- - Oh, my God.
- - What's that?
- 156

- 158
- 00:10:56,305 --> 00:10:58,933
- Madison surrendered
- to the nationalists.
- 159
- 00:11:01,185 --> 00:11:06,691
- Hamilton himself could have already have
- composed the message that embraced--
- 160
- 00:11:11,195 --> 00:11:13,823
- Donna. Donna,
- take over the class.
- 161
- 00:11:19,787 --> 00:11:21,622
- Shut up!
- 162
- 00:11:28,671 --> 00:11:30,548
- What happened to Miss Shepherd?
- 163
- 00:11:30,715 --> 00:11:32,925
- - Well, she quit.
- - Why?
- 164
- 00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:36,220
- Well, she was a very
- high-strung individual.
- 165
- 00:11:36,345 --> 00:11:38,306
- What, did she have a breakdown?
- 166
- 00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:40,641
- No. She quit before that.
- 167
- 00:11:40,808 --> 00:11:43,227
- One of the substitutes,
- she had a breakdown.
- 168
- 00:11:43,394 --> 00:11:46,939
- - That's how they weed them out.
- - Who are these kids, rejects from hell?
- 169
- 00:11:47,064 --> 00:11:51,486
- No. They're bright kids with
- little or no educational skills...
- 170
- 00:11:51,611 --> 00:11:54,697
- and what we politely call
- a lot of social problems.
- 171
- 00:11:54,864 --> 00:11:56,699
- Damn it, Griffith,
- you could've warned me!
- 172
- 00:11:56,824 --> 00:12:00,953
- Hey, Louanne,
- you said you wanted to teach.
- 173
- 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,997
- - Now, is that a load of bull or what?
- - No!
- 174
- 00:12:03,164 --> 00:12:04,582
- - So teach.
- - I ca--
- - What?
- 175
- 00:12:04,749 --> 00:12:07,001
- I can't teach them!
- 176
- 00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:11,506
- Yes, you can. All you gotta do
- is get their attention.
- 177
- 00:12:13,758 --> 00:12:15,384
- Or quit.
- 178
- 00:12:23,684 --> 00:12:26,020
- I'm back!
- 179
- 00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:55,633
- "She decided that if Brian broke a rule
- she would utilize these consequences:
- 180
- 00:12:55,758 --> 00:12:59,429
- The first time he broke a rule his name
- would be put on the board."
- 181
- 00:13:13,609 --> 00:13:17,613
- This is the life
- 182
- 00:13:20,992 --> 00:13:25,204
- This is the life
- 183
- 00:13:25,329 --> 00:13:28,708

- Achieve the goals
- in which you seek
- 191
- 00:13:46,142 --> 00:13:47,727
- Don't let nobody
- steer you wrong
- 192
- 00:13:47,852 --> 00:13:49,604
- Or you'll be singin'
- that same old song
- 193
- 00:13:49,729 --> 00:13:51,939
- - How someone's always holdin you down
- - There she is.
- 194
- 00:13:52,064 --> 00:13:53,649
- - Just keep your two feet on the ground
- - Girl, you didn't get enough yesterday?
- 195
- 00:13:53,775 --> 00:13:56,486
- And when you come you be direct
- 'cause punks get no respect
- 196
- 00:13:56,611 --> 00:13:59,155

- 00:14:25,056 --> 00:14:29,894
- - Put your back into it
- - Don't talk about-- Don't talk
- about yourself like that.
- 201
- 00:14:30,061 --> 00:14:33,356
- "I am a--"

- - What's "karate"?
- - Karate, you stupid asshole.

- - You're so stupid.
- - You're a Marine? A for-real Marine?
- 207

- 00:17:58,352 --> 00:18:00,229
- You'd make good Marines.
- 255
- 00:18:01,647 --> 00:18:04,942
- ln fact, from this moment,
- 256
- 00:18:05,068 --> 00:18:07,695
- each one of you
- is like an inductee...
- 257
- 00:18:07,862 --> 00:18:11,115
- - Who's a duck?
- - with a clean record.
- - Quack.

- - So, if you wanna pass,
- - Quack quack.
- 259
- 00:18:16,454 --> 00:18:18,289
- all you have to do is try.
- 260
- 00:18:22,251 --> 00:18:24,295
- Oh, homes.
- 261
- 00:18:26,631 --> 00:18:29,842
- Because at this point,
- everyone has an "A."
- 262
- 00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:32,428
- - What?
- - ls she serious?
- 263
- 00:18:37,183 --> 00:18:39,936
- But it's up to you to keep it.
- 264
- 00:18:41,521 --> 00:18:45,399
- -Bullshit.
- -Yo, why don't you shut up, man.
- 265
- 00:18:45,525 --> 00:18:49,070
- What if it ain't bullshit? Ain't
- never had no fuckin' "A" before.
- 266
- 00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:53,282
- I once knew a man
- who couldn't read
- 267
- 00:18:53,449 --> 00:18:55,368
- He said it ain't no thang
- 'cause I graduated twice
- 268
- 00:18:55,535 --> 00:18:56,744
- With the game I possess
- 269
- 00:18:56,911 --> 00:18:58,287
- Bulletproof vest
- to the chest
- 270
- 00:18:58,454 --> 00:19:00,790
- But when his kids needed help
- to prepare for a test
- 271
- 00:19:00,915 --> 00:19:03,751
- lt was stress 'cause Pops
- didn't achieve any academics
- 272
- 00:19:03,918 --> 00:19:06,129
- And true, indeed
- This problem is an epidemic
- 273
- 00:19:06,295 --> 00:19:09,549
- Who want to work five long hard days
- through it and get taxed
- 274
- 00:19:09,674 --> 00:19:11,134
- So that's a message
- for your mind
- 275
- 00:19:11,259 --> 00:19:14,720

- about a thousand times

- So, no, I'm gonna make it
- real easy on you, okay?
- 299

- We choose to do some karate.
- 301
- 00:21:22,181 --> 00:21:24,976
- - Yeah, right.
- - Okay, give me a verb
- instead of "choose."
- 302
- 00:21:25,143 --> 00:21:27,812
- - We're going to die?
- - We must die, okay.
- 303
- 00:21:27,937 --> 00:21:32,567
- - Okay, "we must die." ls "must"
- a verb? Can you, uh--
- - No, "must" ain't no verb.
- 304
- 00:21:32,734 --> 00:21:37,238
- - Can you "must" something?
- - Yeah. I must piss right now.
- You'd better believe it.
- 305
- 00:21:44,078 --> 00:21:47,915
- Okay, what verb that we used
- today is the most powerful?
- 306
- 00:21:48,082 --> 00:21:50,668
- - Die.
- - Piss.
- 307
- 00:21:50,793 --> 00:21:53,087
- Oh, you so stupid!
- 308
- 00:21:55,214 --> 00:21:58,050
- - Choose.
- - Choose.
- 309
- 00:21:58,176 --> 00:21:59,927
- - What's your name?
- - Callie.
- 310
- 00:22:00,094 --> 00:22:02,430
- Callie, why?
- 311
- 00:22:02,555 --> 00:22:05,475
- Because that's the difference between
- owning your life and being afraid.
- 312
- 00:22:05,641 --> 00:22:07,268
- Saying "l choose"
- no matter what.
- 313
- 00:22:07,435 --> 00:22:09,270
- You mean, like a guy's got
- a gun to your head...
- 314
- 00:22:09,437 --> 00:22:12,106
- and he's pulling the trigger
- and you say, "l choose to die"?
- 315
- 00:22:12,190 --> 00:22:17,153
- No, you ain't choosin' to die,
- but you can choose to die
- without screaming, right?
- 316
- 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,447
- I mean, you could always
- choose somethin'.
- 317
- 00:22:19,614 --> 00:22:21,783
- - Not where I live.
- - Shit.
- 318
- 00:22:21,949 --> 00:22:23,993
- Did you read that somewhere
- in this class?
- 319
- 00:22:26,996 --> 00:22:32,794
- No. ln our class we readin' this book
- called My Darling, My Hamburger.
- 320
- 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,629
- - From this.
- - My what?
- 321
- 00:22:34,796 --> 00:22:37,632
- - My Darling, My Hamburger.
- - Hamburger?
- 322
- 00:22:39,509 --> 00:22:42,929
- Possessive pronoun, noun,
- possessive pronoun.
- 323
- 00:22:43,096 --> 00:22:45,807
- - Oh, watch it, girl.
- - Let's see.
- 324
- 00:22:45,973 --> 00:22:47,850
- E-Excuse me.
- 325
- 00:22:48,017 --> 00:22:49,811
- - Excuse me, Miss Johnson.
- - Uh-- Oh, yes.
- 326
- 00:22:49,936 --> 00:22:53,106
- Would you stop by the principaI's office
- before your next class, please?
- 327
- 00:22:53,272 --> 00:22:56,401
- Mr Grandey would like
- to speak to you.
- 328
- 00:22:56,526 --> 00:22:59,529
- The principal!
- 329
- 00:22:59,654 --> 00:23:02,990
- Oooh, White Bread in trouble!
- 330
- 00:23:23,136 --> 00:23:25,888
- Yes. I'll talk to you later.
- 331
- 00:23:26,013 --> 00:23:28,474
- Bye-bye.
- 332
- 00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:32,478
- Miss Johnson, this is an office.
- We knock before we enter.
- 333
- 00:23:33,646 --> 00:23:35,690
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- 334
- 00:23:35,815 --> 00:23:37,191
- Please.
- 335
- 00:23:43,156 --> 00:23:47,702
- Now, Miss Johnson,
- I'm taking into consideration
- the fact that you're new...
- 336
- 00:23:47,827 --> 00:23:51,873
- and therefore don't know that teaching
- karate is against school policy...
- 337
- 00:23:51,998 --> 00:23:55,918
- and can lead to a lawsuit
- in case of an injury.
- 338
- 00:23:56,085 --> 00:23:59,213
- But you can avoid this kind of error--
- you simply follow the curriculum...
- 339
- 00:23:59,338 --> 00:24:01,716
- dictated by
- the Board of Education.
- 340
- 00:24:04,844 --> 00:24:09,140
- Well, um, sir, that's
- almost impossible, um--
- 341
- 00:24:09,265 --> 00:24:12,852
- Most of my students don't
- even know what a verb is.
- 342
- 00:24:13,019 --> 00:24:14,604
- lf you're going to teach them,
- 343
- 00:24:14,729 --> 00:24:19,484
- I'm sure there's a better sentence
- than "We choose to die."
- 344
- 00:24:19,609 --> 00:24:22,904
- I'm sure there are, but I--
- I-l needed a sentence that
- would get their attention...
- 345
- 00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:27,533
- - Mmm.
- - and, well, it had to
- be better than this.
- 346
- 00:24:29,744 --> 00:24:33,206
- Miss Johnson, that is the approved
- curriculum for second period.
- 347
- 00:24:33,372 --> 00:24:35,500
- Your class.
- 348
- 00:24:35,625 --> 00:24:39,045
- Now, I know the newer the teacher,
- the smarter she is,
- 349
- 00:24:39,170 --> 00:24:44,675
- but I-I'm afraid you're just
- going to have to go along
- with our policies,
- 350
- 00:24:44,842 --> 00:24:47,678
- even if you don't
- agree with them.
- 351
- 00:24:49,847 --> 00:24:52,141
- - All right?
- - Mm-hmm.
- 352
- 00:24:53,434 --> 00:24:55,394
- What a fuckin' idiot.
- 353
- 00:25:00,525 --> 00:25:02,902
- - Griffith.
- - Don't let them get to you.
- 354
- 00:25:03,069 --> 00:25:06,197
- I'm not. I-ln fact, I'm about to
- challenge the entire curriculum.
- 355
- 00:25:06,322 --> 00:25:11,619
- - lf I could just find the paper
- in the Xerox room.
- - You can't. There isn't any.
- 356
- 00:25:11,744 --> 00:25:14,288
- - What do you mean?
- - I mean there isn't any.
- 357
- 00:25:14,414 --> 00:25:18,584
- I mean, we're out of Xerox paper and art
- paper and we're short on pencils.
- 358
- 00:25:18,751 --> 00:25:22,630
- But we do have plenty of students.
- I guess that, uh, balances things out.
- 359
- 00:25:25,341 --> 00:25:26,801
- Thanks.
- 360
- 00:25:34,434 --> 00:25:36,727
- Another fuckin' idiot.
- 361
- 00:25:36,853 --> 00:25:39,772
- No, I can't run, I can't hide
- from all this pressure
- 362
- 00:25:39,897 --> 00:25:42,984
- lf I sell out, that means
- I'm coppin' to a lesser charge
- 363
- 00:25:43,109 --> 00:25:46,070
- - And whenever there's a will
- baby, there's a way
- - Shit!
- 364
- 00:25:46,195 --> 00:25:49,115
- Each one teach one I always say
- the murder rate is risin'
- 365
- 00:25:49,282 --> 00:25:53,327
- Society ain't scarin' me
- Life is like a puzzle
- Ain't no tellin' when they'll bury me
- 366
- 00:25:53,453 --> 00:25:57,290
- - Problems, problems
- How are we gonna solve 'em
- - So, what's on today's lesson plan?
- 367
- 00:25:57,415 --> 00:26:01,335
- A little kickboxing?
- Some, uh, target practice, huh?
- 368
- 00:26:01,502 --> 00:26:04,505
- No. My own little
- secret weapon.
- 369
- 00:26:04,672 --> 00:26:07,425
- Problems, problems
- How are we gonna solve 'em
- 370
- 00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:14,682
- Okay, so, "never" is--
- 371
- 00:26:14,849 --> 00:26:16,976
- - lt's a verb!
- - Adverb! Adverb!
- - Adverb! Adverb!
- 372
- 00:26:17,143 --> 00:26:19,228
- Adverb! Fantastic!
- 373
- 00:26:19,353 --> 00:26:21,689
- - Whoo!
- - You guys'll be reading poetry soon.
- 374
- 00:26:21,856 --> 00:26:24,233
- - You guys are sharp.
- - Oh, my--
- 375
- 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,069
- - Whoa!
- - Okay.
- 376
- 00:26:28,154 --> 00:26:30,323
- - Homeboy!
- - King of the calle!
- 377
- 00:26:30,490 --> 00:26:32,700
- Sit down, sit down, sit down.
- 378
- 00:26:35,912 --> 00:26:38,581
- - Sit down.
- - Honourable sensei. Hmm.
- 379
- 00:26:38,664 --> 00:26:42,543
- lt's obvious that "homeboy"
- is a noun.
- 380
- 00:26:44,837 --> 00:26:46,714
- Noun is correct!
- 381
- 00:26:46,881 --> 00:26:49,634
- Well, give me my damn candy bar.
- 382
- 00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:51,177
- - Whoo!
- - Thank you.
- 383
- 00:26:51,344 --> 00:26:54,555
- Boy, poetry will be a piece
- of cake for this crowd.
- 384
- 00:26:54,722 --> 00:26:58,768
- Yo, how come you keep sayin' poetry?
- What's poetry got to do with this shit?
- 385
- 00:26:58,893 --> 00:27:01,604
- Poetry? WelI--
- 386
- 00:27:01,771 --> 00:27:04,565
- Because if you can read poetry,
- you can read just about anything, hon.
- 387
- 00:27:05,399 --> 00:27:08,319
- - When you're ready for poetry,
- you're ready for bear.
- - I say bring on the bear!
- 388
- 00:27:08,486 --> 00:27:11,781
- - I'm always ready for bear. Shit.
- - I'm always ready to see you bare.
- 389
- 00:27:11,948 --> 00:27:15,993
- - Whoa!
- - Oh, shut up, you stupid!
- - Oh, yeah? Ohh! Ohh!
- 390
- 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,206
- Well, okay, here's the bear.
- 391
- 00:27:21,332 --> 00:27:23,376
- So what the fuck is that?
- 392
- 00:27:23,501 --> 00:27:29,298
- - I just happen to have copies
- of-of-- of a poem...
- - Wait for me! Shit!
- 393
- 00:27:29,424 --> 00:27:33,094
- - That's okay.
- - written by the greatest poet.
- 394
- 00:27:33,261 --> 00:27:35,263
- My Darling, My Hamburger.
- How's that?
- 395
- 00:27:37,974 --> 00:27:39,809
- - Okay, here's the deal.
- - She was joking about the bear.
- 396
- 00:27:39,976 --> 00:27:44,188
- When we finish this assignment,
- I am gonna take...
- 397
- 00:27:44,313 --> 00:27:46,065
- all of you...
- 398

- the biggest roller coaster,

- 00:27:59,078 --> 00:28:00,663
- the hardest games...
- 404
- 00:28:00,830 --> 00:28:04,792
- and the best prizes
- in the world.
- 405
- 00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:07,003
- - You're kiddin'.
- - For real?
- 406
- 00:28:07,170 --> 00:28:10,047
- - And we don't gotta pay for it?
- - Huh?
- 407
- 00:28:10,214 --> 00:28:13,009
- - And we don't gotta pay for it?
- - Not a penny.
- 408
- 00:28:13,176 --> 00:28:16,137
- So then, who pays?
- 409
- 00:28:16,304 --> 00:28:18,723
- The Board of Education.
- 410
- 00:28:18,890 --> 00:28:20,975
- - Lord, did you hear that?
- - I don't believe it.
- 411
- 00:28:22,602 --> 00:28:25,813
- - Sound good?
- - Hey!
- 412
- 00:28:28,274 --> 00:28:30,109
- That's bullshit, man!
- 413
- 00:28:31,944 --> 00:28:33,404
- I'm sorry?
- 414
- 00:28:35,406 --> 00:28:38,326
- Since when has the Board of Education
- done anything for us, huh?
- 415
- 00:28:38,493 --> 00:28:41,329
- Yeah, man, we fuckin'
- barely get lunch.
- 416
- 00:28:42,830 --> 00:28:45,583
- Well, I'm sorry you feel
- that way, Emilio.
- 417
- 00:28:48,044 --> 00:28:50,296
- Good.
- 418
- 00:28:50,463 --> 00:28:54,842
- - Uh, Durrell, you wanna read
- the first four lines?
- - Oh, man, you trippin', man.

- 00:29:00,098 --> 00:29:02,725
- - Okay, how about the f--
- - You've got to read it.
- - How about the first line?
- 421
- 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,230
- I'm scared to death, motherfucker,
- all right? That's all.
- 422
- 00:29:18,825 --> 00:29:22,703
- - Move slowly to the right, people.
- - Yep, yep

- 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,105
- - Yeah
- - To smoke a fat one
- 431
- 00:29:49,272 --> 00:29:52,108
- - To smoke a fat one
- - And drink a Thunderbird
- 432
- 00:29:52,233 --> 00:29:55,027
- - Drink a Thunderbird
- - lt's okay
- 433
- 00:29:55,153 --> 00:29:58,030
- - lt's okay
- - To play this loud
- 434
- 00:29:58,197 --> 00:30:04,078
- - Mister DJ, don't mean
- to sweat you down
- - Wait
- 435
- 00:30:04,245 --> 00:30:07,457
- - I'll get you, you little fucker.
- - Yep

- - Poetry?
- - Poetry, yeah.
- 437
- 00:30:10,543 --> 00:30:12,962
- - These kids?
- - Why not these kids?
- 438
- 00:30:13,087 --> 00:30:15,298
- Well, hey, go for it.
- 439
- 00:30:15,465 --> 00:30:18,885
- No, but I gotta find a gimmick
- first, you know. Something
- that'll grab their attention.
- 440
- 00:30:19,051 --> 00:30:21,095
- - Who's your favourite poet, Griffith?
- - My favourite?
- 441
- 00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:24,056
- - Oh, there are so many.
- How do I choose?
- - I'm serious.
- 442
- 00:30:24,223 --> 00:30:26,893
- Mmm. Serious. Okay.
- 443
- 00:30:26,976 --> 00:30:29,353
- - Big D. Dylan.
- - Get out!
- 444
- 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,355
- Why not?
- 445
- 00:30:31,522 --> 00:30:33,900
- Well, I don-- He's n-- You know,
- he's not for everybody.
- 446
- 00:30:34,025 --> 00:30:36,944
- I mean, he's a little
- long-winded, don't you think?
- 447
- 00:30:37,070 --> 00:30:39,280
- I suppose that's 'cause
- he wrote drunk.
- 448
- 00:30:39,447 --> 00:30:41,199
- He had a drinking problem?
- 449
- 00:30:41,324 --> 00:30:43,659
- Well, the guy's Welsh.
- There ain't a lot to do there.
- 450
- 00:30:43,826 --> 00:30:46,079
- I thought he was from Minnesota.
- 451
- 00:30:46,204 --> 00:30:49,373
- You know, if the guy's your
- favourite poet, you might want
- to read up on him a little bit.
- 452
- 00:30:49,540 --> 00:30:51,626
- He was Welsh and
- he drank himself to death.
- 453
- 00:30:51,751 --> 00:30:54,921
- Dead? He's not dead.
- I saw him yesterday on MTV.
- 454
- 00:30:57,340 --> 00:30:59,675
- You saw Dylan Thomas on MTV.
- 455
- 00:31:01,094 --> 00:31:02,845
- No. Bob Dylan.
- 456
- 00:31:02,970 --> 00:31:05,223
- Oh--
- 457
- 00:31:05,389 --> 00:31:08,476
- -Bob Dylan? Ohh!
- -He looked dead. He looked dead.
- 458
- 00:31:08,643 --> 00:31:12,105
- - Ohh!
- - Hey, Mr Tambourine Man
- 459
- 00:31:12,271 --> 00:31:15,358
- Play a song for me
- 460
- 00:31:16,192 --> 00:31:19,153
- "Hey, Mr Tambourine Man--"
- 461
- 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,322
- - Tambourine!
- - Tambourine!
- - Tangerine.
- 462
- 00:31:21,447 --> 00:31:24,158
- "T-Tambourine Man,
- 463
- 00:31:24,283 --> 00:31:27,495
- Play a song for me
- 464
- 00:31:27,662 --> 00:31:31,791
- I'm not sleepy and there is
- no place I'm going to"
- 465
- 00:31:31,916 --> 00:31:33,584
- Wow, he can read.
- 466
- 00:31:33,709 --> 00:31:35,628
- Thank you. Taiwana?
- 467
- 00:31:38,089 --> 00:31:40,967
- The next three lines, Taiwana.
- 468
- 00:31:41,134 --> 00:31:43,261
- "Hey, Mr Tambourine Man
- 469
- 00:31:43,386 --> 00:31:45,721
- Play a song for me
- 470
- 00:31:45,888 --> 00:31:49,475
- ln the jingle-jangle morning
- I'll come following you"
- 471
- 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,561
- - Good.
- - All right.
- 472
- 00:31:51,686 --> 00:31:53,521
- - Yes.
- - What does that mean?
- 473
- 00:31:53,688 --> 00:31:56,023
- What do you think it means?
- 474
- 00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:58,109
- What, some guy's
- got a tambourine...
- 475
- 00:31:58,234 --> 00:32:01,654
- and this other guy wants him to
- play it 'cause he can't sleep.
- 476
- 00:32:01,821 --> 00:32:04,449
- - Okay.
- - Yeah, but how come he want
- to play the tambourine?
- 477
- 00:32:04,615 --> 00:32:07,285
- Don't he got a radio or somethin'?
- You know what I'm sayin'?
- 478
- 00:32:07,368 --> 00:32:12,331
- Well, you kn-- That's a good point.
- I mean, i-i-it's-- it's a weird choice.
- 479
- 00:32:12,498 --> 00:32:16,794
- So, what if I told you
- that Mr Tambourine Man...
- 480
- 00:32:16,919 --> 00:32:18,671
- is a code name?
- 481
- 00:32:18,796 --> 00:32:22,133
- - A code name for what?
- - James Bond.
- 482
- 00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:24,802
- - A drug dealer.
- - ls it?
- 483
- 00:32:24,969 --> 00:32:26,804
- Well, a lot of people think so.
- 484
- 00:32:26,929 --> 00:32:30,016
- You know, this song is from the '60s,
- when you couldn't sing about drugs,
- 485
- 00:32:30,183 --> 00:32:32,268
- so they had to make up codes.
- 486
- 00:32:32,393 --> 00:32:37,899
- So what was the code?
- What does "Hey, Mr Tambourine Man
- Play a song for me" mean?
- 487
- 00:32:38,024 --> 00:32:41,069
- - Well, you figure--
- - "Play a song for me"
- means "give me the stuff."
- 488
- 00:32:41,194 --> 00:32:43,946
- Yeah, it's like that nigger
- been out drinkin' all night
- and smokin' some shit...
- 489
- 00:32:44,072 --> 00:32:46,449
- and everybody broke out on his
- ass, you know what I'm sayin'?
- 490
- 00:32:46,616 --> 00:32:50,661
- And he's high-- he's still high,
- but he's kinda low and shaky.
- You know-- "jingle-jangle."
- 491
- 00:32:50,828 --> 00:32:54,082
- Yeah, and he needs something, like
- a big hit of crack or cocaine and shit.
- 492
- 00:32:54,207 --> 00:32:56,250
- He's crazy, okay?
- 493
- 00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:59,378
- So, what do you think, Emilio?
- Do you think that Raul is right?
- 494
- 00:33:02,006 --> 00:33:06,094
- - All right, it's too
- personal to discuss.
- - What?
- 495
- 00:33:06,219 --> 00:33:09,555
- You mean you choose not to
- participate in the discussion?
- 496
- 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,975
- - Boy's too slick.
- - Not about somethin' so personal.
- 497
- 00:33:17,939 --> 00:33:20,441
- Wanna draw for it?
- 498
- 00:33:20,566 --> 00:33:22,610
- What?
- 499
- 00:33:22,777 --> 00:33:26,489
- High card, you don't have to
- discuss anything.
- 500
- 00:33:28,241 --> 00:33:31,244
- Why do I gotta draw for it?
- That's the way it is now.
- 501
- 00:33:49,762 --> 00:33:52,265
- Listen to this.
- 502
- 00:33:52,390 --> 00:33:55,977
- Name one of the most influential
- presidents of the 20th century.
- 503
- 00:33:56,144 --> 00:33:58,980
- - Roosevelt.
- - Simple, right?
- 504
- 00:33:59,105 --> 00:34:02,608
- Wrong.
- A history teacher's nightmare.
- 505
- 00:34:04,110 --> 00:34:06,154
- How about Snoop Doggy Dogg
- for an answer?
- 506
- 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,741
- Joe Montana. Winston Churchill.
- 507
- 00:34:11,617 --> 00:34:14,954
- But this-- this is the best.
- 508
- 00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:19,083
- "l will not answer this question on the
- grounds that it is culturally biased...
- 509
- 00:34:19,208 --> 00:34:21,627
- against individuals
- such as myself."
- 510
- 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,049
- Actually, for this answer I'm
- gonna give him partial credit.
- 511
- 00:34:29,135 --> 00:34:31,679
- Louanne, you lose your
- sense of humour, it's over.
- 512
- 00:34:33,097 --> 00:34:35,349
- Uh, here.
- New pictures of the rug rats.
- 513
- 00:34:35,516 --> 00:34:38,603
- - Oh, God. People are supposed
- to ask first, Griffith.
- - Shut up.
- 514
- 00:34:40,897 --> 00:34:44,025
- Ohh. They look like Maggie.
- Thank God.
- 515
- 00:34:44,192 --> 00:34:47,695
- Oh, I don't know. Harry with his thumb
- in his mouth, he kinda looks like me.
- 516
- 00:34:47,862 --> 00:34:50,865
- ls that his thumb?
- I thought that was a cigarette.
- 517
- 00:34:50,990 --> 00:34:53,201
- - How is Maggie?
- - Good.
- 518
- 00:34:53,326 --> 00:34:55,369
- She wants you to come over
- for dinner.
- 519
- 00:34:55,495 --> 00:34:59,874
- We had some fun times, you and Maggie
- and me and-- what's his name?
- 520
- 00:35:01,501 --> 00:35:03,628
- - I remember.
- - Yeah.
- 521
- 00:35:06,089 --> 00:35:10,384
- I remember too. That's why it's
- hard for me to come to dinner.
- 522
- 00:35:12,887 --> 00:35:14,889
- - Seeing anybody?
- - No.
- 523
- 00:35:16,808 --> 00:35:19,227
- How do you do that? You walk around
- with a bag over your head?
- 524
- 00:35:19,393 --> 00:35:22,146
- - No.
- - Louanne, it's over six months.
- 525
- 00:35:22,271 --> 00:35:24,148
- I'm not ready, Hal.
- 526
- 00:35:27,276 --> 00:35:32,573
- You know, I thought you guys
- always stuck together. What are
- you sitting here with me for?
- 527
- 00:35:32,698 --> 00:35:37,703
- You know, he was my best friend,
- Louanne. "Was" is the operative word.
- 528
- 00:35:39,163 --> 00:35:41,499
- He isn't worth your spit.
- 529
- 00:35:50,383 --> 00:35:52,385
- What was that for?
- 530
- 00:35:52,552 --> 00:35:55,972
- Just tell Maggie
- she's a lucky lady, Griffith.
- 531
- 00:35:56,097 --> 00:35:59,767
- Yeah, when they made me they
- broke the mold. Both of them.
- 532
- 00:36:04,105 --> 00:36:06,065
- - Good morning, ladies.
- - Good morning.
- 533
- 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:16,284
- We gotta stop meeting like this.
- 534
- 00:36:19,871 --> 00:36:22,749
- You sound awful.
- 535
- 00:36:22,915 --> 00:36:24,500
- I refuse to take
- medical advice...
- 536
- 00:36:24,625 --> 00:36:29,088
- from somebody who eats Cheetos
- at 8:00 in the morning.
- 537
- 00:36:29,255 --> 00:36:33,134
- Yeah, well, you shouldn't smoke.
- Listen to that cough!
- 538
- 00:36:34,969 --> 00:36:36,304
- You know--
- 539
- 00:36:38,514 --> 00:36:40,975
- - I'll see you inside.
- - You're gonna finish
- the cigarette, aren't you?
- 540
- 00:36:41,142 --> 00:36:44,687
- No, I'm not. Really.
- Honest. I swear.
- 541

- Here! Right here! Yeah!

- - Guys are off playin' pool.
- - You wanna smoke a cigarette?
- 543
- 00:37:02,038 --> 00:37:04,707
- - I gave you your money, man. 350 bucks!
- - Three-fifty?
- 544
- 00:37:04,791 --> 00:37:06,959
- What are you talkin' about, homes?
- Are you callin' me a liar?
- 545
- 00:37:07,126 --> 00:37:10,505
- - What, do you think I'm fuckin' stupid?
- - Yo, man, no.

- Okay, if you give me your word that

- Get to your class
- and behave yourself.
- 566
- 00:38:43,765 --> 00:38:46,184
- You shouldn't have done that.
- 567
- 00:38:46,350 --> 00:38:50,271
- - Oh? Why not?
- - 'Cause you just shouldn't
- mess with Emilio.
- 568
- 00:38:50,438 --> 00:38:53,816
- Raul knows that if you make a deal
- with Emilio and you fuck up on him,
- 569
- 00:38:53,983 --> 00:38:55,818
- you get your locker smashed in
- with your head.
- 570
- 00:38:55,943 --> 00:38:58,446
- Everybody knows that.
- 571
- 00:38:58,571 --> 00:39:00,948
- Well, maybe they'll all have
- time to think about it...
- 572
- 00:39:01,074 --> 00:39:02,784
- before they get to
- the locker-smashing stage.
- 573
- 00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:05,912
- They're gonna fight,
- no matter what they tell you.
- 574
- 00:39:07,747 --> 00:39:09,957
- What do you mean?
- 575

- 00:40:18,693 --> 00:40:21,529
- or we couldn't walk around
- with our heads up no more.
- 592
- 00:40:21,696 --> 00:40:25,241
- We got a reputation to protect.
- You a Marine. You understand.
- 593
- 00:40:25,408 --> 00:40:27,493
- Like, if America didn't stand up
- everyone would attack it.
- 594
- 00:40:27,618 --> 00:40:30,705
- Well, in our neighbourhood if you don't
- stand up you can't walk down the street,
- 595
- 00:40:30,830 --> 00:40:32,999
- 'cause everyone will attack you,
- you know?
- 596
- 00:40:35,126 --> 00:40:37,670
- Rata, you fuckin' puto.
- 597
- 00:40:37,837 --> 00:40:41,048

- And I made it worse and I made you and
- Gusmaro look bad in front of everyone...
- 600
- 00:40:52,185 --> 00:40:54,395
- by saying that Emilio was
- stronger than the both of you.
- 601
- 00:40:54,562 --> 00:40:57,064
- Yeah, well, you thought
- you was helpin' us.
- 602
- 00:40:57,231 --> 00:41:00,651
- Ma'am, I'm sorry. We really have to go.
- I gotta get 'em home.
- 603
- 00:41:43,820 --> 00:41:45,071
- Nasty cut.
- 604
- 00:41:50,326 --> 00:41:53,037
- You mind telling me what the fight
- was about in the first place?
- 605
- 00:41:53,162 --> 00:41:54,831
- Yeah.
- 606
- 00:41:58,251 --> 00:42:02,588
- I really would like to know
- what happened. I'm not gonna
- make any trouble for you.
- 607
- 00:42:02,755 --> 00:42:05,925
- - I just wanna know, was it worth it?
- - Yeah, it was worth it.
- 608
- 00:42:06,050 --> 00:42:09,095
- - Why?
- - Because it felt good
- hittin' him in the face.
- 609
- 00:42:09,220 --> 00:42:12,306
- - I got him good, man.
- - Yeah, you like to hit people?
- 610
- 00:42:12,432 --> 00:42:14,308
- Yeah, I like to hit people.
- 611
- 00:42:16,811 --> 00:42:19,313
- Why?
- 612
- 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,024
- You feel angry
- a lot of the time?
- 613
- 00:42:22,191 --> 00:42:25,069
- So now you're gonna
- try and psychologize me?
- 614
- 00:42:25,236 --> 00:42:28,823
- You're gonna try and figure
- me out? I'll help you.
- 615
- 00:42:28,990 --> 00:42:31,993
- I come from a broken home,
- and we're poor. Okay?
- 616
- 00:42:33,494 --> 00:42:36,330
- I see the same fuckin' movies
- you do, man.
- 617
- 00:42:39,959 --> 00:42:42,462
- I would like to help you,
- Emilio.
- 618
- 00:42:42,587 --> 00:42:46,674
- Thank you very much. And how
- would you like to do that?
- 619
- 00:42:46,799 --> 00:42:50,011
- You gonna give me some good
- advice? "Just say no"?
- 620
- 00:42:50,178 --> 00:42:53,514
- You gonna get me off
- the streets? Well, forget it!
- 621
- 00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:56,726
- How the fuck you gonna
- save me from my life, huh?
- 622
- 00:43:03,733 --> 00:43:05,568
- Yep, yep

- student files here...
- 625
- 00:43:11,908 --> 00:43:15,161
- - and I can't find a phone
- number in any of 'em.
- - Yep, yep
- 626
- 00:43:15,328 --> 00:43:17,538
- Well, sometimes they don't
- give a number...
- 627
- 00:43:17,663 --> 00:43:20,124
- - and sometimes
- they don't have a phone.
- - Yep, yep
- 628
- 00:43:20,249 --> 00:43:24,253
- - lt's all right

- - A Thunderbird
- 631
- 00:43:30,384 --> 00:43:32,553
- - lt's okay
- - lt's okay
- 632
- 00:43:32,678 --> 00:43:35,556
- - To play this loud
- - Oh, play it loud
- 633
- 00:43:35,723 --> 00:43:40,645
- Mister DJ, don't mean
- to sweat you down
- 634
- 00:43:40,812 --> 00:43:42,897
- - lt's all right
- - lt's all right
- 635
- 00:43:43,022 --> 00:43:45,441
- - As you may have heard
- - Yeah
- 636
- 00:43:45,608 --> 00:43:48,152
- - To smoke a fat one
- - Smoke a fat one

- 00:43:48,277 --> 00:43:53,074
- - And drink a 'Bird
- - A Thunderbird, now
- 638
- 00:43:53,241 --> 00:43:57,578
- lt's okay
- 639
- 00:44:04,961 --> 00:44:07,338
- Come on. Come on.
- 640
- 00:44:09,006 --> 00:44:10,341
- Do your homework.
- 641
- 00:44:31,446 --> 00:44:35,283
- - You have a lovely family,
- Mrs. Sanchero.
- - Thank you.
- 642
- 00:44:40,413 --> 00:44:42,790
- We know why you're here,
- Miss Johnson.
- 643
- 00:44:44,167 --> 00:44:47,336
- I warned Raul to
- stay out of trouble.
- 644
- 00:44:47,503 --> 00:44:50,798
- He's first in our family to
- maybe graduate high school.
- 645
- 00:44:50,923 --> 00:44:54,010
- - So he gonna get punished big
- for what he done.
- - N--
- 646
- 00:44:56,012 --> 00:44:57,597
- Don't you worry about that.
- 647
- 00:44:57,722 --> 00:45:00,600
- But he didn't do anything wrong.
- 648
- 00:45:02,310 --> 00:45:04,479
- -But he expelled for three days.
- -l know. No, I know.
- 649
- 00:45:04,645 --> 00:45:09,275
- But he didn't start the fight. He was
- defending himself from a bigger boy.
- 650
- 00:45:09,442 --> 00:45:11,986
- He was protecting himself.
- 651
- 00:45:12,153 --> 00:45:14,906
- - Uh, why they send him home?
- - lt's just school policy.
- 652
- 00:45:15,073 --> 00:45:18,326
- I-I-lt gives the other boy
- time to cool down.
- 653
- 00:45:18,451 --> 00:45:20,912
- Actually,
- 654
- 00:45:21,037 --> 00:45:25,291
- I'm here because I just wanted
- to tell you both personally...
- 655
- 00:45:25,416 --> 00:45:29,378
- what a pleasure it's been having
- Raul in my class this semester.
- 656
- 00:45:29,504 --> 00:45:31,923
- You must be very proud.
- 657
- 00:45:35,134 --> 00:45:36,844
- Yes.
- 658
- 00:45:37,011 --> 00:45:39,972
- He's, um--
- Well, he's very bright...
- 659
- 00:45:40,139 --> 00:45:43,518
- and funny, articulate.
- 660
- 00:45:45,561 --> 00:45:48,648
- The truth is, he's--
- he's one of my favourites.
- 661
- 00:46:31,774 --> 00:46:34,152
- Uh, soy Louanne Johnson.
- 662
- 00:46:40,867 --> 00:46:42,076
- Oh.
- 663
- 00:46:43,953 --> 00:46:47,248
- "l will not go down underground
- 664
- 00:46:47,415 --> 00:46:50,084
- 'Cause somebody tells me
- that death's comin' 'round"
- 665
- 00:46:51,335 --> 00:46:53,713
- Okay, this is another
- Dylan poem.
- 666
- 00:46:53,838 --> 00:46:58,050
- Now, is that a code, or does
- that just mean what it says?
- 667
- 00:47:06,768 --> 00:47:08,811
- "And I will not carry myself
- down to die
- 668
- 00:47:08,978 --> 00:47:11,105
- When I go to my grave
- My head will be high"
- 669
- 00:47:11,230 --> 00:47:13,691
- "My head will be high."
- What does that mean?
- 670
- 00:47:16,611 --> 00:47:17,862
- Anybody.
- 671
- 00:47:21,365 --> 00:47:23,951
- Nobody.
- 672
- 00:47:24,077 --> 00:47:26,454
- ls there something
- I should know?
- 673
- 00:47:27,914 --> 00:47:29,624
- Yeah. I'll tell you.
- 674
- 00:47:29,791 --> 00:47:33,461
- You ratted on Raul,
- Gusmaro and Emilio.
- 675
- 00:47:33,586 --> 00:47:36,130
- Yeah. You got Emilio
- put into detention.
- 676
- 00:47:36,255 --> 00:47:38,299
- lt wasn't none of your
- business, chismosa.
- 677
- 00:47:38,466 --> 00:47:40,635
- And you got Raul
- and Gusmaro suspended.
- 678
- 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,054
- - Now they're gonna get
- their fuckin' asses kicked.
- - And you got Emilio--
- 679
- 00:47:43,221 --> 00:47:45,348
- - Hey, I didn't rat on anybody.
- - Wasn't none of your business
- anyway, you chismosa.
- 680
- 00:47:45,473 --> 00:47:48,726
- - Bullshit.
- - Let this--
- - Told you she was full of shit.
- 681
- 00:47:48,893 --> 00:47:52,897
- - Snitches get stitches, bitch.
- - Do you wanna talk about this?
- 682
- 00:47:53,064 --> 00:47:56,484
- On you, shit. Whatever
- floats your boat, teach.
- 683
- 00:47:56,609 --> 00:47:58,861
- We don't have no choices
- in this room.
- 684
- 00:47:59,028 --> 00:48:01,697
- Well, if you all feel that strongly
- about it, leave the room.
- 685
- 00:48:01,823 --> 00:48:04,033
- - What?
- - Hey, listen.
- 686
- 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:09,914
- Nobody's forcing you to be here.
- You have a choice.
- You can stay, or you can leave.
- 687
- 00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:13,000
- Lady, why are you playin' this
- game? We don't have a choice.
- 688
- 00:48:13,126 --> 00:48:16,504
- You don't have a choice? You don't have
- a choice on whether or not you're here?
- 689
- 00:48:16,671 --> 00:48:20,007
- No. lf we leave, we don't
- get to graduate. lf we stay,
- we gotta put up with you.
- 690
- 00:48:20,174 --> 00:48:22,218
- Well, that's a choice, isn't it?
- You have a choice.
- 691
- 00:48:22,385 --> 00:48:24,470
- You either don't graduate
- or you have to put up with me.
- 692
- 00:48:24,595 --> 00:48:27,348
- lt may not be a choice you like,
- but it is a choice.
- 693
- 00:48:27,515 --> 00:48:30,643
- Man, you don't understand nothin'. l
- mean, you don't come from where we live.
- 694
- 00:48:30,810 --> 00:48:34,689
- - You-- You're not bussed here.
- - Do you have a choice
- to get on that bus?
- 695
- 00:48:34,856 --> 00:48:37,191
- Man, you come and live in my
- neighbourhood for one week...
- 696
- 00:48:37,358 --> 00:48:39,652
- and then you tell me
- if you got a choice.
- 697
- 00:48:39,777 --> 00:48:44,198
- There are a lot of people who
- live in your neighbourhood who
- choose not to get on that bus.
- 698
- 00:48:44,365 --> 00:48:47,076
- What do they choose to do?
- They choose to go out and sell drugs.
- 699
- 00:48:47,201 --> 00:48:50,496
- They choose to go out and kill people.
- They choose to do a lot of other things.
- 700
- 00:48:50,621 --> 00:48:52,874
- But they choose not to
- get on that bus.
- 701
- 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:57,253
- The people who choose to get on
- that bus, which are you,
- are the people who are saying,
- 702
- 00:48:57,420 --> 00:48:59,714
- "l will not carry myself
- down to die
- 703
- 00:48:59,881 --> 00:49:02,675
- When I go to my grave
- My head will be high"
- 704
- 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,011
- That is a choice.
- 705
- 00:49:05,178 --> 00:49:07,513
- There are no victims
- in this classroom!
- 706
- 00:49:12,894 --> 00:49:15,021
- Why do you care anyway?
- You just here for the money.
- 707
- 00:49:15,146 --> 00:49:17,732
- Because I make a choice to care.
- And, honey, the money ain't that good.
- 708
- 00:49:17,857 --> 00:49:20,234
- - Whatever.
- - Read it again, Miss Johnson.
- 709
- 00:49:20,359 --> 00:49:24,238
- - What?
- - Read those lines you just read again.
- 710
- 00:49:38,711 --> 00:49:40,505
- "l will not go down underground
- 711
- 00:49:40,671 --> 00:49:44,550
- 'Cause somebody tells me
- that death's comin' 'round"
- 712
- 00:49:48,888 --> 00:49:51,140
- Does that mean
- just what it says?
- 713
- 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,437
- No, it don't mean
- just what it says.
- 714
- 00:49:56,604 --> 00:49:59,107
- Because...
- 715
- 00:49:59,273 --> 00:50:01,609
- you wouldn't go
- under the ground...
- 716
- 00:50:01,734 --> 00:50:05,488
- if someone told you
- death was comin'.
- 717
- 00:50:05,655 --> 00:50:09,200
- But you would go into the ground
- if you were already dead.
- 718
- 00:50:16,624 --> 00:50:19,961
- Do the rest of you
- agree with that?
- 719
- 00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,345
- Well, I kinda agree with it,
- 720
- 00:50:29,512 --> 00:50:33,391
- but I think
- it just means that...
- 721
- 00:50:33,516 --> 00:50:35,268
- he ain't gonna help death out,
- you know?
- 722
- 00:50:35,435 --> 00:50:38,104
- lt's not like he's just gonna
- lay down and wait for it.
- 723
- 00:50:38,229 --> 00:50:42,817
- I think he's gonna choose-- No,
- I think he's gonna make the choice--
- 724
- 00:50:42,942 --> 00:50:44,819
- to die hard.
- 725
- 00:50:47,113 --> 00:50:48,948
- Mm-hmm.
- 726
- 00:50:49,073 --> 00:50:51,451
- - Yeah, I agree with that.
- - Yeah, me too.
- 727
- 00:50:51,576 --> 00:50:53,494
- - That's what it sounds like to me.
- - Okay.
- 728
- 00:50:53,661 --> 00:50:57,206
- Well, what about, uh,
- the rest of it? Um--
- 729
- 00:50:57,331 --> 00:50:59,333
- "When I go to my grave
- My head will be high"
- 730
- 00:50:59,459 --> 00:51:02,170
- "Head will be high."
- What does that mean?
- 731
- 00:51:02,336 --> 00:51:06,174
- - You're gonna die with pride.
- - Right.
- 732
- 00:51:06,299 --> 00:51:08,843
- - See you tomorrow.
- - Callie, wait up!
- 733
- 00:51:30,323 --> 00:51:34,410
- You went to RauI's house last
- night, and Gusmaro's too, right?
- 734
- 00:51:34,535 --> 00:51:37,121
- Mm-hmm.
- 735
- 00:51:37,288 --> 00:51:39,457
- Yeah, that's what they told me.
- 736
- 00:51:40,708 --> 00:51:43,211
- That's cool.
- 737
- 00:51:55,014 --> 00:51:58,267
- Hold up, wait a minute
- Don't go there 'cause I ain't with it
- 738
- 00:51:58,392 --> 00:52:01,687
- Hold up, wait a minute
- Don't go there 'cause I ain't with it
- 739
- 00:52:05,817 --> 00:52:09,487
- What you want
- Baby, I got it

- What you need
- Babe, you got it
- 741

- is for a little respect
- 742
- 00:52:18,329 --> 00:52:21,457
- Yo, kick it, homes!
- What you waitin' for, man?
- 743
- 00:52:21,624 --> 00:52:24,752
- - Are you trying to steal my $2.50, ése?
- - Ah, go, go, go.
- 744
- 00:52:24,919 --> 00:52:29,173
- Man, that ain't shit.
- Go faster, man. Go faster, man.

- 747
- 00:52:41,686 --> 00:52:44,981
- - R-E-S-P-E-C-T
- - You got to gimme, gimme
- 748
- 00:52:45,148 --> 00:52:48,401
- - R-E-S-P-E-C-T
- - I got to get it, get it
- 749
- 00:52:48,526 --> 00:52:50,236
- - R-E-S-P-E-C-T
- - Come on, get back.
- 750
- 00:52:50,403 --> 00:52:53,448
- Are you all right, man? That looked
- like a real bitch right then.
- 751
- 00:52:53,573 --> 00:52:57,577
- Hey, get the fuck
- out of there, man. Look at you!
- You look like my grandma, man.
- 752
- 00:53:00,455 --> 00:53:02,999
- - R-E-S-P-E-C-T
- - Miss Johnson,
- 753
- 00:53:03,124 --> 00:53:06,210
- the-- the School Board would have every
- right to insist on your dismissal.
- 754
- 00:53:06,377 --> 00:53:09,505
- You informed no one.
- You got no permission slips.
- 755
- 00:53:09,672 --> 00:53:14,093
- Oh, but there was no one to inform.
- All the kids just decided to go to
- the amusement park at the last minute.
- 756
- 00:53:14,260 --> 00:53:16,929
- And then they let me come along.
- 757
- 00:53:17,054 --> 00:53:20,224
- - Did they pay for you?
- - No, I paid for them.
- 758
- 00:53:23,102 --> 00:53:26,898
- I was just so moved
- by the invitation.
- 759
- 00:53:30,443 --> 00:53:33,112
- This wasn't, by any chance,
- 760
- 00:53:33,237 --> 00:53:37,867
- their reward for reading
- poetry, was it, Miss Johnson?
- 761
- 00:53:37,992 --> 00:53:42,705
- ln my class, Mr Grandey,
- poetry is its own reward.
- 762
- 00:53:47,877 --> 00:53:50,713
- Angela, would you read
- the first line?
- 763
- 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,218
- "Appetizers. Freshly cut bay shrimp
- grilled to perfection."
- 764
- 00:53:55,384 --> 00:53:58,971
- - This is a Xerox of a menu.
- - That is correct.
- 765
- 00:53:59,138 --> 00:54:03,142
- lt's from The Flowering Peach,
- the best restaurant in town.
- 766
- 00:54:03,309 --> 00:54:06,395
- - Ever hear of it?
- - Yeah, we heard of it.
- 767
- 00:54:06,562 --> 00:54:08,815
- lt's supposed to be like
- some special restaurant or somethin'.
- 768
- 00:54:08,981 --> 00:54:11,150
- Mm-hmm.
- So, does it sound good?
- 769
- 00:54:13,027 --> 00:54:17,490
- Because whoever wins the, uh,
- the-- the Dylan-Dylan contest...
- 770
- 00:54:17,615 --> 00:54:19,992
- - The what?
- - goes there for dinner with me.
- 771
- 00:54:20,118 --> 00:54:23,079
- Hey, what's the Dylan-Dylan
- contest about?
- 772
- 00:54:23,246 --> 00:54:25,081
- Well.
- 773
- 00:54:27,959 --> 00:54:30,294
- There's Bob Dylan,
- 774
- 00:54:30,461 --> 00:54:33,005
- who we've been reading.
- 775
- 00:54:33,172 --> 00:54:35,007
- And then...
- 776
- 00:54:35,174 --> 00:54:39,512
- there's Dylan Thomas,
- 777
- 00:54:39,637 --> 00:54:41,347
- who also wrote poems.
- 778
- 00:54:41,514 --> 00:54:44,976
- lf you can find the poem
- written by Dylan Thomas...
- 779
- 00:54:45,143 --> 00:54:50,022
- that is like a poem
- written by Bob Dylan,
- 780
- 00:54:50,189 --> 00:54:52,442
- you win the Dylan-Dylan contest.
- 781
- 00:54:52,567 --> 00:54:57,363
- Hey, Mr Tambourine Man
- Play a song for me
- 782
- 00:54:57,530 --> 00:55:03,536
- I'm not sleepy and there
- is no place I'm going to
- 783
- 00:55:03,703 --> 00:55:08,791
- Hey, Mr Tambourine Man
- Play a song for me
- 784
- 00:55:08,958 --> 00:55:11,377
- ln the jingle-jangle morning
- 785
- 00:55:11,544 --> 00:55:15,047
- I'll come following you
- 786
- 00:55:27,185 --> 00:55:32,273
- Yo, every fuckin' poem Dylan Thomas
- wrote is about death, man.
- 787
- 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,650
- Now, how we supposed to know
- which one to write?
- 788
- 00:55:34,776 --> 00:55:38,154
- "The sniper laid him low,
- and strewed his brains.
- 789
- 00:55:38,321 --> 00:55:40,364
- One would not think
- the greenness of this valley...
- 790
- 00:55:40,490 --> 00:55:42,492
- could let a day be sick
- with so much blood."
- 791
- 00:55:42,617 --> 00:55:45,953
- Man, that's some Rambo-Schwarzenegger
- bullshit you found.
- 792
- 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,955
- - That's how it's supposed to be, right?
- - No.
- 793
- 00:55:48,122 --> 00:55:50,333
- - There's supposed to be killing shit.
- - But it-- But it don't--
- 794
- 00:55:50,458 --> 00:55:53,211
- But it don't even mean the same as
- "l will not go under the ground."
- 795
- 00:55:55,171 --> 00:55:57,590
- Now you're some sort of
- poetic critic, now, right?
- 796
- 00:55:57,715 --> 00:55:59,926
- - Oh, well, it don't.
- - Thank you.
- 797
- 00:56:00,093 --> 00:56:02,637
- Okay. Listen to this.
- 798
- 00:56:04,764 --> 00:56:07,600
- "Do not go gentle
- into that good night.
- 799
- 00:56:07,725 --> 00:56:11,312
- Old age should burn
- and rave at close of day.
- 800
- 00:56:11,479 --> 00:56:15,441
- Rage, rage against
- the dying of the light."
- 801
- 00:56:16,859 --> 00:56:18,986
- Where's the code?
- Where's the death?
- 802
- 00:56:19,112 --> 00:56:21,781
- Night. All that stuff
- about night. That's death.
- 803
- 00:56:23,366 --> 00:56:25,451
- So it's "Don't go gentle
- into that good death."
- 804
- 00:56:25,618 --> 00:56:29,122
- Yeah, but I think "good"
- is sarcastic.
- 805
- 00:56:29,288 --> 00:56:33,459
- When he say, "Do not go gentle,"
- that's like sayin', "Don't go easy."
- 806
- 00:56:33,584 --> 00:56:37,171
- - So it's the same as
- "l will not go down."
- - We just won us
- 807
- 00:56:37,296 --> 00:56:39,715
- Shh.
- 808
- 00:56:39,841 --> 00:56:42,718
- This is the life
- 809
- 00:56:42,885 --> 00:56:46,889
- Everyone has to be somewhere
- 810
- 00:56:49,350 --> 00:56:52,562
- Oh
- 811
- 00:56:52,728 --> 00:56:57,734
- I am here
- 812
- 00:57:03,156 --> 00:57:07,243
- This is the life
- 813
- 00:57:07,410 --> 00:57:11,372
- This is the life
- 814
- 00:57:11,539 --> 00:57:16,711
- - This is my
- - Well, the results of the
- Dylan-Dylan contest are in.
- 815
- 00:57:16,878 --> 00:57:18,838
- - Life
- - The winners are--
- 816
- 00:57:18,963 --> 00:57:22,842
- - That's me. Right here.
- - Sit down. I am Bob Dylan. Sit down.
- 817
- 00:57:23,009 --> 00:57:25,970
- - Yo, shh! Shh!
- - Sorry, Miss Johnson.
- 818
- 00:57:26,137 --> 00:57:28,431
- - Shh.
- - Shh.
- 819
- 00:57:30,266 --> 00:57:33,102
- Raul, Durrell and Callie!
- 820
- 00:57:38,232 --> 00:57:40,193
- - Congratulations.
- - Thanks.
- 821
- 00:57:40,318 --> 00:57:43,446
- - Here's your certificate.
- - Hey!
- - Congratulations.
- 822
- 00:57:44,655 --> 00:57:46,532
- Congratulations, Callie.
- 823
- 00:57:46,657 --> 00:57:49,077
- Okay!
- 824
- 00:57:49,202 --> 00:57:52,038
- But there are no losers in this class.
- You guys did great.
- 825
- 00:57:52,205 --> 00:57:54,499
- You all get to pick a prize
- from the box.
- 826
- 00:57:54,624 --> 00:57:57,877
- How come they get a prize
- when they got the wrong answer?
- 827
- 00:57:58,044 --> 00:58:01,547
- Well, because sometimes
- it takes a lot of wrong answers
- to get to the right one.
- 828
- 00:58:01,714 --> 00:58:04,967
- Hey, everyone can't be right,
- 'cept for us!
- 829
- 00:58:07,512 --> 00:58:09,430
- Come on up.
- 830
- 00:58:17,647 --> 00:58:20,024
- - Miss Johnson?
- - Hey, Callie.
- 831
- 00:58:20,149 --> 00:58:23,861
- - Um, I wanted to talk to you
- about the restaurant.
- - Uh-huh.
- 832
- 00:58:24,028 --> 00:58:26,406
- - I can't go.
- - Why?
- 833
- 00:58:26,572 --> 00:58:29,492
- Because I have to work at this
- supermarket every night until
- June and I already told them--
- 834
- 00:58:29,659 --> 00:58:31,494
- Oh, isn't there any way
- to get out of it?
- 835
- 00:58:31,619 --> 00:58:35,206
- No. Because of the schedule
- and everything, I have to do it.
- 836
- 00:58:35,373 --> 00:58:39,252
- - But thank you anyway.
- - Well, o-okay. Well.
- 837
- 00:58:39,377 --> 00:58:41,921
- Shoot.
- 838
- 00:58:42,046 --> 00:58:46,592
- Well, no, it's okay. lf you
- can't come to dinner, then, uh,
- well, we'll bring dinner to you.
- 839
- 00:58:46,717 --> 00:58:50,346
- - Really?
- - Mm-hmm.
- 840
- 00:58:50,513 --> 00:58:53,349
- - Thank you.
- - I'm taking orders, Miss Roberts.
- 841
- 00:59:03,025 --> 00:59:04,777
- I couldn't find
- a parking space.
- 842
- 00:59:04,902 --> 00:59:06,779
- lt's okay.
- I just got here myself.
- 843
- 00:59:06,904 --> 00:59:09,449
- - Oh, you look very handsome.
- - How 'bout this jacket?
- 844
- 00:59:09,574 --> 00:59:11,451
- lt's fantastic.
- 845
- 00:59:11,576 --> 00:59:13,578
- Go ahead, touch it.
- lt's real leather.
- 846
- 00:59:13,703 --> 00:59:16,456
- - Ooh!
- - Hey, where's Callie?
- 847
- 00:59:16,622 --> 00:59:18,833
- Oh, she had to work.
- Where's Durrell?
- 848
- 00:59:18,958 --> 00:59:22,545
- - Oh, he had to work too.
- - Oh.
- 849
- 00:59:22,670 --> 00:59:26,299
- Well, I guess it's just
- you and me, handsome.
- 850
- 00:59:26,466 --> 00:59:28,301
- I guess so.
- 851
- 00:59:29,719 --> 00:59:32,221
- Oh. Ladies first.
- 852
- 00:59:32,388 --> 00:59:34,223
- Thank you.
- 853
- 00:59:41,397 --> 00:59:44,066
- - Hey, are you sure they got chicken?
- - Mm-hmm.
- 854
- 00:59:48,404 --> 00:59:51,282
- May I tell you a little
- about this evening's specials?
- 855
- 00:59:51,407 --> 00:59:56,829
- The chef is featuring foie gras
- with smoked duck and figs
- on a hill of bulgar.
- 856
- 00:59:56,954 --> 01:00:00,416
- Uh, salmon tartar
- in potato gaufrette...
- 857
- 01:00:00,583 --> 01:00:03,377
- over wild mushrooms,
- and fennel salad.
- 858
- 01:00:03,544 --> 01:00:05,755
- Uh, for the entree
- we're featuring...
- 859
- 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,675
- a complex shellfish
- pan roast with orso,
- 860
- 01:00:09,842 --> 01:00:13,638
- a touch of comfit and a broth
- thickened with lobster shell oil.
- 861
- 01:00:13,763 --> 01:00:16,724
- All very, very good.
- 862
- 01:00:19,393 --> 01:00:21,562
- - Could we have a few minutes, please?
- - Ah, yes.
- 863
- 01:00:21,729 --> 01:00:24,023
- Thank you.
- 864
- 01:00:24,148 --> 01:00:26,359
- - Are you sure they got chicken?
- - Yes.
- 865
- 01:00:26,526 --> 01:00:29,362
- Here. See, it's right there,
- sweetie. You see? Poulet.
- 866
- 01:00:29,529 --> 01:00:34,784
- And when the waiter comes back,
- you may as well talk to him.
- 867
- 01:00:34,951 --> 01:00:38,204
- lt'll be good practice
- for your summer job interviews.
- 868
- 01:00:38,329 --> 01:00:41,040
- I can't talk to that guy. He probably
- thinks I'm weird or something.
- 869
- 01:00:41,165 --> 01:00:45,545
- He does not. He can't help
- but notice your natural charm.
- 870
- 01:00:45,711 --> 01:00:49,507
- You just look him straight
- in the eye and you talk to him
- like you would anyone else.
- 871
- 01:00:50,716 --> 01:00:52,427
- Now, go ahead and call him over.
- 872
- 01:00:55,304 --> 01:00:59,308
- Go ahead. Just give him
- a little nod.
- 873
- 01:01:05,022 --> 01:01:08,526
- - Are we ready?
- - Okay, I'll have the chicken.
- 874
- 01:01:10,653 --> 01:01:12,530
- A whole one.
- 875
- 01:01:15,575 --> 01:01:17,952
- And I'll have the same.
- 876
- 01:01:18,119 --> 01:01:20,997
- And one to go, please.
- 877
- 01:01:21,164 --> 01:01:24,292
- One to go. Thank you.
- 878
- 01:01:41,684 --> 01:01:43,311
- Hey, Miss J?
- 879
- 01:01:43,436 --> 01:01:48,399
- I was wondering maybe, like,
- in the next couple of days, if I--
- 880
- 01:01:48,524 --> 01:01:52,070
- - ls everything all right?
- - Everything's fine. Thank you.
- 881
- 01:01:52,195 --> 01:01:54,280
- All right.
- 882
- 01:01:54,405 --> 01:01:56,783
- Now don't be mad or nothing,
- but I gotta be absent...
- 883
- 01:01:56,908 --> 01:01:59,535
- for a couple of days
- without your coming to my house.
- 884
- 01:01:59,660 --> 01:02:02,455
- lt's important.
- 885
- 01:02:02,580 --> 01:02:06,125
- - You'll have to tell me why.
- - I got some shit to do.
- 886
- 01:02:10,088 --> 01:02:12,131
- I gotta make some money
- to pay back this guy.
- 887
- 01:02:16,594 --> 01:02:19,263
- This doesn't sound important
- enough to cut school.
- 888
- 01:02:19,347 --> 01:02:22,183
- lt is. I gotta pay
- for this jacket.
- 889
- 01:02:22,350 --> 01:02:24,644
- See, I got it off the street
- from this guy for 200 dollars,
- 890
- 01:02:24,811 --> 01:02:26,646
- and he said he'd trust me
- for it until Friday.
- 891
- 01:02:26,771 --> 01:02:29,816
- Why did you buy it on the street
- instead of in a store?
- 892
- 01:02:29,982 --> 01:02:32,902
- Are you crazy? You know how much
- this would cost in a store?
- 893
- 01:02:33,027 --> 01:02:37,073
- I needed a nice jacket and fast,
- and I got it from this guy
- 'cause he cut me a deal...
- 894
- 01:02:37,198 --> 01:02:41,702
- 'cause he stole it,
- probably.
- 895
- 01:02:41,828 --> 01:02:46,541
- So, are you gonna go out and get
- a job or are you gonna go out
- and steal too to pay him back?
- 896
- 01:02:46,707 --> 01:02:49,168
- Miss J, I gotta pay him back.
- 897
- 01:02:49,335 --> 01:02:51,504
- He'll kill me.
- 898
- 01:02:52,672 --> 01:02:54,632
- I didn't have nothing to wear!
- 899
- 01:03:04,058 --> 01:03:07,228
- Fine. I'll lend it to you.
- 900
- 01:03:09,439 --> 01:03:11,983
- I can't take your money.
- Teachers are poor. Everyone knows that.
- 901
- 01:03:13,651 --> 01:03:16,070
- Well, you don't really
- have a choice, do you?
- 902
- 01:03:16,195 --> 01:03:18,614
- lf you don't pay the guy back,
- he'll kill you.
- 903
- 01:03:18,740 --> 01:03:22,535
- lf you cut school, I'll tell
- your father and he'll kill you.
- 904
- 01:03:22,702 --> 01:03:27,290
- - So I'm your only way out.
- - Oh, man.
- 905
- 01:03:27,457 --> 01:03:30,668
- - But I do have one condition.
- - Big?
- 906
- 01:03:30,793 --> 01:03:32,837
- - Huge.
- - What do you want, interest?
- 907
- 01:03:32,962 --> 01:03:36,257
- - Mm-mmm. Bigger.
- - Jesus Christ, what is it?
- 908
- 01:03:37,467 --> 01:03:40,303
- Well.
- 909
- 01:03:40,470 --> 01:03:43,556
- - Would you like dessert?
- - No!
- 910
- 01:03:43,723 --> 01:03:46,642
- - Another glass of wine?
- - Oh, no, I'm fine. Thank you.
- 911
- 01:03:46,809 --> 01:03:49,645
- - Coffee, perhaps?
- - Hey, man, we're talking!
- 912
- 01:03:53,399 --> 01:03:55,985
- So, what's the condition?
- 913
- 01:03:58,279 --> 01:04:01,908
- You have to pay me back
- on the day you graduate.
- 914
- 01:04:04,327 --> 01:04:06,704
- But-- But what if
- I don't graduate?
- 915
- 01:04:06,829 --> 01:04:10,291
- Well, then you'll never
- pay me back the money.
- 916
- 01:04:10,416 --> 01:04:13,961
- But I know that
- if you say you will,
- 917
- 01:04:14,087 --> 01:04:16,798
- you'll kill yourself
- keeping your word.
- 918
- 01:04:37,527 --> 01:04:40,780
- Well, what do you say?
- 919
- 01:04:40,947 --> 01:04:45,118
- I don't get it. Why do you
- care so much if I graduate?
- 920
- 01:04:45,243 --> 01:04:47,495
- Weird, isn't it?
- 921
- 01:04:53,251 --> 01:04:55,294
- All right, I'll pay you back.
- 922
- 01:04:59,132 --> 01:05:01,968
- - You have my word.
- - Hey.
- 923
- 01:05:02,093 --> 01:05:04,804
- lt is a very nice jacket.
- 924
- 01:05:07,014 --> 01:05:09,475
- Thank you.
- 925
- 01:05:28,995 --> 01:05:30,830
- - Hey.
- - Oh, hi!
- - Hi.
- 926
- 01:05:30,997 --> 01:05:33,332
- - How you doin'?
- - Oh, good.
- 927
- 01:05:33,499 --> 01:05:36,961
- I think this is the first time I ever
- brought food into a supermarket.
- 928
- 01:05:37,128 --> 01:05:40,506
- -Yeah, I can smell it from here.
- -Yeah.
- -Good. Thanks.
- 929
- 01:05:40,631 --> 01:05:43,843
- Well, Raul says if you don't like it,
- he'll take it off your hands.
- 930
- 01:05:44,010 --> 01:05:47,430
- Oh, please.
- Like hell he will.
- 931
- 01:05:47,597 --> 01:05:50,433
- Callie, could you help load
- in aisle three, please?
- 932
- 01:05:50,558 --> 01:05:55,480
- Be right there. I'm telling you,
- this place would fall to pieces
- if it wasn't for me.
- 933
- 01:05:55,605 --> 01:05:58,816
- You know, Callie,
- 934
- 01:05:58,941 --> 01:06:00,818
- just between you and me,
- 935
- 01:06:00,943 --> 01:06:06,199
- with your scores, I think you should
- consider going into Advanced English.
- 936
- 01:06:06,365 --> 01:06:10,078
- - Oh, but I'm gonna be at Clearview.
- You didn't know?
- - No.
- 937
- 01:06:10,203 --> 01:06:13,748
- You didn't see my record?
- I tell you.
- 938
- 01:06:13,873 --> 01:06:15,750
- No, I-- I didn't know.
- 939
- 01:06:15,917 --> 01:06:18,628
- - Bye now.
- - Yeah.
- 940
- 01:06:21,005 --> 01:06:23,674
- ln the middle of a semester?
- Are-- Are you moving?
- 941
- 01:06:23,758 --> 01:06:26,135
- No. I'm pregnant.
- 942
- 01:06:26,302 --> 01:06:29,806
- And since I'm startin' to show,
- they thought it was time, you know?
- 943
- 01:06:32,433 --> 01:06:37,563
- - Who thought it was time?
- - The school. They don't let you
- stay there if you're pregnant.
- 944
- 01:06:37,730 --> 01:06:41,150
- But they told me they have this
- really good programme at Clearview
- for, like, teenage mothers.
- 945
- 01:06:41,317 --> 01:06:45,238
- And they teach you stuff like parenting
- and nutrition, all kinds of stuff.
- 946
- 01:06:45,363 --> 01:06:47,907
- So I thought it would
- be good for me, you know?
- 947
- 01:06:48,074 --> 01:06:50,326
- - Yeah.
- - Aisle three.
- 948
- 01:06:51,953 --> 01:06:55,456
- "Degrade first the arts
- if you'd mankind degrade."
- 949
- 01:06:55,581 --> 01:06:58,876
- Hey, that's the spray can poem.
- 950
- 01:07:02,046 --> 01:07:05,716
- -Hey, hey, what's the code word?
- -The code word is "great rides
- and great prizes."
- 951
- 01:07:05,883 --> 01:07:08,594
- I'm keeping it undercover
- But comin' soon, I surmises
- 952
- 01:07:10,972 --> 01:07:13,975
- Does anybody know where, um,
- Durrell and Lionel are today?
- 953
- 01:07:16,018 --> 01:07:19,772
- - Durrell and Lionel.
- - No.
- - They around.
- 954
- 01:07:19,939 --> 01:07:24,110
- Yeah, so what's the prize we're
- gonna get for learning this poem?
- 955
- 01:07:24,235 --> 01:07:27,864
- Learning is the prize.
- 956
- 01:07:27,989 --> 01:07:29,866
- Yeah.
- 957
- 01:07:29,991 --> 01:07:33,077
- Knowing how to read something
- and understand it is the prize.
- 958
- 01:07:33,202 --> 01:07:36,456
- Okay? Knowing how to think
- is the prize.
- 959
- 01:07:36,622 --> 01:07:39,959
- - I know how to think right now.
- - Okay. Well, yeah, well,
- you know how to run too.
- 960
- 01:07:40,084 --> 01:07:42,420
- But not the way you
- could run if you trained.
- 961
- 01:07:42,545 --> 01:07:45,423
- You know, the mind
- is like a muscle.
- 962
- 01:07:45,590 --> 01:07:49,510
- Okay? And if you want it to be really
- powerful, you got to work it out. Okay?
- 963
- 01:07:49,677 --> 01:07:54,348
- Each new fact
- gives you another choice.
- 964
- 01:07:54,474 --> 01:07:58,227
- Each new idea builds
- another muscle, okay?
- 965
- 01:07:58,352 --> 01:08:01,397
- And it's those muscles that are
- gonna make you really strong.
- 966
- 01:08:01,564 --> 01:08:05,568
- Those are your weapons,
- and in this unsafe world...
- 967
- 01:08:05,735 --> 01:08:07,945
- I want to arm you.
- 968
- 01:08:08,071 --> 01:08:11,824
- - And that's what these poems
- are supposed to do?
- - Yeah.
- 969
- 01:08:11,991 --> 01:08:14,494
- Hey, try it. You're just
- sittin' here anyway.
- 970
- 01:08:14,660 --> 01:08:17,497
- Look. Okay.
- lf at the end of the term,
- 971
- 01:08:17,622 --> 01:08:20,708
- you're not faster, stronger
- and smarter,
- 972
- 01:08:20,875 --> 01:08:23,836
- you will have lost nothing.
- 973
- 01:08:24,003 --> 01:08:27,173
- But if you are,
- 974
- 01:08:27,340 --> 01:08:32,261
- you'll be that much tougher
- to knock down.
- 975
- 01:08:32,428 --> 01:08:37,975
- So what's "Hire idiots to paint
- with cold light and hot shade"?
- 976
- 01:08:39,268 --> 01:08:40,978
- They're being sarcastic, Raul.
- 977
- 01:08:41,104 --> 01:08:43,523
- I mean, 'cause you know that light
- is supposed to be warm, right?
- 978
- 01:08:43,648 --> 01:08:45,775
- - And shade is supposed to be what?
- - Cold?
- 979
- 01:08:45,942 --> 01:08:49,779
- Exactly. But if you go
- and hire an idiot to do the job,
- he's gonna do it backwards.
- 980
- 01:08:49,904 --> 01:08:52,156
- - Hello.
- - There you go.
- - Hmm.
- 981
- 01:08:53,699 --> 01:08:56,369
- Don't make a big fuss
- about this, Louanne.
- 982
- 01:08:56,536 --> 01:08:59,747
- You have to help me. You have
- no idea how bright this girl is.
- 983
- 01:08:59,872 --> 01:09:02,834
- Yes, I do. And there's nothing
- I can do about it.
- 984
- 01:09:02,959 --> 01:09:06,462
- Oh! That just makes me crazy!
- 985
- 01:09:06,587 --> 01:09:10,049
- What right do these miserable,
- self-righteous sons of bitches
- from the Board of Education...
- 986
- 01:09:10,174 --> 01:09:13,261
- have to make a moral judgment
- on Callie Roberts?
- 987
- 01:09:13,386 --> 01:09:15,471
- - Do you know--
- - Louanne, there are parents
- in the next room.
- 988
- 01:09:15,638 --> 01:09:17,807
- Look, I don't c--
- I'm gonna fight this ruling.
- 989
- 01:09:17,932 --> 01:09:21,686
- I'm gonna write an open letter
- to every newspaper condemning
- the entire School Board.
- 990
- 01:09:21,853 --> 01:09:24,105
- - Oh, you can't do that.
- - Why not?
- 991
- 01:09:24,230 --> 01:09:28,109
- Well, first of all, the Board
- has nothing to do with it.
- 992
- 01:09:30,403 --> 01:09:34,449
- We prefer that these girls go to
- the mother-to-be programme at Clearview.
- 993
- 01:09:38,244 --> 01:09:40,538
- Oh, wait a minute.
- 994
- 01:09:40,705 --> 01:09:44,500
- You mean this isn't a rule?
- You mean this is your preference?
- 995
- 01:09:46,002 --> 01:09:47,920
- Well, yes.
- 996
- 01:09:48,087 --> 01:09:52,216
- You mean Callie Roberts is free
- to go to any school she wants?
- 997
- 01:09:52,341 --> 01:09:56,846
- - lncluding this one?
- - Unless she's absent
- for more than 30 days.
- 998
- 01:09:57,013 --> 01:09:59,557
- And then she has to wait
- until the baby's born
- before she can come back here.
- 999
- 01:09:59,682 --> 01:10:05,438
- But, Louanne, once these girls
- have babies, very few of them
- come back to school anyway.
- 1000
- 01:10:05,563 --> 01:10:08,024
- I see.
- 1001
- 01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:12,278
- So you make them think
- they have to leave.
- 1002
- 01:10:12,445 --> 01:10:15,656
- You just push 'em out a little earlier,
- make it a little harder,
- 1003
- 01:10:15,782 --> 01:10:17,950
- make it a little more hopeless.
- 1004
- 01:10:18,076 --> 01:10:20,328
- I do what I have to do...
- 1005
- 01:10:20,453 --> 01:10:23,456
- because it is dangerous to have
- a pregnant girl in a classroom.
- 1006
- 01:10:23,581 --> 01:10:28,294
- lt's not a warning, Louanne. I-lt's
- prestige, it's stardom, it's attention.
- 1007
- 01:10:28,419 --> 01:10:30,671
- You know, not all these girls
- become pregnant by accident.
- 1008
- 01:10:30,838 --> 01:10:33,966
- - Pregnancy is contagious.
- - Yep, yep
- 1009
- 01:10:34,092 --> 01:10:35,968
- - lt's all right
- - lt's all right
- 1010
- 01:10:36,094 --> 01:10:38,513
- As you may have heard
- 1011
- 01:10:38,679 --> 01:10:41,474
- - Yeah
- - To smoke a fat one
- - To smoke a fat one
- 1012
- 01:10:41,641 --> 01:10:44,143
- - And drink a 'Bird
- - Drink a Thunderbird
- 1013
- 01:10:44,310 --> 01:10:46,479
- - lt's okay
- - lt's okay
- 1014
- 01:10:46,604 --> 01:10:49,482
- - To play this loud
- - Play it loud
- 1015
- 01:10:49,649 --> 01:10:53,569
- Mister DJ, don't mean
- to sweat you down
- 1016
- 01:10:53,736 --> 01:10:55,655
- Who is it?
- 1017
- 01:10:55,822 --> 01:10:59,075
- lt's Louanne Johnson,
- Callie's second period teacher.
- 1018
- 01:11:03,496 --> 01:11:05,665
- Hi.
- 1019
- 01:11:05,832 --> 01:11:09,001
- Um, Callie's getting ready
- to go to work.
- 1020
- 01:11:09,127 --> 01:11:10,878
- - Come on in.
- - Thank you.
- 1021
- 01:11:11,045 --> 01:11:13,548
- Curiosity killed the cat
- 1022
- 01:11:13,714 --> 01:11:15,508
- - Oh.
- - Hi.
- - Hi, there.
- 1023
- 01:11:15,633 --> 01:11:18,761
- - What you doing?
- - Watching TV.
- 1024
- 01:11:20,596 --> 01:11:23,724
- - What's your name?
- - Tyeisha.
- 1025
- 01:11:23,850 --> 01:11:27,103
- - Oh, that's a pretty name.
- - She just love her TV.
- 1026
- 01:11:27,270 --> 01:11:30,815
- Why ain't you in bed?
- Come here, baby.
- 1027
- 01:11:30,940 --> 01:11:34,360
- Callie? Honey?
- Your teacher's here.
- 1028
- 01:11:39,198 --> 01:11:42,201
- - Hi.
- - Hi.
- 1029
- 01:11:42,326 --> 01:11:45,705
- I'm sorry to just bust in
- on you like this, but I have
- the most wonderful news...
- 1030
- 01:11:45,830 --> 01:11:48,666
- and I wanted to come
- tell you personally.
- 1031
- 01:11:48,791 --> 01:11:51,919
- You do not have to go
- to Clearview.
- 1032
- 01:11:52,044 --> 01:11:57,300
- There is nothing in the rules that says
- you can't stay exactly where you are.
- 1033
- 01:11:57,467 --> 01:11:59,343
- But, uh, she already
- enrolled in Clearview.
- 1034
- 01:11:59,469 --> 01:12:02,597
- Uh, well, that's all right. She-- that--
- But she doesn't have to go there.
- 1035
- 01:12:02,764 --> 01:12:06,309
- Yeah, but Kimboley wants me
- to take the mother-to-be programme
- at Clearview, you know.
- 1036
- 01:12:06,434 --> 01:12:09,812
- He thought it would be a good
- idea if I learned how to take
- care of the baby and stuff.
- 1037
- 01:12:12,106 --> 01:12:14,984
- I don't understand.
- 1038
- 01:12:15,109 --> 01:12:18,738
- Do you not want to stay
- at Parkmont?
- 1039
- 01:12:18,863 --> 01:12:22,241
- Well, yeah, but I gotta learn how
- to take care of us, you know.
- 1040
- 01:12:22,366 --> 01:12:24,827
- I mean, we're getting our own
- place and everything, so--
- 1041
- 01:12:28,456 --> 01:12:31,584
- Callie, just don't throw away
- all you can become.
- 1042
- 01:12:33,419 --> 01:12:36,672
- Kimboley was so right.
- He was so right.
- 1043
- 01:12:36,798 --> 01:12:39,592
- He told me that you'd probably
- try to talk me out of this.
- 1044
- 01:12:39,717 --> 01:12:41,636
- You want to know
- what else he said?
- 1045
- 01:12:41,761 --> 01:12:44,388
- He said that you probably
- don't even like men...
- 1046
- 01:12:44,555 --> 01:12:47,225
- and that you're probably not married
- and you don't want anybody else to be.
- 1047
- 01:12:47,350 --> 01:12:50,436
- That's why you're always
- in everybody else's life.
- 1048
- 01:12:54,315 --> 01:12:57,860
- Look, I'm not saying
- that I agree with him, okay?
- 1049
- 01:12:58,027 --> 01:13:00,905
- Well, Kimboley's wrong.
- 1050
- 01:13:01,072 --> 01:13:03,449
- I was married...
- 1051
- 01:13:03,616 --> 01:13:05,451
- and I was pregnant.
- 1052
- 01:13:08,079 --> 01:13:10,665
- So what happened?
- 1053
- 01:13:12,625 --> 01:13:15,253
- We got divorced...
- 1054
- 01:13:15,378 --> 01:13:18,464
- and I had an abortion.
- 1055
- 01:13:22,135 --> 01:13:24,137
- He beat me.
- 1056
- 01:13:26,931 --> 01:13:30,268
- Well, sometimes
- you start out wrong...
- 1057
- 01:13:30,435 --> 01:13:33,479
- and just keep going.
- 1058
- 01:13:47,535 --> 01:13:50,079
- Hey, don't touch me.
- Oh, get outta here!
- 1059
- 01:13:51,831 --> 01:13:54,876
- I'll see you.
- 1060
- 01:13:55,001 --> 01:13:57,587
- You took something that
- fuckin' belonged to me, ése.
- 1061
- 01:13:57,754 --> 01:14:00,715
- Man, she came to me
- with open arms.
- 1062
- 01:14:00,882 --> 01:14:03,259
- Besides, you gotta have
- one of these.
- 1063
- 01:14:05,344 --> 01:14:07,221
- You're dead.
- 1064
- 01:14:19,776 --> 01:14:22,612
- As I walk through the valley
- of the shadow of death
- 1065
- 01:14:22,779 --> 01:14:25,948
- I take a look at my life
- and realize there's nothing left
- 1066
- 01:14:26,074 --> 01:14:28,618
- 'Cause I've been blastin'
- and laughin' so long
- 1067
- 01:14:28,785 --> 01:14:31,913
- That even my mama thinks
- that my mind is gone
- 1068
- 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,707
- I really hate to trip
- but I gotta loc
- 1069
- 01:14:34,832 --> 01:14:37,293
- As they croak I see myself
- in the pistol smoke
- 1070
- 01:14:37,460 --> 01:14:41,172
- Fool, I'm the kind of "G"
- the little homies wanna be like
- 1071
- 01:14:41,339 --> 01:14:44,383
- On my knees in the night
- sayin' prayers in the street light
- 1072
- 01:14:44,550 --> 01:14:49,889
- Been spendin' most their lives
- livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- 1073
- 01:14:50,014 --> 01:14:52,058
- - Hey, Miss Johnson.
- - Hey!
- - Been spendin' most their lives
- 1074
- 01:14:52,183 --> 01:14:55,645
- - Haven't seen you guys in a week.
- - Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- 1075
- 01:14:55,812 --> 01:14:58,397
- Thought maybe you got lost
- on your way to class.
- 1076
- 01:14:58,523 --> 01:15:00,608
- I wanted to help you
- find your way back.
- 1077
- 01:15:00,733 --> 01:15:03,444
- Get on inside.
- 1078
- 01:15:03,569 --> 01:15:06,406
- Clean up that pigsty of a room.
- 1079
- 01:15:11,702 --> 01:15:14,580
- Hi. I'm Louanne Johnson.
- I'm the boys' teacher.
- 1080
- 01:15:14,747 --> 01:15:16,582
- I know who you are.
- 1081
- 01:15:16,749 --> 01:15:20,294
- You're that white-bread bitch
- messin' with my babies' minds.
- 1082
- 01:15:20,420 --> 01:15:22,296
- I beg your pardon?
- 1083
- 01:15:22,422 --> 01:15:25,550
- My boys don't go to your school
- no more, and that's gonna be it.
- 1084
- 01:15:27,343 --> 01:15:29,804
- - You took 'em out of school?
- - You're damn right I did.
- 1085
- 01:15:29,929 --> 01:15:33,766
- I saw what they were bringing
- home-- poetry and shit.
- 1086
- 01:15:33,891 --> 01:15:38,688
- A waste of time. They got
- more important things to worry about.
- 1087
- 01:15:41,274 --> 01:15:45,153
- Don't you think that finishing high
- school will be valuable to their future?
- 1088
- 01:15:45,278 --> 01:15:47,280
- That's not in their future.
- 1089
- 01:15:47,405 --> 01:15:51,284
- I ain't raising no doctors and lawyers
- here. They got bills to pay.
- 1090
- 01:15:51,451 --> 01:15:53,578
- Why don't you just
- get on outta here.
- 1091
- 01:15:53,703 --> 01:15:57,707
- Go find yourself some other
- poor boys to save.
- 1092
- 01:16:11,304 --> 01:16:14,140
- Mama! I could stand
- some lemonade.
- 1093
- 01:16:20,229 --> 01:16:24,275
- "lt is easier
- to forgive an enemy...
- 1094
- 01:16:24,442 --> 01:16:27,028
- than to forgive a friend.
- 1095
- 01:16:27,153 --> 01:16:31,115
- The man who permits you
- to injure him...
- 1096
- 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,993
- deserves your vengeance.
- 1097
- 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,538
- He also will receive it."
- 1098
- 01:16:37,663 --> 01:16:40,458
- Wow, who wrote that?
- Some Mafia guy?
- 1099
- 01:16:40,583 --> 01:16:42,460
- You know, let's go on
- with this poem tomorrow.
- 1100
- 01:16:42,627 --> 01:16:44,879
- Why don't you-- Take out your work
- sheets and do the vocabulary drill.
- 1101
- 01:16:45,004 --> 01:16:48,382
- - Say what?
- - Oh, man!
- - Man, I don't wanna do no vocabulary.
- 1102
- 01:16:48,549 --> 01:16:50,718
- I don't wanna do
- no damn vocabulary.
- 1103
- 01:16:50,885 --> 01:16:53,054
- Then don't.
- 1104
- 01:16:53,179 --> 01:16:56,641
- What do you mean?
- You mean I have a choice?
- 1105
- 01:16:56,808 --> 01:17:00,561
- You're not gonna let me get away with
- not learnin' my vocabulary, right?
- 1106
- 01:17:04,023 --> 01:17:07,443
- That's right. You have to do
- your vocabulary.
- 1107
- 01:17:07,610 --> 01:17:10,279
- Words are thoughts
- and we can't think without 'em.
- 1108
- 01:17:10,405 --> 01:17:13,825
- So-- Please?
- 1109
- 01:17:13,950 --> 01:17:17,620
- And so let's just do it, man. She's
- gonna be down our back in a minute.
- 1110
- 01:17:17,787 --> 01:17:21,124
- - Whatever. She's grouchy.
- - Grouch.
- 1111
- 01:17:21,249 --> 01:17:23,960
- - Thanks, Louanne.
- - Grouch, grouch.
- 1112
- 01:17:24,127 --> 01:17:27,296
- Thank you, Louanne.
- Such a nice lady, Louanne.
- 1113
- 01:17:29,674 --> 01:17:32,885
- What do I do?
- What the fuck you want from me?
- 1114
- 01:17:33,010 --> 01:17:35,805
- Who, my teacher? You think
- I'm gonna fuckin' talk to a teacher?
- 1115
- 01:17:35,930 --> 01:17:38,433
- Like they're gonna
- really help me, huh? Huh?
- 1116
- 01:17:38,599 --> 01:17:41,686
- Teachers aren't gonna
- fuckin' help me, okay?
- 1117
- 01:17:41,853 --> 01:17:45,731
- Miss Johnson! Miss Johnson,
- we gotta talk to you.
- 1118
- 01:17:45,898 --> 01:17:48,860
- - There's nothing to talk about, Angela!
- - What, are you Superman?
- 1119
- 01:17:49,026 --> 01:17:52,029
- ls your ass bulletproof?
- ls that what you think? Tell her!
- 1120
- 01:17:52,196 --> 01:17:54,824
- - Tell her what you're gonna do.
- - What is it?
- 1121
- 01:17:54,949 --> 01:17:57,869
- - He's strapped.
- - Shut the fuck up!
- She don't need to know my business.
- 1122
- 01:17:57,994 --> 01:18:00,872
- ls your business dying? No!
- 1123
- 01:18:00,997 --> 01:18:03,916
- There's this crackhead named Shorty.
- He just came out of jail.
- 1124
- 01:18:04,041 --> 01:18:06,502
- He says that I'm his girl and
- that Emilio took me from him.
- 1125
- 01:18:06,669 --> 01:18:09,088
- And now he wants to kill Emilio.
- 1126
- 01:18:11,090 --> 01:18:14,302
- Emilio, if this boy is threatening you,
- we can go to the police.
- 1127
- 01:18:14,427 --> 01:18:16,721
- Look, this is nothing you
- can do anything about.
- 1128
- 01:18:16,846 --> 01:18:19,599
- This guy is looking for me to kill me,
- and the only way for me to stop him...
- 1129
- 01:18:19,724 --> 01:18:22,226
- is for me to kill him first.
- 1130
- 01:18:22,393 --> 01:18:24,687
- That's just the way it is,
- all right?
- 1131
- 01:18:24,812 --> 01:18:28,191
- Wait, Emilio, wait, wait, wait, wait,
- no! Can we-- Can we talk about this?
- 1132
- 01:18:28,316 --> 01:18:31,027
- - Come to my house.
- - Yeah, right.
- 1133
- 01:18:31,110 --> 01:18:33,321
- Oh, what?
- You're too proud to hide?
- 1134
- 01:18:33,446 --> 01:18:36,657
- lt's better to wander
- the streets all night?
- 1135
- 01:18:36,824 --> 01:18:39,786
- - Come on.
- - Please?
- 1136
- 01:18:39,952 --> 01:18:41,788
- Please, just go.
- 1137
- 01:18:45,458 --> 01:18:48,461
- Go. Go.
- 1138
- 01:18:50,421 --> 01:18:52,882
- - Can we drop you?
- - Just go.
- 1139
- 01:19:09,065 --> 01:19:11,651
- ls this boy your age?
- 1140
- 01:19:14,737 --> 01:19:18,074
- - Yeah.
- - Does he go to Parkmont?
- 1141
- 01:19:18,199 --> 01:19:21,077
- I won't tell you who it is.
- 1142
- 01:19:21,202 --> 01:19:23,079
- No, don't.
- 1143
- 01:19:25,289 --> 01:19:28,251
- But if you tell Mr Grandey
- about him--
- 1144
- 01:19:28,418 --> 01:19:33,756
- not about his threatening you,
- but about his being on crack--
- 1145
- 01:19:33,881 --> 01:19:38,386
- he'll be turned over to the juvenile
- court for-- for drug abuse in school.
- 1146
- 01:19:38,553 --> 01:19:40,888
- H-He won't serve hard time,
- 1147
- 01:19:41,013 --> 01:19:45,268
- but by the time he gets out and
- he's detoxed, he-- he will have
- gotten over trying to kill you.
- 1148
- 01:19:52,483 --> 01:19:54,360
- No, I can't rat on him.
- 1149
- 01:19:54,485 --> 01:19:57,488
- Right. Kill him.
- That's better.
- 1150
- 01:19:59,031 --> 01:20:01,617
- Man,
- 1151
- 01:20:01,784 --> 01:20:03,619
- you don't understand.
- 1152
- 01:20:06,998 --> 01:20:11,794
- You asked me once how I was
- gonna save you from your life.
- 1153
- 01:20:11,961 --> 01:20:14,547
- This is how. This moment.
- 1154
- 01:20:16,215 --> 01:20:18,968
- Right now.
- 1155
- 01:20:19,135 --> 01:20:21,512
- This will make the difference
- in your life forever.
- 1156
- 01:20:52,001 --> 01:20:53,878
- Emilio?
- 1157
- 01:21:01,135 --> 01:21:02,970
- Emilio?
- 1158
- 01:21:15,900 --> 01:21:19,695
- - Oh, Mr Grandey.
- - ls there a problem, Miss Johnson?
- 1159
- 01:21:19,862 --> 01:21:21,864
- - Shouldn't you be in class?
- - Yes, I'm late.
- 1160
- 01:21:22,031 --> 01:21:26,744
- Um, I just wanted to ask.
- Did Emilio Ramirez come
- to your office this morning?
- 1161
- 01:21:26,911 --> 01:21:29,455
- - Yes.
- - Oh, God. Oh, thank God.
- 1162
- 01:21:29,580 --> 01:21:32,583
- - Did you talk to him?
- - No, I sent him away.
- 1163
- 01:21:32,708 --> 01:21:34,794
- You-- What do you mean?
- 1164
- 01:21:36,879 --> 01:21:40,758
- - I mean I sent him away.
- - Why?
- 1165
- 01:21:40,883 --> 01:21:43,469
- Because he didn't knock,
- Miss Johnson.
- 1166
- 01:21:43,636 --> 01:21:47,682
- - Here we are.
- - Because he didn't knock?
- 1167
- 01:21:47,849 --> 01:21:52,103
- Yes, Miss Johnson. I'm trying to teach
- these children how to live in the world.
- 1168
- 01:21:52,270 --> 01:21:55,481
- And in the world, you just don't
- burst into someone's office.
- 1169
- 01:21:58,359 --> 01:22:01,195
- Because he didn't knock?
- 1170
- 01:22:04,323 --> 01:22:06,534
- Damn it!
- 1171
- 01:22:39,233 --> 01:22:41,110
- Uh, Louanne.
- 1172
- 01:22:42,570 --> 01:22:45,573
- Mr Grandey is with the police.
- 1173
- 01:22:45,698 --> 01:22:47,909
- - Yes?
- - Um.
- 1174
- 01:22:48,034 --> 01:22:51,621
- They just found Emilio Ramirez
- three blocks from the school.
- 1175
- 01:22:51,746 --> 01:22:54,457
- He was shot this morning.
- 1176
- 01:22:56,793 --> 01:22:58,628
- ls he dead?
- 1177
- 01:23:01,672 --> 01:23:05,259
- - He's dead.
- - I'm very sorry.
- 1178
- 01:23:07,053 --> 01:23:09,263
- Um...
- 1179
- 01:23:09,430 --> 01:23:11,474
- are you going to tell them now?
- 1180
- 01:23:14,018 --> 01:23:16,395
- Do you think that's wise?
- 1181
- 01:23:19,398 --> 01:23:21,484
- Yeah.
- 1182
- 01:23:21,651 --> 01:23:25,196
- Well, uh, perhaps if you talk to them
- a little bit about death...
- 1183
- 01:23:25,321 --> 01:23:28,491
- and-- and-- and what it means.
- 1184
- 01:23:29,742 --> 01:23:32,161
- What would you like me to say?
- 1185
- 01:23:32,328 --> 01:23:35,164
- That if you don't want to die,
- remember to knock?
- 1186
- 01:23:36,624 --> 01:23:39,252
- - That's not fair.
- - What is?
- 1187
- 01:23:56,602 --> 01:23:58,896
- Bad news.
- 1188
- 01:24:00,356 --> 01:24:03,443
- Emilio was shot this morning.
- 1189
- 01:24:05,278 --> 01:24:07,822

- - Yes, baby, he's dead.
- - Oh, no.
- 1191
- 01:24:59,373 --> 01:25:04,378
- Yo! Listen up. Miss Johnson
- got something to say!
- 1192
- 01:25:04,504 --> 01:25:07,965
- - Shh.
- - Thank you.
- 1193
- 01:25:08,132 --> 01:25:11,469
- I just want to say...
- 1194
- 01:25:11,594 --> 01:25:14,722

- 01:25:17,058 --> 01:25:20,144
- I will not be here next year.
- 1196
- 01:25:20,269 --> 01:25:22,146
- I'm not coming back.
- 1197
- 01:25:23,773 --> 01:25:26,067
- How come?
- ls it something we did?
- 1198
- 01:25:26,192 --> 01:25:28,945
- No. No, no, no. No. Um--
- 1199
- 01:25:32,031 --> 01:25:34,200
- I-l never intended to stay.
- 1200
- 01:25:34,367 --> 01:25:37,036
- Um, this was an unexpected job.
- 1201
- 01:25:37,203 --> 01:25:41,124
- So if you knew you wasn't
- gonna stay, how come you made me
- promise what I promised?
- 1202
- 01:25:42,708 --> 01:25:44,544
- I--
- 1203
- 01:25:46,587 --> 01:25:49,632
- At that time,
- I thought I would stay.
- 1204
- 01:25:49,799 --> 01:25:51,843
- So how come you're leaving?
- 1205
- 01:25:53,928 --> 01:25:55,763
- I just...
- 1206
- 01:25:57,181 --> 01:25:59,642
- have my reasons,
- certain reasons.
- 1207
- 01:25:59,767 --> 01:26:03,896
- ls it because it's too sad for you,
- what happened to Emilio?
- 1208
- 01:26:18,161 --> 01:26:20,121
- Maybe.
- 1209
- 01:26:20,288 --> 01:26:22,874
- And Durrell and Lionel
- and Callie. And I just--
- 1210
- 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:24,876
- I just think that--
- 1211
- 01:26:29,714 --> 01:26:33,050
- So if you love us so much and you're
- so interested in our graduating,
- 1212
- 01:26:33,176 --> 01:26:36,220
- - how come you choose to leave?
- - Yeah.
- 1213
- 01:26:36,345 --> 01:26:41,184
- You sad about Durrell and Callie
- and Emilio and Lionel, but we're here.
- 1214
- 01:26:41,309 --> 01:26:44,937
- What about us, huh?
- None of us make you feel happy?
- 1215
- 01:26:45,104 --> 01:26:49,692
- We been working hard and we stayed
- in school, man. What about us?
- 1216
- 01:26:49,817 --> 01:26:52,028
- - Yeah.
- - Yeah.
- 1217
- 01:27:07,210 --> 01:27:10,463
- Why are you packing up today
- when tomorrow is your last day?
- 1218
- 01:27:11,672 --> 01:27:13,549
- Oh, just gettin' a head start.
- 1219
- 01:27:15,093 --> 01:27:16,969
- Oh, I see.
- 1220
- 01:27:21,057 --> 01:27:25,561
- What you did, when you
- gave me the 200 dollars?
- 1221
- 01:27:28,272 --> 01:27:33,569
- That was the nicest thing
- anybody ever did for me.
- 1222
- 01:27:33,694 --> 01:27:36,155
- I don't know anybody else
- who would give 200 dollars...
- 1223
- 01:27:36,322 --> 01:27:38,908
- to a Mexican kid
- on his word of honour.
- 1224
- 01:27:44,872 --> 01:27:47,333
- S-So you gotta let me
- pay you back.
- 1225
- 01:27:51,045 --> 01:27:54,173
- Even if I don't graduate,
- all right?
- 1226
- 01:27:54,298 --> 01:27:57,009
- Why wouldn't you graduate?
- 1227
- 01:27:58,719 --> 01:28:01,681
- Ain't no other teacher
- gonna give me no "A."
- 1228
- 01:28:01,806 --> 01:28:04,517
- Yes, they will, if you work for them
- the way you worked for me.
- 1229
- 01:28:04,642 --> 01:28:07,186
- No, but it was different with you.
- You gave me an "A" to start with.
- 1230
- 01:28:07,353 --> 01:28:11,732
- - I didn't have to earn it.
- I just had to keep it.
- - Are you kidding?
- 1231
- 01:28:11,858 --> 01:28:16,404
- Keeping an "A" is harder than getting an
- "A." Almost anyone can get an "A" once.
- 1232
- 01:28:16,571 --> 01:28:19,657
- But keeping it,
- that's an accomplishment.
- 1233
- 01:28:19,824 --> 01:28:22,702
- - You think so?
- - Oh, I know so.
- 1234
- 01:28:22,869 --> 01:28:25,496
- Do you realize the work
- you did this term?
- 1235
- 01:28:25,621 --> 01:28:29,208
- Do you realize that
- the poetry that we read...
- 1236
- 01:28:29,375 --> 01:28:31,335
- is given to people in college?
- 1237
- 01:28:31,502 --> 01:28:33,671
- - ln college.
- - These same poems?
- 1238
- 01:28:33,796 --> 01:28:37,133
- - Yes.
- - But they weren't even so hard.
- 1239
- 01:28:37,258 --> 01:28:39,177
- So, you see?
- 1240
- 01:28:41,345 --> 01:28:43,723
- Keep working.
- 1241
- 01:28:43,890 --> 01:28:46,225
- You'll graduate.
- 1242
- 01:28:49,020 --> 01:28:51,814
- I might even see you
- in college.
- 1243
- 01:28:51,939 --> 01:28:53,816
- What do you think?
- 1244
- 01:29:10,792 --> 01:29:14,128
- I feel so bad about leaving
- I can hardly breathe.
- 1245
- 01:29:14,295 --> 01:29:18,382
- I know, but-- Oh, what the hell.
- You're right.
- 1246
- 01:29:18,549 --> 01:29:23,096
- You gotta be crazy to stay here
- and teach these programme classes.
- 1247
- 01:29:23,221 --> 01:29:25,848
- There's no money.
- lt's killer work.
- 1248
- 01:29:28,309 --> 01:29:30,645
- Why do you stay?
- 1249
- 01:29:30,812 --> 01:29:33,272
- Why do I smoke?
- I'm crazy.
- 1250
- 01:29:33,397 --> 01:29:35,358
- You need any more help?
- 1251
- 01:29:35,483 --> 01:29:37,777
- No. Thanks.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- 1252
- 01:29:37,944 --> 01:29:39,779
- Yeah. Bye.
- 1253
- 01:29:41,656 --> 01:29:44,700
- This is the life
- 1254
- 01:29:44,826 --> 01:29:48,746
- Everyone has to be somewhere
- 1255
- 01:29:51,165 --> 01:29:53,876
- Oh
- 1256
- 01:29:54,043 --> 01:29:59,882
- I am here
- 1257
- 01:30:02,593 --> 01:30:06,764
- This is the life
- 1258
- 01:30:06,889 --> 01:30:09,600
- This is the life
- 1259
- 01:30:10,977 --> 01:30:15,189
- 'Cause this is my life
- 1260
- 01:30:15,314 --> 01:30:20,737
- This is my life
- 1261
- 01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:24,157
- Hi.
- 1262
- 01:30:26,993 --> 01:30:31,122
- Well. Welcome back.
- 1263
- 01:30:31,289 --> 01:30:35,084
- This is the 29th day,
- the last day I have to come back.
- 1264
- 01:30:35,251 --> 01:30:38,379
- So, am I still okay
- for next term?
- 1265
- 01:30:39,630 --> 01:30:41,466
- Yeah.
- 1266
- 01:30:43,384 --> 01:30:45,762
- Did, uh,
- 1267
- 01:30:45,928 --> 01:30:49,849
- did you come back because
- it was your last day or did somebody...
- 1268
- 01:30:50,016 --> 01:30:53,269
- ask you to come today
- to talk me into staying?
- 1269
- 01:30:53,436 --> 01:30:56,189
- Well, it was both, really.
- 1270
- 01:30:56,355 --> 01:31:00,777
- See, 'cause I wasn't really sure
- what I wanted to do...
- 1271
- 01:31:00,902 --> 01:31:03,821
- until I heard that you
- were leaving and--
- 1272
- 01:31:03,946 --> 01:31:06,532
- 'Cause up until then,
- I don't know, I thought...
- 1273
- 01:31:06,699 --> 01:31:10,078
- that you'd always be here
- for me, you know.
- 1274
- 01:31:10,203 --> 01:31:12,371
- You know, whenever I came back.
- 1275
- 01:31:13,956 --> 01:31:16,459
- But then Raul tells me
- that you're leaving...
- 1276
- 01:31:16,584 --> 01:31:18,461
- just like that.
- 1277
- 01:31:22,090 --> 01:31:24,425
- And I realized that this
- was my last chance.
- 1278
- 01:31:26,594 --> 01:31:28,596
- And I decided--
- 1279
- 01:31:29,889 --> 01:31:32,975
- We decided that...
- 1280
- 01:31:33,101 --> 01:31:35,394
- we're not gonna just
- let you leave like that.
- 1281
- 01:31:38,272 --> 01:31:40,817
- Yeah, we realized
- like the poem said:
- 1282
- 01:31:40,983 --> 01:31:43,736
- You can't give in.
- 1283
- 01:31:43,861 --> 01:31:46,072
- "You can't go gentle.
- 1284
- 01:31:46,239 --> 01:31:50,326
- - You got to rage against
- the dying of the light."
- - Yeah.
- 1285
- 01:31:50,493 --> 01:31:52,703
- Yeah, you gotta go for yours.
- You know that, right?
- 1286
- 01:31:52,870 --> 01:31:55,915
- - Yeah.
- - You gotta kick it in and get it up.
- 1287
- 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:59,335
- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
- No, no. Wait, wait. I'm not giving in.
- 1288
- 01:31:59,460 --> 01:32:03,047
- Um, this is my choice.
- 1289
- 01:32:03,214 --> 01:32:06,467
- I have no reason to "rage
- against the dying of the light."
- 1290
- 01:32:06,592 --> 01:32:09,595
- 'Cause you're not the one who's raging.
- We're the ones who are raging.
- 1291
- 01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,014
- See, 'cause we see you
- as being our light.
- 1292
- 01:32:14,225 --> 01:32:18,104
- - What?
- - You're our Tambourine Man.
- 1293
- 01:32:18,229 --> 01:32:23,109
- - Oh, I'm your drug dealer?
- - You got the stuff, Miss J?
- 1294
- 01:32:23,234 --> 01:32:27,280
- You're our teacher. You got
- what we need. lt's the same thing.
- 1295
- 01:32:27,405 --> 01:32:31,242
- Come on, Miss J. All the poems
- you taught us say you can't give in.
- 1296
- 01:32:31,409 --> 01:32:33,661
- You can't give up.
- 1297
- 01:32:33,786 --> 01:32:36,664
- - Well, we ain't giving you up.
- - No way.
- 1298
- 01:32:36,789 --> 01:32:41,210
- Now, listen, baby, we gonna have to
- tie you down to the chair and gag you...
- 1299
- 01:32:41,335 --> 01:32:46,340
- 'cause you know
- we want you to stay.
- 1300
- 01:32:46,466 --> 01:32:51,179
- What you need to stay, girl?
- You want a candy bar?
- 1301
- 01:32:51,304 --> 01:32:55,808
- Okay, on the left and on the right,
- a "Louanne, Louanne." Uh, here we go.
- 1302
- 01:32:55,933 --> 01:32:59,312
- Louanne, Louanne,
- Louanne, Louanne.
- 1303
- 01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:02,899
- - Louanne, Louanne, Louanne, Louanne.
- - Come on!
- 1304
- 01:33:03,024 --> 01:33:07,612
- Louanne, Louanne,
- Louanne, Louanne.
- 1305
- 01:33:12,825 --> 01:33:17,080
- - You have to go first.
- - I don't want to go first.
- - Come on. You have to.
- 1306
- 01:33:17,246 --> 01:33:19,082
- Ready? You go like this. Go.
- 1307
- 01:33:21,584 --> 01:33:23,795
- - lt go like this.
- - This how you do it.

- 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:27,882
- Go, Louanne. Go, Louanne.
- Go, Louanne. Go, Louanne.
- 1309

- Go, Louanne. Go, Louanne.
- Go, Louanne.
- 1310
- 01:33:37,767 --> 01:33:40,520
- Let me see.
- 1311
- 01:33:40,645 --> 01:33:43,606
- - Excuse me.
- - Are you okay?
- - Yeah.
- 1312
- 01:33:46,359 --> 01:33:49,195
- - You want to sign my book?
- - Yeah, I'll sign your book.
- 1313
- 01:34:13,845 --> 01:34:16,556
- How'd they get you
- to come back?
- 1314
- 01:34:16,722 --> 01:34:20,309
- They gave me candy
- and called me "the light."
- 1315
- 01:34:20,476 --> 01:34:22,311
- That'll do it.
- 1316
- 01:34:51,382 --> 01:34:53,801
- I won't do you wrong
- 1317
- 01:34:53,968 --> 01:34:56,262
- I'll do you right
- 1318
- 01:34:56,429 --> 01:35:01,309
- You can roll with me
- for the rest of the night
- 1319
- 01:35:01,476 --> 01:35:05,772
- No need to fuss
- 'cause I don't wanna joke
- 1320
- 01:35:05,897 --> 01:35:09,901
- Baby, sit right here
- and let the chronic smoke
- 1321
- 01:35:10,026 --> 01:35:12,945
- So hang around, love
- 1322
- 01:35:13,112 --> 01:35:15,907
- And give it up
- 1323
- 01:35:16,074 --> 01:35:20,369
- 'Cause all the real "G"s
- know what I'm thinkin' of
- 1324
- 01:35:20,495 --> 01:35:26,084
- 'Cause you wanna be down, down
- so give it up
- 1325
- 01:35:26,250 --> 01:35:30,213
- There's a party over here
- So, baby, show your love
- 1326
- 01:35:30,379 --> 01:35:34,550
- 'Cause I got the gin and juice
- Yeah
- 1327
- 01:35:34,717 --> 01:35:37,804
- - You know that, you know that
- - I got the gin and juice
- 1328
- 01:35:37,970 --> 01:35:40,598
- Yeah
- 1329
- 01:35:40,765 --> 01:35:44,977
- 'Cause I got the gin and juice
- Yeah
- 1330
- 01:35:47,355 --> 01:35:49,982
- - I got the, I got the gin and juice
- - Yeah
- 1331
- 01:35:50,149 --> 01:35:53,986
- - I got the answer
- - 'Cause I got the gin and juice
- 1332
- 01:36:03,329 --> 01:36:06,082
- As I walk through the valley
- of the shadow of death
- 1333
- 01:36:06,249 --> 01:36:09,502
- I take a look at my life
- and realize there's nothing left
- 1334
- 01:36:09,627 --> 01:36:12,171
- 'Cause I've been blastin'
- and laughin' so long
- 1335
- 01:36:12,338 --> 01:36:15,550
- That even my mama thinks
- that my mind is gone
- 1336
- 01:36:15,675 --> 01:36:18,386
- I really hate to trip
- but I gotta loc
- 1337
- 01:36:18,511 --> 01:36:22,098
- As they croak I see myself
- in the pistol smoke
- 1338
- 01:36:22,223 --> 01:36:24,308
- Fool, I'm the kind of "G"
- the little homies wanna be like
- 1339
- 01:36:24,434 --> 01:36:28,020
- On my knees in the night
- Sayin' prayers in the street light
- 1340
- 01:36:28,187 --> 01:36:33,985
- Been spending most their lives
- livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- 1341
- 01:36:34,152 --> 01:36:39,866
- Been spending most their lives
- livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- 1342
- 01:36:39,991 --> 01:36:46,205
- We keep spending most our lives
- livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- 1343
- 01:36:57,300 --> 01:36:59,802
- You spent so many nights
- in heat
- 1344
- 01:36:59,927 --> 01:37:02,555
- - And out of control
- - Like that
- 1345
- 01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,183
