:51:00
You can't go down now.
It can only be up from here.
:51:03
I'd like to know how.
- Use your head.
:51:07
An education, lad.
:51:10
What good will that do?
:51:12
Get it first. Then who knows?
Are you willing to try?
:51:17
Well, what have
I got to lose?
:51:19
That's the spirit!
We'll start tomorrow!
:51:22
We'll show 'em.
Won't we, boy?
:51:24
We sure will.
:51:27
Now, first of all, lad...
:51:30
we've got to get all these
medieval ideas out of your head.
:51:33
Clear the way for new ideas.
:51:36
Knowledge of man's
fabulous discoveries...
:51:39
in the centuries ahead.
:51:41
Now that'll be a great advantage, boy.
- Advantage, indeed!
:51:45
If the boy goes about saying the world
is round, they'll take him for a lunatic.
:51:49
The world is round?
- Yes, yes, that's right.
:51:52
And it also goes around.
:51:58
You mean it'll be round someday?
- No, no, no.
:52:00
It's round now. Man will discover
this in centuries to come.
:52:04
And he will also find that
the world is merely...
:52:08
a tiny speck
in the universe.
:52:11
Universe?
- Oh, you're only confusing the boy.
:52:14
Before you're through, he'll be so mixed
up he'll be wearing his shoes on his head.
:52:18
Man has always learned from the past. After
all, you can't learn history in reverse.
:52:22
It's, it's, it's confusing
enough, for heaven sakes.
:52:26
All right! All right.
Have it your way, Archimedes.
:52:30
You're in charge.
You're the headmaster now.
:52:33
So from now on,
he's your pupil.
:52:37
So, from now on, boy...
:52:41
you do as I say.
:52:43
Yes, sir.
- All right.
:52:45
Now to start off, I want you
to read these books.
:52:49
All of them?
- That, my boy, is a mountain of knowledge.
:52:53
But l, but I can't read.
- What, what...?
:52:56
Then I don't suppose you know how to write?
:52:58
No, sir.
- What do you know?
