1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,450
- [Brian] I don't know.

2
00:00:01,450 --> 00:00:03,100
I'd be a lot better off if
I would have studied more

3
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:04,700
when I was growing up, you know?

4
00:00:05,570 --> 00:00:06,810
But you know where it all went wrong

5
00:00:06,810 --> 00:00:09,510
was the day they started the spelling bee.

6
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:10,950
'Cause up until that day, I was an idiot,

7
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:13,017
but nobody else knew, you know?

8
00:00:13,017 --> 00:00:15,870
Then the spelling bee day popped up.

9
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:18,270
"All right kids, up against the wall.

10
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:20,210
"It's time for public humiliation.

11
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:24,150
"Spell a word wrong, sit down
in front of your friends."

12
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:25,570
You know, that's great for little egos.

13
00:00:25,570 --> 00:00:27,930
"Hey, look at me, I'm a moron.

14
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:30,240
"I wasn't even close.

15
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,619
"I was using numbers and stuff."

16
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:37,440
That's why I admired that
kid who spelled it wrong

17
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,830
on purpose so he could sit down, you know?

18
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:40,670
He knew he wasn't gonna win

19
00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:42,470
so why stand there for three hours?

20
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:45,980
First round, cat, K-A-T, I'm outta here.

21
00:00:49,330 --> 00:00:51,980
Then as he passed you, "Haha,
I know there's two Ts."

22
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:58,050
I remember my teacher asked me,

23
00:00:58,050 --> 00:01:00,810
"Brian, what's the I before E rule?"

24
00:01:01,854 --> 00:01:03,200
"Huh.

25
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Um, I before E always."

26
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,290
"What are you, an idiot, Brian?"

27
00:01:12,290 --> 00:01:13,123
"Apparently."

28
00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:17,200
So she explains it, "No
Brian, it's I before E

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,830
"except after C, and when sounding like A,

30
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:22,630
"as in neighbor and weigh,
and on weekends and holidays

31
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:24,690
"and all throughout May,
and you'll always be wrong

32
00:01:24,690 --> 00:01:25,940
"no matter what you say."

33
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:30,030
"Oh, that's a hard rule.

34
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:32,400
"That's a rough rule."

35
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:36,490
Plurals were hard too.

36
00:01:36,490 --> 00:01:38,540
"Brian, how do you make a word a plural?"

37
00:01:39,591 --> 00:01:41,010
"Oh.

38
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:42,770
"You put a S.

39
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:45,191
"You put a S at the end of it."

40
00:01:45,191 --> 00:01:46,024
"When?"

41
00:01:47,442 --> 00:01:48,275
"Huh.

42
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:51,880
"On weekends and holidays."

43
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:56,470
"No Brian, no. Let me show you."

44
00:01:56,470 --> 00:01:58,320
So she asked this kid who
knew everything, Irwin.

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,130
"Irwin, Irwin, what is the plural for ox?"

46
00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:04,640
"Oxen. The farmer used his oxen."

47
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,671
"Brian?"

48
00:02:05,671 --> 00:02:06,504
"What?"

49
00:02:07,516 --> 00:02:09,681
"Brian, what's the plural for box?"

50
00:02:09,681 --> 00:02:10,514
"Boxen.

51
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,100
"I bought two boxen of donuts."

52
00:02:21,222 --> 00:02:22,280
"No, no, Brian. No.

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,553
"Let's try another one.

54
00:02:24,553 --> 00:02:26,390
"Irwin, what is the plural for goose?"

55
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:31,390
"Geese. I saw a flock of geese."

56
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,043
"Brian?"

57
00:02:33,043 --> 00:02:33,876
"What?"

58
00:02:34,770 --> 00:02:36,570
"What's the plural for moose?"

59
00:02:39,710 --> 00:02:43,640
"Moosen! I saw a flock of moosen!

60
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,700
"There are many of 'em, many, much moosen,

61
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:50,800
"out in the woods. In the
woodes, in the woodsen.

62
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,880
"The meese wanted food.
Food is to eat nizzit.

63
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,526
"The meese wanted food
in the woodingizzit.

64
00:02:56,526 --> 00:02:58,448
"In the food in the woodingizzit."

65
00:02:58,448 --> 00:03:02,720
"Brian, Brian, you're an imbecile."

66
00:03:04,588 --> 00:03:05,588
"Imbecilen."

67
00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:08,080
"What are you, speaking German, Brian?"

68
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320
"German. Germane! Jermaine Jackson!

69
00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:12,580
"Jackson Five, Tito!"

70
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:14,428
"Brian, what the hell
are you talking about?"

71
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:16,690
"I don't know. I don't know really."
