what you need.
There's always robbers.
What was the movie we saw with
the stagecoach? A very good movie.
- Stagecoach.
- The movie had a stagecoach.
- Stagecoach.
- Very active movie.
John Wayne, he was an outlaw
but was not an outlaw.
What was the movie called
with the stagecoach?
Stagecoach.
That's what I'm saying,
with the stagecoach.
- Stagecoach.
- Stagecoach?
I saw a nice little shop
off Helen's Market...
...on the southeast corner.
Supposing we do do this, what are
we selling? Same things we sell now?
Yeah, only for less
than running the routes.
Pots and pans?
Pots, pans,
vacuum cleaners, everything.
The time is right
we get out on our own.
We don't have enough money.
Now is not right.
- Ann, please.
- All right.
The problem is, Jules,
we never have privacy.
Everybody's on top of everybody.
We need our own place.
And we'll get it.
But Izzy's right.
This is the time for us to use
our savings for our own business.
We can get off the street
and try to make a go of it.
Well, I know that's the best thing.
I just can't promise
I'm gonna remain sane.
You put on a little sweater.
Yeah, be sure to take small steps.
There's a little wind.
Michael! Forgot your lunch money.
Toss it.
Ann! Do we leave at 10:30?
Yeah, that'll be fine!
I have to be back at 1:00.
I have to go to the doctor's
with Jules.
You're not driving, are you?
- No, I'm still taking the lessons.
- Oh, thank God.
"Can" is whether you're capable
of doing something.
"May" is asking for permission.
- Yes, Michael?
- Can I go to the bathroom?
Michael, do you want
to repeat that question?
Oh, no, I'm going
to be made an example of.
Michael.
I said, "Can I go to the bathroom?"
You can, but you may not.
Well, can I or can't I?
I don't think you've been paying
attention, have you, Michael Kaye?
Yes, I have.
So how would you
rephrase the question?
Can I please go to the bathroom?
Children.
Michael Kaye, why don't you just
spend some time in the hallway...
...until you've learned the difference
between "can" and "may."
When you've learned the difference,
then you may come back in.
I have to go to the bathroom,
but I'm afraid to ask.
Now, does anyone know the difference
between "can" and "may"?
Young man, have you learned the
difference between "may" and "can"?
Not yet.
You stay out there
until you've learned the difference.
Yes, Mrs. Parkes.
Well? Are you ready
to rejoin the class, Michael?
Yes, Mrs. Parkes.
And what's the difference
between "may" and "can"?
Give me a little more time.
Young man, what are you doing
in the hallway?
Learning the difference
between "may" and "can."
How long do you think it would take?
Hello?
Is this Mr. Kaye?
His father, Mr. Krichinsky.
No, he's at the doctor's,
but he's fine. Who is this?
This is Mr. Dunn,
the principal of Michael's school.
We seem to have a problem.
Is he sick?
We seem to have a problem
between "may" and "can."
What's the problem?
That's the lesson they were learning.
Michael asked
if he could go to the bathroom.
He said, "Can I go to the bathroom?"
The teacher said,
"You can, but you may not."
What's the problem?
He asked to go to the bathroom.
He asked, but he asked incorrectly.
- Did he raise his hand?
- Yes, he did.
But the point is, it was
a lesson about "may" and "can."
Okay, it's fine with me.
So, what's the problem?
He asked, "Can I go to the bathroom?"
The teacher said,
"You can, but you may not."
That's confusing to the kid,
because you're saying, "You can"...
...and then you say,
"You can, but you can't."
You don't understand the subtleties...
...of the English language,
Mr. Krichinsky.
This English, it's very difficult.
I never realized
how difficult English is.
"May" or "can."
You can, but you may not.
We've come a long way.
In the old days, if you had to pee,
you peed on a tree.
There's no "may" or "can."
That's progress for you.
Oh, my
