Episode 8: "Ludovico Goes Back to School"
-
- Hello kids! How was your first day of school?
-
- What did you do today?
-
- In Biology class, we were shown a freaky thing!
-
- How freaky is this!
-
-Let me see! Let me see!
-
- Ludoviquito! Give me that magazine!
-
- Did you see it all?
-
- No, just bunnie slippers and a big spider
-
- Did the new Miss show it well?
-
- She's not bad, but the next one seems to show more
-
- What about you, Junior?
-
- During recess, I played with my new buddies.
-
- So, who's going to give me his lunch every day?
-
-I am, I am!
-
- Mom, can you make me 46 sandwiches for tomorrow?
-
They're for my new buddies
-
- Honey, you love to share
-
- we're so proud of you
-
- I made some beans germinate and got an A
-
- So?
-
- Bibi, you have any idea how many kids
-
would love to have some beans to eat
-
and here you are wasting them!
-
Why can't you be a normal girl??
-
- Being here reminds me of my time at school
-
I still remember Miss Abelarda
-
She knew me better than my parents
-
- Ludovico, how come your parents send you to school?
-
Can't they see you're a total idiot?
-
- I don't think they've realized
-
- What would you tell her if you saw her again?
-
- I'd tell her: "now I am where I want to be"
-
- Where is that?
-
- Away from you, witch!
-
Miss Abelarda!
-
- So, your kids come to my elementary school?
-
I am the new substitute teacher
-
The previous one died suddenly and no one knows why
-
- I...someone hid her heart pills
-
but it was an accident
-
Well, that's what I heard
-
I was not even there, I did not even see the 25 mg pills that fell to the sink
-
- How did you recognize me? You still remember me?
-
- I swore I would never forget you
-
Firstly, to prove one day that you are a good-for-nothing!
-
- You had a good eye for that
-
- I had it, I had it.
-
But thanks to Ludovico I lost my good eye
-
and now I only have the bad eye left
-
- Forgive me.
-
Since that day I haven't touched a yo-yo again!
-
- Secondly, a few years ago I realized that you should never
-
have received your elementary graduation diploma
-
- But why?!
-
- You didn't finish your last school work satisfactorily!
-
- The clown-lamp-napkin-holder for mother's day?
-
- that one!
-
and if you don't show up tomorrow to finish
-
I'll void you elementary graduation diploma!
-
- Come back to elementary school?? Me??
-
- Welcome back to P.Lush City Heroes Elementary School!
-
- What are you all doing here so early?
-
It's not even 7 am
-
- That's what your family and friends are for
-
to be there for you every time you're humiliated
-
- One day, one day.
-
- It's so much fun working here!
-
That's the only reason I tolerate my miserable salary!
-
- Excelsa, don't poke your nose in this
-
- That's impossilbe
-
- Look at the bright side, neighbor
-
Women love men in uniform
-
- Going back to school is already too hard for me!
-
- But you know what the positive thing about this is?
-
- No, what is it?
-
- I don't know either, that's why I'm asking you
-
- You have everything you need?
-
- Everything, including your useless kids
-
- At least Federica is certain that they're her kids
-
- One day, one day you'll see
-
- Know one thing: Ludovico will finish that work
-
and will finish elementary school today
-
I'll go through that like a mature grownup
-
- That's the way to go
-
- That's my dad!
-
- Federica!! You forgot to put animal crackers in my lunch pack!!
-
- I told you I wanted animal crackers!
-
- that's my dad
-
- Good morning!
-
Kids: I want to introduce you to your new classmate
-
- Hi kids
-
My name's Ludovico. Plush
-
I like soccer, I have no pets but I have 3 kids
-
Any question?
-
Later...
-
- ...And in the end you light a cigarette.
-
And that's how babies are made.
-
Any other question?
-
-Thanks Ludovico!
-
You can have a seat
-
"That's how I went back to elementary school,
-
the place where I learned to follow rules"
-
- And after being beaten up by the other class,
-
I stopped making jokes about them
-
-Why?
-
- I learned to respect rules
-
- Are you enjoying your first day at school?
-
- yes, yes.
-
- I'll be watching you very closely.
-
- Don't come too close, please.
-
- Are you threatening me?
-
- No, but from far you can't see your mustache
-
- I will not let you finish elementary school
-
At the first truancy, at the first tardiness I'll do it
-
So watch out
-
- Everything will be okay, dad
-
Besides, this is another chance to spend more time as a family
-
- Bibi, don't speak nonsense
-
If God wanted kids to spend more time with their parents
-
He wouldn't have given us TV
-
Why can't you be a normal girl??
-
- I'll show you how things work here, dad
-
First, you have to find someone younger than you
-
to take advantage of him
-
- No, that's awful
-
-Bibi, just look at some the best singers, they do a perfect job
-
- Look, start with that kid
-
- Good idea!
-
- Don't do it, dad!
-
- Watch and learn
-
- You! Sing right now!
-
- Please, leave me alone
-
- Sing, I say!
-
Stand up now!
-
- Don't do it, dad!
-
It's cruel!
-
- Stand up!
-
- I told you that kid was cruel
-
- This is a nightmare
-
My only consolation is to see your brother getting adapted to school
-
Sometimes it's difficult with adopted children
-
But Junior is a total hit
-
- Don't hit me! Stop! don't hit me!
-
- Are you really 12?
-
- Yes
-
- Why do you have a beard, then?
-
- why are you so stupid?
-
- Are you having fun, son?
-
- Who's that man?
-
- I am his dad
-
- You bring your dad to school?
-
- No! He's really not my dad
-
He's my adopted father, but I just met him today
-
- Sure, sure
-
- The new kid bring his dad to defend him!
-
- No, no. I'm here to finish elementary school
-
- Dad!!
-
- The new kid has a slow father!
-
- I'm not slow
-
I just didn't finish the clown-lamp-napkin-holder for mother's day
-
- The new kid has a slow father!
-
- You see what you do, dad??
-
- Calm down, Junior.
-
What's the worst thing that could happen?
-
- That's what you said I was adopted
-
- Enough!!
-
- Let me go! Let me go!
-
- What are you doing to this defenseless girl?
-
- Nothing, I was just defending myself from this monster
-
- Monster??
-
Listen you brainless
-
I am Curly Top, and I'm here to make you stop
-
- This girl is incapable of harming anyone
-
- She's a liar!
-
- How dare you say that!
-
- It was awful!
-
- You liar!
-
-Enough! To the principal's office!
-
- Kids, this is Miss Yadira
-
- Good morning, Miss Yadira!
-
- Ludovico, when she comes everyone gets up!
-
- I'm sure about that!
-
- Get up!
-
- Be careful with Ludovico
-
Don't take your eyes off him
-
- I promise
-
- I'm talking to her
-
- Be clearer.
-
"And that's how I met Miss Yadira
-
and since that moment I knew..."
-
- Miss Yadira, the new boy is talking without moving his lips and he's scaring me
-
- Ludovico, leave your classmates alone!
-
- Hey, if you don't leave me alone..
-
- What, what are you going to do?
-
- Kids, quiet.
-
You've got just 1 hr to finish your clown-lamp-napkin-holder. Get to work
-
- It's beautiful, Curly Top.
-
Great job
-
- Here's mine, Miss
-
- Ludovico! I'm speechless!
-
Your work is great, it's so versatile it can be anything
-
A flower vase, a unicorn or a galaxy or...
-
-Or a piece of crap!
-
-Exactly, a piece of crap
-
- I'll tell Miss Abelarda to process your diploma immediately!
-
- Before this class ends you'll be a new man
-
Congratulations!
-
I did it! I did it!
-
- Not so fast. P.Lush
-
I'm not done with you yet
-
See you at the break
-
- The break?
-
- Dad??
-
- Not so loud! Curly Top is looking for me
-
Here, buy me a soda at the cafeteria
-
- Dad, you can't do this. Think about us.
-
-You're right.
-
-Here, buy something for yourself, too
-
- I meant that you think about the example you're setting
-
- What would my brothers think if they were here?
-
- Be careful with Curly Top
-
- Dad, you can't spend the rest of your life in that container
-
- why not, some people do it
-
- You have to face your problems
-
- You're weird sister is right.
-
I must confront that little monster as a man
-
- Push me out!
-
- I need to talk to you!
-
- You finally left your hiding place, sissy?
-
- Yes, and I want you to know that you look
-
like a wet bread
-
- I don't care
-
- You have fish eyes
-
- I don't care
-
- You have a face of pus-like follicle
-
I don't care
-
-I'm sure you wet your bed at night!
-
- Dad, but you do that too.
-
-You're right
-
But I'm sure you soil your underwear!
-
Well, I do that, too.
-
But you look like a flea!
-
- I don't care.
-
- Al right! You win!
-
But let me tell you one thing:
-
When you grow up you'll marry someone like me!
-
That's it! that's it
-
- You just made cry the cruelest girl!
-
- and you're the most hated boy by Miss Abelarda!
-
- You're our hero!
-
- What happened, dad?
-
- Kids, this is a special day that will last forever in the family's memory
-
Today, we stop being humiliated and now we humiliate
-
At least in this school
-
- It was not about that
-
- Shut up, Bibi!
-
My dad is a hero now
-
-Why can't you be a normal girl?
-
- Now you can do whatever you want
-
- Give me your sandwich!
-
- But he's your friend and so am I
-
- You too? Give me your sandwich then.
-
- I don't have one
-
- give it to me!
-
- Honey! You forgot your sandwich!
-
-Here, you can have mine, but bring your own tomorrow
-
Now, give me your sandwich!
-
- Oh, are you liking school?
-
Did you make new friends?
-
- Hey! Ludovico's mom brought him lunch!!
-
- Hey! I'm not his mother!
-
- It's not his fault you look so old
-
- What! I'm a young woman!
-
- Women hit Ludovico!!
-
- Don't mess up with him!
-
- Hey, I can defend myself
-
- Girls defend Ludovico!!
-
- You see what you do, mom?
-
- Quiet! Don't meddle in this!
-
- Enough! This is no way to treat a woman
-
- She's right. She's too old.
-
- You'll see when you get home!
-
- Kids! What is going on here?
-
- Who started?
-
- Ludovico.
-
- This is the last straw! You again!
-
- He forced us to beat him, knowing he would hurt our small hands
-
- Punish him!
-
- Please don't. I finished my clown-lamp-napkin-holder.
-
I earned my diploma
-
- That's what you think.
-
Look what I do with your diploma
-
I warned you!
-
You got into trouble
-
You'll never graduate from elementary school!
-
- You said the same thing before the break
-
- Hold on!
-
-Miss Yadira, what's this?
-
- Principal Yadira
-
- I'm from the Department of Educaton
-
We know about the cruel way you treat the students
-
I'm part of a secret operation
-
And we have evidence to arrest you
-
- Ha ha! They caught you!
-
-Shut up!
-
- You can't treat your students like that!
-
"And at that moment, Miss Yadira became my hero"
-
- Especially an idiot like him.
-
- Take her away!
-
-You'll pay for this, Ludovico!
-
- Honey! Everything was fixed in the end
-
- Not exactly
-
- I didn't throw the 25 mg heart pills that fell to the sink by accident!
-
- That brat!
-
Now we'll have to get him from jail
-
- Tomorrow! The recess is not over yet.
-
- Blend in
-
My turn!
-
- My turn!
-
- My turn!
