1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,560
I remember it as clearly as if it were last night.

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,839
It was the first day of school - I was late.

3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:10,480
I found the class and went in.

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:29,800
I began to panic. Maybe I'd come on the wrong day...maybe I'd come to the wrong place!

5
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,640
Every time I would open the door, there was another hallway.

6
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,320
I couldn't find the teachers - I couldn't find the students.

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,240
And that's when it hit me.
This was high school.

8
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,119
And I...was completely and utterly...

9
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:46,399
Alone.

10
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,640
Nineteen-seventy-one.
It was a crazy time.

11
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,840
People were on the move...looking for answers...breaking new ground.

12
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,159
Seemed like everyone was searching for a new identity.

13
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Me, I was breakin' some ground of my own.

14
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,960
That September I entered William McKinley senior high.

15
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,879
I was looking forward to a new adventure.

16
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,280
My only hope was they'd have something besides Jell-O for lunch.

17
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,560
Everything was different.
Mini's had become micro's.

18
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,159
"Hippies" had turned into "heads".
And some of us were on the road to political awareness.

19
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:47,159
Kinda.

20
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:49,640
But those weren't the only changes.

21
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:56,840
My best friend Paul Pfeiffer was off to prep school. Which left me...

22
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Completely on my own.

23
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Yeah! This wasn't gonna be bad at all...

24
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,879
Kevin Arnold?! Stuart Carpazian.
Remember me?

25
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:13,400
We both had Miss Serita for fourth grade.

26
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Oh, hi, Stuart.

27
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,520
Wow, it's good to see ya! You're probably wondering what happened to me.

28
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,439
See, my dad got a job in Tucson when I was in fifth grade...so we moved.

29
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,360
But, I'm back now! Jujubee?

30
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,000
- No, thanks.
- So, how's your mom?

31
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Hey, remember when she chaperoned our field-trip to the zoo...

32
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,800
and the elephants are doing it?

33
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,159
Jeez, was this kid blind?

34
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:37,439
Couldn't he see what was happening here?

35
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:40,680
Remember that time you came down with the Hong Kong flu?

36
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Here she came.
- It was right after lunch.

37
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Fishsticks and peas, and ya threw up all over your desk.

38
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,719
Stuart!

39
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:54,280
Well, I gotta go to class now.

40
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,439
It's been nice talking to you.
Seeya later!

41
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:02,759
Oh, well, one thing about a big public high school...

44
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:12,840
Hey, you know what I was thinking about?

45
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,199
That time we were playing basketball, you ran into the pole and knocked a hole in your head.

46
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:20,120
Stuart, class is gonna start, OK?
We'll talk later.

47
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,319
Oh, sure, sure.

48
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:28,519
Not to be obnoxious or anything, but this was no time to be reliving old memories.

49
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:33,319
This...was high school.

50
00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:36,600
The big leagues.

51
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,199
Education in the fast lane.

52
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,400
Once we got rolling.

53
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:53,040
Buenos dias. My name is Mr. Bottner. This...is U.S. Government.

54
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,720
OK, finally!

55
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,879
So! Here are the rules...

56
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:01,319
Roman numeral "I" - Rules.

57
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,639
Numero uno. Bottner's Law.

58
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,879
At eight-twenty-five the doors are locked - no one gets in...

59
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,560
No one gets out. Numero dos.

60
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Due to an inner ear injury sustained at the...Pusan...beach-head...

61
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:27,439
We shall all refrain from making any sudden...noises in the two-thousand kilocycle range. That means...

62
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:29,560
Do not...

63
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:38,720
I repeat, do not...rip the paper from spiral notebooks.

64
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,840
Comprende?

65
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,280
Hmmmm....

66
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,840
Now!

67
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:50,519
Can anyone tell me the name of this country's "living document"?

68
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:53,840
Anyone?...no one?

69
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:55,920
"Grubner"!

70
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,759
Um...ah...

71
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,199
Good job.

72
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:04,879
Callio!

73
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:07,400
Ah...I'm not sure.

74
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,680
Huh. Perfect.

75
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,759
Carpazon.

76
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:17,840
Uh...that's "Carpazian", sir.

77
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:21,439
What did you say?

78
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:26,400
Uh, it's...not important.

79
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:39,920
The answer to the question...is the...Con-sti-tu-tion.

80
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,600
And speaking of the Constitution...

81
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:49,160
This might be a good time to tell you about meeting the thirty-ninth vice-president of the United States.

82
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,680
Spiro T. Agnew.

83
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,000
I was one of only nine-hundred teachers...

84
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,639
Selected to have lunch at the White House.

85
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,280
The real White House.

86
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:05,000
And there you had it. It was pretty obvious the man who was teaching us all about freedom...

87
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,240
Was nothing but a petty dictator.

88
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,840
And that's when we realized - for the next five months, we'd be held hostage...

89
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,040
While this guy strutted and preened, and perpetrated his little power-plays.

90
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,360
And told, and retold, his crowning life-achievement...

91
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Meeting Spiro T. Agnew.

92
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,199
And, then! During dessert...

93
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:30,120
Which included a generous portion of cherries jubilee...

94
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,519
The vice-president himself...

95
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:35,079
Came over to my table.

96
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:38,720
Shook...my hand.

97
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,160
And do you know what he said? Huh?

98
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,560
Of course, we didn't.

99
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,720
But still, it seemed some sort of response was called for here.

100
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:55,199
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing"?

101
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:59,759
...Huh.

102
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:03,319
...I see.

103
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:08,319
And maybe right then I should have known...

104
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:13,360
I...was a dead man.

105
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:16,960
That's it, amigos.

106
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,079
Still, by the end of class, I'd come up with a plan.

107
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:25,000
I figured I'd talk to the guy.
Explain myself.

108
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Offer the old olive branch.

109
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,879
Mr. Bottner?

110
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:36,759
About your story about Vice-president Agnew...sorry I ruined it.

111
00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:38,840
So...?

112
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,480
So...I'll seeya tomorrow?

113
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,799
You bet!

114
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:49,600
And that was that - piece of cake. Right?

115
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,399
Wrong!

116
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:58,519
if we catch you walking on the seal, you get...the "boosh"!

117
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,680
- The royal flush.
- The "boosh"!

118
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,799
Not that I knew what that was.

119
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,519
Still, the terminology seemed pretty self-explanatory.

120
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,759
Thanks for lettin' me know.

121
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:15,120
You're my brother, I care about ya.

122
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,680
Finally, something familiar - lunch.

123
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,360
The trick was to desperately look for someone to sit with,

124
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,680
without anyone ever knowing you were desperate.

125
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,879
And that's when I saw her.

126
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:41,279
Winnie - an oasis in sea of strangers.
"Winnie's Theme"

127
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:45,080
She looked so alone, I thought I'd go over and do the best I could to console her.

128
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,080
Hi, Winnie!

129
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,639
Mind if we sit with you?

130
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:54,399
Me, and half the varsity football team.

131
00:09:56,879 --> 00:10:00,279
Come on, Kevin, you can squeeze in!

132
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:03,800
Uh, no thanks.

133
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:12,560
See, I'm, I'm just gonna...walk around for awhile, and...build up an appetite. OK?

134
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:14,360
Hey, I mean, I didn't need charity.

135
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,960
I could manage on my own.

136
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,240
There were plenty of folks I could sit with.
Good folks. Honest folks.

137
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,440
Folks like, say -

138
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,320
Hey, Kev! Pretty neat cafeteria, huh?

139
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,480
Stuart.

140
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,159
Remember that time you got that pencil stuck up in your nose?

141
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:35,680
I always had Stuart.

142
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:47,960
One French class, one biology lab, and three major social gaffs later, I was just about ready to call it a day.

143
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:52,600
On the other hand...

144
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,399
Alright, mes amigos. This is "study hall".

145
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,840
What you do in here is study - you don't talk...

146
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,560
You don't doodle...
You keep your faces in your books.

147
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,159
Comprende?

148
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:10,039
So, here are Bottner's Rules.
Numero uno.

149
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:12,080
Oh, man.

150
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,800
Oops.

151
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,919
Arnold. You have something to say?

152
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,360
No, I-I...

153
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Oh, come on. Share it with the class.

154
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,320
I'm sure it's pretty amusing - you being such a...funny guy.

155
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,759
Come on, Arnold...

156
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:34,399
Don't you think you're funny?

157
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:36,399
No. Not really...

158
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:41,680
Oh, sure you are...you're a regular Jose Jimenez.

159
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:53,159
I'm sure the rest of the class wouldn't mind...waiting...even if we have to stay after school to listen to your joke.

160
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:57,800
I'm sure it'll be worth it.

161
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:03,120
And as Bottner turned an entire class of tenth-graders against me, I realized something.

162
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:14,200
My nightmare had come true - it was the first day of high school, and I was...completely, and utterly...alone.

163
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:22,560
Pathetic...fair...adequate...putrid...

164
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:27,440
Arnold! You're gonna have to do yours over.

165
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,080
Passable...marginal...

166
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,600
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

167
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,120
You have a comment?

168
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,720
Yeah. Why do I have to do mine over again?

169
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,600
I'm glad you asked me that question.

170
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,639
I can't read your writing.
Your margins are off.

171
00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:51,840
And you didn't put the date in the top righthand corner. Bottner's Rules.

172
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,399
But I spent all night on this report.

173
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:58,759
Now that's funny.

174
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:00,879
My ego was taking a beating.

175
00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:03,920
So, there was only one thing to do.

176
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,399
Beat the pants off my best friend at basketball.

177
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:09,800
- Three - zip. Your ball.
- I can count, Paul.

178
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,759
Ungrateful dork!

179
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:14,039
- Hey, what's buggin' you?
- Nothing.

180
00:13:14,039 --> 00:13:16,560
Let's play!

181
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,759
No way I was gonna to let this bozo know I needed help.

182
00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:23,600
I was gonna keep my emotions to myself.

183
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,960
That sweatshirt makes you look like a geek.

184
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:34,560
Yep, better I should just insult the guy.

185
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,720
- Four - zip.
- I said I can count, OK?!

186
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,639
OK, OK...

187
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:51,039
No basket. Foul!

188
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:53,639
- What do you mean, foul?
- You charged.

189
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:56,960
- I didn't touch you!
- I'm taking it out of bounds.

190
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,800
No way!

191
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,560
Kev. A rule's a rule.

192
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:05,960
God, Paul - a rule's a rule?
You should hear yourself.

193
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:13,480
All I hear all day is - rules! Don't walk here, don't...don't be late, your margins are too wide...don't talk, don't think, don't breathe.

194
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:20,519
- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about...high school.

195
00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:24,680
Junior high used to be so great, and now...

196
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,399
now we're like that stuff underneath the refrigerator, ya know?

197
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:31,320
OK, it just slipped out.

198
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,639
The way I saw it, I had a right to expect a little sympathy.

199
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,360
A gesture of support.

200
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,159
I don't know - I kinda like my prep school.

201
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:49,159
- Really...?
- Really!

202
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:51,680
Five - zip.

203
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:55,279
Friday afternoon.
One week down, six hundred to go.

204
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:58,000
- Kevin, wait up!
- Oh! Hi, Winnie.

205
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,560
- Where have you been?
- Around...

206
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,720
- I'm sorry about lunch the other day.
- That's OK - no problem.

207
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,360
Are you alright?

208
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,039
Yeah! I just expected this place to be different, you know?

209
00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:14,360
Give it some time...it'll get better!

210
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,200
Trust me! It's gonna be great.

211
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,759
- I'm going this way, so I'll see you later, OK?
- OK.

212
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:27,560
And ya know, hearing that voice, seeing that smile, for one moment I actually felt a little twinge of...

213
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,879
Oh, Kevie?

214
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:35,039
Absolute fear.

215
00:15:36,039 --> 00:15:37,800
You get - the "boosh".

216
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,080
Hey! Hey!

217
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:47,680
You heard it here. I got - the "boosh".

218
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:48,759
Hey, Kev, wait up!

219
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:50,639
I want to know if you're going to the football game tonight.

220
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:53,879
You know, afterwards, I hear they're gonna toilet-paper Cheryl Manning's house.

221
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:55,000
Go away, Stuart.

222
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,560
You remember her. You hit her in the head with a tetherball once.

223
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Go away!

224
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,560
Gee, Kev, your hair's all wet.

225
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,320
You know, speaking to you as a friend, you should really -

226
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Look, Stuart, don't you get it?
We're not friends!

227
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,840
Just because you sat behind me in the fourth grade doesn't mean we're friends - we weren't even friends then!

228
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,560
So why don't you get someone else to hang around with, OK?

229
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,920
Cuz I can't take it any more!
You hear me?

230
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,080
And so it came down to this.

231
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,200
I had acted like an idiot, blown up at the wrong guy...

232
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,759
And now...

233
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:31,320
my only hope was that my government teacher was dead.

234
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:43,360
Alright. Here's the deal - I just had to walk five blocks out of my way because some substitute chorale director parked her Pinto in my spot!

235
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,800
Comprende!

236
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,200
On further consideration, though, death didn't seem half good enough.

237
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:55,759
Therefore, I suggest you open your notebooks, and write me, oh...let's say...

238
00:16:55,759 --> 00:17:02,840
five hundred words on the meaning of property rights, in the U.S. Constitution.

239
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,079
Just for fun.

240
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:09,160
And no talking.

241
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,720
Especially you, Arnold.

242
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,279
Me?! Look, I never said any -

243
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:21,920
Ah-ah-ah...I said no talking.

244
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,640
Sorry, buddy. You're on detention.

245
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,240
The whole week.

246
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,599
Let's move it, amigos!

247
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:42,799
And I don't know, maybe it was all that talk about the Constitution.

248
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:48,000
In any event, at that moment, I'd made up my mind.

249
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,039
It was time for a declaration of independence of my own.

250
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:08,000
Who did that?

251
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,640
It was you Arnold, wasn't it?

252
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,000
But sitting there...Holding that paper, I just didn't care anymore.

253
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:26,279
If I was alone, fine - I'd go it alone.

254
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,759
Only suddenly...

255
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:34,519
I wasn't.

256
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,920
Maybe it was futile, maybe not. It really didn't matter.

257
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,120
For that one moment, we'd found a common voice...

258
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:07,319
A common bond, against a common enemy.

259
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:15,920
And, for that one moment, it was a sweet victory.

260
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:30,559
That first week of high school, as I watched our class band together.

261
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:34,240
I realized something about these strangers I'd just met.

262
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:40,120
Strangers I hardly knew.
Strangers who were just like me.

263
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,519
We were all sharing the same feelings.

264
00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:47,079
The same fears, the same loneliness.

265
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:53,039
We were just starting out, and there was only one direction to go.

266
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:57,240
So we went - together.

267
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,799
