1
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:14,885
It's funny, because I think
I can even remember being born.

2
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:18,722
For the first two weeks of my life,
I didn't have a name.

3
00:02:19,556 --> 00:02:21,391
Dede couldn't make up her mind.

4
00:02:21,517 --> 00:02:22,935
Hi, kid.

5
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:25,687
She finally decided on Fred.

6
00:02:26,063 --> 00:02:30,067
She said she'd never heard
of a little kid named Fred before.

7
00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:34,404
When I'm dancing
at Radio City once a week,

8
00:02:34,446 --> 00:02:35,906
you can have French fries
as much as you want,

9
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:38,242
but for right now, you gotta eat this shit.

10
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:40,536
-Yes, you do. Come on.
-No!

11
00:02:40,953 --> 00:02:42,746
-No?
-No!

12
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,706
If you think you're
gonna make me say things

13
00:02:44,748 --> 00:02:47,835
like "choo-choo" and "big garage"
to get you to open up your mouth,

14
00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:49,086
you got another thing coming.

15
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:50,379
Koffer!

16
00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:54,258
What is with you today?

17
00:02:54,633 --> 00:02:57,427
No koffer, Fred.
That's food for you to eat, okay?

18
00:02:57,511 --> 00:02:59,346
-Koffer, Mommy.
-No, Fred.

19
00:02:59,763 --> 00:03:01,723
That's a plate, Fred. No koffer. Okay?

20
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,059
Koffer!

21
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:08,313
Look, all right? No koffer! It's a plate.

22
00:03:10,774 --> 00:03:12,359
Jesus.

23
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:16,154
Koffer.

24
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:29,459
By the time I was in first grade,

25
00:03:29,501 --> 00:03:33,130
it was pretty obvious
that I wasn't like everybody else.

26
00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:40,137
Definitely not like Matt Montini.

27
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:43,015
He's the kid I admire most.

28
00:03:43,098 --> 00:03:44,266
Peter.

29
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,479
Matt Montini
is always kickball team captain.

30
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:50,647
Let's go.

31
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:53,483
Matt Montini always has
someone to eat lunch with.

32
00:03:53,525 --> 00:03:55,152
What about Fred?

33
00:03:55,527 --> 00:03:57,154
Tate's a wuss.

34
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:02,451
What a dork!

35
00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:04,953
Tate's a loser! He's a loser!

36
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,554
At first, my teacher, Miss Nimvel,
told Dede that I never paid attention,

37
00:04:22,888 --> 00:04:24,765
that I was probably retarded,

38
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:29,019
and that I had a very limited future
as a citizen of the United States.

39
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:34,316
Then, a week later, she said I should
probably skip second grade,

40
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,569
maybe even skip
elementary school altogether.

41
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:42,824
B, Trudy.

42
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:46,161
All I want is someone to eat lunch with.

43
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:54,378
Ladies and gentlemen, who's next?

44
00:04:54,878 --> 00:04:56,547
Fred Tate?

45
00:04:57,047 --> 00:04:58,215
Fred Tate.

46
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:09,351
Freak.

47
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:15,774
All right. Let's all be good citizens
and be very, very quiet for Fred.

48
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:20,237
A visitor.

49
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,906
How lovely to see you, Miss Tate.

50
00:05:23,282 --> 00:05:26,618
Fred and I are just getting ready
to do a little duet.

51
00:05:27,077 --> 00:05:28,954
The kid's got an appointment.

52
00:05:29,204 --> 00:05:32,082
Then we'll just make it
one quickie little verse,

53
00:05:32,249 --> 00:05:33,500
if that's all right with you.

54
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:35,210
Yeah. Whatever.

55
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:36,420
Fred.

56
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,892
You were playing backwards again,
weren't you, kid?

57
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:52,227
It's a stupid song, Dede.

58
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:59,193
People are always asking me
who my dad is.

59
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:01,653
Dede says I don't have a dad.

60
00:06:01,737 --> 00:06:04,573
She says I'm the Immaculate Conception.

61
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,785
That's a pretty big responsibility
for a little kid.

62
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:16,001
Dr. Brockman, 4-7-2-9.

63
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:18,504
Dr. Brockman, 4-7-2-9.

64
00:06:18,754 --> 00:06:20,047
His allergies might be getting better,

65
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:23,175
but I see no improvement
in the stomach whatsoever.

66
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,636
Has he been following the diet?

67
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:27,262
Look, Freddie just doesn't like baby food.

68
00:06:27,304 --> 00:06:29,181
He never liked it.
Even when he was a baby, he didn't like it.

69
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:31,225
Does he like having an ulcer?

70
00:06:31,308 --> 00:06:34,561
Dede, if he doesn't follow the diet,
he's not gonna get better.

71
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:36,605
That's as simple as that.

72
00:06:37,981 --> 00:06:40,651
Jeez! Drink a little water, will you, Freddie?

73
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:43,445
I spilled some.

74
00:06:43,487 --> 00:06:44,696
So you did.

75
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:46,823
Why don't you wait for me
at the table. Okay?

76
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:48,367
We're almost through here.

77
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:52,329
I'll tell you, Dede,

78
00:06:52,371 --> 00:06:56,875
I've seen cops on the bomb squad
with better stomachs than he's got.

79
00:06:57,251 --> 00:06:58,836
He does worry a lot, you know.

80
00:06:58,877 --> 00:07:00,295
About what?

81
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:03,882
I don't know. About the world, about me.

82
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:08,762
The only thing he should be worrying about
is a loose tooth.

83
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:11,849
He's got his whole adult life
to be miserable.

84
00:07:14,226 --> 00:07:16,395
Hey, you know what day next Saturday is?

85
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:19,773
You get your period.
I spend the day alone in the park.

86
00:07:19,857 --> 00:07:22,359
Very funny, lame-o. It's your birthday.

87
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:27,239
-Oh, my God.
-Come on.

88
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:39,877
Fred.

89
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:42,880
Hey, turn that up, it's a good one.

90
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:49,887
Wait a minute. Let's get your shoes on.
There you go. You're heavy.

91
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:51,930
Care to cut-a-rug dance with me?

92
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:55,767
Remember how I showed you?

93
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:34,722
This one calls himself "Joey X,"
but his real name is Joseph Zimmerman.

94
00:08:34,765 --> 00:08:36,767
Twelve years old, experimental painter.

95
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,020
He's currently working
on a $200,000 commission

96
00:08:40,102 --> 00:08:43,106
for Hiroshi Electronics'
corporate headquarters in Tokyo.

97
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:44,775
What does he call this painting?

98
00:08:45,484 --> 00:08:46,568
Irony.

99
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:48,278
Write him down, please.

100
00:08:50,614 --> 00:08:51,698
Cherry Reynolds,

101
00:08:51,782 --> 00:08:54,952
ten years old, just published her own
volume of feminist poetry.

102
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:58,956
In the preface, she refers
to the American housewife as, and I quote,

103
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:03,085
"A pathetic slamhound
with no notion of self-worth whatsoever."

104
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:07,714
-Whatever I pay you, Garth, it's not enough.
-True.

105
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:11,134
Fred Tate, seven years old,

106
00:09:11,176 --> 00:09:13,428
second-grader at
Eisenhower Elementary School.

107
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:16,890
He writes poetry,
paints in, both, oils and water,

108
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:18,976
plays the piano at competition level,

109
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:21,812
all the while maintaining
what appear to be unlimited skills

110
00:09:21,854 --> 00:09:23,438
in math and physics.

111
00:09:24,106 --> 00:09:26,108
I can't explain it, Jane. I mean...

112
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,653
It's not so much what he knows,

113
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,656
but what he understands.

114
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:37,327
Death. There stands death,

115
00:09:37,369 --> 00:09:40,372
a bluish distillate in a cup without a saucer.

116
00:09:40,581 --> 00:09:43,000
Such a strange place to find a cup,

117
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:45,586
standing on the back of a hand.

118
00:09:45,669 --> 00:09:49,214
Oh, shooting star
that fell into my eyes and through my body,

119
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:51,675
not to forget you, to endure.

120
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:06,190
Has this boy been tested?

121
00:10:06,231 --> 00:10:09,109
Just the Stanford-Binet.
His numbers are here.

122
00:10:10,152 --> 00:10:11,945
This is extraordinary.

123
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:15,490
Where's the rest of his stuff?

124
00:10:16,033 --> 00:10:20,204
Apparently, the mother
refuses to let him take any other tests.

125
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:22,581
Well, what about the father?

126
00:10:23,081 --> 00:10:24,708
There's just her.
I don't know what happened to him.

127
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,293
She probably doesn't, either.

128
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,711
Did you send them our material?

129
00:10:27,753 --> 00:10:30,714
Yes. But I don't know if she'll respond.

130
00:10:32,049 --> 00:10:33,800
Well, keep trying.

131
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:36,803
Stupid woman.

132
00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:40,140
M-A-I-T-A-I.

133
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:41,808
Mai tai.

134
00:10:41,934 --> 00:10:45,270
Did I say margarita? I don't think so.

135
00:10:47,523 --> 00:10:50,150
Scotch rocks, vodka tonic, and a Bud.

136
00:10:50,442 --> 00:10:52,569
I don't know.
The kid's mind is just somewhere else.

137
00:10:52,736 --> 00:10:55,072
Maybe he's bored or something.
I don't know.

138
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:59,034
I mean, he hasn't said anything,
but I can tell.

139
00:10:59,201 --> 00:11:00,577
You heard a word I said?

140
00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:02,913
Yeah, I heard you, Dede. I always hear you.

141
00:11:02,955 --> 00:11:04,915
And today, your kid's bored.

142
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:07,417
Yesterday, he was having some
funny nightmares where he woke up.

143
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:10,712
He woke up inside of some
painting I never even heard of.

144
00:11:10,754 --> 00:11:12,923
The day before that,
correct me if I'm wrong,

145
00:11:12,965 --> 00:11:15,092
he wrote you an opera for Mother's Day.

146
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:17,928
I mean, Jesus, Dede,
if anyone's bored, it's me.

147
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:20,973
Am I that bad? I'm sorry.

148
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:24,935
-What?
-Come here.

149
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:26,144
What?

150
00:11:26,228 --> 00:11:27,563
I got a line on something.

151
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:28,772
Yeah?

152
00:11:29,147 --> 00:11:30,899
Guy comes in here yesterday.

153
00:11:30,941 --> 00:11:33,318
He owns this big hotel down in Orlando.

154
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:36,405
They do a show every night,
and he says he needs dancers.

155
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:41,493
Look at this place. It's beautiful.

156
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,872
Come on, Gina,
I ain't danced since I was 19.

157
00:11:44,955 --> 00:11:46,832
And even then, I wasn't so hot.

158
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:49,168
And, of course,
there's the matter of my big fat ass, too.

159
00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:52,796
Please. We're talking Orlando, honey,
not Vegas.

160
00:11:52,838 --> 00:11:55,299
I mean, down there,
if you can tap your feet, you're Madonna.

161
00:11:57,342 --> 00:12:00,888
Look, I say we go down there for the
summer, make a vacation out of it.

162
00:12:00,971 --> 00:12:03,974
Hey, you two wanna blab,
go work for the phone company.

163
00:12:04,474 --> 00:12:08,312
Why don't you take a pill, ape-shape?
All right? We're trying to talk here.

164
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:13,734
The place does look really nice.

165
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:16,820
Fred does like to swim.

166
00:12:25,746 --> 00:12:29,208
Contrary to what you're saying,
Miss Montoya,

167
00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:32,878
welfare is, in fact, bad for minorities.

168
00:12:33,504 --> 00:12:35,339
I mean, as a social worker,

169
00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:38,884
every day you must see people
who have simply given up.

170
00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:42,179
And who is to blame them?

171
00:12:42,804 --> 00:12:47,267
I mean, with people like yourself,
fighting for bigger and bigger handouts,

172
00:12:47,601 --> 00:12:49,770
there's no incentive...

173
00:13:01,823 --> 00:13:03,450
Dede.

174
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:05,702
Wake up.

175
00:13:07,037 --> 00:13:09,665
What? What's wrong, kid?

176
00:13:10,249 --> 00:13:11,542
Are you sick?

177
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,211
You feel okay to me.

178
00:13:15,003 --> 00:13:16,588
This is for you.

179
00:13:18,841 --> 00:13:21,176
Looks like somebody already opened it.

180
00:13:21,218 --> 00:13:23,470
It's from the Grierson School.

181
00:13:24,054 --> 00:13:25,639
They wanna meet us.

182
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:28,058
Yeah, yeah. I can read it, Fred.

183
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:33,480
Do me a favor. I had a bad night.
Go get your mother a Coke, okay?

184
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,650
Come on. I'd do it for you.

185
00:13:40,696 --> 00:13:44,324
This jerk said he's got all his stuff
separated into, like,

186
00:13:44,408 --> 00:13:48,579
whites, off-whites, whites with stripes,
whites with polka dots. Everything.

187
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:52,291
He's got, like, 10 dryers all to himself.
Driving me crazy.

188
00:13:52,374 --> 00:13:54,251
Do you know what I do?

189
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:59,339
I go outside and I kick his car,
so that his siren goes off.

190
00:13:59,423 --> 00:14:02,050
His little alarm's going off,
he comes back in screaming,

191
00:14:02,092 --> 00:14:05,679
and he goes,
"Hey, what happened to my briefs?"

192
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:07,139
So you know what I do?

193
00:14:07,222 --> 00:14:09,600
I start talking like I don't speak English.

194
00:14:17,941 --> 00:14:20,277
Hey, I hit anybody?

195
00:14:20,819 --> 00:14:22,321
I'm trying to read.

196
00:14:22,738 --> 00:14:25,616
Why are you such a Crabby Appleton for?

197
00:14:28,327 --> 00:14:30,954
The Mathematician. Any good?

198
00:14:31,997 --> 00:14:35,626
The Mathemagician.
It's Jane Grierson's new book.

199
00:14:37,878 --> 00:14:40,464
Jane Grierson again. Great.

200
00:14:40,631 --> 00:14:41,965
This boy, Damon Wells,

201
00:14:42,007 --> 00:14:46,970
can multiply two columns
of 20-digit numbers in five minutes.

202
00:14:50,474 --> 00:14:54,228
When Jane Grierson found him,
he was living in a foster home.

203
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:56,813
Now he travels all over the place.

204
00:14:57,773 --> 00:14:58,982
Really?

205
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:04,488
Dr. Grierson played the violin for the
Cleveland Philharmonic when she was 11.

206
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:07,824
The book about her or the kid?

207
00:15:12,329 --> 00:15:14,373
Looks like a real bozo in that cape.

208
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:26,260
Quit it.

209
00:15:28,095 --> 00:15:30,681
You got no sense of humor, you know that?

210
00:15:33,183 --> 00:15:36,353
All right, you win.
Come on, let's go. Put your shoes on.

211
00:15:36,395 --> 00:15:37,938
Come on.

212
00:15:46,655 --> 00:15:47,906
Hi.

213
00:15:48,490 --> 00:15:50,576
Garth Emmerick.
I'm Dr. Grierson's assistant.

214
00:15:52,286 --> 00:15:53,745
Dede Tate.

215
00:15:53,871 --> 00:15:55,956
Place is... It's nice.

216
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:59,126
You must be Fred.

217
00:15:59,376 --> 00:16:00,711
All set?

218
00:16:01,336 --> 00:16:04,256
Dr. Grierson likes to meet
the children by themselves.

219
00:16:04,882 --> 00:16:08,302
Feel free to wander around.
The interview should take a while.

220
00:16:11,305 --> 00:16:12,556
It's okay, Fred.

221
00:16:12,723 --> 00:16:16,143
All right. Now, I'll meet you right back
down here when you get out, all right?

222
00:16:16,894 --> 00:16:18,604
Okay? Go ahead.

223
00:16:34,578 --> 00:16:38,415
Now make sure Jake
takes the full course of antibiotics.

224
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:45,464
Well, we wouldn't want him to come down
with some ear infection and miss the test.

225
00:16:46,048 --> 00:16:47,090
I'm sorry.

226
00:16:47,174 --> 00:16:49,259
I do realize that at some schools

227
00:16:49,343 --> 00:16:52,888
letters of recommendation
carry influence, but here,

228
00:16:52,930 --> 00:16:55,974
it's really test performance
that determines admission.

229
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:00,187
Now, did Garth give you a copy
of our pretest diet?

230
00:17:00,270 --> 00:17:02,814
But you have to make sure
he stays on that diet.

231
00:17:02,898 --> 00:17:04,023
We'll see you in two weeks.

232
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:08,612
Hello, Fred.

233
00:17:10,155 --> 00:17:11,823
I'm Jane Grierson.

234
00:17:12,532 --> 00:17:13,867
Do you know why you're here?

235
00:17:16,118 --> 00:17:17,829
How do you feel about it?

236
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:20,624
I'm hot.

237
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:25,671
Again.

238
00:17:32,803 --> 00:17:36,181
Fred, what's wrong in this picture?

239
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:50,946
This?

240
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:54,575
This?

241
00:17:55,284 --> 00:17:58,036
I wake up in his paintings sometimes.

242
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:06,461
Van Gogh.

243
00:18:24,730 --> 00:18:28,025
I wonder
why he only painted one iris white.

244
00:18:29,026 --> 00:18:31,486
Because he was lonely.

245
00:18:35,032 --> 00:18:37,534
Let's look at May.

246
00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:44,791
I like Sunflowers best.

247
00:18:51,715 --> 00:18:53,926
I understand you're quite a pianist.

248
00:19:29,378 --> 00:19:30,921
Check.

249
00:20:07,165 --> 00:20:09,084
That was lovely.

250
00:20:09,793 --> 00:20:12,963
Thank you very much. I really enjoyed that.

251
00:20:13,755 --> 00:20:17,217
Hey, Fred. I gotta go to work. Come on.

252
00:20:17,342 --> 00:20:21,221
Miss Tate, I'm Jane Grierson.

253
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,932
Please come in. Sit down.

254
00:20:30,939 --> 00:20:32,983
Your son is very talented.

255
00:20:33,609 --> 00:20:35,485
Yeah, I know.

256
00:20:37,946 --> 00:20:40,866
Every year, I take five students

257
00:20:40,949 --> 00:20:43,327
to compete in what we call
Odyssey of the Mind.

258
00:20:43,368 --> 00:20:46,830
It's a kind of mental Olympics, if you will.

259
00:20:47,497 --> 00:20:49,333
They're going to Disney World.

260
00:20:50,709 --> 00:20:52,878
Well, that's not the first thing
I would have told you, Miss Tate,

261
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:54,254
but it's true.

262
00:20:54,338 --> 00:20:56,381
Actually, we stop many places
along the way,

263
00:20:56,465 --> 00:20:58,342
including my ranch in Virginia.

264
00:20:58,383 --> 00:21:00,469
I like to pack as much learning experience

265
00:21:00,511 --> 00:21:02,804
into the three weeks as I possibly can.

266
00:21:04,806 --> 00:21:06,683
Yeah, well, I gotta go.

267
00:21:06,934 --> 00:21:08,227
Getting late.

268
00:21:11,313 --> 00:21:13,899
Miss Tate. Miss Tate, please.

269
00:21:14,858 --> 00:21:16,860
I didn't make myself clear.

270
00:21:17,027 --> 00:21:19,530
I'm inviting your son to come with us.

271
00:21:19,613 --> 00:21:20,864
If he enjoys himself,

272
00:21:20,906 --> 00:21:23,575
then he'll be free
to enroll in my school in the fall.

273
00:21:25,369 --> 00:21:27,120
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

274
00:21:27,204 --> 00:21:29,456
Look, I don't even know you.

275
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:31,875
Now, why would I let you
take my kid on some trip,

276
00:21:31,917 --> 00:21:35,003
let alone enroll him anywhere?

277
00:21:36,713 --> 00:21:38,215
I see.

278
00:21:38,507 --> 00:21:40,884
Well, in this case,
I'm sorry I wasted your time.

279
00:21:42,386 --> 00:21:44,346
Goodbye, Fred.

280
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,809
You may keep this calendar
since I won't be seeing you again.

281
00:21:48,892 --> 00:21:53,021
And that way, you can
look at Sunflowers anytime you want.

282
00:21:57,568 --> 00:21:59,069
Come on, kid.

283
00:22:00,445 --> 00:22:01,905
Come on, kiddo.

284
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,011
Fred, what the hell
do you think you're doing?

285
00:22:24,094 --> 00:22:25,095
I was just...

286
00:22:25,137 --> 00:22:26,763
You were just gonna
walk out into the God damn street!

287
00:22:26,805 --> 00:22:27,973
That's what you were gonna do.

288
00:22:28,056 --> 00:22:31,435
And you know better than that.
You always look first.

289
00:22:39,067 --> 00:22:42,112
Who can tell me
how many of these numbers

290
00:22:42,196 --> 00:22:44,489
are divisible by two?

291
00:22:47,451 --> 00:22:48,952
Anybody?

292
00:22:51,455 --> 00:22:52,623
Fred?

293
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,085
I know that you can tell me

294
00:22:57,127 --> 00:23:01,256
how many of these numbers
are divisible by two?

295
00:23:02,925 --> 00:23:04,593
All of them.

296
00:23:10,516 --> 00:23:12,267
Hey, check it out.

297
00:23:12,434 --> 00:23:15,270
Look it.
I thought we'd make our own invitations?

298
00:23:15,312 --> 00:23:17,147
Invitations for what?

299
00:23:17,439 --> 00:23:19,441
For your birthday party.

300
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:23,695
Why don't we just
go to McDonald's like we did last year?

301
00:23:23,904 --> 00:23:25,113
That was fun.

302
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:26,198
Yeah?

303
00:23:26,281 --> 00:23:29,076
Fun for who?
You threw up all over me, remember?

304
00:23:29,743 --> 00:23:32,079
I had to burn my favorite shirt
'cause of you.

305
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:33,413
Stinky!

306
00:23:34,289 --> 00:23:35,541
The mail's here.

307
00:23:35,624 --> 00:23:38,877
All right. Let's see if that chain letter
thing you did paid off?

308
00:23:38,961 --> 00:23:40,754
What do you got? The phone bill,

309
00:23:40,838 --> 00:23:43,257
-gas bill, water bill...
-Throw this one away.

310
00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:44,341
Yeah, how come?

311
00:23:44,424 --> 00:23:47,803
We left them a deposit,
they can just take it out of that.

312
00:23:47,928 --> 00:23:49,179
Fair enough.

313
00:23:51,181 --> 00:23:52,850
Here we go.

314
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:55,853
So what do you want
for your birthday this year?

315
00:23:55,936 --> 00:23:57,062
Nothing.

316
00:23:57,145 --> 00:23:59,064
Nothing? Oops.

317
00:23:59,648 --> 00:24:02,359
How about one of those Lego things? Hey.

318
00:24:03,026 --> 00:24:04,903
What's the matter with the toaster?

319
00:24:04,987 --> 00:24:06,947
Nothing. I was fixing it.

320
00:24:07,489 --> 00:24:10,117
Well, fixing means
to repair something that is broken,

321
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,995
not to break something
that works just fine the way it is.

322
00:24:15,664 --> 00:24:17,708
Every little kid
should have a birthday party.

323
00:24:17,749 --> 00:24:21,920
It's fun, you'll see.
Get some hot dogs, ice cream and cake?

324
00:24:22,004 --> 00:24:24,673
Pin the tail on the donkey?

325
00:24:29,094 --> 00:24:32,514
It's next Saturday
at 12:00 at my apartment.

326
00:24:35,184 --> 00:24:36,894
Give me one.

327
00:24:39,521 --> 00:24:41,857
-Give me that!
-I'll take that.

328
00:24:43,108 --> 00:24:44,776
Come on, guys!

329
00:24:47,738 --> 00:24:49,573
Hurry up.

330
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,414
Over the years, scores of gifted
youngsters have been hailed as geniuses.

331
00:24:57,456 --> 00:25:02,085
Many gifted children go through some
period of existential depression.

332
00:25:03,629 --> 00:25:07,049
Pain of the mind
can often be worse than pain of the body.

333
00:25:07,090 --> 00:25:11,011
There's some ground for belief that
genius is touched with madness.

334
00:25:13,597 --> 00:25:16,099
Dede. Dede! Dede!

335
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,435
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

336
00:25:21,355 --> 00:25:22,773
It's okay.

337
00:25:22,981 --> 00:25:25,317
Did you wake up in another painting?

338
00:25:27,861 --> 00:25:29,112
Cortin.

339
00:25:29,738 --> 00:25:31,156
Cortin?

340
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,285
I don't really know his work.

341
00:25:35,327 --> 00:25:36,620
Cortin?

342
00:25:36,995 --> 00:25:40,123
It's a secretion
that comes from some gland.

343
00:25:40,332 --> 00:25:42,459
I forget which one.

344
00:25:43,126 --> 00:25:46,505
It can turn a little kid
into an old man, Dede.

345
00:25:47,464 --> 00:25:51,510
Well, you don't seem to be
secreting anything now.

346
00:25:53,011 --> 00:25:55,055
I'll tell you what, though.

347
00:25:56,139 --> 00:25:58,058
Tomorrow, after your birthday,

348
00:25:58,141 --> 00:26:00,978
we'll go to the library
and we'll look it up, okay?

349
00:26:01,061 --> 00:26:02,646
What about work?

350
00:26:03,939 --> 00:26:05,649
Don't worry about work.

351
00:26:06,692 --> 00:26:08,402
All right. Just try and get some sleep

352
00:26:08,485 --> 00:26:10,487
'cause you ain't been
sleeping enough lately.

353
00:26:10,571 --> 00:26:11,822
I can't.

354
00:26:12,406 --> 00:26:13,991
You can't?

355
00:26:14,658 --> 00:26:16,743
You wanna do shadows?

356
00:26:17,661 --> 00:26:18,912
Okay.

357
00:26:19,329 --> 00:26:21,582
All right. We'll do shadows in here.

358
00:26:21,999 --> 00:26:23,333
All right.

359
00:26:25,335 --> 00:26:26,962
How about that one right up there?

360
00:26:27,087 --> 00:26:29,590
It's kinda pointy. You see that one?

361
00:26:30,507 --> 00:26:32,843
A man and a boy on a clipper ship.

362
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,804
Yeah.

363
00:26:35,846 --> 00:26:38,724
How about that one next to it with the
little round circle on the side?

364
00:26:38,807 --> 00:26:40,184
What's that?

365
00:26:40,642 --> 00:26:42,269
A whale on fire?

366
00:26:43,437 --> 00:26:45,314
Let's try the other side now.

367
00:26:45,731 --> 00:26:47,316
See right there in the corner?

368
00:26:47,357 --> 00:26:49,484
Kind of round things all on the side?

369
00:26:49,985 --> 00:26:52,571
Got three little points. What's that?

370
00:26:53,906 --> 00:26:56,658
I don't want a birthday party, Dede.

371
00:26:58,035 --> 00:26:59,995
Of course, you do.

372
00:27:00,245 --> 00:27:02,998
Every little kid wants a birthday party.

373
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:51,713
Hello.

374
00:27:53,173 --> 00:27:56,385
-Jane Grierson, please.
-Speaking.

375
00:27:57,094 --> 00:28:00,389
Hi. This is Dede Tate. I'm Fred's mom.

376
00:28:01,014 --> 00:28:02,391
Yes.

377
00:28:03,016 --> 00:28:04,852
Yeah, I was just...

378
00:28:04,935 --> 00:28:08,188
I was wondering,
you know that trip you were talking about?

379
00:28:08,272 --> 00:28:10,399
Yes. What about it?

380
00:28:10,691 --> 00:28:13,527
Yeah, well, it's just for
a couple weeks, right?

381
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:17,281
Miss Tate, I'm sorry,
but I've already selected my students.

382
00:28:18,031 --> 00:28:20,993
Look, I don't know how much
you know about Fred, okay,

383
00:28:21,076 --> 00:28:22,703
but the kid is amazing.

384
00:28:22,786 --> 00:28:25,956
He writes, he paints. He does everything.

385
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:27,958
You should see
this painting that he made for me.

386
00:28:28,041 --> 00:28:30,210
It's, like, incredible, so...

387
00:28:31,086 --> 00:28:32,629
Just a minute here.

388
00:28:32,713 --> 00:28:35,799
Why are you suddenly changing your mind?

389
00:28:37,634 --> 00:28:38,927
Excuse me?

390
00:28:39,553 --> 00:28:42,306
Well, I don't mean to pry,

391
00:28:43,891 --> 00:28:45,017
but do you need time alone,

392
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:47,936
or have you made some plans
that don't include your son?

393
00:28:48,979 --> 00:28:53,400
Look, lady, you wanna
make me work for it, that's fine. Okay?

394
00:28:53,942 --> 00:28:56,987
But you and I both know
that Fred's 100 times smarter

395
00:28:57,070 --> 00:28:59,489
than any of those other little
plateheads you got at that school.

396
00:28:59,531 --> 00:29:01,783
Now, you want him or not?

397
00:29:03,952 --> 00:29:05,370
Does he have a suitcase?

398
00:29:38,195 --> 00:29:40,906
Of course, every parent would
like to think of their child

399
00:29:40,989 --> 00:29:42,824
as gifted in one way or another.

400
00:29:45,118 --> 00:29:46,370
Stop it!

401
00:29:46,411 --> 00:29:47,663
Ti pots.

402
00:29:48,372 --> 00:29:50,874
Jane, he's talking backwards again.

403
00:29:52,709 --> 00:29:55,963
I got some kind of hellacious booger
hanging out of my nose or something?

404
00:29:56,046 --> 00:29:58,549
I mean, what... What are you staring at?

405
00:29:58,924 --> 00:30:00,968
You're the Mathemagician.

406
00:30:01,176 --> 00:30:04,346
Want an autograph?
Go scrounge a pen, I'll sign your forehead.

407
00:30:06,431 --> 00:30:09,434
Hey, Damon,
how about a game of Magic Digit?

408
00:30:09,726 --> 00:30:12,062
Check out this magic digit, Garth.

409
00:30:12,980 --> 00:30:14,314
Now, Damon.

410
00:30:14,398 --> 00:30:17,317
You're being hostile.
We agreed that you would work on that.

411
00:30:17,776 --> 00:30:21,071
Excusez-moi, Jenny-poo.
But I've been working on a problem all day.

412
00:30:21,113 --> 00:30:23,991
I haven't slept in a week
because of that God damn frog nightmare,

413
00:30:24,074 --> 00:30:27,202
and I'm hungry.
I get pissed off when I'm hungry.

414
00:30:29,246 --> 00:30:31,582
Here, have a Fig Newton.

415
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:47,306
Give it back.

416
00:30:58,775 --> 00:31:03,197
Well, it's official, Garth.
You've mis-navigated and now we're lost.

417
00:31:07,451 --> 00:31:09,453
Sir,

418
00:31:09,828 --> 00:31:11,371
perhaps you would take a few moments

419
00:31:11,455 --> 00:31:14,458
and show the children
how an internal combustion engine works.

420
00:31:25,135 --> 00:31:28,931
It's said that the genius learns
without study

421
00:31:29,139 --> 00:31:31,141
and knows without learning

422
00:31:31,808 --> 00:31:34,311
that he is eloquent without preparation,

423
00:31:34,394 --> 00:31:36,772
exact without calculation,

424
00:31:36,813 --> 00:31:39,149
and profound without reflection.

425
00:31:39,858 --> 00:31:42,986
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

426
00:31:43,445 --> 00:31:45,697
it is with great pleasure
that I welcome you all

427
00:31:45,781 --> 00:31:49,159
to the 13th Annual Odyssey of the Mind.

428
00:31:57,084 --> 00:32:01,171
Now, you have been
captured by Polyphemus,

429
00:32:01,463 --> 00:32:04,007
and you have 60 seconds

430
00:32:04,049 --> 00:32:09,179
to write or draw graffiti
pertaining to your situation.

431
00:32:09,221 --> 00:32:10,848
Go!

432
00:32:22,693 --> 00:32:24,903
Little boy, don't touch that.

433
00:32:25,112 --> 00:32:29,408
Okay, now, you have four minutes
to complete your bridge.

434
00:32:32,619 --> 00:32:36,832
Today, Goldilocks is on trial.
The charge is breaking and entering.

435
00:32:36,874 --> 00:32:39,251
All right, we're ready for opening remarks.

436
00:32:39,877 --> 00:32:45,090
Just because I'm tired and hungry
and blond,

437
00:32:45,174 --> 00:32:48,051
well, it simply doesn't mean I can
waltz onto private property

438
00:32:48,135 --> 00:32:50,262
and make myself at home.

439
00:32:50,345 --> 00:32:52,431
Now, our crybaby defense,

440
00:32:52,514 --> 00:32:55,559
they'd like to try to turn this
into an issue on homelessness.

441
00:32:55,642 --> 00:32:56,894
But we can't forget the law,

442
00:32:57,186 --> 00:32:58,687
and the law clearly states,

443
00:32:58,729 --> 00:33:01,565
book 3, paragraph 5-3-5-0-8-7-5,

444
00:33:02,441 --> 00:33:05,319
that what Goldilocks did
was against the law.

445
00:33:15,579 --> 00:33:19,791
Well, it's certainly
much quieter out here, isn't it?

446
00:33:20,959 --> 00:33:23,003
Do you mind if I sit down?

447
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,016
Fred?

448
00:33:44,775 --> 00:33:46,443
This is beautiful.

449
00:33:46,735 --> 00:33:48,237
Why don't we go show the others?

450
00:33:52,908 --> 00:33:55,160
Nobody's gonna laugh at you.

451
00:33:57,079 --> 00:33:59,122
I'm not gonna let them.

452
00:34:08,882 --> 00:34:12,511
All right. Let's begin
with another round of questions.

453
00:34:14,388 --> 00:34:17,891
How many minutes are there in 48 years?

454
00:34:17,975 --> 00:34:21,311
25,228,800 minutes.

455
00:34:22,603 --> 00:34:26,149
151,368,000 seconds.

456
00:34:26,358 --> 00:34:28,193
That's very good. Ready for another one?

457
00:34:29,527 --> 00:34:32,406
How many factors are there of 3,067?

458
00:34:33,489 --> 00:34:34,992
Come on, guys.

459
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,661
There are no factors of 3,067.

460
00:34:37,703 --> 00:34:38,954
The number's prime.

461
00:34:38,996 --> 00:34:42,583
Well, another correct answer
from Damon Wells.

462
00:34:43,417 --> 00:34:47,420
Somebody, for God's sake, challenge me.

463
00:34:47,838 --> 00:34:51,550
Okay, how about giving me a number

464
00:34:51,632 --> 00:34:54,761
that when divided
by the product of its digits,

465
00:34:54,844 --> 00:34:56,722
the quotient is 3,

466
00:34:56,804 --> 00:34:59,641
and if you were to add 18 to this number,

467
00:34:59,683 --> 00:35:01,852
the digits would be inverted?

468
00:35:12,196 --> 00:35:13,947
24.

469
00:35:15,073 --> 00:35:16,867
That is correct, Damon.

470
00:35:16,909 --> 00:35:18,535
What's right? I didn't say anything.

471
00:35:18,911 --> 00:35:20,454
You said 24.

472
00:35:20,537 --> 00:35:24,124
Well, no, I didn't.
I mean, I would have. But...

473
00:35:38,222 --> 00:35:40,182
Open your mouth like that again,
diaper dick,

474
00:35:40,224 --> 00:35:41,308
and I'm gonna put my foot in it.

475
00:35:41,391 --> 00:35:43,477
-It was an accident.
-I don't give a damn what it was.

476
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,895
Don't let it happen again!

477
00:35:44,978 --> 00:35:48,065
Damon! Damon, what are you doing?

478
00:35:48,482 --> 00:35:50,484
Fred and I were just having a little chat.

479
00:35:50,567 --> 00:35:53,237
I wouldn't call ripping his hair out chatting!

480
00:35:53,278 --> 00:35:55,906
Hey, look, I was rolling in there
till the little quark stepped in.

481
00:35:56,114 --> 00:35:59,910
Damon, now, contrary
to what you might think,

482
00:36:00,077 --> 00:36:02,871
this is not Caesars Palace
and you are not Wayne Newton.

483
00:36:02,913 --> 00:36:06,416
And you're not Freud.
So why don't you just give it a rest.

484
00:36:06,458 --> 00:36:08,585
And get a life, will you?

485
00:36:08,669 --> 00:36:12,214
Hey, don't cry, lepton.
You can do the math tomorrow.

486
00:36:12,256 --> 00:36:13,382
I was bored anyway.

487
00:36:15,592 --> 00:36:17,427
Shotgun.

488
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:23,475
Fred...

489
00:36:23,892 --> 00:36:25,769
Fred, are you all right?

490
00:36:26,937 --> 00:36:28,939
Why is he so mean to you?

491
00:36:36,864 --> 00:36:38,448
One thousand and eight.

492
00:36:39,116 --> 00:36:40,367
That's correct.

493
00:36:42,369 --> 00:36:47,749
Fred, what's the cube root of 3,796,466?

494
00:36:48,834 --> 00:36:50,669
One hundred and fifty-six.

495
00:36:50,961 --> 00:36:52,171
Correct.

496
00:36:55,507 --> 00:36:58,468
What number has the following peculiarity

497
00:36:58,552 --> 00:37:01,638
that if its cube
were added to five times its square,

498
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,141
and from the result, 42 times the number

499
00:37:04,224 --> 00:37:08,145
and 40 is subtracted,
the remainder is nothing?

500
00:37:09,605 --> 00:37:11,064
Five?

501
00:37:11,565 --> 00:37:13,483
Correct.

502
00:37:23,619 --> 00:37:25,579
You can see all the way to Neptune.

503
00:37:25,662 --> 00:37:26,997
Wow.

504
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:29,124
The telescope moves all by itself.

505
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:30,250
Yeah?

506
00:37:30,334 --> 00:37:32,336
Just like the Earth does.

507
00:37:33,420 --> 00:37:35,714
-And you know what else?
-What?

508
00:37:35,797 --> 00:37:38,091
On Friday, we're going to Jane's ranch.

509
00:37:38,175 --> 00:37:40,719
Sounds like you're having lots of fun, kid.

510
00:37:42,054 --> 00:37:43,472
Miss you, though.

511
00:37:43,722 --> 00:37:45,265
Miss you big.

512
00:37:45,933 --> 00:37:46,934
Me, too.

513
00:37:47,017 --> 00:37:48,185
Now, go back to sleep.

514
00:37:48,268 --> 00:37:50,020
Okay. Good night, Dede.

515
00:37:50,103 --> 00:37:51,355
Good night.

516
00:37:52,356 --> 00:37:54,191
No! I won't eat it!

517
00:37:55,108 --> 00:37:57,277
What are you looking at, lepton?

518
00:38:05,077 --> 00:38:06,245
Jane!

519
00:38:06,328 --> 00:38:08,622
All right, now, who has a song?

520
00:38:10,123 --> 00:38:14,378
When I was a girl, we used to sing
Liebeslieder-Walzer on our car trips.

521
00:38:28,892 --> 00:38:30,227
Come on.

522
00:38:43,574 --> 00:38:47,369
My great-great grandparents
built this house right after the Civil War.

523
00:38:47,411 --> 00:38:51,498
Now, who can tell me
what style of architecture this is?

524
00:38:51,582 --> 00:38:53,584
Is this shaker or neoclassical?

525
00:38:55,210 --> 00:38:57,296
Come on, wait for me.

526
00:39:25,449 --> 00:39:27,701
Edward Solomon joins Livewire tomorrow

527
00:39:27,784 --> 00:39:31,330
to answer that question
as well as talk about his current bestseller,

528
00:39:31,413 --> 00:39:34,249
Family of One: Today's Career Woman.

529
00:39:36,043 --> 00:39:38,295
I just wanted to put this back.

530
00:39:42,966 --> 00:39:44,134
Tell me, Fred,

531
00:39:44,218 --> 00:39:46,678
why won't your mother
let you take any more tests?

532
00:39:50,140 --> 00:39:51,308
Well, that's wrong of her.

533
00:39:51,975 --> 00:39:55,479
You must tell her that your
intelligence is nothing to hide from.

534
00:40:02,569 --> 00:40:04,112
Are these your parents?

535
00:40:06,406 --> 00:40:08,033
This is your father.

536
00:40:10,077 --> 00:40:11,161
Yes.

537
00:40:12,704 --> 00:40:15,415
Yes, he was a terrific music lover.

538
00:40:17,835 --> 00:40:21,755
In fact, when I was your age,
I used to play the violin.

539
00:40:22,172 --> 00:40:24,299
How come you don't play now?

540
00:40:24,967 --> 00:40:30,055
Well, we decided that I would be happier
pursuing my academic career.

541
00:40:31,890 --> 00:40:34,226
How come you're not in
any of these pictures?

542
00:40:34,309 --> 00:40:36,854
I'm sure I'm in some of them.

543
00:40:37,187 --> 00:40:38,689
No, you're not.

544
00:40:41,942 --> 00:40:43,443
Well.

545
00:40:49,283 --> 00:40:52,077
Both my parents were very busy people.

546
00:40:52,452 --> 00:40:54,872
They were both physicians.

547
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,334
They both lectured a lot, traveled a lot.

548
00:40:59,376 --> 00:41:01,712
Sometimes, they just needed to be alone.

549
00:41:04,131 --> 00:41:07,009
If they traveled a lot, they were alone.

550
00:41:12,139 --> 00:41:14,558
Well, it's time for bed.

551
00:41:24,067 --> 00:41:25,736
Good night, Fred.

552
00:42:14,993 --> 00:42:16,578
Damon.

553
00:42:25,212 --> 00:42:26,922
What are you doing?

554
00:42:27,130 --> 00:42:29,758
I'm waxing my Buick.
What the hell does it look like I'm doing?

555
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,677
What are you so mad at?

556
00:42:32,469 --> 00:42:36,473
I notice you and Jane are getting to be
as close as a couple of fingers.

557
00:42:36,890 --> 00:42:38,767
Bet back in the slum,
you got friends up the yin-yang.

558
00:42:38,892 --> 00:42:39,977
Am I right, or am I right?

559
00:42:42,104 --> 00:42:43,272
No.

560
00:42:43,856 --> 00:42:46,191
I don't have any friends at home.

561
00:42:48,193 --> 00:42:51,864
Well, then, boo-hoo, Fred.
I'm all busted up inside.

562
00:42:54,408 --> 00:42:55,617
What about you?

563
00:42:56,660 --> 00:42:58,871
Come on, wake up and face north, twink.

564
00:42:58,954 --> 00:43:00,998
I'm an asshole. Assholes don't have friends.

565
00:43:01,498 --> 00:43:03,584
But, then, I don't really care.

566
00:43:05,335 --> 00:43:06,628
You don't?

567
00:43:06,670 --> 00:43:09,298
The reasonable man
adapts himself to the world around him.

568
00:43:09,339 --> 00:43:11,884
The unreasonable man
expects the world to adapt to him.

569
00:43:11,967 --> 00:43:14,803
Therefore, all progress is made
by unreasonable men.

570
00:43:14,845 --> 00:43:16,138
Jane say that?

571
00:43:16,180 --> 00:43:18,223
It's George Bernard Shaw.

572
00:43:20,017 --> 00:43:21,727
You like to ride horses?

573
00:43:21,810 --> 00:43:23,187
I don't know how.

574
00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:25,147
Well, then, today's your lucky day.

575
00:43:33,197 --> 00:43:34,531
When I was a kid,

576
00:43:34,615 --> 00:43:37,743
the guy would grab me by the neck,
and he'd shake me and say,

577
00:43:37,826 --> 00:43:41,330
"So, shithead, you think you're
smarter than your old man?"

578
00:43:41,747 --> 00:43:43,290
Well, were you?

579
00:43:44,875 --> 00:43:46,960
I'm smarter than everybody.

580
00:43:47,044 --> 00:43:48,378
Well, except Jane.

581
00:43:50,756 --> 00:43:52,382
I don't know, guys like me,

582
00:43:52,966 --> 00:43:54,384
and maybe you,

583
00:43:54,885 --> 00:43:55,886
we're different.

584
00:43:55,969 --> 00:44:00,849
I mean, I hate to admit it, but without Jane,
I'd be just another creep in a cape.

585
00:44:03,227 --> 00:44:04,728
I don't know,
the only drag is listening to her

586
00:44:04,770 --> 00:44:07,564
give those same
stupid lectures over and over.

587
00:44:07,606 --> 00:44:09,316
If it weren't for the game, I'd go crazy.

588
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,652
The game?

589
00:44:12,110 --> 00:44:13,237
Yeah, see,

590
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,280
sometimes instead of
actually listening to her,

591
00:44:15,364 --> 00:44:17,699
I just count the words she says.

592
00:44:18,617 --> 00:44:20,327
Actually, I count everything.

593
00:44:20,410 --> 00:44:23,163
Buildings, dance steps,

594
00:44:23,580 --> 00:44:26,083
air space, trees.

595
00:44:28,085 --> 00:44:29,461
Wow.

596
00:44:51,149 --> 00:44:54,695
See, Fred, it's not the size
of a guy's IQ that matters,

597
00:44:56,154 --> 00:44:57,781
it's how he uses it.

598
00:44:59,074 --> 00:45:00,659
I like you, Damon.

599
00:45:02,119 --> 00:45:04,788
Come on. I'll race you back.

600
00:45:41,867 --> 00:45:43,035
Damon?

601
00:45:44,953 --> 00:45:45,996
Damon?

602
00:45:46,496 --> 00:45:47,748
Damon.

603
00:45:49,917 --> 00:45:52,252
Damon, how many fingers?

604
00:45:54,338 --> 00:45:55,506
Orange.

605
00:45:56,131 --> 00:45:57,674
You'll be fine.

606
00:46:22,908 --> 00:46:24,660
Fred, here's your jacket.

607
00:46:24,743 --> 00:46:26,870
Bye-bye, Fred. I hope I'll see you soon.

608
00:46:27,538 --> 00:46:28,664
Bye, Fred.

609
00:46:28,705 --> 00:46:30,791
-Bye, Fred!
-Bye-bye, Fred.

610
00:46:31,375 --> 00:46:32,918
See you around!

611
00:46:37,089 --> 00:46:38,382
Hey.

612
00:46:41,051 --> 00:46:43,053
Let me take these, okay?

613
00:46:47,933 --> 00:46:49,560
Come on. Let's go.

614
00:46:49,726 --> 00:46:51,353
I'm gonna make your favorite dinner.

615
00:46:51,395 --> 00:46:53,647
French toast and fried apples.

616
00:47:05,409 --> 00:47:06,910
Hey, ta-da.

617
00:47:10,414 --> 00:47:12,040
You know,
money's been kind of tight lately,

618
00:47:12,082 --> 00:47:16,003
but I'll think of something.
Don't worry about it, okay, kid?

619
00:47:24,928 --> 00:47:28,390
You didn't paint
the right number of keys on here, lepton.

620
00:47:29,933 --> 00:47:31,768
I ran out of paint.

621
00:47:32,102 --> 00:47:33,520
What'd you just call me?

622
00:47:34,771 --> 00:47:37,316
-Lepton.
-What the hell's that?

623
00:47:38,442 --> 00:47:39,776
You wouldn't understand.

624
00:47:39,860 --> 00:47:42,529
Whoa, wait a minute.
So speak slowly, then.

625
00:47:42,613 --> 00:47:43,780
Okay.

626
00:47:44,323 --> 00:47:46,617
A lepton is a Z particle.

627
00:47:47,117 --> 00:47:48,118
So?

628
00:47:48,327 --> 00:47:50,913
Do you know what protons
and electrons are?

629
00:47:51,622 --> 00:47:52,789
Yeah.

630
00:47:53,165 --> 00:47:55,501
Okay. What are they?

631
00:47:59,963 --> 00:48:01,381
They're those...

632
00:48:01,465 --> 00:48:04,384
Those teeny, tiny things
that atoms are made out of.

633
00:48:05,177 --> 00:48:07,471
Well, leptons are even smaller.

634
00:48:11,517 --> 00:48:13,310
So, have you looked for a new job yet?

635
00:48:20,442 --> 00:48:21,485
Hello?

636
00:48:21,568 --> 00:48:22,861
Hello, is Derf there?

637
00:48:22,945 --> 00:48:24,321
Derf? There is no Derf here.

638
00:48:24,363 --> 00:48:25,697
-You got the wrong number.
-Wait.

639
00:48:25,781 --> 00:48:27,658
That's Bob Yee.

640
00:48:28,116 --> 00:48:30,077
Hi, Bob. What are you doing?

641
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,455
Hey, guess what?
I got that job at TRW this fall.

642
00:48:33,830 --> 00:48:35,415
Really? Wow.

643
00:48:35,499 --> 00:48:37,668
So, what are you doing?

644
00:48:38,252 --> 00:48:40,170
Nothing. Just sitting around.

645
00:48:40,212 --> 00:48:43,674
Think Damon will be okay?
For a second I thought he was dead.

646
00:48:43,757 --> 00:48:47,344
I thought he was dead, too.
But Jane says it's just a concussion.

647
00:48:47,427 --> 00:48:48,804
Jane knows CPR.

648
00:48:48,846 --> 00:48:51,056
Yeah, I know, she learned it in Switzerland.

649
00:48:51,139 --> 00:48:53,392
She did? I didn't know that.

650
00:48:53,475 --> 00:48:56,520
She told me she was
gonna teach me sometime.

651
00:48:56,603 --> 00:48:59,690
Did you know Jane speaks
five different languages?

652
00:48:59,731 --> 00:49:01,024
She does.

653
00:49:07,072 --> 00:49:09,700
Clipper ships by Matt Montini.

654
00:49:10,117 --> 00:49:12,160
"Me and my dad make
models of clipper ships.

655
00:49:12,786 --> 00:49:15,539
"I like clipper ships because they are fast.

656
00:49:15,622 --> 00:49:18,166
"Clipper ships sail in the ocean.

657
00:49:18,208 --> 00:49:20,169
"Clipper ships never sail on rivers or lakes.

658
00:49:21,044 --> 00:49:24,214
"Clipper ships have lots of
sails and are made out of wood."

659
00:49:25,716 --> 00:49:27,634
Thank you, Matt. That was very nice.

660
00:49:28,886 --> 00:49:31,722
Okay, who's next?

661
00:49:36,435 --> 00:49:38,520
I want to write a book about Fred.

662
00:49:39,229 --> 00:49:42,441
About his formative experiences,

663
00:49:42,983 --> 00:49:45,068
his life story, if you will.

664
00:49:47,863 --> 00:49:49,489
Gonna be a short book.

665
00:49:50,073 --> 00:49:51,408
Miss Tate, over the years

666
00:49:51,491 --> 00:49:54,536
I've met many math and music prodigies,

667
00:49:54,661 --> 00:49:58,582
but never one with Fred's kind of intuition.

668
00:49:58,624 --> 00:50:00,042
His...

669
00:50:01,585 --> 00:50:03,253
His kind of...

670
00:50:04,213 --> 00:50:05,589
Sensitivity.

671
00:50:06,590 --> 00:50:10,302
This summer, I've been asked to
teach a class at Fieldhurst.

672
00:50:10,677 --> 00:50:14,056
And I'd like to use that time
to really observe Fred.

673
00:50:14,515 --> 00:50:19,436
He would take a class and in return,
I would waive his tuition at the institute

674
00:50:19,478 --> 00:50:22,648
for as long as he attends.

675
00:50:24,942 --> 00:50:26,735
Wait. Wait a minute.

676
00:50:28,529 --> 00:50:30,322
You wanna take Fred to college?

677
00:50:30,781 --> 00:50:32,115
Just for the summer.

678
00:50:33,492 --> 00:50:36,828
Why can't you just wait
and, like, observe him in the fall?

679
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,915
Well, I wouldn't have time.
I'll be busy running the institute.

680
00:50:40,791 --> 00:50:43,252
Well, as it happens, we already got plans.

681
00:50:43,836 --> 00:50:46,088
Me and a friend of mine
got really good jobs dancing

682
00:50:46,129 --> 00:50:47,965
at this hotel in Orlando for the summer.

683
00:50:48,048 --> 00:50:51,552
So, the place is really nice.
I mean, it's got a big pool and everything.

684
00:50:52,678 --> 00:50:53,887
A pool?

685
00:50:54,555 --> 00:50:56,348
Yeah. So that's that.

686
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,142
Miss Tate, Fred is not a leper.

687
00:50:59,476 --> 00:51:03,230
Intelligence is not a disease
that you have to protect him from.

688
00:51:03,313 --> 00:51:06,191
He's blessed, but he's certainly not alone.

689
00:51:06,275 --> 00:51:08,443
There are many gifted children out there.

690
00:51:08,485 --> 00:51:09,653
Yeah?

691
00:51:09,862 --> 00:51:13,156
How many of them are blessed with ulcers?

692
00:51:13,824 --> 00:51:16,034
And how many of them
go to bed every night

693
00:51:16,118 --> 00:51:18,120
worrying about the ozone layer,

694
00:51:18,161 --> 00:51:21,707
and the rain forest, and why innocent
people get murdered all the time?

695
00:51:22,916 --> 00:51:25,669
Fred worries about everything.
He can't help himself.

696
00:51:26,128 --> 00:51:28,380
You want to send him to college.

697
00:51:28,463 --> 00:51:29,840
Jeez.

698
00:51:29,923 --> 00:51:32,467
You hear about kids all the time
10 years older than him

699
00:51:32,509 --> 00:51:33,844
who are jumping out of windows

700
00:51:33,927 --> 00:51:35,470
on account of they can't
handle the pressure.

701
00:51:35,637 --> 00:51:37,306
Now, let's not get hysterical.

702
00:51:37,347 --> 00:51:39,850
We're talking about one class
for one summer.

703
00:51:40,642 --> 00:51:42,436
I told you, we already made plans.

704
00:51:43,854 --> 00:51:46,440
What I'm trying to tell you, Miss Tate,
is that right now

705
00:51:46,523 --> 00:51:50,110
your son is starving
for stimulation and challenge

706
00:51:50,194 --> 00:51:52,279
and for some order in his life.

707
00:51:52,362 --> 00:51:54,865
Things that you don't provide,
but that I will.

708
00:51:55,866 --> 00:51:59,912
I know that to deny a child's potential
is to smother his true self.

709
00:51:59,995 --> 00:52:02,497
Fred doesn't give a shit about his potential.

710
00:52:02,539 --> 00:52:05,542
He just wants to be a normal,
happy little kid.

711
00:52:05,876 --> 00:52:08,545
Well, he's not normal. Thank God.

712
00:52:08,921 --> 00:52:10,589
And he's certainly not happy.

713
00:52:10,964 --> 00:52:13,133
And you underestimate him greatly,

714
00:52:13,217 --> 00:52:16,595
if you think that a summer by the pool
will ever be enough for him.

715
00:52:17,387 --> 00:52:19,515
Fred wants to go to college.

716
00:52:20,057 --> 00:52:22,768
Don't take my word for it. Ask him.

717
00:52:40,994 --> 00:52:44,289
Hey. What are you doing?

718
00:52:44,373 --> 00:52:45,916
Your resume.

719
00:52:53,340 --> 00:52:57,427
So, I understand that you and Jane
made some plans?

720
00:53:00,556 --> 00:53:02,266
So let me get this straight.
What? You were just gonna...

721
00:53:02,349 --> 00:53:05,936
Just gonna sneak off to college without
saying anything, is that right?

722
00:53:06,895 --> 00:53:09,773
Fred, do you wanna go to college?

723
00:53:10,774 --> 00:53:12,985
'Cause, you know, Jane says you do.

724
00:53:17,364 --> 00:53:19,908
You know, it sure sounds great to me.

725
00:53:20,367 --> 00:53:22,703
Sounds like a great opportunity.

726
00:53:24,371 --> 00:53:27,457
You hang around here
for too long and you might...

727
00:53:27,541 --> 00:53:30,836
You might smother
your potential or something,

728
00:53:30,919 --> 00:53:33,172
and I'd sure feel real lousy if that happened.

729
00:53:36,550 --> 00:53:39,344
Of course, you know
you gonna have to live with her.

730
00:53:41,555 --> 00:53:45,893
Which means you'd also miss out on,
like, a real summer vacation.

731
00:53:47,311 --> 00:53:48,353
Hey.

732
00:53:50,939 --> 00:53:53,692
You want to go to college
or you want to go to Disney World?

733
00:53:53,775 --> 00:53:58,655
I've already been to Disney World.
I went with Jane, remember?

734
00:54:16,590 --> 00:54:18,258
You look crabby.

735
00:54:18,550 --> 00:54:20,594
I'm not crabby.

736
00:54:20,886 --> 00:54:23,013
I'm pensive.

737
00:54:38,237 --> 00:54:41,865
This should take a couple minutes,
so why don't you just go park the car?

738
00:54:42,950 --> 00:54:45,160
-Hi, Jane.
-Wait! Wait! Wait!

739
00:54:45,202 --> 00:54:47,037
Just a minute, Fred.

740
00:54:47,829 --> 00:54:48,914
Okay, now!

741
00:54:48,997 --> 00:54:50,874
-Hi, Jane.
-Hi, Fred.

742
00:54:55,212 --> 00:54:56,380
Wow!

743
00:55:31,748 --> 00:55:33,083
You need a belt, kid.

744
00:55:33,166 --> 00:55:36,086
No, I don't. I just need to tuck in my shirt.

745
00:55:36,879 --> 00:55:38,547
You need a belt.

746
00:55:39,715 --> 00:55:42,593
Hey. How about if we just say,

747
00:55:42,759 --> 00:55:45,345
"See you tomorrow,"
instead of "Goodbye?"

748
00:55:46,054 --> 00:55:49,850
If you send me the checkbook,
I'll balance it for you.

749
00:55:50,225 --> 00:55:52,561
I think I can take care of that, Freddie.

750
00:55:54,521 --> 00:55:56,273
Who's gonna water the plants?

751
00:55:56,940 --> 00:56:00,986
Hey, you forget about the plants, okay?

752
00:56:01,069 --> 00:56:02,613
Forget about the checkbook.

753
00:56:03,363 --> 00:56:05,782
You're gonna have a great time.

754
00:56:07,951 --> 00:56:09,328
So are you.

755
00:56:10,954 --> 00:56:12,956
Every day that I know you,

756
00:56:12,998 --> 00:56:17,711
I admire you a little bit more every day.

757
00:56:18,337 --> 00:56:20,380
Every day I say to myself,

758
00:56:21,089 --> 00:56:24,092
"This little kid is exactly the kind of person
I want to be."

759
00:56:26,345 --> 00:56:27,804
I mean, let's face it.

760
00:56:28,347 --> 00:56:30,807
You're the best thing
that ever happened to me.

761
00:56:33,143 --> 00:56:35,145
So don't worry so much.

762
00:56:35,479 --> 00:56:36,605
Okay?

763
00:56:47,824 --> 00:56:49,993
Hey. Love you big.

764
00:56:50,661 --> 00:56:52,204
Go get your bag.

765
00:56:59,127 --> 00:57:01,588
Dede, I know this must be difficult for you.

766
00:57:02,631 --> 00:57:05,050
You might wanna keep
an extra telephone around.

767
00:57:05,300 --> 00:57:07,386
-Excuse me?
-He likes to take 'em apart.

768
00:57:07,469 --> 00:57:09,054
You know, he likes...

769
00:57:09,221 --> 00:57:12,349
Sometimes... Sometimes...

770
00:57:13,642 --> 00:57:15,143
I understand.

771
00:57:17,729 --> 00:57:19,106
Listen to me, Jane.

772
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,484
If anything happens to him,

773
00:57:22,526 --> 00:57:24,152
anything at all,

774
00:57:24,528 --> 00:57:25,779
I'll kill you.

775
00:57:27,072 --> 00:57:31,451
Now, I don't mean that I'll just hurt you.
I mean that I'll kill you.

776
00:57:36,415 --> 00:57:37,708
Come on. Let me sit there!

777
00:57:37,791 --> 00:57:39,293
-Hey.
-Okay.

778
00:57:39,376 --> 00:57:41,503
I'll give you a call from Orlando, okay?

779
00:57:41,545 --> 00:57:43,338
Hear all about your first day.

780
00:57:45,549 --> 00:57:47,050
Bye, sweetie.

781
00:57:47,342 --> 00:57:49,094
Hands on noses, guys.

782
00:57:55,434 --> 00:57:57,060
See you tomorrow.

783
00:57:57,686 --> 00:57:59,104
See you tomorrow.

784
00:58:00,606 --> 00:58:01,982
Just go.

785
00:58:03,567 --> 00:58:05,068
Bye.

786
00:58:05,152 --> 00:58:06,653
Bye, Fred.

787
00:58:17,539 --> 00:58:22,252
Now, Fred, these chores
are your responsibilities,

788
00:58:22,586 --> 00:58:25,339
and for every week
that you do them correctly,

789
00:58:25,422 --> 00:58:28,175
we'll do something fun,
like go to the symphony

790
00:58:28,258 --> 00:58:30,594
or rent a nice documentary.

791
00:58:31,136 --> 00:58:33,931
These are soup bowls. These are not.

792
00:58:34,264 --> 00:58:37,976
These are my glasses,
and these are your glasses.

793
00:58:38,143 --> 00:58:40,604
These are your pens and your pencils.

794
00:58:40,646 --> 00:58:44,191
And, Fred, these are my pens
and my pencils.

795
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,324
It's not your mother's fault.

796
00:58:52,407 --> 00:58:55,994
Most parents are ignorant
to the benefits of macrobiotics.

797
00:58:58,705 --> 00:59:01,542
You know, if your mother
had started you on a diet like this sooner,

798
00:59:01,625 --> 00:59:03,627
you might never have gotten an ulcer.

799
00:59:05,712 --> 00:59:07,297
Can I have a Coke?

800
00:59:07,714 --> 00:59:09,049
Absolutely not.

801
00:59:29,111 --> 00:59:30,529
Sorry.

802
00:59:30,946 --> 00:59:32,698
It's all right.

803
00:59:34,366 --> 00:59:36,952
Everything that comes
from the body is natural.

804
00:59:39,121 --> 00:59:40,831
Now can I have a Coke?

805
00:59:40,914 --> 00:59:42,416
In the fridge.

806
01:00:07,608 --> 01:00:12,070
Fred, I'll meet you outside
on the steps, right after class.

807
01:00:12,362 --> 01:00:14,031
All right?

808
01:00:14,907 --> 01:00:17,534
Well, good luck.

809
01:00:35,302 --> 01:00:37,846
Come on. We'll sit you down in front.

810
01:00:37,971 --> 01:00:39,056
Okay.

811
01:00:40,307 --> 01:00:42,518
Would you mind sitting over there, please?

812
01:00:52,986 --> 01:00:55,656
All right, let's all calm down and shut up

813
01:00:55,739 --> 01:00:58,659
so we can start getting
dad's money's worth.

814
01:00:58,742 --> 01:01:01,995
Now, for those of you who may be lost,

815
01:01:02,955 --> 01:01:06,208
the name of this class is PHYS 105,

816
01:01:06,416 --> 01:01:10,754
Quantum Physics, not Physical Education.

817
01:01:21,014 --> 01:01:24,142
All right. Everybody in the right place?

818
01:01:25,435 --> 01:01:27,437
God damn, college kids.

819
01:01:27,521 --> 01:01:28,897
Good morning.

820
01:01:28,939 --> 01:01:31,775
Used to be, young people
had respect for other people's property.

821
01:01:31,817 --> 01:01:33,777
You didn't have to watch 'em all the time.
You could trust 'em.

822
01:01:33,861 --> 01:01:38,073
Now, they come down here on
vacation and they trash the place.

823
01:01:38,115 --> 01:01:41,451
What do they care?
It's not their house. Damn brats.

824
01:01:42,035 --> 01:01:46,665
Then on top of that,
I got five undercover ABC guys circulating.

825
01:01:46,748 --> 01:01:49,668
-The network?
-Alcoholic Beverage Control, Gina.

826
01:01:49,751 --> 01:01:53,755
I mean, half my clientele
on this particular evening is underage.

827
01:01:54,298 --> 01:01:56,216
How am I supposed to have known this?

828
01:01:56,300 --> 01:02:00,679
Anyway, my liquor license
is now toilet paper.

829
01:02:01,305 --> 01:02:02,723
Wait a second.

830
01:02:02,806 --> 01:02:04,933
You're saying you not gonna do the show?

831
01:02:04,975 --> 01:02:07,853
Don't tell me you're telling me we came
all the way down here for nothing?

832
01:02:07,936 --> 01:02:09,563
Oh, boy.

833
01:02:10,731 --> 01:02:12,691
You two got any waitressing experience?

834
01:02:12,941 --> 01:02:14,109
Wow! Come on...

835
01:02:14,151 --> 01:02:16,403
Fenton, don't dive in the shallow end!

836
01:02:16,486 --> 01:02:18,155
At least they got water in the pool.

837
01:02:18,197 --> 01:02:19,740
Very funny. You know, I could murder you.

838
01:02:19,823 --> 01:02:21,033
Look it, this here is only temporary.

839
01:02:21,116 --> 01:02:22,576
Well, he said his lawyers
were working on it.

840
01:02:22,659 --> 01:02:23,994
Look, we're still getting the rooms for free.

841
01:02:24,077 --> 01:02:25,454
You know, we can still
make a vacation out of it.

842
01:02:25,495 --> 01:02:27,414
Dede, they say when life gives you lemons,
you make lemonade.

843
01:02:27,497 --> 01:02:29,416
Hey, this ain't lemons, Gina!

844
01:02:29,499 --> 01:02:31,126
This is dog shit!

845
01:02:31,251 --> 01:02:35,297
I mean, if I wanted to wait tables,
I could've stayed in the city!

846
01:02:44,181 --> 01:02:46,517
Did you lose your mommy, sweetie?

847
01:02:49,770 --> 01:02:52,981
Yo, kid! A little help with the Frisbee?

848
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,363
-Whoa! Watch it, kid.
-Sorry.

849
01:03:02,157 --> 01:03:04,368
I have $40. Do I hear a $50?

850
01:03:05,118 --> 01:03:06,245
$50.

851
01:03:06,328 --> 01:03:10,207
I have $50. Now, come on, people.
Can I hear $60?

852
01:03:10,749 --> 01:03:11,792
$60.

853
01:03:11,875 --> 01:03:15,379
I have $60. All right, can I hear $70?

854
01:03:17,005 --> 01:03:18,715
Come on, people. This is for charity.

855
01:03:18,757 --> 01:03:20,425
-$70.
-Do I hear $70?

856
01:03:20,509 --> 01:03:23,011
-$1,000!
-All right, I have $70.

857
01:03:23,053 --> 01:03:25,389
-Do I hear $80?
-I said $1,000,

858
01:03:25,722 --> 01:03:27,224
you racist frat-head!

859
01:03:28,267 --> 01:03:30,060
Come on, mister, this is for charity.

860
01:03:30,310 --> 01:03:33,397
Which charity is that?
The intergeek recreation center?

861
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,065
That should change a few lives?

862
01:03:35,190 --> 01:03:36,900
Get out of my face, you jughead.

863
01:03:37,025 --> 01:03:38,610
Yeah!

864
01:03:40,070 --> 01:03:41,697
Hey, wait a minute.

865
01:03:44,408 --> 01:03:45,909
Heads!

866
01:03:54,293 --> 01:03:56,253
-Oh, no.
-No.

867
01:03:58,714 --> 01:04:00,757
Excuse me, fellas.

868
01:04:01,216 --> 01:04:02,801
It's a little boy.

869
01:04:03,385 --> 01:04:04,761
Look. Check it out.

870
01:04:05,429 --> 01:04:08,432
-Jesus. Eddie, you killed him.
-I wasn't even aiming for him.

871
01:04:08,473 --> 01:04:10,184
Besides, what's a kid
doing out here, anyway?

872
01:04:10,267 --> 01:04:12,269
He's not a kid! Get away from him.

873
01:04:15,272 --> 01:04:17,274
Oh, God, not again.

874
01:04:17,774 --> 01:04:18,942
Fred?

875
01:04:19,193 --> 01:04:20,360
Fred?

876
01:04:20,736 --> 01:04:22,404
Oh, Fred.

877
01:04:25,073 --> 01:04:27,242
This is called a sphygmomanometer.

878
01:04:27,284 --> 01:04:28,619
It is?

879
01:04:34,708 --> 01:04:35,834
Hello?

880
01:04:35,918 --> 01:04:37,628
Hey, Jane, let me talk to Fred.

881
01:04:38,086 --> 01:04:40,380
Dede, how are you?

882
01:04:41,006 --> 01:04:43,217
Just peachy. Now, where's Freddie?

883
01:04:44,134 --> 01:04:45,969
-How many fingers?
-Two.

884
01:04:46,261 --> 01:04:47,930
He can't talk right now.

885
01:04:47,971 --> 01:04:49,223
No? How come?

886
01:04:49,306 --> 01:04:51,183
He's taking a nap.

887
01:04:52,434 --> 01:04:54,645
So wake him up.
I wanna hear about his first day.

888
01:04:54,728 --> 01:04:56,563
He's very tired, Dede.

889
01:04:56,855 --> 01:04:59,816
Cut the shit, Jane.
Put the kid on the God damn phone.

890
01:05:01,818 --> 01:05:03,487
Here he is.

891
01:05:05,906 --> 01:05:07,115
Now, Fred,

892
01:05:07,157 --> 01:05:10,285
you don't wanna get your mother
all upset over nothing.

893
01:05:11,286 --> 01:05:12,412
Okay.

894
01:05:12,996 --> 01:05:14,289
Hi, Dede.

895
01:05:15,123 --> 01:05:18,544
Jane was late picking me up
and I got hit on the head with a globe.

896
01:05:20,754 --> 01:05:22,130
How's Florida?

897
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,678
Oh, no. Bicycle. Bicycle. Oh, no.

898
01:05:32,057 --> 01:05:34,226
The spin angular momentum

899
01:05:34,309 --> 01:05:38,146
of the beta particle of one half must be

900
01:05:38,188 --> 01:05:40,524
balanced by a particle

901
01:05:40,607 --> 01:05:43,819
having a spin angular momentum

902
01:05:43,861 --> 01:05:46,405
in the opposite direction.

903
01:05:46,905 --> 01:05:49,366
The right-handed antineutrino...

904
01:06:00,210 --> 01:06:01,837
Fenton, go get it!

905
01:06:06,216 --> 01:06:07,551
Did you get it?

906
01:06:12,556 --> 01:06:14,057
Who's that kid over there?

907
01:06:14,141 --> 01:06:16,059
He looks like a little bookworm.

908
01:06:17,394 --> 01:06:19,563
He's studying real hard.

909
01:06:25,777 --> 01:06:27,571
He must be all of 10.

910
01:06:28,197 --> 01:06:30,824
Yo, muffy! What the hell you looking at?

911
01:06:30,908 --> 01:06:32,784
Get out of here, you punk.

912
01:06:33,452 --> 01:06:35,245
Hey, how's your head?

913
01:06:36,205 --> 01:06:37,873
Remember me?

914
01:06:38,248 --> 01:06:40,751
I'm the guy that
took your lights out the other day.

915
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,046
Well, look, I brought you a present.

916
01:06:46,465 --> 01:06:47,758
Remember this?

917
01:06:47,799 --> 01:06:50,260
It's got a little blood on it
right there on El Salvador.

918
01:06:50,344 --> 01:06:52,095
I think that's pretty cool.

919
01:06:52,554 --> 01:06:54,223
It's for you. I brought it for you.

920
01:06:54,264 --> 01:06:56,266
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

921
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,353
-My name's Eddie.
-Fred.

922
01:06:59,436 --> 01:07:01,021
Nice to meet you, Fred.

923
01:07:01,104 --> 01:07:02,606
What's your major?

924
01:07:02,940 --> 01:07:04,399
What's my major?

925
01:07:04,441 --> 01:07:06,443
Damn. Who have you been
hanging out with?

926
01:07:07,819 --> 01:07:10,113
Jane. What's your major?

927
01:07:11,114 --> 01:07:12,950
Well, let's see, Russian Lit,

928
01:07:12,991 --> 01:07:14,785
Afro-Am, Poli Sci,

929
01:07:14,952 --> 01:07:17,287
French, Swahili, oogily-boogily,

930
01:07:17,329 --> 01:07:20,916
toilet training, eating dirt, nose picking.

931
01:07:20,958 --> 01:07:22,459
One of those. I don't know.

932
01:07:23,043 --> 01:07:24,753
So who's Jane? That's your girlfriend?

933
01:07:24,962 --> 01:07:28,131
-The lady I live with.
-The lady you live with.

934
01:07:29,007 --> 01:07:31,468
Say, what are you doing this afternoon?

935
01:07:32,427 --> 01:07:34,429
Just bringing in the mail.

936
01:08:11,383 --> 01:08:13,177
That was swinging.
Was that swinging or what?

937
01:08:13,218 --> 01:08:15,012
-Yeah.
-We're gonna go on the road together.

938
01:08:15,095 --> 01:08:16,638
I can see it now.

939
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,183
But, see, I can't play the classical stuff.
You have to handle that.

940
01:08:19,265 --> 01:08:21,810
By the way, you know
what the funniest thing about Mozart was?

941
01:08:21,852 --> 01:08:23,520
His hair. If I saw Mozart, I'd say,

942
01:08:23,562 --> 01:08:25,439
"That's the ugliest hairdo I've ever seen."

943
01:08:25,564 --> 01:08:27,524
I think Mozart should have
a big afro or a mohawk

944
01:08:27,608 --> 01:08:28,859
or something like that.

945
01:08:32,821 --> 01:08:35,323
We'll both get Mohawks for the tour.
Big tour.

946
01:08:35,365 --> 01:08:37,533
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Swing along!

947
01:08:38,076 --> 01:08:39,703
Yeah, man.

948
01:08:47,044 --> 01:08:48,545
Swing it.

949
01:09:06,729 --> 01:09:07,856
Well?

950
01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:10,984
Looks good.

951
01:09:13,153 --> 01:09:14,904
It's funny, Garth.

952
01:09:15,613 --> 01:09:18,867
I'm experiencing a whole new side of me
I've never felt before.

953
01:09:20,577 --> 01:09:22,078
It's just a meatloaf, Jane.

954
01:09:23,037 --> 01:09:25,082
No. To me it's a lot more than a meatloaf.

955
01:09:25,165 --> 01:09:26,792
It's a milestone.

956
01:09:28,167 --> 01:09:32,840
I mean, who would have thought
that I'd ever cook anything?

957
01:09:33,256 --> 01:09:34,341
Well,

958
01:09:34,966 --> 01:09:37,219
maybe you're turning over a new loaf.

959
01:09:39,304 --> 01:09:41,265
So what do you want me
to do about Livewire?

960
01:09:41,348 --> 01:09:42,765
Do we have to discuss that now?

961
01:09:43,267 --> 01:09:45,769
If Buckner wants to do
an hour on gifted children...

962
01:09:46,270 --> 01:09:49,439
What does Winston Buckner
know about gifted children?

963
01:09:49,523 --> 01:09:53,569
Why doesn't he do a talk show on
petulant talk show hosts instead?

964
01:09:55,195 --> 01:09:57,030
I've gotta make the salad.

965
01:09:57,781 --> 01:09:59,283
That's why he needs you.

966
01:09:59,324 --> 01:10:01,410
And he wants to bring Fred on, too.

967
01:10:01,451 --> 01:10:03,829
Maybe you could bring
a few examples of his work.

968
01:10:03,912 --> 01:10:05,163
He'd like that.

969
01:10:07,124 --> 01:10:08,750
What time is it?

970
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,379
See, Fred, the object of the game
is to bank the ball

971
01:10:12,462 --> 01:10:15,215
so that you hit the other one
right where the shadow is.

972
01:10:17,759 --> 01:10:19,928
You want to try to hit the ball nice and low.

973
01:10:19,970 --> 01:10:22,848
See? That way, you get
a lot of backspin on it.

974
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,767
Pow!

975
01:10:27,019 --> 01:10:28,770
-Like that.
-Eddie.

976
01:10:28,979 --> 01:10:30,439
Hey, where the hell you all been?

977
01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:31,982
Anna fainted in the parking lot.

978
01:10:33,317 --> 01:10:35,110
Say, everybody,

979
01:10:35,485 --> 01:10:37,029
this is my son, Fred.

980
01:10:37,154 --> 01:10:38,947
-Fred.
-How are you doing, Fred?

981
01:10:38,989 --> 01:10:40,073
Fred.

982
01:10:40,157 --> 01:10:42,868
Hey, kid, what you doing with the world?

983
01:10:43,410 --> 01:10:45,120
It was a present.

984
01:11:01,595 --> 01:11:03,055
Never mind, Officer. He's back.

985
01:11:03,138 --> 01:11:05,349
Yes, just now. Thank you.

986
01:11:05,390 --> 01:11:06,517
Fred.

987
01:11:06,683 --> 01:11:08,060
Sorry I'm late.

988
01:11:08,143 --> 01:11:10,187
Fred, where have you been?

989
01:11:11,605 --> 01:11:14,775
Fred, you smell like a brewery.

990
01:11:15,609 --> 01:11:17,819
And have you been smoking?

991
01:11:18,278 --> 01:11:21,823
I was in a pool hall.
I'm learning how to play pool.

992
01:11:22,199 --> 01:11:23,325
Good game.

993
01:11:23,700 --> 01:11:25,035
Shut up, Garth.

994
01:11:25,869 --> 01:11:27,371
Do you know what time it is?

995
01:11:28,914 --> 01:11:30,290
7:03.

996
01:11:30,707 --> 01:11:33,085
Do you remember what time
I asked you to be home?

997
01:11:33,585 --> 01:11:34,878
5:00.

998
01:11:35,754 --> 01:11:40,300
Fred, if I tell you to be home at 5:00,
you're to be home at 5:00,

999
01:11:40,509 --> 01:11:44,721
not 6:00, not 7:00, not 7:01, not 7:02,

1000
01:11:44,763 --> 01:11:46,682
and certainly not 7:03.

1001
01:11:47,224 --> 01:11:48,559
I can't eat this.

1002
01:11:49,643 --> 01:11:51,854
No, of course you can't. It's cold.

1003
01:11:52,813 --> 01:11:55,399
No. My stomach.

1004
01:11:55,899 --> 01:11:58,068
Oh, my God. That's right.

1005
01:11:58,318 --> 01:12:00,362
Now, Fred, let's not whine.

1006
01:12:00,904 --> 01:12:03,115
There must be something
for you to eat around here.

1007
01:12:03,198 --> 01:12:04,616
I could go pick something up.

1008
01:12:04,700 --> 01:12:07,327
That's okay. I already ate.

1009
01:12:09,079 --> 01:12:10,205
What?

1010
01:12:10,664 --> 01:12:12,207
You ate without me?

1011
01:12:13,041 --> 01:12:14,918
We could have dessert.

1012
01:12:15,419 --> 01:12:17,796
No. We cannot.

1013
01:12:18,881 --> 01:12:22,593
A rule has been broken.
We don't reward that kind of behavior.

1014
01:12:23,468 --> 01:12:24,887
Now, Fred,

1015
01:12:25,095 --> 01:12:27,181
I'm sure if we thought about it, we'd decide

1016
01:12:27,264 --> 01:12:30,475
that pool halls are no place
for someone your age.

1017
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,897
If you want to play something,
come and talk to me.

1018
01:12:35,814 --> 01:12:37,941
And, Fred, when I scold you,

1019
01:12:38,025 --> 01:12:40,194
it doesn't mean I don't care about you.

1020
01:12:40,277 --> 01:12:43,447
It only means I'm trying
to correct your mistakes.

1021
01:12:45,574 --> 01:12:47,868
Now, how about a nice game of Scrabble?

1022
01:12:49,203 --> 01:12:50,621
And...

1023
01:12:51,079 --> 01:12:52,581
Go.

1024
01:12:56,835 --> 01:12:58,462
Done.

1025
01:12:59,296 --> 01:13:01,006
Isn't this fun?

1026
01:13:01,882 --> 01:13:03,634
Damn it.

1027
01:13:08,305 --> 01:13:10,557
-Fred.
-I'll go get the other phone.

1028
01:13:10,641 --> 01:13:12,184
Fred.

1029
01:13:15,354 --> 01:13:16,396
Hello?

1030
01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:18,774
Hey! What's up?

1031
01:13:19,816 --> 01:13:21,693
Nothing. What's up with you?

1032
01:13:22,069 --> 01:13:23,737
I'm getting a tan.

1033
01:13:25,948 --> 01:13:27,991
Actually, you know, it's more of a burn.

1034
01:13:28,909 --> 01:13:29,993
So?

1035
01:13:30,077 --> 01:13:31,161
So?

1036
01:13:33,830 --> 01:13:35,207
So listen.

1037
01:13:36,208 --> 01:13:38,168
What are you doing next weekend?

1038
01:13:41,171 --> 01:13:43,257
Come on. It's Fourth of July.
What are you doing?

1039
01:13:43,841 --> 01:13:45,968
How about a barbecue in the beach?
Fireworks.

1040
01:13:46,009 --> 01:13:47,219
I'm gonna be on TV.

1041
01:13:50,222 --> 01:13:52,182
Let me speak to her.

1042
01:13:53,559 --> 01:13:54,852
Hi, Dede.

1043
01:13:55,143 --> 01:13:57,980
It's Jane. We were gonna call you.

1044
01:13:58,021 --> 01:14:01,400
Fred and I have been invited
to appear on Livewire.

1045
01:14:02,776 --> 01:14:04,194
Well, isn't that exciting?

1046
01:14:06,738 --> 01:14:08,657
And I thought, if it's okay with you,

1047
01:14:08,699 --> 01:14:11,952
we'd stay overnight
to see the big fireworks in the park.

1048
01:14:12,035 --> 01:14:15,038
Yeah, sure. You know,
Freddie would love that. He would.

1049
01:14:15,122 --> 01:14:16,206
Great.

1050
01:14:16,290 --> 01:14:20,419
Don't forget to watch.
It's Saturday at 12:30. Here's Fred.

1051
01:14:20,836 --> 01:14:23,714
Don't talk too long.
This is costing your mother a fortune.

1052
01:14:25,424 --> 01:14:26,884
Hi.

1053
01:14:27,551 --> 01:14:29,720
Hey. Everything's good?

1054
01:14:30,179 --> 01:14:31,680
Everything's perfect.

1055
01:14:34,057 --> 01:14:35,684
I'm learning how to play pool.

1056
01:14:36,476 --> 01:14:37,561
Pool?

1057
01:14:37,728 --> 01:14:39,730
Yeah. My friend Eddie is teaching me.

1058
01:14:40,564 --> 01:14:42,274
Wow. Eddie.

1059
01:14:44,776 --> 01:14:47,404
Don't put down too many bets,
okay, kiddo?

1060
01:14:49,198 --> 01:14:50,824
Look, I gotta go.

1061
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,076
Jane's giving me this test.

1062
01:14:54,453 --> 01:14:56,413
Yeah, okay. I'll tell you what.

1063
01:14:57,247 --> 01:14:59,833
I'll call you in a couple of days, okay?

1064
01:15:00,417 --> 01:15:02,252
Okay. Bye.

1065
01:15:04,546 --> 01:15:05,672
Bye.

1066
01:15:23,482 --> 01:15:26,777
Hey, somebody get the door, would you?

1067
01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:31,740
Is Eddie here?

1068
01:15:33,033 --> 01:15:34,618
Yeah. He's in the back.

1069
01:15:38,705 --> 01:15:40,707
Oh, man. What time is it?

1070
01:15:40,791 --> 01:15:42,751
Too early for visitors.

1071
01:15:43,252 --> 01:15:45,712
Dave, where is he going?

1072
01:15:47,548 --> 01:15:48,632
Two.

1073
01:15:48,674 --> 01:15:50,425
Two? Hey, hey.

1074
01:15:50,467 --> 01:15:51,844
What's going on here?

1075
01:15:51,927 --> 01:15:53,887
-Hey, girl.
-Sorry. I didn't mean that.

1076
01:15:53,971 --> 01:15:55,722
-You didn't?
-I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

1077
01:15:55,806 --> 01:15:58,141
-Hi, Eddie.
-Fred!

1078
01:15:58,725 --> 01:15:59,977
Fred, what are you doing here?

1079
01:16:00,435 --> 01:16:01,770
You said we could...

1080
01:16:02,688 --> 01:16:04,815
Fred. Would you get out of here, man?

1081
01:16:05,023 --> 01:16:07,651
Go on. Get out of here. Damn.

1082
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,115
Very nice, fellas!

1083
01:16:13,907 --> 01:16:15,492
Very nice.

1084
01:16:18,996 --> 01:16:20,747
Fred.

1085
01:16:24,418 --> 01:16:26,336
Come on, Fred. Wait up, man.

1086
01:16:29,673 --> 01:16:32,050
Fred, wait up. Freddie.

1087
01:16:32,176 --> 01:16:33,594
Wait up, Freddie.

1088
01:16:33,677 --> 01:16:36,221
Freddie. Freddie, wait up, man.

1089
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:38,849
Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you,

1090
01:16:38,932 --> 01:16:41,935
but you can't
walk in on people like that, man.

1091
01:16:42,895 --> 01:16:44,980
You said we were gonna play pool.

1092
01:16:45,397 --> 01:16:46,565
I did?

1093
01:16:47,316 --> 01:16:48,817
You said so.

1094
01:16:48,859 --> 01:16:51,695
Man, people say that kind
of stuff to each other all the time, buddy.

1095
01:16:51,778 --> 01:16:53,530
That don't really mean
that they mean it, you know?

1096
01:16:55,199 --> 01:16:58,410
Look, you're a kid

1097
01:16:59,119 --> 01:17:00,704
and I'm a grownup.

1098
01:17:01,121 --> 01:17:03,040
And I love doing stuff with you

1099
01:17:03,123 --> 01:17:05,751
but I can't do stuff
with you all day, every day

1100
01:17:05,834 --> 01:17:08,879
'cause I gotta do stuff
with other grownups, you know?

1101
01:17:10,214 --> 01:17:13,842
What I'm trying to say is that we can't
hang out together all the time.

1102
01:17:14,426 --> 01:17:16,303
I'm not your baby-sitter, Freddie.

1103
01:17:17,721 --> 01:17:20,182
I just can't take that kind of responsibility.

1104
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,394
But, hey, it's no big deal, is it?

1105
01:18:31,253 --> 01:18:32,754
Hi.

1106
01:18:34,047 --> 01:18:35,674
Hi.

1107
01:18:55,068 --> 01:18:56,320
Fred.

1108
01:18:56,486 --> 01:19:00,282
Fred, what was the name of that computer
that you raced in Dr. Ellis' class?

1109
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,703
-Mike.
-Mike. That's it.

1110
01:19:12,002 --> 01:19:14,963
Fred, it's 2:00 in the morning.
What are you doing up so late?

1111
01:19:16,256 --> 01:19:18,300
I had a bad dream.

1112
01:19:22,012 --> 01:19:25,182
Well, why don't you get a drink of water?

1113
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,268
What for?

1114
01:19:30,604 --> 01:19:32,356
Don't you want a drink of water?

1115
01:19:33,190 --> 01:19:34,608
I'm not thirsty.

1116
01:19:37,653 --> 01:19:41,031
Well, why don't you leave the light on

1117
01:19:41,281 --> 01:19:42,950
or turn on the radio?

1118
01:19:43,033 --> 01:19:46,912
Something. It's really late
and we've got a big day tomorrow.

1119
01:20:17,526 --> 01:20:19,152
-Hello.
-Is Dede there?

1120
01:20:19,236 --> 01:20:21,029
I can't hear you.

1121
01:20:21,196 --> 01:20:23,782
Hey, is that you, Fred? How are you doing?

1122
01:20:23,866 --> 01:20:25,868
Boy, are you missing
a good party down here.

1123
01:20:25,909 --> 01:20:27,244
Is Dede there?

1124
01:20:27,327 --> 01:20:29,413
We're celebrating Fourth of July early.

1125
01:20:29,580 --> 01:20:32,374
Me and Valerie woke up
and everyone's in the pool.

1126
01:20:32,416 --> 01:20:34,042
Bottle rockets!

1127
01:20:34,710 --> 01:20:36,587
Fenton, will you just tell...

1128
01:20:56,940 --> 01:20:59,109
A man waving goodbye.

1129
01:21:00,986 --> 01:21:03,113
Two cats fighting.

1130
01:21:04,990 --> 01:21:06,909
A capsized boat.

1131
01:21:08,869 --> 01:21:10,829
A dead body.

1132
01:21:56,333 --> 01:21:57,960
See how this tastes.

1133
01:22:03,006 --> 01:22:04,258
Well,

1134
01:22:04,550 --> 01:22:07,427
we can stop on the way
to the city and get something to eat.

1135
01:22:08,971 --> 01:22:11,849
Now, where's your tie?

1136
01:22:24,361 --> 01:22:26,530
I need a belt, Jane.

1137
01:22:26,864 --> 01:22:28,574
I need a belt.

1138
01:22:30,659 --> 01:22:32,744
Just tuck in your shirt. You'll be fine.

1139
01:22:35,539 --> 01:22:38,041
Seems to me
you had a midterm the other day.

1140
01:22:39,126 --> 01:22:40,752
How do you think you did?

1141
01:22:41,378 --> 01:22:44,548
-Fine.
-I'm sure you did splendidly.

1142
01:22:46,341 --> 01:22:47,718
You think you can tell me

1143
01:22:47,759 --> 01:22:50,095
Beaton's refraction formula for the sun?

1144
01:22:51,180 --> 01:22:52,890
Mr. Buckner might ask you that.

1145
01:22:55,017 --> 01:22:57,728
Energy plus parallax equals...

1146
01:22:57,895 --> 01:23:00,189
How come you always ask me
about school?

1147
01:23:02,232 --> 01:23:05,027
How come you always talk
like you're reading a book?

1148
01:23:06,236 --> 01:23:09,406
How come you... Nobody ever comes over?

1149
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,827
And how come you don't
have any kids of your own?

1150
01:23:15,454 --> 01:23:17,331
What's wrong with you?

1151
01:23:25,172 --> 01:23:28,008
Now, remember, sweet face,
zillions of people

1152
01:23:28,091 --> 01:23:30,928
all over the world
are gonna be watching you.

1153
01:23:30,969 --> 01:23:33,263
And that means no farting,

1154
01:23:33,347 --> 01:23:34,890
no picking your nose,

1155
01:23:34,932 --> 01:23:37,601
and no playing with little Mr. Peabody.

1156
01:23:37,768 --> 01:23:39,019
Close your eyes.

1157
01:23:44,441 --> 01:23:46,109
Knock it off, Evan.

1158
01:23:47,778 --> 01:23:48,987
Fred.

1159
01:23:50,364 --> 01:23:51,949
You look very handsome.

1160
01:23:58,330 --> 01:24:00,958
Is she your mom or what?

1161
01:24:03,710 --> 01:24:05,087
She's my...

1162
01:24:06,338 --> 01:24:07,673
I don't know.

1163
01:24:08,715 --> 01:24:11,134
I'll go see if they're ready for you.

1164
01:24:14,471 --> 01:24:16,473
Do you like old pinball machines?

1165
01:24:17,140 --> 01:24:18,767
I don't know.

1166
01:24:19,768 --> 01:24:22,563
We have one in the basement.
You can come play with me.

1167
01:24:34,241 --> 01:24:35,409
Zoom!

1168
01:24:48,839 --> 01:24:50,591
-Marco.
-Polo.

1169
01:24:52,134 --> 01:24:54,303
Hey, you guys, keep it down!

1170
01:25:00,142 --> 01:25:03,020
Welcome to Livewire.
I'm Winston F. Buckner.

1171
01:25:03,395 --> 01:25:05,355
Today we're going to
be asking the question,

1172
01:25:05,397 --> 01:25:07,357
"Is your child gifted?"

1173
01:25:08,275 --> 01:25:10,027
With me here to answer that

1174
01:25:10,068 --> 01:25:15,157
are two distinguished academics
and several bright kids

1175
01:25:15,824 --> 01:25:18,368
from the best schools around the country.

1176
01:25:18,452 --> 01:25:19,786
Welcome, everybody.

1177
01:25:19,912 --> 01:25:21,371
Now, children...

1178
01:25:21,455 --> 01:25:23,207
-Marco!
-Do you read books

1179
01:25:23,248 --> 01:25:26,543
or watch television like normal kids?

1180
01:25:26,627 --> 01:25:28,378
I'm working on experiments

1181
01:25:28,420 --> 01:25:31,798
involving lasers,
sulfuric acid, and butterflies.

1182
01:25:32,049 --> 01:25:35,010
I'm designing a summer house
for my parents.

1183
01:25:35,427 --> 01:25:36,929
I bring in the mail.

1184
01:25:37,346 --> 01:25:38,764
You bring in the mail?

1185
01:25:39,181 --> 01:25:41,308
God, you look like hell, kid.

1186
01:25:42,726 --> 01:25:43,810
Well,

1187
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:46,271
Fred, we do many things together.

1188
01:25:46,355 --> 01:25:47,981
We go to museums.

1189
01:25:48,065 --> 01:25:49,733
We go to the opera.

1190
01:25:50,526 --> 01:25:53,737
He writes letters to his Romanian pen pal.

1191
01:25:54,363 --> 01:25:56,156
These books are fake.

1192
01:25:57,115 --> 01:25:58,575
Fred, as I understand it,

1193
01:25:58,659 --> 01:26:00,077
you're a poet, a painter,

1194
01:26:00,118 --> 01:26:01,370
-a musician...
-Marco!

1195
01:26:01,411 --> 01:26:03,247
-Polo!
-...and what I guess one would call

1196
01:26:03,330 --> 01:26:05,123
-a Mathlete.
-Marco!

1197
01:26:05,207 --> 01:26:06,416
Polo.

1198
01:26:06,458 --> 01:26:09,670
Now, with all that under that
tiny little belt of yours,

1199
01:26:10,629 --> 01:26:12,798
what would you like to be
when you grow up?

1200
01:26:13,006 --> 01:26:14,258
A fireman.

1201
01:26:14,299 --> 01:26:17,427
A fireman.
Well, that's a pretty normal profession

1202
01:26:17,469 --> 01:26:20,347
for such a... How shall I put it?

1203
01:26:21,014 --> 01:26:23,517
An unusual boy like yourself.

1204
01:26:23,934 --> 01:26:27,437
Now, when I was a boy, our mothers all
wanted us to grow up to be doctors.

1205
01:26:28,272 --> 01:26:29,773
My mother is dead.

1206
01:26:30,816 --> 01:26:33,944
I'm very sorry to hear that.

1207
01:26:33,986 --> 01:26:35,904
Well, enough small talk, Fred.

1208
01:26:35,946 --> 01:26:37,823
What shall we do for our audience?

1209
01:26:37,906 --> 01:26:40,617
I thought maybe you could
play the piano for us

1210
01:26:40,659 --> 01:26:43,370
then do a few quick calculations.

1211
01:26:43,453 --> 01:26:45,455
-No.
-No?

1212
01:26:45,956 --> 01:26:47,249
Mr. Buckner...

1213
01:26:47,291 --> 01:26:48,709
I'd like to recite a poem.

1214
01:26:49,626 --> 01:26:50,836
A poem

1215
01:26:51,128 --> 01:26:53,630
by Fred Tate when we come back

1216
01:26:54,047 --> 01:26:55,591
right after this.

1217
01:26:58,927 --> 01:27:00,721
Promotional funding for this program

1218
01:27:00,804 --> 01:27:03,932
is provided through a grant
from the 3,400 worldwide...

1219
01:27:04,183 --> 01:27:05,350
Hey.

1220
01:27:05,893 --> 01:27:07,311
Hey, you guys?

1221
01:27:08,312 --> 01:27:09,563
Mommy!

1222
01:27:10,022 --> 01:27:11,064
Mommy!

1223
01:27:11,648 --> 01:27:14,151
Clipper Ships, by Fred Tate.

1224
01:27:14,318 --> 01:27:15,861
Go get your mother!

1225
01:27:16,278 --> 01:27:18,906
Me and my dad make
models of clipper ships.

1226
01:27:23,827 --> 01:27:25,621
Clipper ships sail in the ocean.

1227
01:27:26,205 --> 01:27:28,957
Clipper ships never sail on rivers or lakes.

1228
01:27:35,756 --> 01:27:38,258
I like clipper ships because they are fast.

1229
01:27:38,509 --> 01:27:39,885
My God! Fenton!

1230
01:27:41,762 --> 01:27:43,055
You okay?

1231
01:27:54,191 --> 01:27:57,319
Clipper ships have lots of sails
and are made of wood.

1232
01:28:06,662 --> 01:28:08,956
All right standby.
We'll be back in 30 seconds.

1233
01:28:09,039 --> 01:28:10,082
Fred.

1234
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,180
Yes. Is Dede Tate there, please?

1235
01:29:07,598 --> 01:29:09,141
Where is she?

1236
01:29:09,725 --> 01:29:11,101
Gone where?

1237
01:29:12,561 --> 01:29:14,771
Nice to meet you, too, Fenton.

1238
01:29:16,815 --> 01:29:19,193
Which flight is she on, Fenton?

1239
01:29:19,276 --> 01:29:21,028
Yeah, which flight?

1240
01:29:22,321 --> 01:29:23,530
Thank you.

1241
01:29:23,655 --> 01:29:25,282
She's on her way.

1242
01:29:31,538 --> 01:29:33,373
What have I done?

1243
01:30:24,091 --> 01:30:25,717
Hey, kid.

1244
01:30:26,677 --> 01:30:28,345
Come here.

1245
01:30:31,515 --> 01:30:33,642
I figured you'd be here.

1246
01:30:35,018 --> 01:30:36,812
I'm sorry.

1247
01:30:37,062 --> 01:30:38,522
Sorry for what?

1248
01:30:38,564 --> 01:30:40,065
You didn't do anything.

1249
01:30:41,358 --> 01:30:42,818
I missed you.

1250
01:30:43,235 --> 01:30:44,903
I missed you, too.

1251
01:30:45,571 --> 01:30:47,573
I missed my dance partner.

1252
01:30:49,074 --> 01:30:50,701
Jane's mad at me.

1253
01:30:51,577 --> 01:30:52,661
No.

1254
01:30:53,078 --> 01:30:55,205
She ain't mad at you.

1255
01:30:56,081 --> 01:30:58,417
She was just worried, that's all.

1256
01:30:59,042 --> 01:31:01,670
We're all gonna work it out. You'll see.

1257
01:31:01,962 --> 01:31:04,882
From now on, I'm gonna
take care of everything.

1258
01:31:04,923 --> 01:31:07,050
You, me.

1259
01:31:08,302 --> 01:31:10,179
Even Jane, okay?

1260
01:31:13,182 --> 01:31:14,766
Listen, Freddie.

1261
01:31:16,435 --> 01:31:18,145
The day you were born,

1262
01:31:18,228 --> 01:31:21,064
the first minute I saw you,
you know what I said?

1263
01:31:22,191 --> 01:31:24,318
I said, "This kid's special.

1264
01:31:25,944 --> 01:31:29,615
"This kid's gonna be different,
and I'm not gonna blow it."

1265
01:31:30,782 --> 01:31:32,159
But...

1266
01:31:33,076 --> 01:31:34,661
Sometimes...

1267
01:31:36,079 --> 01:31:38,540
Sometimes, I don't know
what I'm doing, you know?

1268
01:31:38,582 --> 01:31:40,667
Sometimes, I just wing it.

1269
01:31:42,669 --> 01:31:44,254
I figure that...

1270
01:31:46,465 --> 01:31:50,177
I figure, I love this kid so much,

1271
01:31:51,220 --> 01:31:52,971
it's gonna be okay.

1272
01:31:54,681 --> 01:31:56,099
And it will.

1273
01:31:58,018 --> 01:31:59,436
You'll see.

1274
01:32:13,825 --> 01:32:15,452
I love you, Mom.

1275
01:32:17,246 --> 01:32:19,456
I love you, too, kiddo.

1276
01:32:39,142 --> 01:32:40,477
Hi. I'm sorry I'm late,

1277
01:32:40,519 --> 01:32:43,188
but the cake took me longer
than I thought to make.

1278
01:32:54,825 --> 01:32:57,494
Happy birthday!

1279
01:32:58,036 --> 01:33:00,831
Well, that pretty much
sums up my life story.

1280
01:33:00,914 --> 01:33:02,499
Come here, birthday boy.

1281
01:33:04,001 --> 01:33:05,752
And incredible as it sounds,

1282
01:33:05,836 --> 01:33:09,298
when I turned eight,
I had the best birthday party ever.

1283
01:33:10,507 --> 01:33:12,509
At least, that's the way I remember it.

1284
01:33:12,593 --> 01:33:13,927
Happy birthday, Fred.

1285
01:33:14,011 --> 01:33:15,679
Look at that.

1286
01:33:18,015 --> 01:33:19,892
Even Jane had a good time.

1287
01:33:21,643 --> 01:33:23,395
-Thanks, Jane.
-You're welcome.

1288
01:33:23,478 --> 01:33:24,855
Care to cut the rug with me?

1289
01:33:24,897 --> 01:33:26,481
No, thank you.

1290
01:33:27,024 --> 01:33:29,443
Come on, dance with the kid, Jane.

1291
01:33:31,987 --> 01:33:34,990
I remember we laughed
and played stupid games

1292
01:33:35,073 --> 01:33:36,909
and danced to old records.

1293
01:33:37,409 --> 01:33:39,745
Nobody seemed to worry about anything.

1294
01:33:46,835 --> 01:33:48,837
-Hey, yaks, wanna play a game?
-Yeah.

1295
01:33:48,879 --> 01:33:51,965
You two hold your breath until I say stop.

1296
01:33:55,052 --> 01:33:57,596
I once got this fortune cookie that said,

1297
01:33:57,721 --> 01:34:00,182
"Only when all who surround you
are different

1298
01:34:00,224 --> 01:34:02,226
"will you truly belong."

1299
01:34:02,392 --> 01:34:04,520
-Thanks for the dance, Fred.
-Hey.

1300
01:34:04,561 --> 01:34:07,189
It's a party.
You gotta wear your party hat, Jane.

1301
01:34:07,231 --> 01:34:09,983
Well, we're all different, that's for sure.

1302
01:34:11,944 --> 01:34:13,153
Hey, Fred, look at this.

1303
01:34:13,237 --> 01:34:15,572
I'd see Jane every day at the Institute,

1304
01:34:15,614 --> 01:34:19,409
and once in a while, Dede would let her
take us out to fancy restaurants.

1305
01:34:19,993 --> 01:34:21,745
Sometimes, we even had fun.

1306
01:34:21,828 --> 01:34:22,913
Ready?

1307
01:34:24,998 --> 01:34:28,210
For a while, I was
the most famous kid at Jane's school.

1308
01:34:28,252 --> 01:34:31,922
But then a year later,
a 6-year-old boy named Roy Yamaguchi

1309
01:34:32,005 --> 01:34:36,093
got into law school and suddenly,
I wasn't such a big deal anymore.

1310
01:34:37,219 --> 01:34:38,679
But I didn't care

1311
01:34:39,513 --> 01:34:41,265
because I was happy.
