1:59:00
I um...
1:59:01
I probably won't
be there anyway.
1:59:03
Why no?
1:59:05
I don't know.
1:59:06
I think I now have more
sympathy for the strikers.
1:59:11
See ya.
1:59:16
Stupid American.
1:59:28
So, Billy...
1:59:31
how was school today?
1:59:32
Okay.
Ronald Farber was absent.
1:59:35
Oh?
1:59:37
He was afraid of the math test.
1:59:39
So he stayed home?
1:59:41
Yeah. He cut.
1:59:42
That's terrible.
His parents...
1:59:45
Um, they don't know yet.
They're still on vacation.
1:59:49
Oh, are they gonna be upset.
1:59:51
Well, Ronald's gonna be pretty
upset when he finds out
1:59:54
that the test was canceled.
1:59:55
What happened?
1:59:56
Mrs. Paley was absent also.
1:59:59
( chuckles )
2:00:01
Did you call Ronald
and tell him?
2:00:03
Yeah, but, there was no answer.
2:00:07
Was Mrs. Paley sick, then?
2:00:10
Well, everyone said she was
too strung out.
2:00:13
Why do people say things
like that?
2:00:16
Because she's...
2:00:18
a drug addict.
2:00:20
And how do you know?
2:00:23
Everyone knows.
2:00:25
Well, I didn't know.
Did you know, Bill?
2:00:27
No.
2:00:29
Did you hear that, Billy?
2:00:32
Well, it's what everyone says,
she's a junkie.
2:00:34
And she's probably
gonna get fired.
2:00:37
It's really sad.
2:00:38
Well, if Mrs. Paley turns out,
in fact, to be a junkie,
2:00:40
then she should be fired.
Don't you think so, Bill?
2:00:44
I don't know.
2:00:46
Don't you think that's...
2:00:47
a little harsh?
2:00:50
I mean, it's not
affecting her work.
2:00:52
Well, apparently it is.
2:00:55
No. In fact, I don't think
it's a little harsh at all.
2:00:58
I'm sorry, but when it comes
to drug abuse and children,
