Hey! You're the tree. Uh, you can eat lunch in here if you want. It's against school...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Mr. Freeman:
[to Melinda]
Hey! You're the tree. Uh, you can eat lunch in here if you want. It's against school rules, but I'm kind of a rebel.
[gives Melinda a sheet of paper]
Mr. Freeman:
Wow, uh. It's not a place mat. The rule is if you're gonna be in here, you need to be working, so choose your weapon.
[puts some pencils in front of Melinda]
Mr. Freeman:
Do something, anything. Hey, does this inspire you?
[points to the radio]
Mr. Freeman:
No?
[changes the radio station]
Mr. Freeman:
Hmm?
[Melinda nods her head]
Mr. Freeman:
So are you going trick or treating tonight?
Melinda Sordino:
No.
Mr. Freeman:
Oh. You don't like candy?
Melinda Sordino:
I'm too old.
Mr. Freeman:
Oh, right. Yeah, I got kids, so I guess I never get too old.
Melinda Sordino:
Last year, we were witches.
Mr. Freeman:
Who's we?
Melinda Sordino:
My ex-best friends.
[angrily crumbles up her drawing]
Mr. Freeman:
What are you doing? No, no! You gotta give things a chance.
[looks at the drawing]
Mr. Freeman:
Close your eyes. Just do it. I'm the teacher. Can you picture a tree? Any tree.
[sees Melinda's eyebrows bend]
Mr. Freeman:
There it is. It's burned in your retina. You got it. Do it.
