22783}{22813}No, he can't stop ya.
{22816}{22898}You can do whatever|you want to do. But...
{22921}{22991}you should give your actions|serious consideration,
{22992}{23046}because they may have|serious consequences.
{23058}{23103}Are you telling us not to do it?
{23146}{23176}Was he?
{23186}{23226}Had Diperna gotten to him?
{23246}{23283}No. I'm not sayin' that.
{23293}{23346}In a way, you're lucky|to have opposition.
{23351}{23388}That's the way life is.
{23418}{23473}It's easy to take|a stand on something...
{23474}{23516}if there's no risk involved.
{23538}{23583}It's easy to give a quarter|too a poor man...
{23584}{23636}if you keep a dolar|for yourself.
{23656}{23710}It's easy to take a stand|against the war...
{23711}{23793}So long as nobody asks you|to make a real sacrifice.
{23841}{23863}But...
{23921}{23973}Not all of us are ready|to sacrifice.
{24188}{24213}too high.
{24288}{24326}What do you think|we should do?
{24378}{24418}I can't tell you that.
{24466}{24546}Each of you has to make that|decision for himself.
{24706}{24768}"Immediate suspension|from school, and
{24793}{24831}it will go on your|permanent record
{24853}{24943}Do I make myself clear?|Your permanent record...
{24944}{24981}record...record..."
{25193}{25263}"And now, at last.|The heroic crew of...
{25264}{25315}first manned|space flight to Mars,
{25316}{25366}led by Commander|Kevin Arnold.
{25371}{25413}Wait a minute, wait a minute.
{25416}{25443}This just in.
{25451}{25510}We have just learned|that Kevin Arnold
{25511}{25608}left class during school hours,|when he was in seventh grade.
{25613}{25723}I can't believe it, Jim.|The mission has been scrubbed."
{25839}{25904}I don't remember when|I finally made the decision.
{25911}{25959}I guess I didn't know|what I was gonna do...
{25960}{26003}until I found myself doing it.
{26004}{26064}We were gonna walk|right up to Mr. Tyler,
{26065}{26116}and show him|what we we're made of.
{26131}{26171}I couldn't wait to see|the look on his face
{26172}{26210}when he saw what|we'd decided.
{26211}{26289}He was gonna look so proud.|So happy.
{26294}{26319}So...
{26329}{26376}Much like a woman.
{26421}{26491}- Where's Mr. Tyler?|- He's out with the flu.
{26501}{26550}- What?|- Sounded like...
{26551}{26599}he had a bad case of this flu.
{26634}{26669}What?
{26889}{26981}I didn't know what to think.|Was Mr. Tyler a coward?
{26982}{27032}I mean, to believe|in somebody like that,
{27033}{27078}and to have it all turn out|to be a lie.
{27088}{27160}I was a feeling in the pit of my|stomach that was completely new.
{27235}{27275}I had to make a decision.
{27327}{27370}Everybody was watching me.
{27377}{27423}Buzzing about the walk out.
{27452}{27490}What was I gonna do?
{27498}{27532}Was I gonna lead the walk out?
{27593}{27648}Or was I gonna chicken out, too?
{27693}{27727}And then I decided.
{27793}{27835}I'd just get up,
{27925}{27960}walk out that door,
{28040}{28073}into the hallway...
{28110}{28152}and into the bathroom.
{28282}{28330}I was gonna throw up.
{28607}{28670}There wasn't gonna be|any walk out.
{29175}{29227}- What's happening?|- It's the walk out.
{29230}{29274}Don't you know|about the walk out?
{29275}{29338}And that's how I started,|the great Kennedy Junior High...
{29338}{29407}peace walk out|of 1969.
{29505}{29588}As I said, some men|pursue greatness...
{29590}{29657}and some men have|greatness thrust upon them...
{29660}{29698}While they're in the bathroom.
{29705}{29809}"All we are saying..."
{29810}{29924}"Is give peace a chance."
{29924}{30042}"All we are saying..."
{30043}{30163}"Is give peace a chance."
{30164}{30250}"All we are saying..."
{30270}{30343}I'm not sure we really changed|anything that day.
{30350}{30398}I suppose the war would|have gone pretty much
{30398}{30457}the same if we'd|stayed in home room.
{30480}{30532}But one thing would be different.
{30538}{30610}We wouldn't have|the memory to carry with us today,
{30627}{30713}of eight-hundred children|on a football field,
{30715}{30763}singing.
{30780}{30863}And, it wouldn't all be on|our permanent record.
{30863}{30973}"All we are saying..."
{30974}{31082}"Is give peace a chance."
