A Teacher (2013) - full transcript

And to the republic
for which it stands,

one nation under God,

indivisible,

with liberty
and justice for all.

All right, everyone.

It is quiz time.
You excited?

No! Oh, boy.

- Not at all.
- No.

Did anyone
do the reading last night?

Absolutely not. Mm-hmm.

Actually, I read it twice.



Okay.

Okay, after we, uh,
take the quiz,

we'll go over the practice
A.P. essays from last week.

Please pass these down.
Oh, sure.

Lanie, if you would
pass these down.

Were the essays
any better this time?

They were, actually.
I was very impressed.

Good.

All right. So...

There are four questions
on the quiz.

A few sentences each, please.

So, about
a half a page? Yes.

Right. Five lines,
or should we do six lines?

Let's
just say half a page, all right?



Smart-ass.
Okay, it's 8:20 now,

so at 8:30,
you may use your books.

At 8:40, pencils down.

Please begin.

Lanie, I love you.

Can I borrow a book, please?

You may.

Thank you.

♪♪

Ah.

Oh.
Oh.

Ugh.

That was horrible.

Yeah, it's the worst.

Who are you texting?

What?
Who was that?

Who was that?
Nothing.

Did I see the name Eric? Nope.

Have I met Eric?
Nope.

And... He's nothing.

Uh-huh.
Where did you meet Eric?

Ooh.

At school.

Nice. Very nice.

Mmm.

Have you seen the girls?

Hello, madam.
Oh. Hello.

Um... shall we?

Later, gator.
Where you going?

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, my God.

When I was in high school,

I used to go to have sex
with my boyfriend in his car,

and I'd tell my mom that I
was going to get ice cream.

Then I'd come
back a couple hours later...

with my hair all fucked up.

I can't believe...
She must have known.

She never seemed to know.

I should go.

Hey, when do you get back?

Uh, tomorrow.

Night, I think.

Late?
Um, yeah.

I can't wait.

Okay, everyone.

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving.

Don't forget to do your reading.
Catch up to chapter nine.

All right.
Thanks for the advice.

Have a great Thanksgiving.
You too.

And what can I do for
you?

Would you also like
to start a club?

Maybe the make-out club?

Shh.

When are you leaving
for Houston? Tomorrow.

Hmm.

Call me later?

I will.

Bye, Miss Watts.

Have a happy Thanksgiving.

You too, Mr. Tull.

Yeah. I've got one
in the mix this time.

- She's a good student.
- What are you all whispering about?

Oh, we're talkin' about those kids who
got busted smoking weed in the parking lot.

Yeah, and the girl Hayley?
She's in my A.P. Comp class.

Her mom's just gonna
bail her out anyway, so...

Well, yeah, she might. Hey, we're
gonna go for a drink after work.

- You wanna come with us?
- Oh, my brother's in town.

I promised him I'd
meet him for a drink, so...

You never mentioned
you had a brother. I know.

I'll see you guys later. Have
a good break. Yeah, you too.

See you. Thanks.

Hey, Diana. It's Hunter.

Uh, I'm gonna be in Austin
for a meeting.

I know it's been a long time,

but, uh, we need to
talk about Mom.

Um, you can't
just avoid this forever.

Okay? Call me.

♪♪

Di.
Hunter.

Hey.

♪♪

So how's everything?

It's good.
Mom's good too.

She doesn't always recognize me,

but, uh,

she asks about you.

I'm worried about you.

Okay.

Look, I just, um...
You need to know...

You know, I'm really... It
was really nice of you to call.

Hang on. This has been
really fun, but I've got to go now.

You can get that. I'm sure you
can expense it or something.

Sure.

I don't wanna go.

I just wanna stay here.

Just stay the night. Leave early
in the morning before Dad gets up.

I don't mean right now.

I mean this.

Us.
Hmm.

I'm trying to
tell you something.

Okay. What did you
wanna say?

You smell really good.

That's what you're
trying to tell me?

Yep. That was it.

This is the happiest I've been
in a long time.

You know what
really makes me happy?

What's that?

This.

Does your family do
like a fancy Thanksgiving, or...

Oh, no, not my family.

Can you imagine my dad
being fancy?

Um, but I am gonna introduce
you to some high school friends...

at this
party that I go to every year,

so bring something
really cute for that.

There's this guy, Dan... I think
he's someone you should meet.

And Rich,
who's unemployed right now.

But anyway,
they're both really cute...

and I don't know... I dated
both of them a long time ago.

But I just think... I think that either
of them could be great for you.

I mean, Dan is probably
particularly great...

because he is currently
not unemployed,

and he's really creative,

and he's got a couple
of Web properties,

um, so, you know,

kind of a keeper...

Someone you could see yourself
going out with.

So, when we were in high school,
actually,

he, uh, did this crazy thing...

Did you hear what
I just said? No.

I'm sorry. I haven't been
listening.

Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry.

Okay. Super casual
for Thanksgiving.

Bring something cute because I'm
taking you to a party to meet some men.

Okay? Oh, wow. I don't
have anything like that.

Something cute. You could wear
a paper bag, and you'd be cute.

But
don't. Something else.

So...
what were you saying?

Done, yeah.

This is definitely offensive.

It might be offensive, but I
think it made a lot of money.

So what?
From who?

I don't know. Anyway... Oh, this is
my lovely roommate Diana, guys.

Hi. Dan.
This is Dan.

Hi. Diana. Good to meet
you. How do you do?

Jeff. Jeff? Diana.
Nice to meet you.

Do you want a beer?

I'm good.
Uh, yeah. Sure.

Okay. I'm gonna get
you a beer. Both of you.

Uh, so you're the... the teacher?

Yeah.
Cool. Yeah.

Uh, Sophia was telling me
about that.

Cool.
What do you do?

I run a boring Web site.
Hey.

Hi. I'm Rich. Who are you?

This is, uh, uh, Diane.

Hi, Diane.
Hi. Diana. Um...

Diana. Okay, sorry. Yeah.
I'm Sophia's roommate.

What do you... She's a teacher.

Okay. Yeah. I teach
English. High school English.

Oh.

She is totally the teacher that
all the little dudes in high school...

wanted to bang,

but they couldn't bang her
in high school.

No.
No? Sorry.

Shit. There's a hair in
my beer. I'll be right back.

There's a hair in
your beer? Yeah.

Hey.
Hey.

How much longer
do you think you wanna stay?

A little while.
You wanna stay?

Wanna go? I do.
I'm just really tired.

Um, you wanna take my car?

Could I? Yeah. You
can totally take it.

Yeah, I can give you a ride
back. That would be great.

This is the key to the car,

and that's the key to the house.

Okay. All right.
Yeah.

See you later. Nice to
meet you. See you at home.

Okay.
Be back soon.

Hey, it's Eric. Leave me a
message, and I'll call you back.

Hey.
It's me.

I miss you.

Bye.

Do we really have to
keep watching this? Yes.

Dad.

Yes.

Hey.
It makes him happy.

Okay.
Let him be happy.

Fine.

I'll go put my feet up
for a minute. Okay.

Oh, no. This is such
a good play though.

Really? Right here?
Uh, no. In a few more.

It's not really that good.
You should go.

I thought I'd find you in here.

Whose picture was that?
Uh, just Facebook.

Yeah?

Been on that phone
an awful lot, missy.

Mm-hmm.

You're not trying
to escape, are you?

'Cause I would like to escape
from these crazy people...

that are my family.

Oh, they're so sweet.

Well, they think you're great.
They're so glad you're here.

And I'm really glad
that you're here...

and not alone.

You're well-fed, and it's good
to spend the holiday with you.

My family just loves you.

Our house is your house.

Just sleeping in a
couple more minutes.

It's just wonderful.
I know.

Hey, have you, uh... Have you seen
that photo that's going around school?

Apparently,
it's a topless photo...

of a freshman girl.

God.

I mean, a student's phone
was confiscated,

and the new assistant
principal found it.

Oh.
What was she thinking?

I mean, kids... They can
do things that are so stupid.

I mean, that's really dumb.

Yeah.
Phones are everywhere.

Everybody will send that
to everyone.

It was a freshman? Yeah.
Yeah, she's a freshman.

I don't have her, but, um,

I think Irene has her.

So.

But...

I hope her parents don't
see that. That would just be...

That'd be so sad.

Oh, my gosh. By the
way, I totally forgot.

I meant to ask you sooner.

Is there any way you can help me
chaperone the Sadie Hawkins Day dance?

Please?

I need, like, three more people.

Oh.

Really.
It could be fun.

I've managed to get out of doing
that the whole time I've been here.

Please, come on.
Oh.

Um... Who else is chaperoning?

Um, Tony...

and, uh... now, Irene...

She never got back to me on it.

Oh, gosh.
I really need your help.

I need to get, like,
three more people.

Yeah, I'll do it. Yeah, it's
fine. I'll do it. You owe me, but...

I'm there. Okay. Thank
you. Thank you so much.

Mm-hmm. That'll
be great. It'll be fun.

Mm-hmm.
Yeah. It will.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

I need you to delete
that photo from your phone.

Okay.

No, I need you to do it now.

Done.
Thanks.

Is it about that girl?

Yeah. It just made me
really nervous.

You have a good Thanksgiving?

Yeah. It was good.

You?

It was all right.

Can I, uh... Can I
come see you tonight?

Yeah.

My roommate's out of town
still, so just come on over.

All right.

What's up, man?
Yo, what's up, bro?

How you doin'?
Good. What about you?

Good, man. You boys
stay out of trouble, all right?

You hungry?
Yeah, dude.

Let's grill.
Let's roll.

...the police
department now wants the city...

So, I got pulled in to chaperoning
the Sadie Hawkins dance.

Oh, yeah?

This girl actually asked
me to the dance today.

Really?
Mm-hmm.

Yeah?
Yeah?

Figured, uh,

I should go, you know, just so
people don't get suspicious or anything.

Yes?

So, I have to watch you dance
with some girl?

Mmm. Are you jealous?

I kind of like it.

Does that mean
that you're going with her?

Yeah.
Really?

Yeah. Don't worry.
It doesn't mean anything.

Just goin' with her.

The regular deadline for U.T.
applications are coming up.

Has everyone gotten their waivers
who is planning on getting a waiver?

Does anyone need
any help with that?

- Good? We all good?
- Good to go.

There's also A.P.'s.

You want to start thinking about which
A.P.'s you're gonna wanna take, which exams.

You're gonna wanna sign up
for that. How long is the exam?

How long is each exam?
The exam.

Um... I think
it's three hours.

Okay.

Just don't take it. My
sister said it was like two...

All right. What else? Um, do
we have any announcements?

Student relations?

Um, if anybody wants to
help clean up after the dance...

Forget it, Lanie.

Lanie, no one's gonna
clean up after the dance.

We love you, Lanie. Is
everyone going to the dance?

- No.
- Oh, yeah.

Are you chaperoning?
Um, I do not know.

You should.

We shall see. Is that
freshman gonna be there?

Lanie, are you gonna
invite me to the dance?

In your dreams.

I asked that freshman. I'm
going with that freshman.

No. You asked her too? You
can't really say no to those.

Hello?
Hey, baby.

I was just thinking
about you. Okay.

Yeah.

Can I come over?

Oh. She's home.

What about later?
We can go to my brother's.

What time?

9:00?
Okay.

Bye.

Ha-ha!

Are you sure this
is okay? Totally.

Greg said he'd be gone
all weekend.

Greg's your only brother, right?

No. There's, uh, Doug,
who lives in L.A.

Some water?

No, thanks.

How old is Greg?

Like 26, I think.

Take your clothes off.

Come here.

It's pretty rainy.
I know.

You think it's gonna be
raining at the ranch? Nah.

Still got a long ways to go,
and it's moving out.

It'll be good.

Mmm.

I've never been
to a ranch before.

Really? We don't have
them on the East Coast.

Right.

How long have you been in Texas?

Four years.

You've never been to a ranch?

No one I know has one.

Wow.

Lucky for you, I do.

Hmm!
Hey.

I think we should
just keep driving...

Just stay out here forever,
never go back.

Huh. You're crazy.

Put some music on.

No. I doubt it.

You doubt it?

It's fine. Okay?

James is cool.
He doesn't give a fuck.

Hey.

You have no idea how terrible this would
be for me if we were found out, do you?

Yes, I do.

But it's fine. I mean...

I would lose my job.
Okay. I know.

What if that man tells your
father? He's not going to.

Look, I told you...

I know James, all right?
He's fine.

He's caught me down here
