Lesson
#159 – Melodies within the pile of trash.
(Kunio) Murai, (Kouji) Fujiyoushi, (Taadaki) Kusano, (Noboru)
Yoshikawa, (Yoshito) Kikuchi and (Urumi) Kanzaki are staring
at (Eikichi) Onizuka who sleeps where all his things had been
dumped by the new headmaster (Misuzu) Daimon. As Onizuka dreams
about eating foods at a restaurant with his mouth wide open,
they see a cockroach walked slowly on his chest, toward his
mouth. The cockroach then suddenly entered Onizuka’s
gaping mouth, and as if in cue, Onizuka rolled over to his
side, murmured about a plate of “fried prawns”
as he munched the cockroach in his mouth, shocking them. Suddenly
Onizuka started to wake up, and he cursed at the “fried
prawns” that smells like a pee, and started to threaten
the “restaurant owner” to pay him compensation,
just to realize that he is only dreaming. He then noticed
that Murai and Co. had already arrived and started to greet
them (who had already backed-off after seeing that Onizuka
munched the cockroach). They then sees one of the cockroach’s
leg falling out from his mouth, and they started to scream
that Onizuka had ate a cockroach and run away, leaving the
puzzled Onizuka behind.
In the next scene, Onizuka is cleaning his mouth as he cursed
about how he inadvertently sleeps at the dump last night,
and plus he eats a cockroach too. He then explained that he
have to do that because he doesn’t have any place to
sleep, and he started to curse at Daimon who had forced him
out from his “penthouse”, and he is very lucky
that nobody steals his “prized” possessions (which
includes all trashy things only). Someone commented that no
one will want to steal his things anyway because he has nothing
valuable except for the trash. Then, Fujiyoushi asked Onizuka
on what he is planning to do, after he failed to become a
permanent teacher and also forced out from his “penthouse”,
and suggested that he should become a clown instead. Kanzaki
commented that his mouth is not smelly anymore, and Onizuka
replied that he couldn’t work as a clown, reminding
him that he is a gang-biker leader at Shonan prefecture.
He started to have a puff, and tells them that he lives at
the dump on purpose, and vowed that Daimon will regret chasing
him out to the dump in the future, so much she will kneel
before him and asked him to live inside the headmaster room,
and also she will regret of not making him a permanent teacher
(he used wrong kanji here). Fujiyoushi corrected him about
the kanji usage, but Onizuka ignored him and start searching
for breakfast instead, while Murai is shocked after seeing
something. A lorry full with shredded paper suddenly appears
from nowhere, and dumped it on the dump submerging Onizuka
with it, shocking both Kanzaki and Murai. Onizuka becomes
angry and started to make death threats to the driver, when
Daimon suddenly appears at the nearest window and asked him
whether he really sleeps at the dump, and the angry Onizuka
is shocked to hear her. Daimon then tells him that all old
books in the school will be shredded and thrown out because
they take too much space. Onizuka is struggling to hold his
anger as Daimon asked him whether he managed to find a new
room to live, reminding him that the dump will become the
place where the old books will end, and if he doesn’t
move out he will end up being burned. She then wondered whether
Onizuka also wants to be shredded and recycled, when suddenly
Onizuka faked a big smile. He then commented that she is right,
plus he can also save in funeral expenses. (Azusa) Fuyutsuki
who happened to pass nearby listened to the conversation silently,
as the others panics to see Onizuka being submerged with the
shredded paper again.
In the next scene, the first assembly for the 2nd semester
is on at the school hall, while Onizuka complained to Fuyutsuki
about how Daimon nearly kills him with the shredded papers,
as he removes some of the papers from inside his shirt. Fuyutsuki
advised him to just follow Daimon orders to move out from
the school compound, because if he resists, other teachers
will only look down on him. She then sheepishly suggested
that he can live at her house temporarily before he managed
to find a new room to rent, while Onizuka only stand silently
as Fuyutsuki continued talking. Fuyutsuki turns to see Onizuka,
just to find out that he is sleeping standing up, with plastic
tapes on his eyelids to prevent them from closing. Fuyutsuki
and other teachers near him can only look at him angrily,
when suddenly the tapes snapped and his eyes closed.
The announcer announced that for the new semester, the school
will have a new headmaster, and asked Daimon to give a speech.
Upon hearing her name, Onizuka suddenly wakes up as all the
3 principals clapped feverishly at Daimon. She then started
to greet the students and introduced herself. Then she asked
the students whether they had started to think about their
future. She then tells them that in most developed countries,
most of their entrepreneurs had started since they were in
the same age range like the students, and she feels that such
trends will come eventually to Japan in the near future. Kanzaki
and the students can only listened to her as Daimon continued,
saying that the students should adapted themselves in such
environments. She then announced, that to create such environments
in the school so that they can adapt themselves from the beginning,
the school had already implemented an intranet system in the
school.
The students started to talk among themselves, puzzled when
they heard the word “intranet”, while Kikuchi
is shocked to hear Daimon’s announcement. She then smiled
after seeing the reaction from the students, and her escorts
started to open the mysterious boxes that arrived the day
earlier, and give the contents to the students. The students
are shocked to be given a PDA (Personal Data Assistant), and
a student asked his friend whether the PDA is the thing that
are commonly called as ZAUS, just to be lashed with the fact
that ZAUS is a name of the place where people can snow skiing
all year round. Another wondered on why everyone get one of
those things, when suddenly Daimon announced that the device
being given to them is a handheld computer, so that they can
experience a futuristic educational technology. She then explained
that the device is also equipped with mobile services, so
the students can practically use the handheld virtually everywhere
where mobile phone coverage is available to connect to the
server at the school, thus enabling them to surf the Internet
virtually from anywhere. She then tells them that each student
will be given a free e-mail account, and it’s up for
the student to use them properly.
She then reminded them that they can’t access adult
websites with the handheld, and she smiled again, saying that
the students should use the device wisely, because the device
is given to them for free. The students are shocked to learn
that they don’t have to pay anything, and they started
to become happy about with. One of the escorts also distribute
the handheld devices to the teachers with Onizuka and Fuyutsuki
each get one, while (Hiroshi) Uchiyamada asked Daimon whether
she really wants to give lots of those devices to the teachers
and students. She replied that he doesn’t have to worry,
because she had already calculated that the increase of the
number of students next year will be enough to cover the expenses
incurred today. She then asked him to work together to administer
the school to a new height.
Back to the students, they still didn’t believe that
they will be given such an expensive device for free, and
some of them started to praise Daimon for her far-sighted
vision. Meanwhile, Kanzaki wondered whether Daimon actually
wants to appease the students in that way, and Kikuchi adds
that the cost must be really high and wondered whether something
fishy is going on. Meanwhile, back to the teachers, Fuyutsuki
wondered whether the it’s wise to give each students
one of those handheld devices, which costs 50000 to 60000
yen each (US $380-450), and wondered on what Daimon really
want to do. She turned again to ask Onizuka about it, just
to see that Onizuka had become very angry.
Onizuka screamed that he can’t accept what Daimon had
said, shocking Fuyutsuki. He then walked toward the stage,
while repeating his stand earlier. The teachers and students
are stunned as the angry Onizuka walked to the stage. He climbed
the stage and stands right in front of her, while the 3 principal
cowered in fear that Onizuka may do something violent. Onizuka
started to tell her again that he can accept something that
she had said, and the tense Daimon asked him on what he is
talking about. Hearing her, Onizuka shows the handheld device
right in front of her face, and asked whether what she had
said earlier is true. Daimon is silent as Onizuka whispered,
asking her whether the handheld for teachers can’t be
used to surf adult websites too. Daimon is shocked, and the
students laughed because they overhears the conversation via
the microphone, and screams that Onizuka is a pervert who
only thinks about adult websites. The principals started to
drag Onizuka down from the stage as the angry Daimon looks
at him silently.
In the next scene, Onizuka is surfing an adult website with
his handheld, while following Daimon from behind. He commented
that the screen is very clear, and laughed as he see a doctored
image. He then asked Daimon whether she is really sane to
give lots of those expensive devices to students, because
the costs are really expensive. Daimon denied that and asked
Onizuka not to follow her. Onizuka ignored her, and commented
that she seems to be better that Xavier, and started to describe
on how Xavier misused the school funds to take a Turkey-style
bath.
Suddenly, Daimon tells him to stop and asked whether Onizuka
is thinking that he will become a permanent teacher if he
sucked her up. Onizuka ignored her again, and tells Daimon
that he have something to tell her too. He then says that
he will follow her advice to live at the dump, and Daimon
is shocked to hear him. Onizuka then smiled as he continued
saying that he is used being called as “trash”,
so it’s fitting for him to live at the dump. Daimon
then smiled, and tells Onizuka to do what he wants there,
when suddenly she hears a voice calling Onizuka’s name.
She looks outside the window just to see (Ryuji) Danma asking
Onizuka from the school compound whether the garbage-collector
truck he had drive up for him is just what he wants (webmaster
note: the truck looks like the truck Murai’s mom is
driving in GTO drama version). Onizuka replied that Danma
is doing a good job, and he turns to Daimon and tells her
that amongst the pile of trash, something good can always
be found in it. Daimon smiles as she hears his remarks…
