:01:01
Somehow, you must pay for this.
:01:04
Yeah.
:01:12
You got in quite a bit of trouble for that.
:01:15
But you felt your friend would have been
punished worse.
:01:19
At 10 years old, he showed
the kind of courage most adults never find.
:01:26
I let the life stand for itself here.
:01:29
Could we go to 10-9-15?
The evening of that same day.
:01:39
- How will you pay for this?
- I don't know!
:01:42
I'm very disappointed in you.
:01:45
I'm sorry.
:01:46
- We must punish you severely.
- We don't have to!
:01:50
Yes, we do.
First of all, no television for a month.
:01:53
I didn't do it! Steve did! It's Steve's fault!
:01:57
What?
:01:58
Steve lost the paints.
He probably stole them.
:02:02
I didn't do it.
:02:06
Punish him!
:02:13
What happened to your friend Steve?
Do you remember, Mr. Miller?
:02:17
What do you mean?
:02:18
He was expelled from school
two days later, isn't that right?
:02:22
I thought he left on his own.
:02:24
What's the point?
:02:25
I'm looking at the results
of what you call a courageous act.
:02:30
Mr. Miller might have acted bravely
in class...
:02:33
...but we just watched him crumble
a few hours later, and why?
:02:37
At the threat of no television?
:02:38
I was ten years old. Television is
everything to a ten-year-old.
:02:43
It's like heroin. You can't just pull it away.
:02:46
I never wanted to watch.
:02:48
My parents made me because they wanted
to go out and I got hooked.
:02:53
Miss Foster and I
have had this argument before.
:02:56
I think the act itself is what's important.
:02:59
She wants to keep enlarging it
until everything loses meaning.
