Dear Mr. Vernon...
:02:18
We accept that
we had to sacrifice...
:02:20
a whole Saturday in detention
for whatever it was we did wrong.
:02:24
What we did was wrong...
:02:26
but we think you're crazy
to make us write an essay...
:02:29
telling you who we think we are.
:02:32
What do you care?
:02:35
You see us as you want to see us...
:02:37
in the simplest terms,
the most convenient definitions.
:02:41
You see us as a brain...
:02:44
an athlete...
:02:46
a basket case...
:02:48
a princess...
:02:50
and a criminal.
:02:54
Correct?
:02:59
That's the way we saw each other
at 7:00 this morning.
:03:01
We were brainwashed.
:03:12
I can't believe
you can't get me out of this.
:03:17
It's so absurd
I have to be here on a Saturday.
:03:22
It's not like
I'm a defective or anything.
:03:24
I'll make it up to you.
:03:26
Honey, ditching class to go shopping
doesn't make you a defective.
:03:30
Have a good day.
:03:36
Is this the first
or last time we do this?
:03:39
Last.
:03:40
Get in there and use the time
to your advantage.
:03:43
Mom, we're not supposed to study.
:03:46
- Mister, you figure out a way to study.
- Yeah.
:03:51
Well, go!
:03:59
Hey, I screwed around.
