1
00:00:01,077 --> 00:00:03,512
Teachers never die.

2
00:00:03,512 --> 00:00:06,039
They live in your memory forever.

3
00:00:06,039 --> 00:00:09,552
They were there when you arrived,
they were there when you left.

4
00:00:09,552 --> 00:00:12,241
Like fixtures.

5
00:00:12,861 --> 00:00:16,677
Once in a while they taught you something.

6
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:20,129
But not that often.

7
00:00:20,532 --> 00:00:25,819
And, you never really knew them, any more than they knew you.

8
00:00:25,819 --> 00:00:30,110
Still, for a while, you believed in them.

9
00:00:31,336 --> 00:00:35,451
And, if you were lucky, maybe there was one who believed in you.

10
00:00:35,451 --> 00:00:41,420
To find the quotient plus the remainder, you divide the polynomials.We shall find that...

11
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:44,308
Mr. Collins wasn't your average teacher.

12
00:00:44,308 --> 00:00:47,119
He was more like...a force of nature.

13
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:53,057
He was kind of a mathematical whirlwind - a tornado of chalk.He was full of surprises.

14
00:00:53,057 --> 00:00:54,024
Alright...

15
00:00:54,024 --> 00:00:55,493
And, he never let up.

16
00:00:55,493 --> 00:01:00,443
Who can give me...the quotient?

17
00:01:01,756 --> 00:01:03,680
3X+2Y?

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,912
No.

19
00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:08,882
2Y squared?

20
00:01:08,882 --> 00:01:12,084
No...anybody else?

21
00:01:12,084 --> 00:01:18,960
Sure he was tough, but you had to respect him, and you wanted him to respect you, too. At least I did.

22
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:20,529
Mr. Arnold.

23
00:01:20,529 --> 00:01:22,154
2X+Y?

24
00:01:22,154 --> 00:01:23,282
Correct .

25
00:01:23,282 --> 00:01:24,840
Heh-heh.

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,431
And the remainder?

27
00:01:28,431 --> 00:01:32,580
Uh...six?

28
00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:37,716
The answer...is...12Y+3.

29
00:01:37,716 --> 00:01:40,973
OK - so I wasn't exactly God's gift to polynomials.

30
00:01:40,973 --> 00:01:43,902
But I was doing my best, and Collins knew it.

31
00:01:43,902 --> 00:01:47,037
At least, I think he did.

32
00:01:47,037 --> 00:01:52,043
For you r homework...study Unit 17, Section 4.

33
00:01:52,043 --> 00:01:57,141
These are your last week's quizzes, please pass them back.

34
00:01:57,141 --> 00:01:59,799
After all, we'd been through alot, the old man and I.

35
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:01,016
We had a history.

36
00:02:01,016 --> 00:02:05,197
And the fact is, thanks to him, I'd brought myself from a "D"

37
00:02:05,197 --> 00:02:08,402
to a "C", a respectable "C".

38
00:02:08,402 --> 00:02:09,930
Nothing wrong with that.

39
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:11,431
Darn it!

40
00:02:11,431 --> 00:02:14,219
Unless, of course, you happen to be Paul Pfeiffer.

41
00:02:14,219 --> 00:02:15,646
What's wrong with him?

44
00:02:21,856 --> 00:02:27,335
It's not an "A". It's an "A-". I blew it.

45
00:02:27,335 --> 00:02:31,404
Now with anyone else this might seem like bragging - but Paul wasn't a braggart.

46
00:02:31,404 --> 00:02:34,242
"A"'s just came to him - like hives.

47
00:02:34,242 --> 00:02:36,532
Bet you could just kick yourself.

48
00:02:36,532 --> 00:02:37,889
Lay off, Hobson.

49
00:02:37,889 --> 00:02:40,046
I'm gonna tape this to my locker door as a warning.

50
00:02:40,046 --> 00:02:43,086
One little boner and the whole academic year goes right down -

51
00:02:43,086 --> 00:02:45,415
Paul? What's this?

52
00:02:45,415 --> 00:02:48,226
Oh, just something Collins wrote.

53
00:02:48,226 --> 00:02:49,897
Mr. Collins wrote that?

54
00:02:49,897 --> 00:02:52,422
Yeah, why?

55
00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:55,505
Nothing...

56
00:02:56,247 --> 00:02:58,092
Does he do that often?

57
00:02:58,092 --> 00:03:01,330
Sometimes.
Doesn't he do that with you?

58
00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:05,004
Oh, sure! Once in awhile.

59
00:03:05,004 --> 00:03:08,322
If by "once in awhile" you meant "never".

60
00:03:08,705 --> 00:03:11,204
Mr. Collins?

61
00:03:11,204 --> 00:03:13,868
Mr. Arnold.

62
00:03:14,391 --> 00:03:21,670
I was...just...wondering, about...how you thought I was doing.

63
00:03:23,318 --> 00:03:29,941
I mean, generally. Overall.

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,179
In math.

65
00:03:35,179 --> 00:03:36,672
There! Clean and quick.

66
00:03:36,672 --> 00:03:39,988
One simple "Good job!" and I'd be on my way.

67
00:03:39,988 --> 00:03:43,096
Let's check...

68
00:03:45,079 --> 00:03:49,313
According to my records, you've been getting..."C"'s.

69
00:03:49,313 --> 00:03:51,648
Is that correct?

70
00:03:52,030 --> 00:03:55,692
Well...yes.

71
00:03:59,138 --> 00:04:02,284
Was there anything else?

72
00:04:02,284 --> 00:04:05,859
Well...no, except...

73
00:04:05,859 --> 00:04:08,636
Would you say I'm doing well?
Or not so well?

74
00:04:08,636 --> 00:04:10,257
How do you feel you're doing?

75
00:04:10,257 --> 00:04:16,452
Penalty! Answering a question with a question - five yards, loss of down.

76
00:04:16,703 --> 00:04:21,559
Well...I guess "C"'s are better than "D"'s...

77
00:04:21,559 --> 00:04:27,266
even though they're not as good as "B"'s...

78
00:04:27,266 --> 00:04:29,626
...or "A"'s.

79
00:04:29,626 --> 00:04:35,705
I see. Thank you for sharing that with me.

80
00:04:35,705 --> 00:04:38,518
Sure, anytime!

81
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:44,862
Take your seats and open your text books to Unit 17.

82
00:04:44,862 --> 00:04:47,541
Anything else?

83
00:04:49,077 --> 00:04:53,284
No. Nothing.

84
00:04:53,284 --> 00:04:56,590
Nope, nothin' at all.

85
00:04:58,963 --> 00:05:02,692
Except that night, I couldn't get it out of my mind.

86
00:05:02,692 --> 00:05:05,241
How's it coming there, sport?

87
00:05:05,241 --> 00:05:07,583
Uh...fine.

88
00:05:07,583 --> 00:05:09,954
Heard you brought home a quiz.

89
00:05:09,954 --> 00:05:13,829
Yeah. Another "C".

90
00:05:13,829 --> 00:05:19,895
Uh, well, there's nothing to be ashamed of there. Right?

91
00:05:20,239 --> 00:05:23,299
Right, Dad.

92
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:31,278
But suddenly, for some reason, that respectable "C" didn't feel so...respectable.

93
00:05:35,388 --> 00:05:39,706
These are the results of Tuesday's quizzes.

94
00:05:41,017 --> 00:05:45,443
"B"! I got a "B"!

95
00:05:46,286 --> 00:05:50,665
Your mid-term exam...will be two weeks from tomorrow.

96
00:05:50,665 --> 00:05:54,239
I suggest you begin studying for it now.

97
00:05:54,239 --> 00:05:56,177
But who cared about two weeks from now?

98
00:05:56,177 --> 00:05:59,112
This was a red-letter day.

99
00:05:59,112 --> 00:06:01,228
Mr. Collins?

100
00:06:01,683 --> 00:06:03,567
Yes?

101
00:06:04,727 --> 00:06:06,088
Ta-da!

102
00:06:06,088 --> 00:06:07,859
A "B"!

103
00:06:07,859 --> 00:06:10,377
Yes. I know.

104
00:06:10,377 --> 00:06:13,421
Ta-da!

105
00:06:15,174 --> 00:06:16,628
That was it?

106
00:06:16,628 --> 00:06:20,163
What was it gonna take here?

107
00:06:21,542 --> 00:06:24,031
The next morning I showed up early for school.

108
00:06:24,031 --> 00:06:25,233
Mr. Collins?

109
00:06:25,233 --> 00:06:29,222
It was time for a talk, no holds barred - mano a mano.

110
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:32,217
I've been thinking about what you asked me, Mr. Arnold.

111
00:06:32,217 --> 00:06:33,289
You have?

112
00:06:33,289 --> 00:06:35,096
I believe I understand.

113
00:06:35,096 --> 00:06:39,858
OK, then. No hard feelings. 
Let 'em come - the kudos, the accolades...

114
00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:42,996
And, I think I can help.

115
00:06:42,996 --> 00:06:43,871
I beg you pardon?

116
00:06:43,871 --> 00:06:47,511
There's not much time.
We can start this afternoon.

117
00:06:47,511 --> 00:06:50,762
Naturally, one or two questions sprang to mind.

118
00:06:50,762 --> 00:06:51,790
Start what?

119
00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:54,671
Preparing for your mid-term examination.

120
00:06:54,671 --> 00:06:57,677
We have two weeks and a lot of ground to cover.

121
00:06:57,677 --> 00:06:59,272
But I didn't say anything about an exam!

122
00:06:59,272 --> 00:07:01,662
We can work in the afternoon, after school.

123
00:07:01,662 --> 00:07:03,571
Wait a minute!

124
00:07:03,571 --> 00:07:07,494
Heck, all I wanted here was a little applause for a job well done, and he's giving me -

125
00:07:07,494 --> 00:07:12,811
An opportunity to do your best.
Isn't that why you came to me?

126
00:07:12,811 --> 00:07:19,143
You said...a "C" is better than a "D",
but not as good as an "A".

127
00:07:19,143 --> 00:07:22,395
Well, sure, but...I didn't mean that -

128
00:07:22,395 --> 00:07:28,103
I think you can get that "A", Mr. Arnold.
And I think you want to.

129
00:07:28,103 --> 00:07:31,264
An "A"? In math?

130
00:07:31,264 --> 00:07:37,355
And suddenly it was clear - the man had completely lost his mind.

131
00:07:37,355 --> 00:07:38,270
Look -

132
00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:41,484
Let me know what you decide.

133
00:07:41,484 --> 00:07:44,948
Mr. Collins?

134
00:07:45,385 --> 00:07:48,752
I'll never be an "A" student.

135
00:07:48,752 --> 00:07:52,246
That's up to you, Mr. Arnold.

136
00:07:52,246 --> 00:07:56,755
Well, like I said, the man was full of surprises.

137
00:07:59,252 --> 00:08:01,100
It was almost...laughable.

138
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:02,302
Hey, Kev!

139
00:08:02,302 --> 00:08:03,254
Hey.

140
00:08:03,254 --> 00:08:06,244
After all, I was no Paul Pfeiffer.

141
00:08:06,244 --> 00:08:11,868
I mean, one "B" on one quiz, maybe, but let's not go overboard.

142
00:08:21,709 --> 00:08:25,056
When do we start?

143
00:08:30,027 --> 00:08:34,129
And so, I stepped into the whirlwind.

144
00:08:34,129 --> 00:08:38,395
Every day after school, Mr. Collins and I met to accomplish the improbable.

145
00:08:38,395 --> 00:08:40,831
What law do we apply?

146
00:08:40,831 --> 00:08:43,335
The com mutative law.
-  Not in this case. The commutative law says...

147
00:08:43,335 --> 00:08:47,695
If not the impossible.

148
00:08:48,088 --> 00:08:52,754
Not that I really believed I was gonna ace that exam...

149
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:56,807
Still for some reason...Mr. Collins seemed sure I could do it.

150
00:08:56,807 --> 00:09:02,885
And if he believed it, well, 
maybe anything was possible.

151
00:09:04,142 --> 00:09:07,488
But it wasn't all hard work.
It was something...more.

152
00:09:07,488 --> 00:09:10,901
It was the man himself.

153
00:09:12,342 --> 00:09:13,437
I liked him.

154
00:09:13,437 --> 00:09:19,121
I was getting to know him,
and he was getting to know me.

155
00:09:19,935 --> 00:09:23,031
We never talked about anything personal.

156
00:09:23,031 --> 00:09:23,964
We didn't have to.

157
00:09:23,964 --> 00:09:26,351
That's correct, Mr. Arnold.

158
00:09:26,351 --> 00:09:30,124
Talking math was enough.

159
00:09:31,605 --> 00:09:37,695
And I was actually beginning to consider the chance I might not get massacred on that-

160
00:09:51,094 --> 00:09:53,026
Mr. Collins?!

161
00:09:53,026 --> 00:09:55,542
Mr. Arnold.

162
00:09:55,542 --> 00:09:59,117
I thought you...we're supposed to -

163
00:09:59,117 --> 00:10:05,016
I'm afraid I can't make it today.
I have an appointment.

164
00:10:05,016 --> 00:10:05,995
Oh.

165
00:10:05,995 --> 00:10:07,833
"An appointment"? Was he joking?

166
00:10:07,833 --> 00:10:10,898
The test was Friday, and he has an appointment?

167
00:10:10,898 --> 00:10:13,044
Well, then, I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

168
00:10:13,044 --> 00:10:15,679
I'm afraid I won't be here tomorrow either.

169
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,803
Oh.

170
00:10:16,803 --> 00:10:19,301
Jeez, the guy sure looked in a hurry to get out of there.

171
00:10:19,301 --> 00:10:22,548
Maybe he robbed a cash-register or something.

172
00:10:22,548 --> 00:10:24,129
We still have six more units to cover.

173
00:10:24,129 --> 00:10:27,388
I'm afraid you'll have to prepare on your own, Mr. Arnold.

174
00:10:27,388 --> 00:10:31,357
You still have functions and...real numbers to review.

175
00:10:31,357 --> 00:10:33,302
Ah, that's units twelve, through, uh...

176
00:10:33,302 --> 00:10:34,862
I can't do those units on my own!

177
00:10:34,862 --> 00:10:40,323
I suggest you try. They will be on the examination.

178
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,746
Look, Mr. Collins...

179
00:10:43,746 --> 00:10:49,512
This whole thing was your idea. You...

180
00:10:49,973 --> 00:10:53,096
We kind a had a deal.

181
00:10:56,004 --> 00:10:57,855
Didn't we?

182
00:10:57,855 --> 00:11:06,121
I'm sorry, I have to go.
I'll be back for the exam on Friday.

183
00:11:06,121 --> 00:11:07,155
Wait!

184
00:11:07,155 --> 00:11:11,173
I felt betrayed. Here I was, practically begging for the man to help...

185
00:11:11,173 --> 00:11:14,127
And the man was throwing me an anvil for a life-jacket.

186
00:11:14,127 --> 00:11:16,581
I -

187
00:11:17,461 --> 00:11:22,256
But there was nothing more to say,
except for one thing.

188
00:11:22,256 --> 00:11:25,431
I thought you were my friend.

189
00:11:30,477 --> 00:11:36,152
Not your friend, Mr. Arnold.
Your teacher.

190
00:11:38,136 --> 00:11:39,710
Oh...

191
00:11:39,710 --> 00:11:43,700
And that was that - in spades.
The big kiss-off.

192
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:49,807
And I was left...with nothing.
Nothing but rage.

193
00:11:50,875 --> 00:11:55,835
Put your books on the floor, and your pencils on your desk.

194
00:11:56,447 --> 00:11:58,836
By the day of the test I'd made up my mind.

195
00:11:58,836 --> 00:12:00,751
I knew what I had to do.

196
00:12:00,751 --> 00:12:08,213
You have the entire period to complete the exam. Begin.

197
00:12:14,421 --> 00:12:19,150
OK, then. Time to get to work.

198
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,856
Your time is up. Please bring your exams to the desk.

199
00:12:56,481 --> 00:12:58,799
Mr. Arnold.

200
00:13:11,047 --> 00:13:12,491
Kevin...

201
00:13:12,491 --> 00:13:14,958
But I wasn't buyin' it.
He'd said it was up to me.

202
00:13:14,958 --> 00:13:21,521
So I made my choice.
An "F". A perfectly respectable "F".

203
00:13:23,116 --> 00:13:30,150
Course I was pretty proud of myself, all afternoon, and well into prime-time that night.

204
00:13:32,179 --> 00:13:36,399
After that, well...

205
00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:49,586
I guess you could say it was one of the longer weekends in my life.

206
00:13:49,586 --> 00:13:55,599
I'd watched enough "Victory at Sea" re-runs to sink a ship.

207
00:14:01,661 --> 00:14:05,717
I need to speak to Mr. Collins. Please.

208
00:14:05,717 --> 00:14:08,241
Just a moment.

209
00:14:10,863 --> 00:14:16,280
OK. So I felt bad. For me, for Collins.
After all, he probably had a good reason for -

210
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,162
Arnold.

211
00:14:18,162 --> 00:14:20,304
Can I help you?

212
00:14:20,304 --> 00:14:23,964
I'm, uh, looking for Mr. Collins.

213
00:14:23,964 --> 00:14:26,641
I'm afraid he's not here.

214
00:14:26,641 --> 00:14:29,012
Well, could I leave him a message?

215
00:14:29,012 --> 00:14:34,535
Sure. Set up a pow-wow, formal peace talks...anything.

216
00:14:40,294 --> 00:14:46,189
Um...Mr. Collins passed away this morning.

217
00:14:47,135 --> 00:14:54,805
He, uh...he was at home.
We just got the bad news.

218
00:14:56,408 --> 00:15:04,658
He's been not well for awhile.
It was his heart.

219
00:15:06,748 --> 00:15:12,782
I'm sorry to have to break the news to you, now.

220
00:15:12,782 --> 00:15:17,650
I'll be making a formal announcement later in the day.

221
00:15:17,970 --> 00:15:22,662
Meanwhile, I'll be taking over most of his classes.

222
00:15:24,618 --> 00:15:26,502
My, my - another ace.

223
00:15:26,502 --> 00:15:28,616
Hey, it's none of your business.
Give it back!

224
00:15:28,616 --> 00:15:30,359
Come on - it's mine.

225
00:15:30,359 --> 00:15:31,750
I heard the new, uh...

226
00:15:31,750 --> 00:15:36,496
Advanced math teacher is a chick.
Planning on becoming the new teacher's pet?

227
00:15:36,496 --> 00:15:38,266
Very funny, Hobson.

228
00:15:38,266 --> 00:15:42,287
She happens to be very smart. She needs a little work on her delivery, but...

229
00:15:42,287 --> 00:15:43,718
Oh, I bet.

230
00:15:43,718 --> 00:15:44,538
What do you know?

231
00:15:44,538 --> 00:15:47,825
Will you guys just knock it off?

232
00:15:47,825 --> 00:15:50,088
You're such clowns.

233
00:15:50,088 --> 00:15:53,105
Oooooh, ooooh.

234
00:15:53,105 --> 00:15:54,222
Hey!

235
00:15:54,222 --> 00:15:56,634
Gentlemen?!

236
00:15:56,634 --> 00:15:59,483
What's going on here?

237
00:15:59,483 --> 00:16:03,677
Nothing. It's nothing.

238
00:16:03,677 --> 00:16:06,391
See me in my classroom...
Three o'clock.

239
00:16:06,391 --> 00:16:08,851
Sharp.

240
00:16:11,636 --> 00:16:15,769
It was about the last place on earth I wanted to be at that moment.

241
00:16:15,769 --> 00:16:22,351
Something odd has occurred.
Perhaps you can shed some light on it.

242
00:16:22,351 --> 00:16:26,145
And somehow I knew, 
as soon as I saw that envelope.

243
00:16:26,145 --> 00:16:31,596
Mid-term examinations.
All of them.

244
00:16:32,788 --> 00:16:38,306
All of them, that is...except yours.

245
00:16:38,459 --> 00:16:40,960
What?

246
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,750
Apparently, Mr. Collins graded these tests the weekend that, uh...

247
00:16:48,275 --> 00:16:54,834
Well, in any event, it seems yours was misplaced.

248
00:16:56,288 --> 00:16:59,389
Oh...

249
00:16:59,697 --> 00:17:04,240
The question now is what do we do about it. You need a grade.

250
00:17:04,649 --> 00:17:07,948
Do you have any suggestions?

251
00:17:07,948 --> 00:17:11,303
No, sir.

252
00:17:11,673 --> 00:17:13,592
Well...

253
00:17:14,175 --> 00:17:17,034
Collins did.

254
00:17:22,681 --> 00:17:25,333
Fifty minutes, Arnold.

255
00:17:25,333 --> 00:17:28,012
You may begin.

256
00:17:33,112 --> 00:17:37,731
As I took that test, I thought about...a lot of things.

257
00:17:37,731 --> 00:17:42,371
About how I knew him, and yet, I didn't.

258
00:17:42,371 --> 00:17:48,041
About how he treated me like a man, and how I'd acted like a child.

259
00:17:48,041 --> 00:17:53,077
About how I let him down, and now I wouldn't.

260
00:17:53,077 --> 00:17:56,829
The thing is, even though I could almost feel him in the room,

261
00:17:56,829 --> 00:18:02,876
I knew I didn't need him for the answers - or the praise.

262
00:18:04,501 --> 00:18:09,176
I was on my own, now.

263
00:18:30,497 --> 00:18:33,679
You don't have to grade it.

264
00:18:35,581 --> 00:18:38,888
It's an "A".

265
00:18:45,883 --> 00:18:47,953
Mr. Arnold.

266
00:18:54,813 --> 00:18:58,778
Good job, Mr. Collins.

267
00:18:59,326 --> 00:19:14,020
"Goodbye My Friend" 
= by Linda Rondstadt = 

268
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:21,352
¢ÝOh we never know where life will take us¢Ý

269
00:19:21,352 --> 00:19:29,080
¢ÝI know it's just a ride on the wheel¢Ý

270
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:36,696
¢ÝAnd we never know when death will shake us ¢Ý

271
00:19:36,696 --> 00:19:44,704
¢ÝAnd we wonder how it will feel ¢Ý

272
00:19:44,704 --> 00:19:51,258
¢ÝSo goodbye my friend ¢Ý

273
00:19:51,258 --> 00:19:57,366
¢ÝI know I'll never see you again ¢Ý

274
00:19:57,366 --> 00:20:01,911
¢ÝBut the time together through all the years ¢Ý

275
00:20:01,911 --> 00:20:05,469
¢ÝWill take away these tears ¢Ý

276
00:20:05,469 --> 00:20:11,747
¢ÝIt's okay now ¢Ý

277
00:20:11,747 --> 00:20:15,419
¢ÝGoodbye my friend ¢Ý
