“Pathetic” · Season 6, Episode 11

In this episode: Eric (2), Annie Camden (2), Ruthie (1), Lucy (1), Simon (1)

I can't thank you enough for giving me this opportunity to work here, doing something important. It's been rewarding and interesting and fun...

MMrs. Mackoul

But you don't want to do it anymore?

No sorry.

MMrs. Mackoul

Well, the funny thing is, I was going to ask you to come on fulltime. With everything going on in the world, parents want the added security of a private school, and we've had so many requests that we're expanding. We need more teachers.

I appreciate the implied offer, but I can't. Thank you.

If God didn't want me to have that ring, he wouldn't have had Jeremy give it to me.

You're actually going to invoke the name of God as the cause for your insanity?

Doesn't everyone?

Did she tell you why she quit?

No. But it wouldn't be like me to ask my mom why she does anything. She's my mother, but she's your wife. Maybe you can ask her, or maybe not. I don't know how those things work.

Well, aren't we calm for everything that's gone on around here?

I feel very calm. I've been feeling very conflicted, but as of today, I feel very calm. And that's good because with all the tings going on out there in the world, it helps to stay calm in here. See, I had this dream for years to teach, and finally after all that time, I got my dream when Mrs. Mackoul asked me to join that staff at Ruthie's school. It was very much my dream come true.

And now you're giving up your dream come true?

It's no longer my dream. I love working with any one student, but I feel disconnected working with a group of students in the classroom. I want to do more than discuss questions of morality. I want to inspire each child to lead a moral life. I think I can find a better way to do that.

And you don't feel sad that you always had this dream to each and once you got it, it wasn't what you wanted?

No, it probably happens to a lot of people.

Yeah, it does, but...usually they just hang on to it because after all that dreaming it seems a shame to give it up or admit that it was a mistake.

Well, I feel good about it. For me, letting go of the past is freeing.

Hmmm, evidently that's a gene that wasn't inherited by Mary or Lucy. (they both laugh) We've got a lot of letting go to do over the next few years.

Yeah, we do. But we've got a lot of holding on, too. (they both look at the twins playing)
