The clip tenure issue Part 2 from A Serious Man (2009) with Fred Melamed

Okay, Arlen Give what any weight?
Well...
We've received a number of letters
denigrating you and urging us not to...
Not to grant you tenure.
From who?
Well, they're anonymous, so we dismiss them completely.
Well, what do they say?
Well, they make allegations...
Well, allegations... Assertions.
And though we give them no credence at all, Larry.
Well, I'm not really at liberty
to discuss the specifics of the committee's deliberations.
But I think you're saying these won't play any part in your deliberations?
None whatsoever.
So what are they?
Moral turpitude, you could say.
Uh-huh. Can I ask? Are they...
Are they idiomatic?
Hmm?
The reason I ask, I have a Korean student. South Korean.
A disgruntled South Korean, and I meant to talk to you about this...
Oh, no, no They're competently, even eloquently written.
A native English speaker. There's no question about that.
Uh-huh.
Let me reiterate.
No cause for concern.
I only speak because I would feel odd concealing it.
Yes.
Yeah.
Best to Judith.
