:30:04
It won't do them any harm.
:30:08
You can't teach the pupils anything
that way.
:30:13
No?
:30:18
Why not try to be a bit nicer?
:30:22
They're not bad.
:30:26
Lazy, yes.
:30:28
But they're good boys, really.
:30:31
At least I think so.
:30:35
You know... our work is complicated.
:30:39
Wouldn't it be best
to meet them halfway?
:30:43
We shouldn't be enemies,
we and the boys.
:30:48
The job is nerve-racking enough
as it is.
:30:51
You mean I terrorise them?
What are you trying to say?
:30:55
That a man of your learning
:30:59
shouldn't care so much
for respect bred from fear.
:31:03
- That's no concern of yours.
- It is!
:31:06
It's my class, and my boys.
:31:09
- So they're harmed, are they?
- Yes. Not all, but some.
:31:15
The others just despise you.
:31:17
And laugh at you
when your back's turned...
:31:21
- How do you know?
- I know my boys.
:31:26
- And I don't?
- No, you don't.
:31:29
If you did, you'd behave differently.
:31:32
Behave?
:31:34
Please do not use that word.
:31:39
This is not a matter of words.
:31:42
I thought you cared for your boys.
:31:46
But I'm just an old fool.
:31:51
I can see now that you don't care
one jot for them.
:31:55
Really?
:31:56
Do you care for them?
:31:59
A teacher must care for his boys.
