:48:01
He would take a class and, in return,
I would waive his tuition at the Institute...
:48:06
...for as long as he attends.
:48:11
Wait. Wait a minute.
:48:14
- You wanna take Fred to college?
- Just for the summer.
:48:19
Why can't you just wait and,
like, observe him in the fall?
:48:23
I wouldn't have time.
I'd be busy running the Institute.
:48:26
Well. As it happens, we already got plans.
:48:29
Me and a friend got good jobs dancing
at this hotel in Orlando for the summer.
:48:33
The place is really nice.
It's got a big pool and everything.
:48:38
- A pool?
- Yeah, so that's that.
:48:41
Ms Tate, Fred is not a leper.
:48:44
Intelligence is not a disease
that you have to protect him from.
:48:48
He's blessed, but he's certainly not alone.
:48:50
There are many gifted children out there.
:48:53
Yeah? How many of 'em
are blessed with ulcers, huh?
:48:58
How many of them go to bed worrying
about the ozone layer, the rain forest...
:49:03
...and why innocent people
get murdered all the time?
:49:07
Fred worries about everything.
He can't help himself.
:49:09
You wanna send him to college. Jesus.
:49:13
You hear about kids
ten years older than him...
:49:16
...jumping outta windows
on account of the pressure.
:49:19
Let's not get hysterical. We're talking
about one class for one summer.
:49:24
I told you. We already made plans.
:49:26
What I'm trying to tell you is that...
:49:29
...your son is starving for stimulation and
challenge, and for some order in his life.
