[Women squealing] This is the best time I've ever had in my entire life! Do you hear me, world? My entire life! [Clifford laughing] [Birds chirping] You gonna make it, man? Yeah, yeah, thank you, I think so. Thank you, thank you. Take care, my brother. [Shoes squishing] Hello, Son. Hello, Father. That's a late night. [Sighs] I guess, a little. Good morning, Clifford. Breakfast anyone? (Arthur) No, none for me. Oh, of course not. You're probably gonna starve yourself to death. [Both chuckling] What makes you think that I'd take my own life? Oh, I was speaking figuratively, dear. But these financial statements... Clifford, cash your paycheck quickly. Margaret! Mar... Mar... Would you please excuse me? That is private business between the trustees and me. Forget it, everything's peachy... Harmon Rousehorn, I'm gonna call him and tell him to cancel his visit. We don't need his endowment check. [Margaret laughing] Don't you dare. My God! Oh! Honestly, some people just can't take a joke. I'm gonna water my begonias. ##[Margaret humming] Well, I would prefer for you to hear it from me. But without the Rousehorn endowment check this college can't even meet its current payroll. But we are getting the check. I mean, Rousehorn's coming in to present it himself. It's a major endowment. It's in the press. Look, son, without that check, Monday next the banks are gonna close this college down. Close it down. One hundred years of scholarship and public service shot to shit. I've gotta go up and get some winks before my 11:00 lecture. You've got a 9:00. Is today Wednesday? (Arthur) Yes, Wednesday. I thought it was Thursday. [Bell tolling] [Students chattering] Excuse me, please. Thank you. Morning. (Clifford) Ah-ah-ah. Places, please. Let's begin. Sorry I'm late. [Students groan] We were discussing the hero's role in chivalry as exemplified by the character of Lancelot, based on Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. Entranced by Arthur's Queen Guinevere, Lancelot, a knight of impeccable virtue, faces a crisis as his idйe fixe confronts his libido. Any comments? Mr. Frankman, what do you think of Lancelot's crisis? Well, I think Lancelot was an idiot. Mr. Frankman, how long have you been in the first-year program? Four years. [Students chuckling] Uh, duty, selfless honor, chastity, humility, uh, purity, a devotion to a greater good. I mean, by now, don't any of these things mean anything to you? [Clifford sighs] All together now: What is the chivalric ideal? (students) The chivalric ideal is one of duty to a higher cause in which purity and chastity are virtues and manly strength and honor are devoted to their preservation. And justice for all. [Police car siren wailing] Just let it out! They'll get to your real feelings. How does it feel? Hey, man, I feel lousy... Lousy. I feel shitty... Hmm. I feel pissed off... Violent, hostile? Yeah, a little. Great! Hit me. Hey, man, I can't do that. Look, you can. You want to. You... You... You have to. I need it. Hey, man. What's wrong with you? You getting a little kinky? 'Cause if you are, it's gonna cost you extra. I learned that from the girls. They learned that from me and that has nothing to do with this! Now, look, Diavolo, for once, do what I tell you to do and try to do it right! Now, hit me! Say, man, what's wrong with you? You going crazy? I can't hit you. You want me to call a doctor? I ain't hitting you, man. Okay. I'll make it real easy for you. I got everything, you got nothing, right? I'm the boss, you ain't jack shit! I am white. I don't even know what you are! Say, man, I'm black! All right, then try to remember that my grandfather owned your grandfather! Your mama! [Groans] That's good, Diavolo. That's good! Oh, my back! Oh, your ass! Take it easy. Take it easy. Not the teeth.
