You know Mrs. Phillips,

Mr. Holland ... Doctor ...
Dr. Clark, can you tell us
how many of these children will
lead a normal life?
Children who are here
three wind rel Categories cat?:
the? ducables the am? liorables
and? s counterparts.
Most in the second cat? Gory.
How can lead a life
Normal? What percentage?
What is "normal"?
The normality? is relative.
If they threw us
in a populated world? Einstein,
would we look smart?
How yardstick
does it measure the destiny?
A intelligence or needs?
L? is not the question.
L? is the question, Dr. Lombardi.
You know that the administration
has changed ?.
We love ? we believe? clear? s.
We love ? we think
will do our best for these children.
But the aid application? Standard.
Dr. Clark knows we croulons
in requests for assistance.
Help for blind children ...
Deaf. He knows.
I think these children need
? be helped? s. But n? Very well.
We know what we can
expect these institutes.
We can expect
r? tangible results.
Yes, but Dr. Clark
has only been here six months.
What I r? Proclaims
exactly?
Money
for the qualified personnel ?.
I r? Proclaims the premises.
Waiting list
has 500 children.
We will put them on the roof.
I r? Proclaims workshops
o? most? g? s
will work out.
The question of Mr. Holland
is tr? s relevant.
How many of these children
can you really help?
And how much will end as
l? vegetables, like the little ... Reuben?
I do not believe it ? your "l? vegetables."
And I do not avilirai children
saying how "r? ussiront"
in our soci? t ?.
But they have the right to? Be helped? S.
You do you realize what
State? s think for these children?
- $ 2,700 per year.
- For patient.
It is? Standard. But less compar?
? what? s thinking in roads,
monuments,
in? Leisure facilities.
Damn, it's a disease!
As polio.
And this is not a rare disease.
You go account
five million Am? Ricans
suffer?
Anyone can? Be reached.
Sister of the pr? President has? T ?.
We would like to help these children.
All children.
We have no pr? Jug ?.
In? S your you? R, Dr. Lombardi?
The counselor Conna? my feeling.
We conduct a acharn fight?
to survive.
I prefer fetal rerais spend money
toward? for these children
? entered have dinner of the children
Exceptionally dou? s.
Those who become scientists
and g? ned tomorrow.
I know ... I seem not to
have heart, is not it?
But it is my belief.
It is? Emptied you believe everything
what you read in the press.
It's time to go.
Give me the maximum
copies of the budget,
Mr. Goodman.
Willingly.
You know...
I have something? tell you...
I find it wonderful,
your? s dedication to these people.
This is not wonderful.
I like my job,

Incongruous reason,
by these days.
I like my job.
Thank you to? Be coming.
I would go around again
your premises.
I accompany you.
Thank you, Dr. Clark.
It was a pleasure.
I'll show you the workshop
o? most work? g? s.
I take my journ? E.
I install? E at the Pavilion D.
Why do I d? do it ?
Sit ... anywhere ?.
There is a pi? Ge? ? avoid:
too attached? one child.
Other risk
to realize
and feel excluded.
There is worse.
The danger for him Reuben-m? Me.
I have often thought? than
if I had a child ?, attard
I pr? f? rerais
seriously ill,
not like Reuben.
Children like Reuben,
borderline cases,
which resemble other
are our worst problem? me.
They are more aware
to? be rejection? s.
His parents refused? the fact
that? was attard?
up? tr? s late.
They permit? play
with normal children ...
put him? the eye school.
Try to imagine the exp? Rience
it has d? ? be for Reuben.
Then they d? Cid? that best
? was hiding it ...
From the prot? Ger.
From the prot? Ger in the world.
Self-m? Me.

I know you do not Love Me.
But I'll tell you a secret.
I like you.
I know what you Endures.
You do not believe me,
but it's true.
I know that others do to you
die hard and tease you.
But I can not do anything.
You, you can.
Tell me, Reuben.
I beg you, tell me.
Miss Fogarty

Let him go? table,

Discipline

M? Me for these children?
Particular surely for these children.
Some freedom? is lost

Living with others allow it

Yes, m? Me so.
Waiting,
I would try to help Reuben.

Why did you give up?
Arr? Tez!
You do not know
what I feel.
You do not know anything.
Excuse me. But I fight
for Reuben.
He can not fight.
You fight for him ...
I fight for him
since his birth.
Since it shows the
? doctors.
All said:
"You can not help it."
I fought my husband.
I fought the m? Doctors ...
and the world for him.
Why give up now?
Do you know what it is
for Reuben and me
to? be together?
To see her child
go crying
because other
were mocked? s him?
Do you know what it is
to hide
when one of the tour?
Do you know what it is to stay
alone in a pi? this with him
and know that if I stay well
alone with him all my life,
one day I will die
and he will go
in an institute.
But it will be too late ...
to adapt.
It is better for him
? be with children like him.
I m? Ri ...
It is my belief.
Tell him, Dr. Clark ...
Tell him ...
? which point
Reuben needed to see.
I do not want her to see him!
I can not see him.
You think
I do not love enough?
But I love her too.
Mom, it's Reuben!
II plays.
Come on, Jennie.

Mr. Holland ... Doctor ...
Dr. Clark, can you tell us
how many of these children will
lead a normal life?
Children who are here
three wind rel Categories cat?:
the? ducables the am? liorables
and? s counterparts.
Most in the second cat? Gory.
How can lead a life
Normal? What percentage?
What is "normal"?
The normality? is relative.
If they threw us
in a populated world? Einstein,
would we look smart?
How yardstick
does it measure the destiny?
A intelligence or needs?
L? is not the question.
L? is the question, Dr. Lombardi.
You know that the administration
has changed ?.
We love ? we believe? clear? s.
We love ? we think
will do our best for these children.
But the aid application? Standard.
Dr. Clark knows we croulons
in requests for assistance.
Help for blind children ...
Deaf. He knows.
I think these children need
? be helped? s. But n? Very well.
We know what we can
expect these institutes.
We can expect
r? tangible results.
Yes, but Dr. Clark
has only been here six months.
What I r? Proclaims
exactly?
Money
for the qualified personnel ?.
I r? Proclaims the premises.
Waiting list
has 500 children.
We will put them on the roof.
I r? Proclaims workshops
o? most? g? s
will work out.
The question of Mr. Holland
is tr? s relevant.
How many of these children
can you really help?
And how much will end as
l? vegetables, like the little ... Reuben?
I do not believe it ? your "l? vegetables."
And I do not avilirai children
saying how "r? ussiront"
in our soci? t ?.
But they have the right to? Be helped? S.
You do you realize what
State? s think for these children?
- $ 2,700 per year.
- For patient.
It is? Standard. But less compar?
? what? s thinking in roads,

There is worse.
The danger for him Reuben-m? Me.
I have often thought? than

not like Reuben.
Children like Reuben,
borderline cases,
which resemble other
are our worst problem? me.
They are more aware
to? be rejection? s.
His parents refused? the fact
that? was attard?
up? tr? s late.
They permit? play
with normal children ...
put him? the eye school.
Try to imagine the exp? Rience

I know you do not Love Me.
But I'll tell you a secret.
I like you.
I know what you Endures.
You do not believe me,
but it's true.
I know that others do to you
die hard and tease you.
But I can not do anything.
You, you can.
Tell me, Reuben.
I beg you, tell me.

Are you well s? R

Discipline

M? Me for these children?
Particular surely for these children.
Some freedom? is lost
for Reuben. May? Be? never.
He will find compensation

Living with others allow it

M? Me if it is never

Yes, m? Me so.
Waiting,
I would try to help Reuben.
I am s? R.

Look, mom,

It is tr? S good.
Make another one.
Why did you give up?
Arr? Tez!
You do not know
what I feel.
You do not know anything.
Excuse me. But I fight
for Reuben.
He can not fight.
You fight for him ...
I fight for him
since his birth.
Since it shows the
? doctors.
All said:
"You can not help it."
I fought my husband.
I fought the m? Doctors ...
and the world for him.
Why give up now?
Do you know what it is
for Reuben and me
to? be together?
To see her child
go crying
because other
were mocked? s him?
Do you know what it is
to hide
when one of the tour?
Do you know what it is to stay
alone in a pi? this with him
and know that if I stay well
alone with him all my life,
one day I will die
and he will go
in an institute.
But it will be too late ...
to adapt.
It is better for him
? be with children like him.
I m? Ri ...
It is my belief.
Tell him, Dr. Clark ...
Tell him ...
? which point
Reuben needed to see.
I do not want her to see him!
I can not see him.
You think
I do not love enough?
But I love her too.
Mom, it's Reuben!
II plays.
Come on, Jennie.
Mom !
Put your tongue against your palate ...

Move back your tongue.

I wish it were dead.
In the lead? S out there,
I thought that? ?to.
I wanted to leave the road.
I would d ?.
It's easy to forget ...
the plans I had for him,
the doctors with whom
I drove,
without believing any of them.
Easy to forget
that I ruin? to find
an r? response, a miracle.
Easy to forget that it's me
who did the only thing? do :
over there on the left?.
My life became a g? Chis,
since that day.
I will arrange the transfer.
I will be going? S out there, if necessary.
Pass me the Crowthorn institute.
Crowthorn, New Jersey.

One lady port? complaint.
We were calling? S.

It must? Be hard with these kids.
My sister in law was a kid
which is not s? r.
She's ticklish
on the subject.
She put? the hospital.
Do not bother me anymore.
I'm leaving.
I thought I could help Reuben.
I have? T? unable.
I believe...
that we must do? the id? e ...

no chance.
What were you looking here?
J '? Silent? search
a place ...
o? you might need

I wanted to help these children.
What do you expect? What for
n '? your not you in music?
Music ?
? is not enough.
So what ?
You do not know
how they feel.
Every Wednesday after? S afternoon ...

They wait, that's all.
I do not know !?
The people who work here
do not know how they feel?
Those people who lav? diapers

Who waited 20 years with them,
and nobody came ...
They do not know !..
But you know...
You and the m? Re Reuben!

Take the hits? their place !
Breastfeed? your breast!
Give them your love.
It's not enough.
They need them most? A.
But I do not have it.
This is? A ... Run!
Get the hell out of here !
Find good excuses!
But Hear me well.
I could not do anything for Reuben.
Nothing at all. I will not be able
perhaps? never be anything for him.
It will be perhaps? Be

But I prefer f? Re? Chouer fighting
