Hey! I wasn't able to do this kind of stuff till I was 40, And I had to buy a diamond.
Ok.
All right, look.
Here's the point.
Everybody, enough with the electronic devices.
Turn 'em off.
And no more of this "star trek" crap.
Sir, that's my hearing aid.
Oh.
This is an actual hearing aid? I thought you were ignoring me this whole time.
What? Sorry.
You can put that back on.
Ok, everybody else, Enough with the gadgets.
Put 'em away.
But we need them.
Abraham lincoln went through His whole presidency without a beeper.
What's a beeper? Never mind.
Ok, I am now banning All electronic devices, including laptops.
But we use them in all of our other classes.
It's how we take notes.
Ok, hey.
Here's a wacky idea.
You wanna take notes, use a notebook.
But you said no laptops.
That's correct.
A notebook is a laptop.
Shut up.
Don't you see what's happening, people? The machines are getting smarter, And we're getting dumber.
Do you think any of these devices Are gonna tell you when custer's last stand was? That's right.
"Peter Pan"? Really? It's a classic.
When I ran the theater department, We only did shakespeare.
Yeah, well, I run the theater department now, Mr.
Harris.
I still can't believe that you cast A 300-pound girl to play peter pan.
And I can't believe her father paid for the pulleys.
I'll tell you one thing.
When she goes up, There will be applause.
Well, that's my point, Whitey.
Don't you see? Without their cell phones, these kids know nothing.
They don't learn anything, Because they don't have to learn anything.
You're just being old-fashioned, Eddie.
You gotta get with the times.
Ah, please.
Hey, honey.
Hi, love of my life.
How are you? Whitey.
Hi, Joy! Did you do something new with your hair? No.
You should.

I found messages on the computer From some woman named Appollonia.
Well, have you actually seen this woman? No, but I've seen her avatar.
Here.
Take a look.
Holy.
I know.
She's 8 feet tall With giant boobs and a tiny waist and wings.
I can't compete with a tramp with wings.
What am I gonna do? I don't know, Allison.
This doesn't sound like Doug.
I know, and that's what scares me.
I mean, what if what if it's hidden Doug or secret Doug? Or kinky Doug? You think he's actually meeting up with her? No.

What should I do about this? Ok, we haven't had the men online discussion, have we? No.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Listen, to women, This is a computer.
To men, it's a cyber peep show.
I'm telling you.
Type in anything "hardwood floors," "pancake breakfast," "open-face sandwich" Everything leads to porn.
Y-you know how we go online and maybe we find A pair of shoes that we can't afford or fit into? Men do the same thing with women.
Oh, women they can't afford or Fit into? Fit into.
Exactly.
Well, what am I gonna do? Sweetie, I think you just have a conversation with him.
Just confront him, you know.
There's gotta be an explanation.
Well, what do I do if I find out that he really is cheating? Well, you don't do anything.
Your father and I will kill him.
Thanks.
That makes me feel better.
Come here, baby.
Hi, honey.
What are you doing? Oh, exchanging recipes with Eddie.
Yeah, I got him one of these new smartphones, And we've been communicating that way.
He just loves it.
Heh.
You got a free phone, And you gave it to Eddie Stark, The one person I am committed to destroying? Well, he's my friend, and I wanted to make him happy.
Happy? Oh, look at this! Look.
He sent another one.
Look.
He says l-o-l.
That means "laugh out loud.
" And so I'm gonna send back to him r-o-f-l.
That means "rolling on the floor laughing.
" It's ait's a heightened elevation of laughing.
It's a more intense laughing.
Is this new level of my communication with Eddie Making you angry? Yes.
Enough to punish me? I see.
Oh, I see! You're trying to trick me into punishing you.
Oh, you can see right through me.
Well, you know what I'm gonna do? No.

You know, the extra-virgin olive oil Was actually Whitey's idea.
How can you be an extra virgin? That's just showing off.
That's funny, honey.

What is more interesting on this phone than me? Nothing.
Huh? Nothing? Baseball.
Baseball? Look.
Let melet me show you something.
On this little device, I actually downloaded an app Where you can watch a ballgame At any time on this phone.
Not while you're in bed with me, you can't.
Yes, anywhere.
No.
It works anywhere around the house.
Eddie, listen to me.
Yeah.
When we are in bed together, I need you to be focused on me.
Yeah.
All right.
And you're making my point, Because I don't know if you if you knew this, But during the act, you see, When the man thinks about baseball, He is actually able to prolong his time in the dugout, So itit's a win-win for every I learnedI learned that on an app called igasms.
Here.
Ok, you know what? Give me that phone.
No.
No, I can't.
I'm getting rid of it.
No, listen to me.
I can't be without this phone.
All the information in the world is on here.
Did you know that the seeds on a strawberry Are the actual fruit and not the berry itself? It's not the berry itself.
I'm telling you it is all on this phone.
Say good-bye.
Ino.
Give it to me.
Gi-gimme this.
Because I won't be able to know all that Interesting crap if you take it away.

You're acting like a wacko.
Give me the phone.

Give me the phone.
Give me the phone.
Give me the phone! Joy! My God, what is happening? I can't feel my legs.
What Listen.
DidYou Calm down.
Calmcalm down? Everything's gonna be fine.
No.
It's not gonna be fine.
Yes, it is.
And I'm gonna tell you why.
Did youdid you It is like you pulled the air hose out of my mouth.
I'm drowning in a void here, Joy.
I am drowning in a factless void.
Did you flush my phone? I flushed your phone.
O-m-g! Who the hell is Appollonia? You wouldn't understand.
I wouldn't understand? Why wouldn't I understand, Doug? Because Appollonia is from another world.
What is she, a stripper? No.
No, she's an empress.
Wait! Are you trying to tell me that you're fooling around with an empress? No! I'm not fooling around with her, Ally.
I mean, although she she thinks I am.
But thethe truth is I'm planning to kill her.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about "global domination," The massively multiplayer online Role-playing game I'm into.
Check it out.
See, Appollonia is my archenemy, And I'm about to nuke her ass.
So Appollonia is not a real person? No.
I mean, yes, But she's probably some sad, pimply-faced teenage boy In ohio with, like, a paper route and a megadeth t-shirt.
And carpal tunnel, but Not from playin' the computer, if you know what I'm sayin'.
I think I do.
Let's nuke him.
Ok.
Here.
You do it.
Oh, no.
I don't like Go ahead.
All you gotta do is push this button right here, And Appollonia and all of her followers die.
Ok.
Here goes nothin'.
The power.
That's really hot, isn't it? Smokin'.
Hey.
Hello.
How was school? Terrible.
You took away my phone and threw me right back into the stone age.
There may be a slight chance That I overreacted a little When I flushed your phone down the toilet.
A ight chance, hmm? Yes, a slight chance.
There also may be a slight chance That I didn't really flush it, And it's right here.
Oh, God, thank There's a catch.
What? What? What's the catch? Here is the catch.
Oh, a phone bill.
Like that's They charge for ringtones? They charge for everything.
They're like hospitals or hookers.
All right.
I guess I'll just go back to my old, cheap phone.
Well, that's an excellent decision.
Only, it's too late.
Why? Because your friend Whitey Signed you up for a 2-year contract.
That's how he got the free phone.
And there's early-termination fees.
Well, how much is that? Put it this way.
It would be cheaper For you to divorce me than to try to get rid of this thing.
Yeah, but then I could afford the phone.
Eddie.
Ok.
All right.
All right, listen.
I'm justI'm just thinking out loud here.
So I get to keep the phone? Yeah, you get to keep it.
All right.
But you can't use it.
It'll be like your old betamax porn collection.
Oh.
All right, well, so what? I don't have to know the temperature in barcelona or Don't have to watch live baseball or Know any obscure facts.
What about your need to be in touch With Whitey What if I give up cereal? Let me ask you a question.
If Whitey and I were in a burning building And you could only save one of us, Who would you save? Ok, we, let's be clear.
So the one I don't save actually dies, And I never have to see her again? Give me that thing.
No.
Honey I am flushing this thing.
You! You! I would save you! You're dead.
What is wrong with you? You don't do that to someone in a public school.
Oh! But it wasn't real.
Sorry.
I was like, "I gotta spin it.
Then put it in my fake holster.
" Spin it first.
That's ok.
All right.
And this is making a lot of noise, isn't it? Yep.
