Great
Teacher Onizuka volume 2
Lesson #7 - The qualifying test.
(Eikichi) Onizuka and two of his friends are eating in a
restaurant. Meanwhile his friends are talking about their
careers (one is a salesman and another is working on fashion
industry), they commented how hard to find jobs nowadays.
Then one of them asked Onizuka what his job now. With a puff,
Onizuka answered that he work as a teacher. Both of his friends
are shocked. They both exclaimed how a gang leader of Eurasian
University could select teaching as a career. Onizuka sneers
and then pointed out apart of a guaranteed employment, he
can also work in a 'heaven' full with young cute chicks. His
friends are now silent. Onizuka the continued to mock both
of them, saying that they will be finished, and may have to
become a gigolo, serving old women. By now, both of his friends
regrets of forgetting teaching as a plausible career, as Onizuka
is leaving and teasing them at the same time.
In the next scene, Onizuka is at a video-rental agency, looking
for some grade A videos. He commented about his successful
probation period, and thinking of paying some blokes (that
looked like him) to make his thesis for graduation, and he'll
become a fully qualified teacher. Suddenly he sees a (grade
A) video about a teacher's life, and he promptly rent it.
On the way home, he think that he just have to wait for the
letter of employment from the Musashino High School headmaster,
and how he can't wait to get started, but now he can only
wait, and for that he will enjoy himself all he can first
before starting his work.
He entered his house just to be greeted by a puzzled (Ryuji)
Danma, who asked him if Onizuka will take the 'qualifying
test' today. Onizuka is shocked, and asked him what 'test'
does he mean. Danma reiterated that before Onizuka can become
a teacher, he must the 'test' first. Onizuka started to ridicule
him, that he had already passed the test with flying colors,
and the test he is saying is the 2-week probation at the Musashino
High School. And as he was the best trainee, he will get a
special treatment too. Danma then wondered about the TV special
report he had seen earlier in the day. Onizuka turned on the
TV, and see a female reporter, covering for the annual teacher-qualifying
test. She reported that a lot of candidates have come for
the test that will start in a few minutes. She then interviewed
a candidate before they returned to the station. And at the
station, another 2 TV presenter commented that would-be-teachers
nowadays have a lot of work to do; have to attend probation
first AND then passed the teacher qualifying test BEFORE he
or she could become a fully-qualified teacher in government
schools. Danma then say that he is right as Onizuka can only
stared at the TV in disbelief.......
In the next scene, Onizuka along with his stand-in are riding
his motorcycle at full speed, toward the examination center,
blatantly breaking the speed rules of 40km/h (he drive at
150 km/h). In just a few moments, he's now followed by police
patrol cars, while Onizuka is shouting at them for being a
nuisance, and also that he is in an emergency. He then arrived
at the center, just to be told by a sweeper that the qualifying
test had finished a long time ago. Onizuka is startled as
a lot of policemen jumped on him...
In the bar, the bartender asked the drunk Onizuka that the
establishment is closing, while Onizuka is contemplating about
his dashed dreams. As he then sit down in a backland, considering
suicide, and his stupidity, he hears his name called. He turned
and in his blurred vision, he sees Danma standing. Danma then
take him home, and in the way, tell him to just forget his
teacher's dream. Danma reiterated that Onizuka is not cut
out to become a teacher, as teachers will encounter a lot
of student problems, and sooner or later, Onizuka will regret
to become one someday. Danma the suggested some alternatives
for him, like becoming a used luxury cars dealer, or doing
e-commerce. Danma added that if they work together, they will
succeed just like the old times.
Onizuka is silent, but rejected Danma offer. Danma is a little
angry, and asked him what's so good about being a teacher,
and guessed if it because of a lot of cute chicks and because
he can marry a 16 years old female student when Onizuka is
60. Onizuka tell Danma that he is right. Danma is now pissed
off, saying that that reason is idiotic. But Onizuka countered,
that even if Danma' guess is correct, it wasn't the only reason
why he wanted to be a teacher. Onizuka then reminisced, that
during the probation, only that he realized that he is just
the same like the students he taught. Danma is startled, and
then smiled. Suddenly Onizuka vomits, because of heavy drinking.
Danma then pulled out some papers that contained the list
of private schools. Danma tell him that he get it from the
university, and some of the private schools don't need the
qualifying test results to be considered as a teacher, so
then Onizuka could try to become a private school teacher
temporarily as he waited for the next year qualifying test.
Danma then hoped for Onizuka to become the best teacher in
Japan, just as Onizuka vomited on him....,.
FINISHED.
