You Can't Do That on Television1979
Mr. Schidtler:
This history paper is a disgrace. I can not believe the idiocy of some of your statements. Look, you have Paul Revere back in ancient Italy running around on that horse warning the Romans that the Goth's are coming. Wait a minute - George Washington crossing the Delaware on a wind surfing board? Get this goody - Marco Polo using the personal computer to figure out the cost of the Boston Tea Party. Would you please tell me the meanings of this?
Alasdair Gillis:
Well, I was just trying to be a great man, sir.
Mr. Schidtler:
"A great man?"
Alasdair Gillis:
Well, yeah. Well, you said that all the great men throughout history were the ones that CHANGED history; so, I changed history.
Mr. Schidtler:
[to the camera] Where does the school board get them and why do they keep sending them to me?
