"There's a terrific article about a wrestler named the Revolting Blob." "Gee, you know somethin'?" "He kinda looks like someone I know." " Where'd you get that?" " I have a subscription." "Bad guy." "He threw one opponent out of the ring and hit a bunch of senior citizens." "Boy, this wacko looks familiar." "What do I care about some stupid phoney wrestling guy?" "My God." "In June 1983 he sat on some guy's head and killed him." "It was just a stunt!" "He was supposed to pinch my leg if he was running short of air." "With this guy sitting on everyone's head," "I wonder how he got his teaching degree?" "No!" "No, you can't do that to me." "Those kids are my whole life!" "So you wouldn't want anything to happen that would make 'em think less of you?" "Max?" "Max?" "You ready to cooperate with me?" "Yes." "Then Madison Hotels is as good as mine!" " Nice shirt." " Yeah." "Yep." "Now the cell's happy." "But other molecules are saying "We'd like some energy too."" "And it uses its own pigment molecule, chlorophyll, to carry out the action." "This does not make the ribosomes happy." "And poor chlorophyll is caught in the middle of this." "Chlorophyll?" "More like "bore-ophyll"!" "Right?" " Jeez, a little bit stuffy in here, huh?" " Don't talk to me." " And why is that?" " Because you're a loser." "...from these ribosomes." "And chlorophyll helps the chloroplast..." "No, I will not make out with you!" "Did you hear that?" "This girl wants to make out with me in the middle of class!" "You got "chlorophyll man" up there talkin' about God knows what." "All she's talking about is makin' out with me." "I'm here to learn, not to make out." "Go on with the chlorophyll." "O'Doyle rules." "Thanks a lot, O'Doyle." "Nice meetin' you." " Wait till they start with the wedgies." " Yeah." "You oughta start cutting your underwear before you get to school." "So it rips easier." "I see." "Who are you guys?" "The guys everybody used to pick on before you started here." "No, they ain't picking' on me." "They're givin' me a hard time cos I'm the new guy." "A little first-day hazing." "Are you in loser denial or something?" "I had a bad case of loser denial myself." "Till the lacrosse team stuck a parking cone up my ass." "Loser?" "I ain't no loser." "I was the king of this high school." "A hundred friends, a million parties..." "You guys are losers, not me." "And that is what a prime number is." "Billy!" "I figured I got fourth period off, I'd shoot down and say hi." " How's high school, Billy?" " Yeah, how's high school?" "High school is great." "I mean, I'm learning a lot." "And all the kids are treating me very nice." "It's great." "Gee, I can't wait till I go to high school." "Don't you say that." "Don't you ever say that." "Stay here." "Stay as long as you can." "For the love of God, cherish it." "Jennifer, why don't you read out loud?" "You gotta cherish it." "You do." "I don't understand it." "I mean, ten years ago high school was the greatest." "I had so much fun." "I guess a little too much fun, since you've gotta do it again." "I know." "It's just that classes are so hard, and all the kids treat me like I'm a goof." "Well, you are a goof." "Suck it up." "Eight more weeks and you're all set." "Yeah, you're right." "You're so smart." " I gotta go, OK?" " OK." "Billy, wait." "It doesn't feel so great to be called a loser, does it?" "No." "Maybe the first time you went to high school,... ..you weren't as nice to the kids that you thought were losers." "I know what you're sayin'." "You're so smart." "Hello?" " Hi." "Is this Danny McGrath?" " Yeah." "The Danny McGrath that graduated from Knibb High School in 1984?" " Uh, yeah." "Who's this?" " This is Billy Madison." "You probably don't remember me, but I went to high school with you." "I kinda gave you a hard time back then,... ..and I did some things that I thought were funny at the time,... ..but now I realise they were just mean and stupid." "And I just wanted to apologise, and I hope you forgive me." "Yeah, sure." "Don't worry about it." "Wow!" "That's great!" "Well, I am sorry, and maybe we can get together some time... ..and have coffee or somethin'." " Sure, I'd like that." " OK." "Well, I'll see you around." "OK." "Bye." "Speak for yourself, moron." "Oh, my God!" "That is funny!" "Next.: the shocking story of power and corruption involving a hotel tycoon." "How his 27-year-old millionaire son cheated his way through school." " What the hell...?" " Now, now." "Maybe it's somebody else." "My name is Max Anderson,... ..and I am the principal at the Polly Fector Elementary School." "Recently a young man named Billy Madison was enrolled there." "During that time Mr Madison was disruptive." "The only reason he passed was that he offered me a bribe of $5,000,... .. which I regrettably accepted." "I'm sorry, Billy." "That was Principal Anderson of Polly Fector Elementary School." "Dad!" "He's lyin'!" "You made a fool out of me." "This was a mistake from the beginning." "Brian, I got some interim forecasts for you to..." " Why is everybody so glum?" " You seriously don't believe me?" "That's right." "I seriously don't believe you." "The deal's off." "Eric's got the company." "Wow." "Good news for me." "I can't believe this is happening right now." "Are you gonna come to class on Monday?" "Wouldn't make much sense now, would it?"

"Billy, why are you acting like this?" "I know that you didn't pay off Max." "Well, that makes two of us, then, baby,... ..but it takes more than two to tango." "Or somethin' like that." " So let's go." " No, let's stay." "And the three of you can light dog shit on my living-room floor." " Come on, Billy, you know that..." " Talky, talky, talky." "No more talky." "You got a lighter in here?" "Oh." "I see what's goin' on in here." "So sorry to interrupt!" "Proceed." "Billy, you're losing your mind." "All right, boys' night out!" "Let's go!"

"I ain't rollin' over and dyin'." "I was set up." "And, worst of all, nobody believes me." "I believe you, Billy." "And I believe in you." "You know, some people have no willpower, no brains, no vision." "They just drift through life like lumps of crap." "What is she talkin' about?" "And you have all those things."

"Eric, certainly there are extenuating circumstances." "Extenuating, exschmenuating." "We had a deal." "A signed, written deal." "Each grade, two weeks, or I get the company." "Well, technically you're right, but..." "Oh, shut up, Brian." "I've had to listen to your jawing for too long." ""Well, technically..."" "Just shut up!" "Are you ready to hand the company over to me now?" " No." " Then I'll see your ass in court." "Good." "Nice talkin' to ya, shitheads." "Hey, Eric, how would you like to settle this now, no lawyers?" "You and me, mano y mano." " What does that mean?" " What does that mean?" " Carl, what does that mean?" " Uh..." "I don't know." "It means an academic decathlon." "One day, ten events, testing all the knowledge one would gain in high school." "Me versus you." " You're joking, right?" " Let's take it a little easy here, Billy." "No, I'm serious." "Let's do it."

"Buenas noches." "Slow down." "Oh!" "Spanish Armada... 1588." "That is correct." "Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to a generous donation by Mr Madison... ..to the Knibb High School library, I have been able to arrange for ten teachers... ..to administer this academic decathlon in various courses of study." "However, if there is any attempt by either contestant to cheat,... ..especially with my wife, who is a dirty, dirty tramp, I am just gonna snap." "Do I make myself clear?" " Yes, sir." " Yes, sir." "All right, then." "Let the academic decathlon begin." "Second team, all-American, Harvard track." "Is that right?" "Oh, gross!" "Did you see that guy's balls?" "Yeah, they were weird-lookin'."

"Each competitor will select the final category for his opponent." "Mr Madison will go first." "Mr Gordon, choose the topic." "English Literature." "US Presidents." "My Wife, the Tramp." "Burning Dog Poo and the Human Response." "Reflections of Society in Literature." "Reflections of Society in Literature." "Good luck, schmuck." "Mr Madison." "The Industrial Revolution changed the face of the modern novel for ever." "Discuss, citing specific examples." "Come on!" "OK." "The Industrial Revolution, to me, is just like a story I know... ..called The Puppy Who Lost His Way." "The world was changing... ..and the puppy was getting... bigger." "So, you see, the puppy was like industry,... ..in that they were both lost in the woods,... ..and nobody, especially the little boy society - knew where to find them." "Except that the puppy... was a dog." "But the industry, my friends,... ..that was a revolution." "Knibb High football rules!" "Mr Madison, what you've just said... ..is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard." "At no point in your rambling, incoherent response... ..were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought." "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it." "I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." "OK." "A simple "wrong" would have done just fine, but..." "You remain one point ahead." "Mr Gordon, it is your turn." "Mr Madison, choose the topic." "I choose Business Ethics." "Mr Gordon." "The American business environment has fundamentally changed... ..following the insider trading and savings and loan scandals." "Explain business ethics, and how they are applied today." "The, uh, ethics of, uh, business... ..can be summarised in..." "Yeah, um..." "See..." "Ethics are, uh..." "You know, the... the thing about ethics..." "That question was not fair!" "That was not in the reading." " I demand a new question." " Take it easy, psycho." "You blew it." "You lose." "I oughta blow you away, you miserable..." "Well, go ahead and do it." "Yikes!" "No!" "Get off me!" "No!" "Man, I'm glad I called that guy." " Max, are you OK?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I'm OK." "OK." "A little confused, kinda sweaty,... ..a little hungry,... ..but all in all I'm OK." "Thank you, thank you, thank you very much." "Thank you." "Well, what can I say?" "I graduated." "It's over." "I did it." "I know most of you are sayin' "Hey, any idiot could do that."" "Well, it was tough for me, so back off!" " Sorry." "Sorry about that." " Yahoo, Billy!" "Billy's number one!" "Yahoo!" "That's nice, buddy." "Yahoo!" "Yahoo for school!" "Yahoo for me!" "Anyways, this hotel stuff really isn't for me,... ..so I decided to step down as chairman of Madison Hotels... ..and give the company to Carl." "I'm gonna go to college." "I'm gonna be a teacher." "Peace!" "I'm outta here!" "Daddy." "What can I say?" "I saved the day, I guess." "I mean, Eric doesn't take over the company." "Are you sure this is what you wanna do?" "I'm sure, Dad." "Thanks for everything." "Max!" "What can I say, buddy?" "You saved my life." "You don't have to say anything." "I'm so proud of you." "But I'm still horny." "All right, man." "You're hurting me." "You think he's horny." "Come here."
