:10:00
such an expensive present,
and I'm inclined to agree with him.
:10:02
Oh, that's all right. I want him to have it.
:10:05
Why, Harvey?
:10:06
Well, it's...
:10:07
We don't need it. We've got lots of them.
:10:09
Harvey, you know
that's a silly answer, old man.
:10:12
- Well, it was an act of friendship.
- You mean a bribe, don't you?
:10:15
- What's a bribe?
- A bribe's a dishonest gift.
:10:17
A person who accepts it knows that
he must do something dishonest in return.
:10:20
Be honest, Harvey.
:10:22
All I wanted was to belong
to the Buffaloes.
:10:24
Look, people give presents after
someone's been nice to them, don't they?
:10:27
So what's dishonest with giving presents
before someone's nice to you?
:10:30
Harvey, why do you think
you don't belong to the Buffaloes?
:10:33
'Cause Charles don't want me in.
:10:34
It isn't Charles that kept you out.
I kept you out.
:10:36
What? You said you were a friend of mine.
:10:38
I am, but sometimes
we have to do things for friends...
:10:41
that we don't particularly like to do.
:10:43
Harvey...
:10:44
do you remember me saying it hadn't
been wise for you to tell the boys...
:10:47
that you ought to be a member simply
because your father was so important?
:10:50
Yes.
:10:51
And I said the way to get in
was for you to be important...
:10:53
to stand on your own feet...
:10:54
not depend on your father
for everything you want.
:10:56
My father gives me everything I want.
:10:57
Did you talk this over
with your father, Harvey?
:10:59
No. He's got more important things to do.
:11:01
He's anxious for your happiness, isn't he?
:11:03
Sure.
:11:04
- I'm perfectly happy.
- Oh, no, Harvey, you're not...
:11:07
because you know you've been dishonest.
:11:09
- Well, so were you dishonest.
- Now, Harvey.
:11:11
Well, you took a bribe.
:11:12
What are you talking about?
:11:13
Didn't you find some money
in your room...
:11:15
a couple of days
before Christmas vacation...
:11:17
- lying on your table in an envelope?
- What?
:11:19
Yes. Only it wasn't a bribe.
It was a present...
:11:21
because I thought
you were a friend of mine.
:11:23
- Did you put that $50 there?
- Yes.
:11:25
I was going to tell you it was from me.
:11:27
I thought maybe you'd make
the history exam easier.
:11:29
You went to the dentist and came back
late, and I didn't get a chance to tell you.
:11:32
- I had no idea it was from you.
- You kept it, though.
:11:34
It'll be returned, Harvey.
:11:36
I'm afraid you need a little sterner lesson
than I can give you.
:11:39
What are you going to do?
:11:40
I'm going to talk it over with Dr. Finley
and see what he thinks ought to be done.
:11:43
You hate me.
:11:47
- Where's Coventry?
- It isn't a place.
:11:48
It means he can't talk to anybody,
and you can't talk to him.
:11:51
You just have to pretend he doesn't exist.
:11:53
And if he tries to talk to you,
you have to report it to a master.
:11:56
What did he do?
:11:57
I don't know. He's a fresh kid. That's all.
