Angel Town

Yeah, what do we got here?

Come on, come on, let's go and check this out.

Hey, come on!

Hey!

I'll kick your ass man!

I'll kick your ass!

There's no one here!

Look, I can see nothing!

Nothing here.

Well,

I'm going, old man.

I knew it.

Jacques!

- A university in the United States actually accepted me.

What do you think of that?

Jacques!

You bastard!

Why are running away?! - Oh no!

How could you do this?!

I thought we settled this last night?

Why drag it out?

It's hard enough on me as it is.

- And what am I supposed to do with this while you're gone?

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

Hello, Mr. Jacques Montaigne.

Ah, Mr. Montaigne.

Yes, we were expecting you two days ago.

Yes, I was detained.

Mmmmm.

Well wait over there.

The dean will see you as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Yes.

Mr. Montaigne, the dean will see you now.

What is this?

This sucks, I've been waiting all day.

When our football team was suspended

for recruiting violations,

the chairman of your department actually celebrated.

And I think you should know he does not appreciate

the pressure he's been receiving from the Olympic committee.

I can understand that.

I don't like being pushed around either.

No, I don't supposed you do.

Well, at any rate, he gives a party every year

for the new graduate students on the first day of classes.

Now that's today, in case you're unaware,

and you are expected to attend.

That party begins at 7:30 in the graduate library.

If I were you, I would make every effort to be there.

Well, I'll be sure to make it.

Where are you staying?

- I was hoping to live where the other students live.

I don't think you wanna do that.

Why not?

I'm here to learn and I'll learn more

from students who can help me with my English.

You don't need to convince me

of your seriousness, Mr. Montaigne.

Nobody with your kind of background would even apply

to this graduate program unless he were serious.

But I suppose that's your business.

Eleanor will direct you to student housing

and if there's anything more I can do for you,

please let me know.

Thank you.

I doubt that you're going to find anything

at this late date, Mr. Montaigne.

Excuse me.

But you might give the student ghetto a try.

You're so late, I just don't know.

Full up.

However, the student ghettos

within walking distance.

You said you didn't have a car.

Now here, here's a map of the area.

You're here.

The main residential area is here.

No, no.

I'm sorry, pal, I rented the last one this morning.

Know what I mean?

You probably don't wanna venture out

much past fourth street.

We do have a couple of listings on the sheet

for those streets but

you're into pretty rough territory out there.

Hey, kids, leave him alone!

Okay, you're all right.

So what do you want, a fucking medal?!

Hey.

Hey, kids, come on.

Come on.

Okay, do you know here this address is?

Hey, I can't read, man.

Okay.

Okay, hey, come on.

Come here.

Come on.

Okay, you know where this address is?

Yeah, it's a great big old house.

There's an old sign in front.

You can't miss it!

Jesús.

That sign don't mean nothing, aye!

Didn't you hear, man?

Nobody home there.

Where you going, aye?

Yes?

Hi, I'm a new student at the university

and they tell me you have rooms for rent.

But they made a big mistake, didn't they?

Hey, Maria.

Looking like a million bucks.

I'll give you 20.

Hi.

Who are you?

My name is Jacques Montaigne and

I'm looking for a room to rent.

The university sends him, Maria

Come inside for a minute.

Thank you.

- I'm sorry, we haven't rented rooms for over a year.

Please make an exception.

There are no other places left

and I have to be back on campus for a meeting

in half an hour.

It's not safe here.

I told them to take us off the list.

We can't afford the liability.

I'll pay your insurance.

Please, this is very important to me.

You're not a drug dealer, are you?

Maria.

Oh, it's all right.

No, I'm not, I've saved for many years to go to school here.

Let me just stay for a couple days

until I can find another place, okay?

This is great, thank you.

You're welcome.

The bathroom is down the hall on the left

and there's some fresh towels in the cupboard by the sink.

Here.

This is to the front door.

Please, don't lose it.

- There won't be any trouble, I promise you.

Oh.

Are you going to wear this to the reception tonight?

Yeah.

- Well, why don't I have Mother Ordonez press it for you?

Thank you.

Hey, Jesús.

What?

He's back, man.

Check it out.

Hey, bato!

Where you going?

Wait a minute.

We wanna talk to you, man, come here!

Get over here.

Hey!

What's the language you speak, bato?

- You gonna be saying at the Ordonez house our what?

I think if you do, things are gonna go

very hard for you, man!

Don't mess with me.

Hello.

Glad to have you aboard.

Thank you, sir, glad to be here.

I need another drink.

There are only a couple left.

Who else is there?

Let's see, there's...

Yeah, there's the Browning woman.

Hi, what have we got here?

You taught her father here in '59.

And there's Mr. Montaigne.

He's been waiting for about two or three hours now.

Let's let him wait some more, shall we?

Now, which one is the Browning woman?

- Chairman Rice, what an honor to finally meet you.

Makes me sound a little like a leader

of a communist country, doesn't it?

Dr. Rice is sufficient, Miss...

Browning,

Ann Jeanette Browning. - Remember her father.

Oh, yes.

I remember your father telling me once

how much he hoped he have a boy.

How disappointed he must've been when you arrived.

But then, I'm sure you're doing everything in your power

to make up for it.

Now then, where's our "jock?"

Mr. Montaigne.

Dr. Rice.

Welcome to the engineering department.

Now I'm sure you've been told

but in case you haven't,

you should know that I think you

are an intellectual imposter.
