Election

1:29:01

Huh?

1:29:03

[Knock On Door]

1:29:04

Dr. Hendricks?

1:29:09

Uh, come on in, son.
We have something...

1:29:11

hard we have to tell you.

1:29:14

Is it about Tammy?

1:29:15

It's about the election.

1:29:20

Jim: After Paul
got the bad news,

1:29:23

Walt asked for a few minutes
alone with me.

1:29:25

It was very simple, really.

1:29:28

I offered my resignation,

1:29:30

and he accepted.

1:29:33

Very quietly, it was
all over for Jim McAllister

1:29:36

at Carver High.

1:29:42

Suddenly everyone knew who I was--

1:29:44

that corrupt teacher

1:29:46

who had tried to crush
the dreams of an innocent girl.

1:29:49

Overnight, all the good things
I had ever done in my life

1:29:52

evaporated.

1:29:54

Soon the wire services
picked up on the story.

1:29:57

It was the kind of absurd news item
people E-mail each other

1:30:01

or post on the bulletin
board at work.

1:30:04

To top it all off, Diane had
started divorce proceedings.

1:30:08

She was completely unforgiving
about the thing with Linda.

1:30:11

In the end, she took
almost everything,

1:30:14

including the house.

1:30:16

I got the car.

1:30:34

Then one day,

1:30:36

I realized it was time
to get out of Omaha

1:30:38

and move on.

1:30:46

Paul:
Senior year was great.

1:30:48

Sure, I didn't get to
play ball or be president,

1:30:52

but I got elected
homecoming king and prom king.

1:30:55

I got into Nebraska,
like I wanted,

1:30:57

and early rushed PhiDelts.

1:30:59

And at the end of the year,
me and my buddies
