Transcription
Greg, you haven't been listening to one word I've been saying. Come up here, Greg. It's something every day. Doing things constantly that are irritating to your classmates around you and to me, too. I just don't like your attitude. Now you're finally with Greg. Where are you going? Greg, come back here. Come back here, Greg. Hey, Greg. [Music] Quick egg. [Music] She really yelled at you, huh? >> In front of the whole class. She said I'm a troublemaker. That's why I got this. >> Wow. What did you do? >> Nothing. >> Nothing. Wow. >> I never going back to that school. Never. >> I bet if a person went up to Alaska, worked underground as atomic scientist, those tennis teacher would still track you down. >> Who said I was going up to Alaska? >> Hey, I know how we could get even with Mrs. Dorkin. My brother used to deliver newspapers to her house. So, I know where she lives. So, we can go up there and maybe throw over a garbage can or something like that. >> What are you talking about, Grady? >> Well, you want to get even with it, don't you? >> Yes, but not that way. [Music] Give me back my ball. >> Ah, come on. >> Hey, bro. Give me back the ball. >> I just want to play with you. Give me the ball. Give me my ball. Just let me shoot a few baskets. Give me the ball. Here's your ball. [Applause] [Music] You know, my new boss has spoke to me today like I was dirt. I really don't understand who those people think they're talking to. This company has treated me like dirt for a long time. When a person gets used to being treated like dirt, he becomes dirt. >> I know, but it's important. It's important that you listen. The most important thing to me is my pride and my dignity. If I have my pride and my dignity, all the other things will fall into place. >> Don't you think it can be worked out some kind of way? >> I doubt it. This is the third time this has happened to me. >> Greg. >> Greg, go in the room and play checkers with Grant. >> I'm going to go in here, Mara, and I'm going to tell those people exactly what I think. >> But then they'll tell you what they think and they'll say, "Bill Brown, we don't need you. Take your check. Ben, what? [Music] >> Greg, [Music] why don't you go in the living room and play checkers with Graham? She's been waiting for you. I'll finish feeding the baby. Okay. Dad, today in school, >> Greg, >> it's very important that you understand that your father was always his own man. Your mother has always wanted me to walk around with my hat in my hand, but that's not the kind of man I am. And why don't you go on over there and play checkers with BR? What took you so long? Great. [Music] [Applause] Greg, you haven't been listening to one word I've been saying. It's something every day, doing things constantly that are irritating to your classmates around you and to me, too. Greg, I just don't like your attitude. >> Hey, Greg. Greg, come back here. Come back here, Greg. Hey, I got a great idea. I know where Miss Dorin lives. My brother used to deliver newspapers to her house. Maybe we could go over there and throw her garbage cans or something like that. >> Grady, are you crazy? >> Well, you want to get even with her, don't you? >> Make the move, Grace. [Music] There's Mr. Dton's house. You sure? >> Of course I'm sure. [Applause] >> Hey, what are you kids doing over there? [Music] [Music] Greg, how nice to see you. >> Alarm is just walking. >> Greg, is something wrong? >> No, ma'am. I know you're just playing, but Greg, for just a moment, would you mind coming with me? >> I've got to be getting home. >> For just a few minutes, Greg, how would you like some milk and cookies? >> Oh, thank you. >> Oh, please. You know, my daughter, I bet she never knew I had a daughter, did you? >> No. I could count on her to feel better if I would give her milk and cookies. [Music] Mother, mother, I'm back. [Music] Mother. [Music] >> Great. The doctor will be here in just a moment. Would you mind staying with me until he comes? >> Mother has been ill for a long time, Greg. I've had a woman come and take care of her while I'm at school, and this has worked out pretty well, but I like to be here with her myself. >> What's the matter with your mother? >> Well, she's an old woman now. Sometimes she knows everything that's happening about her and then other days she doesn't. >> I have a grandmother, too. I >> bet you love her very much, don't you? sort of. >> You know, sometimes when I'm at school, I I'm I'm just so afraid I'm going to hear that phone ring to tell me something about Mother [Music] Greg. That's doctor now. You stay right here and I'll be back in a few minutes. Mother's not good. >> Not the same. Worse. >> I'm afraid it is. I >> think I better take a look at it first. [Music] Greg, it was so nice to have seen you. Thank you for helping me. >> Goodbye. >> Bye. And you have a good weekend. What were you doing in Mrs. Dorin's house? >> Just talking. >> Talking to her? >> Yes. >> After what she did to you made you sit up in front of the whole class when she bowled you out? Aren't you still mad at her? >> Before I went in there, >> she probably talked you out of it, huh? Hey, [Music] you really like it now, don't you? >> Not when I went in your house. How come? She's not such a bad person, >> but everybody hates her. >> People in school don't understand what problems she has. >> And what problems does she have? >> Yes. What? Just because somebody has a sick mother doesn't mean they have to be mean. >> Why do they have that one? [Music]
