Something wrong with the clip?

Chuckie:
[in a bar]
Are we gonna have a problem here?
Clark:
No, no, no, no! There's no problem here. I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could be most aptly described as agrarian pre-capitalist.
Will:
Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.
Clark:
Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social...
Will:
"Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth"? You got that from Vickers' "Work in Essex County," page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you pawn it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend?
Will:
See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!
Clark:
Yeah, but I will have a degree. And you'll be servin' my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip.
Will:
Yeah, maybe. But at least I won't be unoriginal.

- Why don't you relax?
- Why don't you go away?
- I'm just havin' fun with my new friend.
- Are we gonna have a problem?
No, no, no. There's no problem here.
I was just hoping you might
give me some insight into the evolution...
of the market economy
in the southern colonies.
My contention is that prior to the
Revolutionary War, the economic modalities...
especially in the southern colonies...
could most aptly be characterized as...
- agrarian precapitalist.
- Let me tell you somethin'.
Of course that's your contention.
You're a first-year grad student.
You just got finished readin' some
Marxian historian- Pete Garrison, probably...
You're gonna be convinced of that till
next month when you get to James Lemon.
Then you're gonna be talkin' about now the
economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania...
were entrepreneurial
and capitalist way back in 1740.
That's gonna last until next year.
You're gonna be regurgitatin' Gordon Wood...
talkin' about, you know,
the prerevolutionary utopia...
and the capital-forming effects
of military mobilization.
As a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood
drastically underestimates the impact of...
Wood drastically underestimates
the impact of social distinctions...
predicated upon wealth,
especially inherited wealth?
You got that from Vickers'
Work in Essex County Page 98, right?
I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize
the whole thing for us?
Do you have any thoughts
of your own on this matter?
Or is that your thing? You come into a bar.
You read some obscure passage.
Then pretend- Pawn it off as your own...
As your own idea just to impress some girls?
Embarrass my friend?
See, the sad thing
about a guy like you is, in 50 years...
you're gonna stall doin'
some thinkin' on your own.
You're gonna come up with the fact that
there are two certainties in life.
One: Don't do that.
And two: You dropped 150 grand
on a fuckin' education...
you could've got for $1.50 in late charges
at the public library.
Yeah, but I will have a degree...
and you'll be servin' my kids fries at a
drive through on our way to a skiing trip.
Maybe, but at least I won't be unoriginal.
If you have a problem with that, we could
step outside. We could figure it out.
No, man, there's no problem. it's cool.
- It's cool?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
- Damn right, it's cool.
How do you like me now?
My boy's wicked smart.
You spend three minutes in this fuckin'
place, you run into a barney, huh?
There it is.
- Nice to meet you.
- They were fine, man.
I was gonna close the deal,
but then Chuck- Billy insulted one of'em...
The heavyset girl said I had a receding
hairline, and I was a few pounds overweight.
And I was, like, “Go fuck yourself.â€
I swallowed a bug.
Hi.
- You're an idiot.
- What?
You're an idiot. I've been sitting
over there for 45 minutes...
waiting for you to come and talk to me.
But I'm tired now, and I have to go home.
I couldn't sit there any more
waiting for you.
- I'm Will.
- Skylar.
- Skylar.
- Oh, and by the way...
that guy over there- Michael Bolton clone...
He wasn't sitting with us, so to speak.
- I know. I kinda got that impression.
- Good. Okay.
Well, I've got to go.
Gotta get up early and waste some more
money on my overpriced education.
- No, I didn't mean you.
- That's all right.
There's my number.
Maybe we can go out for coffee sometime.
All right, yeah. Maybe we could just
get together and eat a bunch of caramels.
- What do you mean?
- When you think about it...
- it's as arbitrary as drinkin' coffee.
- Yeah. Okay.
Right, then.
Oh, come on. You're kidding.
Yo!
- Fuck you, bitch!
- Fuck you.
There goes them fuckin' barneys
right now with his skiin' trip.
- Hold up.
- We should've beat that old bitch's ass.
Do you like apples?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
I got her number!
How do you like them apples?
Excuse me?
Is this the Buildings and Grounds office?
Yeah. What can I do for you?
I just need the name
of a student who works here.
- No students work for me.
- Could you please check?
I have this guy who works in my building.
- He's about this high.
- Which one is your building?
- Two.
- Two. Building two.
- If anything was stolen, I should know.
- No, it's nothing like that.
I just need his name.
I can't give you his name
unless you have a complaint.
- This is Professor Lambeau.
- And this is Professor Hayes.
Tom, please.
This is important. Please.
Willy didn't show for work today.
Got this job through his P.O.
You can call him.
- P.O.?
- Yeah. Parole officer.
Thank you.
Asshole.
There is a lengthy legal precedent,
Your Honor, going back to 1789...
whereby a defendant can claim self-defense
against an agent of the government...
if that act is deemed a defense against
tyranny, a defense of liberty.
