1:23:00
Well, I've had it right up to here.
1:23:04
I'm quitting, I'm getting another job.
1:23:06
Ten miles and 3000 delinquents
away from here.
1:23:08
No, no. I was the one that was wrong.
You proved something.
1:23:11
The kids in our school can be taught
if you don't stop trying.
1:23:15
You got through to them.
1:23:17
And those kids, when they came
into my class, a little of your momentum...
1:23:21
...carried over, and all of a sudden,
I wanted to get through to them too.
1:23:25
Hey, that was a big day for me.
1:23:28
- Lf I could have two days a week...
- You can have it. You can have it.
1:23:32
Remember what you told me:
Don't turn your back on it.
1:23:35
If you quit here, you'll quit
at the next school. You'll quit teaching.
1:23:39
So what? Who cares, Jim? Who cares?
You think the kids care?
1:23:43
Their parents care?
Who cares about teachers anyhow?
1:23:48
I wanna show you something
I wrote down.
1:23:50
Now, just listen to this.
Teachers get $2 an hour, right?
1:23:53
Now, listen. A congressman and a judge
are $9.25 an hour.
1:23:56
Policemen and firemen, $2.75.
Carpenter, 2.81.
1:23:59
Plumber, 2.97. Plasterer, 3.21.
1:24:01
A household cook gets more money
than we do, and they get room and board.
1:24:05
Oh, yes, I know, a teacher, they get
as much as a babysitter or a soda jerk.
1:24:12
Two dollars an hour for a teacher.
1:24:15
We take you now to Times Square
in New York.
1:24:17
In a few moments, the New Year
will be officially born.
1:24:20
Come in, Times Square.
1:24:28
Hi.
1:24:32
Thank you.
1:24:38
- You feeling all right?
- Now that you're here.
1:24:43
- What's the matter?
- What? Nothing.
1:24:46
Is it about the baby?
1:24:48
No, I didn't see the doctor, Anne.
He... He was busy.
1:24:54
Happy New Year!
