Rushmore (1998) Edit

A 37.

A first class aquarium... where the scientists can lecture...

A fucking lie.

A little brisk.

A trip to the museum or something?

A very good evening to you, Fischers. Hi.

About your mom giving me a hand job.

After all, the son of a brain doctor doesn't need to impress anybody now, does he?

All right, then he kisses her and we're out. Okay.

All right.

Although, I wouldn't know because I never screwed her.

And all that crap about, "I don't think she's that great.

And And bring a head shot, please.

And C: Well, he smashed up your bicycle,

And how long have you been a smoker, if you don't mind me asking?

And I didn't catch this young gentleman's name.

And I gave her my phone number.

And I should mind my own business.

And I wanted to make a dedication.

And I'm in love with you.

And I'm really looking forward to making the best of it here at Grover Cleveland.

And imagination in one fingernail...

And my dinner, which was invitation only.

And my mother read it and felt I should go to Rushmore.

And please apologize to what's his name for me.

And putting on plays.

And take them down.

And that's all you're prepared to spend?

And the students can observe the marine life in its natural habitat.

And then do it for the rest of your life.

And then I knew for sure when they went skinny dipping in Mr. Blume's swimming pool,

And they're canceling Latin.

And this is your first year at Rushmore, I take it.

And to Edward Appleby, a friend of a friend.

And what does that entail?

And you could wear that one, and I could wear the other.

And you read it, and you gave me a scholarship, didn't you?

And you're supposed to be his friend.

And, um...

And... could you make the order out to...

Are you his messenger?

Attraction doesn't enter into it.

Because at this moment, I feel the best strategy is to keep it low profile.

Because you're such a good friend.

Big show. No results.

Black hair, glasses, oval face.

Blume's got a bit more spark and vitality than you expected, doesn't he?

Bravo Company, this is Tango 7. Do you copy?

But a lot of people make that mistake.

But don't worry. Come on, Herman.

But he seems to enjoy it.

But here's my advice to the rest of you:

But I always thought you'd try another line of work.

But I couldn't get it done over at Rushmore.

But I guess I'll go now.

But I just got hit by a car, and I'm a little confused right now.

But I send my kids here because, the fact is,

But I still might have to expel you.

But I'm no elitist.

But I've been out to sea for a long time.

But I've got an idea, and I need some money.

But it got blown off a long time ago.

But let's hope it's got a happy ending.

But moving on: They're gonna cancel Latin.

But probably a double major in mathematics and premed.

But she's one of the best teachers you've got. How could you let her go?

But they can't buy backbone.

But, fuck it, I'm building it anyway.

But, the fact is, no matter how hard I try,

By the way, what time does the library close?

C'est la vie.

Can we get a check, please?

Can you do an Australian accent?

Can't do it, Max.

Certainly.

Chapter 15. The Lad with the Silver Button. "

Come here.

Come on, Dirk.

Come on, you two. Shake a leg.

Could I please see a list of all the people...

Could I see some documentation on that, please?

Could I see you without your glasses on, please?

Couldn't we just let me float by?

Cut the music and no more pictures.

Dear Max, I am sorry to say that I have secretly found out...

Dear Miss Cross,

Did I ever dream I would have sons like these.

Did Max send you an invitation?

Did you hear they're teaching Japanese next year?

Did you invite that kid to your party?

Did you say my mom gave you a hand job?

Did you see her?

Did you turn in your paper on the Berlin Airlift?

Dirk, this is Margaret Yang.

Dirk?

Dirk's a great kid, and I'm just trying to impart...

Do you have a telephone pass?

Do you remember how I got into this school?

Do you think he recognized me?

Do you think she's in love with you?

Do you think we can be friends again, Miss Cross?

Do you think we're gonna have sex?

Do you think you can make a go of it and settle down at Grover Cleveland?

Do you think you want to keep it for a while? Mm hmm.

Do you want a carrot?

Do you want to come?

Do you want to take over for a while?

Don't fuck with my play!

Don't get nasty, brother.

Don't let them forget that.

Don't worry, Mr. Blume. It's a relatively painless procedure.

Dr. Guggenheim had a stroke.

Dr. Guggenheim, I don't want to tell you how to do your job,

Dr. Guggenheim, I'd rather not have this conversation in front of my crew.

Edward Appleby.

Effects!

Either Ronny or Donny.

Eloise Fischer,

En garde!

Excellent. That was excellent.

Except you.

Excuse me, gentlemen. Hey, lay off the chips, Buchan.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Are you Mrs. Whitney, the English teacher?

Fifteen.

Fighting Owls, let's go!

Find your own dance partner, Mr. Blume. I'm spoken for.

Fischer ain't your mate.

Fischer! Fischer! Fischer! Fischer! Fischer!

Fondly, Dirk Calloway.

For old time's sake?

For the events of the night of the 23rd.

Frank, you enter stage right with a bag of cocaine.

Fresh are you, sporty, me fuckup.

Get in the back, Donny.

Get them in the crosshairs...

Get to the point.

Getting hand jobs from the woman you love. "

Giving each other hand jobs while you were taking a nap on the front porch.

Go, go, go.

God.

Goddamn it. He's supposed to be here.

Going skinny dipping while I took a nap.

Good.

Good.

Good. Except when the value of the "X" coordinate...

Got any good hand jobs lately?

Hammerheads, piranhas, giant squid, octopi...

Has it ever crossed your mind that you're far too young for me?

Have a seat.

He drowned.

He founded that club.

He hates himself.

He says she gave him a hand job in the backseat of her bloody Jaguar.

He sent you?

He thinks you dumped him because of Edward Appleby.

He thinks your mom's good for a bonk.

He's a barber. This is my friend, Rosemary Cross.

He's a neurosurgeon... at, uh, St. Joseph's Hospital.

He's from Scotland.

He's not in.

He's one of the worst students we've got.

Hello, Dirk.

Hello, Esposito.

Hello, Herman.

Hello, I'm Max Fischer.

Hello, Margaret. May I cut in?

Hello, Mr. Blume.

Here, let's see if the deejay can play something with a little more... Reuben!

Herman.

Hey, amigo.

Hey, Dirk! Look who's here.

Hey, Fischer.

Hey, I'm letting it go, but don't say it doesn't matter.

Hey, Magnus.

Hey, Max, how's it going?

Hey, Mr. Blume. Hey, it's Max Fischer.

Hey, old timer. It's, uh, Max Fischer.

Hey, you need an assistant?

Hi, Herman.

Hi, I'm Margaret Yang. I'm in Mrs. Whitney's class.

Hi, Max.

Hi. I was wondering if Max was home.

His name's Max Fischer, and he's actually asked...

Hmm, doesn't look good.

Hmm, pretty good.

Hmm? What did you say?

Hmm.

Hold still for a moment, okay?

Hold this one too, okay?

How did I hurt your feelings?

How did your mother die?

How is she?

How long you been in country, soldier?

How much extra credit is it worth?

How was she, Herman?

How would you describe it to your friends?

How you doin'? Good to see you again.

How?

How's that?

I ain't even here, Sergeant.

I always thought that's why you picked Dirk as your chapel partner.

I always wanted to be in one of your fucking plays.

I can see that. Why don't you sit down, and we'll have a look.

I can write a hit play. Why can't I have a little drink to unwind myself?

I can't wear a wire. They're feeling me up every day.

I didn't have a major, but my thesis was on Latin American economic policy.

I do?

I don't give a rat's ass what he says.

I don't give a shit about the barracudas,

I don't know but I've been told

I don't know but I've been told

I don't know, Bert.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Jesus. They came at me out of nowhere.

I don't know. What's the point?

I don't think I should see Max anymore.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone asking to give a speech in class before.

I don't think she's right for you, Max. "

I don't usually do this, but this play means a lot to me,

I don't want alloys. I want steel.

I don'tthink she's right for you.

I doubt it. I don't really follow the news anymore.

I got kicked out because of you.

I gotta go into class in here. I'll see you later, Mrs. Chang.

I gotta hand it to you, Magnus.

I gotta tell ya, I don't know what you see in her.

I guess if anyone here can solve that problem,

I guess she got sick.

I guess we both have dead people in our families.

I have a tuna and peanut butter and jelly.

I hope you will attend, if possible.

I just came by to thank you for wrecking my life.

I just didn't expect to see you here.

I just got home, and I'm having a little snack.

I just put that up as a joke. That's probably...

I just think you're right for the part.

I just want to make sure...

I just want to thank you for accommodating us.

I just wanted to inform you about what's going on.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

I just wanted to say that I strongly agree with your views concerning Rushmore.

I know about you and the teacher.

I know you did, mate.

I know you probably think I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth,

I know, Max.

I like your hat.

I loved it when you grabbed onto the bottom of the chopper as it was taking off.

I mean, I thought you dumped me for Blume.

I mean, she has something that you can't put your finger on, but...

I mean, she's not that beautiful.

I might want to take a dip after I have dinner and hit the bar.

I miss the seasons.

I need a signature on this geometry test, by the way.

I never had it like this where I grew up.

I never took you for an informer, Max.

I notice you don't have a fencing team.

I notice you don't have a fencing team.

I paid $8 million for this.

I paid for the whole damn natatorium.

I really feel like celebrating, you know?

I really think you're right about Rushmore.

I really wouldn't know.

I remain your friend, Max Fischer.

I saved Latin.

I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.

I still might flunk another class.

I think I can safely say I've never met anyone like you either.

I think I let him get too attached.

I think I'm gonna stick a knife in his heart,

I think you just gotta find something you love to do,

I think you've got some great facilities,

I thought I'd just let you know as per our conversation, the other day...

I thought it was a very realistic performance.

I thought it would, but it didn't.

I thought the aquarium was your idea.

I thought you could choose which one you like more...

I tried to get Latin canceled for five years.

I understand you made a very convincing argument.

I understand.

I want you to meet a friend of mine. Peter Flynn, Max Fischer.

I want you to meet someone.

I was just telling Mr. Calloway the other day how fortunate we are...

I was married to him.

I will. You okay?

I would like to take this opportunity to formally apologize...

I wrote a hit play and directed it.

I, uh, actually wrote a different version of the play two years ago,

I, uh, heard about your science project on Action 13.

I, uh... I didn't know you were married.

I'd also like everyone to meet Mr. and Mrs. Yang. This is Margaret.

I'd have shot you in the other ear,

I'd love to, except I've already got a previous obligation to attend to.

I'd see to it that none of you ever have to open another math book again...

I'll catch up with you later, Dad. I got a dinner to go to.

I'll expect your gun and your badge on my desk...

I'll give you 2,500.

I'll just get a sweater. I'll be back in a minute.

I'll just go back out the window.

I'll see you at 3:15.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I'll take Punctuality.

I'm a barber's son.

I'm a former student of Rushmore Academy,

I'm an alternate.

I'm glad we had this conversation.

I'm gonna kill you.

I'm gonna pop a cap in his ass.

I'm in charge of the committee, if you can believe it.

I'm in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

I'm in love with her.

I'm Max Fischer.

I'm Max Fischer.

I'm not accustomed to drinking alcohol.

I'm not quite sure how that rumor got started.

I'm not trying to pressure you into anything, Miss Cross.

I'm okay. Go, go, go, go.

I'm sorry I didn't take your hand when Buchan kicked your ass.

I'm sorry I embarrassed you at dinner.

I'm sorry I love your friend instead of you, but...

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry, did someone say my name?

I'm sorry, Margaret.

I'm sorry. Can I use your phone?

I'm talking on the telephone.

I'm trying to win her back!

I'm very impressed.

I'm working on something that's set in the outback.

I'm, uh, sorry you couldn't make it to our little groundbreaking the other day.

I'm, uh... I'm sorry about what I said...

I've got an overdue book to turn in.

I've got one last piece of unfinished business to attend to.

If that means I have to stay on for a postgraduate year, then so be it, but...

If you say so.

If, and only if, both sides of the numerator...

In other words, I'll be expelled.

In summation, I have only one question:

Including my mentor, Dr. Leaky at M.I.T.,

Indefinitely.

Is divisible by the inverse of the square root...

Is it okay if I leave early? Over.

Is it true the aquarium will have piranhas?

Is Latin dead?

Is that for me?

Is this fake blood?

It could have been worse.

It crossed my mind that you might consider that a possibility. Yeah.

It doesn't matter.

It entails that if you fail another class,

It was so nice to see you again.

It was the hand job. You want to know something else?

It was worth it.

It would have flattened me like a pancake.

It would just help me if you talked to me for a minute.

It'll happen, Max. It's just...

It's been nice having your company here at the shop, Max.

It's clearly a safety hazard.

It's good.

It's kind of a shame, since he's building it for you.

It's not my forte, unfortunately.

It's on the roof, sir.

It's so good to see you.

It's time, homey.

It's too late.

It's too late.

It's your stepfather, waiting for your mom so that he can get a piece.

Janet, Max Fischer. Is he in?

Janet, Max Fischer. Is Mr. Blume there?

Jesus Christ.

Joe, go put a dime in the meter for Officer Serpico.

Just bring up the grades.

Just remember: They can buy anything,

Just tell that deformed Scottish gorilla to shut his fat face.

Kids don't like it when their parents get divorced.

Kiss me, Little Juan.

Last year.

Let me look at that. Turn it, turn it.

Let me show you the door.

Let's go.

Let's put Margaret down for 3:30 in the auditorium, Woody.

Let's see.

Let's wait a few minutes.

Like everything you do.

Little Calloway.

Look at that.

Look, Dirk, I am his friend.

Look, I made a mistake, all right? It didn't make any difference anyway.

Look, I may not be rich, Mr. Blume.

Look, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

Looks like Max pulled a fast one on us.

Make sure these don't get wet.

Margaret Yang. Woody Jackson. Shoeshine Pickens.

Max wants to talk to you.

Max, I like being a barber. I'm good at it.

Max, you want to take it away?

Max, you're 15 years old.

Max!

Max?

Max?

Max? Care to try it?

Max.

Max. Max.

May I see the back, please?

Maybe I'm spending too much of my time starting up clubs...

Maybe we'll meet again someday...

Maybe we'll throw in a shave as well.

Maybe you ought to go visit him.

Me neither.

Merry Christmas.

Milk or apple juice?

Miss Cross, I'd like for you to meet my father, Bert Fischer.

Miss Cross?

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mmm, I'm a little bit lonely these days.

Mr. Blume, how are Ronny and Donny enjoying military school?

Mr. Blume, I'd like you to meet Miss Cross...

Mr. Blume, this is my father, Bert Fischer.

My father may only be a doctor, but we manage.

My first suspicions came when I saw them Frenching in front of her house,

My husband gave me this book...

My husband went here.

My mother's dead.

My safety's Harvard.

My safety's Harvard.

My top schools where I want to apply to are Oxford and the Sorbonne.

Nelson?

Never in my wildest imagination...

Never mind. I know who said it.

Nice house.

Nice landing.

Nice to meet you, Dirk.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Fischer.

Nihilo sanctum estne?

No, a kid got his finger blown off during rehearsals.

No, he can hear you.

No, I didn't get hurt that bad.

No, I don't think so. I think he's rehearsing tonight.

No, I doubt it.

No, I just want to make sure that we understand each other.

No, I'm his friend.

No, I'm not. I'm just trying to figure out why you brought this gentleman to my play...

No, it's okay. He's my friend.

No, not anymore.

No? How unfortunate.

No. No, I know, but...

Not enough studying.

Not if you've ever fucked before, it isn't.

Nothing.

Now Mr. Fischer was my father's name. Call me Bert, please.

Now, for some of you,

Of course you know Mr. Blume.

Of the line... where I got to be.

Of the two unassigned variables.

Oh, and, Willie,

Oh, boy, I gotta call the hospital.

Oh, Central America and whatnot. Hmm.

Oh, come on, Frank. You'll have complete protection.

Oh, come on.

Oh, come on.

Oh, don't be silly.

Oh, here, let me see.

Oh, I don't know what to do anymore.

Oh, Mr. Blume, this is my chapel partner, Dirk Calloway.

Oh, my God! I wrote a hit play!

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, no, no. I got this one.

Oh, no. The old man's on call.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, that? Don't worry about that.

Oh, that's interesting. Did you hear they're not going to teach Latin here anymore?

Oh, that's right. He's doing his new play.

Oh, that's right. The twins' birthday party.

Oh, these are glorious. I'll put them in some water.

Oh, yeah. I, uh, was gonna try and have that tree over there fall on you.

Oh, you did?

Okay, are you fond of that mustache?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

On the planet I come from...

One dead fingernail.

One dead fingernail.

One footnote.

One more thing. We have a new student with us today.

Or maybe I could give you a hand job. Would that put an end to all of this?

Or need help with Dirk or anything like that.

Personally, I could never see myself cutting open somebody's brain,

Picking a kid like Dirk because his mother's a great piece, and then getting nowhere.

Pipe dreams, Dad.

Piranhas? Really?

Please do me the service of coming to the unveiling of a new venture I've undertaken.

Please get out of my classroom.

Please return my call on my voice mail: Grover Cleveland High School, extension 23.

Please, Max...

Possible candidates for Kite Flying Society.

Put that a little bit there.

Quite apart from the fact that you're a student...

Ready Demolition, Tucson, Arizona?

Requesting additional units at Grover Cleveland High School.

Right now.

Right on, brother.

Right.

Rosemary. What's yours?

Say a prayer for Surf Boy, wherever he is.

Say, can you tell me where the pool is located?

Say, how did you decide to teach at Rushmore?

Second grade. A little one act about Watergate.

See ya later. Bye. Hope you feel better.

See you at dinner.

See you next time.

See you next time.

See you Sunday, Mr. Blume.

Semper fi, soldier. Semper fi.

Sharp little guy.

She died when I was seven.

She got cancer.

She left?

She loves you.

She resigned this morning before I even got your little snapshots.

She's in love with a dead guy anyway.

She's my Rushmore, Max.

She's not coming, is she?

She's not that intriguing.

She's sweet, but she's fucked up.

Should I say hello to Dr. Guggenheim or can he not hear me?

Should we talk over here?

Showboat. Always talkin'.

Sic transit gloria.

Sic transit gloria. Glory fades.

So am I.

So help me God.

So I get to do odd jobs and...

So I'm not sweating it either.

So I'm not, actually.

So what's wrong with that?

So when he died, I gave it to the library here.

So you can take that for whatever it's worth.

So you can take that for whatever it's worth.

So you received the package?

So your latest attempt at sabotage backfired.

So, did you hear the news?

So, tell me, curly, how do you know Miss Cross?

So, this is where it all happens.

So, what do you think of Max's latest opus?

So, who gave you the shiner?

So, why did you dump Blume?

Some of the experiences I've accrued to help him.

Sorry I'm late.

Sorry it's not something more exotic.

Steel, Harry.

Stop!

Sure, Charlie.

Sure, you didn't. And next you're gonna tell me...

Sure.

Sure. Thanks very much.

Tag 'em and bag 'em, cherries! We're movin' out!

Take care, pal.

Take dead aim on the rich boys.

Take dictation, please.

Take it easy, Max.

Tell him I'm sorry.

Tell me this isn't happening.

Tell me what happened.

Than Herman Blume has in his entire body.

Thank you for meeting me.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

That Edward has more spark and character...

That I've never met anyone like you.

That I've never met anyone like you.

That is your handwriting, isn't it?

That Mr. Blume is having an affair with Miss Cross.

That was all bullshit, wasn't it?

That was great. That was great.

That you're gonna follow this thing all the way to the end...

That's a coincidence.

That's a kind of cheap way to put it.

That's a shame because all the Romance languages were based on Latin.

That's a... a jellyfish.

That's all I meant by "relationship".

That's because you weren't invited.

That's correct.

That's enough.

That's funny. I didn't notice.

That's my best friend's mother he's talking about.

That's my son. That's my Maxie.

That's okay.

That's possible.

That's rude.

That's the first thing he's said in ten days.

That's the Perfect Attendance Award and the Punctuality Award.

That's the rumor.

That's what I thought.

The killing's gotta stop, esse. It's getting too loco.

The more preparation work I can do, the stronger our case will be...

The secret. I don't know. Uh...

The silver spoon remark might rub some people the wrong way,

The sun only comes out once a year.

The weather's nice, isn't it?

The... the truth is, neither one of us has the slightest idea...

Then I hear...

Then I'm gonna send him back to Ireland in a body bag.

These are O.R. scrubs.

These were just born.

They've got to make room for Japanese.

Thirty five thousand dollars, for the initial plans.

This has my number on it if you need to call me...

This is a different kind of war.

This is gonna be exciting. My son Max wrote it.

This is Max Fischer. I have some information regarding your husband.

This is my baseball diamond.

This is my first time in a public school.

This was more like Central America.

To say a few words to the class.

Too many extracurricular activities, Max.

Try and pull some strings with the administration, I guess.

Turn that damn thing off!

Uh huh.

Uh, I didn't want to disrupt class.

Uh... did Max have something planned for us today?

Um, A: He's married.

Um, Irving... could you get some root beers for anybody who wants one?

Um... you were in the neighborhood?

Um... your speech was excellent.

Underneath your seats.

W When?

Wait a minute!

Wait. Please.

Want to shake hands?

War does funny things to men.

Was she good? I bet she was.

Was that Latin?

Watching the leaves change.

We don't offer a postgraduate year.

We got him, Dirk. We got him.

We never went skinny dipping.

We order the military forces of the United States to take action...

We'll see. I got a proposition for you.

Well, anyway, nice to see you.

Well, he's dead now.

Well, he's not gonna like the sound of that.

Well, I didn't know we were going to dinner.

Well, I gave it to my friend.

Well, I guarantee you she's not, and she never will be.

Well, I guess they finally heard you.

Well, I just want to say I'm sorry I threw rocks at you that day.

Well, I mean, you live in his room, with all his stuff. It's kind of...

Well, I think you did your best.

Well, I was in love with her first.

Well, I'll probably be seeing you soon.

Well, I'm gonna try my hardest to start one up for you guys.

Well, it was better in rehearsals.

Well, let's see now. How old are you?

Well, tell that stupid Mick he just made my list of things to do today.

Well, thank you very much.

Well, thank you very much. Hello, Dirk.

Well, thanks.

Well, they're totally inappropriate for the occasion.

Well, well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in.

Well, where is he?

Well, whichever one it was really clocked you.

Well, you can stick it up your mother's ass, you little prick.

Well, you know, I never asked anyone to build me an aquarium.

Well, you seem to have it pretty figured out.

Well, you'll have to forgive me if I don't take your word for that.

Well... I haven't decided for sure,

Well... we don't offer it yet.

Well... you pulled it off.

Were you in the shit?

What are you talking about, Buchan?

What are you, a lawyer?

What can I do for you, Mr. Blume?

What did you ever do?

What do you call getting a hand job from Mrs. Calloway in the back of her Jaguar?

What do you really think is gonna happen between us?

What do you think?

What do you want to study?

What do you want?

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

What happened?

What in the hell's that?

What is your first name?

What Rushmore needs is an aquarium...

What was your major?

What, are you crazy?

What?

What?

What's all that shite?

What's going on in here?

What's that supposed to mean?

What's that you're painting?

What's that?

What's that? Oh, it's Latin, isn't it?

What's the secret, Max?

What's this all about?

What's this?

What's your dad do, Max?

What's your name again?

What's, uh... What's that you got there, a little flight plan or something?

When did he die?

When he came to visit England when I was 13 and he went to Rushmore.

When the fighting stops.

Where are those damn chain saws coming from?

Where did you hear that?

Where this relationship is going.

Which I recently got expelled from.

Who told you that goddamn lie?

Who've checked out this book in the past year?

Whoa! What are you doing? What are you doing?

Whoa. Neat.

Why am I telling you this now?

Why don't you just piss off, Fischer, you dotty skid mark?

Why?

Will you marry me, Le Chahn?

Would you like a sandwich?

Would you say that you'd fingered me?

Yeah, and he told me to wear a tie.

Yeah, but I need a tutor.

Yeah, he's doing very well, isn't he?

Yeah, he's really making a go of it over there at Grover Cleveland.

Yeah, I got an extension.

Yeah, I know. She was mine too.

Yeah, I think he would have, if he'd had the money.

Yeah, I was in the shit.

Yeah, I'll have one of those.

Yeah, I'm fine, but I miss Rushmore.

Yeah, I've heard that one before.

Yeah, it went okay. At least nobody got hurt.

Yeah, they are, aren't they?

Yeah?

Yeah? Fischer stepped over half my bloody lines.

Yeah.

Yeah. I was president of them.

Yeah. Thanks for the invitation, though.

Yeah. Um, it isn't mine. I'm just sort of house sitting.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it's true, but piranhas are a very tricky species.

Yes, please.

Yes, that's true.

Yo, shorty.

You almost got the "A".

You better beat it, sonny.

You better believe it.

You didn't just walk out of her house at 2:00 in the morning.

You go to one of the best schools in the country:

You got it.

You guys have it real easy.

You haven't, have you?

You hurt my feelings! This night was important to me!

You know, Fischer, I've been watching you.

You know, uh...

You know, you and Herman deserve each other.

You know...

You probably can't hear me because...

You put any more thought...

You remind me of him, you know?

You said you wanted to meet?

You said you wanted to put an end to all this.

You see, we only thought we were going to be three,

You should quit.

You talked about being a senator or a diplomat.

You think Edward Appleby would have built one for you?

You think I got kicked out for just the aquarium? Nah.

You want me to grab a dictionary?

You want to be in a play?

You were born rich, and you're going to stay rich.

You were incredible tonight, Margaret.

You were right. I should not have allowed him to drink.

You were wrong about Enrique Sanchez.

You'll be asked to leave Rushmore.

You're a married man, Blume,

You're a real jerk to me, you know that?

You're a teacher here, aren't you?

You're a teacher here, aren't you?

You're being rude, Max.

You're both little children.

You're like one of those clipper ship captains.

You're looking good, Bert.

You're married to the sea.

You're not attracted to me.

You're on the team?

You're right.

You're standing up for the wrong guy.

You're supposed to say, "Forget about it, Sanchez. The old man likes his cannolis".

You're welcome.

You've got a way with words.

Your husband's...

"M" is... Wait. Why?

"The secret"? Yeah.

I don't know. What do you think, Ernie? An aquarium?

I got punched in the face. Oh, boy.

I gotta go get a teacher fired. I don't think that's wise, Max.

I gotta put a dime in the meter. Sit down, Frank.

I have guitar lessons. Classical guitar or... In what school?

I just got hit by a car. Oh, my God. Are you okay?

I just wanted to tell you that I liked your speech. Thank you.

I know you were. Although, I will say...

I never dumped you because we were never going out.

I really liked your play. It was really cool.

I thought I might get a haircut. We're closed.

I thought you had a math test today. No.

I understand you're a neurosurgeon. No, I'm a barber.

I'd rather die. Pull your head out of your ass.

They love it. Lucky bastards.

They said the Navy wants to buy it from you. That's...

They want to kick me out. Oh, no, not again.

Wait. This could be it. There's action across the street.

We can't predict the future. We don't have a relationship, Max.

We shook hands. Big deal.

We've become friends, haven't we? Yes.

Well, how was the slap? It was good.

Well, I gave a little speech. I heard about this.

Well, last year, he tried to raise piranhas.

Well, the plans were never formally submitted to the city.

Well, what sort of person does something like that?

Well... You know what?

What are you gonna do? The only thing I can do:

What did you think, Mr. Littlejeans? Best play ever, man.

What do you mean? I faked all the results.

What do you mean? I mean, I could use someone like you.

What do you think you're doing? Getting the check.

What for? To apologize, I think.

What happened to the cannoli line? Max...

What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you?

What the hell do you think you're doing? We're having a fund raiser for the...

What time is it, Alan? 1:15.

What? Did you say it?

What'd Guggenheim say? Nothing. I felt I should go to you first.

What's going on here, Maxie? Oh, hey, Coach Beck. Good to see you.

What's his name again? Max Fischer.

What's your excuse? Hey, author.

Where are you going? Rushmore.

Who sold you that crock? He told me himself.

Why are you trying to get her fired? You stupid old fool!

Why not? Because it was a fake.

Why not? I haven't seen her in six weeks.

Why? Because it didn't work.

Would you care to dance? Oh, yes, I would love to.

Would you like me to pass you the creamer, Doc?

Would you like to dance? Yeah, but...

Yeah, it's him. It's Snowman.

Yeah. What happened to your nose?

Yes, I'm talking to a guy in South America.

Yes, Isaac? What about that problem?

Yes. Hi, I'm William Yang, Margaret Yang's father.

Yes. You wrote a play. That's right.

You fucking cocksucker... Hey, break it up. Break it up.

You honestly believe you love Blume instead of me?

You know she's not sick. Give me the phone.

You were the one that ordered him a whiskey and soda.

...about you're gonna get rid of your gun?

...chapter seven.

...the hardest geometry equation in the world.

'Cause we're gonna need all of it.

"Almost got the 'A"'? Dad, what are you writing?

"and I believe they both get paid in the end.

"Are you comfortable, Max? I'll just, uh, be out back, nude,

"I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both;

"Is nothing sacred?"

"It's a dead language," I'd always say.

"O.R." they?

"What's that supposed to mean?"
