- Don Quixote is life.
- [ Boy ] l still don't see...
1:49:05
how this old guy with a horse and a fat
old sidekick can think he's a knight.
1:49:10
lt means if you wanna be
a knight, act like a knight.
1:49:13
Okay.
1:49:14
Act like a knight ?
You act like a knight.
1:49:17
[ Boy #2 ] l am a knight.
1:49:20
- l shall miss them.
- What is this ?
That retirement business again ?
1:49:24
[ Chuckles ] That'd be like a snail
retiring from his shell.
1:49:27
l can't go on doing this forever.
lt's for you now, Charlie.
1:49:31
- So, what's the news ? Did you
read Norman Mailer in Dissent ?
- l only glanced at it.
1:49:36
Everyone's talking about it. They don't
know whether he's a genius or a fool.
1:49:40
Have you heard there's this
congressional committee that's, um--
1:49:43
Well, they're investigating
the quiz shows.
1:49:46
l read that.
What's it about ?
1:49:47
Well, evidently,
certain of the contestants were
given the answers in advance.
1:49:53
Cheating on a quiz show. That's like
plagiarizing a comic strip.
1:49:57
Well, at any rate, it seems
the committee wants to call me
to, to testify.
1:50:01
Oh, l've testified before.
Funding for the arts. lt's nothing.
1:50:04
- l think this is a little different.
- You'll run circles round them.
1:50:08
lt's not exactly Jefferson
and Lincoln down there anymore.
1:50:11
l think this is
a little different.
1:50:13
l'd think you'd be glad
at a chance to clear your name.
1:50:15
Otherwise, people
might believe--
1:50:17
People will believe whatever they
want to believe. That's not the issue.
1:50:20
Just tell 'em the truth.
You'll do fine.
1:50:23
The real issue, Charlie,
is how this keeps distracting
you from your teaching.
1:50:27
This and that program in the morning,
though you insist that it doesn't.
1:50:30
Dad, l can't simply just
tell 'em the truth.
1:50:35
Can't tell them
the truth ?
1:50:38
Why on earth not ?
1:50:40
lt's, it's complicated.
1:50:43
Complicated ?
1:50:45
[ Sighs ] Yeah, l can't.
l ca--
1:50:49
Charlie, from what l understand,
it's just this bunch of frauds...
1:50:52
showing off an erudition
they didn't really have.
1:50:55
- All you have to do--
- The problem is...
1:50:57
is it seems
l was one of those frauds.
