Mr. Hand:
C. D. F. F. F. Three weeks we've been talking about the Platt Amendment. What are you people - on dope? A piece of legislation was introduced into Congress by Senator John Platt. It was passed in 1906. This amendment to our Constitution has a profound impact upon all of our...
[notices Spicoli's seat is empty]

[Desmond raises hand]
Mr. Hand:
Yes, Desmond?
Desmond:
I saw him by the food machines.
Mr. Hand:
How long ago?

Mr. Hand:
[Mr. Hand goes to blackboard and writes the words "I DON'T KNOW", then underlines them]
I like that. "I *don't* know." That's nice.
Mr. Hand:
[imitating]
"Mr. Hand, will I pass this class?" "Gee, Mr. Spicoli, I don't know!" That's nice. I really like that! You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to leave your words on this board for *all* my classes to enjoy, giving you full credit of course, Mr. Spicoli.
Jeff Spicoli:
All right.
