The White Shadow (1978–1981): Season 1, Episode 13 - Mainstream - full transcript
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M SURE YOU'RE DOING
A WONDERFUL JOB,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT THE BASKETBALL TEAM IS
NO PLACE FOR A CRIPPLED KID.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}TOM IS NOT A CRIPPLE!
HE HAS DIFFICULTY...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WITH SOCIAL INTERRELATION
AND EXTERNAL ATTENTION.
{\a1\pos(162,432)}THAT'S ALL.
"THAT'S ALL"? I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT TO WARN YOU--
I MEAN, I WANT TO INFORM YOU
ABOUT A NEW MEMBER OF THIS TEAM.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WELL, I HOPE IT'S
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR,
'CAUSE WE SURE NEED HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M AFRAID I'LL DO SOMETHING
TO MAKE THE KID WORSE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}COME ON, KID.
CATCH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}CATCH THE BALL!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Salami ] OKAY.
[ Goldstein ] LET US KNOW WHEN
YOU'RE PLAYIN' FOR HUNDREDS.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Jackson ] HIT ME.
WE'RE PLAYIN' FOR THOUSANDS,
GOLDSTEIN.
{\a1\pos(12,124)}[ Thorpe ] AW, MAN.
Y'ALL PLAYIN' FOR PENNIES.
NAW, YOU GOT THE PENNIES.
{\a1\pos(12,124)}THE GUY NEEDS PENNIES.
[ Salami ]
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(141,124)}[ Overlapping Chatter ]
JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE A LOSER,
THORPE.
{\a1\pos(180,96)}ALL RIGHT, YOU ANIMALS.
LET'S GO. IT'S PLAYTIME.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WARREN? OH, WARREN,
TIME TO EAT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}GET UP, OR I'LL
BREAK YOUR LEGS.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}TODAY I WANT TO WORK
ON MAKING THE PASS.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SOME OF YOU GUYS
ONLY SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
WHEN IT COMES TO GIRLS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT TO DEMONSTRATE
THE ONE-BOUNCE PASS. I NEED
HAYWARD, JACKSON AND GOLDSTEIN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOLDSTEIN AND JACKSON ON "D."
I'M BRINGING THE BALL UP.
{\a1\pos(180,404)}I GOT THE COACH.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}THAT{\r} IS A PASS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TODAY WE'RE GONNA WORK
ON MAKING THE PASS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TOMORROW WE'LL WORK ON
CATCHING IT UNDER CONTROL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOT IT? I WANT TO SEE
A PASSING-DRILL FORMATION,
TWO LINES. LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON, COME ON!
WHAT'S WITH YOU GUYS?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}EASTSIDE 64, CARVER 53.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SAN PEDRO 71, CARVER 40.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}I MEAN, SHOULD I CONTINUE?
THAT'S ALL THAT'S BOTHERING
YOU GUYS-- A LOSING STREAK?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COACH, DIDN'T YOU SEE
THE BLEACHERS AT THE LAST GAME?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- YEAH, SO?
- SO THAT'S THE POINT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHEN WE'RE WINNING
YOU CAN'T{\r} SEE THE BLEACHERS,
'CAUSE THERE'S PEOPLE IN THEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOU GUYS?
YOU'RE A BUNCH OF CRYBABIES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PART OF BEING A GOOD TEAM
IS LEARNING HOW TO HANDLE
LOSING STREAKS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITHOUT-- I REPEAT--
WITHOUT FEELING SORRY
FOR YOURSELVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}END OF THE PEP TALK.
NOW, I WANT TO SEE SOME LIFE.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHEN DID ALL THIS START?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MAINSTREAMING HAS BEEN
FEDERAL LAW SINCE 1975,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}BUT IT'S ONLY RECENTLY
AFFECTED CARVER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, THE IDEA IS TO WORK
DISABLED STUDENTS INTO
NORMAL STUDENT POPULATIONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE DISABILITY CAN BE PHYSICAL
OR A LEARNING DISABILITY
LIKE AUTISM, AND SO FORTH.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WHAT'S THE PROCESS?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}VERY SIMPLY, YOU MAY BE
ASSIGNED A DISABLED STUDENT
AS YOU WOULD BE ANY OTHER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY ATTEND HERE PART OF THE
DAY. YOU WORK WITH THEM RIGHT
THROUGH YOUR NORMAL CURRICULUM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
SEE MRS. SIMPSON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE IS CONDUCTING THE PROGRAM
THROUGH HER GUIDANCE OFFICE.
OKAY?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}UNLESS THERE'S ANY
NEW BUSINESS, THAT'S IT.
WAIT A MINUTE. I GOT SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ All Grumbling ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHY DO YOU THINK I SAT
THROUGH 40 MINUTES OF THIS?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}KEEP YOUR MIND OFF YOUR LOSING
STREAK MAYBE? [ Chuckles ]
I DON'T KNOW,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE IN
THIS SCHOOL WANTS TO FORGET IT,
AND I NEED SOME HELP.
{\a1\pos(78,432)}YOU?
YEAH. SO I THOUGHT I'D JUST
COME RIGHT OUT AND ASK FOR IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}GIVE EVERYBODY
A LITTLE TREAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, I KNOW SOME OF YOU TEACHERS
HAVE MEMBERS OF MY TEAM
IN YOUR CLASSES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU PROBABLY NOTICED
THEY'RE BEHAVING EVEN MORE
LIKE ZOMBIES THAN USUAL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY'VE LOST
ALL THEIR OOMPH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW
WHETHER ANYBODY IN THIS SCHOOL
CARES WHETHER THEY WIN OR LOSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAS ANYBODY HERE
EVER HEARD OF SOMETHIN'
CALLED "SCHOOL SPIRIT"?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}SINCE PROPOSITION 13, WE'VE HAD
TO TRIM IT OUT OF THE BUDGET.
[ Laughs ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JUST BECAUSE WE'RE IN A
DEPRESSED NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T
MEAN WE{\r} HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
PARADES, PEP RALLIES?
- WE'VE NEVER HAD A PEP RALLY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'VE NEVER HAD ANY PEP!
THE CHEERLEADERS HARDLY CHEER!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}THEY'RE EMBARRASSED.
[ Willis ]
REEVES IS RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF THIS SCHOOL IS GOING
TO HAVE A BASKETBALL TEAM,
WE SHOULD SUPPORT IT.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}YEAH.
HAVEN'T WE GOT ENOUGH
TO WORRY ABOUT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE'RE TEACHERS, PROFESSIONALS.
I MEAN, WHO CARES ABOUT
PEP RALLIES?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU JUST SPENT THE WHOLE MEETING
ON THE MAINSTREAMING PROGRAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, I THINK THAT'S
A WONDERFUL PROJECT.
BUT YOU'RE TEACHERS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOU TO HELP
HANDICAPPED STUDENTS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT WHY DON'T YOU USE A LITTLE
BIT OF THE SAME ENERGY TO BRING
SOME SPIRIT INTO THE SCHOOL?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT'S A PRETTY SPEECH,
AND FINE FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT YOU'RE A COACH,
AND NOBODY IS GONNA ASSIGN YOU A
CRIPPLED STUDENT TO MAINSTREAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PLEASE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
SCHOOL SPIRIT. NOW, WHAT'D YOU
HAVE IN MIND, KEN?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THOUGHT WE COULD START SMALL--
ENCOURAGE THE KIDS TO COME OUT
TO THE GAMES.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}MAYBE WE COULD START
BY GETTING OURSELVES
A SCHOOL MASCOT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I LIKE IT. WHY NOT?
YOU MEAN, A MASCOT THAT
YOU HAVE AT ALL THE GAMES?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE
SOME SORT OF COSTUME MADE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, MY ART CLASS
NEEDS A LITTLE PROJECT.
WE'LL DREAM UP SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GREAT. I APPRECIATE THAT.
THAT'LL REALLY HELP ME TO
TURN THESE KIDS INTO WINNERS.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}AH, WINNING
ISN'T EVERYTHING.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Sighs ]
WORDS TO LIVE BY,
MRS. SIMPSON. THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YEAH. WELL, UH, FINE.
IF ALL THAT'S SETTLED,
I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}UH, COACH REEVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COACH REEVES? COULD I
SPEAK WITH YOU A MINUTE?
{\a1\pos(36,432)}YEAH, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING
THE MAINSTREAM ASSIGNMENTS HERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND THERE'S A STUDENT
I WOULD LIKE TO ASSIGN
TO YOUR BASKETBALL PROGRAM.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IT'S NOT
A BASKETBALL PROGRAM,
IT'S A BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Chuckles ]
PROGRAM, TEAM,
IT'S THE SAME THING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ANYWAY, PART OF MY JOB
IS TO FIND...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}INTERESTED FACULTY MEMBERS
WHO WOULD WORK WITH
THESE YOUNGSTERS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND THERE'S A BOY THAT
I THINK WOULD BE JUST
PERFECT FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WEREN'T YOU LISTENING
TO WHAT I WAS SAYING
IN THE FACULTY MEETING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MY TEAM'S IN THE BASEMENT. WE'RE
ON A LOSING STREAK. THEY'RE
LOSING FAITH IN THEMSELVES.
{\a1\pos(264,404)}I GOT PROBLEMS.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SEE, THIS SITUATION
IS JUST TAILOR-MADE FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE GYM LATELY?
I GOT 12 BASKET CASES ON MY
HANDS. I DON'T NEED ONE MORE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Reeves, Indistinct ]
COME ON.
{\a1\pos(180,432)}COME ON.
COME ON, THORPE.
GET OVER THERE.
{\a1\pos(264,404)}ONE MORE, ONE MORE.
GET A REBOUND.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Overlapping Chatter ]
{\a1\pos(12,404)}AW, COME ON!
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
{\a1\pos(99,432)}I'M SORRY!
[ Reeves ] GOLDSTEIN, WILL YA
MISS? WE ALL WANT TO GO HOME!
{\a1\pos(432,404)}LET'S GO!
GO!
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
ALL RIGHT, BIG WARREN.
THAT'S IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ENOUGH
FOR TODAY. DO YOUR LAPS
AND HIT THE SHOWERS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Jackson ]
YOU STINK, YOU STINK.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THE BOYS'S LOCKER ROOM.
YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}OH, THAT'S FINE.
WE CAN TALK HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}NOW, LOOK, I'M NOT
CHANGING MY MIND.
WHY NOT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I GOT MORE PROBLEMS
WITH THESE ANIMALS
THAN I CAN HANDLE AS IT IS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T THINK ASSIGNING
A KID IN A WHEELCHAIR
TO THE BASKETBALL TEAM'S...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GONNA DO ANYBODY ANY GOOD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, I THINK THE MAINSTREAMING
PROGRAM IS WONDERFUL. I'M SURE
YOU'RE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}BUT THE BASKETBALL TEAM IS
NO PLACE FOR A CRIPPLED KID.
TOM IS NOT A CRIPPLE!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I WOULDN'T ASSIGN
A WHEELCHAIR-BOUND STUDENT
TO AN AMBULATORY SPORT.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}TOM IS AUTISTIC.
HE HAS DIFFICULTY...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WITH SOCIAL INTERRELATION
AND EXTERNALIZED ATTENTION.
{\a1\pos(162,432)}THAT'S ALL.
"THAT'S ALL"? I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LET ME READ YOU SOME COMMENTS
FROM THE SPECIAL-EDUCATION
TEACHERS AT BRONSON SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}"TOM HAS REALLY ADJUSTED
TO GROUP ACTIVITY...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}"AND SHOWS HIS
STRONGEST DEVELOPMENT
IN OUR BASKETBALL GAMES.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}YEAH.
HE LEADS HIS TEAM--"
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH.
THANKS, BUT NO THANKS.
BUT YOU'RE AN ATHLETE!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WANT TO
HELP HANDICAPPED CHILDREN!
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE
UNITED WAY COMMERCIALS
I SEE ALL THE TIME?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
WHY ARE YOU BUGGIN' ME?
YOU STOPPED ME IN THE HALLWAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU ASKED ME. I SAID NO. YOU
CAME DOWN TO THE GYM. YOU ASKED
ME AGAIN. AGAIN, I SAID NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW YOU'RE LEAVIN' NOTES
ON MY BLACKBOARD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT'S NEXT?
THREATENING PHONE CALLS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
{\a1\pos(264,460)}SHH! THERE'S NO NEED
TO GET EXCITED.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT EXCITED?
WHO'S EXCITED?
PLEASE. HE'LL HEAR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHO'S GONNA HEAR ME?
[ Sighs ]
TOM HENDRICKS.
{\a1\pos(141,432)}HE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM.
YOU KNOW, I GET THE FEELING
YOU'RE TRYING TO SET ME UP.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}I JUST THOUGHT IF
YOU'D MEET HIM--
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF I MEET HIM, WILL YOU
PROMISE TO LEAVE ME ALONE
AND DROP IT?
{\a1\pos(432,404)}ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(516,460)}TOM,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
COACH REEVES.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}COME HERE.
THIS ISN'T A ZOO.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}COACH REEVES,
PLEASE MEET
TOM HENDRICKS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HI, TOM.
HOW'RE YA DOIN'?
{\a1\pos(264,404)}WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M LEAVING.
{\a1\pos(120,432)}BUT-BUT WHAT ABOUT TOM?
I'M SORRY. I CANNOT PUT THAT
KID ON MY BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MAYBE I CAN WORK
WITH HIM SOME WEEKENDS,
SOMETHING UNOFFICIAL, BUT--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YEAH, BUT THE WHOLE IDEA
ABOUT MAINSTREAMING
IS TO PUT THE CHILD...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}INTO A NORMAL SCHOOL
FOR PART OF EVERY DAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}OH, THIS IS TERRIBLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO NOW.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}AREN'T YOU OVERREACTING
JUST A LITTLE BIT?
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I-- I'VE ALREADY
TALKED TO TOM ABOUT YOU,
AND I'VE TOLD HIS MOTHER,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND TOLD THEM HOW INVOLVED
YOU GET WITH THE PLAYERS,
AND HOW GOOD YOU'D BE FOR TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I ALREADY TOLD THEM
YOU'D TAKE HIM.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Door Opens, Closes ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OF ALL THE BUREAUCRATIC--
YOU TALK ABOUT ME
OVERSTEPPING MY{\r} BOUNDS.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Sybil ]
SHE CLEARLY OVERSTEPPED
HER AUTHORITY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW I KNOW WHY SHE'S BEEN
DOGGING ME FOR TWO DAYS.
SHE PUT HER FOOT IN HER MOUTH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- NOW SHE WANTS ME
TO BAIL HER OUT.
- WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}SHE'LL GET A FORMAL REPRIMAND.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOU KNOW WHAT
KIND OF A BIND THIS PUTS ME IN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SHE WAS WRONG.
BUT AREN'T WE REALLY
TALKING ABOUT THE BOY?
{\a1\pos(264,460)}MAYBE YOU CAN
WORK WITH HIM, KEN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, LOOK. I COULD REALLY DO
SOMETHIN' WRONG AND SCREW UP
A KID LIKE THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU.
EVER SINCE YOU GOT HERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'VE BEEN STICKING YOUR NOSE
INTO THE PERSONAL PROBLEMS
OF EVERY KID ON YOUR TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE
TO HELP A KID AS A LEGITIMATE
PART OF YOUR JOB--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S DIFFERENT. WITH THOSE
KIDS, I PUSH 'EM AROUND A LITTLE
BIT, AND THEY'LL STRAIGHTEN OUT.
{\a1\pos(180,404)}BUT THIS KID'S GOT--
A REAL PROBLEM.
{\a1\pos(516,460)}YEAH!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SO YOU WANT ME TO PUT
THIS KID WITH A REAL PROBLEM
IN WITH JACKSON AND HAYWARD?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IN THE FIRST PLACE,
THE BOY WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU,
NOT THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO DO WITH HIM?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I THINK MAYBE
YOU'RE AFRAID, KEN.
AFRAID?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}UH, OKAY-- UPSET.
DISABILITIES ARE UPSETTING.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}IT'S ONLY NATURAL.
[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, THEY MAKE US REALIZE
HOW VULNERABLE WE ARE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}AS AN ATHLETE, YOU'RE STRIVING
FOR PHYSICAL PERFECTION.
DON'T TRY TO PSYCH ME OUT, DOC.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
WHAT I MEAN IS,
I'VE MET TOM HENDRICKS,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}AND PUTTING HIM
ON MY BASKETBALL TEAM
IS A BIG MISTAKE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE KID'S LOST IN HIS OWN WORLD,
AND IF YOU PUT HIM
ON THE TEAM...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL
I CAN'T PLAY HIM,
HE'LL JUST FEEL LEFT OUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- NOW WHO'S TRYING TO DO
THE PSYCHING OUT?
- WELL, I CAN'T MAINSTREAM HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'VE ALREADY DONE
WHAT AMOUNTS TO MAINSTREAMING
A WHOLE TEAM OF MISFITS.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}YEAH, BUT THEY DON'T
HAVE HIS PROBLEMS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE HAS GOT TO BE
SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE
YOU CAN DO WITH TOM. NOW, LOOK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IN MATH, THERE'S
A LEGALLY BLIND BOY WHO CAN
SEE WITH AN OVERHEAD PROJECTOR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IN SHOP, MR. BURNS COMPLAINS,
BUT HE HAS BUILT...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}A SPECIAL WORKBENCH
FOR A BOY IN A WHEELCHAIR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT IS UP TO YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IT'S YOUR DECISION.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT,
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE WHOLE IDEA WOULD BE TO
TREAT HIM LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOBODY WOULD EXPECT FOR YOU
TO PLAY HIM IN A GAME,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND NO ONE WOULD EXPECT
ANY MIRACLES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,
I'M LEANIN' THE OTHER WAY,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}AND I DON'T LIKE BEING
BULLDOZED INTO ANYTHING.
{\a1\pos(369,460)}[ Door Slams ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Mrs. Simpson ]
OH, MR. REEVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COACH REEVES, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET MRS. HENDRICKS,
TOM'S MOTHER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HELPING THOMAS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HE'S SO EXCITED ABOUT
BEING ON THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(285,460)}AREN'T YOU?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}EVERYBODY TELLS ME
SUCH NICE THINGS ABOUT YOU--
HOW YOU HELP PEOPLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
I THINK THOMAS IS VERY LUCKY
TO HAVE YOU WORKING WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}HE'S A FINE
BASKETBALL PLAYER.
THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, THE BUS IS WAITING.
IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE MET YOU.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}- BYE.
- GOOD-BYE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}I JUST COULDN'T
TELL THEM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}OH, MAN, I DON'T EVEN FEEL
LIKE PRACTICIN' TODAY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HEY, HOW DO YOU EXPECT
TO GET BETTER IF YOU
DON'T PRACTICE, JACKSON?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ABNER, SHUT UP.
{\a1\pos(183,432)}THANKS, MO.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GETTIN'
TEED OFF AT ME FOR?
{\a1\pos(264,460)}I'M JUST TRYING TO
PUMP SOME NEW LIFE
INTO THIS TEAM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IF YOU DON'T KNOCK IT OFF,
THIS TEAM MAY LOSE A LIFE,
AND IT MAY BE YOURS.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}[ Scattered Chuckles ]
UH, LISTEN UP, YOU GUYS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BEFORE WE GO OUT ON THE COURT,
THERE'S AN ANNOUNCEMENT
I WANT TO MAKE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT TO WARN YOU--
I MEAN, I WANT TO INFORM YOU...
{\a1\pos(12,432)}ABOUT A NEW MEMBER OF THIS TEAM.
[ Gomez ]
I DON'T SEE ANYBODY NEW.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WELL, HE'LL BE AT PRACTICE
THIS AFTERNOON.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WELL, I HOPE IT'S
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR,
'CAUSE WE SURE NEED HIM.
{\a1\pos(201,432)}[ Scattered Chuckles ]
NO, IT'S NOT
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, IN CASE YOU'RE
NOT AWARE OF IT,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THERE'S BEEN AN INFLUX
OF HANDICAPPED STUDENTS
IN THIS SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AWARE OF IT? MAN, I'M EXPECTIN'
JERRY LEWIS TO COME THROUGH
THAT DOOR ANY MINUTE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ All Laughing ]
IF I HEAR ANYMORE TALK LIKE THAT
FROM ANYBODY AROUND HERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY'RE GOIN' THROUGH A WALL!
{\a1\pos(117,460)}NOW, THESE KIDS
ARE PART OF A PROGRAM
CALLED "MAINSTREAMING."
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO FIT IN
WITH THE REGULAR STUDENTS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ONE OF THESE KIDS HAS BEEN
ASSIGNED TO OUR BASKETBALL TEAM.
HIS NAME IS TOM HENDRICKS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HEY, COACH,
I HOPE HE'S NOT DEFORMED
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}NO, HE'S NOT DEFORMED.
HE LOOKS JUST LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- WELL, WHAT IS IT? I MEAN,
IS HE BLIND OR SOMETHING?
- YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- HE'S AUTISTIC.
- [ Coolidge ]
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS,
BUT I SURE DON'T LIKE
THE WAY IT SOUNDS.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}WELL, I'M NOT SURE
WHAT IT MEANS EITHER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}BUT THE WAY IT'S BEEN
EXPLAINED TO ME,
AN AUTISTIC PERSON...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IS SOMEONE WHO HAS
A HARD TIME RELATING
TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THEY LIVE IN
A KIND OF A DREAM WORLD--
VERY WITHDRAWN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- HMM. SOUNDS LIKE HAYWARD.
- [ Laughing ]
{\a1\pos(117,460)}NOW, LOOK. THIS IS NO JOKE.
I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS
MAKIN' FUN OF THIS KID.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE'S GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS
WITHOUT YOU MAKIN' THINGS
WORSE FOR HIM.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}WELL, CAN HE
PLAY BASKETBALL?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Sighs ]
HAYWARD, I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS KID CAN TIE HIS SHOELACES.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, LOOK, I WANT EVERYTHING
THE SAME AROUND HERE--
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NO CHANGE IN ROUTINE,
NOTHING DIFFERENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHEN HE GETS HERE,
I WANT YOU TO TREAT HIM
JUST AS YOU WOULD ANYONE ELSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAIT, ON SECOND THOUGHT,
IF YOU TREAT HIM LIKE YOU DO
EVERYONE ELSE, I'LL KILL YA.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}COME ON. LET'S HURRY UP.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}[ Thorpe ]
OH, BOY.
{\a1\pos(285,460)}YEAH. ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reeves ] ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, COME ON. LET'S GO.
KEEP YOUR MIND ON YOUR BUSINESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HELLO, TOM.
WELCOME TO THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NEW BEGINNINGS ARE ALWAYS
SO EXCITING, I THINK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH! I-I SHOULD INTRODUCE
YOU TWO. UH, MARSHA DONNERS,
THIS IS COACH KEN REEVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MARSHA IS TOM'S
FULL-TIME AIDE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE'S ASSIGNED BY
THE SPECIAL-EDUCATION PEOPLE
TO HELP TOM WHEN HE'S HERE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HOW DO YOU DO, MR. REEVES?
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE
WORKING WITH YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IT'S ALSO A NEW EXPERIENCE
FOR ME MAINSTREAMING
IN BASKETBALL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, COACH REEVES
IS A WONDERFUL LEADER,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}JUST WONDERFUL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I DON'T WANT
TO BE UNDERFOOT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Boy ] YEAH! ALL RIGHT.
I GUESS I'LL GET OUT
OF THE WAY TOO.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}NOW, TOM, YOU DO
EVERYTHING THAT MR.--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}COACH REEVES TELLS YOU
TO DO, ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OKAY, TOM, LET'S HEAD OUT
ON THE COURT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Boy ]
AAHH! EMBARRASSING.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT'S HE DOING THAT FOR?
DIDN'T YOU HEAR
WHAT THE COACH SAID?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE LIVES IN
HIS OWN WORLD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT. COME ON, GUYS.
LET'S GO ON WITH THE DRILL. WE
GOT A GAME THIS WEEK. LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Clapping ]
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Reeves ]
COME ON, COME ON.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Clears Throat ]
{\a1\pos(12,404)}ANY SUGGESTIONS?
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THIS IS TYPICAL BEHAVIOR.
JUST KEEP WORKING WITH HIM.
BE PATIENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, WELL, LOOK.
I'VE GOT TO GET MY TEAM
DOWN TO WORK SOMETIME,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO IF YOU COULD JUST
GIVE ME SOME SORT OF
AN IDEA OF HOW LONG...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'VE GOT TO BE PATIENT WITH TOM
TILL HE GETS WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(264,404)}YOU JUST STARTED.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Clears Throat ]
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THIS GUY TOM'S
GOT ONE ORIGINAL ACT--
MIGHTY ORIGINAL.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH, BUT WHAT IF HE
TRIES THAT DURING A GAME?
[ Snickers ]
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WE'LL JUST SEND HIM IN
FOR GOLDSTEIN. [ Laughing ]
[ Laughing ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Thorpe ] YEAH, I GOT
MY BOY TOM HERE FIGURED TO BE
SOME KIND OF SECRET AGENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reese ]
OH, MIGHTY SECRET AGENT, BLOOD.
MIGHTY SECRET.
{\a1\pos(78,432)}[ Laughing ]
COME ON, MAN. DON'T Y'ALL KNOW
A HUSTLE WHEN Y'ALL SEE ONE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DOES THIS MEAN IF WE PUT DOWN
A TEN SPOT, BLOOD, HE'LL START
TALKING LIKE A PROFESSIONAL?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COOL IT?
THE BOY CAN HEAR EVERYTHING
YOU'RE SAYIN' TO HIM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU HEARD WHAT REEVES SAID.
THE GUY'S AUTISTIC.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}HE LIVES IN A DREAM WORLD.
YEAH, PROBABLY THE SAME ONE
AS YOUR SEX LIFE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE'S SITTIN' ON MY SHIRT.
HOW AM I GONNA GET IT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU GET IT BACK THE SAME WAY
AS YOU GET IT FROM ME.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU SAY, "MR. HENDRICKS,
MAY I PLEASE HAVE
MY SHIRT BACK?"
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON. YOU GUYS WANNA
LEAN ON SOMEBODY, LEAN ON
SOMEBODY WHO CAN TAKE IT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}OH, CALM DOWN, MAN.
I THINK HE'S TAKIN' IT
PRETTY GOOD.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YEAH, JUST BECAUSE
TOM'S GOT A COOL HEAD
ON HIS SHOULDERS...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}DOESN'T MEAN HE'S LETTIN'
HIMSELF GET WALKED ON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, GOMEZ SAID IT, MAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF TOM WANTS TO HANG IN HERE,
HEY, WE'RE GONNA TREAT HIM
JUST LIKE WE DO EACH OTHER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YEAH, RIGHT.
TOM'S HERE TO MAINSTREAM,
RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(96,432)}WELL, WE'RE THE MAIN STREAM.
IF WE'RE THE MAIN STREAM,
THEN THIS IS ONE ROUGH RIVER.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YOU HAVEN'T SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT THE FOOD.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}OH, UH, IT'S GOOD.
HEY, IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOUR
SISTER AGREES TO COME OVER...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND MAKE HER FAMOUS
HUNGARIAN GOULASH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST NOT HUNGRY.
{\a1\pos(537,460)}LOOK,
{\a1\pos(264,460)}IF YOU'RE WORRYING
ABOUT TOM HENDRICKS,
{\a1\pos(348,460)}JUST DO THE BEST
YOU CAN.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}THAT'S ALL ANYONE CAN DO.
THAT'S JUST IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'RE SCARED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MAYBE I AM. I'M AFRAID
I'LL DO SOMETHING
TO MAKE THE KID WORSE.
{\a1\pos(348,404)}THAT'S SILLY.
OH, YEAH?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN HOW COME EVERYBODY TELLS ME
THAT THE KID USED TO PLAY
BASKETBALL AT HIS OLD SCHOOL,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND WITH ME HE ACTS
LIKE HE'S NEVER EVEN SEEN
A BASKETBALL BEFORE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE STANDS THERE HUGGING
THAT THING AND I FREEZE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?
BE YOURSELF.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}BE WHAT YOU ARE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}YOU'RE A COACH,
REMEMBER?
BE A COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Indistinct Shouts ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Coolidge ]
LET'S GO. LET'S PLAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON, COOLIDGE.
YOU GOTTA READ THE DEFENSE
BEFORE YOU FIRE IT OVER THERE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HEY, MAN, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
OUR GENERATION DOESN'T READ.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HEY, TOM, HEADS UP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Boy ]
NO, NO!
[ Laughing ]
{\a1\pos(12,432)}HEY!
HEY, TOM,
TRY TO TAKE IT AWAY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}COME ON, COME ON.
TRY TO GET IT AWAY FROM ME.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}COME ON. COME ON.
TRY TO GET THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}COME ON.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}COME ON.
HEY!
{\a1\pos(264,432)}OH, FOR REAL!
ALL RIGHT, GOMEZ!
YEAH!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, RIGHT HERE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}DO YOU THINK IF WE
SET FIRE TO THE GYM,
HE'D REMEMBER WE'RE HERE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN'T GET IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}GUYS, THIS IS NOT
A DOG AND PONY SHOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'VE GOT A GAME NEXT WEEK WITH
A TEAM THAT'S LIABLE TO POLISH
THE FLOOR WITH YOU. REMEMBER?
{\a1\pos(180,432)}HE REMEMBERS.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}LOOK, I'M SORRY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I KNOW I'VE BEEN SPENDING
ALL MY TIME WITH TOM, BUT I
THINK I'M ONTO SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}AND, UH, YOU GUYS DIDN'T
LOOK TOO SHABBY TODAY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HAYWARD, YOUR FOOTWORK'S
ALMOST CONVINCING.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}AND, UH, IT WAS
A NICE SHOT, GOMEZ.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, NOW, I WANT TO SPEND
SOME TIME WITH TOM ALONE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YOU GUYS CALL IT A DAY
AND HIT THE SHOWERS.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}HO-HO-HO!
ALL RIGHT, THE SHOWERS!
{\a1\pos(12,404)}LET'S GO!
ALL RIGHT. DIG IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Chattering ]
{\a1\pos(348,460)}HEY, TOM, TOM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, WE'RE GONNA TAKE THIS
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}OKAY? NOW, FIRST YOU
GOTTA KNOW THE BASICS,
RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THIS IS THE FIRST BASIC.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THIS IS A BASKETBALL.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}ALL RIGHT,
SO MUCH FOR THAT.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}NEXT BASIC:
YOU GOTTA KNOW
HOW TO HANDLE IT,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HOW TO GET THE FEEL OF IT,
HOW TO MAKE IT
DO WHAT YOU WANT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SEE? ONCE YOU CAN HANDLE
THIS THING, YOU CAN
MAKE IT TALK TO YA.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}SEE?
{\a1\pos(432,460)}ALL RIGHT,
NOW YOU TRY.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}COME ON.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}[ Ball Bounces ]
HERE, YOU HOLD IT NOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, I KNOW YOU KNOW
HOW TO PLAY BASKETBALL
AND THAT YOU'VE PLAYED BEFORE,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}AND I WANT TO HELP YOU
TO PLAY WITH US.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}EVERYBODY'S CLUMSY AT FIRST,
SO THERE'S NOTHIN'
TO WORRY ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY.
OKAY?
{\a1\pos(348,460)}COME ON.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}COME ON.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}ALL RIGHT.
YOU STAND OVER HERE.
ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}NOW, I'M GONNA
BOUNCE THE BALL TO YOU
AND YOU CATCH IT.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}THAT'S ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO TODAY.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}HERE IT COMES.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT. NO PROBLEM.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WE'LL TRY IT AGAIN.
HERE. HERE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}HERE IT COMES.
CATCH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IT'S REAL SIMPLE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}NOW, JUST TRY.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}CATCH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}COME ON, COME ON.
JUST TRY.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}HERE, HERE.
LOOK. THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}CATCH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}COME ON, KID.
CATCH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}CATCH THE BALL,
DAMN IT!
{\a1\pos(180,432)}WHAT ARE YOU, A MADMAN?
DON'T GIVE ME THAT NOISE.
YOU SAW HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE IS NOT ONE OF YOUR REGULAR
GORILLAS. THIS IS NOT A GAME
WHERE YOU RANT ABOUT THE SCORE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW THAT. SUPPOSE YOU
TELL TOM. HE'S PROBABLY
READY FOR REVERSE LAYUPS!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU TEACH HIM IF YOU THINK
IT'S SUCH A HOT IDEA!
NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO, I THINK THIS IS A MISTAKE.
SOMEHOW I JUST KNEW
YOU WOULD BLOW IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU HAVE ALL THE SUBTLETIES
OF A DROP-FORGE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, HOW ABOUT THAT?
I GUESS I WOKE HIM UP.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Sighs ]
WHAT AN EGO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE DOES THAT
ALL DAY LONG AT BRONSON.
THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S BY HIMSELF.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}THAT'S AUTISM.
YEAH, THAT'S A LOT
OF PROFESSIONAL BULL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING
UNTIL I BLEW UP AT HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'RE LUCKY HE DIDN'T WITHDRAW
COMPLETELY. YOU DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
{\a1\pos(141,432)}THAT'S TOM BY HIMSELF.
I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S WORKING,
BUT I DON'T.
THAT'S WHAT HE'S GONNA GET...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}UNLESS YOU CAN COME UP
WITH SOMETHING BETTER.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}YEAH, I DO
HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I AM GOING TO TAKE HIM
OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S GREAT.
IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU FEEL,
YOU TAKE HIM. HE'S YOURS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I OUGHT TO PUT A LOCK
ON THAT DOOR.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I HEARD.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT I FLOGGED
A DEFENSELESS CRIPPLE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MM, SOMETHING ALONG
THOSE LINES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I ALSO HEARD THAT YOU
FINALLY SUCCEEDED...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IN BRINGING TOM HENDRICKS
OUT OF HIS SHELL.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WHICH DID YOU BELIEVE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, KNOWING YOU,
THE ANSWER'S
ANYTHING BUT SIMPLE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME?
[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WELL, I'M NOT HERE
TO CONFESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I NEED SOME ANSWERS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I SPENT TWO DAYS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WORKING JUST TO FORCE MYSELF
TO TRY WITH TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Sighs ]
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH THE KID.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ONE MINUTE HE'D BE STANDING
IN THE CORNER ALONE BY HIMSELF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE NEXT MINUTE HE'D BE RUNNING
AROUND WITH THE BASKETBALL UNDER
HIS ARM LIKE A FOOTBALL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN HE'D BE HUGGING IT
LIKE A TEDDY BEAR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S NOT THAT I DIDN'T
WANT TO HELP HIM,
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SYBIL, I TELL YA,
IT'S BREAKIN' MY HEART.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}IS OR WAS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IS! I CAN'T QUIT NOW,
EITHER WAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF I'VE HELPED HIM
OR IF I'VE HURT HIM,
I CAN'T QUIT NOW.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT'S VERY COMMENDABLE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}IT'S TOUCHING--
REALLY, IT IS.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}BUT IT'S
TOO LATE NOW, KEN.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MARSHA DONNERS
TOOK TOM OUT OF CARVER
THIS MORNING...
{\a1\pos(264,460)}ON THE GROUNDS
OF INCOMPATIBILITY
OR SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WHAT CAN YOU DO?
YOU CAN'T FIGHT IT.
SHE'S THE EXPERT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, YEAH?
WELL, SHE'S NOT BEING FAIR
TO TOM OR TO ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE SAW ONE THING
AND REFUSED TO SEE THE OTHER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW I'M NOT AN EXPERT.
SHE NEVER LET ME FORGET
THAT I'M JUST A COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT ISN'T THAT WHY TOM'S HERE?
TO GET AWAY FROM THE EXPERTS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO DEAL WITH THAT ARGUMENT.
YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU DID.
{\a1\pos(57,432)}YOU MUST THINK YOU'VE
MADE SOME PROGRESS.
I HAVE. I MEAN, I THINK I HAVE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AT LEAST I'VE ACTUALLY GOTTEN
HIM STARTED PLAYING BASKETBALL,
NOT JUST PLAYING WITH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}UH, YOU FORGOT THE PART
ABOUT YOUR TEMPER TANTRUM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BELIEVE ME,
I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
IT WAS STUPID, I KNOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED,
HE'D GO INTO HIS
WOODEN INDIAN ACT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO I BLEW UP AT HIM,
AND MAYBE THAT'S WHAT
DID THE TRICK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
MAYBE EVERYONE'S JUST BEEN TOO
PATIENT WITH TOM FOR TOO LONG.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SHE SAYS HE DOES FINE
AT HIS REGULAR SCHOOL--
{\a1\pos(12,432)}PLAYS BASKETBALL AND EVERYTHING
WITHOUT BEING BROWBEATEN.
BUT THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T SEE WHY IT'S SO GOOD
THAT HE STAYS BACK THERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PERFECTLY ADJUSTED,
HAPPY AS A LARK,
BUT STILL SAFE BACK THERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WASN'T THAT THE POINT
OF HIS COMING TO CARVER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TO FIND OUT THAT LIFE IS FULL
OF CRAZY, MEAN COACHES LIKE ME,
SO HE COULD GET USED TO US?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WELL, I CERTAINLY HOPE
THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY MORE
OF YOU AROUND,
{\a1\pos(264,460)}OR WE'LL ALL HAVE TO
GO OFF AND HIDE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH JOKES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I JUST WANT TO KNOW ONE THING.
CAN I GET TOM BACK TO CARVER?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MY ADVICE IS TO DROP IT.
IT'S OVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT HIM BACK.
JUST TELL ME HOW TO DO IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Sighs ] OKAY.
I THINK WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
IS CONVINCE MRS. HENDRICKS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SHE'S GOT THE FINAL SAY.
I KNOW YOU'LL NEVER
CONVINCE MARSHA DONNERS.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}SHE THINKS
THE BRONSON SCHOOL'S
ENOUGH FOR HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT'S SO WONDERFUL
ABOUT THAT PLACE?
[ Knocking ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY SAID THAT COACH REEVES WAS
HERE. I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHERE
TO PUT THE NEW MASCOT COSTUME.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}OH, UH, YEAH, THE COSTUME.
YOU BETTER PUT IT
IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}I'M ALL WRAPPED UP
WITH SOMETHIN' RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}YOU WERE SAYING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, THE BRONSON SCHOOL.
YOU THINK MAYBE I COULD
GET SOME ANSWERS THERE?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IF YOU SERIOUSLY WANT
TO GET TOM BACK HERE,
{\a1\pos(264,460)}I THINK YOU'D BETTER
FIND OUT.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}MR. MARSHALL?
YES?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I'M KEN REEVES.
I COACH BASKETBALL--
AT CARVER. YES, I KNOW.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU DO?
SURE.
THOMAS HENDRICKS WAS--
{\a1\pos(96,432)}UM, THAT IS, UH, YOU WERE
WORKING WITH THOMAS.
THAT'S OKAY.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WE GOT OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT.
YES, I KNOW.
MARSHA DONNERS FILLED ME IN.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I'M, UH--
I'M SORRY THAT THOMAS
IS BACK HERE FULL-TIME.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}HEH! HE WAS MY FIRST
TO BE MAINSTREAMED.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}ARE, UH, ALL OF YOUR
STUDENTS LIKE THOMAS?
AUTISTIC?
{\a1\pos(78,432)}YEAH.
NO. NO, I HAVE SEVERAL WHO
ARE LABELED MENTALLY RETARDED,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND A NUMBER OF KIDS WHO ARE
NOT RETARDED BUT WHO HAVE
LEARNING DISABILITIES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DO ALL THESE STUDENTS
GET MAINSTREAMED?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, UM, THE LAW IS OPEN
TO DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS,
SO YOU GET MIXED OPINIONS.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}AH.
AS FAR AS TOM IS CONCERNED,
I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}HE HAS TO JUMP
INTO LIFE SOMETIME.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT DO YOU THINK WENT WRONG?
MISUNDERSTANDINGS,
MORE OR LESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN
HE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE TEAM,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WAS TOLD THAT TOM HAD
PLAYED BASKETBALL BEFORE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SURE, HE PLAYED HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I-- I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY HOW TO PUT THIS,
BUT IS IT REAL BASKETBALL?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}COME ON. I'LL SHOW YOU.
YOU CAN JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M SORRY THINGS WORKED OUT
THE WAY THEY DID.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL TOM'S BEEN ABLE
TO TALK ABOUT IS
YOU AND YOUR TEAM,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BASKETBALL.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE DIDN'T TALK AT CARVER.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HE ACTED LIKE
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT A BASKETBALL WAS.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU WORRIED IT WAS
SOMETHING YOU DID?
YEAH, YOU COULD SAY THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WOULDN'T. YOU OBVIOUSLY MADE
A BIG IMPRESSION ON TOMMY--
FOR THE GOOD, I THINK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE'S PLAYING THIS MORNING.
HE'S JUST...
SHY EVERY NOW AND THEN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AS FOR WHAT HAPPENED AT CARVER,
THAT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE NEW ENVIRONMENT CAUSED HIM
TO WITHDRAW MORE THAN USUAL,
RIGHT FROM THE FIRST DAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'D LIKE FOR HIM TO GO BACK,
SO HE CAN GET OVER THIS THING.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND IF HE DOES,
TRY WORKING WITH HIM
ONE-ON-ONE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IT'S THE TECHNIQUE
WE USE HERE.
IT WORKS FOR TOM.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}ONE-ON-ONE, HUH?
WELL, I HOPE I GET
THE CHANCE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Doorbell Rings ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, COACH REEVES!
WHAT A SURPRISE TO SEE YOU.
HEH!
{\a1\pos(12,404)}UH, WON'T YOU COME IN?
YES, THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}ARE YOU HERE
ON SCHOOL BUSINESS?
WELL, YES, SORT OF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I HOPE IT'S NOT INCONVENIENT
FOR YOU, BUT I DIDN'T WANT
ANY MORE TIME TO GO BY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE'VE NEVER REALLY
TALKED BEFORE,
AND THAT WAS A MISTAKE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}'CAUSE IF WE HAD,
YOU'D KNOW HOW MUCH
I'VE TRIED WITH TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THINGS WERE JUST
STARTING TO CLICK.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Chuckles ]
WELL, "STARTING TO CLICK"
ISN'T EXACTLY THE WAY...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MRS. DONNERS PUT IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WELL, TO TELL YA, I...
REALLY DON'T SEE ANYTHING
FUNNY ABOUT ALL THIS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Chuckles ]
WELL, YOU SHOULD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I HAVE TO.
WELL, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SEE, IT'S NEVER GOOD FOR
THOMAS TO BE TREATED HARSHLY,
WITHOUT LOVE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT WITH A LIFETIME
WITH THOMAS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF I DIDN'T LAUGH
AT ALMOST EVERYTHING...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT HAS MADE ME
LOSE MY TEMPER,
I WOULD WEEP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, THEN YOU'LL BE
THE FIRST TO UNDERSTAND WHY
I WANT ANOTHER CHANCE WITH TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YES, BUT MRS. DONNERS
SAID THAT... YOU HAD
REACHED AN AGREEMENT,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND THAT YOU FELT
IT WAS BEST FOR HIM
TO LEAVE CARVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE WAS LISTENING TO ME WHILE
I WAS ANGRY. I DON'T THINK
EVEN SHE BELIEVES THAT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I WANT TOM BACK.
I NEED A CHANCE WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MOST PEOPLE JUST WANT TO
GET HIM OUT OF THEIR HAIR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND I FIGURED, WELL,
THIS MAINSTREAM THING...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAS JUST ANOTHER SOMETHING
THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M STARTING AT 5:00.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}PLEASE, DON'T GIVE UP
ON TOM. I'M SORRY.
I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I MEAN, I HAVEN'T
GIVEN UP ON HIM. I'M...
GOING ABOUT IT CLUMSILY,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}BUT I WANTED YOU
TO KNOW THAT I AM
MAKING PROGRESS WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW THAT IF YOU
SEND HIM BACK TO CARVER,
I CAN STILL MAKE THINGS WORK.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}I'M MORE SURE OF IT
NOW THAN EVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OF COURSE, I DON'T WANT TOM
TO COME BACK UNLESS HE WANTS TO.
I DON'T WANT TO FORCE TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, I THINK HE DOES.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WELL, IT'S SATURDAY,
SO THE GYM'S EMPTY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IF TOM WANTS TO,
MAYBE HE AND I CAN
GO OVER THERE FOR A WHILE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}LOOKS LIKE WE GOT
THE PLACE TO OURSELVES.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS PLACE
IS FULL, REAL FULL,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IT GETS KIND OF SCARY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
WHICH WAY I LIKE IT BEST--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}FULL OF PEOPLE, OR...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}JUST QUIET LIKE THIS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW YOU LIKE TO BE ALONE.
SO DO I--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PRIVATE, SO NOBODY
CAN SEE YOU SCREW UP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHY I
COME HERE SOMETIMES...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AT NIGHT OR ON SATURDAY,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO I CAN BE ALL BY MYSELF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO WHAT DO YOU SAY
YOU AND I...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WORK TOGETHER,
BY OURSELVES,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}ONE-ON-ONE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. HAVE A LITTLE FUN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S REAL GOOD, TOMMY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MY NAME IS... THOMAS.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}ALL RIGHT,
THOMAS IT IS.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}I'LL REMEMBER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THOMAS,
YOU PUT THESE ON, OKAY?
{\a1\pos(264,404)}HUSTLE UP, YOU GUYS.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LISTEN, I GOT THE WORD
ON THOSE GUYS FROM SOUTH.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}THEY CAN'T HIT A THING
FROM OUTSIDE THE KEY.
I GET IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SINCE THEY'RE PLAYIN' US, THEY
CAN PROBABLY STAY ON THE BUS
AND STILL SHOOT A HUNDRED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}REALLY-- WHILE THE BUS IS
STILL ON THE HARBOR FREEWAY
GOING SOUTH.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}[ Jackson ]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
FOR YOUR PLEASURE!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER

{\a1\pos(96,460)}- I SAID, PEANUT!
-{\r} [ Boys Laughing ]
{\a1\pos(264,460)}HEY, I SAID, PEANUT!
YEAH! HEY, HEY!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- I SAID, PEANUT!
- [ Boy ] BOY, YOU BETTER
STAY OFF THE NARCOTICS.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}IT LOOKS LIKE GOLDSTEIN.
KILL IT!
SHUT UP.
{\a1\pos(264,404)}HEY, HEY, I SAID--
WHAT IS THAT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S JACKSON'S
BIOLOGY PROJECT. HE WENT
AND CLONED A CAN OF MIXED NUTS.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}[ All Laughing ]
C.J., WHERE'D YOU
GET THAT THING FROM?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Jackson ] I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
SOMEBODY STASHED IT BACK HERE.
[ Laughing Continues ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HEY, WHAT'S THE DEAL, MAN?
YOU LAUGHIN' AT ME?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, YOU PUT IT ON.
IT'S A GOOD FIT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU MEAN, YOU LIKE THAT?
I CAN'T TELL YA
HOW MUCH I HATE IT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}GOOD. WE WERE AFRAID WE'D
HAVE TO BURY YOU IN IT.
GOOD IDEA!
{\a1\pos(180,432)}MAN, WHO THOUGHT UP THIS
PIECE OF UGLY ANYWAY?
YOU GOT ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT MUST BE SOMEBODY'S IDEA OF
A JOKE. PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU
FOUND IT. WE GOT A GAME TO PLAY.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}LET'S GO.
CAN'T I GO
LIKE THIS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- THAT'S THE WAY YOU ALWAYS GO.
- [ Jackson ]
WHAT ABOUT ME, MAN?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Coolidge ]
YOU DONE LOST YOUR MIND, BOY.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HELP ME OUT OF THIS THING!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YES, I AM. YOU KNOW,
IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE
I'VE BEEN TO A BALL GAME.
{\a1\pos(288,432)}OH, REALLY?
I REFUSE TO TELL
THE NUMBER OF YEARS.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}LET'S GO UP HERE.
THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HIGH. THAT'S VERY NICE.
ALL THE WAY--
{\a1\pos(96,432)}[ Laughing ]
I'M SO GLAD YOU
ACCEPTED MY INVITATION.
{\a1\pos(180,432)}I CAN'T PROMISE
WE'RE GONNA WIN THOUGH.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JUST SITTING ON THE BENCH WILL
BE EXCITING ENOUGH FOR THOMAS.
I WANT TO BE SO I CAN SEE HIM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}DON'T WORRY.
HE'LL BE RIGHT DOWN THERE
ON THE BENCH IN FRONT.
{\a1\pos(180,432)}YOU CAN SEE HIM
THROUGH THE WHOLE GAME.
OH, GOOD.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}HI. CAN I JOIN YOU?
OH, THOMAS IS GONNA BE
SO EXCITED THAT YOU CAME.

ALL RIGHT! BEAUTIFUL! PERFECT!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Boys ] ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT!
AM I GONNA HAVE TO DRAG ALL
THESE EGOS INTO THE LOCKER ROOM?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SEE IF WE CAN HANG ON
TO THIS THING.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}COME ON. LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Chattering ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE CAME FROM THE OUTSIDE!
THAT WAS GOLDSTEIN
FOR A CHANGE, BOY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, LOOK. YOU KNOW,
THEY NEED AN APPOINTMENT
WITH THE BASKET EVEN TO SEE IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}CHECK IT OUT. MAYBE WE
SHOULD PRINT UP SOME TICKETS.
GIVE 'EM A CHANCE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT. SETTLE DOWN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}JUST 'CAUSE YOU TOOK 'EM IN
THE FIRST HALF DOESN'T MEAN
YOU GOT A LOCK ON IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SOUTH NEEDS THE LOCK.
WE'RE STEALING THEM BLIND!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOMEZ, IF THEY CATCH ON YOU'RE
SPENDIN' HALF YOUR TIME OUTSIDE
OF THE DEFENSIVE ZONE,
{\a1\pos(264,460)}THEY'RE GONNA SNATCH
YOUR SHORTS OFF YA.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THAT GOES FOR ALL OF YOU.
LET'S DO IT RIGHT FOR ONCE.
{\a1\pos(180,404)}YOU GOT THREE MINUTES.
TROIS MINUTE-UTE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE WINNIN' THIS GAME.
LET'S DO IT.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOIN' RIGHT.
[ Hayward ]
HEY, YOU GUYS. WAIT A MINUTE.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}WHAT DO YOU SAY,
WE GET A BIG LEAD, WE OUGHT
TO PUT THOMAS IN THE GAME.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}WHAT'S HE GONNA DO,
EAT THE BALL?
AW, COME ON. NO.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE COULD DIG JUST
STANDIN' THERE, MAN--
JUST BEIN' THERE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ All Laughing ]
NO, WAIT A SECOND. BESIDES,
IT WILL DRIVE REEVES CRAZY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I'M WITH HAYWARD. IF WE
GET THE GAME OUT OF HAND,
LET'S PUT HIM IN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THAT AIDE OF HIS SAYS
HE CAN SHOOT HIS HEAD OFF
FROM THE FOUL LINE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. YEAH, LET'S GIVE
OUR BOY THOMAS A SHOT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH!
LET'S PLAY!
IT'S TIME FOR THE PROM.
{\a1\pos(309,404)}LET'S DO IT.
HERE WE GO, THOMAS.

DIDN'T HE RUN OUT WITH THE TEAM?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW.
HE WAS IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}OH, MY GOD.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET HIM.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
YOU GO THAT WAY, COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reeves ]
SORRY. SORRY. EXCUSE ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, THOMAS?
THOMAS, THOMAS?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ No Audible Dialogue ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON AND SIT DOWN, GOLDSTEIN.
JUST FOR NOW.

YOU GO WARM UP.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}EXCUSE ME.

{\a1\pos(96,460)}DON'T JUST STAND THERE.
COME ON! HELP ME GET HIM
OUT OF THIS THING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
RIGHT BEHIND THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I MEAN,
I NEVER EXPECTED--
OW!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT HAPPENED SO SOON.
THERE WAS NOTHING
REALLY I COULD DO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}REMEMBER I TOLD YOU WHEN
IT COMES TO THOMAS, IT'S BEST
TO LAUGH WHEN YOU WANT TO CRY?
{\a1\pos(57,432)}THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU.
THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE OUT THERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SHOULD GO FOR MY THROAT.
I WANTED THOMAS BACK.
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO, IT ISN'T.
IT'S THOMAS'S FAULT. IT'S JUST
ANOTHER ONE OF HIS IMPULSES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'VE STOPPED TRYIN' TO FIGURE
IT OUT, AND I SIMPLY ACCEPT IT
AS A PART OF HIS PERSONALITY.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}BUT WHAT DO YOU DO?
I HELP HIM, AND THEN I
FORGET IT EVER HAPPENED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
HELP HIM, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO LEARN TO DO TOO.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}HEY, COACH, COME ON.
YOU WANNA FORFEIT?
UH, YEAH-- UH, NO.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Crowd Cheering ]
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WAY TO FOLLOW THE BOARDS
OUT THERE, BIG WARREN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS
ARE DOIN' OUT THERE,
BUT WHATEVER IT IS, KEEP IT UP.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT
WITH THESE CLOWNS.
TODAY I JUST MAY BELIEVE YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}I THINK YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
HEY, WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE PUT THOMAS IN THEN?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH!
YEAH!
THAT'S CUTE, HAYWARD.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}WE GOTTA SIT ON THE BALL
FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES--
[ Goldstein ] WE MEAN IT.
{\a1\pos(120,432)}LET'S PUT THOMAS IN.
THAT'S ENOUGH. WE'VE ALREADY
HAD ONE DISASTER TODAY.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WE'RE UP BY 28 POINTS. WHEN IS
THAT EVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN?
YOU'VE GOT A POINT.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}ALL HE'S GOTTA DO
IS STAND THERE.
RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIS MAMA?
WE'LL WAIT.
BOY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I KNOW THIS IS CRAZY,
BUT MY TEAM WANTS ME
TO PUT THOMAS IN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, THAT'S VERY NICE,
BUT THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.
{\a1\pos(369,460)}[ Cheering ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Goldstein ]
SHOOT THE BALL, THOMAS.
SHOOT THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}SHOOT, THOMAS, SHOOT.
SHOOT THE BALL, THOMAS.
GO AHEAD, SHOOT THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Goldstein ]
SHOOT THE BALL, THOMAS.
SHOOT THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HAAH!
A WONDERFUL JOB,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT THE BASKETBALL TEAM IS
NO PLACE FOR A CRIPPLED KID.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}TOM IS NOT A CRIPPLE!
HE HAS DIFFICULTY...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WITH SOCIAL INTERRELATION
AND EXTERNAL ATTENTION.
{\a1\pos(162,432)}THAT'S ALL.
"THAT'S ALL"? I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT TO WARN YOU--
I MEAN, I WANT TO INFORM YOU
ABOUT A NEW MEMBER OF THIS TEAM.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WELL, I HOPE IT'S
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR,
'CAUSE WE SURE NEED HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M AFRAID I'LL DO SOMETHING
TO MAKE THE KID WORSE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}COME ON, KID.
CATCH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}CATCH THE BALL!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Salami ] OKAY.

{\a1\pos(180,460)}WARREN? OH, WARREN,
TIME TO EAT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}GET UP, OR I'LL
BREAK YOUR LEGS.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}TODAY I WANT TO WORK
ON MAKING THE PASS.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SOME OF YOU GUYS
ONLY SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
WHEN IT COMES TO GIRLS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT TO DEMONSTRATE
THE ONE-BOUNCE PASS. I NEED
HAYWARD, JACKSON AND GOLDSTEIN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOLDSTEIN AND JACKSON ON "D."
I'M BRINGING THE BALL UP.
{\a1\pos(180,404)}I GOT THE COACH.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}THAT{\r} IS A PASS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TODAY WE'RE GONNA WORK
ON MAKING THE PASS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TOMORROW WE'LL WORK ON
CATCHING IT UNDER CONTROL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOT IT? I WANT TO SEE
A PASSING-DRILL FORMATION,
TWO LINES. LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON, COME ON!
WHAT'S WITH YOU GUYS?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}EASTSIDE 64, CARVER 53.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SAN PEDRO 71, CARVER 40.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}I MEAN, SHOULD I CONTINUE?
THAT'S ALL THAT'S BOTHERING
YOU GUYS-- A LOSING STREAK?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COACH, DIDN'T YOU SEE
THE BLEACHERS AT THE LAST GAME?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- YEAH, SO?
- SO THAT'S THE POINT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHEN WE'RE WINNING
YOU CAN'T{\r} SEE THE BLEACHERS,
'CAUSE THERE'S PEOPLE IN THEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOU GUYS?
YOU'RE A BUNCH OF CRYBABIES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PART OF BEING A GOOD TEAM
IS LEARNING HOW TO HANDLE
LOSING STREAKS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITHOUT-- I REPEAT--
WITHOUT FEELING SORRY
FOR YOURSELVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}END OF THE PEP TALK.
NOW, I WANT TO SEE SOME LIFE.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHEN DID ALL THIS START?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MAINSTREAMING HAS BEEN
FEDERAL LAW SINCE 1975,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}BUT IT'S ONLY RECENTLY
AFFECTED CARVER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, THE IDEA IS TO WORK
DISABLED STUDENTS INTO
NORMAL STUDENT POPULATIONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE DISABILITY CAN BE PHYSICAL
OR A LEARNING DISABILITY
LIKE AUTISM, AND SO FORTH.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WHAT'S THE PROCESS?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}VERY SIMPLY, YOU MAY BE
ASSIGNED A DISABLED STUDENT
AS YOU WOULD BE ANY OTHER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY ATTEND HERE PART OF THE
DAY. YOU WORK WITH THEM RIGHT
THROUGH YOUR NORMAL CURRICULUM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
SEE MRS. SIMPSON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE IS CONDUCTING THE PROGRAM
THROUGH HER GUIDANCE OFFICE.
OKAY?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}UNLESS THERE'S ANY
NEW BUSINESS, THAT'S IT.
WAIT A MINUTE. I GOT SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ All Grumbling ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHY DO YOU THINK I SAT
THROUGH 40 MINUTES OF THIS?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}KEEP YOUR MIND OFF YOUR LOSING
STREAK MAYBE? [ Chuckles ]
I DON'T KNOW,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE IN
THIS SCHOOL WANTS TO FORGET IT,
AND I NEED SOME HELP.
{\a1\pos(78,432)}YOU?
YEAH. SO I THOUGHT I'D JUST
COME RIGHT OUT AND ASK FOR IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}GIVE EVERYBODY
A LITTLE TREAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, I KNOW SOME OF YOU TEACHERS
HAVE MEMBERS OF MY TEAM
IN YOUR CLASSES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU PROBABLY NOTICED
THEY'RE BEHAVING EVEN MORE
LIKE ZOMBIES THAN USUAL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY'VE LOST
ALL THEIR OOMPH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW
WHETHER ANYBODY IN THIS SCHOOL
CARES WHETHER THEY WIN OR LOSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAS ANYBODY HERE
EVER HEARD OF SOMETHIN'
CALLED "SCHOOL SPIRIT"?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}SINCE PROPOSITION 13, WE'VE HAD
TO TRIM IT OUT OF THE BUDGET.
[ Laughs ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JUST BECAUSE WE'RE IN A
DEPRESSED NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T
MEAN WE{\r} HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
PARADES, PEP RALLIES?
- WE'VE NEVER HAD A PEP RALLY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'VE NEVER HAD ANY PEP!
THE CHEERLEADERS HARDLY CHEER!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}THEY'RE EMBARRASSED.
[ Willis ]
REEVES IS RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF THIS SCHOOL IS GOING
TO HAVE A BASKETBALL TEAM,
WE SHOULD SUPPORT IT.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}YEAH.
HAVEN'T WE GOT ENOUGH
TO WORRY ABOUT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE'RE TEACHERS, PROFESSIONALS.
I MEAN, WHO CARES ABOUT
PEP RALLIES?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU JUST SPENT THE WHOLE MEETING
ON THE MAINSTREAMING PROGRAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, I THINK THAT'S
A WONDERFUL PROJECT.
BUT YOU'RE TEACHERS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOU TO HELP
HANDICAPPED STUDENTS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT WHY DON'T YOU USE A LITTLE
BIT OF THE SAME ENERGY TO BRING
SOME SPIRIT INTO THE SCHOOL?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT'S A PRETTY SPEECH,
AND FINE FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT YOU'RE A COACH,
AND NOBODY IS GONNA ASSIGN YOU A
CRIPPLED STUDENT TO MAINSTREAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PLEASE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
SCHOOL SPIRIT. NOW, WHAT'D YOU
HAVE IN MIND, KEN?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THOUGHT WE COULD START SMALL--
ENCOURAGE THE KIDS TO COME OUT
TO THE GAMES.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}MAYBE WE COULD START
BY GETTING OURSELVES
A SCHOOL MASCOT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I LIKE IT. WHY NOT?
YOU MEAN, A MASCOT THAT
YOU HAVE AT ALL THE GAMES?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE
SOME SORT OF COSTUME MADE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, MY ART CLASS
NEEDS A LITTLE PROJECT.
WE'LL DREAM UP SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GREAT. I APPRECIATE THAT.
THAT'LL REALLY HELP ME TO
TURN THESE KIDS INTO WINNERS.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}AH, WINNING
ISN'T EVERYTHING.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Sighs ]
WORDS TO LIVE BY,
MRS. SIMPSON. THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YEAH. WELL, UH, FINE.
IF ALL THAT'S SETTLED,
I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}UH, COACH REEVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COACH REEVES? COULD I
SPEAK WITH YOU A MINUTE?
{\a1\pos(36,432)}YEAH, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING
THE MAINSTREAM ASSIGNMENTS HERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND THERE'S A STUDENT
I WOULD LIKE TO ASSIGN
TO YOUR BASKETBALL PROGRAM.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IT'S NOT
A BASKETBALL PROGRAM,
IT'S A BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Chuckles ]
PROGRAM, TEAM,
IT'S THE SAME THING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ANYWAY, PART OF MY JOB
IS TO FIND...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}INTERESTED FACULTY MEMBERS
WHO WOULD WORK WITH
THESE YOUNGSTERS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND THERE'S A BOY THAT
I THINK WOULD BE JUST
PERFECT FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WEREN'T YOU LISTENING
TO WHAT I WAS SAYING
IN THE FACULTY MEETING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MY TEAM'S IN THE BASEMENT. WE'RE
ON A LOSING STREAK. THEY'RE
LOSING FAITH IN THEMSELVES.
{\a1\pos(264,404)}I GOT PROBLEMS.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SEE, THIS SITUATION
IS JUST TAILOR-MADE FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE GYM LATELY?
I GOT 12 BASKET CASES ON MY
HANDS. I DON'T NEED ONE MORE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Reeves, Indistinct ]
COME ON.
{\a1\pos(180,432)}COME ON.
COME ON, THORPE.
GET OVER THERE.
{\a1\pos(264,404)}ONE MORE, ONE MORE.
GET A REBOUND.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Overlapping Chatter ]
{\a1\pos(12,404)}AW, COME ON!
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
{\a1\pos(99,432)}I'M SORRY!
[ Reeves ] GOLDSTEIN, WILL YA
MISS? WE ALL WANT TO GO HOME!
{\a1\pos(432,404)}LET'S GO!
GO!
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
ALL RIGHT, BIG WARREN.
THAT'S IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ENOUGH
FOR TODAY. DO YOUR LAPS
AND HIT THE SHOWERS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Jackson ]
YOU STINK, YOU STINK.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THE BOYS'S LOCKER ROOM.
YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}OH, THAT'S FINE.
WE CAN TALK HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}NOW, LOOK, I'M NOT
CHANGING MY MIND.
WHY NOT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I GOT MORE PROBLEMS
WITH THESE ANIMALS
THAN I CAN HANDLE AS IT IS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T THINK ASSIGNING
A KID IN A WHEELCHAIR
TO THE BASKETBALL TEAM'S...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GONNA DO ANYBODY ANY GOOD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, I THINK THE MAINSTREAMING
PROGRAM IS WONDERFUL. I'M SURE
YOU'RE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}BUT THE BASKETBALL TEAM IS
NO PLACE FOR A CRIPPLED KID.
TOM IS NOT A CRIPPLE!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I WOULDN'T ASSIGN
A WHEELCHAIR-BOUND STUDENT
TO AN AMBULATORY SPORT.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}TOM IS AUTISTIC.
HE HAS DIFFICULTY...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WITH SOCIAL INTERRELATION
AND EXTERNALIZED ATTENTION.
{\a1\pos(162,432)}THAT'S ALL.
"THAT'S ALL"? I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LET ME READ YOU SOME COMMENTS
FROM THE SPECIAL-EDUCATION
TEACHERS AT BRONSON SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}"TOM HAS REALLY ADJUSTED
TO GROUP ACTIVITY...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}"AND SHOWS HIS
STRONGEST DEVELOPMENT
IN OUR BASKETBALL GAMES.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}YEAH.
HE LEADS HIS TEAM--"
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH.
THANKS, BUT NO THANKS.
BUT YOU'RE AN ATHLETE!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WANT TO
HELP HANDICAPPED CHILDREN!
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE
UNITED WAY COMMERCIALS
I SEE ALL THE TIME?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
WHY ARE YOU BUGGIN' ME?
YOU STOPPED ME IN THE HALLWAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU ASKED ME. I SAID NO. YOU
CAME DOWN TO THE GYM. YOU ASKED
ME AGAIN. AGAIN, I SAID NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW YOU'RE LEAVIN' NOTES
ON MY BLACKBOARD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT'S NEXT?
THREATENING PHONE CALLS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
{\a1\pos(264,460)}SHH! THERE'S NO NEED
TO GET EXCITED.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT EXCITED?
WHO'S EXCITED?
PLEASE. HE'LL HEAR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHO'S GONNA HEAR ME?
[ Sighs ]
TOM HENDRICKS.
{\a1\pos(141,432)}HE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM.
YOU KNOW, I GET THE FEELING
YOU'RE TRYING TO SET ME UP.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}I JUST THOUGHT IF
YOU'D MEET HIM--
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF I MEET HIM, WILL YOU
PROMISE TO LEAVE ME ALONE
AND DROP IT?
{\a1\pos(432,404)}ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(516,460)}TOM,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
COACH REEVES.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}COME HERE.
THIS ISN'T A ZOO.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}COACH REEVES,
PLEASE MEET
TOM HENDRICKS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HI, TOM.
HOW'RE YA DOIN'?
{\a1\pos(264,404)}WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M LEAVING.
{\a1\pos(120,432)}BUT-BUT WHAT ABOUT TOM?
I'M SORRY. I CANNOT PUT THAT
KID ON MY BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MAYBE I CAN WORK
WITH HIM SOME WEEKENDS,
SOMETHING UNOFFICIAL, BUT--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YEAH, BUT THE WHOLE IDEA
ABOUT MAINSTREAMING
IS TO PUT THE CHILD...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}INTO A NORMAL SCHOOL
FOR PART OF EVERY DAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}OH, THIS IS TERRIBLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO NOW.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}AREN'T YOU OVERREACTING
JUST A LITTLE BIT?
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I-- I'VE ALREADY
TALKED TO TOM ABOUT YOU,
AND I'VE TOLD HIS MOTHER,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND TOLD THEM HOW INVOLVED
YOU GET WITH THE PLAYERS,
AND HOW GOOD YOU'D BE FOR TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I ALREADY TOLD THEM
YOU'D TAKE HIM.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Door Opens, Closes ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OF ALL THE BUREAUCRATIC--
YOU TALK ABOUT ME
OVERSTEPPING MY{\r} BOUNDS.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Sybil ]
SHE CLEARLY OVERSTEPPED
HER AUTHORITY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW I KNOW WHY SHE'S BEEN
DOGGING ME FOR TWO DAYS.
SHE PUT HER FOOT IN HER MOUTH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- NOW SHE WANTS ME
TO BAIL HER OUT.
- WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}SHE'LL GET A FORMAL REPRIMAND.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOU KNOW WHAT
KIND OF A BIND THIS PUTS ME IN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SHE WAS WRONG.
BUT AREN'T WE REALLY
TALKING ABOUT THE BOY?
{\a1\pos(264,460)}MAYBE YOU CAN
WORK WITH HIM, KEN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, LOOK. I COULD REALLY DO
SOMETHIN' WRONG AND SCREW UP
A KID LIKE THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU.
EVER SINCE YOU GOT HERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'VE BEEN STICKING YOUR NOSE
INTO THE PERSONAL PROBLEMS
OF EVERY KID ON YOUR TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE
TO HELP A KID AS A LEGITIMATE
PART OF YOUR JOB--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S DIFFERENT. WITH THOSE
KIDS, I PUSH 'EM AROUND A LITTLE
BIT, AND THEY'LL STRAIGHTEN OUT.
{\a1\pos(180,404)}BUT THIS KID'S GOT--
A REAL PROBLEM.
{\a1\pos(516,460)}YEAH!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SO YOU WANT ME TO PUT
THIS KID WITH A REAL PROBLEM
IN WITH JACKSON AND HAYWARD?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IN THE FIRST PLACE,
THE BOY WAS ASSIGNED TO YOU,
NOT THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO DO WITH HIM?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I THINK MAYBE
YOU'RE AFRAID, KEN.
AFRAID?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}UH, OKAY-- UPSET.
DISABILITIES ARE UPSETTING.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}IT'S ONLY NATURAL.
[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, THEY MAKE US REALIZE
HOW VULNERABLE WE ARE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}AS AN ATHLETE, YOU'RE STRIVING
FOR PHYSICAL PERFECTION.
DON'T TRY TO PSYCH ME OUT, DOC.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
WHAT I MEAN IS,
I'VE MET TOM HENDRICKS,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}AND PUTTING HIM
ON MY BASKETBALL TEAM
IS A BIG MISTAKE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE KID'S LOST IN HIS OWN WORLD,
AND IF YOU PUT HIM
ON THE TEAM...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL
I CAN'T PLAY HIM,
HE'LL JUST FEEL LEFT OUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- NOW WHO'S TRYING TO DO
THE PSYCHING OUT?
- WELL, I CAN'T MAINSTREAM HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'VE ALREADY DONE
WHAT AMOUNTS TO MAINSTREAMING
A WHOLE TEAM OF MISFITS.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}YEAH, BUT THEY DON'T
HAVE HIS PROBLEMS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE HAS GOT TO BE
SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE
YOU CAN DO WITH TOM. NOW, LOOK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IN MATH, THERE'S
A LEGALLY BLIND BOY WHO CAN
SEE WITH AN OVERHEAD PROJECTOR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IN SHOP, MR. BURNS COMPLAINS,
BUT HE HAS BUILT...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}A SPECIAL WORKBENCH
FOR A BOY IN A WHEELCHAIR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT IS UP TO YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IT'S YOUR DECISION.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT,
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE WHOLE IDEA WOULD BE TO
TREAT HIM LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOBODY WOULD EXPECT FOR YOU
TO PLAY HIM IN A GAME,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND NO ONE WOULD EXPECT
ANY MIRACLES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,
I'M LEANIN' THE OTHER WAY,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}AND I DON'T LIKE BEING
BULLDOZED INTO ANYTHING.
{\a1\pos(369,460)}[ Door Slams ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Mrs. Simpson ]
OH, MR. REEVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COACH REEVES, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET MRS. HENDRICKS,
TOM'S MOTHER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HELPING THOMAS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HE'S SO EXCITED ABOUT
BEING ON THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(285,460)}AREN'T YOU?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}EVERYBODY TELLS ME
SUCH NICE THINGS ABOUT YOU--
HOW YOU HELP PEOPLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
I THINK THOMAS IS VERY LUCKY
TO HAVE YOU WORKING WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}HE'S A FINE
BASKETBALL PLAYER.
THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, THE BUS IS WAITING.
IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE MET YOU.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}- BYE.
- GOOD-BYE.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}I JUST COULDN'T
TELL THEM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}OH, MAN, I DON'T EVEN FEEL
LIKE PRACTICIN' TODAY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HEY, HOW DO YOU EXPECT
TO GET BETTER IF YOU
DON'T PRACTICE, JACKSON?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ABNER, SHUT UP.
{\a1\pos(183,432)}THANKS, MO.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GETTIN'
TEED OFF AT ME FOR?
{\a1\pos(264,460)}I'M JUST TRYING TO
PUMP SOME NEW LIFE
INTO THIS TEAM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IF YOU DON'T KNOCK IT OFF,
THIS TEAM MAY LOSE A LIFE,
AND IT MAY BE YOURS.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}[ Scattered Chuckles ]
UH, LISTEN UP, YOU GUYS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BEFORE WE GO OUT ON THE COURT,
THERE'S AN ANNOUNCEMENT
I WANT TO MAKE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT TO WARN YOU--
I MEAN, I WANT TO INFORM YOU...
{\a1\pos(12,432)}ABOUT A NEW MEMBER OF THIS TEAM.
[ Gomez ]
I DON'T SEE ANYBODY NEW.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WELL, HE'LL BE AT PRACTICE
THIS AFTERNOON.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WELL, I HOPE IT'S
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR,
'CAUSE WE SURE NEED HIM.
{\a1\pos(201,432)}[ Scattered Chuckles ]
NO, IT'S NOT
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, IN CASE YOU'RE
NOT AWARE OF IT,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THERE'S BEEN AN INFLUX
OF HANDICAPPED STUDENTS
IN THIS SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AWARE OF IT? MAN, I'M EXPECTIN'
JERRY LEWIS TO COME THROUGH
THAT DOOR ANY MINUTE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ All Laughing ]
IF I HEAR ANYMORE TALK LIKE THAT
FROM ANYBODY AROUND HERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY'RE GOIN' THROUGH A WALL!
{\a1\pos(117,460)}NOW, THESE KIDS
ARE PART OF A PROGRAM
CALLED "MAINSTREAMING."
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO FIT IN
WITH THE REGULAR STUDENTS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ONE OF THESE KIDS HAS BEEN
ASSIGNED TO OUR BASKETBALL TEAM.
HIS NAME IS TOM HENDRICKS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HEY, COACH,
I HOPE HE'S NOT DEFORMED
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}NO, HE'S NOT DEFORMED.
HE LOOKS JUST LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- WELL, WHAT IS IT? I MEAN,
IS HE BLIND OR SOMETHING?
- YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- HE'S AUTISTIC.
- [ Coolidge ]
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS,
BUT I SURE DON'T LIKE
THE WAY IT SOUNDS.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}WELL, I'M NOT SURE
WHAT IT MEANS EITHER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}BUT THE WAY IT'S BEEN
EXPLAINED TO ME,
AN AUTISTIC PERSON...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IS SOMEONE WHO HAS
A HARD TIME RELATING
TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THEY LIVE IN
A KIND OF A DREAM WORLD--
VERY WITHDRAWN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- HMM. SOUNDS LIKE HAYWARD.
- [ Laughing ]
{\a1\pos(117,460)}NOW, LOOK. THIS IS NO JOKE.
I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS
MAKIN' FUN OF THIS KID.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE'S GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS
WITHOUT YOU MAKIN' THINGS
WORSE FOR HIM.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}WELL, CAN HE
PLAY BASKETBALL?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Sighs ]
HAYWARD, I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS KID CAN TIE HIS SHOELACES.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NOW, LOOK, I WANT EVERYTHING
THE SAME AROUND HERE--
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NO CHANGE IN ROUTINE,
NOTHING DIFFERENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHEN HE GETS HERE,
I WANT YOU TO TREAT HIM
JUST AS YOU WOULD ANYONE ELSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAIT, ON SECOND THOUGHT,
IF YOU TREAT HIM LIKE YOU DO
EVERYONE ELSE, I'LL KILL YA.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}COME ON. LET'S HURRY UP.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}[ Thorpe ]
OH, BOY.
{\a1\pos(285,460)}YEAH. ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reeves ] ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, COME ON. LET'S GO.
KEEP YOUR MIND ON YOUR BUSINESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HELLO, TOM.
WELCOME TO THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NEW BEGINNINGS ARE ALWAYS
SO EXCITING, I THINK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH! I-I SHOULD INTRODUCE
YOU TWO. UH, MARSHA DONNERS,
THIS IS COACH KEN REEVES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MARSHA IS TOM'S
FULL-TIME AIDE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE'S ASSIGNED BY
THE SPECIAL-EDUCATION PEOPLE
TO HELP TOM WHEN HE'S HERE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HOW DO YOU DO, MR. REEVES?
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE
WORKING WITH YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IT'S ALSO A NEW EXPERIENCE
FOR ME MAINSTREAMING
IN BASKETBALL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, COACH REEVES
IS A WONDERFUL LEADER,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}JUST WONDERFUL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I DON'T WANT
TO BE UNDERFOOT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Boy ] YEAH! ALL RIGHT.
I GUESS I'LL GET OUT
OF THE WAY TOO.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}NOW, TOM, YOU DO
EVERYTHING THAT MR.--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}COACH REEVES TELLS YOU
TO DO, ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OKAY, TOM, LET'S HEAD OUT
ON THE COURT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Boy ]
AAHH! EMBARRASSING.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT'S HE DOING THAT FOR?
DIDN'T YOU HEAR
WHAT THE COACH SAID?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE LIVES IN
HIS OWN WORLD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT. COME ON, GUYS.
LET'S GO ON WITH THE DRILL. WE
GOT A GAME THIS WEEK. LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Clapping ]
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Reeves ]
COME ON, COME ON.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Clears Throat ]
{\a1\pos(12,404)}ANY SUGGESTIONS?
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THIS IS TYPICAL BEHAVIOR.
JUST KEEP WORKING WITH HIM.
BE PATIENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, WELL, LOOK.
I'VE GOT TO GET MY TEAM
DOWN TO WORK SOMETIME,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO IF YOU COULD JUST
GIVE ME SOME SORT OF
AN IDEA OF HOW LONG...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'VE GOT TO BE PATIENT WITH TOM
TILL HE GETS WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(264,404)}YOU JUST STARTED.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Clears Throat ]
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THIS GUY TOM'S
GOT ONE ORIGINAL ACT--
MIGHTY ORIGINAL.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH, BUT WHAT IF HE
TRIES THAT DURING A GAME?
[ Snickers ]
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WE'LL JUST SEND HIM IN
FOR GOLDSTEIN. [ Laughing ]
[ Laughing ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Thorpe ] YEAH, I GOT
MY BOY TOM HERE FIGURED TO BE
SOME KIND OF SECRET AGENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reese ]
OH, MIGHTY SECRET AGENT, BLOOD.
MIGHTY SECRET.
{\a1\pos(78,432)}[ Laughing ]
COME ON, MAN. DON'T Y'ALL KNOW
A HUSTLE WHEN Y'ALL SEE ONE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DOES THIS MEAN IF WE PUT DOWN
A TEN SPOT, BLOOD, HE'LL START
TALKING LIKE A PROFESSIONAL?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COOL IT?
THE BOY CAN HEAR EVERYTHING
YOU'RE SAYIN' TO HIM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU HEARD WHAT REEVES SAID.
THE GUY'S AUTISTIC.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}HE LIVES IN A DREAM WORLD.
YEAH, PROBABLY THE SAME ONE
AS YOUR SEX LIFE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE'S SITTIN' ON MY SHIRT.
HOW AM I GONNA GET IT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU GET IT BACK THE SAME WAY
AS YOU GET IT FROM ME.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU SAY, "MR. HENDRICKS,
MAY I PLEASE HAVE
MY SHIRT BACK?"
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON. YOU GUYS WANNA
LEAN ON SOMEBODY, LEAN ON
SOMEBODY WHO CAN TAKE IT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}OH, CALM DOWN, MAN.
I THINK HE'S TAKIN' IT
PRETTY GOOD.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YEAH, JUST BECAUSE
TOM'S GOT A COOL HEAD
ON HIS SHOULDERS...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}DOESN'T MEAN HE'S LETTIN'
HIMSELF GET WALKED ON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, GOMEZ SAID IT, MAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF TOM WANTS TO HANG IN HERE,
HEY, WE'RE GONNA TREAT HIM
JUST LIKE WE DO EACH OTHER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YEAH, RIGHT.
TOM'S HERE TO MAINSTREAM,
RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(96,432)}WELL, WE'RE THE MAIN STREAM.
IF WE'RE THE MAIN STREAM,
THEN THIS IS ONE ROUGH RIVER.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YOU HAVEN'T SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT THE FOOD.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}OH, UH, IT'S GOOD.
HEY, IT'S NOT EVERY DAY YOUR
SISTER AGREES TO COME OVER...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND MAKE HER FAMOUS
HUNGARIAN GOULASH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M SORRY.

I'LL DO SOMETHING
TO MAKE THE KID WORSE.
{\a1\pos(348,404)}THAT'S SILLY.
OH, YEAH?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN HOW COME EVERYBODY TELLS ME
THAT THE KID USED TO PLAY
BASKETBALL AT HIS OLD SCHOOL,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND WITH ME HE ACTS
LIKE HE'S NEVER EVEN SEEN
A BASKETBALL BEFORE?

THAT THING AND I FREEZE.

DAMN IT!
{\a1\pos(180,432)}WHAT ARE YOU, A MADMAN?
DON'T GIVE ME THAT NOISE.
YOU SAW HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE IS NOT ONE OF YOUR REGULAR
GORILLAS. THIS IS NOT A GAME
WHERE YOU RANT ABOUT THE SCORE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW THAT. SUPPOSE YOU
TELL TOM. HE'S PROBABLY
READY FOR REVERSE LAYUPS!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU TEACH HIM IF YOU THINK
IT'S SUCH A HOT IDEA!
NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO, I THINK THIS IS A MISTAKE.
SOMEHOW I JUST KNEW
YOU WOULD BLOW IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU HAVE ALL THE SUBTLETIES
OF A DROP-FORGE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, HOW ABOUT THAT?
I GUESS I WOKE HIM UP.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Sighs ]
WHAT AN EGO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE DOES THAT
ALL DAY LONG AT BRONSON.
THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S BY HIMSELF.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}THAT'S AUTISM.
YEAH, THAT'S A LOT
OF PROFESSIONAL BULL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING
UNTIL I BLEW UP AT HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'RE LUCKY HE DIDN'T WITHDRAW
COMPLETELY. YOU DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
{\a1\pos(141,432)}THAT'S TOM BY HIMSELF.
I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S WORKING,
BUT I DON'T.
THAT'S WHAT HE'S GONNA GET...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}UNLESS YOU CAN COME UP
WITH SOMETHING BETTER.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}YEAH, I DO
HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I AM GOING TO TAKE HIM
OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S GREAT.
IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU FEEL,
YOU TAKE HIM. HE'S YOURS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I OUGHT TO PUT A LOCK
ON THAT DOOR.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I HEARD.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT I FLOGGED

{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, KNOWING YOU,

ANYTHING BUT SIMPLE.

{\a1\pos(264,460)}WELL, I'M NOT HERE
TO CONFESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I NEED SOME ANSWERS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I SPENT TWO DAYS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WORKING JUST TO FORCE MYSELF
TO TRY WITH TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Sighs ]
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH THE KID.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ONE MINUTE HE'D BE STANDING
IN THE CORNER ALONE BY HIMSELF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE NEXT MINUTE HE'D BE RUNNING
AROUND WITH THE BASKETBALL UNDER
HIS ARM LIKE A FOOTBALL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN HE'D BE HUGGING IT
LIKE A TEDDY BEAR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S NOT THAT I DIDN'T
WANT TO HELP HIM,
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SYBIL, I TELL YA,
IT'S BREAKIN' MY HEART.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}IS OR WAS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IS! I CAN'T QUIT NOW,

{\a1\pos(264,460)}ON THE GROUNDS
OF INCOMPATIBILITY
OR SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WHAT CAN YOU DO?
YOU CAN'T FIGHT IT.
SHE'S THE EXPERT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, YEAH?
WELL, SHE'S NOT BEING FAIR
TO TOM OR TO ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE SAW ONE THING
AND REFUSED TO SEE THE OTHER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW I'M NOT AN EXPERT.
SHE NEVER LET ME FORGET
THAT I'M JUST A COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT ISN'T THAT WHY TOM'S HERE?
TO GET AWAY FROM THE EXPERTS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO DEAL WITH THAT ARGUMENT.
YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU DID.
{\a1\pos(57,432)}YOU MUST THINK YOU'VE
MADE SOME PROGRESS.
I HAVE. I MEAN, I THINK I HAVE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AT LEAST I'VE ACTUALLY GOTTEN
HIM STARTED PLAYING BASKETBALL,
NOT JUST PLAYING WITH THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}UH, YOU FORGOT THE PART
ABOUT YOUR TEMPER TANTRUM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BELIEVE ME,
I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.
IT WAS STUPID, I KNOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED,
HE'D GO INTO HIS
WOODEN INDIAN ACT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO I BLEW UP AT HIM,
AND MAYBE THAT'S WHAT
DID THE TRICK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
MAYBE EVERYONE'S JUST BEEN TOO
PATIENT WITH TOM FOR TOO LONG.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SHE SAYS HE DOES FINE
AT HIS REGULAR SCHOOL--
{\a1\pos(12,432)}PLAYS BASKETBALL AND EVERYTHING
WITHOUT BEING BROWBEATEN.
BUT THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T SEE WHY IT'S SO GOOD
THAT HE STAYS BACK THERE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PERFECTLY ADJUSTED,
HAPPY AS A LARK,
BUT STILL SAFE BACK THERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WASN'T THAT THE POINT
OF HIS COMING TO CARVER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TO FIND OUT THAT LIFE IS FULL
OF CRAZY, MEAN COACHES LIKE ME,
SO HE COULD GET USED TO US?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WELL, I CERTAINLY HOPE
THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY MORE
OF YOU AROUND,
{\a1\pos(264,460)}OR WE'LL ALL HAVE TO
GO OFF AND HIDE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH JOKES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I JUST WANT TO KNOW ONE THING.
CAN I GET TOM BACK TO CARVER?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MY ADVICE IS TO DROP IT.
IT'S OVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT HIM BACK.
JUST TELL ME HOW TO DO IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Sighs ] OKAY.

IS CONVINCE MRS. HENDRICKS.

I KNOW YOU'LL NEVER
CONVINCE MARSHA DONNERS.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}SHE THINKS

ENOUGH FOR HIM.

ABOUT THAT PLACE?

{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY SAID THAT COACH REEVES WAS
HERE. I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHERE
TO PUT THE NEW MASCOT COSTUME.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}OH, UH, YEAH, THE COSTUME.
YOU BETTER PUT IT
IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}I'M ALL WRAPPED UP
WITH SOMETHIN' RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}YOU WERE SAYING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, THE BRONSON SCHOOL.
YOU THINK MAYBE I COULD
GET SOME ANSWERS THERE?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IF YOU SERIOUSLY WANT
TO GET TOM BACK HERE,
{\a1\pos(264,460)}I THINK YOU'D BETTER
FIND OUT.

{\a1\pos(180,460)}I'M, UH--
I'M SORRY THAT THOMAS
IS BACK HERE FULL-TIME.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}HEH! HE WAS MY FIRST
TO BE MAINSTREAMED.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}ARE, UH, ALL OF YOUR
STUDENTS LIKE THOMAS?
AUTISTIC?
{\a1\pos(78,432)}YEAH.
NO. NO, I HAVE SEVERAL WHO
ARE LABELED MENTALLY RETARDED,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND A NUMBER OF KIDS WHO ARE
NOT RETARDED BUT WHO HAVE
LEARNING DISABILITIES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DO ALL THESE STUDENTS
GET MAINSTREAMED?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, UM, THE LAW IS OPEN
TO DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS,
SO YOU GET MIXED OPINIONS.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}AH.
AS FAR AS TOM IS CONCERNED,
I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}HE HAS TO JUMP
INTO LIFE SOMETIME.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT DO YOU THINK WENT WRONG?
MISUNDERSTANDINGS,
MORE OR LESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN
HE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE TEAM,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WAS TOLD THAT TOM HAD
PLAYED BASKETBALL BEFORE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SURE, HE PLAYED HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I-- I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY HOW TO PUT THIS,
BUT IS IT REAL BASKETBALL?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}COME ON. I'LL SHOW YOU.
YOU CAN JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M SORRY THINGS WORKED OUT
THE WAY THEY DID.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL TOM'S BEEN ABLE
TO TALK ABOUT IS
YOU AND YOUR TEAM,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BASKETBALL.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE DIDN'T TALK AT CARVER.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}HE ACTED LIKE
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT A BASKETBALL WAS.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU WORRIED IT WAS
SOMETHING YOU DID?
YEAH, YOU COULD SAY THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WOULDN'T. YOU OBVIOUSLY MADE
A BIG IMPRESSION ON TOMMY--
FOR THE GOOD, I THINK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE'S PLAYING THIS MORNING.
HE'S JUST...
SHY EVERY NOW AND THEN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AS FOR WHAT HAPPENED AT CARVER,
THAT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE NEW ENVIRONMENT CAUSED HIM
TO WITHDRAW MORE THAN USUAL,
RIGHT FROM THE FIRST DAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'D LIKE FOR HIM TO GO BACK,
SO HE CAN GET OVER THIS THING.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND IF HE DOES,
TRY WORKING WITH HIM
ONE-ON-ONE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IT'S THE TECHNIQUE
WE USE HERE.
IT WORKS FOR TOM.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}ONE-ON-ONE, HUH?
WELL, I HOPE I GET
THE CHANCE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Doorbell Rings ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, COACH REEVES!

{\a1\pos(12,460)}I HOPE IT'S NOT INCONVENIENT
FOR YOU, BUT I DIDN'T WANT
ANY MORE TIME TO GO BY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE'VE NEVER REALLY
TALKED BEFORE,
AND THAT WAS A MISTAKE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}'CAUSE IF WE HAD,
YOU'D KNOW HOW MUCH
I'VE TRIED WITH TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THINGS WERE JUST
STARTING TO CLICK.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Chuckles ]
WELL, "STARTING TO CLICK"
ISN'T EXACTLY THE WAY...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MRS. DONNERS PUT IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WELL, TO TELL YA, I...
REALLY DON'T SEE ANYTHING
FUNNY ABOUT ALL THIS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Chuckles ]
WELL, YOU SHOULD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I HAVE TO.
WELL, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SEE, IT'S NEVER GOOD FOR
THOMAS TO BE TREATED HARSHLY,
WITHOUT LOVE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT WITH A LIFETIME
WITH THOMAS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF I DIDN'T LAUGH
AT ALMOST EVERYTHING...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT HAS MADE ME
LOSE MY TEMPER,
I WOULD WEEP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, THEN YOU'LL BE
THE FIRST TO UNDERSTAND WHY
I WANT ANOTHER CHANCE WITH TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YES, BUT MRS. DONNERS
SAID THAT... YOU HAD
REACHED AN AGREEMENT,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND THAT YOU FELT
IT WAS BEST FOR HIM
TO LEAVE CARVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE WAS LISTENING TO ME WHILE
I WAS ANGRY. I DON'T THINK
EVEN SHE BELIEVES THAT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I WANT TOM BACK.
I NEED A CHANCE WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MOST PEOPLE JUST WANT TO
GET HIM OUT OF THEIR HAIR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND I FIGURED, WELL,
THIS MAINSTREAM THING...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAS JUST ANOTHER SOMETHING
THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M STARTING AT 5:00.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}PLEASE, DON'T GIVE UP
ON TOM. I'M SORRY.
I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I MEAN, I HAVEN'T
GIVEN UP ON HIM. I'M...
GOING ABOUT IT CLUMSILY,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}BUT I WANTED YOU
TO KNOW THAT I AM
MAKING PROGRESS WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW THAT IF YOU
SEND HIM BACK TO CARVER,
I CAN STILL MAKE THINGS WORK.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}I'M MORE SURE OF IT
NOW THAN EVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OF COURSE, I DON'T WANT TOM
TO COME BACK UNLESS HE WANTS TO.
I DON'T WANT TO FORCE TOM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, I THINK HE DOES.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}WELL, IT'S SATURDAY,
SO THE GYM'S EMPTY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IF TOM WANTS TO,
MAYBE HE AND I CAN
GO OVER THERE FOR A WHILE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}LOOKS LIKE WE GOT
THE PLACE TO OURSELVES.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS PLACE
IS FULL, REAL FULL,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IT GETS KIND OF SCARY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
WHICH WAY I LIKE IT BEST--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}FULL OF PEOPLE, OR...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}JUST QUIET LIKE THIS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNOW YOU LIKE TO BE ALONE.
SO DO I--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PRIVATE, SO NOBODY
CAN SEE YOU SCREW UP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHY I
COME HERE SOMETIMES...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AT NIGHT OR ON SATURDAY,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO I CAN BE ALL BY MYSELF.

BIOLOGY PROJECT. HE WENT
AND CLONED A CAN OF MIXED NUTS.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}[ All Laughing ]
C.J., WHERE'D YOU
GET THAT THING FROM?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Jackson ] I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
SOMEBODY STASHED IT BACK HERE.
[ Laughing Continues ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HEY, WHAT'S THE DEAL, MAN?
YOU LAUGHIN' AT ME?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, YOU PUT IT ON.
IT'S A GOOD FIT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU MEAN, YOU LIKE THAT?
I CAN'T TELL YA
HOW MUCH I HATE IT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}GOOD. WE WERE AFRAID WE'D
HAVE TO BURY YOU IN IT.
GOOD IDEA!
{\a1\pos(180,432)}MAN, WHO THOUGHT UP THIS
PIECE OF UGLY ANYWAY?
YOU GOT ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT MUST BE SOMEBODY'S IDEA OF
A JOKE. PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU
FOUND IT. WE GOT A GAME TO PLAY.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}LET'S GO.
CAN'T I GO
LIKE THIS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- THAT'S THE WAY YOU ALWAYS GO.
- [ Jackson ]
WHAT ABOUT ME, MAN?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Coolidge ]
YOU DONE LOST YOUR MIND, BOY.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HELP ME OUT OF THIS THING!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YES, I AM. YOU KNOW,
IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE
I'VE BEEN TO A BALL GAME.
{\a1\pos(288,432)}OH, REALLY?
I REFUSE TO TELL
THE NUMBER OF YEARS.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}LET'S GO UP HERE.
THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HIGH. THAT'S VERY NICE.
ALL THE WAY--
{\a1\pos(96,432)}[ Laughing ]
I'M SO GLAD YOU
ACCEPTED MY INVITATION.
{\a1\pos(180,432)}I CAN'T PROMISE
WE'RE GONNA WIN THOUGH.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JUST SITTING ON THE BENCH WILL
BE EXCITING ENOUGH FOR THOMAS.
I WANT TO BE SO I CAN SEE HIM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}DON'T WORRY.
HE'LL BE RIGHT DOWN THERE
ON THE BENCH IN FRONT.
{\a1\pos(180,432)}YOU CAN SEE HIM
THROUGH THE WHOLE GAME.
OH, GOOD.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}HI. CAN I JOIN YOU?
OH, THOMAS IS GONNA BE
SO EXCITED THAT YOU CAME.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}[ Blows Whistle ]
[ Crowd Cheering ]
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!
GO GET 'EM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}ALL RIGHT! THAT'S IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Buzzer Sounds ]
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT!
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT'S A CARRY.
ALL RIGHT!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Whistles ]
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Buzzer Sounds ]
[ Reeves ]
ALL RIGHT! BEAUTIFUL! PERFECT!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Boys ] ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT!
AM I GONNA HAVE TO DRAG ALL
THESE EGOS INTO THE LOCKER ROOM?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SEE IF WE CAN HANG ON
TO THIS THING.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}COME ON. LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Chattering ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE CAME FROM THE OUTSIDE!
THAT WAS GOLDSTEIN
FOR A CHANGE, BOY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, LOOK. YOU KNOW,
THEY NEED AN APPOINTMENT
WITH THE BASKET EVEN TO SEE IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}CHECK IT OUT. MAYBE WE
SHOULD PRINT UP SOME TICKETS.
GIVE 'EM A CHANCE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT. SETTLE DOWN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}JUST 'CAUSE YOU TOOK 'EM IN
THE FIRST HALF DOESN'T MEAN
YOU GOT A LOCK ON IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SOUTH NEEDS THE LOCK.
WE'RE STEALING THEM BLIND!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOMEZ, IF THEY CATCH ON YOU'RE
SPENDIN' HALF YOUR TIME OUTSIDE
OF THE DEFENSIVE ZONE,
{\a1\pos(264,460)}THEY'RE GONNA SNATCH
YOUR SHORTS OFF YA.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THAT GOES FOR ALL OF YOU.
LET'S DO IT RIGHT FOR ONCE.
{\a1\pos(180,404)}YOU GOT THREE MINUTES.
TROIS MINUTE-UTE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE WINNIN' THIS GAME.
LET'S DO IT.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOIN' RIGHT.
[ Hayward ]
HEY, YOU GUYS. WAIT A MINUTE.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}WHAT DO YOU SAY,
WE GET A BIG LEAD, WE OUGHT
TO PUT THOMAS IN THE GAME.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}WHAT'S HE GONNA DO,
EAT THE BALL?
AW, COME ON. NO.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE COULD DIG JUST
STANDIN' THERE, MAN--
JUST BEIN' THERE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ All Laughing ]
NO, WAIT A SECOND. BESIDES,
IT WILL DRIVE REEVES CRAZY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I'M WITH HAYWARD. IF WE
GET THE GAME OUT OF HAND,
LET'S PUT HIM IN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THAT AIDE OF HIS SAYS
HE CAN SHOOT HIS HEAD OFF
FROM THE FOUL LINE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. YEAH, LET'S GIVE
OUR BOY THOMAS A SHOT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH!
LET'S PLAY!
IT'S TIME FOR THE PROM.
{\a1\pos(309,404)}LET'S DO IT.
HERE WE GO, THOMAS.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}HEY.
LET'S GO!
{\a1\pos(348,460)}DAMN!
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Cheerleaders,
Crowd Cheering ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, SALAMI, WHERE'S THOMAS?
DIDN'T HE RUN OUT WITH THE TEAM?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW.
HE WAS IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}OH, MY GOD.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET HIM.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
YOU GO THAT WAY, COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reeves ]
SORRY. SORRY. EXCUSE ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, THOMAS?
THOMAS, THOMAS?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ No Audible Dialogue ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON AND SIT DOWN, GOLDSTEIN.
JUST FOR NOW.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAYWARD, YOU WARM UP.
YOU GO WARM UP.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}EXCUSE ME.
[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}DON'T JUST STAND THERE.
COME ON! HELP ME GET HIM
OUT OF THIS THING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
RIGHT BEHIND THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I MEAN,
I NEVER EXPECTED--
OW!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT HAPPENED SO SOON.
THERE WAS NOTHING
REALLY I COULD DO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}REMEMBER I TOLD YOU WHEN
IT COMES TO THOMAS, IT'S BEST
TO LAUGH WHEN YOU WANT TO CRY?
{\a1\pos(57,432)}THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU.
THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE OUT THERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SHOULD GO FOR MY THROAT.
I WANTED THOMAS BACK.
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO, IT ISN'T.
IT'S THOMAS'S FAULT. IT'S JUST
ANOTHER ONE OF HIS IMPULSES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'VE STOPPED TRYIN' TO FIGURE
IT OUT, AND I SIMPLY ACCEPT IT
AS A PART OF HIS PERSONALITY.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}BUT WHAT DO YOU DO?
I HELP HIM, AND THEN I
FORGET IT EVER HAPPENED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
HELP HIM, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO LEARN TO DO TOO.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}HEY, COACH, COME ON.
YOU WANNA FORFEIT?
UH, YEAH-- UH, NO.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Crowd Cheering ]
{\a1\pos(264,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WAY TO FOLLOW THE BOARDS
OUT THERE, BIG WARREN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS
ARE DOIN' OUT THERE,
BUT WHATEVER IT IS, KEEP IT UP.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT
WITH THESE CLOWNS.
TODAY I JUST MAY BELIEVE YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}I THINK YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
HEY, WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE PUT THOMAS IN THEN?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH!
YEAH!
THAT'S CUTE, HAYWARD.
{\a1\pos(96,432)}WE GOTTA SIT ON THE BALL
FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES--
[ Goldstein ] WE MEAN IT.
{\a1\pos(120,432)}LET'S PUT THOMAS IN.
THAT'S ENOUGH. WE'VE ALREADY
HAD ONE DISASTER TODAY.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WE'RE UP BY 28 POINTS. WHEN IS
THAT EVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN?
YOU'VE GOT A POINT.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}ALL HE'S GOTTA DO
IS STAND THERE.
RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIS MAMA?
WE'LL WAIT.
BOY.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I KNOW THIS IS CRAZY,
BUT MY TEAM WANTS ME
TO PUT THOMAS IN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, THAT'S VERY NICE,
BUT THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.
{\a1\pos(369,460)}[ Cheering ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Blows Whistle ]
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Goldstein ]
SHOOT THE BALL, THOMAS.
SHOOT THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}SHOOT, THOMAS, SHOOT.
SHOOT THE BALL, THOMAS.
GO AHEAD, SHOOT THE BALL.
{\a1\pos(201,460)}[ Goldstein ]
SHOOT THE BALL, THOMAS.
