You mean to tell me you're President of the United States and you're banging some 22 year-old intern in the White House and you ask her to keep her mouth shut, and you really think she's gonna do it? I mean, come on, give me a break! Clinton. He should count himself lucky she didn't go straight to Oprah. Come on, she was overwhelmed by Starr's team in that hotel room. No, poor thing. Eleven guys hitting on her? - That's a gang-bang. - Oh, right. That's why she's talking to Linda Tripp. She's talking to everybody. She's part of that whole dopey culture. Yak yak yak. Oh, look, if Clinton couldn't figure Monica Lewinsky, then he shouldn't have been president. That's grounds for impeachment right there. - That's true. - You're right. I'm telling you, if he'd just fucked her. That's the way you create loyalty. - Yeah. - That's the way. But you know what Kennedy would have done to her? Or Nixon? They would have told her, Not only are you not gonna work, you're not gonna work ever again. And your father's gonna be out of work. And your mother. And your brother Everybody in your family is not gonna make one more thin dime unless you keep your mouth shut. Well, but Clinton plays it like a lawyer. That's why he didn't want to come. Hey, when he came, he was finished. Evidence. Smoking come. Nineteen ninety-eight was the summer of sanctimony. After the fall of Communism and before the horrors of terrorism, there was a brief interlude when the nation was preoccupied by cocksucking. This is Coleman Silk, powerful Dean of Faculty and professor of Classics at Athena College in western Massachusetts. Educated at NYU and Oxford Coleman taught in England before returning to the U.S. To become One of the first Jews to teach in a Classics department anywhere in America. When he was appointed Dean of Athena, Coleman took the poulky sleepy-hollow type college and dragged it, kicking and screaming, from mediocrity to excellence. Of course, in the process, he made a good many enemies. Sing, O Gods, of the wrath of Achilles And finally, "the persecuting spirit" caught up with Coleman. All of European literature springs from a fight, a barroom brawl, really. And what was Achilles so angry about? Well, he and King Agamemnon were quarrelling over a woman, a young girl and her body and the delights of sexual rapacity. Achilles, the most hypersensitive fighting machine in the history of warfare. Achilles, who, because of his rage at having to give up the girl, isolates himself defiantly outside the very society whose protector he is and whose need of him is enormous. Achilles, has to give up the girl. He has to give her back. And that is how the great imaginative literature of Europe begins, and that is why three thousand years later, we are going to begin there today. Miss Cummings, Tracy Cummings, can you tell us Still not here. Okay. Mr. Thomas, William Thomas. Is he here? We're five weeks into the semester and I haven't even laid eyes on these folks. Can anyone tell me, do these people exist? Or are they spooks? Were you aware, Professor Silk, that Tracy Cummings and William Thomas are African- Americans? How could I be? I've never seen them. But you are aware of the connotation of the word "spook." Ghost Professor Roux. Ghost. I was referring to their ectoplasmic character. Here is the, uh, first definition of the word. I quote Spook, Informal Ghost, Spectre But, Dean Silk, let me remind you of the second definition Negro. I'd never laid eyes on them. How could I know they were black? Hmm? All I did know was that they were invisible. Nevertheless, they have lodged a complaint. Miss Cummings was devastated. Now the issue here These students have never attended a single class. Do they exist or are they spooks? Consider the context. - But, Dean Silk - I've not finished! The only issue is the nonattendance of these ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Тариф Новогодний на английском - текст Пропавший без вести 2: Начало на английском - текст Взвод монстров на английском - текст Шерлок Холмс и доктор Ватсон: Знакомство на английском - текст Бетховен 2 на английском |
