13:36Silly.
13:37Spell democracy.
13:38C-H-I-N-A.

13:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:42Mrs.
14:04I suppose if I'd asked you to spell dictatorship, you'd have spelt out England.
14:05Or maybe not.
14:08Well, that leaves only you.
14:10If you can answer the next question correctly, you will be the brain of the class,
14:14which doesn't say an awful lot for the rest of you.
14:17Por favor.
14:20Here is your question.
14:22What is another name for a valley between two mountains?
14:25Valley between two mountains?
14:27Si, yes.
14:30Pass.
14:40All right.
14:45Are we?
14:47I am the big talent, the big brain.
14:50Yeah, it goes with your big head.
14:53Don't stop, please.
14:55Excuse me, please, Mr Brown.
14:58It is home-going time.
15:00Not quite.
15:01But you are wanting to get ready for your big fight tonight with the Utpekar teacher.
15:05We are wanting to be there in time to see you knock the stiffing out of him.
15:09There is not going to be any fight.
15:12Do you not mean that?
15:14I do.
15:15Santa Maria, what about all the money we bet?
15:18Money?
15:19You mean betting on the result?
15:22Sure.
15:23We all put in one pound each.
15:25What, ten pounds on me to win?
15:27No, we back the other thing.
15:30Thanks a lot.
15:31No, I'm only joking.
15:32Sure, we back you to win.
15:34You ready, then?
15:35Ready?
15:36Yeah, for the fight.
15:38Ah, yes.
15:39The fight.
15:40Look, could I have a word with you, Mr Jarvis, outside?
15:45Well?
15:46Look, we're both reasonable men.
15:48I'm not.
15:50Look, I'm sure we can settle this amicably.
15:53I'm sure we can.
15:54After I've knocked your block off.
15:56Ah, just the two persons I wanted to see.
15:59What's all this I hear about a fight?
16:01It's just a private matter between Mr Brown and myself.
16:04Nonsense.
16:05It's common knowledge throughout the whole school.
16:07Now step into my office, shut the door behind you and take heed for I shall not tell you again.
16:12I will not have members of my staff brawling in public.
16:17I absolutely forbid it.
16:18You do?
16:19Most definitely.
16:20Oh, good.
16:21I mean, what a pity.
16:22I was quite looking forward to it.
16:23That's not the impression I got.
16:25You mean to tell me that you were actually looking forward to this fight?
16:28Oh, yes.
16:29Besides, there was a point of honour at stake.
16:31What point of honour?
16:32Well, this person insulted Miss Danielle Favre.
16:34He forced his attentions on her.
16:36I see.
16:38Male chauvinism, eh, Mr Jarvis?
16:41Well, why not?
16:42Women like to be dominated.
16:44Nonsense.
16:45Oh, come now, Miss Courtney.
16:47The man is by nature the hunting.
16:49Oh, well, this puts an entirely different complexion on the matter.
16:52It does?
16:53Yes.
16:54Much as I abhor fighting, I feel that under the circumstances,
16:59perhaps your motives were justified.
17:03We can have our little punch-up in the yard.
17:05Certainly not.
17:07Oh, thank goodness.
17:08You will settle your differences in a much more civilised and sporting manner.
17:12Oh, I quite agree.
17:13How about a game of chess?
17:16The school has a perfectly good gymnasium.
17:20If you must knock each other about, I suggest you do it there.
17:23Tomorrow night, after class.
17:31Where is Mr Brown?
17:32He's just putting his gloves off.
17:34Oh, here he comes now.
17:45Sit down, please.
17:46I have something for you.
17:48What's that?
17:49No, sir.
17:50If you put this in his gloves, you'd be putting his gloves.
17:52Yeah, and probably my wrist too.
17:53No, sir.
17:54Excuse me, please.
17:55No, Tara.
17:56You do that after each round.
17:58After each round.
17:59After each round.
18:00All right.
18:01All right.
18:02Gentlemen, please.
18:03All right.
18:04Quiet, please.
18:05All right.
18:06Quiet, please.
18:07Ladies and gentlemen.

18:28From the woodwork department, Nigel Jarvis.
18:30And on my left.
18:31From the language class, Jeremy Brown.
18:32Hey.
18:33Come on.
18:34Come on.
18:35Now, listen.
18:36what a good clean fight remember this I want no scratching bulging gouging
18:40eating below the belt. Shake hands now come out and fight you.
18:45All right. Seconds out.
19:06This must be having a fight not a dance.
19:21Don't throw me. Don't throw me. Don't throw me.
19:35Don't throw me. Don't throw me.
19:38Don't throw me. Don't throw me.
19:42All right. You've asked for it. I'll do the old alley shuffle.
19:47One, two, one, two, three.
19:56Three, four, go.
20:05You are getting very worried.
20:14He's worried he's going to kill me.
20:16We're going to lose our money. We've got to do something.
20:20I have an idea.
20:24Hey, that's a good idea.
20:31Hey, Mr. Woodwork, you box real good, you know?
20:35Thanks.
20:37Listen, you boxed before?
20:39No, once or twice. I don't reckon your Mr. Brown's done so much of a chance.
20:43Well, maybe. Somehow, I don't think I'd like to be in my shoes, no?
20:47Yeah, no.
20:48One, two, three, four, five, six, five, six.
21:09Oh, good evening, everyone.
21:18Mr. Brown, I want to thank you what you did last night.
21:21You were so proud.
21:22Oh, it was nothing, really.
21:24Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown.
21:25What is it?
21:26Oh, blimey, he's at it again.
21:28Who's at it again?
21:29That Ushbecker teacher, Mr. Jarvis.
21:31He's making advantages to Jamila.
21:34Advances?
21:35Yes, please.
21:36So I'm giving a kick in his backside.
21:38And now he's challenging me to a puncher.
21:41Oh, not again.
21:42I don't think you should go through with it, Ali.
21:43I mean, with all due respect, you're not as experienced as I am.
21:46That is what I'm thinking.
21:48So I'm telling this to Mr. Jarvis.
21:50Good.
21:51The fight is taking place tonight in the gymnasium.
21:55I'm sorry.
21:55I thought you said you weren't fighting him.
