1. ***What teacher do you like best and worst now or in the past? Why? What teacher inspired you?
EX: I liked Dr. Steyn best. She taught about health, media and psychology. She taught in the
classroom and also worked with her students to help people. She inspired me to help people around me.
I didn’t like my psychology teacher. He had 3 Ph.Ds. But, he only read the book in class and gave
tests EVERY DAY.
2. ***What are the purposes of education? How many can you think of?
EX: Education helps us think wisely. It helps us meet many people for our future. It helps us become
useful. It helps us succeed.
3. ***Have you ever won any contest or tournament or game in school? Tell about it.

too short. So, I placed last.

EX: No, I have never cheated. Yes, I got in trouble in school. I got kicked out for talking in 1 class.

aren’t wise. What school rules did you like? What school rules did you not like?

school had a rule against cheating and using drugs. Those were important.

influence do your friends have on you? What influence do you have on your friends? Should you
change anything?

influence me to smoke, to drink and to cheat.

10. ***Here are some movie quotes. Which ones do you like best? Why? Do you agree with them? Why
or why not? Were these ideas true for people in history? Who?
--“A man’s character is his fate”. 인격은 그 사람의 운명이다.
--"The end depends upon the beginning. " 끝은 시작에 달려 있다.

취하는 방탕함도 사라지겠지만 어리석음은 영원하다.
EX: I agree that our character is very important. 500 CEOs said that they think honesty is very
important in business. Ken Lay of Enron was not honest. He hurt many people. Hwang Woo Suk was
not honest. It hurt his career and Korea’s image.
EX: I don’t agree that stupid lasts forever. Some people choose to be foolish. But, some stupid people
made different choices and became smarter.
11. ***1 movie quote says: "Not to know what happened before you were born is to be forever a child."
네가 태어나기 전에 있었던 일을 모르는 것은 영원히 어린아이로 남는 것이다. Do you agree? Why do
you think we should learn about history?
EX: Yes, history is important. We can avoid many mistakes if we know history.
12. ***What will your contribution be? How will history remember you? 너는 무엇을 공헌할 것인가?

they need to get what they want.” Winning is the only thing that matters to him. Do you agree with him?
Why?

business partners were dishonest. This hurt my family a LOT.
14. ***What lessons about life have you learned? What did you learn from this movie?

by Gutenberg. But, I came to Korea in 1992. I found that the Koreans and Chinese made printing
machines a long time before Gutenberg.
15. Caesar took a big risk in history. Who took a big risk in history? Do you admire them?
EX: I think Martin Luther King Jr. took a big risk. He told everyone that black people and white people
were equal. Some people didn’t like that idea. It was a dangerous idea. I admire Dr. King.
16. What did great men and women do to become great? Can you do something similar? What?
EX: Einstein says that most great people focus. They don’t try to do everything. They choose one thing
and focus on that. I want to do that better.

was right? If you were Mr. Hundert, what would you have done?

think I would have stopped the contest for a break and checked Sedgewick in a back room.

Is everything okay, sir? Fine. Thank you.
Here. Let me, uh... That's not necessary, sir.
As I've gotten older, I realize I'm certain of only two things.
Days that begin with rowing on a lake are better than days that do not.
Second, a man's character is his fate.
And, as a student ofhistory, I find this hard to refute.
Permalink here (line 11) For most of us, our stories can be written long before we die.
There are exceptions among the great men ofhistory,
but they are rare, and I am not one of them.
I am a teacher... simply that.
I taught for 34 years.
One day I stopped teaching.
Those were the facts of my life's chronicle.
The last chapter had been written. My book was closed.
Permalink here (line 21) Hello?
Hello. Hello?
Mr. Hundert? Yes. Hello.
Can you hear me, sir? I can.
Hello. Mr. Bell wanted to make sure you were comfortable.
I'm quite comfortable. Thank you. And-And, please,
thank Mr. Bell for the beautiful fruit basket.
It's quite... comprehensive. Yes, sir.
Mr. Bell also wanted me to tell you he's added an event...
on the morning following the competition...
Permalink here (line 31) a breakfast in your honor.
Mr. Hundert? Yes... Yes.
Th-Thank you. Thank you.
The others will be heading down to the bar in 20 minutes, sir.
Uh, very well. Twenty minutes.
In the bar. I'll be there.
Th...
I couldn't tell you exactly why I had agreed to come.
I'm not sure I knew. It had something to do with hope.
The young men that were gathering here were among...
Permalink here (line 41) the most successful and influential of their generation.
But I knew them before any of that.
I knew them as my students...
at Saint Benedict's School for Boys.
Looking closer, under the bishop's miter,
are the words, "Non sibi"...
or "Not for oneself."
Permalink here (line 51) This embodies our philosophy at Saint Benedict's.
The wisdom gained here should be used for others...
as well as for oneself.
And finally, "Finis origine pendet."
These three words are emblazoned across your hearts...
under the great seal of Saint Benedict's.
It is our academy's motto. Simply:
"The end depends upon the beginning. "
The end...
depends upon the beginning.
Permalink here (line 61)
Hey, Greg. How are you doin'?
Hi, Mr. Hundert. Mr. Ericks.
Ex-Excuse me. Huh? What me?
Yes, sir. What is your name? Uh, Louis.
- Just Louis? - Louis Masoudi, sir.
Mr. Masoudi, could you define the word "path" for me?
Well, there are several definitions, I suppose.
Would "a route along which someone or something moves" be among them?
Yeah.
Permalink here (line 71) Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. I'm s-sorry, sir.
Follow the path, Mr. Masoudi. Walk where the great men before you have walked.
Yes, sir. It's, uh... It's better for the grass.
It's better for you.
Mr. Hundert. Mr. Ellerby.
I wanted to thank you. For what?
Mr. Woodbridge let slip that you were instrumental in my procuring this job.
Bene exeat, sir. Bene meritus.
It's always good to have another friend of the classics.
I'll tell you, the way he talks about you...
Permalink here (line 81) "Just listen to Mr. Hundert. He'll be running the place one day."
- Your name, sir? - Robert Brewster, sir.
- Very good. And you? - Deepak Mehta, sir.
And your name? Eugene Field, sir.
Field. And you? Martin Blythe, sir?
- Is that a question? - Uh, no, sir.
Uh, my name is Martin Blythe, sir.
Very good. You all know your own names.
Question is, do I?
- Mister... Blythe. - Me, sir?
Permalink here (line 91) Yes, you. Not Mr. Field to your right...
or Mr. Grey to your left or Mr. Diebel behind you.
You, sir. Will you do me a favor and walk to the back of this classroom...
and read for us the plaque which you see hanging over that door?
"I am Sh-Shu..."
- "I am Sh-Shutruk Nahhunte"? - Very good. A little louder, please.
Yes, sir. "I am Shutruk Nahhunte, King of Ansham and Susa,
"sovereign of the land of Elam.
I destroyed Sippar and took the "stel-ah" of..." Stele.
Permalink here (line 101) "Took the stele of Naram-Sin and brought it back to Elam,
"where I erected it as an offering to my god. '
Shutruk Nahhunte, 1158 B.C."
Well done, Mr. Blythe. Thank you. You may be seated.
"Shutruk Nahhunte." Is anyone familiar with this fellow?
Texts are permissible.
But you won't find it there.
Shutruk Nahhunte.! King.!
Sovereign of the land of Elam! Destroyer of Sippar!
Behold, his accomplishments cannot be found in any history book. Why?
Permalink here (line 111) Because great ambition and conquest...
without contribution...
is without significance.
What will your contribution be?
How will history remember you?
Shutruk Nahhunte... utterly forgotten.
Unlike the great men you see around you. Aristotle,...
Caesar,
Augustus,
Plato, Cicero, Socrates...
Permalink here (line 121) giants of history, men of profound character.
Men whose accomplishments surpassed their own lifetime...
and survive even into our own.
Their story...
is our story.
My name is Mr. Hundert.
Welcome to Western Civilization:
The Greeks and the Romans.
Permalink here (line 131) Welcome to Saint Benedict's!
Lights out in five minutes, gentlemen.
It's awfully loud, Mr. Jones. Please turn it down.
Did you... Her titties are so... After that, though...
No. After that, I was walking back to get my books.
And I was walking along the grass, and Hundert comes up to me and says,
- "Mr. Masoudi" and I turned around but I took care of it. - Yeah, I know. Yeah.
And then, he's like, "Follow the path, Mr. Masoudi.
Walk where the great men before you have walked."
Permalink here (line 141) - Very good, Mr. Masoudi. - I was just lettin' him know. That's why I was tellin' him.
To bed.
Yeah. Right. See you tomorrow.
Lights out in five minutes, gentlemen.
Just why am I... Huh? No. I'm going.
Good night, Mr. Blythe. Yeah. Good night. Good night.
Jesus Christ. I am such an asshole.
Carthaginians. Uh...
Yes, sir.
Hamilcar Barca seems like an outstanding commander.
Permalink here (line 151) Yes, who had the misfortune ofbeing on the losing side.
You do realize that Hamilcar Barca is not part of the course reading list?
Yes, sir.
Very good.
Lights out.
9:00, gentlemen.
Good night.
Hi.
- Hello. - Oh, hi.
Permalink here (line 161) - Welcome back.
It's great to see you! You too. How are you?
I'm fine. You sure you're all right?
Ye-Yeah.
What did you think of Athens? Oh. I loved it.
- I knew you would. - Tony hated it, but he's British.
"Too many Greeks."
Tony's Tony. Here.
I told the man in the store I wanted something...
for a very serious scholar of antiquity.
Permalink here (line 171)
The Parthenon.
- It's smaller than I remember it.
I don't have one of these. Thank you.
I found it in the agora.
Tony couldn't understand why I wanted to go there. It's a little touristy now,
but I kept hearing your voice in my head.
And I kept seeing it exactly the way you described it,
with Socrates teaching right in front of me.
And... there was Tony, falling asleep from the heat and ouzo,
Permalink here (line 181) and me eating my shish kabob.
I thought about you a lot. Um...
- I wished you were there. - It would've been a little odd though.
with you and me and Socrates...
and your sleeping husband.
Yeah. A little.
And with the monarchy's demise, two new systems...
of government... the first, ruled by the few, known as?
Mr. Brewster. Uh, tyranny?
In spirit, perhaps, but etymologically, no.
Permalink here (line 191) More precisely, oligarchy.
Tyranny is what we have in this classroom. It works.
Mr. Blythe? "We must have richness of soul."
Oh, it was, uh, Heraclitus, when he said a man's character is his fate or his destiny.
Precisely. "Not to know what happened before you were born...
is to be forever a child."
Mr. Julius Caesar...
is a Saint Benedict's tradition.
It is a contest held each year in two phases.
Permalink here (line 201) The first, is a series of quizzes...
that will narrow the field of competitors to three.
The second is a public tournament...
where these three will take the stage at Saint Benedict's Hall...
and answer questions about Roman history.
The last man standing will be declared the winner...
and crowned Mr. Julius Caesar.
- Your father was a winner was he not, Mr. Blythe? - Yes, sir.
Mm-hm. Would you point him out to us, please?
Ah.
Permalink here (line 211) A noble honor indeed.
Well, carry on, gentlemen.
Thank you, Mr. Woodbridge.
Finally, Caesar arrives at the Rubicon,
a small little river which divides... Mr. Field?
Cisalpine Gaul from Italy. Correct.
He gathers his one legion around him. A legion comprised of how many men... Mr. Grey?
6,000? 6,000 men. Pompey has 10 legions...
with the support of the Senate, and Caesar is undaunted by these odds.
Permalink here (line 221) Suddenly... impulsively...
Caesar cries out.! Mr. Mehta.
- "Alea jacta est. " - "The die is cast!"
He crosses the Rubicon only to find his enemies have fled.
He chases Pompey all around the Mediterranean.
Finally, he arrives in Alexandria, where the king of Egypt...
- Mr. Masoudi? - Ptolemy XIII?
Ptolemy XIII... presents him with a gift...
the head of Pompey.
Mr. Hundert,
Permalink here (line 231) I'd like you to make the acquaintance...
of Mr. Sedgewick Bell.
Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bell.
Well then, carry on, Mr. Hundert.
Nice to meet you, son. Thank you, sir.
Gentlemen, I'd like you to welcome a new member of our class,
Mr. Sedgewick Bell.
Come in.
The sign said this was a boy's school.
- It is a boy's school. - So why is everyone wearing dresses?
Permalink here (line 241) - These are not dresses.
This is a toga. It is a loose outer garment worn by...
Worn by citizens of ancient Rome. I know.
- I was just... kidding with you.
The toga was bestowed on young men in recognition of their transition...
from childishness to manhood.
So?
Please. Come in. Sit down.
Have a seat here behind Mr. Brewster.
You know what? I actually think that I'm good here.
Permalink here (line 251) Mr. Bell.
Mr. Hundert.
Have a seat.
Now, uh, before I forget,
tomorrow we will begin on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I expect you all...
to be familiar with the play.
Mr. Bell, I'd like you to look at the role of Brutus,
the noblest Roman of them all.
Mr. Masoudi, you have a lean and hungry look,
Permalink here (line 261) you'll read the part of Cassius.
He's the son of Hyram Bell,
the senior senator from West Virginia.
Well, whoever the father is, the son is a bit of a Visigoth, I'm afraid.
Is he that bad? No, I don't think so.
It's just new school bravado. That's all. He'll be fine.
Sedgewick?
Permalink here (line 271) Right. Sedgewick.
Hey.! Se-Sedgewick.
Um, some of us werejust, uh...
just wondering, uh...
Actually, Martin... Martin was wondering if you could keep it down.
He's trying to study.
Okay. All right. That's...
"I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well-beloved of Caesar,
"should outlive Caesar.
Permalink here (line 281) Let Antony and Caesar fall together."
"Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius,
"to cut the head off then hack the limbs.
Like wrath in death..."
"and envy afterwards, for Antony is but a limb of Caesar.
Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers."
"Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers. "
Yes, your Brutus lacks conviction, Mr. Bell.
You do realize what you're saying? The fate of the Republic is at stake.!
Not for me.
Permalink here (line 291) No. I realize that.
But try to imagine the significance of the moment.
You, Brutus, are at the center of a conspiracy...
to kill Julius Caesar,
you believe, for the good of Rome.
Yet you're struggling profoundly with the moral implications...
of murdering Mark Antony as well.
Yeah, but I don't agree with their plan.
Brutus doesn't agree with their plan?
No. I don't agree with their plan.
Permalink here (line 301) They should kill Mark Antony too.
I mean, Brutus is a pussy.
"A pussy"?
Because he has a conscience?
Because he believes there's a right way and a wrong way? Oh, come on.
Antony ended up taking him down, right?
Well, in a manner of speaking, yes.
He and Octavius, but... But what?
Had they killed him, as the other guy suggested, uh...
- Cassius. Yeah. Him. - If they'd done what he said,
Permalink here (line 311) - Brutus might have gone on to be king. - Emperor, in fact.
- Exactly. - Which he had no desire to be.
- Whatever. He would've won. - Yes, but at what cost?
Remember Socrates? Not really.
"It is not living that is important, but living rightly. "
Socrates chose to die by unjust execution...
rather than break the laws of Athens to which he had pledged obedience.
Another genius.

No. I am not.
That's why you like putting us all in togas, right?
I've made arrangements to meet with your father.
Is there anything you'd like me to say to him?

Supposedly belonged to the coachman of Robert E. Lee. Really?

In a manner of speaking, sir. Yes.

Oh, no. I couldn't. Oh, take the damn thing.!
It's a gift. For all you've done for my son, Sedgewick.
Thank you.
So, to what do I owe this honor?
It's your son, Senator.
Oh, Christ. What the devil's he done now?
Sedgewick is clearly an intelligent boy, but, sir, he's not applying himself.
He's not... learning the material.
Permalink here (line 531) I need a match! Yes, Senator. Right away.
What material is that? It's the Greeks and the Romans...
We've left the Republic and entered the Empire...
Here you are, sir. Thank you.
Shut the door on your way out, will you?
We're up to the reign of Augustus.
You ought to be careful with that thing, by the way. You know, it still fires.
Oh. Sedgewick, it seems,
is not paying attention in class, sir.
Nor is he doing the assigned reading.
Permalink here (line 541) Let me ask you something.
What's the good of what you're teachin' those boys?
- "The good"? - Yes. The good.
Well, Senator,
the Greeks and Romans provided...
a model of democracy, which,
I don't need to tell you, the framers of our own Constitution...
used as their inspiration.
But more to the point, I think when the boys read Plato, Aristotle,
Cicero, Julius Caesar even,
Permalink here (line 551) they're put in direct contact with men who,
in their own age, exemplified...
the highest standards of statesmanship,
of civic virtue,
of character, conviction...
Boy, that is a horse that can talk!
So, you're sayin' that my son Sedgewick has his head up his ass.
Sir, it's my job to mold your son's character,
and I think if... Mold him?
Permalink here (line 561) Jesus God in heaven, son.
You're not gonna mold my boy.
Your job is to teach my son.
You teach him his times tables.
Teach him why the world is round.
Teach him who killed who and when and where.
That is your job.
You, sir, will not mold my son.
I will mold him.

it's costing me to send you to this place?

You understand me? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I understand.

So, what did she say, man. What did she say?
Wrong girl.

Every boy in the third forum has asked to check this book out overnight.
Now, if I let you have it, that wouldn't be fair, would it?
It would be fair. I know in my heart it would be.
Mr. Bell, you are exasperating. Miss Peters,
that is a great hairstyle.
- Is that new? - I've had it since 1958.
Now, Mr. Bell, in order to be fair to all the students,
it is important that this book always be available here at this desk.
Permalink here (line 641) It is Saint Benedict's policy.
And it will be on your desk tomorrow morning.
I promise you. You have my word.
No! No!
Miss Peters, I can vouch for this boy's character.

If he says it will be on your desk first thing in the morning,
