NETFLIX PRESENTS
AN ORIGINAL MOVISTAR+ SERIES
[María] What colour is this folder?
[students] Green.
That's right.
And if a student is late for class,
which is bound to happen,
I will ask you
what the colour of the folder is
and you will say the colour "red".
- Understood?
- Yes.
[María] You're late, but come in.
Right. Let's continue.
In philosophy, there are currents,
such as positivism,
that don't admit a reality
that is not a fact.
Philosophers like Auguste Comte
believe there are things
that go without saying
and do not admit any discrepancy,
like, for example
the colour of this folder.
You there, what colour is this folder?
It's red.
Hm-mm. And you?
I'd say red.
What colour is it?
You, the girl with the short hair.
It's red.
[María] Mm. You?
It's red.
Red.
It's red.
- Red.
- Red.
- Mm.
- [male student] Red.
And you?
Um It's red, right?
- [laugh]
- [indistinct chatter]
[female student] It's clearly green!
This guy. I'd hate to be him.
[opening theme music]
SCHOOL OF FISH
- [laughter]
- [indistinct chatter]
[María] Silence.
[indistinct chatter]
Come on. May I continue?
It's clear the colour of the folder
is green.
And you were direct witnesses
to humankind's weakness
when subjected to environmental pressure,
even when it comes to physical perception.
Okay, okay, I did realise it was a game.
I mean, the question felt weird,
because the folder is green, obviously.
But when everyone said "red",
you also said "red".
Because I thought it was an exercise that
According to Nietzsche,
the world can be divided
into two types of people.
There are those who follow
their own desires,
and then those who follow
the desires of others.
The first are strong
and won't allow anyone to govern them.
And the second ones, well, they are weak,
and just do whatever others say and do.
But not to worry.
This is everyday existence.
We are very submissive
and end up accepting
the ideas of the majority.
In Germany,
people were even capable of believing
what Nazi propaganda said
over and over again.
Kant said with the utmost bitterness:
"It is humans who are the only animal
needing a master in order to live".
Shit, have you seen the online campus?
Our Culture class is in room 110.
It's a very small room.
We better go over there,
otherwise we won't get a seat.
No. We have our breakfast,
relax a bit and then we'll go.
- We hear you.
- I don't know about you,
but I was looking forward
to getting stabbed in the back
by my fellow classmates.
Are you mad about that?
Me? Why would I be mad?
It's an excellent exercise,
and Bolaño is the best professor ever.
Come on, tell me
what really happened, though.
I mean, did she know that I was gonna be
late for class or something?
No, no, no, she told us that,
if anyone was late,
she'd ask us what the colour
of the green folder was
and we'd have to say it was "red".
Mm. Mm.
The exercise is really good,
- if you think about it.
- [Minerva] Yeah.
Well, it's a bit cruel.
Well, not to me,
Right, then, I'm off to class
or there won't be any room later and
Save us a spot.
- Is there really a class in 110?
- No clue.
- [laughs]
- Oti!
- [laughs]
- You love your games, yeah?
[laughs] Bolaño does even more.
[coughs]
Olam shel Shalom, shalva lekulam.
And now, please repeat with me: Olam
- Olam.
- shel Shalom
- Shel shalom.
- shalva
- Shalva.
- lekul
Lekul.
- am.
- Am.
Let's do it one more time.
[man] I just don't know
what to do with these kids.
I ask them questions,
and they won't answer! Is it my face?
[grunts]
Dude, I can't believe how chill you are.
I mean, after that big moment
Bolaño just put you through.
Yeah, dude, I get it.
Am I supposed to be nervous?
No, man, but, first she doesn't correct
your paper, and now this
- What's that woman got against you?
- I don't know,
geniuses are a little weird.
You're criticising her,
but you played along.
That did annoy me.
You could've warned me
that she was going to fuck with me.
You pretended to be my friend,
but then, gotcha!
Come on, man, don't be angry.
Dude, let's have a beer tonight.
We'll relax a bit.
Okay. Where?
At Minerva's place.
She's having a party there.
She has an amazing rooftop.
Well, um, okay, I'll let you know,
it depends on my work schedule.
[groans] Dude!
What are you doing in a fucking car park?
I mean, just be like Minerva,
go quit your job.
Okay, fucking go.
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me, Professor Bolaño.
What do you want now?
I want you to listen to me.
I deserve it after the stunt you pulled
in class today.
Excuse me?
You've got something against me.
You saw I wasn't in class,
and you thought:
"If he's late, then I'm gonna catch him
with the folder trick."
[laughs] Wow. I caught you.
You're disconcerting, Mr. Rubio.
You look like a clever person.
Yet you seem blocked.
Well, you're doing a fine fucking job
unblocking me.
See, don't you think
it was a bit humiliating
to embarrass me in front of everyone?
What the fuck are you doing here?
What am I doing here? What are you? Huh?
It happens with some of my students.
I think they're intelligent,
but then the truth hits me in the face.
Great, fucking great.
Now you're insulting me?
- Insult?
- Yes, you're saying I'm stupid.
But look, I'm not a fucking asshole.
I mean, you used your little act
to make them think that you're the best,
and I'm fine with that.
But just know that
if you keep humiliating people,
- you're gonna end up alone.
- [chuckles]
But I guess that doesn't matter.
You're probably used to
being fucking alone.
- Hello, Rai.
- Hey.
How are things? How's Schopenhauer?
We haven't got to him.
[laughs] I also know a little bit,
um, of philosophy.
Oh, I'm sure you do.
Your mother's in the garden.
She's distracted.
[kisses]
[kisses]
[laughs]
Wait, where is my Saint Peter of Verona?
Mum!
Mum, is it true
you're stealing my painting?
Henry, leave that.
Stealing it? How dare you?
You who took it from your grandparents
when they were out of town.
Excuse me, I "saved" the painting.
Your husband would have sold it
for peanuts.
Are you trying
to justify the fact that you went
into your grandparents' house to steal?
- Henry, put it back.
- Don't you touch it.
Shall we all calm down?
It so happens that an Italian expert
in baroque art
is going to the auction house in Madrid.
Júlia wants him to certify whether
it could be attributed to Claudio Coello.
- Have you heard of him?
- [laughs] Okay, two things.
- Mm.
- Júlia can go fuck herself.
- She's a bitch.
- He can't talk like that.
- He's insulting his sister.
- And fuck it,
- because this is bullshit.
- Oh, beautiful.
Is that the philosophy they teach you?
You need a fucking shrink, Rai.
Can you both shut up, please?
Victòria, this could be
attributed to Coello.
I told you, it's very similar to the
Saint Dominic in the Budapest Museum.
Forget the damn guy from Italy.
Rai, it's only a man
with a sword stuck into his head.
- Go take the dog for a walk, man!
- Henry.
Okay.
Why are you suddenly interested in art?
You never go near the auction house.
Victòria, leave the painting here.
And you are coming to the opening
of the new exhibit tomorrow, okay?
It won't hurt you show a little interest
in your mom's work, got that?
And I don't like you
talking to her like that.
- [sighs]
- You'll be there,
promise me, Rai.
I'll go.
- See you tomorrow.
- See you.
No, Glòria, I know nothing about
classical music and that kind of thing.
- You go.
- Oh, honestly, I'm tired of arguing.
I'll stay here. It's all right.
Enjoy the concert, honey.
- You look beautiful, Glòria.
- Thank you. At least you say something.
Hey! What's the first thing I said?
That you look lovely.
Your father won't join me
for a piano concert.
Dad, come on.
Not you too!
You're really going to get me angry
if you keep going.
You try and calm him down,
I can't, and I'm going to be late.
I have to go too.
You're staying here, Dad?
You're really going to let her go alone?
Oh, yeah, I have no interest
in classical music.
I was a turner.
I know about soccer, okay?
But don't make me go to some elevated
and fancy stupid place.
Here we go.
Is it written anywhere
that a turner is less than a pianist.
You're just mad she's working
and you're not.
Yes, okay?
You tell me what I bring
to this relationship.
Come on, man, you get a pension.
You pay for dinner.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but I spend the whole day here cleaning,
tidying up,
so as not to end up as usual,
stuck in front of the television
like some good for nothing.
Stop it with this working class bullshit,
okay, Dad?
When you go on like this,
you remind us all that we're poor.
That shit again?
I'm allowed to grumble
about not having any salary.
Shit, so am I. I got it from you.
Every time I see a rich person,
I want to puke.
I can't stand to see them comfortable,
and when they have problems,
I love to watch them suffer.
I'm not sure if that makes me a bad person
but, you know, fuck it.
[music playing]
- Like, all your life.
- [laughs]
Look who I found downstairs.
Hey!
- How are you?
- [kisses]
Fine, yeah?
- This place is great, isn't it?
- [kisses]
- You like it? I decorated it with Etienne.
- Yes, a lot.
- Hi.
- Etienne, this is Pol.
- How are you?
- Nice to meet you.
He's a great guy. Fun, French, a pianist
- So he has it all?
- He's very good.
Yeah. [laughs]
Great. Who's Rai talking to?
To Amy.
Here, come, you've got to meet her.
- She's a character.
- Oh.
- Amy, this is my friend, Pol.
- I just don't know
Hi.
- Hi. Hello. [kisses]
- Hey.
[kisses] Amy O'Connor.
I'm from Eugene, Oregon, it's
Careful with Amy,
she keeps a gun under her pillow.
Oh, my God! Rai, listen.
- You don't understand what I was saying.
- No, of course.
I said that guns in the States
are a constitutional right of the people.
- It's like a tradition.
- Sure, a tradition.
- Like Halloween, right?
- [scoffs]
I know it's not the same thing,
but you don't understand,
because you've never been there.
Amy, you're the leaders of the world
and you kill one another.
There are shootings
in high schools all the time.
Yeah and now they say the solution
is to give guns to the teachers.
- [laughs]
- Pol, hear me out.
- The question is
- [Pol] I'm listening.
Why don't you all just carry weapons?
Wow. But, of course, you know,
they have another way of thinking.
- Pol, Pol, please, it's not bad.
- It's not a bad question.
Pol, imagine you live with your kids
way out in the country.
How do you defend your family
if some robbers come into the house?
- I mean
- You call the police and you wait?
But the robbers don't wait.
So I'm sorry for your family,
but they're all dead.
Oh, well, my father has a hunting rifle.
- Well, if some guys come in to rob me
- Oh, they couldn't get much from me.
Does the family thank you
for killing them?
Guys, guys, enough.
I've got the final debate for us.
- Let's see.
- Do we have the asses we deserve?
I do.
- I do.
- [laughs]
Touch it, touch it.
- Okay. [laughs]
- Touch it, touch it.
- I love it. [laughs]
- Do I have a good ass or what?
- It's nice, right?
- Well, it is. [laughs]
[laughs]
[phone ringing]
- [sniffs]
- [woman] Hello?
Sweetheart, how are you?
Mother, I'm just going to see
a movie, right now.
Oh. And your dad?
He's coming.
Okay.
Well, tell me if it's worth seeing,
I love movies.
we never go together anymore.
I'll check what's on. I'm in the house.
I'm having those tortellinis
you like so much.
Well, save me some.
Deal.
Okay, my love, take care, hm?
You can tell me tomorrow
if you liked the film or not.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
[sighs]
Lord, give me the fucking strength.
[enchanting music playing]
They have a good sense of rhythm.
- You study music, right?
- Yes.
Fuck, Pol, you're already yawning, dude?
If you're going to be like this,
you shouldn't have even come.
You should've stayed home.
I envy you, Pol. I can't yawn.
It's like my body could always
stay awake forever and ever.
[grunts] Is your butler waiting for you
down on the street or what?
[laughs] What are you talking about?
You? You got on the subway?
I don't believe that.
Be happy, spend your money on a chauffeur.
Okay, dude, you're one of those who think
money brings you happiness, is that right?
I don't know.
- Hmm.
- What are you thinking?
Well, I think
that I'm the only Philosophy student
who doesn't care whether this degree
has career prospects.
You son of a bitch.
Don't you say another word.
No, no, no, no.
Minerva, come on, let him talk.
Tell us. Why?
Pol, it's very simple.
Not everything in my life is great,
but at least I can relax
Again? You shit.
No, no, no, there's more.
There's more, okay?
When we reach 40,
you'll look 50, and I'll look 35.
Hmm? [chuckles]
Look, Rai, you see those coloured bulbs?
I'm going to wrap them around your body
and you're gonna get electrocuted.
What bulbs?
Do you mean the green ones
or are those the red ones over there?
Can you help me, Pol?
I can't figure it out right now, so
Who were you a year ago?
Huh? Tell me.
Who were you with? Who put up with you?
You had rich friends?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, but that's expired.
And what are you doing here?
Looking for friends among the poor?
Why do you sink so low?
It can't be that you need us.
No, that's impossible, right?
You could be home,
no stress, growing old slowly,
surrounded by your rich family.
Hey, Pol, don't tell me you're leaving.
- Yeah.
- No, no, no.
Come on, stay.
Stay, I've-I've stolen
one of the American girl's beers. [laughs]
If we're lucky, she won't shoot us.
[laughs]
Long live, Mississippi! [laughs]
Man, in class today, when
When Bolaño did the exercise
with the folder
I wanted to hug you.
Look, like this.
Okay, okay, okay.
- [kisses]
- Oti, come on.
Okay, enough, enough, please.
You're really nice,
but I don't like you that way.
I mean, I I think I'm a little drunk.
Amy's beer is a bit too strong.
It's okay.
Maybe you should go back up
and get some fresh air.
No, I'd rather just go home now. Here.
[piano music]
[laughs] [speaking French]
Look, it's the Frenchie. Oti's wasted.
[speaking French]
Sorry, I [laughs]
I don't understand French.
Well, Oti, you know, wanted to play
your body like a grand piano.
And I get it.
[piano music playing]
[kisses]
- [kisses]
- [moans]
We Catalans are very discreet.
[laughs] Well, in politics, no.
- [kisses]
- [moans]
Arnau.
How was the party?
Fine. [kisses]
[kisses] Oh, got a call from Oriol.
[grunts] Don't call him Oriol,
he's my father.
He wanted to know
if we were going up there on Sunday.
Says they're having a barbecue.
[scoffs] Shit, they're so annoying.
No, I don't want to go.
My father really gets on my nerves
with his monologues about soccer.
You've been drinking.
[laughs] Just a little.
[kisses]
Well, well, I'd like to go up
to Sant Esteve.
We'll see everyone
[breathes] Shit, you're annoying me,
you go.
I'm not going anywhere.
I've discovered that
I'm very cosmopolitan.
You have been drinking.
Come on, let's go to bed.
No, you sleep here,
I want to have the whole bed to myself.
And open myself up like a star,
and undo the star
whenever I want to. [laughs]
You're going to leave me all alone? Hmm?
Mm, god, your grey hairs turn me on
They do?
- Mm.
- [kisses]
- Pol?
- Shit, Dad. You scared me.
Sorry, it's just that I couldn't sleep.
Glòria still isn't back yet.
Well, you should've gone with her.
Okay, you're right, it was a mistake.
I should've accompanied her tonight.
It's just that I
Maybe I'm always complaining
about everything,
but I've never really had
that much luck, honestly.
- [inhales and exhales]
- What?
Tell me, Dad, are you in love with Glòria?
- Of course, I told you so.
- And Glòria loves you?
- Mm.
- And so is that good luck or bad luck?
Hmm.
Sorry, you can't sit there.
It, uh, seems an 80-year-old woman
came as an unregistered student
and died there, so
[breathes]
Pol
I'll tell you this about my past.
One year ago, I found out
my father tricked my grandfather
to steal his business.
And I realised
I am no better than my father.
And, yes, I admit that,
sometimes, I can be a bit annoying.
You can be quite annoying sometimes.
Very.
One-zero.
One-zero in what?
Well, I told you something personal
that isn't very pleasant for me.
And you?
Do you have a weak spot
you'd like to tell me about?
[indistinct chatter]
[Silvia] According to Aristotle,
those who deserved the best flutes
were the best flute players.
It was a way of compensating them
for their musical virtuosity.
We could think that
it should be the same in politics,
that the most exemplary citizens
would be the ones to take over
the most responsible political posts.
Plato and Aristotle were quite clear:
a politician had to be decent,
because an indecent one destroys
everything he has to govern over.
What about you?
If in the future, you were to dedicate
yourselves to politics,
would you be upright?
Clearly. We're not thieves.
Everyone knows one shouldn't steal.
Jesus, you bunch of goody-two-shoes.
If my boss paid me a bonus
under the table, I'd be thrilled.
[laugh]
What's the matter?
Didn't you tell us in our first class
that associate professors make,
at the most, 500 Euros?
- I see you want to make my day.
- [laugh]
No, no. Okay, okay, sorry, sorry.
But on top of that,
our tuition fees are exceedingly high,
and those of us who get scholarships
and there are many of us,
have to either pass all subjects
or we get thrown out.
Who among you would turn down
an envelope full of cash?
Come on, show of hands.
Come on, I don't believe it.
Obviously one shouldn't evade taxes,
and I understand that those should
be people's moral standards.
But the problem is that people move away
from the system because it is so punitive.
Expound on that notion for us, Pol.
Okay, let me see.
- I don't know, for example, my dad, he
- [laugh]
What's the matter?
Hold on, I'm being serious.
Listen to me for a minute.
My father worked as a turner in a factory.
And, because he was always on time
and was a good worker,
they would give him a bonus.
So, why doesn't the system reward us
for being good citizens?
Paying your taxes
is something you have to do.
No, I-I agree, but listen,
there are millions of people who pay
their taxes religiously every year,
and in the end,
what do they get when they retire?
A shitty pension.
Then, Pol Rubio,
you are anti-establishment.
Marquis of Casamiquela,
I adore the establishment.
- Tell me.
- The problem is
- the establishment doesn't love me back.
- [laugh]
[Biel] Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Pol, the establishment has to watch
and punish those who are corrupt,
otherwise, it all goes to shit.
Okay, listen, who wants a father
or a mother who only punishes you?
We also like to be coddled a bit, right?
So, why aren't our good actions rewarded?
I don't know, I wonder,
wouldn't there be fewer tax evaders,
if we were rewarded
for our good behaviour?
Wouldn't corruption be less rampant?
I don't know, it's just a question I have.
Honestly, if I spend my life
paying taxes religiously,
I'd like to get a letter from
the Internal Revenue Service saying:
"Pol Rubio,
we'd like to give you a blowjob."
- [laugh]
- [cheer]
You should have waved the flag
and sung the Marseillaise.
No, I already sang the Marseillaise today.
- Wow!
- No, it's nothing.
Don't exaggerate,
I didn't say anything that brilliant.
Well, it's a good idea:
a system that gives bonuses
to its outstanding citizens.
- Right, Oti?
- Yeah, right.
Oh, hey, could you one of you
grab my student card, please?
Sure.
I'm off to the library
to find about my scholarship.
You want me to go with?
No, no, it's not necessary.
See you tomorrow.
I'm going with Rai to an art exhibition
organised by his mother.
- That's great.
- Thanks. [kisses]
How are you? Hungover? [chuckles]
Listen, what what happened yesterday,
yeah, I was really drunk.
But, anyway, I won't lie,
I knew what I was doing.
- Don't worry, you're okay.
- You sure?
Yeah, I think you're great.
of course, we all have
our seething desires.
[chuckles]
- I just want us to be friends.
- Come here, you. [kisses]
So, tell me.
Do we all have the ass we deserve or no?
- [laughs]
- Hello, hello.
- We're here to get our cards.
- Hello.
The suggestions of the spatial
relationships endangers
the simplicity of
the remarkable handling of light.
[Susana] We won't rent the apartment.
It's got a lot of light
in the dining area,
but the sleeping area
is just way too noisy.
Hey, girl, what did you expect
on Mandri Street?
Try Mitre Avenue, why don't you?
Ugh. No, don't laugh, okay, Ester?
I'm not an idiot, come on now.
Oh, Susana, don't get angry.
So, what do you think of the exhibition?
Are you buying anything?
Hm, I might buy the cuff-links
by the entrance.
Come on, buy a painting.
Your walls are getting bored.
Oh, great idea.
Buy the paintings
instead of stealing them.
Rai! Don't start now, please.
If you've come to make silly remarks,
you'd better leave.
Well, Mom,
I told you I would come and here I am.
Not bad, huh?
Shit, Ester, what's with the coat?
- Do you like it?
- Yeah.
It's vintage.
Corduroy.
Let me introduce you
to Minerva Picotti, my mother
- My Aunt Ester and their friends.
- Mm.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- What What's was your name?
- That's mean.
- That's mean.
- [laughs]
Susana and Judith.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- You're an Italian.
- Fine.
- Right?
- Argentinean.
- Oh, that's nice.
- Oh.
"Choripán."
- [laughs]
- Ester, don't be rude.
Well, we'll be around here.
- Argentineans are a bit of a mess, huh?
- They go from one "corralito" to another.
Shut up, she'll hear you.
Oh, how about you just shut up?
- [clicks tongue]
- [laughs]
I feel a bit out of place.
Well, so do I, believe me.
I only came for my mother.
I didn't sense you get along
well with her.
Because she doesn't know me.
When I was a kid, I'd have to
go get myself the present I wanted.
If I asked for a toy car,
she'd send someone out to the store,
just to buy me some big,
stupid motor car you know? I
- Mmm.
- Once I wanted a construction kit,
and then I found a huge wooden house
in the garden.
I just wanted to spend hours
actually building my toy,
like any other kid,
you know what I'm saying? Yeah?
Mm.
Don't touch that! Put the rock down!
Come on, kids, put it down.
Sometimes I miss reading a book.
I read "The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor"
in high school.
It's short, but it's good.
Today in class, they told us about
the Weierstrass Theorem.
- Here?
- Hmm.
The theory explains that
if a function, F in X,
is continuous in an interval a-b,
then F is closed in that interval.
Closed means that it is limited
by two numbers:
above and then below.
- [laughs]
- [breathes]
[Minerva] Let's see if I got it right.
If they certify that the painting
is an original one by the artist,
- then it's worth more?
- Uh-huh.
Then what?
Nothing, I don't want them to sell it.
I want it for me.
[laughs] Oh, right.
Okay, no, no, I I'd better not.
I won't sleep if I don't stop.
Okay. What's the matter?
Why can't you sleep?
My head is split in two.
Between here and over there.
And now, all this waiting for
The scholarship, the scholarship.
You'll get the scholarship, I'm sure.
And then what you earn,
you save up and get the ticket
to Buenos Aires to see your family.
Just who do you think you are, rich boy?
You bring me down here,
show me your world of luxury,
you remind me I'm a jerk, and that
my problems will be solved
by saving money.
- Is that right?
- Okay, no, Minerva.
- I didn't mean that.
- No, it's not okay.
It annoys me that you talk so frivolously.
You have no idea
what it's like to live far from home.
I don't know if you lack empathy
or intelligence,
but I think Pol Rubio is smarter than you.
Your problem is that
you didn't get any Legos?
Go out and buy some.
I've been offered a position
at a high school for next year.
Ah. Is it good?
The pay is double.
Nice job.
No, I'm not so sure.
I don't know, the truth is,
I feel pretty good here, I feel motivated.
Even more so now that the first years
are better than last year's.
- You think?
- Of course.
Today the students
had a really good debate in class.
They wouldn't shut up.
Well, mine just sit there in silence,
listening to
their professor's masterclass.
[laughs] I'm not joking.
I really think they like me.
That's why I have my doubts about leaving.
The students I've got here
I think are really interesting.
Don't you just love fall?
How it gets dark earlier?
[breathes] Yeah. Is that it?
Do you want to take a break?
I have a croissant.
[laughs] Okay. If you give me half.
[laughs] Okay, forget it.
No, okay, yes.
Of course you can have a bite.
You're really funny, you know?
Why is that? I seem younger, right?
[chuckles]
[breathes]
Hey, are you in love or what?
No way.
You can't fall in love
with anyone that fast.
I'm in love with Minerva.
But she's more interested in art
than in croissants.
- What did you say?
- Uh-huh.
This is where I take refuge from the dean.
Just one shot and then that's it.
The bottle's been here for months.
Mm.
I've only got one glass.
You see, that's what happens
when you don't care
and mess around with others.
You end up alone.
Listen, I didn't mean to offend you
when I said
Don't worry, you didn't.
We need to talk, Mr. Rubio.
Why are you so hung up on
whether something is red or green?
- To me, it's important.
- But come on.
Are you so worried about being part
of the school?
A whole school of fish
that swim all together.
If the dolphin comes from the right,
you go left with the rest of
the horse mackerels.
- It's all right. It's survival.
- Yeah.
In the folder exercise,
you were used for a philosophical purpose.
You were a sacrifice to our investigation.
Are you making fun of me?
I don't make fun of my best students.
Your paper on beauty,
despite its faults, was very good.
Okay, how good?
It was an eight.
Or maybe a nine.
And what I said about your reading,
I'm serious.
- Understood.
- Good.
I'm done now. You may go.
Right, but next time you want
to experiment with someone's mind,
- then please, use someone else's.
- [laughs] As you wish.
However,
when I start to ignore you in class,
you'll be begging me
to pay attention to you.
[chuckles]
It's just you really remind me of someone.
A professor.
Is he good?
He was great.
Cheers to the great professors.
To the great professors.

[Pol] Rai. How are things?
Good. You?
You were right.
I wasn't at all cool

I felt humiliated.
And I admit that
I really don't like to look weak.
And what really fucks me up the most
