Reckless Behavior: Caught on Tape

Hi Mom.

Emma.

Hi, thank you.

Hey, how's it goin'?

Good, thanks.

See ya. - See ya.

Tom.

86, 88, 90!

92, 94, 96, 98, 100!

Okay, put your desks back.

Put your desks back.

Miss Eiser.

Hi.

We usually take recess outside.

Right.

See, it's math.

I found this idea on the internet

that you, you, multiplications,

you drill the ball.

Throw it back and forth, so--

Oh good.

Good, it's just, it's a little noisy.

You know, for the other classes.

Without balls.

Oh, I understand.

Yeah.

We'll try to keep it down.

By the way, it looks interesting.

Do you mind if I come by the next

time you're in the multiplication tables?

I never thought I'd hear myself say that.

But, I would.

Yeah, absolutely.

Sounds great.

Okay!

Who wants to be the octopus?

Me!

Yeah!

I mean, you'd think that they'd be

interested in something new

to get so bent out of shape by a little racket.

All our kids wanted to be in your class.

But you come in here all excited and bushy-tailed,

a year out of school.

You may be ready to change the world,

but to most people, different is a threat.

Yeah, but you're a great teacher,

how can you be so cynical?

- I save my enthusiasm for battles I can win.

Lorraine!

Hi.

How are you?

Great, couldn't be better, you?

Well I got yelled at today

because I was teaching math in this new way, and--

What, are you kidding me?

I break up with the guy I'm supposed to marry,

and you're the one having a tough day?

What happened?

I thought you guys were gonna get married this summer.

- Yeah, well the bride's always the last to know.

It's last week's tabloids, you know what I mean?

Excuse me.

Lorraine!

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Look.

We're going on our annual trip.

You, me and Steph.

Only, we're not going in the summer,

and we're going some place fun.

Spring break.

A place called Mintner's Cove or something.

Somewhere near San Diego.

Get your life in order.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

Our yearly trip, now?

No.

Hi. - Hi, how are you?

Let's do it.

In fact, it was her idea.

Find me another fiance.

Leaves for the week.

- David and I haven't seen much of each other this semester,

and we were gonna go on this camping trip.

- What don't you understand about the beach?

You may not believe this,

but I actually want to go camping with David.

Ah, you're farther gone than I thought.

I'll tell you what,

I'm going home tomorrow.

I'll see him and ask him.

Ask him?

It's positively Stepfordian.

Let me tell you, you're in serious jeopardy.

You have to come.

Now that Lorrie's been dumped,

she's gonna be a nutcase.

I don't know, Steph.

You know, I've just been feeling a little weird

and unsettled lately.

It's our trip.

Our little tradition.

I know spring break isn't quite our thing,

so what if you and Lorrie are working?

I'm still in school, so we qualify to go

somewhere and act like idiots.

Well, you know what?

Sometimes I wish I were still in school.

- You are, just with a bunch of seven year olds.

- We were together all those years in college,

we didn't have to worry about real life.

We're still friends.

It's not as tough I'm moving to China.

At least not yet.

Although, maybe after spring break.

But see, that's what I mean.

You're going to China, and I'm here

with the third grade and a bitchy principal.

You are so nuts.

You know, I don't know who's worse,

you or Lorrie.

Here you are with a career that's actually working,

about to be married to this great guy,

have those 1.8 fabulous children,

while I have to thrash my way

through the academic jungle.

Yeah, but you're going to China.

Come on.

You have to come, it'll be great.

You and David can spend your whole life going camping.

Hey, Emma, what are you doing home?

- Checking to see who's leading him astray.

It doesn't take much.

Hey guys!

Hey.

Where is that bad boy?

Hey Emma, he's working out I think.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, jig's up, hide the girls!

Hey Emma

Hey honey.

Come and spot me.

Okay.

What the hell are you doing here?

- Nice greetings: "Spot me", "what are you doing here?"

Mmm.

Can you get away?

I'm away.

You

are never getting up.

I think I'll make the rules here.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I think so.

Yeah?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

God, when are you gonna get a decent bed?

When there's more call for it.

We can probably figure out something to do about it though.

Yeah, we could.

But probably not this weekend.

Why not?

You should live dangerously.

You better watch out.

One of these days

you're gonna get stuck.

Let's go.

I've got more important things to do.

Hey.

I didn't wanna tell you over the phone,

but I don't think I'm gonna be able

to do this camping trip.

I have to sit my advanced TMT course.

It's the only time I can do it 'til next year.

You bum!

Do you know that I just turned down

a spring break trip with Steph and Lorrie

to go camping with you,

and now here you are dumping me?

Come on!

If I had my way then we'd been so

bored of being together all the time,

we'd be happy to have a break.
