It's reported that you maligned
religious and racial groups in class.

:50:04
- That's what this is about, Dadier.
- That's a lie.

:50:07
Is it? Did you use the expression
"nigger" in your class?

:50:13
- Yes.
- Then it is true.

:50:15
- Just wait...
- Did you use "spic"?

:50:17
- Yes, I used it in the same lesson...
- Lesson?

:50:20
- Yes.
- What textbook did you get this from?

:50:24
- Just listen to me a minute...
- You listen!

:50:27
I don't care if a boy's skin is black, yellow,
purple. He gets the same teaching, breaks...

:50:32
...as any white boy. Do you
understand that? Do you?

:50:35
There's enough immorality in the world.
Without your adding to it. Enough hatred.

:50:40
Hold it! You just hold it.
:50:46
I used that expression to teach a lesson
in democracy. What should not be said.

:50:50
- Those were negative examples.
- Not according to my report.

:50:54
- This boy has accused...
- What boy?

:50:56
- A boy in your class.
- What was his name?

:50:59
Can't tell you that.
:51:01
Well, suppose he's lying. Don't I have
any right to face my accuser?

:51:05
I know I don't have any as a teacher left,
but what about my rights as a human?

:51:09
- Nobody's depriving you of any rights.
- You accuse me. You condemn me...

:51:14
...without even a hearing.
- Look, I'm sorry, Dadier. I...

:51:18
...may have been hasty.
If I'm wrong, I apologize.

:51:21
You were wrong.
:51:24
In that case...
:51:30
Dadier...
:51:33
...I recall that you had some
dramatic training in college.

:51:38
Will you take charge
of our Christmas show?

:51:41
Well, is this a penalty?
Is this a reward? What is it?

:51:46
Just an extra job.
:51:51
All right.
