start.
Okay. I want
a rib eye steak
with mashed potatoes
and a large green salad.
Oh, no.
Wait a minute.
I want to start
with the spicy
chicken wings.
Are they the tiny ones
without meat?
Actually, it's quite
a large serving.
Ah, good.
Ooh, good arms.
And a large bowl
of the clam chowder.
Uh, and the blueberry pie
with ice cream for dessert.
Ja.
I like how they talk.
I've been trying to get to
know the parents,
but some of them
are avoiding me.
Some of them
are like that.
It's a strange town that way,
especially with new arrivals.
- What do you mean?
- I think a lot of people
that come to small towns are trying
to get away from something
or they're hiding something.
Like what?
Well, for example,
what brought you here?
Me? Well,
there was an opening
for a kindergarten teacher.
Yeah, but what made you
become a kindergarten teacher?
I mean, it is a bit unusual.
John is a bit unusual.
- Well...
- You are.
I was born in Austria.
My father was a teacher.
My mother was a teacher.
- So is Ursula.
- Ja.
We have a tradition in Austria
where we follow
the footsteps of our parents.
So when I moved
to this country,
I taught geography
and physical education
in Arizona,
and then I coached basketball
at an all-girls school
in Rhode Island, but...
none of it made me
really happy.
Why weren't you happy?
Ja. Why weren't you happy?
Well, I got tired of
teaching teenagers
because by the time
they came to me,
I felt there wasn't
much I could do with them.
I realized that the real action
is in kindergarten.
How long have you been
teaching kindergarten?
It's my second day.
Oh.
Ooh, excuse me,
but it's good.
It is good.
- Thanks again.
- Nice to meet you.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
I had a great time.
Ja, me, too.
Well, Kimble,
I think you scored.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you talking about?
I'm only interested in her
because she works
at the school.
She knows the children
and the parents.
If you were any stiffer,
we could take you surfing.
Now, I know you like that woman.
What is your problem?
The only problem I've got
is that I'm doing your job.
You should be
cleaning up the paint
and reading stories
about bears that go shopping.
- I'm stuck with your job.
- Yeah, you are.
That's right. I am.
Look, you're going to be
out of here in a few days.
You told me yourself
you had a few good leads.
You'll be back dealing with junkies
and murderers in no time.
They're pushing me around.
Who?
The kids.
They're walking all over me.
Listen, Kimble.
You got to handle this
like any other police situation.
You walk into it showing fear,
you're dead,
and those kids know you're scared.
No fear.
No fear.
Today we're going to play
a new fun game.
It's called "police school."
I'm going to be your sheriff.
You're going to be
my deputy trainees.
Come on.
Stop whining.
You kids are soft.
You lack discipline.
Well, I've got news for you.
You are mine now.
You belong to me!
You're not going to have your mommies
here to wipe your tushies.
Oh, no.
It's time to turn
this mush into muscles.
No more complaining.
No more, "I have to go
to the bathroom."
There is no bathroom!
Now, the first thing the
deputy trainees have to learn
is to freeze
whenever you hear this.
Now, the next time you hear
this whistle,
each one of you get
one toy.
- How many?
- One!
Good. Then bring it back
to the carpet, pronto.
Ready? Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Sit down.
Ready?
Go quickly. Get your toy.
Go. Go for it.
Yes. Very fast.
Good. Quickly.
Bring the toy back to the carpet.
Bring it back
to the carpet.
Quick, quick, quick.
Back to the carpet.
Quickly.
Emma.
Emma, take your toy
to the carpet.
I'm not a policeman.
I'm a princess.
Take your toy
back to the carpet.
I'm not a policeman!
I'm a princess.
Take it back!
All right.
Very good.
You did very well.
Now we're going to
play another game.
When you hear
two whistle blows,
