The Meaning of Moral Fiber
Matthew Kidman
Moral fiber. So, what is moral fiber? It's funny, I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically being a fucking boy scout. But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find her, you fight for her. You risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your future, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about.

Classroom Challenge and Historical Knowledge
William Hundert
Mr. Bell, will you please finish my diagram for the class?
Robert Brewster
Oh ho, busted!
William Hundert
Octavian was also known as Augustus and his title was ______? Sedgewick looks at the blackboard like a dog staring at its reflection in water Mr. Bell! An ordinary dung beetle traveling across the floor of this classroom would know the answer to that question!
Sedgewick Bell
Uh, Emperor?
William Hundert
Correct. Can you name any of the subsequent Roman Emperors? There were forty-one.
Sedgewick Bell
I only know seven.
William Hundert
Very well. Recite them.
Sedgewick Bell
Sleepy, Grumpy, Bashful, Doc, Happy, Sneezy...Dopey.
William Hundert
Can you, in fact, name any Emperor of Rome?
Sedgewick Bell
I know four. Let me see...
Sedgewick Bell
John, Paul, Ringo and uh, George!

William Hundert
MR. BELL! A word of warning! As the great wit ] once wrote, loosely translated; "Youth ages. Immaturity is outgrown. Ignorance can be educated and drunkenness sobered, but STUPID lasts forever.
[[Aristophanes]
William Hundert
Class please recite, in chronological order, the entire line of succession for the Roman Empire.
Class
Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vepasian, Titus, Domitian, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antonius Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus, Commodus, Pertinax, Didius Julianus, Septimius Severus...

William Hundert
Thank you, class, that will do. Mr. Bell, you may be seated.

Legacy and Consequences in School Life
Sedgewick Bell
My informants tell me there is a school full of girls over there.
Martin Blythe
Guys, this is getting out of hand. If we get caught, they will kick us out and we do not get our tuition back! I cannot get expelled, I am a legacy! My father was a Mr. Julius Caesar.
Louis Massoudi
Did he ever tell you what question he won on?
Martin Blythe
Did he ever not. What two tribes invaded Rome in 102 B.C? Answer: the Teutons and the Cimbri. That was the last sentence he spoke to me before I got to Saint Benedict's and he let me out of the car.
Martin Blythe
Saint Mary's is by invitation only. I vote we go back to our dorm now!
Sedgewich Bell
Well I vote we check out Saint Mary's. What do you two say?

The Sea's Gifts and Personal Strength
Christopher McCandless / Alexander Supertramp
The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and, occasionally, the chance to feel strong. Now, I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind, deaf stone alone with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.

The Pursuit of True Happiness
Christopher McCandless / Alexander Supertramp
I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet ] life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them. And work which one hopes may be of some use. Then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor. Such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children perhaps. What more can the heart of a man desire?

A Complicated Matter of Expectations
Mr. Hundert
That was quite an interesting performance.
Sedgewick Bell
I knew you saw. How come you did not call me out?
[sullen]
Mr. Hundert
It is a complicated matter.
Sedgewick Bell
Was it on account of my father?
Mr. Hundert
That had nothing to do with your father.
Sedgewick Bell
Sure, Mr. Hundert, sure.
Mr. Ellerby
William! Quite the performance! You know, I was thinking we could move the Mr. Julius Caesar competition to Alumni Weekend, instead of just any old day. That way we could have some former winners see the competition. Just some ideas which would auger well for your headmastership.
Mr. Hundert
Sedgewick Bell cheated.
Mr. Ellerby
What?! Well, the pressure to succeed can be oppressive. Whether we think it was wrong or right, Woodbridge felt it in the school's best interest to give Sedgewick a pass. I mean, William, you did not put the boy on stage. He got that far on his own. And for that, you should be praised.
[inside office, where Hundert reveals the confrontation]
William Hundert
This began a long and rocky truce with Sedgewick Bell. Any trust we had in each other was snuffed out, as was any consideration by him with integrity and diligence. The subsequent years showed a series of pranks, crudeness and disrespect in general. As for the other students, his effect on them was almost hypnotic. He went through the motions in his classes, and his grades were an avalanche of C-s, Ds & Fs.

Mr. Woodbridge
Sedgewick Hiram Bell!
William Hundert
Although his father's connections and status guaranteed him a place at Yale, it was in the spring of 1976 with a sense of profound sadness that I handed Sedgewick Bell his diploma.

The Harsh Reality of Nature's Indifference

Moral Dilemmas in Historical Context
William Hundert
Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers. Your ] lacks conviction, Mr. Bell. You are aware of what you are saying, do you not? The fate of the Roman Republic is at stake!
[[Brutus]
William Hundert
Yes, I know not for you, but try to place yourself in the time period. You, Brutus, the noblest Roman of them all, are at the center of a conspiracy to assassinate ]! And you believe this is for the good of all Rome. But you are struggling profoundly with the moral and physical implications of what you are about to do.
[[Julius Caesar]
Sedgewick Bell
I do not agree with their plan.
William Hundert
Brutus does not agree with their plan?
Sedgewick Bell
No, I do not agree with their plan. They should've killed Marc Antony, I mean... Brutus is a pussy.
Sedgewick Bell
In the end, Marc Antony ended up taking him down, right?
William Hundert
He and Octavian, yes. In a manner of speaking.
Sedgewick Bell
If he did what the other guy suggested, uh...uh...
William Hundert
...Cassius.
Sedgewick Bell
...yeah, that is it. If he did what Cassius recommended...Brutus might have gone on to become King!
William Hundert
Emperor, as a matter of fact. Which Brutus had no desire to be.
Sedgewick Bell
Whatever! He would have won!
William Hundert
Yes, but at what cost? Do you remember the lessons of ]?
[[Socrates]
Sedgewick Bell
Not really.
William Hundert
It is not living that is important, but living properly. Socrates chose to die an unjust death, a death he freely accepted, rather than break the laws of Athens to which he pledged his loyalty!

Embracing Freedom in the Wilderness

Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Now, after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution. No longer to be poisoned by civilization, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. Alexander Supertramp. May 1992.
