Storyline
| Plot Summary |
David Greene is brought into a prestigious 1950s school to help their football team to beat the school's old rivals. David, however, is from a working class background, so he isn't really "one of them", but he's very successful at making friends. David is a Jew, and has to keep this a secret from his friends for fear of being rejected. Written by Rob Hartill |

| Goofs | Though it is a funny scene, there are only two ways that the boys could have been able to put Cleary's car in his room: Carrying it inside or disassembling the car outside and reassembling it in his room. Both are totally impossible, given the effort it would take for either method and the amount of time they had during Cleary's stroll. See more » |
