GOOD-BYE, DAD. BYE, DADDY.
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING?
OH, TO THE HOCKEY GAME.
WE THOUGHT WE'D CLEAR
OUT OF HERE WHILE YOU HAD
YOUR SURPRISE PARTY FOR YOUR
FRIEND FRANK. OH, THANK YOU.
COME ON, ARNOLD, LET'S GO!
ARNOLD, WHY ARE YOU
WEARING A GOALIE MASK?
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
A WILD PUCK UP MY NOSE.
ARNOLD, YOU CAN
TAKE THAT MASK OFF.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO
THE HOCKEY GAME TONIGHT.
WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT, DAD?
I AM TALKING ABOUT
THE "D" YOU GOT
ON YOUR LAST HISTORY TEST.
YOU ARE GONNA STAY HOME
TONIGHT AND STUDY HISTORY.
WELL, IN A WAY, I AM.
IF I GO TO THE GAME TONIGHT,
BY TOMORROW IT'LL BE HISTORY.
ARNOLD...
I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D BUY THAT.
I'M SORRY, ARNOLD, BUT
DADDY'S REALLY RIGHT.
YEAH, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT IT, ARNOLD.
WE'LL BRING YOU BACK A PROGRAM.
THANKS. AND WRAP
IT AROUND A HOT DOG.
AHA, THAT'LL BE THE
MAN WITH THE CAKE.
GOOD EVENING, YOUNG PERSON.
IS DRUMMOND RESIDENCE?
YES, IT IS.
EXCELLENT. I AM MILOS.
I COME BEARING BIRTHDAY CAKE.
AH, WOULD YOU PLEASE PUT THE
CAKE ON THIS PLATTER? THANK YOU.
YOUR COMMAND IS MY WISH.
BOY, OH, BOY, IS SOME APARTMENT.
IT REMINDS ME OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
DO THEY HAVE APARTMENTS
LIKE THIS IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA?
NO, TRAIN STATIONS.
SEE YOU GUYS LATER. BYE-BYE.
HAVE A GOOD TIME, KIDS. OK.
YEAH, YOU TOO.
DAD, CAN I GO WITH THEM PLEASE?
ARNOLD, START
STUDYING YOUR HISTORY.
BUT IT'S SO BORING.
BOY, ADAM AND EVE WERE LUCKY.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ANY HISTORY TO LEARN.
IS A SMALL CAKE FOR MILOS.
BACK IN PRAGUE WHERE I
LEARN TO BE PASTRY CHEF,
I BAKE CAKE "THIS BIG"
FOR RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT.
WHY DID YOU NEED
SUCH A BIG CAKE?
WELL, YOU NEED BIG CAKE WHEN
YOU HAVE TO SAY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
NIKOLAI IVANOVICH
MISLOKNAKONAVICH."
WELL, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
CAKE, ALL RIGHT.
MY FRIEND FRANK IS GONNA BE EVEN
MORE SURPRISED THAN I HAD HOPED.
WHY IS THIS?
BECAUSE IT SAYS, "HAPPY
BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY."
AYE, YACHNIK!
OH, I AM SO EMBARRASSED.
DON'T WORRY THAT IT. IT'S
NO GREAT CATASTROPHE.
OH, YOU ARE SO KIND.
IT IS NICE TO LIVE IN COUNTRY
WHERE IF YOU MAKE MISTAKE,
THEY DON'T GIVE YOU
CIGARETTE AND BLINDFOLD.
FRANK WILL JUST HAVE TO
DO WITHOUT A BIRTHDAY CAKE.
DAD, I HAVE AN IDEA.
SURE, WHAT'S THAT, ARNOLD?
I'LL EAT SHIRLEY OFF THE CAKE.
ARNOLD, BACK TO YOUR HISTORY.
AH, I HAVE STORM IN BRAIN.
DOWNSTAIRS IN PASTRY TRUCK
IS DIFFERENT CAKE
WITH NO WRITING.
IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME
TO ENTER YOUR KITCHEN,
I WILL MAKE UP ICING AND
SPRITZ "FRANK" ALL OVER CAKE.
IS GOOD IDEA.
I MEAN, UH...
GO AHEAD AND SPRITZ.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I'LL DO IT AT ONCE.
DAD, COULD YOU HELP ME
WITH MY HISTORY TEST, PLEASE?
SURE.
WHO WAS THE EIGHTH
PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES?
EIGHTH? AH, LET'S SEE,
WELL, THERE WAS, UH,
WASHINGTON, ADAMS,
JEFFERSON, UH, M-MONROE
WAS IN THERE SOMEPLACE.
EIGHTH?
IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME.
PRESIDENT NUMBER 8
WAS MARTIN WAN BUREN.
MARTIN WAN BUREN.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT.
WHICH TWO PRESIDENTS
DIED ON THE SAME DAY?
OH, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.
THAT'S WHAT I WROTE ON MY TEST.
ANSWER TO SMALL PERSON'S QUESTION
IS JOHN ADAMS AND THOMAS JEFFERSON.
WAS ON FOURTH OF JULY, 1826.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!
HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY?
I GO TO NIGHT SCHOOL TO
LEARN TO PASS CITIZEN TEST.
I HAVE VERY WONDERFUL
TEACHER, MISS ARMSTRONG.
VERY YOUNG, VERY SMART,
IS PLEASURE TO LOOK ON HER FACE.
SHE REMINDS ME OF
HANNAH MALOVAKREKNIK.
WHO'S THAT?
IS CZECHOSLOVAKIAN
MARY TYLER MOORE.
WELL, I HOPE SHE KEEPS
YOU AFTER SCHOOL.
OH. I... I GO GET CAKE.
THANK YOU, MR...
DUBROVSKI.
YOU SPELL THAT
D-U-B-R-O-V-S-K-I.
I'LL MAKE A NOTE OF THAT.
IF SMALL PERSON PROMISE
TO STUDY HISTORY OF
GREATEST COUNTRY IN WORLD,
MILOS WILL BRING BACK
COOKIES TO FILL BIG CHEEKS.
I PROMISE, SO HELP
ME MILLARD FILLMORE.
MILLARD FILLMORE.
BORN JANUARY 7, 1800.
MOST FAMOUS UNKNOWN PRESIDENT.
MR. DUBROVSKI, YOU ARE
A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA.
YEAH, I'D LOVE TO
WALK INTO MY CLASS
AND PUT YOU IN MY DESK.
AGAIN, FORGIVE ABOUT CAKE.
I ONLY MAKE MISTAKE BECAUSE
HEAD IS FILLED WITH BIG PROBLEM.
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE PROBLEM.
BUT IS NOT YOUR
PROBLEM, IT'S MY PROBLEM.
WELL I HOPE YOU SOLVE IT.
NO PROBLEM.
GOOD EVENING, MY FRIENDS.
HAVE SURPRISE FOR CLASS.
ANYBODY HERE NAMED SHIRLEY?
WHAT IS YOUR SURPRISE,
MILOS? IN BOX IS CAKE.
WE EAT DURING INTERMISSION.
YOU DO NOT MEAN INTERMISSION.
INTERMISSION IS BETWEEN
THE ACTS OF A PLAY.
YOU MEAN WE'LL EAT THE
CAKE DURING THE BREAK.
BREAK?
A BREAK IS LIKE A RECESS.
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE, BUT I
AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION
THAT A RECESS IS AN "IDENTIA."
NO, KWAME,
AN INDENTIA'S FALSE TEETH.
I TELL YOU WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO.
IS MY CAKE, WE EAT
DURING INTERMISSION.
GOOD EVENING, CLASS.
HELLO, MISS ARMSTRONG.
HERE ARE THE
PAMPHLETS I PROMISED
ON CAREER OPPORTUNITIES.
I'M SORRY I'M LATE.
WELL, ACTUALLY, THE
BUS DRIVER WAS LATE.
THE REASON HE WAS LATE IS
BECAUSE THE WOMAN ON THE BUS
WHO HAD THE BABY WAS EARLY.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PASS OUT
THE PAMPHLETS, MISS ARMSTRONG?
OH, THANK YOU, KWAME.
TEACHER'S PET.
REMEMBER, IN SOUTH AFRICA,
I WAS A BOXER.
OH, JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING.
MING LI, YOU DON'T NEED
A PAMPHLET TO FIND A JOB.
YOU'RE A DOCTOR.
OH, ONLY IN CHINA.
IN THIS COUNTRY,
I'M STILL NOT DOCTOR.
OH, YOU WILL BE, MING LI.
YOU WON'T ALWAYS BE A
TECHNICIAN IN THAT HOSPITAL.
I TELL YOU, I CANNOT
WAIT FOR DAY
I CAN PRACTICE
MEDICINE IN THIS COUNTRY.
MING LI, FORGET IT.
YOU WILL NEVER BE
A DOCTOR IN AMERICA.
WHY YOU SAY THAT?
BECAUSE YOU DON'T
OWN A CONDOMINIUM.
CLASS, SHALL WE CONTINUE
WITH OUR ENGLISH ESSAYS?
UM, MILOS,
YOU'RE FIRST TONIGHT.
AYE, YACHNIK!
PARDON LANGUAGE.
BUT COMPLETE FORGOT ABOUT ESSAY.
I HAVE PROBLEM IN
STUPID HEAD LAST NIGHT.
UH, MISS ARMSTRONG,
MILOS AND I WERE
TOGETHER LAST NIGHT,
SO I MUST SHARE BLAME FOR
MY GOOD FRIEND'S STUPIDITY.
THANK YOU, MING LI.
HEY, I THINK YOU TWO
GOT SOME HOOTCHY-KOOTCHY
GOING ON, HUH?
OH, NO, RUDY,
NO HOOTCHY OR KOOTCHY.
YOU SEE, UH, LAST NIGHT,
I INVITE MILOS TO
HAVE DINNER WITH ME
IN HOSPITAL CAFETERIA.
AND AFTERWARDS,
I WAS TALKING OF
MY LIFE IN CHINA.
ONLY, UH, MILOS
WAS NOT LISTENING.
HIS MIND WAS ELSEWHERE.
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, MILOS?
PROBLEM IS PROBABLY NO PROBLEM.
EXCUSE ME FOR
INTERRUPTING YOU, MA'AM,
BUT IS THIS THE
CITIZENSHIP CLASS? YES, IT IS.
DETECTIVE SIMPSON.
I'M HERE TO QUESTION
ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS.
WHICH ONE OF MY STUDENTS?
WELL, IT WAS A
MR. MING LI CHANG.
UH, THAT IS ME,
BUT NOT THE "MR."
YOU GOT A POINT THERE.
OFFICER, WHAT DO
YOU WANT WITH MING LI?
WELL, THERE WAS A THEFT
AT THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WORKS,
AND WE'D JUST LIKE TO ASK
A FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
MISS CHANG, WOULD YOU MIND
STEPPING OUTSIDE
WITH ME FOR A MINUTE?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
MING LI, DON'T SAY NOTHING.
SPEAK ONLY IN CHINESE.
PLEASE, MY FRIENDS,
THERE IS NO NEED FOR CONCERN.
I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG
AND THERE'S NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT, OK? OK.
MISS ARMSTRONG, WHAT ARE
WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?
OH, CLASS, JUST BECAUSE THE
POLICE WANT TO TALK TO HER
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE
GOING TO TAKE HER TO JAIL.
EXCUSE, PLEASE,
BUT IS JUST LIKE IN
CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
WHEN POLICE SAY,
"JUST WANT TO ASK
FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS,"
THAT MEANS YOU CAN KISS YOUR
SWEET PATOOSHKI GOOD-BYE.
THAT'S IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA, MILOS.
HERE YOU'RE INNOCENT
UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
BELIEVE ME, POLICE
ARE SAME EVERYWHERE.
EXCEPT IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA
WHERE THEY ARE THE WORST.
NO, THEY ARE NOT.
IN CUBA, ARE POLICE
ARE THE WORST.
AND OUR PRISONS ARE
THE MOST DISGUSTING.
IMPOSSIBLE. CZECHOSLOVAKIA PRISONS
ARE MORE DISGUSTING THAN ANYBODY'S.
OH, YEAH?
OUR PRISONS ARE SO DISGUSTING,
EVEN THE COCKROACHES
TRY TO ESCAPE.
IN OUR PRISONS, THE
COCKROACHES DON'T TRY TO ESCAPE.
THEY COMMIT SUICIDE.
THAT IS DISGUSTING. UH-HUH.
PLEASE, DO YOU HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT COCKROACHES?
LOOK, YOU TWO ARE TALKING
ABOUT TOTALITARIAN COUNTRIES.
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S LIKE HERE.
INNOCENT PEOPLE LIKE MING LI
AREN'T PUT IN JAIL.
MAY I ASK
HYPO-THEATRICAL QUESTION?
YOU MEAN
"HYPOTHETICAL" QUESTION.
ANYWAY, TAKE HYPOTHETICAL
PERSON LIKE MING LI.
SUPPOSE POLICE
TAKE HER TO PRISON
AND SHE CANNOT PROVE
THAT SHE IS INNOCENT.
BUT SUPPOSE THERE IS
HYPOTHETICAL WITNESS,
SOME MAN WHO
HAPPENED TO BE THERE
WHO SAW REAL THIEF STEAL DRUGS.
WHAT DRUGS?
YEAH, WHAT'S THIS ABOUT DRUGS?
DID I SAY DRUGS?
MISS ARMSTRONG, UH, I'M AFRAID
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
FINISH CLASS TONIGHT.
UNFORTUNATELY, I
HAVE VERY GOOD EXCUSE.
I'M BEING ARRESTED.
WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING HER?
WELL, SHE HAD THE ONLY KEY
TO THE HOSPITAL DISPENSARY
WHERE SOME DRUGS WERE STOLEN.
DRUGS?
MILOS, I'D LIKE TO ANSWER
THAT QUESTION YOU RAISED.
A HYPOTHETICAL
PERSON LIKE MING LI
WOULD INDEED GO FREE
IF THERE WAS A WITNESS
WHO ACTUALLY SAW THE THEFT
AND TOLD THE POLICE.
THAT WOULD BE THE
RIGHT THING TO DO.
THE HYPOTHETICAL WITNESS
SHOULD COME FORWARD.
ONLY IF HE'S A
HYPOTHETICAL DUMMY.
WRONG, RUDY.
TRUST ME, MILOS.
I WISH YOU ALL TO KNOW
I HAVE NEVER HAD
SUCH GOOD FRIENDS
AND SUCH WONDERFUL TEACHER.
GOOD-BYE.
Rudy: WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.
WAIT, PLEASE!
WOMAN IS INNOCENT.
OH, AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE I SAW CRIME.
I AM WITNESS.
YOU SAW?
OH, IN THAT CASE,
I THINK YOU HAD
BETTER COME DOWN TO THE
STATION HOUSE WITH US, TOO.
STATION?
FOR WHY?
WE JUST WANT TO ASK A
FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
"FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS"?
I AM KISSING MY SWEET
PATOOSHKI GOOD-BYE.
DON'T WORRY, MILOS.
I AM HERE IF YOU NEED ME.
AND IF YOU NEED
ME, I'LL BE IN JAIL.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, MISS. ARMSTRONG.
OH, I'M SORRY TO GET
YOU INTO THIS, MILOS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MILOS.
THIS IS AMERICA.
TERRIFIC. I'LL PUT THAT ON
ALL THE LICENSE PLATES I MAKE.
TRUST YOU.
YOU COPS TOOK MY ROOMMATE AWAY
AND I WANT TO KNOW WHERE HE IS!
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE NEW YORK'S FINEST.
IF YOU'RE SO FINE,
HOW COME YOU CAN'T FIND
ONE CHUBBY CZECHOSLOVAKIAN?
WHAT?
OH, HE'S ABOUT MY SIZE,
BUT HE DON'T TALK SO GOOD AS ME.
OH, EXCUSE ME, I CAN'T
TALK TO YOU NO MORE.
I GOTTA GO TALK TO THE DOOR.
HI, RUDY.
OH, HELLO, MISS ARMSTRONG.
I WAS HOPING IT WAS MILOS.
WHY WOULD MILOS
RING HIS OWN DOORBELL?
DOESN'T HE HAVE A KEY?
WELL, YOU SEE, WE
GOT THIS SYSTEM...
IN CASE I GOT...
SOMETHING COOKING.
I THOUGHT MILOS WAS THE COOK.
OH...
YOU MEAN COOKING.
YOU'RE NOT COOKING NOW, ARE YOU?
OH, NO, IT'S BEEN A SLOW WEEK.
IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO HOURS
SINCE MILOS WENT OFF
TO THE POLICE STATION.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING?
NO, AND THANKS TO YOU,
WE MAY NEVER
HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN.
TRUST YOU, TRUST THE POLICE.
PLEASE, HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL?
I'VE ONLY BEEN
TEACHING TWO MONTHS.
THIS IS MY FIRST CLASS.
TWO OF MY STUDENTS ARE IN JAIL,
ONE BECAUSE HE LISTENED TO ME.
THAT IS RIGHT.
COULDN'T YOU AT LEAST
ARGUE WITH ME A LITTLE?
I AM SORRY, MISS ARMSTRONG.
IT'S JUST THAT I AM SO
WORRIED ABOUT MILOS!
HE IS SO EMOTIONAL.
HE CANNOT CONTROL
HIMSELF LIKE ME.
HE HAS NO SELF-CONTROL!
OH, RUDY, I GUESS YOU'RE UPSET.
OH, OH, OH!
RUDY, I...
SORRY, I DID NOT KNOW
YOU HAD LADY HERE.
THAT'S NOT LADY,
THAT'S OUR TEACHER.
MILOS, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU!
PLEASE, NO AFFECTION WHILE
INNOCENT WOMAN IS STILL IN JAIL.
YOU HEAR THAT?
MING LI IS STILL IN JAIL.
TELL US MORE ABOUT
YOUR WONDERFUL POLICE.
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.
THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME.
THEY SAID BECAUSE I AM FRIEND,
I COULD BE MAKING
UP A LULLABY FOR HER.
YOU MEAN "ALIBI."
THAT, TOO.
AND THEY TOLD ME I
CANNOT LEAVE TOWN.
THIS MEANS I AM STILL OFF HOOK.
ON THE HOOK.
ON THE HOOK, OFF THE HOOK,
ALIBI, LULLABY.
THE REAL TROUBLE
WITH THIS COUNTRY
IS NOBODY SPEAKS
CZECHOSLOVAKIAN!
PLEASE, CALM DOWN
AND TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.
WELL, THEY TAKE ME TO POLICE...
I SEE CUBAN WAS USING
SELF-CONTROL AGAIN.
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE POLICE STATION.
WELL, I... I... I TOLD THEM
EVERYTHING I KNEW.
AND BELIEVE ME,
THEY'RE NOT THROUGH WITH ME YET.
LOOK, MILOS, HERE,
IF YOU'RE INNOCENT,
YOU'LL GO FREE.
EVEN IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
YOU'LL GET A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
IF HE IS SO INNOCENT,
WHY DOES HE NEED A LAWYER?
GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WHAT I MEAN IS,
EVEN IF YOU'RE PUT IN JAIL,
YOU'LL EVENTUALLY GO FREE.
INNOCENT PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN IN JAIL
FOR 15 YEARS OR MORE AND...
WELL, MAYBE THAT'S
NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE.
SHE SCARES ME MORE THAN POLICE.
IS THIS WHY I COME
TO THIS COUNTRY?
I HOPED FOR BETTER LIFE.
DEMOCRACY. JUSTICE.
WHERE IS JUSTICE IF MING LI
IS STILL IN JAIL
AND POLICE TELL ME
I CANNOT LEAVE TOWN?
YOU HAVE TO STAY IN TOWN
BECAUSE YOU'RE A WITNESS.
SHE IS RIGHT, MILOS.
I HEAR THEM SAY THAT ON ALL
THE TELEVISION COP SHOWS.
THEY SAY THAT
BECAUSE I AM SUSPECT.
AND ONE NIGHT SOON,
I WILL HEAR BOOTS ON STAIRWAY,
KNOCK ON DOOR,
AND THEY SEND TO JAIL OR WORSE,
BACK TO CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
AND MY DREAM OF CITIZEN
IS BEING GONE FOREVER.
MILOS, I KEEP TELLING YOU
THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT IS.
SURE, SO OUR SYSTEM
MAY NOT BE PERFECT.
NOW SHE TELLS ME.
IT'S STILL THE BEST
SYSTEM THERE IS.
AND IT WORKS FOR MOST OF
THE PEOPLE MOST OF THE TIME.
AND I'LL TELL YOU
ONE MORE THING.
AMERICAN COCKROACHES
DON'T COMMIT SUICIDE.
WELL, YOU GOT A
PRETTY GOOD TEMPER.
YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT
CUBAN SOMEWHERE?
WHAT A MESS.
POOR MING LI IS IN JAIL AND...
I'M SORRY, MILOS.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO
GET YOU INTO THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH ME.
OH, PLEASE, NOT TO CRY.
I KNOW YOU MEANT WELL.
THANKS.
KEEP GOOD THOUGHTS, MILOS.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
TO THINK POSITIVELY.
I WISH I COULD.
IS VERY NICE LADY.
YEAH, SHE'S A GOOD FRIEND, TOO.
OH, YEAH, AND YOU ARE
GOOD FRIEND, TOO, RUDY.
NO, NO, IT IS LUCKY DAY
FOR ME WHEN I MEET YOU.
IT WAS LUCKIER DAY FOR ME
WHEN I MEET YOU IN
THAT SCHOOL CAFETERIA.
I WAS BROKE, BUT YOU
WERE TOTAL STRANGER.
YOU BOUGHT MY FOOD.
WELL, YOU LOOK LIKE
MAN I COULD TRUST.
OH, THANK YOU.
BY THE WAY, YOU
NEVER PAID ME BACK.
YOU'LL GET IT BACK NEXT
WEEK IF YOU'RE NOT IN JAIL.
THANK YOU... I THINK.
MILOS, AMIGO.
LISTEN TO ME.
DO NOT LET THE POLICE
DRIVE YOU CRAZY.
YOU'VE GOT TO THINK
OF SOMETHING ELSE.
RUDY, IT DOES NOT MATTER
WHAT I THINK IN HEAD,
BUT WHAT I FEEL IN HEART.
TOTAL FEAR.
NOW, CLASS, THE O-U-G-H IN
THIS WORD IS PRONOUNCED "OFF,"
AND THE O-U-G-H IN THIS WORD
IS PRONOUNCED "OH."
AND WHY IS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW WHY,
BUT THAT'S HOW IT IS.
YOU SEE,
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS VERY...
WELL, IT'S VERY...
I'M SORRY, CLASS.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
MISS ARMSTRONG?
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
I JUST CAN'T CONCENTRATE.
MY MIND IS ON MING LI AND MILOS,
AND NOW RUDY'S NOT HERE.
HE MUST STOP BLAMING YOURSELF.
MISS ARMSTRONG,
YOU MUST REMEMBER
THAT YOU ARE A VERY
INEXPERIENCED LADY.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT
THAT YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THANK YOU, KWAME. I NEEDED THAT.
MISS ARMSTRONG,
DO YOU THINK THEY
WILL RELEASE MING LI?
WELL, I'M NOT SURE,
BUT SHE'S GETTING
A PUBLIC DEFENDER,
AND I KNOW SHE'LL
BE PROVEN INNOCENT.
AND MEANWHILE, SHE
HAS A COMFORTABLE CELL
THAT SHE SHARES WITH
OF VERY NICE HOOKER.
WHAT IS A HOOKER?
OH, THAT COMES
LATER IN THE COURSE.
OH, RUDY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
AND WHERE'S MILOS?
I GOT A HUNCH HE LEFT TOWN.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
ALL HIS CLOTHES ARE GONE,
ALL HIS COOKING
UTENSILS ARE GONE,
AND AND HE LEFT ME A NOTE SAYING
HE WAS LEAVING TOWN.
OH, NO!
GOOD EVENING, MILOS IS BACK.
MILOS, AMIGO, I WAS JUST
TELLING THEM ABOUT YOUR NOTE.
PLEASE DISREGARD...
WAS WRITTEN BY COWARD.
I SNEAK AWAY IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT.
FIRST, I TAKE SUBWAY.
THEN I GET OFF, I TAKE BUS.
THEN I TAKE OTHER SUBWAY,
THEN I TAKE OTHER BUS.
THEN I REALIZE HORRIBLE THING.
I'M IN BRONX.
THEN I REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAY,
MISS ARMSTRONG,
AND I SAY TO MYSELF,
"MILOS, IS WRONG
FOR YOU TO RUN AWAY.
FOO ON YOU."
MUST TRUST SYSTEM.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
OH, I'M SO GLAD, MILOS.
MING LI IS INNOCENT
AND I WILL KEEP
YELLING ON POLICE
UNTIL THEY FREE HER.
AND IF THEY WANT
COME FOR ME AGAIN,
SO LET THEM COME.
EXCUSE ME.
BUT WHY SO SOON?
WAIT A MINUTE.
HOLD IT. HOLD IT!
PLEASE, GIVE OFFICER
A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
All: MING LI!
LOOK, MR. DUBROVSKI,
YOU HUNG IN WITH YOUR STORY,
SO WE CHECKED
OUT THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE FELLOW YOU SAID
YOU SAW STEAL THE DRUGS.
AND HE FIT AN M.O.
M.O.? WHAT IS MO?
IT MEANS "METHOD OF OPERATION."
WHAT I REALLY WANTED
TO TELL YOU WAS
THAT THERE'S A GUY OUT THERE
RUNNING AROUND PULLING
THESE KIND OF JOBS.
AND WE'RE GONNA GET HIM.
BUT WE HAVEN'T YET.
THE POINT IS,
I BUSTED YOUR FRIEND MING LI
HERE IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU,
AND I JUST THOUGHT I
SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO HER
IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU.
I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THE COOPERATION
YOU GAVE US DOWN AT
THE STATION, MISS CHANG.
YOU ARE WELCOME.
AND, UH, IF I NEVER
SEE YOU AGAIN,
IT WILL BE MY PLEASURE.
HALT, PLEASE, MR. DETECTIVE.
IS ONE MORE THING,
MISS ARMSTRONG,
SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD LIVE TO SEE MYSELF DO.
KISS A COP!
GOT ONE MORE.
WELL, CLASS, THAT WAS
QUITE AN EXPERIENCE.
WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM THIS?
I KNOW!
NEVER HAVE DINNER WITH MING LI.
I DID IT!
HEY, WHERE IS
EVERYBODY? I'M HOME!
WHAT? GUESS WHAT?! GUESS WHAT?!
ARNOLD, WHAT'S
ALL THE EXCITEMENT?
WHAT HAPPENED?
ISN'T ANYBODY GONNA
ASK ME WHAT GRADE I GOT
ON MY HISTORY TEST TODAY?
NO.
WAIT A MINUTE.
JUST KIDDING. JUST KIDDING.
YEAH, OF COURSE WE
WANT HERE, ARNOLD.
I HOPE IT IS A BETTER GRADE
THAN THE "D" YOU
GOT ON THE LAST ONE.
IT IS SO MUCH BETTER, YOU'LL
WANT TO GIVE ME A REWARD.
WHAT'S THE GRADE?
WHAT'S THE REWARD?
THE REWARD IS IS THAT
DAD WON'T GROUND YOU
FOR THE "D" YOU GOT.
WOULD YOU QUIT STALLING?
WHAT GRADE DID YOU GET?
I GOT AN "A!"
YAY! ALL RIGHT.
HEY, YOU GOT A 99!
I ONLY MISSED ONE QUESTION.
IT WAS ABOUT JOHN
ALDEN AND MYLES STANDISH.
I HAD PRISCILLA MAKING
OUT WITH THE WRONG DUDE.
GOOD EVENING.
REMEMBER ME? MAN
FROM STUPID CAKE?
YES, COME IN, COME IN, COME IN.
Kimberly: HI. Arnold: HI.
WHAT BRINGS YOU
BACK, MR. DUBROVSKI?
I RETURN TO MAKE UP
FOR MISTAKE WITH CAKE
FOR FRIEND FRANK. I BRING GIFT.
OH, THAT WASN'T
NECESSARY, BUT THANK YOU.
OH, INCIDENTALLY, SMALL PERSON
GOT AN "A" ON HIS HISTORY TEST.
OH, GOOD.
SO DID I.
YOU LIKE?
Philip: OH.
Willis: OH, IT'S TERRIFIC.
Kimberly: WOW. IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN FLAG.
YEAH, GREAT.
WOW.
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH.
I'M AFRAID YOU'VE GOT 51 STARS.
AYE, YACHNIK!
IS ONE TOO MANY.
NOT ANY MORE.

YOUR SURPRISE PARTY FOR YOUR
FRIEND FRANK. OH, THANK YOU.

ARNOLD, WHY ARE YOU
WEARING A GOALIE MASK?
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
A WILD PUCK UP MY NOSE.
ARNOLD, YOU CAN
TAKE THAT MASK OFF.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO
THE HOCKEY GAME TONIGHT.
WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT, DAD?
I AM TALKING ABOUT
THE "D" YOU GOT
ON YOUR LAST HISTORY TEST.
YOU ARE GONNA STAY HOME
TONIGHT AND STUDY HISTORY.
WELL, IN A WAY, I AM.
IF I GO TO THE GAME TONIGHT,
BY TOMORROW IT'LL BE HISTORY.
ARNOLD...
I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D BUY THAT.
I'M SORRY, ARNOLD, BUT
DADDY'S REALLY RIGHT.
YEAH, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT IT, ARNOLD.
WE'LL BRING YOU BACK A PROGRAM.
THANKS. AND WRAP
IT AROUND A HOT DOG.
AHA, THAT'LL BE THE
MAN WITH THE CAKE.
GOOD EVENING, YOUNG PERSON.

YES, IT IS.
EXCELLENT. I AM MILOS.
I COME BEARING BIRTHDAY CAKE.
AH, WOULD YOU PLEASE PUT THE
CAKE ON THIS PLATTER? THANK YOU.
YOUR COMMAND IS MY WISH.
BOY, OH, BOY, IS SOME APARTMENT.
IT REMINDS ME OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
DO THEY HAVE APARTMENTS
LIKE THIS IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA?
NO, TRAIN STATIONS.
SEE YOU GUYS LATER. BYE-BYE.
HAVE A GOOD TIME, KIDS. OK.
YEAH, YOU TOO.
DAD, CAN I GO WITH THEM PLEASE?
ARNOLD, START

BOY, ADAM AND EVE WERE LUCKY.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ANY HISTORY TO LEARN.
IS A SMALL CAKE FOR MILOS.
BACK IN PRAGUE WHERE I
LEARN TO BE PASTRY CHEF,
I BAKE CAKE "THIS BIG"
FOR RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT.
WHY DID YOU NEED
SUCH A BIG CAKE?
WELL, YOU NEED BIG CAKE WHEN
YOU HAVE TO SAY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
NIKOLAI IVANOVICH
MISLOKNAKONAVICH."
WELL, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
CAKE, ALL RIGHT.
MY FRIEND FRANK IS GONNA BE EVEN
MORE SURPRISED THAN I HAD HOPED.
WHY IS THIS?
BECAUSE IT SAYS, "HAPPY
BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY."
AYE, YACHNIK!
OH, I AM SO EMBARRASSED.
DON'T WORRY THAT IT. IT'S
NO GREAT CATASTROPHE.
OH, YOU ARE SO KIND.
IT IS NICE TO LIVE IN COUNTRY
WHERE IF YOU MAKE MISTAKE,
THEY DON'T GIVE YOU
CIGARETTE AND BLINDFOLD.
FRANK WILL JUST HAVE TO
DO WITHOUT A BIRTHDAY CAKE.
DAD, I HAVE AN IDEA.
SURE, WHAT'S THAT, ARNOLD?
I'LL EAT SHIRLEY OFF THE CAKE.
ARNOLD, BACK TO YOUR HISTORY.
AH, I HAVE STORM IN BRAIN.
DOWNSTAIRS IN PASTRY TRUCK
IS DIFFERENT CAKE
WITH NO WRITING.
IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME
TO ENTER YOUR KITCHEN,
I WILL MAKE UP ICING AND
SPRITZ "FRANK" ALL OVER CAKE.
IS GOOD IDEA.
I MEAN, UH...
GO AHEAD AND SPRITZ.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I'LL DO IT AT ONCE.
DAD, COULD YOU HELP ME
WITH MY HISTORY TEST, PLEASE?
SURE.
WHO WAS THE EIGHTH
PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES?
EIGHTH? AH, LET'S SEE,
WELL, THERE WAS, UH,
WASHINGTON, ADAMS,
JEFFERSON, UH, M-MONROE
WAS IN THERE SOMEPLACE.
EIGHTH?
IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME.
PRESIDENT NUMBER 8
WAS MARTIN WAN BUREN.
MARTIN WAN BUREN.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT.
WHICH TWO PRESIDENTS
DIED ON THE SAME DAY?
OH, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.
THAT'S WHAT I WROTE ON MY TEST.
ANSWER TO SMALL PERSON'S QUESTION
IS JOHN ADAMS AND THOMAS JEFFERSON.
WAS ON FOURTH OF JULY, 1826.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!
HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY?
I GO TO NIGHT SCHOOL TO
LEARN TO PASS CITIZEN TEST.
I HAVE VERY WONDERFUL
TEACHER, MISS ARMSTRONG.
VERY YOUNG, VERY SMART,
IS PLEASURE TO LOOK ON HER FACE.
SHE REMINDS ME OF
HANNAH MALOVAKREKNIK.
WHO'S THAT?
IS CZECHOSLOVAKIAN
MARY TYLER MOORE.
WELL, I HOPE SHE KEEPS
YOU AFTER SCHOOL.
OH. I... I GO GET CAKE.
THANK YOU, MR...
DUBROVSKI.
YOU SPELL THAT
D-U-B-R-O-V-S-K-I.
I'LL MAKE A NOTE OF THAT.
IF SMALL PERSON PROMISE
TO STUDY HISTORY OF
GREATEST COUNTRY IN WORLD,
MILOS WILL BRING BACK
COOKIES TO FILL BIG CHEEKS.
I PROMISE, SO HELP
ME MILLARD FILLMORE.
MILLARD FILLMORE.
BORN JANUARY 7, 1800.
MOST FAMOUS UNKNOWN PRESIDENT.
MR. DUBROVSKI, YOU ARE
A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA.
YEAH, I'D LOVE TO
WALK INTO MY CLASS
AND PUT YOU IN MY DESK.
AGAIN, FORGIVE ABOUT CAKE.
I ONLY MAKE MISTAKE BECAUSE
HEAD IS FILLED WITH BIG PROBLEM.
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE PROBLEM.
BUT IS NOT YOUR
PROBLEM, IT'S MY PROBLEM.
WELL I HOPE YOU SOLVE IT.
NO PROBLEM.
GOOD EVENING, MY FRIENDS.
HAVE SURPRISE FOR CLASS.
ANYBODY HERE NAMED SHIRLEY?
WHAT IS YOUR SURPRISE,
MILOS? IN BOX IS CAKE.
WE EAT DURING INTERMISSION.
YOU DO NOT MEAN INTERMISSION.
INTERMISSION IS BETWEEN
THE ACTS OF A PLAY.
YOU MEAN WE'LL EAT THE
CAKE DURING THE BREAK.
BREAK?
A BREAK IS LIKE A RECESS.
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE, BUT I
AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION
THAT A RECESS IS AN "IDENTIA."
NO, KWAME,
AN INDENTIA'S FALSE TEETH.
I TELL YOU WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO.
IS MY CAKE, WE EAT
DURING INTERMISSION.
GOOD EVENING, CLASS.
HELLO, MISS ARMSTRONG.
HERE ARE THE
PAMPHLETS I PROMISED
ON CAREER OPPORTUNITIES.
I'M SORRY I'M LATE.
WELL, ACTUALLY, THE
BUS DRIVER WAS LATE.
THE REASON HE WAS LATE IS
BECAUSE THE WOMAN ON THE BUS
WHO HAD THE BABY WAS EARLY.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PASS OUT
THE PAMPHLETS, MISS ARMSTRONG?
OH, THANK YOU, KWAME.
TEACHER'S PET.
REMEMBER, IN SOUTH AFRICA,
I WAS A BOXER.
OH, JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING.
MING LI, YOU DON'T NEED
A PAMPHLET TO FIND A JOB.
YOU'RE A DOCTOR.
OH, ONLY IN CHINA.
IN THIS COUNTRY,
I'M STILL NOT DOCTOR.
OH, YOU WILL BE, MING LI.
YOU WON'T ALWAYS BE A
TECHNICIAN IN THAT HOSPITAL.
I TELL YOU, I CANNOT
WAIT FOR DAY
I CAN PRACTICE
MEDICINE IN THIS COUNTRY.
MING LI, FORGET IT.
YOU WILL NEVER BE
A DOCTOR IN AMERICA.
WHY YOU SAY THAT?
BECAUSE YOU DON'T
OWN A CONDOMINIUM.
CLASS, SHALL WE CONTINUE
WITH OUR ENGLISH ESSAYS?
UM, MILOS,
YOU'RE FIRST TONIGHT.
AYE, YACHNIK!
PARDON LANGUAGE.
BUT COMPLETE FORGOT ABOUT ESSAY.
I HAVE PROBLEM IN
STUPID HEAD LAST NIGHT.
UH, MISS ARMSTRONG,
MILOS AND I WERE
TOGETHER LAST NIGHT,
SO I MUST SHARE BLAME FOR
MY GOOD FRIEND'S STUPIDITY.
THANK YOU, MING LI.
HEY, I THINK YOU TWO
GOT SOME HOOTCHY-KOOTCHY
GOING ON, HUH?
OH, NO, RUDY,
NO HOOTCHY OR KOOTCHY.
YOU SEE, UH, LAST NIGHT,
I INVITE MILOS TO
HAVE DINNER WITH ME
IN HOSPITAL CAFETERIA.
AND AFTERWARDS,
I WAS TALKING OF
MY LIFE IN CHINA.
ONLY, UH, MILOS
WAS NOT LISTENING.
HIS MIND WAS ELSEWHERE.
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, MILOS?
PROBLEM IS PROBABLY NO PROBLEM.
EXCUSE ME FOR
INTERRUPTING YOU, MA'AM,
BUT IS THIS THE
CITIZENSHIP CLASS? YES, IT IS.
DETECTIVE SIMPSON.
I'M HERE TO QUESTION
ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS.
WHICH ONE OF MY STUDENTS?
WELL, IT WAS A
MR. MING LI CHANG.
UH, THAT IS ME,
BUT NOT THE "MR."
YOU GOT A POINT THERE.
OFFICER, WHAT DO
YOU WANT WITH MING LI?
WELL, THERE WAS A THEFT
AT THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WORKS,
AND WE'D JUST LIKE TO ASK
A FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
MISS CHANG, WOULD YOU MIND
STEPPING OUTSIDE
WITH ME FOR A MINUTE?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
MING LI, DON'T SAY NOTHING.
SPEAK ONLY IN CHINESE.
PLEASE, MY FRIENDS,
THERE IS NO NEED FOR CONCERN.
I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG
AND THERE'S NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT, OK? OK.
MISS ARMSTRONG, WHAT ARE
WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?
OH, CLASS, JUST BECAUSE THE
POLICE WANT TO TALK TO HER
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE
GOING TO TAKE HER TO JAIL.
EXCUSE, PLEASE,
BUT IS JUST LIKE IN
CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
WHEN POLICE SAY,
"JUST WANT TO ASK
FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS,"
THAT MEANS YOU CAN KISS YOUR
SWEET PATOOSHKI GOOD-BYE.
THAT'S IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA, MILOS.
HERE YOU'RE INNOCENT
UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
BELIEVE ME, POLICE
ARE SAME EVERYWHERE.
EXCEPT IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA
WHERE THEY ARE THE WORST.
NO, THEY ARE NOT.
IN CUBA, ARE POLICE
ARE THE WORST.
AND OUR PRISONS ARE
THE MOST DISGUSTING.
IMPOSSIBLE. CZECHOSLOVAKIA PRISONS
ARE MORE DISGUSTING THAN ANYBODY'S.
OH, YEAH?
OUR PRISONS ARE SO DISGUSTING,
EVEN THE COCKROACHES
TRY TO ESCAPE.
IN OUR PRISONS, THE
COCKROACHES DON'T TRY TO ESCAPE.
THEY COMMIT SUICIDE.
THAT IS DISGUSTING. UH-HUH.
PLEASE, DO YOU HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT COCKROACHES?
LOOK, YOU TWO ARE TALKING
ABOUT TOTALITARIAN COUNTRIES.
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S LIKE HERE.
INNOCENT PEOPLE LIKE MING LI
AREN'T PUT IN JAIL.
MAY I ASK
HYPO-THEATRICAL QUESTION?
YOU MEAN
"HYPOTHETICAL" QUESTION.
ANYWAY, TAKE HYPOTHETICAL
PERSON LIKE MING LI.
SUPPOSE POLICE
TAKE HER TO PRISON
AND SHE CANNOT PROVE
THAT SHE IS INNOCENT.
BUT SUPPOSE THERE IS
HYPOTHETICAL WITNESS,
SOME MAN WHO
HAPPENED TO BE THERE
WHO SAW REAL THIEF STEAL DRUGS.
WHAT DRUGS?
YEAH, WHAT'S THIS ABOUT DRUGS?
DID I SAY DRUGS?
MISS ARMSTRONG, UH, I'M AFRAID
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
FINISH CLASS TONIGHT.
UNFORTUNATELY, I
HAVE VERY GOOD EXCUSE.
I'M BEING ARRESTED.
WHY ARE YOU ARRESTING HER?
WELL, SHE HAD THE ONLY KEY
TO THE HOSPITAL DISPENSARY
WHERE SOME DRUGS WERE STOLEN.
DRUGS?
MILOS, I'D LIKE TO ANSWER
THAT QUESTION YOU RAISED.
A HYPOTHETICAL
PERSON LIKE MING LI
WOULD INDEED GO FREE
IF THERE WAS A WITNESS
WHO ACTUALLY SAW THE THEFT
AND TOLD THE POLICE.
THAT WOULD BE THE
RIGHT THING TO DO.
THE HYPOTHETICAL WITNESS
SHOULD COME FORWARD.
ONLY IF HE'S A
HYPOTHETICAL DUMMY.
WRONG, RUDY.
TRUST ME, MILOS.
I WISH YOU ALL TO KNOW
I HAVE NEVER HAD
SUCH GOOD FRIENDS
AND SUCH WONDERFUL TEACHER.
GOOD-BYE.
Rudy: WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.
WAIT, PLEASE!
WOMAN IS INNOCENT.
OH, AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE I SAW CRIME.
I AM WITNESS.
YOU SAW?
OH, IN THAT CASE,
I THINK YOU HAD
BETTER COME DOWN TO THE
STATION HOUSE WITH US, TOO.
STATION?
FOR WHY?
WE JUST WANT TO ASK A
FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
"FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS"?
I AM KISSING MY SWEET
PATOOSHKI GOOD-BYE.
DON'T WORRY, MILOS.
I AM HERE IF YOU NEED ME.
AND IF YOU NEED
ME, I'LL BE IN JAIL.
GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, MISS. ARMSTRONG.
OH, I'M SORRY TO GET
YOU INTO THIS, MILOS.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MILOS.
THIS IS AMERICA.
TERRIFIC. I'LL PUT THAT ON
ALL THE LICENSE PLATES I MAKE.
TRUST YOU.
YOU COPS TOOK MY ROOMMATE AWAY
AND I WANT TO KNOW WHERE HE IS!
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE NEW YORK'S FINEST.
IF YOU'RE SO FINE,
HOW COME YOU CAN'T FIND
ONE CHUBBY CZECHOSLOVAKIAN?
WHAT?
OH, HE'S ABOUT MY SIZE,
BUT HE DON'T TALK SO GOOD AS ME.
OH, EXCUSE ME, I CAN'T
TALK TO YOU NO MORE.
I GOTTA GO TALK TO THE DOOR.
HI, RUDY.
OH, HELLO, MISS ARMSTRONG.
I WAS HOPING IT WAS MILOS.
WHY WOULD MILOS
RING HIS OWN DOORBELL?
DOESN'T HE HAVE A KEY?
WELL, YOU SEE, WE
GOT THIS SYSTEM...
IN CASE I GOT...
SOMETHING COOKING.
I THOUGHT MILOS WAS THE COOK.
OH...
YOU MEAN COOKING.
YOU'RE NOT COOKING NOW, ARE YOU?
OH, NO, IT'S BEEN A SLOW WEEK.
IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO HOURS
SINCE MILOS WENT OFF
TO THE POLICE STATION.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING?
NO, AND THANKS TO YOU,
WE MAY NEVER
HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN.
TRUST YOU, TRUST THE POLICE.
PLEASE, HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL?
I'VE ONLY BEEN
TEACHING TWO MONTHS.
THIS IS MY FIRST CLASS.
TWO OF MY STUDENTS ARE IN JAIL,
ONE BECAUSE HE LISTENED TO ME.
THAT IS RIGHT.
COULDN'T YOU AT LEAST
ARGUE WITH ME A LITTLE?
I AM SORRY, MISS ARMSTRONG.
IT'S JUST THAT I AM SO
WORRIED ABOUT MILOS!
HE IS SO EMOTIONAL.
HE CANNOT CONTROL
HIMSELF LIKE ME.
HE HAS NO SELF-CONTROL!
OH, RUDY, I GUESS YOU'RE UPSET.
OH, OH, OH!
RUDY, I...
SORRY, I DID NOT KNOW
YOU HAD LADY HERE.
THAT'S NOT LADY,
THAT'S OUR TEACHER.
MILOS, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU!
PLEASE, NO AFFECTION WHILE
INNOCENT WOMAN IS STILL IN JAIL.
YOU HEAR THAT?
MING LI IS STILL IN JAIL.
TELL US MORE ABOUT
YOUR WONDERFUL POLICE.
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.
THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME.
THEY SAID BECAUSE I AM FRIEND,
I COULD BE MAKING
UP A LULLABY FOR HER.
YOU MEAN "ALIBI."
THAT, TOO.
AND THEY TOLD ME I
CANNOT LEAVE TOWN.
THIS MEANS I AM STILL OFF HOOK.
ON THE HOOK.
ON THE HOOK, OFF THE HOOK,
ALIBI, LULLABY.
THE REAL TROUBLE
WITH THIS COUNTRY
IS NOBODY SPEAKS
CZECHOSLOVAKIAN!
PLEASE, CALM DOWN
AND TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.
WELL, THEY TAKE ME TO POLICE...
I SEE CUBAN WAS USING
SELF-CONTROL AGAIN.
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE POLICE STATION.
WELL, I... I... I TOLD THEM
EVERYTHING I KNEW.
AND BELIEVE ME,
THEY'RE NOT THROUGH WITH ME YET.
LOOK, MILOS, HERE,
IF YOU'RE INNOCENT,
YOU'LL GO FREE.
EVEN IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
YOU'LL GET A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
IF HE IS SO INNOCENT,
WHY DOES HE NEED A LAWYER?
GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WHAT I MEAN IS,
EVEN IF YOU'RE PUT IN JAIL,
YOU'LL EVENTUALLY GO FREE.
INNOCENT PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN IN JAIL
FOR 15 YEARS OR MORE AND...
WELL, MAYBE THAT'S
NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE.
SHE SCARES ME MORE THAN POLICE.
IS THIS WHY I COME
TO THIS COUNTRY?
I HOPED FOR BETTER LIFE.
DEMOCRACY. JUSTICE.
WHERE IS JUSTICE IF MING LI
IS STILL IN JAIL
AND POLICE TELL ME
I CANNOT LEAVE TOWN?
YOU HAVE TO STAY IN TOWN
BECAUSE YOU'RE A WITNESS.
SHE IS RIGHT, MILOS.
I HEAR THEM SAY THAT ON ALL
THE TELEVISION COP SHOWS.
THEY SAY THAT
BECAUSE I AM SUSPECT.
AND ONE NIGHT SOON,
I WILL HEAR BOOTS ON STAIRWAY,
KNOCK ON DOOR,
AND THEY SEND TO JAIL OR WORSE,
BACK TO CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
AND MY DREAM OF CITIZEN
IS BEING GONE FOREVER.
MILOS, I KEEP TELLING YOU
THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT IS.
SURE, SO OUR SYSTEM
MAY NOT BE PERFECT.
NOW SHE TELLS ME.
IT'S STILL THE BEST
SYSTEM THERE IS.
AND IT WORKS FOR MOST OF
THE PEOPLE MOST OF THE TIME.
AND I'LL TELL YOU
ONE MORE THING.
AMERICAN COCKROACHES
DON'T COMMIT SUICIDE.
WELL, YOU GOT A
PRETTY GOOD TEMPER.
YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT
CUBAN SOMEWHERE?
WHAT A MESS.
POOR MING LI IS IN JAIL AND...
I'M SORRY, MILOS.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO
GET YOU INTO THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH ME.
OH, PLEASE, NOT TO CRY.
I KNOW YOU MEANT WELL.
THANKS.
KEEP GOOD THOUGHTS, MILOS.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
TO THINK POSITIVELY.
I WISH I COULD.
IS VERY NICE LADY.
YEAH, SHE'S A GOOD FRIEND, TOO.
OH, YEAH, AND YOU ARE
GOOD FRIEND, TOO, RUDY.
NO, NO, IT IS LUCKY DAY
FOR ME WHEN I MEET YOU.
IT WAS LUCKIER DAY FOR ME
WHEN I MEET YOU IN
THAT SCHOOL CAFETERIA.
I WAS BROKE, BUT YOU
WERE TOTAL STRANGER.
YOU BOUGHT MY FOOD.
WELL, YOU LOOK LIKE
MAN I COULD TRUST.
OH, THANK YOU.
BY THE WAY, YOU
NEVER PAID ME BACK.
YOU'LL GET IT BACK NEXT
WEEK IF YOU'RE NOT IN JAIL.
THANK YOU... I THINK.
MILOS, AMIGO.
LISTEN TO ME.
DO NOT LET THE POLICE
DRIVE YOU CRAZY.
YOU'VE GOT TO THINK
OF SOMETHING ELSE.
RUDY, IT DOES NOT MATTER
WHAT I THINK IN HEAD,
BUT WHAT I FEEL IN HEART.
TOTAL FEAR.
NOW, CLASS, THE O-U-G-H IN
THIS WORD IS PRONOUNCED "OFF,"
AND THE O-U-G-H IN THIS WORD
IS PRONOUNCED "OH."
AND WHY IS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW WHY,
BUT THAT'S HOW IT IS.
YOU SEE,
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS VERY...
WELL, IT'S VERY...
I'M SORRY, CLASS.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
MISS ARMSTRONG?
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
I JUST CAN'T CONCENTRATE.
MY MIND IS ON MING LI AND MILOS,
AND NOW RUDY'S NOT HERE.
HE MUST STOP BLAMING YOURSELF.
MISS ARMSTRONG,
YOU MUST REMEMBER
THAT YOU ARE A VERY
INEXPERIENCED LADY.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT
THAT YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THANK YOU, KWAME. I NEEDED THAT.
MISS ARMSTRONG,
DO YOU THINK THEY
WILL RELEASE MING LI?
WELL, I'M NOT SURE,
BUT SHE'S GETTING
A PUBLIC DEFENDER,
AND I KNOW SHE'LL
BE PROVEN INNOCENT.
AND MEANWHILE, SHE
HAS A COMFORTABLE CELL
THAT SHE SHARES WITH
OF VERY NICE HOOKER.
WHAT IS A HOOKER?
OH, THAT COMES
LATER IN THE COURSE.
OH, RUDY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
AND WHERE'S MILOS?
I GOT A HUNCH HE LEFT TOWN.
WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?
ALL HIS CLOTHES ARE GONE,
ALL HIS COOKING
UTENSILS ARE GONE,
AND AND HE LEFT ME A NOTE SAYING
HE WAS LEAVING TOWN.
OH, NO!
GOOD EVENING, MILOS IS BACK.
MILOS, AMIGO, I WAS JUST
TELLING THEM ABOUT YOUR NOTE.
PLEASE DISREGARD...
WAS WRITTEN BY COWARD.
I SNEAK AWAY IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT.
FIRST, I TAKE SUBWAY.
THEN I GET OFF, I TAKE BUS.
THEN I TAKE OTHER SUBWAY,
THEN I TAKE OTHER BUS.
THEN I REALIZE HORRIBLE THING.
I'M IN BRONX.
THEN I REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAY,
MISS ARMSTRONG,
AND I SAY TO MYSELF,
"MILOS, IS WRONG
FOR YOU TO RUN AWAY.
FOO ON YOU."
MUST TRUST SYSTEM.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
OH, I'M SO GLAD, MILOS.
MING LI IS INNOCENT
AND I WILL KEEP
YELLING ON POLICE
UNTIL THEY FREE HER.
AND IF THEY WANT
COME FOR ME AGAIN,
SO LET THEM COME.
EXCUSE ME.
BUT WHY SO SOON?
WAIT A MINUTE.
HOLD IT. HOLD IT!
PLEASE, GIVE OFFICER
A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
All: MING LI!
LOOK, MR. DUBROVSKI,
YOU HUNG IN WITH YOUR STORY,
SO WE CHECKED
OUT THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE FELLOW YOU SAID
YOU SAW STEAL THE DRUGS.
AND HE FIT AN M.O.
M.O.? WHAT IS MO?
IT MEANS "METHOD OF OPERATION."
WHAT I REALLY WANTED
TO TELL YOU WAS
THAT THERE'S A GUY OUT THERE
RUNNING AROUND PULLING
THESE KIND OF JOBS.
AND WE'RE GONNA GET HIM.
BUT WE HAVEN'T YET.
THE POINT IS,
I BUSTED YOUR FRIEND MING LI
HERE IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU,
AND I JUST THOUGHT I
SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO HER
IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU.
I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THE COOPERATION
YOU GAVE US DOWN AT
THE STATION, MISS CHANG.
YOU ARE WELCOME.
AND, UH, IF I NEVER
SEE YOU AGAIN,
IT WILL BE MY PLEASURE.
HALT, PLEASE, MR. DETECTIVE.
IS ONE MORE THING,
MISS ARMSTRONG,
SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT
I WOULD LIVE TO SEE MYSELF DO.
KISS A COP!
GOT ONE MORE.
WELL, CLASS, THAT WAS
QUITE AN EXPERIENCE.
WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM THIS?
I KNOW!
NEVER HAVE DINNER WITH MING LI.
I DID IT!
HEY, WHERE IS
EVERYBODY? I'M HOME!
WHAT? GUESS WHAT?! GUESS WHAT?!
ARNOLD, WHAT'S
ALL THE EXCITEMENT?
WHAT HAPPENED?
ISN'T ANYBODY GONNA
ASK ME WHAT GRADE I GOT
ON MY HISTORY TEST TODAY?
NO.
WAIT A MINUTE.
JUST KIDDING. JUST KIDDING.
YEAH, OF COURSE WE
WANT HERE, ARNOLD.
I HOPE IT IS A BETTER GRADE
THAN THE "D" YOU
GOT ON THE LAST ONE.
IT IS SO MUCH BETTER, YOU'LL
WANT TO GIVE ME A REWARD.
WHAT'S THE GRADE?
WHAT'S THE REWARD?
THE REWARD IS IS THAT
DAD WON'T GROUND YOU
FOR THE "D" YOU GOT.
WOULD YOU QUIT STALLING?
WHAT GRADE DID YOU GET?
I GOT AN "A!"
YAY! ALL RIGHT.
HEY, YOU GOT A 99!
I ONLY MISSED ONE QUESTION.
IT WAS ABOUT JOHN
ALDEN AND MYLES STANDISH.
I HAD PRISCILLA MAKING
OUT WITH THE WRONG DUDE.
GOOD EVENING.
REMEMBER ME? MAN
FROM STUPID CAKE?
YES, COME IN, COME IN, COME IN.
Kimberly: HI. Arnold: HI.
WHAT BRINGS YOU
BACK, MR. DUBROVSKI?
I RETURN TO MAKE UP
FOR MISTAKE WITH CAKE
FOR FRIEND FRANK. I BRING GIFT.
OH, THAT WASN'T
NECESSARY, BUT THANK YOU.
OH, INCIDENTALLY, SMALL PERSON
GOT AN "A" ON HIS HISTORY TEST.
OH, GOOD.
SO DID I.
YOU LIKE?
Philip: OH.
Willis: OH, IT'S TERRIFIC.
Kimberly: WOW. IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN FLAG.
YEAH, GREAT.
WOW.
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH.
I'M AFRAID YOU'VE GOT 51 STARS.
AYE, YACHNIK!
IS ONE TOO MANY.
NOT ANY MORE.
