Mr. Hand:

[handing out graded test] [22:51] Mr. Hand:
C. D. F. F. F. Three weeks we've been talking about the Platt Amendment. What are you people - on dope? A piece of legislation was introduced into Congress by Senator John Platt. It was passed in 1906. This amendment to our Constitution has a profound impact upon all of our... [notices Spicoli's seat is empty] Mr. Hand:
Where is Jeff Spicoli? I saw him earlier today, near the first floor bathrooms. Is he still on campus? Anyone? [Desmond raises hand] Mr. Hand:
Yes, Desmond? Desmond:
I saw him by the food machines. Mr. Hand:
How long ago? Desmond:
Right before class. Mr. Hand:
Okay. Bring him in. [Desmond exits] Mr. Hand:
What is this fascination with truancy? What is it that gets inside your heads? There are some teachers in this school who look the other way at truants. It's a little game that you both play. They pretend they don't see you. You pretend you don't ditch! Now, who pays the price later? *You!* [Desmond re-enters; Spicoli follows him. He has a bagel stuffed into his pants; with open shirt, barefoot, holding Vans] Jeff Spicoli:
Wait a minute, there's no birthday party for me here! Hello, Mr. Hand. Mr. Hand:
What's the reason for your truancy? Jeff Spicoli:
Just couldn't make it on time. Mr. Hand:
You mean you couldn't or you wouldn't? Jeff Spicoli:
It was like a full crowd scene at the food lines. Mr. Hand:
Food will be eaten on your time. Why are you continuously late for this class, Mr. Spicoli? Why do you... shamelessly waste my time like this? Jeff Spicoli:
[long pause, but then with complete truth in his answer]
I don't know. Mr. Hand:
[Mr. Hand goes to blackboard and writes the words "I DON'T KNOW", then underlines them]
I like that. "I *don't* know." That's nice. Mr. Hand:
[imitating]
"Mr. Hand, will I pass this class?" "Gee, Mr. Spicoli, I don't know!" That's nice. I really like that! You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to leave your words on this board for *all* my classes to enjoy, giving you full credit of course, Mr. Spicoli. Jeff Spicoli:
All right
