LUCE:
         So even though

7
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:48,907
it appears as if
      an evening like this

8
00:01:48,909 --> 00:01:51,276
is meant to honor us
 for our academic achievements,

9
00:01:51,278 --> 00:01:54,079
I instead ask
      my fellow classmates

10
00:01:54,081 --> 00:01:56,281
to honor the generals
         that lead us.

11
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:58,717
Without our parents
       and our teachers,

12
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:00,919
we would be troops
   unprepared for the battles

13
00:02:00,921 --> 00:02:02,821
that lay ahead of us.

14
00:02:03,824 --> 00:02:05,991
We know the road won't be easy.

15
00:02:07,394 --> 00:02:09,828
But with your love
    and your faith,

16
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:11,697
we can be certain
we'll find a way.

17
00:02:13,167 --> 00:02:15,334
So I hope it's not going
  too far out of line

18
00:02:15,336 --> 00:02:17,236
to ask my classmates to rise...

19
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:23,142
and to take this opportunity
           to thank you...

20
00:02:23,144 --> 00:02:25,444
our teachers...

21
00:02:25,446 --> 00:02:27,146
and our parents...

22
00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:30,516
for helping us become
          who we're meant to be.

24
00:02:42,863 --> 00:02:45,464
I hope you enjoyed that
        because tomorrow

25
00:02:45,466 --> 00:02:47,199
we'll be back
     to driving you crazy.

27
00:02:50,471 --> 00:02:51,937
It was incredible.

28
00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:54,139
Here's my question:
How do we clone this guy?

29
00:02:54,141 --> 00:02:56,175
[laughter]
How do we clone him?

30
00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:57,276
Great job.

31
00:02:57,278 --> 00:02:59,011
Thank you.
        WOMAN: Excuse me.

Mr. and Mr. Edgar?
       LUCE: Ms. Wilson!

33
00:03:01,048 --> 00:03:02,514
Guys, this is Ms. Wilson,

34
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:04,183
my history
   and government teacher.

35
00:03:04,185 --> 00:03:05,551
A pleasure.

36
00:03:05,553 --> 00:03:07,052
We've heard
so much about you.

37
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:08,954
Have you?
  Well, your class.

38
00:03:08,956 --> 00:03:10,822
Luce can't stop
talking about it.

39
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:12,457
Is that so?

40
00:03:12,459 --> 00:03:15,060
Ms. Wilson's tough,
 but still one of my favorites.

41
00:03:15,062 --> 00:03:16,228
Did you like my speech?

42
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:17,362
I did.

43
00:03:17,364 --> 00:03:18,830
Ms. Wilson's
  always saying

44
00:03:18,832 --> 00:03:20,899
we should speak our minds
   no matter the cost.

45
00:03:20,901 --> 00:03:22,801
Amen to that.

46
00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:24,836
Well, it's great
to finally meet you.

47
00:03:24,838 --> 00:03:26,972
You too.

48
00:03:26,974 --> 00:03:29,208
Luce is, uh, one of our best.

49
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:31,677
He's an important
example to the school.

50
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:32,844
We're very
                   proud of him.

51
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:34,346
You should be.

00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:35,314
[Amy chuckles]

53
00:03:37,151 --> 00:03:39,084
Excuse me. Dan...

54
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:42,821
LUCE:
          I don't want
      to give another one.

55
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:45,224
Why? It makes sense
               they asked you.

56
00:03:45,226 --> 00:03:46,558
You did
                    a great job.

57
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,427
I literally just
          gave a speech.

58
00:03:48,429 --> 00:03:50,329
The more public
speaking you do,

59
00:03:50,331 --> 00:03:51,964
the better it'll look
     for college.

60
00:03:53,234 --> 00:03:54,833
You told them you'd do it,
                right?

61
00:03:56,503 --> 00:03:58,103
What do you think?

62
00:03:58,105 --> 00:03:59,171
[Amy chuckles]

63
00:04:00,374 --> 00:04:02,107
So Ms. Wilson seems nice.

64
00:04:03,177 --> 00:04:05,010
Stern...

65
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:07,012
Don't you mean a bitch?
                      Peter!

66
00:04:07,014 --> 00:04:09,948
When people say stern, they
mean bitch. You meant bitch.

67
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,850
You didn't want to say bitch
               No, I said stern.

68
00:04:11,852 --> 00:04:14,219
because you didn't want
to be politically incorrect

69
00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:15,887
but you meant bitch.
                       No.

70
00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:17,789
I know what stern
               means, thank you.

71
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:19,057
She is a bitch though.

72
00:04:19,059 --> 00:04:20,425
AMY:
  Can we not denigrate a woman

73
00:04:20,427 --> 00:04:22,427
who probably had
       to assume characteristics

74
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:24,396
[snores]
   [laughing] in order to attain

75
00:04:24,398 --> 00:04:27,132
a leadership role?

76
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:29,801
Anyway, I thought you said
     it was your favorite class.

77
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:32,537
I like the subject.
He liked the subject.

78
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:35,307
In spite of
the bitch thing.

79
00:04:35,309 --> 00:04:38,644
Okay, it's fine to
      criticize powerful women.

80
00:04:38,646 --> 00:04:41,813
Just don't use
       the sexist language.

[knocking at door]

87
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:10,242
You should make it
                  personal.

88
00:05:10,244 --> 00:05:11,677
What?

89
00:05:11,679 --> 00:05:13,278
The next speech
          they want you to give,

90
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,479
make it about you.

91
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:17,683
Okay. [chuckles]

92
00:05:19,253 --> 00:05:20,485
And listen...

93
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:24,756
You're a really good
               public speaker

94
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:27,192
and you're an
             excellent debater.

95
00:05:27,194 --> 00:05:28,994
But you have
         your own story to tell

96
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:30,495
and I think
             you should tell it.

97
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:32,864
It gives people
         something to grab onto.

98
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:36,335
Am I overstepping?

99
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:39,604
It's good advice.
       [chuckles]

100
00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:41,773
Just want to be helpful.

101
00:05:41,775 --> 00:05:42,741
You are.

102
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:46,611
I'm going to get
back to work now.

103
00:05:48,649 --> 00:05:49,681

You're gonna lose
       a limb like that.

110

See my trig textbook?
    I stashed it here yesterday.

111

No, it's not here, Orlicki.

112

Fuck me.
 You do realize

113
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:21,580
everyone gets their
 own locker, right?

114
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:23,148
Mine's on the other
           side of the building,

115
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:26,585
makes me late all the time.
       Ah, shit! Orlicki!

116
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:29,721
Heard our boy here got asked to
give another speech last night?

117
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:31,490
Seriously?
    Oh, motherfucking

118
00:06:31,492 --> 00:06:33,392
Nelson Mandela over here!

119
00:06:33,394 --> 00:06:35,026
I don't get why
              I never get asked.

120
00:06:35,028 --> 00:06:36,528
'cause you're a C+ student.

121
00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:38,830
The entire speech would be
  about porn and blunts.

122
00:06:38,832 --> 00:06:40,399

Why you staring at Luce,
       Stephanie?

128

I'm talking to you.

129
00:06:52,546 --> 00:06:54,212
Not everyone likes
 your big mouth.

130
00:06:54,214 --> 00:06:55,447
Your mama does.

131
00:06:55,449 --> 00:06:56,848
She loves my big mouth.

So was segregation.

      That's not the same.

141
00:07:15,469 --> 00:07:17,035
Explain why.

FEMALE STUDENT:
         It's just not.

143
00:07:18,472 --> 00:07:20,071
Things were
different back then.

144
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:21,373
Different how?

145
00:07:21,375 --> 00:07:23,542
Well, like that was
 a different time.

146
00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:24,943
Social norms were different.

147
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:26,478
People's expectations,

00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,779

MS. WILSON:
 Is this not important to you?

150
00:07:38,659 --> 00:07:39,658
Well?

151
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:41,827
It is.

152
00:07:41,829 --> 00:07:43,962
You might want
          to speak more clearly.

153
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:45,063
I can't hear you.

154
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:48,467
It is.

155
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:51,736
Keep in mind,
                   that for her,

156
00:07:51,738 --> 00:07:53,772
this knowledge is
          incidental but for you

157
00:07:53,774 --> 00:07:55,407
it can be
                  life or death.

158
00:07:55,409 --> 00:07:58,243
So you might want
     to treat this material

159
00:07:58,245 --> 00:08:01,179
with the seriousness
    it deserves, Mr. Meeks.

Let's have a look in here.
           Okay...

169
00:08:44,391 --> 00:08:46,825
Let's see...
        He-he! That feels funny!

170
00:08:46,827 --> 00:08:48,226
Oh yeah?

171
00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:49,494
What about that?
                      [laughs]

172
00:08:49,496 --> 00:08:51,696
Does that feel funny?
           [laughs]

173
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:53,665
Hey.

174
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,334
How do you feel about
   a weekend trip to Cornell?

175
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:58,036
PETER:<i> This weekend? </i>
            Yeah.

176
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:01,139
Maggie's sister said she'd make
    a call and get Luce some

177
00:09:01,141 --> 00:09:03,074
<i> one-on-one time</i>
      <i> with the professor.</i>

178
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:07,178
This weekend we have
        the sip-and-see.

179
00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:09,514
Oh my God!
PETER:<i> If you don't want to go,</i>

180
00:09:09,516 --> 00:09:11,216
<i> you should have said, right?</i>

181
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:14,252
Yeah, well, it's not that
 I don't want to go. I mean,

182
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:16,988
<i> I don't want to go, but-- </i>
       No, you just hate babies.

183
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:18,523
AMY:
     <i> I do not hate babies.</i>

184
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:20,559
PETER:
     I mean, I love babies!

185
00:09:20,561 --> 00:09:21,927
But you hate babies.

186
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:24,930
Well, I'm just shocked
        you're prioritizing

187
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:28,033
your ex's sip-and-see over
   your son's college education,

188
00:09:28,035 --> 00:09:29,434
but hey, that's just me.

189
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:31,570
PETER:
<i>Okay. Punchline and point made.</i>

190
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:33,104
[laughs]

191
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:35,206
Okay, fine.
 You're in charge of picking up

192
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:37,876
whatever someone brings
       to a sip-and-see.

193
00:09:37,878 --> 00:09:39,945
Got it. Okay,
                see you at home.

194
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:40,946
AMY:
            <i> See ya.</i>

195
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:46,518
[phone ringing]

196
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,485
Hello?

197
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:50,355
Yes, this is Amy.

198
00:09:52,459 --> 00:09:53,458

        On your mark...

199
00:09:54,561 --> 00:09:55,560

200
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:56,561
Go!

202
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:01,833
[cheering]

203
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,647
[cheerleaders shout in rhythm]

204
00:10:18,151 --> 00:10:20,385
[panting]

205
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,026
Yo!

206
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,031
Mrs. Edgar.
    Hi.

207
00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:36,601
I appreciate you coming
           back down here.

208
00:10:36,603 --> 00:10:39,070
Well, you have to make time
      for what's important.

209
00:10:39,072 --> 00:10:40,338
Ain't that
                  the truth.

210
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:43,274
Kids are lucky to have you.
               Thank you.

211
00:10:43,276 --> 00:10:46,144
Luce too.
    Oh, we're lucky to have him.

212
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,913
We care a great deal
          about his success.

213
00:10:48,915 --> 00:10:51,616
Peter and I too.
              Of course.

214
00:10:51,618 --> 00:10:54,419
And I know
             context matters.

215
00:10:54,421 --> 00:10:55,553
Please, sit.

216
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:59,357
Given Luce's
                background,

217
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:02,961
you and Peter must have faced
      quite a few challenges.

218
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:04,963
the language barrier,
             the culture shock.

219
00:11:04,965 --> 00:11:06,264
He's a resilient kid.

220
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:08,133
He is.
                   But it's also

221
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:09,601
a testament to
                 your parenting.

222
00:11:09,603 --> 00:11:11,703
Well, thank you.

223
00:11:11,705 --> 00:11:13,004
We had a lot of support,

224
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:15,440
especially in the
early days. I mean,

225
00:11:15,442 --> 00:11:17,308
you don't pull a kid
 out of a war zone

226
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:19,611
and have him turn out like
Luce without a lot of help.

227
00:11:19,613 --> 00:11:21,146
I bet.

228
00:11:21,148 --> 00:11:23,214
Which is why this
            is so difficult.

229
00:11:24,151 --> 00:11:25,116
Difficult?

230
00:11:29,623 --> 00:11:32,691
Last week, the class
         was given an assignment

231
00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:35,694
to write in the voice
        of an historical figure.

232
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:39,798
Some students picked FDR at the
  start of the Great Depression

233
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,066
or even Fidel Castro

234
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:43,134
at the Bay of Pigs.

235
00:11:43,136 --> 00:11:46,638
The goal was to get them
    to think outside of the box.

236
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,307
Want to make sure you understand
     where I'm coming from.

237
00:11:51,578 --> 00:11:52,777
Please.

238
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:58,149
[¶¶¶]

239
00:11:58,151 --> 00:12:03,121
[shower water running]
      [indistinct voices]

240
00:12:15,335 --> 00:12:17,001
[exhales]

241
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:24,509
Who is this Frantz Fanon?

242
00:12:24,511 --> 00:12:27,579
He was a pan-African
               revolutionary.

243
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:31,583
He argued that violence was
    a necessary cleansing force,

244
00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:33,384
that it was needed to
           free colonized people

245
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:34,586
from their rulers.

246
00:12:34,588 --> 00:12:36,955
You-you teach this?
                        I don't.

247
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:39,190
Look,

248
00:12:39,192 --> 00:12:41,860
I won't pretend
         to know what it's like

249
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:44,763
for Luce to confront
    certain aspects of who he is

250
00:12:44,765 --> 00:12:47,098
and it's not
           within my purview

251
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,535
to say what a boy who spent
       his first 10 years in...

252
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:51,503
Eritrea.

253
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:53,705
Right.

254
00:12:53,707 --> 00:12:55,206
What that might
             have been like,

255
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:57,742
what kind of adjustments
          he must have made

256
00:12:57,744 --> 00:12:58,943
in order to fit in here.

257
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,812
And I don't know

258
00:13:00,814 --> 00:13:03,414
the details of his treatment--
I'm sure you've heard

259
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:05,150
he went through
    years of recovery

260
00:13:05,152 --> 00:13:07,886
and he showed no signs of--
      I-I didn't mean to imply--

261
00:13:07,888 --> 00:13:09,888
I just want to be clear
     that whatever

262
00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:13,224
violence he both suffered and
  inflicted during that time

263
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:15,827
was dealt with,
   it's been processed.

264
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:17,228
Of course.

265
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:20,165
But with the climate
        around school security

266
00:13:20,167 --> 00:13:23,101
the way it is right now,
  you can understand my concern.

267
00:13:23,103 --> 00:13:24,435
Yes.

268
00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:25,737
Which is why I felt

269
00:13:25,739 --> 00:13:27,739
I needed to search
                 his locker.

270
00:13:27,741 --> 00:13:29,741
I'm sorry?
                    Amy...

271
00:13:29,743 --> 00:13:31,109
He wrote a paper.

272
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:33,144
A paper in which
                  he describes

273
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:35,647
his belief that the solution
       to a political problem

274
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:37,749
is to gun down those
         with whom you disagree.

275
00:13:37,751 --> 00:13:39,584
Right. But he was
assuming a character.

276
00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:41,986
The assignment called
  for this and you--

277
00:13:45,926 --> 00:13:47,692
I found this in his locker.

278
00:13:51,665 --> 00:13:52,797
No.
                            Amy.

279
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:53,798
No, I'm sorry.

280
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,100
I respect my son's privacy.

281
00:13:56,102 --> 00:13:58,269
Now, he wrote a paper
        that scared you. Fine.

282
00:13:58,271 --> 00:13:59,470
That's between
     you and him.

283
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:01,206
But I won't,
    I will not violate

284
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:03,341
his right to the privacy
         he's owed.

285
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,276
They're fireworks.

286
00:14:05,278 --> 00:14:07,779
Illegal and very dangerous
              fireworks.

287
00:14:07,781 --> 00:14:10,014
They could put a hole
        in the wall, let alone--

288
00:14:10,016 --> 00:14:11,983
Where are you going with this?

289
00:14:11,985 --> 00:14:14,485
Right now I'm the only one
        who knows about them,

290
00:14:14,487 --> 00:14:16,888
but what if someone else
          were to find them?

291
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:19,958
If someone who didn't know
      Luce the way you and I do

292
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,994
were to stumble on this within
  the context of his background

293
00:14:22,996 --> 00:14:24,596
having written this...

294
00:14:25,498 --> 00:14:26,531
Take them.

295
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,266
Talk to him.

296
00:14:30,337 --> 00:14:33,204
Who he is is too important
            to this school

297
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,672
for him to fuck it up.

298
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:36,941
He can't fuck it up.

299
00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:40,078
Talk to him, please.

300
00:14:45,652 --> 00:14:46,718
I will.

301
00:14:48,855 --> 00:14:50,822
ORLICKI:
    You're the one who keeps
    talking about Stephanie.

302
00:14:50,824 --> 00:14:52,323
COREY: I'm not!
     The fuck is wrong with you?

303
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:54,225
Shut it!
                     Get off me!

304
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,327
COREY:
      You should have kept
 your mouth shut, little shit.

305
00:14:56,329 --> 00:14:57,495
ORLICKI:
          I told you!

306
00:14:57,497 --> 00:14:58,997
Yo, what the hell! Come on!

307
00:14:58,999 --> 00:15:00,765
He told everybody!
             Fuck you!

308
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:04,168
[indistinct shouting]

309
00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:05,904
If this gets out,
it's on your two.

310
00:15:05,906 --> 00:15:07,338
Both of you!
           COACH: Yo!

311
00:15:09,109 --> 00:15:11,743
Everything okay?
 Everything's fine, coach.

312
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:16,881
Luce, my office.

313
00:15:16,883 --> 00:15:18,116
Sure thing.

314
00:15:25,292 --> 00:15:26,758
AMY:
   You read the whole thing?

315
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,126
Yeah.

316
00:15:28,128 --> 00:15:30,595
Okay, yeah, kids get
     taken with ideas.

317
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:31,930
Look, he probably stumbled

318
00:15:31,932 --> 00:15:33,865
across Frantz Fanon
         on the internet

319
00:15:33,867 --> 00:15:35,466
and went overboard.

320
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:37,902
I read the Communist Manifesto
    when I was an undergrad

321
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:40,038
and called people
 comrade for a month.

322
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,874
Yeah, well, I think he's
    a little too smart for that.

323
00:15:42,876 --> 00:15:45,443
Not too smart to have
explosives in his locker.

324
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:47,645
They're fireworks.
Illegal fireworks

325
00:15:47,647 --> 00:15:49,614
Still--
that have explosive capacity,

326
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:51,749
I Googled this,
of a shotgun blast.

327
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:52,750
They're fireworks.

It's not shocking.

That is shocking.

A terrorist?
                No.

335
00:16:10,804 --> 00:16:12,303
No. Of course not.
What then?

00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:14,472
I don't know. It's just
       something's going on

00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:32,357
Nothing.

00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:34,325

Cool.
             Great.

           We won't.

00:17:04,824 --> 00:17:06,891
we've gone through his things.

         Come on, Pete.

How many years did it take us
        to get him here?

361

How many nights did I crawl
    underneath that bed

362
00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:17,502

        to sleep in it?

Told us what?
               You clearly know.

391
00:18:47,494 --> 00:18:49,827
Nothing. It's just...

392
00:18:51,064 --> 00:18:52,697
You really don't like her,
         do you?

393
00:18:53,566 --> 00:18:54,732
It's complicated.

Sort of...
       Not a clue.

397
00:19:04,511 --> 00:19:06,344
She came over one time last...

398
00:19:06,346 --> 00:19:08,412
AMY: Go on.
                  Anyway.

399
00:19:08,414 --> 00:19:10,348
There were rumors
          going around about her

400
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:11,983
after this party
          a few weeks ago.

401
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:14,352
What kind of rumors?
        Oh, people were drinking

402
00:19:14,354 --> 00:19:16,787
and no one really knows
       what happened, but, um...

403
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,356
Stephanie got
              kind of messed up.

404
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:19,857
Something happened
               with some guys.

405
00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:21,659
Then Wilson got involved

406
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:23,794
and no one really
            could prove anything

407
00:19:23,796 --> 00:19:26,631
but she kept using Stephanie
        as like an example.

408
00:19:26,633 --> 00:19:28,166
turning her
                  into a victim.

409
00:19:28,168 --> 00:19:30,001
How?
                          Well,

410
00:19:30,003 --> 00:19:33,204
we'll be talking about women
    in Middle East or something

411
00:19:33,206 --> 00:19:35,706
and she singles her out,
          says some shit like,

412
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:38,309
"We all know firsthand
   how important it is for women

413
00:19:38,311 --> 00:19:40,978
to have the courage
         to stand up, to fight."

414
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:42,547
AMY: I don't understand.

415
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:44,348
It's not exactly
    singling her out.

416
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:45,850
It's how she says it.

417
00:19:45,852 --> 00:19:47,451
Like everyone's
                a symbol to her.

418
00:19:47,453 --> 00:19:49,720
Stephanie, Deshaun,
                 we all exist

419
00:19:49,722 --> 00:19:52,190
to confirm the world
         is the way she sees it.

420
00:19:52,192 --> 00:19:53,991
AMY:
      So does she do that
    kind of thing with you?

421
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:55,826

                Are you kidding?

00:20:03,169 --> 00:20:05,203
So you don't like her
    labeling you?

426
00:20:05,205 --> 00:20:07,305
I don't like tokenism.

427
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:09,640
What's the difference
       between punishing someone

428
00:20:09,642 --> 00:20:12,577
for being a stereotype and
  rewarding them if they're not?

429
00:20:12,579 --> 00:20:14,645
One of the two
comes with benefits.

430
00:20:14,647 --> 00:20:16,147
What you'd call a benefit,

431
00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:17,748
I'd call a responsibility
           I didn't ask for.

432
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:20,451
Okay, what about responsibility
       to tell the truth?

433
00:20:21,521 --> 00:20:22,520
What?
        Peter...

434
00:20:22,522 --> 00:20:23,754
So, one of the

435
00:20:23,756 --> 00:20:25,756
benefits you get
    is benefit of the doubt.

436
00:20:25,758 --> 00:20:27,992
A chance to explain yourself.
             Explain myself?

00:20:27,994 --> 00:20:29,327
AMY: Enough.
Whereas another student

00:20:29,329 --> 00:20:30,828
might not. So...

  you want to tell us?

        just to get rid of them?

00:24:25,731 --> 00:24:26,831
LUCE:
          My argument

478
00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:29,099
is premised on
                two court cases:

479
00:24:29,101 --> 00:24:31,469
Goss v. Lopez,
                      1975,

480
00:24:31,471 --> 00:24:34,672
and New Jersey
                v. T.L.O., 1985.

481
00:24:34,674 --> 00:24:37,842
In Goss, an Ohio school
        suspended nine students

482
00:24:37,844 --> 00:24:39,143
for delinquent behavior,

483
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:40,845
but the Supreme Court found

484
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:43,414
that depriving students of
     their right to an education

485
00:24:43,416 --> 00:24:44,582
without
                     due process

486
00:24:44,584 --> 00:24:46,784
is a violation
        of their civil rights.

487
00:24:46,786 --> 00:24:48,486
Ms. Wilson,
    do you agree with that?

488
00:24:48,488 --> 00:24:50,287
I'm sorry?

489
00:24:50,289 --> 00:24:51,956
LUCE:
  Do you agree that those kids

490
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:54,525
were deprived of
             their civil rights?

491
00:24:54,527 --> 00:24:57,695
I don't know the specifics
        of the case but

492
00:24:57,697 --> 00:25:00,264
the principal--
   Principal makes sense, right?

493
00:25:00,266 --> 00:25:01,632
Education is a civil right.

494
00:25:01,634 --> 00:25:03,033
Everyone should have
           civil rights.

495
00:25:03,035 --> 00:25:05,135
Right.
             In the second case

496
00:25:05,137 --> 00:25:08,806
a student is accused of smoking
     in the school bathroom,

497
00:25:08,808 --> 00:25:10,374
but there's no proof.

498
00:25:10,376 --> 00:25:12,877
The charge is premised
       on a teacher's suspicion.

499
00:25:12,879 --> 00:25:16,113
So the principal searched
  her purse and found cigarettes

500
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:18,115
and marijuana-related
               paraphernalia.

501
00:25:18,117 --> 00:25:19,450
Do you agree with that?

502
00:25:19,452 --> 00:25:21,218
What did the court say?

503
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:22,720
The court found that students

504
00:25:22,722 --> 00:25:25,689
have a reduced expectation
        of privacy in schools.

505
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,358
It makes sense.

506
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:28,792
Does it?

507
00:25:28,794 --> 00:25:33,564
A school is a unique
      social institution.

508
00:25:33,566 --> 00:25:35,666
It's populated by people
       who aren't adults

509
00:25:35,668 --> 00:25:38,402
in the eyes of the law.
  People who have to be here.

510
00:25:38,404 --> 00:25:40,538
Students.
Yes.

511
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:41,805
Students are half people.

512
00:25:41,807 --> 00:25:43,173
LENA:
             Luce,

513
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:45,142
is there a specific
           question you have

514
00:25:45,144 --> 00:25:47,344
that Ms. Wilson
       might be able to address?

515
00:25:47,346 --> 00:25:48,345
Totally.

516
00:25:48,347 --> 00:25:50,481
Thanks Ms. Tennyson.

517
00:25:50,483 --> 00:25:52,383
Um, basically my question

518
00:25:52,385 --> 00:25:54,518
that I hope Ms. Wilson
             can help me with

519
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,555
is around this idea
          of reduced expectation

520
00:25:57,557 --> 00:26:00,758
versus the affirmation by the
  court of student civil rights.

521
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Like what are the criteria
            for evaluating

522
00:26:02,762 --> 00:26:04,528
what's a violation
                of privacy?

523
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:06,263
Is privacy a civil right?

524
00:26:06,265 --> 00:26:07,598
LUCE:
          I think so.

525
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,466
Maybe the law isn't so sure.

526
00:26:11,938 --> 00:26:14,338
If I went through your desk
        without you knowing,

527
00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:16,307
would you feel like
      your privacy was violated?

528
00:26:18,578 --> 00:26:20,377
Yes, I would.

529
00:26:20,379 --> 00:26:22,279
So?

530
00:26:22,281 --> 00:26:24,515
Feelings aren't
       a legal argument.

531
00:26:24,517 --> 00:26:27,451
In the New Jersey case,
          the teacher assumed

532
00:26:27,453 --> 00:26:29,720
the girl was guilty
       because of her feelings.

533
00:26:29,722 --> 00:26:32,690
That's called
     reasonable suspicion.

534
00:26:32,692 --> 00:26:35,593
It's all the police need
      to search your car.

535
00:26:35,595 --> 00:26:38,128
LUCE:
So it's about what's reasonable.

536
00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:40,631
That's what courts are for.

537
00:26:42,234 --> 00:26:45,069
Really it's just about
        people though, right?

538
00:26:45,071 --> 00:26:47,371
Whether they conform
      to what we think they are.

539
00:26:49,041 --> 00:26:50,207
It's not that simple.

540
00:26:51,277 --> 00:26:52,610
Nothing ever is.

541
00:26:55,982 --> 00:26:57,648
[school bell rings]

542
00:26:57,650 --> 00:26:59,817
Thank you so much
      for your help, Ms. Wilson.

543
00:26:59,819 --> 00:27:01,418
This was,
          this was great, right?

544
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,587
Any time.

545
00:27:03,589 --> 00:27:05,823
God, that kid is
       something else, isn't he?

548
00:27:17,403 --> 00:27:19,036
All right, people,
   phones away.

549
00:27:20,673 --> 00:27:21,939
I see you, Sasha.

550
00:27:21,941 --> 00:27:23,841
And you too,
Stephanie Kim.

551
00:27:25,578 --> 00:27:27,578
All right.
 CHEERLEADERS: It's show time!

552
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:29,079
You fucked up.
      And bro,

553
00:27:29,081 --> 00:27:31,115
you can't just go slamming
Orlicki against a locker.

554
00:27:31,117 --> 00:27:32,516
He's out there
              telling everybody.

555
00:27:32,518 --> 00:27:35,119
It's nothing half the school
    didn't already know.

556
00:27:35,121 --> 00:27:37,121
Besides, I talked
   to Stephanie.

557
00:27:37,123 --> 00:27:38,956
You two still talk?

558
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:40,658
Not really, but someone
  had to resolve this

559
00:27:40,660 --> 00:27:42,926
before it blows up.
           Is she gonna be cool?

560
00:27:42,928 --> 00:27:44,261
Yeah.
           Is she gonna be cool?

561
00:27:44,263 --> 00:27:45,929
Everything's going
       to be cool, man.

562
00:27:45,931 --> 00:27:48,766
Just squash the beef
with Orlicki, all right?

563
00:27:48,768 --> 00:27:51,335
Corey!
       All right, man. Whatever.

564
00:27:54,473 --> 00:27:57,441

      Since Wilson got him
      tossed off the team,

566
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:00,944
he's been messed up.

567
00:28:05,651 --> 00:28:08,118
I'll catch you later, man.

568
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,420
Yo.
               Yeah.

[phone chimes]

570
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:21,165
MS. WILSON:
       We agreed on this.

571
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:24,301
If you live with me,
you have to be responsible for--

572
00:28:24,303 --> 00:28:27,304
All I ask is if you're staying
   on top of your medication.

573
00:28:28,641 --> 00:28:30,507
I know what the doctor
        said, Rosemary.

574
00:28:30,509 --> 00:28:32,910
It doesn't mean
    I'm comfortable with it.

575
00:28:32,912 --> 00:28:35,045
MS. WILSON:
Out of everyone in this family,

576
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,513
I've been there for you
      time and time again.

577
00:28:36,515 --> 00:28:37,514
I resent that.

578
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:39,083
[knocks on door]
                       Hey.

579
00:28:39,085 --> 00:28:41,752
I gotta go, Rose.
      We'll talk tonight.

580
00:28:44,356 --> 00:28:46,890
Everything okay?
              Everything's fine.

581
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:48,826
Family stuff?

582
00:28:48,828 --> 00:28:50,327
Personal business, yes.

583
00:28:50,329 --> 00:28:51,295
Gotcha.

584
00:28:52,698 --> 00:28:54,765
Um, thanks for your
        guidance this morning.

585
00:28:54,767 --> 00:28:56,667
It really helped
             make my case.

586
00:28:56,669 --> 00:28:58,569
I'm glad.

587
00:28:58,571 --> 00:29:00,237
You wanted to see me?

588
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:02,873
I wanted to talk to you about
       your assignment, Luce.

589
00:29:02,875 --> 00:29:04,374
What about it?

590
00:29:04,376 --> 00:29:06,510
I assumed you spoke
          to your mother...

591
00:29:06,512 --> 00:29:09,680
I haven't gotten it back yet.
How could I talk my mom of it?

592
00:29:11,383 --> 00:29:14,084
Well, I'll just say, uh...

593
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:15,953
After reading it,
         I have some concerns

594
00:29:15,955 --> 00:29:17,688
for some of
       the arguments you made.

595
00:29:17,690 --> 00:29:19,356
Well they aren't mine.

596
00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:20,591
Excuse me?

597
00:29:20,593 --> 00:29:22,459
The arguments,
they're Frantz Fanon's.

598
00:29:22,461 --> 00:29:24,228
I realize that.

599
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:25,929
The assignment was
 to write in his voice.

600
00:29:25,931 --> 00:29:27,798
You really think
  I believe that stuff?

601
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,434
Well, I don't know.

602
00:29:30,436 --> 00:29:33,437
If I didn't know you, Luce,
   it would be reasonable for me

603
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:35,305
to read that assignment
           and conclude--

604
00:29:35,307 --> 00:29:36,440
But you do know me.

605
00:29:39,278 --> 00:29:41,245
Look, um,

606
00:29:41,247 --> 00:29:43,247
I'm sorry if I scared you.

607
00:29:43,249 --> 00:29:45,549
I just wanted to do
        a good job.

608
00:29:45,551 --> 00:29:47,651
You did do a good job.

609
00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:49,219
I mean, I get it.

610
00:29:49,221 --> 00:29:50,988
Get what?
Well, I get

611
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:53,991
how someone who learned how to
shoot a gun before driving a car

612
00:29:53,993 --> 00:29:55,392
writing something like that

613
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:57,161
might make someone
   freaked out.

614
00:29:58,798 --> 00:30:01,398
I just hope you know me
better than that, Ms. Wilson.

615
00:30:03,002 --> 00:30:05,469
I like to think
           that I do, Luce.

616
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,840
Anything else you wanted
   to talk to me about?

617
00:30:10,409 --> 00:30:11,809
No.

618
00:30:11,811 --> 00:30:13,510
Tell your mom
       I'd like her to call me.

619
00:30:14,013 --> 00:30:15,012
Why?

620
00:30:16,515 --> 00:30:18,182
Because I want
        to speak with her.

621
00:30:19,018 --> 00:30:20,951
What about? I mean,

622
00:30:20,953 --> 00:30:24,087
I guess it's about me unless you
guys are friends or something.

623
00:30:24,089 --> 00:30:25,622
Please have her
 call me, Luce.

624
00:30:25,624 --> 00:30:27,157
Thank you for
 stopping in.

625
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:28,325
Of course.

626
00:30:33,632 --> 00:30:34,898
Hey, Ms. Wilson...

627
00:30:36,035 --> 00:30:37,634
What's your favorite holiday?

628
00:30:37,636 --> 00:30:41,171
Excuse me?
What's your favorite holiday?

629
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,473
I don't know.
           Christmas maybe.

630
00:30:43,475 --> 00:30:44,875
Mine is Independence Day.

[¶¶¶]

632
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:48,445
Before I came here,

633
00:30:48,447 --> 00:30:50,848
I didn't know
    a single holiday and

634
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:54,618
I remember my mom trying
   to explain what they were.

635
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:57,120
It's a hard concept to grasp
    if you've never of it,

636
00:30:57,122 --> 00:30:58,722
but,

637
00:30:58,724 --> 00:31:01,158
once I learned them all,
my favorite, hands down,

638
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,861
has always been
Independence Day.

639
00:31:03,863 --> 00:31:04,862
Why is that?

640
00:31:04,864 --> 00:31:06,730
I like what it represents.

641
00:31:08,234 --> 00:31:10,167
Freedom,

642
00:31:10,169 --> 00:31:11,201
strength,

643
00:31:12,671 --> 00:31:13,871
individuality.

644
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:19,042
Also I love the fireworks.
        The lights.

645
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,244
Poof!

646
00:31:22,014 --> 00:31:25,148
Luce, I'd like to remind you
that you're still a student here

647
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:27,317
and I am your teacher.

648
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:31,521
And regardless of what you may
  view as some sort of injustice

649
00:31:31,523 --> 00:31:33,523
What are you talking about?
                   ...or unfair,

650
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:36,260
just remember how things
   are organized around here.

651
00:31:38,097 --> 00:31:40,130
Totally.
    I'll see you around.

652
00:31:51,377 --> 00:31:54,211
The financials from Cusack.
             Thanks, Beth.

653
00:31:54,213 --> 00:31:56,046
Quarter end payments
           went out, right?

654
00:31:56,048 --> 00:31:59,950
Yes.
     [cell phone vibrating]

655
00:32:02,855 --> 00:32:03,854
Yeah?

656
00:32:06,225 --> 00:32:08,825
Ms. Wilson.
                    How are you?

657
00:32:13,866 --> 00:32:15,632
Why is she calling you?

658
00:32:15,634 --> 00:32:18,201
Well, last I checked
         I'm one of two parents.

659
00:32:18,203 --> 00:32:20,203
Yeah, but she was
          communicating with me

660
00:32:20,205 --> 00:32:21,705
and now she's calling you?

661
00:32:21,707 --> 00:32:24,374
Well, we're both available
  to talk about our son.

662
00:32:24,376 --> 00:32:28,045
This woman has some kind
       of vendetta against Luce.

663
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:29,479
Vendetta? Really?
             Yeah.

664
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:31,882
She has some<i> thing </i>
 with him and now,

665
00:32:31,884 --> 00:32:33,917
now she's trying to
             divide and conquer.

666
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:35,385
Nice word choice.

667
00:32:35,387 --> 00:32:36,920
What she did
              with Stephanie Kim

668
00:32:36,922 --> 00:32:38,989
and what she's trying
            to do now with Luce,

669
00:32:38,991 --> 00:32:41,825
this woman holds different kids
  to different standards based--

670
00:32:41,827 --> 00:32:44,328
Did you see or hear what
 she did to that girl?

671
00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:47,130
I've heard enough to know.
From Luce, yeah.

672
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:51,001
Yes, from our son, who has
     always been honest with us.

673
00:32:51,003 --> 00:32:53,603
Except about having illegal
  fireworks in his locker.

674
00:32:53,605 --> 00:32:55,305
He didn't lie about that.

675
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,507
Is that so?
          Not telling us

676
00:32:57,509 --> 00:32:59,676
and lying are two
        different things.

677
00:32:59,678 --> 00:33:01,945
And what if there's
  a pattern here?

678
00:33:01,947 --> 00:33:03,413
A pattern?
       Yeah.

679
00:33:03,415 --> 00:33:05,282
The paper, the fireworks,
       the threat--

680
00:33:05,284 --> 00:33:07,617
Peter...

681
00:33:07,619 --> 00:33:09,853
We have to be at least open to
                 Absolutely not.

682
00:33:09,855 --> 00:33:12,089
the possibility that
        our son is capable of...

683
00:33:12,091 --> 00:33:14,992
Of what? Capable of what?

684
00:33:14,994 --> 00:33:16,927
Tell me you know
   he's a good kid, Pete.

685
00:33:16,929 --> 00:33:18,628
Tell me if shit
 hits the fan,

686
00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:20,330
we aren't about
to abandon our son.

687
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:22,332
We're not going to abandon him.
Our black son to a system

688
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,668
that already wants
to shit all over him.

689
00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:29,673
It's our job to protect him,
     to have his back.

690
00:33:29,675 --> 00:33:31,274
That's part of it.
                 It's our job

691
00:33:31,276 --> 00:33:32,943
to do what's right.
                      By him.

692
00:33:32,945 --> 00:33:34,644
To do what's
                   right by him.

693
00:33:34,646 --> 00:33:36,146
[keys jangling]

694
00:33:36,148 --> 00:33:37,547
Luce!
                   Yeah?

695
00:33:37,549 --> 00:33:39,349
Got a minute?
You said you'd do this my way.

696
00:33:39,351 --> 00:33:41,184
PETER: Yeah.
               What's up?

697
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:42,652
Did you threaten
 your teacher?

698
00:33:42,654 --> 00:33:43,687
Honey...
               Excuse me?

699
00:33:43,689 --> 00:33:44,688
You heard me.

700
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:45,689
Did I threaten...?

701
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,958
Ms. Wilson called.

702
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,559
Ms. Wilson said
       I threatened her?

703
00:33:49,561 --> 00:33:50,794
Did you?

704
00:33:50,796 --> 00:33:52,162
What did she say?
  She said--

705
00:33:52,164 --> 00:33:54,131
Never mind what she said.
            What did you do?

706
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:55,732
She asked me
          to come and see her.

707
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:57,300
And?

708
00:33:57,302 --> 00:33:59,669
I thanked her for helping
 me with my debate case.

709
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:01,838
She helped you?
Yeah, her and Principal Dan.

710
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,907
Why would I
                  threaten her?

711
00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:05,909
What did she want
           to talk to you about?

712
00:34:05,911 --> 00:34:08,011
A paper.
We had a misunderstanding.

713
00:34:08,013 --> 00:34:09,980
I apologized for it.

714
00:34:09,982 --> 00:34:11,882
You say anything about
             the 4th of July?

715
00:34:11,884 --> 00:34:13,183
What?
    Honey...

716
00:34:13,185 --> 00:34:15,185
About fireworks?
       How is that a threat?

717
00:34:15,187 --> 00:34:17,654
Did you or did you not say
something about the 4th of July?

718
00:34:17,656 --> 00:34:19,689
I said the 4th of July
  was my favorite holiday.

719
00:34:19,691 --> 00:34:21,058
Why would you say that?

720
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:22,726
I thought we were
having a conversation.

721
00:34:22,728 --> 00:34:24,327
She says I threatened her?

722
00:34:24,329 --> 00:34:26,163
I need you to be straight
         with me for a second.

723
00:34:26,165 --> 00:34:27,731
When am I not?
                    Hey!

724
00:34:31,336 --> 00:34:32,302
Sure.

725
00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:37,674
So is there anything
        you want to tell us?

726
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:40,043
No.
            You sure about that?

727
00:34:40,045 --> 00:34:41,845
Am I sure about what?
  Jesus, if you guys

728
00:34:41,847 --> 00:34:43,513
want to ask me--
                Why did you have

729
00:34:43,515 --> 00:34:45,549
illegal fireworks
                in your locker?

730
00:34:45,551 --> 00:34:46,917
LUCE: What?
                Why did you have

731
00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:48,785
illegal fireworks
                in your locker?

732
00:34:48,787 --> 00:34:51,054
I didn't.
Luce, don't lie to me.

733
00:34:51,056 --> 00:34:52,456
I'm not.
    Luce!

734
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:54,057
How would you know
           what's in my locker?

735
00:34:54,059 --> 00:34:56,726
Harriet told us.
Harriet has a lot to say.

736
00:34:56,728 --> 00:34:59,096
Never mind what she said.
         Did you or didn't you?

737
00:34:59,098 --> 00:35:01,698
Not that I know of.
    Oh, you know what?

738
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:04,367
Fuck this.
     We share lockers.

739
00:35:04,369 --> 00:35:06,369
The guys on the team
       share lockers.

740
00:35:06,371 --> 00:35:09,106
Half my shit is in Orlicki's,
   half his shit is in mine.

741
00:35:09,108 --> 00:35:11,108
I don't know what 90%
of the crap at the bottom is,

742
00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:13,110
let alone who it belongs to.
So...

743
00:35:13,112 --> 00:35:15,278
So not everything in
  my locker belongs to me.

744
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:17,614
Okay, good.

745
00:35:19,051 --> 00:35:20,050
That's good.

746
00:35:20,052 --> 00:35:21,418
Now, you understand

747
00:35:21,420 --> 00:35:23,120
why it's important
                   to know

748
00:35:23,122 --> 00:35:25,789
not only what's in your locker,
      but who it belongs to.

749
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:27,224
Yes.
  Right?

750
00:35:27,226 --> 00:35:28,558
You can't blindly
trust people to...

751
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,795
Okay. You seriously
                buy this shit?

752
00:35:34,399 --> 00:35:35,532
Seriously?

753
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:40,937
So someone just happens to leave
   a bag of illegal fireworks

754
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:43,340
in your locker
and you have no idea?

755
00:35:43,342 --> 00:35:47,310
And then this teacher,
 who you don't like,

756
00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:50,780
unjustifiably searches
your locker and finds them.

757
00:35:50,782 --> 00:35:52,349
You're just an
                  unlucky victim

758
00:35:52,351 --> 00:35:54,618
of circumstance, right?
      It's the truth.

759
00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:56,586
That doesn't sound
     like the truth to me.

760
00:35:56,588 --> 00:35:58,221
That sounds like bullshit.

761
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:06,763
You believe me?

762
00:36:13,272 --> 00:36:14,704
We can figure this out.

763
00:36:18,110 --> 00:36:19,376

      I didn't tell anyone
 about Stephanie or the party.

Corey should calm
  the fuck down.

770
00:38:24,569 --> 00:38:26,336
I talked to him,
              everything's fine.

771
00:38:26,338 --> 00:38:28,772
Yeah, tell that to the bruise
      on my fucking neck.

772
00:38:28,774 --> 00:38:30,940
You gotta understand
         where he's coming from.

773
00:38:30,942 --> 00:38:32,642
Your dad went
                   to Dartmouth.

774
00:38:32,644 --> 00:38:34,244
Your granddad
              went to Dartmouth.

775
00:38:34,246 --> 00:38:36,446
Your dog could probably
           get into Dartmouth.

[laughter]

777
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:40,283
Corey
              doesn't have that.

   and he's the next Deshaun.

Can't be walking around
    at night smelling high, bro.

780
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:50,527
You seriously think
someone's gonna stop you?

781
00:38:50,529 --> 00:38:53,797
I'm not interested in being
       the next Deshaun either.

782
00:38:53,799 --> 00:38:55,665
You're not like Deshaun.

783
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:57,500
We're both black,
                    Orlicki.

784
00:38:57,502 --> 00:39:01,404
Yeah, but he's
like black-black.

785
00:39:03,175 --> 00:39:04,841
Then what am I?

786
00:39:04,843 --> 00:39:06,176
You're Luce.

790
00:39:33,805 --> 00:39:36,005
What are you doing?

791
00:39:36,007 --> 00:39:37,640
Where were you?

792
00:39:37,642 --> 00:39:40,577
I went for a run.
              What do you want?

793
00:39:40,579 --> 00:39:42,512
I just wanted
              to apologize

794
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:44,147
for before.

795
00:39:44,149 --> 00:39:45,749
Your father...
   ...thinks I'm a liar?

796
00:39:45,751 --> 00:39:50,019
No, he-he's confused.
                We both are.

797
00:39:50,021 --> 00:39:50,987
Confused about what?

798
00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:54,858
I told you the kind
  of person Wilson is.

799
00:39:54,860 --> 00:39:56,559
You don't conform
  to what she wants

800
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:57,994
and suddenly
 you're the enemy.

801
00:39:58,663 --> 00:40:00,697
Look...

802
00:40:00,699 --> 00:40:03,533
I know it can seem unfair
  how much people expect of you.

803
00:40:03,535 --> 00:40:04,567
You don't, though.

804
00:40:05,570 --> 00:40:06,870
You can't.

805
00:40:06,872 --> 00:40:08,772

   I'm working so hard

                       What?

808
00:40:11,843 --> 00:40:14,210
Just what?
             I can't be perfect.

809
00:40:14,212 --> 00:40:15,779
No one expects you
        to be perfect.

Wilson does.

811

Believe it or not, she's
just trying to protect you.

812
00:40:20,385 --> 00:40:23,386
She's trying to protect
             her idea of me.

813
00:40:23,388 --> 00:40:25,355
Same as you and him.

00:40:26,124 --> 00:40:27,524
That's not fair.

I don't normally get
     to go places,

    a treat for me.

She should come.
              Right, Ms. Wilson?

to know that Mike Jeffs

00:50:06,004 --> 00:50:08,838
No. Please, sit.

971
00:50:10,375 --> 00:50:12,875
They screwed up the order.
 I asked for cappuccinos

972
00:50:12,877 --> 00:50:14,510
and they gave us
    Frappuccinos.

973
00:50:14,512 --> 00:50:16,379
I like these more.
      Oh, you do?

974
00:50:16,381 --> 00:50:19,215
Can't make it to the dinner
 without at least three of them.

975
00:50:19,217 --> 00:50:22,351
Okay.
     [both laugh awkwardly]

976
00:50:22,353 --> 00:50:25,855
Thank you.
   No, thank you for, um,

977
00:50:25,857 --> 00:50:28,457
meeting me.
This must be a little weird.

978
00:50:28,459 --> 00:50:30,459
It is.

979
00:50:30,461 --> 00:50:33,195
Okay. Um, yeah, well
I guess I was hoping

980
00:50:33,197 --> 00:50:36,532
you could help me with
something to do with Luce.

981
00:50:36,534 --> 00:50:38,234
We don't really
             talk a lot anymore.

982
00:50:38,236 --> 00:50:42,838
Oh, you don't?
          Not since we broke up.

983
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,206
What?

984
00:50:44,208 --> 00:50:45,975
You didn't know
                   we broke up?

985
00:50:45,977 --> 00:50:47,743
I didn't know you dated.

986
00:50:48,546 --> 00:50:49,612
Oh.

987
00:50:51,382 --> 00:50:53,449
Um, for how long?

988
00:50:55,753 --> 00:50:57,586
Um... Mrs. Edgar,

989
00:50:57,588 --> 00:50:59,155
I don't feel
                    comfortable

990
00:50:59,157 --> 00:51:00,923
telling you about me and Luce.
     Yeah, of course.

991
00:51:00,925 --> 00:51:04,160
Because I don't know
           why you want to know.

992
00:51:04,162 --> 00:51:07,363
Okay. Let me explain myself.
                      Yeah.

993
00:51:07,365 --> 00:51:10,366
This is about Harriet Wilson.
                     What?

994
00:51:10,368 --> 00:51:12,568
I need to know
what she did to you.

995
00:51:12,570 --> 00:51:14,203
Because Luce told us

996
00:51:14,205 --> 00:51:17,106
that when she found out
what happened at the party...

997
00:51:17,108 --> 00:51:20,076
Luce swore he wouldn't tell
     what happened at the party.

998
00:51:20,078 --> 00:51:22,178
I thought he didn't know
      what happened.

999
00:51:24,382 --> 00:51:25,414
I should go.

1000
00:51:25,416 --> 00:51:27,283
No, wait.
Stephanie, please.

1001
00:51:27,285 --> 00:51:29,051
Listen to me.

1002
00:51:29,053 --> 00:51:32,521
I just want to know
  the truth, Okay?

1003
00:51:32,523 --> 00:51:35,791
Now, if Ms. Wilson made you
feel like whatever happened

1004
00:51:35,793 --> 00:51:39,061
should be some kind of
   a political statement,

1005
00:51:39,063 --> 00:51:40,596
then that's wrong of her.

1006
00:51:40,598 --> 00:51:44,100
As women what we need to do
   is support each other.

1007
00:51:44,102 --> 00:51:45,201
Do you understand?

1008
00:51:47,038 --> 00:51:48,270
I'm not sure.

1009
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:50,406
I want to support you.

1010
00:51:50,408 --> 00:51:52,341
You deserve to be supported.

1011
00:51:57,048 --> 00:51:58,047
Okay.

1012
00:52:02,386 --> 00:52:05,421
But for me to do that
I need to know what happened.

1013
00:52:05,423 --> 00:52:08,257
It's easy to say that.

1014
00:52:08,259 --> 00:52:11,794
But once you know something,
       you can't un-know it.

1015
00:52:11,796 --> 00:52:14,497
I want to know,
      no matter what.

1016
00:52:16,067 --> 00:52:17,333
Please.

1017
00:52:23,407 --> 00:52:27,209
[crickets chirping]

1018
00:52:31,282 --> 00:52:33,048
[engine cuts]

1019
00:52:37,355 --> 00:52:40,789
Harriet, please...

1020
00:52:40,791 --> 00:52:43,826
I'm sorry. I can't think of
  any other way to resolve this.

1021
00:52:43,828 --> 00:52:47,029
You suffer from
                a condition, Ro.

1022
00:52:47,031 --> 00:52:50,032
And it's clear my home is no
    longer an ideal environment.

1023
00:52:50,034 --> 00:52:51,534
You sound like
one of them doctors

1024
00:52:51,536 --> 00:52:52,868
she about to
dump me with again.

1025
00:52:52,870 --> 00:52:55,337
I'm not dumping you.
        Oh really?

1026
00:52:55,339 --> 00:52:56,906
That's what it
  feels like, Harriet!

1027
00:52:59,143 --> 00:53:00,809
[whimpers]
                  Come on, now.

1028
00:53:00,811 --> 00:53:03,045
Don't make a scene.
             Don't make a scene.

1029
00:53:03,047 --> 00:53:04,847
Harriet!

1030
00:53:06,284 --> 00:53:07,616
Ro...
     It's fine.

1031
00:53:07,618 --> 00:53:09,218
It's fine, it's fine...

1032
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:10,452
It's fine!

1033
00:53:20,064 --> 00:53:23,899
Harriet!
          [whimpering]

1034
00:53:28,506 --> 00:53:30,039
Orlicki had a party.

1035
00:53:32,810 --> 00:53:34,376
I was drunk.

1036
00:53:34,378 --> 00:53:36,745
I had gone with two friends.
    All three of us were drunk.

1037
00:53:36,747 --> 00:53:39,181
Please don't tell anyone
        this, it's embarrassing.

1038
00:53:39,183 --> 00:53:42,218
No, no, this is between us.
         I promise.

1039
00:53:43,854 --> 00:53:49,024
People kept having shots of
    stuff that tasted like syrup

1040
00:53:49,026 --> 00:53:52,995
and I just kept drinking it
         because it was easy

1041
00:53:52,997 --> 00:53:55,731
but I got dizzy.

1042
00:53:56,734 --> 00:53:58,334
I lost my friends.

1043
00:54:00,204 --> 00:54:02,938
Orlicki found me and told me
 to go lie down in the basement.

1044
00:54:05,176 --> 00:54:07,076
It was dark.

1045
00:54:07,078 --> 00:54:08,611
I couldn't see.

1046
00:54:10,214 --> 00:54:11,780
I felt my way
               over to the couch

1047
00:54:11,782 --> 00:54:13,682
but there were
                  people there.

1048
00:54:15,753 --> 00:54:18,587
Next, someone said we should
     play the Santa Claus game.

1049
00:54:18,589 --> 00:54:19,588
What's that?

1050
00:54:20,791 --> 00:54:24,226
It's this stupid game
            that guys play

1051
00:54:24,228 --> 00:54:27,229
where a girl gets passed
         around from lap to lap

1052
00:54:27,231 --> 00:54:29,131
and depending on how far
            she lets them go

1053
00:54:29,133 --> 00:54:31,467
or how much they like you
            sitting on them,

1054
00:54:31,469 --> 00:54:33,702
they rate you
              from one to three.

1055
00:54:33,704 --> 00:54:34,970
Ho ho hos.

1056
00:54:34,972 --> 00:54:36,538
My God, that can't be real.

1057
00:54:37,908 --> 00:54:39,275
There are worse games.

1058
00:54:40,911 --> 00:54:41,877
Anyway,

1059
00:54:43,247 --> 00:54:44,980
they started
              passing me around.

1060
00:54:46,317 --> 00:54:49,618
I kept thinking,
                "God,

1061
00:54:49,620 --> 00:54:51,820
what if I throw up
               right now?

1062
00:54:51,822 --> 00:54:53,722
How embarrassing
             would that be?"

1063
00:54:55,993 --> 00:54:58,527
When they started,
             they were laughing.

1064
00:54:59,563 --> 00:55:01,330
But the longer
            it went on...

1065
00:55:03,067 --> 00:55:07,202
And it felt like
           it went on forever.

1066
00:55:09,407 --> 00:55:12,975
All I could hear
              was breathing.

1067
00:55:15,179 --> 00:55:17,079
Breathing,

1068
00:55:17,081 --> 00:55:19,915
and counting.

1069
00:55:19,917 --> 00:55:22,051
One, two,

1070
00:55:23,254 --> 00:55:24,920
two,

1071
00:55:24,922 --> 00:55:26,088
three...

1072
00:55:26,991 --> 00:55:29,858
One, two...

1073
00:55:31,128 --> 00:55:32,127
At some point

1074
00:55:32,129 --> 00:55:33,495
I definitely said

1075
00:55:33,497 --> 00:55:34,963
I wanted them to stop.

1076
00:55:34,965 --> 00:55:37,132
But maybe it sounded
             like I was joking

1077
00:55:37,134 --> 00:55:40,336
or maybe it was just something
  I said to myself in my head...

1078
00:55:42,373 --> 00:55:46,075
There were hands
              everywhere.

1079
00:55:48,379 --> 00:55:50,746
It was like
       they were swallowing me.

1080
00:55:53,884 --> 00:55:56,385
And sometimes
              in their laps

1081
00:55:58,022 --> 00:56:01,256
I could feel...
                    [sniffles]

1082
00:56:02,693 --> 00:56:04,093
Oh!
               [sniffling]

1083
00:56:04,962 --> 00:56:05,928
Oh.

1084
00:56:07,465 --> 00:56:08,897
Gross.
               [nervous chuckle]

1085
00:56:11,969 --> 00:56:13,502
Um.

1086
00:56:13,504 --> 00:56:17,072
When I woke up,
               Luce was there.

1087
00:56:17,074 --> 00:56:19,007
He said he found them
          and told them to stop.

1088
00:56:19,009 --> 00:56:20,509
[laughs nervously]

1089
00:56:20,511 --> 00:56:22,778
And he stayed with me
          the rest of the night.

1090
00:56:25,549 --> 00:56:27,249
Is it possible that...?

1091
00:56:28,853 --> 00:56:30,152
Was Luce one of the guys?

1092
00:56:30,154 --> 00:56:31,987
He wouldn't do that.

1093
00:56:31,989 --> 00:56:33,655
But he...
              He just wouldn't.

1094
00:56:39,497 --> 00:56:40,996
What happened
    with Ms. Wilson?

1095
00:56:42,533 --> 00:56:45,100
There were
                a lot of rumors.

1096
00:56:46,704 --> 00:56:48,370
It was
                at the same time

1097
00:56:48,372 --> 00:56:50,205
Deshaun Meeks got
             kicked off the team

1098
00:56:50,207 --> 00:56:53,242
because Wilson found
            weed in his locker.

1099
00:56:53,244 --> 00:56:56,578
She searched
      Deshaun's locker?

1100
00:56:56,580 --> 00:56:58,514
And called
                      the cops.

1101
00:56:58,516 --> 00:57:01,583
I didn't want that.
          What would I say?

1102
00:57:01,585 --> 00:57:03,118
I couldn't
         remember anything

1103
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,089
and I definitely didn't tell
       everyone I was drunk.

1104
00:57:07,091 --> 00:57:08,257
What did Luce say?

1105
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,261
He said I was right
            not to tell.

1106
00:57:13,631 --> 00:57:15,898
Because he was protecting
          his friends.

1107
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:17,733
Because he was
             protecting me.

1108
00:57:17,735 --> 00:57:20,436
He didn't want me to do
   anything I didn't want to do.

1109
00:57:25,876 --> 00:57:27,309
Why did you two break up?

1110
00:57:28,746 --> 00:57:29,778
I don't know.

1111
00:57:31,615 --> 00:57:32,848
I miss him.

1112
00:57:34,251 --> 00:57:36,351
He's the best boyfriend
               I ever had.

1113
00:57:40,458 --> 00:57:41,490
[sniffles]

1114
00:57:43,761 --> 00:57:45,127
Stephanie...

1115
00:57:46,330 --> 00:57:48,497
I'm really sorry
       for what happened.

1116
00:57:48,499 --> 00:57:49,498
Don't be.

1117
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:50,499
[chuckles]

1118
00:57:52,002 --> 00:57:53,402
Everything is fine now.

1119
00:57:54,905 --> 00:57:57,506
[inaudible]

1120
00:57:59,910 --> 00:58:02,344
[inaudible]

1121
00:58:15,092 --> 00:58:20,729
[tense droning]

1122
00:58:25,202 --> 00:58:27,736
[keys jangle]

1123
00:58:31,509 --> 00:58:33,442
Hey!
                        Hey.

1124
00:58:37,948 --> 00:58:39,114
Where were you?

1125
00:58:40,117 --> 00:58:41,917
Emergency patient.

1126
00:58:42,786 --> 00:58:44,286
Oh, really?

1127
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,359
[kiss]

1128
00:58:54,832 --> 00:58:57,065
Karen seems good.
Yeah, she is.

1129
00:58:58,302 --> 00:58:59,568
They're happy.

1130
00:59:00,571 --> 00:59:02,838
The baby fidgets.

1131
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,874
Mm-hm. I think that's
  just a baby thing.

1132
00:59:07,578 --> 00:59:09,411
[Amy giggles]

1133
00:59:10,514 --> 00:59:11,747
Are you drunk?

1134
00:59:11,749 --> 00:59:13,048
[Peter chuckles]

1135
00:59:15,352 --> 00:59:19,187
So you don't think it's
    that baby in particular.

1136
00:59:19,189 --> 00:59:20,222
How would I know?

1137
00:59:21,492 --> 00:59:23,592
I mean,
I don't know, so...

1138
00:59:24,328 --> 00:59:26,028
how would I know?

1139
00:59:26,030 --> 00:59:27,095
Yeah.

1140
00:59:27,831 --> 00:59:29,331
PETER: Right?

1141
00:59:29,333 --> 00:59:32,434
Mm, yeah,
        I guess you wouldn't.

1142
00:59:32,436 --> 00:59:33,669
PETER:
              No.

1143
00:59:34,939 --> 00:59:37,372
AMY:
You know, it's not Luce's fault

1144
00:59:37,374 --> 00:59:39,575
you were denied diaper
           changing privileges.

1145
00:59:39,577 --> 00:59:41,810
No.
    [chuckles]

1146
00:59:44,214 --> 00:59:45,914
Thanks.

1147
00:59:45,916 --> 00:59:47,549
Look, we made a choice.

1148
00:59:47,551 --> 00:59:50,419
I'm okay with that as long
as you recognize it cost us.

1149
00:59:51,355 --> 00:59:52,421
Which means?

1150
00:59:53,691 --> 00:59:56,291
I did want something
  different once.

1151
00:59:56,293 --> 00:59:57,859
Ten years and
                 you're trapped.

1152
00:59:58,562 --> 01:00:00,095
Your words.

1153
01:00:00,097 --> 01:00:02,631
Well, you said it.
 You wanted something different.

1154
01:00:02,633 --> 01:00:05,233
I did, yeah.
                    Like what?

1155
01:00:05,235 --> 01:00:09,104
Look, I'm proud of our son.

1156
01:00:10,541 --> 01:00:13,809
Okay, I love him.
        I love him

1157
01:00:13,811 --> 01:00:17,212
more than I'll ever
   understand, okay?

1158
01:00:17,214 --> 01:00:20,415
But we spent years
with him in therapy

1159
01:00:20,417 --> 01:00:22,217
and rehabilitation.

1160
01:00:22,219 --> 01:00:23,752
Our friends
couldn't understand

1161
01:00:23,754 --> 01:00:26,622
why we didn't just
have a kid of our own.

1162
01:00:26,624 --> 01:00:28,256
And so while they
  fell away doing

1163
01:00:28,258 --> 01:00:31,493
what normal
fucking people do,

1164
01:00:31,495 --> 01:00:33,962
we worked our asses off
  to give him a life,

1165
01:00:33,964 --> 01:00:37,432
at the expense of our own.
    So to pretend that

1166
01:00:37,434 --> 01:00:39,267
that didn't
 cost us anything

1167
01:00:39,269 --> 01:00:40,636
is bullshit.
            I wasn't pretending.

1168
01:00:40,638 --> 01:00:43,138
You are!
      Amy.

1169
01:00:44,842 --> 01:00:45,841
You are.

1170
01:00:46,944 --> 01:00:49,177
You want so
desperately for him

1171
01:00:49,179 --> 01:00:50,912
to be what you want him to be,
       you're ignoring

1172
01:00:50,914 --> 01:00:52,781
what's right
  in front of you.

1173
01:00:52,783 --> 01:00:54,149
What he is, is

1174
01:00:55,119 --> 01:00:57,319
our son.
       Right.

1175
01:00:57,321 --> 01:00:59,087
And nothing's going
               to change that.

1176
01:01:00,124 --> 01:01:01,256
Right.

1177
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:04,393
So...

1178
01:01:06,263 --> 01:01:07,329
fuck this.

1179
01:01:07,331 --> 01:01:08,664
Fuck you.

[sighs]

1182
01:01:23,814 --> 01:01:25,013
I came here

1183
01:01:25,849 --> 01:01:27,849
to America,

1184
01:01:27,851 --> 01:01:29,418
to this school,

1185
01:01:30,988 --> 01:01:32,387
and I found myself.

1186
01:01:36,727 --> 01:01:39,695
When I first met my mother,
she couldn't pronounce my name.

1187
01:01:41,131 --> 01:01:44,566
She tried over and over
      to get the emphasis

1188
01:01:44,568 --> 01:01:47,402
on the syllables
              correct, but...

1189
01:01:47,404 --> 01:01:48,637
she just couldn't.

1190
01:01:51,341 --> 01:01:54,042
So my father suggested
   that they rename me.

1191
01:02:02,820 --> 01:02:04,886
They picked Luce,

1192
01:02:04,888 --> 01:02:06,154
and, uh...

1193
01:02:10,260 --> 01:02:12,360
[breath trembles]

1194
01:02:12,362 --> 01:02:14,529
I thought about that
    when I was figuring out

1195
01:02:14,531 --> 01:02:16,331
what to say
      to you all tonight.

1196
01:02:18,902 --> 01:02:21,903
And I realized how lucky
 I am to be an American.

1197
01:02:25,342 --> 01:02:27,509
Because here I got
the chance to start over.

1198
01:02:29,279 --> 01:02:30,979
To redefine myself.

1199
01:02:33,183 --> 01:02:35,484
Here we can be who we choose.
            Here...

01:03:29,673 --> 01:03:32,541
Remember that fish
    we got him for his birthday?

1205
01:03:37,681 --> 01:03:40,282
Dennis.
             Yeah, that's right.

1206
01:03:40,284 --> 01:03:42,818
Yeah. Poor Dennis.

1207
01:03:44,955 --> 01:03:47,989
Yeah. The way he just
               pulled him out

1208
01:03:47,991 --> 01:03:50,525
and threw him across
            the room like that.

1209
01:03:50,527 --> 01:03:52,894
Like a piece
                of deli meat.

"I just wanted
           to see him fly, mom."

1211
01:04:03,841 --> 01:04:05,740
We didn't screw up,
                   did we?

1212
01:04:08,512 --> 01:04:09,611
No.

01:04:12,516 --> 01:04:14,049

[school bell rings]

So, what does it mean
       to speak in code?

1221
01:05:03,267 --> 01:05:06,334
Well, it tells you about
      a particular group.

1222
01:05:06,336 --> 01:05:08,403
The necessity to have
      a shared vocabulary.

[door opens]
          LUCE: Sorry.

1224

To have common struggles
         in a society.

1225
01:05:17,114 --> 01:05:19,014
You see,
        language is a bond.

1226
01:05:19,016 --> 01:05:21,182
It's how we tell each other
  apart, but more importantly,

1227
01:05:21,184 --> 01:05:22,550
it's how we stick together.

01:08:12,289 --> 01:08:14,556
Nothing, it's just...

1291
01:08:14,558 --> 01:08:17,358
You never really know what's
     going on with people.

1292
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,962
Like, in life.
   Outside of what you know.

1293
01:08:20,964 --> 01:08:22,997
I shouldn't have said
        she was a bitch.

1294
01:08:26,603 --> 01:08:29,971
Well, I think I owe you
   an apology, Luce.

1295
01:08:31,041 --> 01:08:32,740
For what?
        Really.

1296
01:08:32,742 --> 01:08:34,742
You've never given me any
reason to doubt your integrity.

1297
01:08:34,744 --> 01:08:37,579
You should know
we got your back.

1298
01:08:37,581 --> 01:08:40,949
No matter what?
No matter what. Asshole.

Who is it?

1308
01:10:20,016 --> 01:10:21,616
I need to talk to you
                about Luce.

1309
01:10:32,162 --> 01:10:34,562
Harriet, if you Googled
             "model student"

1310
01:10:34,564 --> 01:10:37,031
Luce Edgar's picture would
       come up on the computer

1311
01:10:37,033 --> 01:10:40,168
and now you're telling me that
this kid, graffiti-ed your home?

1312
01:10:40,170 --> 01:10:41,736
It's not just
     the graffiti, Dan.

1313
01:10:41,738 --> 01:10:43,571
No, he also wrote
           an upsetting paper.

1314
01:10:43,573 --> 01:10:44,772
He argued violence--
                         A paper

1315
01:10:44,774 --> 01:10:46,241
that you no longer
             have a copy of.

1316
01:10:46,243 --> 01:10:47,442
I gave it to his mother.

1317
01:10:47,444 --> 01:10:49,043
An upsetting paper
             where it sounds

1318
01:10:49,045 --> 01:10:51,713
like he did exactly what the
    assignment asked him to do.

1319
01:10:51,715 --> 01:10:53,781
I know the difference
    between miscommunication

1320
01:10:53,783 --> 01:10:56,517
and provocation. I can tell
  the difference between them.

1321
01:10:56,519 --> 01:10:58,886
Isn't there a chance,
                just maybe,

1322
01:10:58,888 --> 01:11:02,690
that what he wrote
       just went over your head?

1323
01:11:02,692 --> 01:11:04,659
I don't mean that
                   as a dig.

1324
01:11:05,962 --> 01:11:07,762
Come on,
      I think you're brilliant.

1325
01:11:07,764 --> 01:11:09,864
I think you're articulate,
       you're a great teacher,

1326
01:11:09,866 --> 01:11:13,534
but you know, we all misread
     signals from time to time.

1327
01:11:15,572 --> 01:11:17,772
There's an allegation
       of sexual assault.

1328
01:11:19,709 --> 01:11:21,709
A student
came to me and said

1329
01:11:21,711 --> 01:11:24,045
Luce sexually assaulted
    her at a party.

[exhales]

1331
01:11:31,221 --> 01:11:32,387
Which student?
Dan...

1332
01:11:32,389 --> 01:11:33,988
You're talking
              about a crime now.

1333
01:11:35,759 --> 01:11:37,892
I'm not gonna ruin a kid's
      life because you come here

1334
01:11:37,894 --> 01:11:41,095
with some unsubstantiated
        accusations and hunches.

1335
01:11:41,097 --> 01:11:42,563
Then let me prove it.

1336
01:11:44,100 --> 01:11:46,067
[water bubbling]

1337
01:11:47,570 --> 01:11:49,170
Hey, what's up?

1338
01:11:51,941 --> 01:11:54,142
I didn't buy it before but
   maybe you're right, maybe

1339
01:11:54,144 --> 01:11:56,477
she has some kind of weird
  vendetta thing for Luce.

1340
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,012
<i> Okay, hold on.</i>

1341
01:11:58,014 --> 01:11:59,814
<i> She doesn't get</i>
   <i> what she wants out of you</i>

1342
01:11:59,816 --> 01:12:01,149
<i> so then she comes to me.</i>

1343
01:12:01,151 --> 01:12:03,418
Then when that doesn't
        work she goes to Dan.

1344
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:06,587
She's having a personal crisis,
 she's taking it out on our son.

1345
01:12:06,589 --> 01:12:08,356
<i> Just let me handle it.</i>
          <i> Just let me.</i>

1346
01:12:08,358 --> 01:12:11,993
<i> Okay. </i>
           Okay. Bye.

1347
01:12:41,291 --> 01:12:42,557
What are you
                    doing home?

1348
01:12:43,526 --> 01:12:46,027
Hey! I, uh,

1349
01:12:46,029 --> 01:12:48,730
just needed to pick up
a few things before practice.

1350
01:12:51,901 --> 01:12:53,634
You see Dan's email?
Yeah.

1351
01:12:53,636 --> 01:12:55,036
I'm not sure
what it's about.

1352
01:12:56,306 --> 01:12:57,905
I guess we'll just
     wait and see.

1353
01:12:57,907 --> 01:12:59,040
Guess so.

1354
01:13:00,744 --> 01:13:03,211
I'm, um, I'm taking
  your advice you know.

1355
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:05,413
About what?

1356
01:13:05,415 --> 01:13:07,248
The speech.

1357
01:13:07,250 --> 01:13:10,818
I'm making it more personal.
  I think you'll be proud.

1358
01:13:12,856 --> 01:13:14,122
I'm sure I will be.

1359
01:13:15,558 --> 01:13:17,158
So, um,

1360
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:18,526
I'll see you
             at the meeting.

1361
01:13:18,528 --> 01:13:20,428
Six o'clock sharp.
                          Great.

1362
01:13:26,336 --> 01:13:28,636
Why didn't you tell me
        you talked to Stephanie?

1363
01:13:30,273 --> 01:13:32,273
You didn't think
              she would tell me?

1364
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:36,677
I don't think either of us
     have been great

1365
01:13:36,679 --> 01:13:38,246
at keeping each other
  in the loop, Luce.

1366
01:13:38,248 --> 01:13:39,947
What are you
             trying to prove?

1367
01:13:39,949 --> 01:13:41,349
What are you
trying to hide?

1368
01:13:41,351 --> 01:13:42,917
I'm not trying
            to hide anything.

1369
01:13:42,919 --> 01:13:45,553
That's not the impression
  I got from Stephanie.

1370
01:13:45,555 --> 01:13:47,455
What did she say?
     You tell me.

1371
01:13:47,457 --> 01:13:49,123
You're the one
            that talked to her.

1372
01:13:49,125 --> 01:13:50,124
Stop it.
               Stop what?

1373
01:13:50,126 --> 01:13:51,726
This game.
                      What game?

1374
01:13:51,728 --> 01:13:54,195
What did you do to that girl?
            What, you think I--?

1375
01:13:54,197 --> 01:13:56,230
Never mind what I think.
What did you do to her?

1376
01:13:56,232 --> 01:13:58,399
I did the right thing.
     By lying?

1377
01:13:58,401 --> 01:14:00,301
She threatened to kill herself.
   Ms. Wilson kept pushing...

1378
01:14:00,303 --> 01:14:02,737
By protecting
the people who hurt her?

1379
01:14:02,739 --> 01:14:04,038
I wanted her
                  to get better.

1380
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:05,473
Then why didn't you
     ask for help?

1381
01:14:05,475 --> 01:14:07,108
She was better.
I think you're lying.

1382
01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:08,743
I'm not lying.
Tell me the truth.

1383
01:14:08,745 --> 01:14:10,912
I'm telling you the truth.
Stop lying to me.

1384
01:14:10,914 --> 01:14:13,648
I'm not lying.
Tell me the fucking truth!

1385
01:14:21,825 --> 01:14:23,825
Why did you write that paper?

1386
01:14:26,296 --> 01:14:28,996
What if I told you
        it's what I believed?

1387
01:14:29,766 --> 01:14:30,898
You believe in

1388
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:33,401
hurting people
        to make a point?

1389
01:14:33,403 --> 01:14:35,636
You wouldn't know.
       You never read it, right?

1392
01:14:49,619 --> 01:14:50,918
I feel like...

1393
01:14:53,289 --> 01:14:55,890
you're all waiting for me
    to confirm this thing...

1394
01:14:57,327 --> 01:14:59,227
that no one wants
      to say aloud.

1395
01:15:00,630 --> 01:15:02,497
And I'm trying
   so hard

1396
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,166
not to be that.

1397
01:15:07,170 --> 01:15:09,537
But after a while you can't
  help but think that maybe

1398
01:15:09,539 --> 01:15:11,506
you're fighting a losing battle.
              What do you mean?

1399
01:15:11,508 --> 01:15:12,940
I mean

1400
01:15:12,942 --> 01:15:15,343
it's like I only get
to be a saint or a monster.

1401
01:15:15,345 --> 01:15:18,045
That's not true.
         We always accepted you

1402
01:15:18,047 --> 01:15:19,347
for whoever you are.

1403
01:15:19,349 --> 01:15:20,948
I don't believe you, Amy.

1404
01:15:22,719 --> 01:15:26,354
And I feel like I'm suffocating.
     Like I can't breathe.

1405
01:15:26,356 --> 01:15:29,457
That's why I'm here,
 to help you and to protect you.

1406
01:15:29,459 --> 01:15:31,959
What if you're part of what
  I need protecting from?

 at the meeting.

I promise it'll be as
           painless as possible.

1413
01:16:21,244 --> 01:16:23,344
We'll be just
                  down the hall.

1414
01:16:23,346 --> 01:16:26,213
When the time comes,
          I'll escort you in and

1415
01:16:26,215 --> 01:16:28,249
you just tell them
              what you told me.

1416
01:16:28,251 --> 01:16:29,850
And then that's it,
                 you're done.

1417
01:16:29,852 --> 01:16:31,419
Luce will be there?

1418
01:16:31,421 --> 01:16:33,588
I can have him step out when
    it's time for you to speak.

1419
01:16:33,590 --> 01:16:35,690
What about his mom?

1420
01:16:35,692 --> 01:16:36,691
She'll be there.

1421
01:16:36,693 --> 01:16:38,259
Yes.

You're brave.

1424
01:16:43,399 --> 01:16:45,299
It's because you show
         courage today, that

1425
01:16:45,301 --> 01:16:47,802
someone else doesn't suffer
        like you did tomorrow.

1426
01:16:49,572 --> 01:16:50,972
You understand?

1427
01:16:53,576 --> 01:16:54,809
Good.

01:17:45,762 --> 01:17:47,662
DAN:
     Hey, guys. Come on in.

1449
01:17:47,664 --> 01:17:48,963
How you doing, Amy?

1450
01:17:48,965 --> 01:17:50,831
How you doing, Peter?
   Good to see you.

1451
01:17:50,833 --> 01:17:52,700
Hey, Dan.
             Dan.

1452
01:17:52,702 --> 01:17:54,502
You all right?
    Been better.

1453
01:17:54,504 --> 01:17:56,470
How's the clinic?
         Busy. Always busy.

1454
01:17:56,472 --> 01:17:58,272
Busy is good.
                 Yeah.

1455
01:17:58,274 --> 01:17:59,907
Busy is always good.
          [laughs]

1456
01:18:01,344 --> 01:18:03,010
Here she is.

1457
01:18:04,814 --> 01:18:06,547
Harriet Wilson.

1458
01:18:06,549 --> 01:18:08,616
You know
 Peter and Amy Edgar.

1459
01:18:08,618 --> 01:18:10,284
Good to see you, Amy. Peter.
       Good to see you, too.

1460
01:18:10,286 --> 01:18:12,119
Good to see you.

1461
01:18:12,121 --> 01:18:15,189
So we're just, uh, missing
the man of the hour here.

1462
01:18:16,826 --> 01:18:18,626
He should be along here.

1463
01:18:18,628 --> 01:18:19,627
Ah-ha!

1464
01:18:19,629 --> 01:18:21,796
Hey!
              Hey. Sorry, sorry.

1465
01:18:21,798 --> 01:18:24,165
I lost track of time.
Lost track at the track.

1466
01:18:24,167 --> 01:18:26,200
Sounds like the Luce I know.
           [chuckles]

1467
01:18:26,202 --> 01:18:28,202
How are you?
  I'm great, Principal Towson.

1468
01:18:28,204 --> 01:18:29,837
How are you?
     Principal Towson.

1469
01:18:29,839 --> 01:18:32,406
Notice he's all formal
    now that he's a senior.

1470
01:18:32,408 --> 01:18:34,041
Getting ready
    for college, right?

1471
01:18:34,043 --> 01:18:37,311
That's right.
 Smart man. Smart man.

1472
01:18:37,313 --> 01:18:39,113
Have a seat, guys.
Come on, sit down.

1473
01:18:40,683 --> 01:18:42,216
[sighs]

1474
01:18:42,218 --> 01:18:43,350
So...
                  I'd like to...

1475
01:18:43,352 --> 01:18:44,318
[crosstalk]

1476
01:18:45,254 --> 01:18:46,721
Go ahead.
You first.

1477
01:18:46,723 --> 01:18:49,490
Well, I guess
             first things first.

1478
01:18:49,492 --> 01:18:53,027
There have been a series
      of miscommunications

1479
01:18:53,029 --> 01:18:56,597
and I think rather than try
     to hash all that out,

1480
01:18:56,599 --> 01:19:01,202
it's probably more productive
        to just acknowledge

1481
01:19:01,204 --> 01:19:03,671
some tension has developed
         between Luce and me.

1482
01:19:03,673 --> 01:19:05,206
MS. WILSON:
          It happens.

1483
01:19:05,208 --> 01:19:07,241
Signals get crossed
             and we have to find

1484
01:19:07,243 --> 01:19:09,043
a way to untangle the knots,

1485
01:19:09,045 --> 01:19:12,179
even if we're not sure how those
knots got there in first place.

1486
01:19:12,181 --> 01:19:13,414
LUCE:
      Definitely. And, um.

1487
01:19:13,416 --> 01:19:15,583
Um, I just want to apologize

1488
01:19:15,585 --> 01:19:18,052
for making you feel
         disrespected.

1489
01:19:18,054 --> 01:19:19,720
I've taken on a lot
         this semester,

1490
01:19:19,722 --> 01:19:22,356
and not that that's an excuse,
        it's not but...

1491
01:19:22,358 --> 01:19:25,993
I haven't been my best self
lately and I'm sorry for that.

1492
01:19:28,264 --> 01:19:29,864
Thank you, Luce.
You're welcome.

1493
01:19:31,367 --> 01:19:33,300
This is going really
well, I think, so far.

1494
01:19:33,302 --> 01:19:34,902
Let's talk about
    the threat.

1495
01:19:34,904 --> 01:19:37,104
Oh, I'm sorry for that too,
          Ms. Wilson.

1496
01:19:37,106 --> 01:19:38,105
Sorry?

1497
01:19:38,107 --> 01:19:39,473
Are you admitting it now?

1498
01:19:39,475 --> 01:19:40,975
Like I was saying, uh,

1499
01:19:40,977 --> 01:19:42,643
given the stress
        I've been under,

1500
01:19:42,645 --> 01:19:44,612
I'm sure what I said
        sounded a bit--

1501
01:19:44,614 --> 01:19:47,548
No, no, no. I'm sorry,
       but this isn't about some

1502
01:19:47,550 --> 01:19:49,750
stress-induced
             problem of tone.

1503
01:19:49,752 --> 01:19:50,985
This is about
                 one person

1504
01:19:50,987 --> 01:19:52,586
suggesting violence
              against another.

1505
01:19:52,588 --> 01:19:54,488
Excuse me?
   You weren't there, Mr. Edgar.

1506
01:19:54,490 --> 01:19:56,724
There are interactions
        that must be experienced

1507
01:19:56,726 --> 01:19:58,325
in order to appreciate
           their intent.

1508
01:19:58,327 --> 01:19:59,827
Respectfully,

1509
01:19:59,829 --> 01:20:02,062
I think you should choose
your words more carefully.

1510
01:20:02,064 --> 01:20:04,565
My son has just apologized.
                Has he?

1511
01:20:04,567 --> 01:20:07,501
I-I think in the interest
of moving forward, Harriet,

1512
01:20:07,503 --> 01:20:10,171
it would be helpful for you to
 acknowledge Luce did in fact

1513
01:20:10,173 --> 01:20:12,573
apologize.
   Where were you last night?

1514
01:20:12,575 --> 01:20:15,776
LUCE: What?
      My home was vandalized.

1515
01:20:15,778 --> 01:20:17,178
Uh, just a second--

1516
01:20:17,180 --> 01:20:18,612
I want to know
          where you were between

1517
01:20:18,614 --> 01:20:20,481
when school let out
    and I got back to my house.

1518
01:20:20,483 --> 01:20:22,917
I was out.
                          Where?

1519
01:20:22,919 --> 01:20:24,351
Is my son being
      accused of a crime?

1520
01:20:24,353 --> 01:20:25,786
He sure as hell
          is about to be.

1521
01:20:25,788 --> 01:20:27,087
Because if he is,

1522
01:20:27,089 --> 01:20:28,589
if he is being
       accused of a crime,

1523
01:20:28,591 --> 01:20:29,757
I want a lawyer.

1524
01:20:29,759 --> 01:20:31,025
It's fine.
      I didn't do anything.

1525
01:20:31,027 --> 01:20:32,693
This woman's sister,

1526
01:20:32,695 --> 01:20:35,296
this woman's sister has just
    gone through a very public

1527
01:20:35,298 --> 01:20:37,665
mental breakdown.
           All right.

1528
01:20:37,667 --> 01:20:39,266
How do you know
     she's not responsible?

1529
01:20:39,268 --> 01:20:40,634
My sister wouldn't do that.
Neither would my son.

1530
01:20:40,636 --> 01:20:41,635
All right, okay.

1531
01:20:41,637 --> 01:20:43,771
Everybody just... Luce,

1532
01:20:44,774 --> 01:20:46,473
Can you help us out here?

1533
01:20:46,475 --> 01:20:48,576
Can you tell us where you
  were after school yesterday?

1534
01:20:51,147 --> 01:20:52,646
I don't want to say.
          Where were you?

1535
01:20:56,285 --> 01:20:57,852
With friends.
        MS. WILSON: Who?

1536
01:20:59,722 --> 01:21:01,021
See, he's lying, Dan.

1537
01:21:01,023 --> 01:21:02,690
Harriet!

1538
01:21:02,692 --> 01:21:04,291
Principal Towson,
       I can explain where I was

1539
01:21:04,293 --> 01:21:06,627
but I do not want to
     get people in trouble.

1540
01:21:06,629 --> 01:21:08,562
I respect
   your discretion, but,

1541
01:21:08,564 --> 01:21:10,798
Luce, your mom,
your dad, Ms. Wilson,

1542
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:15,169
we're all just trying to pin
down what's going on here, okay?

1543
01:21:15,171 --> 01:21:17,905
And if you know anything,
if you could help us with that,

1544
01:21:17,907 --> 01:21:19,540
it's-it's only going
    to help you.

1545
01:21:21,010 --> 01:21:22,543
It's embarrassing for me.

1546
01:21:22,545 --> 01:21:24,144
[scoffs]
       You gotta be kidding.

1547
01:21:24,146 --> 01:21:25,746
Harriet.

1548
01:21:28,384 --> 01:21:29,917
DAN:
        Go ahead, Luce.

1549
01:21:39,729 --> 01:21:42,196
Please don't tell anyone
   I'm showing you this.

1550
01:21:42,198 --> 01:21:43,664
It's a violation of trust.

1551
01:21:49,772 --> 01:21:52,406
<i> Yeah! What up?</i>

1552
01:21:52,408 --> 01:21:54,341
[exhales]

1553
01:21:56,045 --> 01:21:59,780
[hip hop music plays]
   [indistinct conversations]

1554
01:21:59,782 --> 01:22:01,682
[laughter]

1555
01:22:11,727 --> 01:22:13,060
[phone clicks off]

1556
01:22:13,062 --> 01:22:14,361
I don't want them
       to get in trouble.

1557
01:22:14,363 --> 01:22:16,196
DAN:
 No one's gonna get in trouble.

1558
01:22:16,198 --> 01:22:17,698
All right, you guys
          are good kids.

1559
01:22:17,700 --> 01:22:18,966
We all know that.
     This is bullshit.

1560
01:22:18,968 --> 01:22:20,567
Hey, Harriet.
                   Excuse me.

1561
01:22:20,569 --> 01:22:21,535
Harriet!

1562
01:22:22,238 --> 01:22:23,337
Harriet!

1563
01:22:28,077 --> 01:22:29,043
Steph--

1564
01:22:32,148 --> 01:22:34,581
I think that's
 a really good choice for you.

1565
01:22:34,583 --> 01:22:37,151
I know it wasn't on your
     original list but I--

1566
01:22:38,754 --> 01:22:40,421
You told her
  to come to me.

1567
01:22:40,423 --> 01:22:42,723
LUCE: I'm sorry?
   You told her what to say.

1568
01:22:42,725 --> 01:22:44,391
Dan, what is she talking about?

1569
01:22:44,393 --> 01:22:45,960
DAN:
   Please, explain, Harriet.

1570
01:22:45,962 --> 01:22:48,329
I think Ms. Wilson's
    just been through a lot.

1571
01:22:48,331 --> 01:22:51,098
Between what's happened
  with her sister's breakdown

1572
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:52,766
and someone
vandalizing her house.

1573
01:22:52,768 --> 01:22:53,968
She's confused.

1574
01:22:53,970 --> 01:22:56,570
Right, Ms. Wilson?
        You're confused.

1575
01:22:56,572 --> 01:22:58,339
Luce, I'm going to need you
   to step out for a moment.

1576
01:22:58,341 --> 01:23:00,774
LUCE:
     I thought this meeting
      was to get together

1577
01:23:00,776 --> 01:23:01,976
and figure things out.

1578
01:23:01,978 --> 01:23:03,844
I need to speak
           with your parents

1579
01:23:03,846 --> 01:23:06,647
and Principal Towson alone.
              Please.

1580
01:23:07,984 --> 01:23:09,750
Sure.
            AMY: No.

1581
01:23:09,752 --> 01:23:10,918
He can stay.

1582
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:11,986
Whatever you have
                to say to us,

1583
01:23:11,988 --> 01:23:13,654
you can say
                in front of him.

1584
01:23:15,257 --> 01:23:18,492
Your son brought illegal
fireworks onto school property.

1585
01:23:18,494 --> 01:23:20,127
DAN: Excuse me?
    I searches Luce's locker

1586
01:23:20,129 --> 01:23:21,495
and I found illegal fireworks.

1587
01:23:21,497 --> 01:23:23,330
Why didn't you tell
       me this, Harriet?

1588
01:23:23,332 --> 01:23:26,600
AMY: Well, hold on.
 The kids share lockers, right?

1589
01:23:26,602 --> 01:23:29,837
Well, it makes sense that given
  the kind of student Luce is

1590
01:23:29,839 --> 01:23:31,939
someone would think his
      was the safe hiding place.

1591
01:23:31,941 --> 01:23:34,108
The fireworks could have
        belonged to anyone.

1592
01:23:35,277 --> 01:23:36,543
LUCE:
    I've learned my lesson.

1593
01:23:36,545 --> 01:23:37,945
I'm going to change
                my combination

1594
01:23:37,947 --> 01:23:40,147
and we won't share
        lockers anymore.

1595
01:23:40,149 --> 01:23:43,684
Okay. Harriet,
  where are the fireworks now?

1596
01:23:45,287 --> 01:23:46,286
Amy?

1597
01:23:47,456 --> 01:23:48,422
Yes?

1598
01:23:49,125 --> 01:23:50,557
Where are they?

1599
01:23:50,559 --> 01:23:53,193
AMY: What do you mean?
      I gave them to you.

1600
01:23:55,998 --> 01:23:58,032
I don't know what
      she's talking about.

1601
01:23:58,034 --> 01:23:59,366
MS. WILSON:
             What?

1602
01:23:59,368 --> 01:24:00,968
Nope. She called me

1603
01:24:00,970 --> 01:24:02,536
and she claimed

down here in front of you,
          Dan, and threatens

                  against my son

1608

for a crime he clearly
              didn't commit.

1609
01:24:11,313 --> 01:24:13,680
I mean, I'm sorry
           but are we done here?

01:24:13,682 --> 01:24:15,249
Can my son go back to

   decided to go after him

           thank you for coming.

           No, Dan--

We're going to talk
  tomorrow. okay?

                  No, he's fine.

No, if you're accusing him,

01:33:35,544 --> 01:33:36,977
that you'll eat your own
            just to get it.

1766
01:33:36,979 --> 01:33:38,612
Whose approval?
               Who do you think?

1767
01:33:40,549 --> 01:33:43,316
Everyone who made you feel like
 being black wasn't good enough.

1768
01:33:45,387 --> 01:33:47,721
But I don't need their approval.
      I'm not going to be

1769
01:33:47,723 --> 01:33:50,423
somebody's symbol just to
         make them feel better.

1770
01:33:50,425 --> 01:33:52,692
You still don't get it.

1771
01:33:53,629 --> 01:33:55,629
You don't get it.

1772
01:33:55,631 --> 01:33:58,765
It's not just about you
   and it's not about me.

1773
01:33:58,767 --> 01:34:02,969
America put you in a box.

1774
01:34:02,971 --> 01:34:06,606
And it's tight and it's dirty
     and you can't move.

1775
01:34:06,608 --> 01:34:08,808
But guess what? Too bad.

1776
01:34:08,810 --> 01:34:12,145
We're all in there together,
whether you like it or not.

1777
01:34:13,682 --> 01:34:18,418
And only so much light
 gets in that box, Luce.

1778
01:34:19,921 --> 01:34:22,522
Some people get it,
  and some people don't.

1779
01:34:22,524 --> 01:34:24,991
But it's not on you to decide
    who gets it and who doesn't.

1780
01:34:24,993 --> 01:34:27,394
You're damn right
      it's on you!

1781
01:34:29,031 --> 01:34:30,430
It's on you.

1782
01:34:31,633 --> 01:34:35,635
After all,
   who did you use to

1783
01:34:35,637 --> 01:34:39,706
do your little errands while you
 were busy establishing alibis?

1784
01:34:41,109 --> 01:34:42,676
[Luce whimpers]

1785
01:34:45,781 --> 01:34:47,247
It's not the same thing.

1786
01:34:47,783 --> 01:34:48,748
Hm!

1787
01:34:50,018 --> 01:34:51,751
You got a lot to learn,
        little man.

1788
01:34:53,622 --> 01:34:57,090
Now you get the fuck
     out of my house.

1789
01:34:59,561 --> 01:35:01,227
Get out of my house!

1790
01:35:06,868 --> 01:35:10,904
[door opens and closes]

1791
01:35:13,075 --> 01:35:15,341

1794
01:36:03,725 --> 01:36:06,126
Shit! Shit!

1799

[footsteps approach]

1805
01:39:35,904 --> 01:39:37,070
Hey.

1806
01:39:39,941 --> 01:39:41,007
Hey.

1807
01:39:53,588 --> 01:39:55,855
[items clattering]

1808
01:40:04,099 --> 01:40:05,898
Are you hiding
         Christmas presents?

1809
01:40:08,937 --> 01:40:11,771
That's where you used
  to hide my Christmas presents.

1810
01:40:15,443 --> 01:40:17,377
You were always
    so surprised.

1811
01:40:19,047 --> 01:40:21,047
I'm good at
            acting surprised.

1812
01:40:22,717 --> 01:40:23,850
[Luce gasps]

1813

[Luce chuckles]

1814

[zipper unzips]

1815
01:40:38,166 --> 01:40:39,632
Here.

1816
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:13,466
LUCE: Remember Dennis?

1817
01:41:14,269 --> 01:41:15,601
AMY:
             Yeah.

1818
01:41:17,539 --> 01:41:19,806
Of course
  I remember Dennis.

1819
01:41:23,344 --> 01:41:25,478
I thought
           we could try again.

1820
01:41:31,386 --> 01:41:33,152
Thanks...

1821
01:41:35,023 --> 01:41:36,456
Mom.

1822
01:41:42,964 --> 01:41:45,798
You have your whole
future ahead of you.

1823
01:41:47,435 --> 01:41:49,202
Full of potential.

1824
01:41:51,940 --> 01:41:53,539
Hope you're right.

1825
01:41:54,409 --> 01:41:55,875
I know I'm right, honey.

1826
01:41:58,313 --> 01:41:59,946
I know.

1827
01:42:03,785 --> 01:42:05,318
[sniffles]

1828
01:42:08,890 --> 01:42:10,990

1829
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:23,136
[applause]

1830
01:42:35,850 --> 01:42:37,917
Hi, everyone.

1831
01:42:37,919 --> 01:42:41,254
I want thank Principal Towson
for giving me this opportunity.

1832
01:42:41,256 --> 01:42:43,990
It means a lot to be able
    to talk with each of you

1833
01:42:43,992 --> 01:42:45,658
about my story,

1834
01:42:45,660 --> 01:42:47,660
which I'm told
     is pretty unique,

1835
01:42:47,662 --> 01:42:49,695
even though I still feel
      pretty regular.

1836
01:42:51,799 --> 01:42:56,536
I'm lucky enough to have
  two amazing parents

1837
01:42:56,538 --> 01:42:57,937
who when they saw
    my picture

1838
01:42:57,939 --> 01:43:00,439
at seven years old
        weren't scared.

1839
01:43:00,441 --> 01:43:03,643
Or if they were they did a
 good job of hiding it because

1840
01:43:03,645 --> 01:43:06,179
the parents I grew up with were
 nothing but loving and brave.

1841
01:43:06,181 --> 01:43:08,080
AUDIENCE:
              Aww!

1842
01:43:09,984 --> 01:43:12,885
I came here
          to America,

1843
01:43:13,821 --> 01:43:15,188
to this school,

1844
01:43:16,157 --> 01:43:17,790
and I found myself.

1845
01:43:20,695 --> 01:43:24,697
When I first met my mother,
she couldn't pronounce my name.

1846
01:43:24,699 --> 01:43:27,533
She tried over and over
      to get the emphasis

1847
01:43:27,535 --> 01:43:30,203
on the syllables correct,
     but she just couldn't

1848
01:43:30,205 --> 01:43:33,206
so my father suggested
      that they rename me.

1849
01:43:34,542 --> 01:43:37,977
They picked Luce,
       which means light.

1850
01:43:39,013 --> 01:43:40,646
Because my mom always said that

1851
01:43:40,648 --> 01:43:43,516
there was a little beam
     of light shone inside me.

1852
01:43:43,518 --> 01:43:45,051
If only they could
       sweep the darkness

1853
01:43:45,053 --> 01:43:46,619
of those first
       seven years away.

1854
01:43:48,323 --> 01:43:50,089
I thought of that
     as I was figuring out

1855
01:43:50,091 --> 01:43:52,158
what to say to you all tonight.

1856
01:43:54,095 --> 01:43:58,497
And I realized how lucky
    I am to be an American.

1857
01:44:01,569 --> 01:44:03,769
Because here I got
   the chance to start over.

1858
01:44:05,406 --> 01:44:08,040
Here we get to be who we are
     and still be accepted

1859
01:44:08,042 --> 01:44:09,175
despite our flaws.

1860
01:44:10,511 --> 01:44:12,345
Here we get to tell
         our own story.

1861
01:44:14,882 --> 01:44:16,215
This is mine.

1862
01:44:16,217 --> 01:44:17,850
[low airy music]

1863
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:20,886
When they first told me
          my new name,

1864
01:44:20,888 --> 01:44:22,955
I was still just
       learning English,

1865
01:44:22,957 --> 01:44:24,624
so I took it to be
       the word "loose,"

1866
01:44:24,626 --> 01:44:27,593
L-O-O-S-E,
       [audience laughs]

1867
01:44:27,595 --> 01:44:29,562
which is defined
    as something detachable,

1868
01:44:29,564 --> 01:44:32,531
not easily fixed in
    place, or pinned down...

1869
01:44:32,533 --> 01:44:34,333
