:42:00
and a large green salad.
:42:02
Oh, no.
Wait a minute.
:42:03
I want to start
:42:05
with the spicy
chicken wings.
:42:07
Are they the tiny ones
without meat?
:42:10
Actually, it's quite
a large serving.
:42:12
Ah, good.
:42:13
Ooh, good arms.
:42:14
And a large bowl
of the clam chowder.
:42:19
Uh, and the blueberry pie
:42:21
with ice cream for dessert.
:42:22
Ja.
:42:25
I like how they talk.
:42:29
I've been trying to get to
know the parents...
:42:32
but some of them
are avoiding me.
:42:34
Some of them
are like that.
:42:36
It's a strange town that way...
:42:38
especially with new arrivals.
:42:39
What do you mean?
:42:40
I think a lot of people
:42:42
that come to small towns
:42:43
are trying to get
away from something
:42:45
or they're
hiding something.
:42:47
Like what?
:42:49
Well, for example,
what brought you here?
:42:52
Me? Well,
there was an opening
:42:54
for a kindergarten teacher.
:42:56
Yeah, but what made you
become a kindergarten teacher?
:42:58
I mean, it is a bit unusual.
:43:01
John is a bit unusual.
:43:02
Well...
:43:03
You are.
:43:04
I was born in Austria.
:43:06
My father was a teacher.
:43:07
My mother was a teacher.
:43:09
So is Ursula.
:43:10
Ja.
:43:11
We have a tradition in Austria
:43:13
where we follow
the footsteps of our parents.
:43:15
So when I moved
to this country...
:43:18
I taught geography
:43:19
and physical education
in Arizona...
:43:21
and then I coached basketball
:43:23
at an all-girls school
in Rhode Island, but...
:43:27
none of it made me
really happy.
:43:30
Why weren't you happy?
:43:32
Ja. Why weren't you happy?
:43:35
Well, I got tired of
teaching teenagers...
:43:38
because by the time
they came to me...
:43:40
I felt there wasn't
much I could do with them.
:43:43
I realized that the real action
is in kindergarten.
:43:46
How long have you been
teaching kindergarten?
:43:48
It's my second day.
:43:50
Oh.
:43:53
Ooh, excuse me,
but it's good.
:43:57
It is good.
:43:58
Thanks again.
:43:59
Nice to meet you.
