(intense music)
(upbeat music)
(turning pages)
- [Nick Voiceover] And Jesus replied with an illustration.
A Jew, going on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho
was attacked by bandits.
(buzzing whirl wind)
They stripped him of his clothes.
(swoosh)
They stole his money.
(dramatic music)
They beat him up,
and left him lying half dead beside the road.
By chance a priest came along.
When he saw the man lying there,
he crossed to the other side of the road
and passed him by.
A temple assistant walked over
and looked at him lying there.
But then when on.
A despised Samaritan came along.
Uh-hem, a despised Samaritan came along.
And when he saw him, he felt deep pity.
- These are the great lakes.
Now when you want to remember the great lakes,
just think of H O M E S, homes.
Now who can tell me what the H stands for?
Renee, what about you?
- Lake Huron.
- Lake Huron exactly.
- T minus 20 seconds and counting.
- And the O, who knows what the O is?
Phillip.
- Ontario.
- Ontario, very good.
- T minus seven seconds.
- Now what about the M?
- Three, two, one.
- Nicholas
(bell ring)
Saved by the bell.
- You've all been working so hard,
I made a little take home geography quiz.
I'll pick them up first thing tomorrow,
and your textbooks do not have all the answers,
so I hope you were paying attention today.
You're dismissed.
(children yelling)
- Hey, Nick, are you coming or what?
- Na, I'm going to board home.
See you tomorrow.
- You want these?
Bet you do.
Pick his pocket.
He doesn't have any money.
- Ooh, I can't look.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I guess.
- Why was Derrick picking on you?
- Don't tell Miss Harmon, but he's making me
give him the answers to the geography quiz.
- Figures, I guess he can't handle big words like Ohio.
Don't do it.
- I gotta, if I don't.
- You otta just give him all the wrong answers.
I mean it's not like he's never flunked a test before.
You alright, you got everything?
- Yeah, thanks.
(light oboe music)
- If they don't find a babysitter,
they're going to spend all of their time
taking care of little Carol,
instead of enjoying the wedding.
- But I can't mom.
Everybody's going miniature golfing, I told you that.
I promised Tina and Andy's even asked his mom to drive.
- Look, I'd volunteer myself but I've already promised
to help out with the reception.
- Mom, don't guilt me okay?
- What time is the wedding?
- 2:00, and I am not guilting you.
It's totally up to you.
- Uh, could you pass the milk Jamie?
- Pass the milk what?
- Pass the milk please.
- I'll get it.
I just think it would be a nice thing for you to do.
But you make up your mind.
Call the Robinson's, that's all I ask.
- Come on Sarah, let's eat.
- Okay, okay I'll think about it.
Move your stupid book Nick.
- Move your stupid book what?
- Uh, please.
(quirkie music)
- [Nick Voiceover] The geography quiz was pretty easy.
I figured Mrs Harmon would give me extra credit
for the neat map I drew.
- Nice map Nick.
What is the great continental divide?
Renee?
- That's the dividing line in the Rockies
where the river water flows East or West.
- Correct.
Mr. Cryder, I must say that of all the quiz papers,
yours was the most creative.
- Thank you.
- Perhaps you'd share with the class,
your answer to question number seven.
What is the state capital of Michigan?
- Uh, Motown.
(laughing)
- Number eight, where are the great plains located?
- At the great airports.
(laughing)
- Derrick, if you want to waste your time here,
that's up to you, but when you turn in a paper like this
you cheat only yourself.
I'd like to see you after school.
(dramatic music)
- [Nick Voiceover] I didn't think Phillip
would take my idea seriously.
Okay. The basic idea is not to end up
with the gross sandwich.
And being outdoors while they paint the cafeteria
makes it tough to sniff out the cream cheese
on date nut bread.
- Jelly doughnuts, I'm entertaining all serious offers.
- Oh, what is this stuff?
Hey Phillip, got anything to trade for?
How bout a cream cheese on date nut bread, yum?
- No thanks.
- Don't talk to him, he's weird.
- Hey Phillip, want to go to the airport
and watch some great planes?
You think you're pretty funny don't cha.
- Hey, give Phillip back his lunch.
- Who's going to make me Martin? You?
- Look Cryder, we're all sick and tired
of the way you're picking on everybody, right guys?
- Mm, jelly doughnuts.
I wonder what flavor it is?
- Ah come on, that is enough.
- Raspberry, my favorite.
Anyone else want a doughnut to the cause?
Here dude, you can have your lunch back.
(dramatic music)
The fun's just started, nerd.
- [Nick] So the despised Samaritan came along.
And when he saw him, he felt deep pity.
Kneeling beside him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds
with medicine and bandaged them.
Then he put the man on his donkey.
(razzberries)
(chuckles)
(hee haw)
He walked along beside him.
(whipping whirlwind)
Until they came to an inn.
There he nursed him through the night.
The next day, he handed the innkeeper, two $20 bills,
and told him to take care of the man.
If his bills run higher than that, he said,
I'll pay the difference the next time I'm here.
Now Jesus asked, which of these three
would you say was a neighbor to the bandit's victim?
The man replied, the one who showed him some pity.
Then Jesus said, yes now go and do the same.
So what to I do against Derrick and the goon platoon?
- Do, you can call Goliath breath out, that's what.
One on one, man to man, manno manno.
- Victim to mugger.
- I can see it now, you get him against the ropes.
He comes at you like a mack truck.
He swings, you duck.
- McGee, the guy is twice my size.
Besides, you know how mom and dad feel about fighting.
- Good point.
I've got it, challenge the nar-do-well to a duel.
Plastic swords at high noon or 11 central
which ever comes first.
- A duel?
- Yeah, on guard, take that you cur.
For the underdog, for mom and apple pie.
For season tickets to the opera.
Yeow!
- Cute McGee, so where do I dig up a suit of armor?
- Hey that's it.
I have found yon solution.
It's brilliant.
- What now, sumo wrestling?
- No this will be so easy you can skate through it.
Get it?
- Quit clowning.
- I'm just hanging around.
Well?
(pensive music)
- [Nick] Most of the time I can always count on McGee
to be wrong.
But this time, it seemed like he'd really come up
with a decent idea.
- Hi Nick.
You're going to be late.
- Who you waiting for?
- Ah no one special, just Derrick.
- Looks like you've got your wish.
- Hey Derrick, I want to talk to you.
- Hey, why don't I just run ahead and tell the nurse
to get out the bandages.
- What did you say wimp?
- I want to settle this thing between you and Phillip.
- All right, you're on.
After school at the flagpole.
- No, not a fight, a race.
This Saturday, skateboard to skateboard.
If you lose, you lay off of Phillip.
- What happens when you lose?
Like I know you're gonna.
- Hey, why don't you make him your slave?
- Yeah, yeah what he said.
For a week.
- All right you're on.
- Okay, you got it, later.
Let's bail.
- You're dead meat man, hamburger.
- Bad news Nick.
- Do you know what you're doing?
- Sure I do, I can beat him.
- No way, I've seen you skate.
Derek won third place last year
in the tri-city finals.
He'll smear ya.
- [Nick Voiceover] Great, thank again McGee.
- [McGee Voiceover] Well how was I supposed to he was--
- [Nick Voiceover] Hey, get out of my thoughts.
- [McGee Voiceover] Eh, where do you keep
the graham crackers up here?
- [Nick Voiceover] Very funny.
- Look, your mom said you didn't have to babysit.
So if you don't want to don't.
- Don't let mom catch you working on the counter.
- Hey Nick, how's it going?
- Hi Andy, pretty good I guess.
- My brother Patrick told me about your big race.
Pretty tough stuff.
Are you up to it?
- Yeah, I hope.
- Good luck.
- Thanks I'm going to need it.
- You know, that's a cool thing your brother's doing.
Now many people go out of the way to help someone else.
- Yeah, not many people.
- [Nick Voiceover] Phillip was as worried as I was
about the race.
But at least we were in this thing together.
- I've got something for you.
- What?
- It's for the race.
- Thanks, here hold it for me, let's go.
- [Phillip] Okay.

- Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, I won this race.
Unless your mom forget to buy you glasses.
- Get lost Derrick, we won that race.
You cheated.
- Yeah, we saw you.
(Group chants "Derrick cheats")
(Group chants "Nick won")
- Derrick won.
- Forget about it man, you won.
- Get lost.
- Going out of business, slashing prices.
That's enough already.
- Say Nick, thanks.
- Anytime.
- Oh hi Nick.
- Hi. - Did you win your race?
- Yeah, I sorta did.
- Good for you.
You know I said a prayer.
- Really? - Of course you're my brother.
Oh listen, do me a favor.
When mom and dad get home,
tell them that I went to the Robinson's to babysit.
- Oh wait, what happened to miniature golf?
- Oh that, I decided, well you know,
it's like it can hurt to give a little
once and awhile, right?
- Right.
- Got to run, oh congratulations champ.
- Thanks.
(light music)
- All right all right, my turn.
Champion huh?
Stand back and let a true professional
show you how it's really done.
- McGee are you sure you want to try?
(engine revving)
Okay, first you fall down and hurt your head,
I got that.
Now what's my next lesson.
- Very funny, now help me find my teeth.
