{\a1\pos(96,460)}- YOU MEAN I'M OFF THE TEAM?
- YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- JUST BECAUSE OF SCHOOL?
- I'M SORRY.
I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YEAH. SURE YOU DON'T.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHOW US WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKET,
MAN, OR YOU'RE WASTED!
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- GOMEZ.
- RUIZ. ¿QUÉ PASA?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOMEZ ISN'T FAILING CARVER.
CARVER'S FAILING GOMEZ, AND HE'S
THE ONE BEING PUNISHED FOR IT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}- WHAT HAPPENED?
- THE BANDOLEROS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- TOMORROW, SET UP A MEETING.
- YOU SAW WHAT THEY DID
WITH JUAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT!
{\a1\pos(12,404)}[ Knocks ]
COME IN.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WILLIS SAID
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME.
YEAH, HAVE YOU GOT A MINUTE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OH, SHE'S BEING POLITE TO ME.
I SMELL TROUBLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I JUST
CAN'T RESIST A MAN IN UNIFORM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OKAY.
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME.
WHAT IS IT?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}TWO THINGS. NUMBER ONE,
I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU ARE THE ONLY FACULTY MEMBER
WHO HAS NOT SUBMITTED
HIS STUDENT EVALUATION FORMS.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}COME ON, SYBIL.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
THAT MICKEY MOUSE STUFF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TO YOU, IT'S MICKEY MOUSE STUFF.
TO ME, IT IS
NECESSARY INFORMATION...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THAT'S USED TO DETERMINE
THE PROGRESS WE'RE MAKING
WITH THE STUDENTS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHY SHOULD I WASTE MY TIME
ON THAT STUFF?
I'M THE BASKETBALL COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU WANT AN EVALUATION?
I'LL GIVE YOU AN EVALUATION.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COOLIDGE'S JUMP SHOT
IS MUCH IMPROVED.
THORPE STILL NEEDS--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JIM WILLIS SAID
IF I TRIED BEING NICE TO YOU,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU JUST MIGHT MAKE AN EFFORT
TO BE MORE COOPERATIVE.
{\a1\pos(285,460)}IT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN
A WASTE OF TIME.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}ALL RIGHT.
THE FORMS ARE ON YOUR DESK.
YOU FILL THEM OUT,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU RETURN THEM TO ME
BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SAID THERE WERE TWO THINGS.
WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AS OF TODAY, RICKY GOMEZ
IS OFF THE BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHY?
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}BILL PATTERSON, GEOMETRY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}"RARELY IN MY 20 YEARS
OF TEACHING HAVE I SEEN...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}A STUDENT DEMONSTRATE
SUCH A VAST LACK OF INTEREST
AND DISCIPLINE."
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BILL PATTERSON?
THE MERE MENTION OF HIS NAME
PUTS ME TO SLEEP.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}MARIA NEWKIRK,
AMERICAN LITERATURE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}"RICKY GOMEZ HAS FAILED
TO TURN IN HIS LAST
FIVE BOOK REPORTS...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}"AND SPENDS MOST OF
HIS TIME IN CLASS PICKING
DRIED CHEWING GUM...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}FROM UNDER HIS DESK."
{\a1\pos(12,460)}EARL FINNIMAN, BIOLOGY.
"RICKY GOMEZ SHOWS
LITTLE INTEREST IN HIS WORK.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE'S CHRONICALLY LATE
FOR CLASS, AND PRETENDS...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
ENGLISH WHEN CALLED UPON."
{\a1\pos(57,432)}SHALL I GO ON?
THINK CUTTING HIM FROM THE TEAM
IS GONNA IMPROVE HIS GRADES?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ARE YOU ATTEMPTING TO TELL ME
HOW TO DO MY JOB?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I JUST DON'T LIKE HAVING
MY JOB INTERFERED WITH.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I WAS HIRED ON HERE
AS A BASKETBALL COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DID NOT KNOW THAT WHO I COULD
OR COULD NOT HAVE ON THE TEAM
WAS GONNA BE DICTATED TO ME.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I'M IN NO MOOD
TO DEBATE THIS ISSUE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I'VE SET THE POLICY.
I'VE MADE MY DECISION.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Door Opens, Closes ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}VERY TRULY YOURS--
{\a1\pos(180,404)}CAN I TALK TO YOU?
I WAS EXPECTING YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THAT'LL BE ALL.
THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AH, I'M REALLY SORRY. UH--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I HOPE YOU'LL--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}NOW, LOOK,
WHEN YOU HIRED ME YOU,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SAID IT WAS 'CAUSE
I WAS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU SAID CARVER HIGH
NEEDS A BASKETBALL COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO AM I A COACH
OR SOME SORT OF A FIGUREHEAD?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}YOU'RE THE COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OKAY. SO WHY DOES RICKY GOMEZ
HAVE TO GET KICKED OFF THE TEAM?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}A: BECAUSE SYBIL
IS VICE PRINCIPAL,
AND THIS IS HER DECISION.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}B: REMOVING RICKY GOMEZ
FROM THE BASKETBALL TEAM
IS NOT PUNISHMENT,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT WHAT WE THINK IS IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE STUDENT.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}"WE"? YOU'RE ON HER SIDE?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH TAKING SIDES.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT IF YOU MEAN,
DO I SUPPORT SYBIL'S DECISION?
I DO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DOES GOMEZ KNOW ABOUT THIS YET?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I'M GONNA TELL HIM
THIS AFTERNOON.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}NO, NO. LET ME TELL HIM.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(180,432)}YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO TELL HIM.
NO, I'LL TELL HIM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- WHY?
- BECAUSE I'M THE COACH.
{\a1\pos(432,68)}♪ [ Jazz ]
{\a1\pos(12,96)}C.J., IT'S ALL THE WAY LIVE,

{\a1\pos(12,460)}-OH, YEAH? WHERE'D YOU STEAL IT?
-WHERE'D I STEAL IT?
{\a1\pos(264,404)}FROM YOUR MAMA.

{\a1\pos(96,460)}GOMEZ, CAN I SEE YOU

{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT.
HAVE A SEAT, GOMEZ.
SHUT THE DOOR.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IS THE LIGHT IN HERE
TOO BRIGHT FOR YOU, GOMEZ?
{\a1\pos(96,432)}NO, COACH.
WOULD YOU MIND
REMOVING THE SHADES?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}GOMEZ, WHY ARE YOU DOIN'
SO ROTTEN IN SCHOOL?
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHO SAYS I'M DOING ROTTEN?
EVERYBODY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AAH, WHAT DO THEY KNOW?
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH BIOLOGY?
I LIKE BIOLOGY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}OH, YEAH?
MR. FINNIMAN SAYS
YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND YOU PRETEND YOU CAN'T
SPEAK ENGLISH IN CLASS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I SPEAK ENGLISH,
BUT SOMETIMES MR. FINNIMAN
USES WORDS I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
{\a1\pos(414,404)}WHAT WORDS?
BIOLOGY WORDS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO DOESN'T MR. FINNIMAN EXPLAIN
TO YOU WHAT THE WORDS MEAN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}NO. WHEN I TELL HIM I DON'T
UNDERSTAND A WORD,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE TELLS ME
HE'S NOT AN ENGLISH TEACHER.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YOU HAVING TROUBLE IN ENGLISH?
NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO? HOW COME YOU DIDN'T
HAND IN YOUR LAST BOOK REPORT?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- I DIDN'T READ THE BOOK.
- WHY NOT?
DON'T YOU LIKE TO READ?
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YEAH. I LIKE TO READ SOME BOOKS.
LIKE WHAT?
{\a1\pos(201,460)}I JUST READ THE STORY
ABOUT EMILIANO ZAPATA.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU MEAN,
MARLON BRANDO IN THE--
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HE WAS ONE OF THE LEADERS
OF THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OKAY. SO WHY DIDN'T YOU WRITE
A REPORT ON THAT?
{\a1\pos(117,432)}I TRIED, BUT MISS NEWKIRK
WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT.
WHY NOT?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}BECAUSE IT WASN'T
THE ASSIGNMENT.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHAT WAS THE ASSIGNMENT?
LITTLE WOMEN.
{\a1\pos(117,404)}I BETTER GO GET SUITED UP.
NO. SIT DOWN, GOMEZ.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, I JUST CAME FROM
SPEAKING WITH MISS BUCHANAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHE SAID THAT
BECAUSE OF YOUR GRADES,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU CAN'T PLAY BASKETBALL
ON THE TEAM ANYMORE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- GOMEZ, YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?
- SURE. SHOULD I
GO SUIT UP NOW?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THINK WE GOT A BAD CONNECTION
SOMEPLACE HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I HEARD YOU. YOU SAID
MISS BUCHANAN SAID I COULDN'T
PLAY ON THE TEAM ANYMORE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- DOESN'T THAT BOTHER YOU?
- YOU FIXED IT, DIDN'T YOU?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOMEZ, I DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING.
{\a1\pos(96,404)}YOU MEAN I'M OFF THE TEAM?
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- JUST BECAUSE OF SCHOOL?
- THAT'S AN AWFULLY BIG
"JUST," ISN'T IT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN,
YOU'RE HERE TO GET AN EDUCATION,
NOT TO PLAY BASKETBALL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- HOW COME YOU DIDN'T FIX IT?
- I'M NOT THE BIG DADDY
AROUND HERE.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}CAN'T YOU GIVE ME A BREAK?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- GOMEZ, I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.
- BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, YOU CAN'T GO THROUGH LIFE
BLAMING EVERYBODY ELSE
FOR YOUR OWN PROBLEMS.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I'M SORRY, GOMEZ.
I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YEAH. SURE YOU DON'T.

AND THORPE COULD TRY
TO HELP YOU STUDY OR SOMETHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}-NAH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
-YOU NEED SOME HELP IN GEOMETRY?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MAN, WHEN DID YOU BECOME
SUCH A BIG SHOT IN GEOMETRY?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I DIDN'T SAY I WAS

TO REVERSE THE PROCESS.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO TELL ME
I MAKE YOU SICK?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}NOT IN SO MANY WORDS.

THE ANSWER IS NO.

{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S OBVIOUS NOW THAT ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}KEEPING THAT KID IN SCHOOL
IS BEING ON THE TEAM.

HE BELONGS SOMEWHERE--
{\a1\pos(348,460)}THAT HE BELONGS
TO SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IF IT'S NOT THE TEAM,
IT'S GONNA BE THAT GANG,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}AND NEITHER ONE OF US
WANTS THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, WHAT YOU DON'T SEEM
TO UNDERSTAND...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IS THAT THIS IS MORE
THAN JUST A QUESTION...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OF BUREAUCRACY
AND SCHOOL RED TAPE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PLAYING ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM
ISN'T A RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S A PRIVILEGE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND RICKY GOMEZ HAS TO
EARN HIS PRIVILEGES,
JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOW, WHETHER I'M
A VICE PRINCIPAL
AT CARVER HIGH SCHOOL...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OR A DEAN AT USC,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO ATHLETE ON ANY TEAM
IS GONNA GET SPECIAL TREATMENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT IT,
AND THAT'S THE WAY
IT'S GONNA BE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WE'RE GONNA LOSE THIS KID.
I WISH YOU COULD BE
MORE FLEXIBLE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE,
WE HAD PROFESSORS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHO WERE PASSING
BASKETBALL PLAYERS WITH
FOURTH-GRADE READING LEVELS...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}JUST SO THEY COULD PLAY
IN A BIG GAME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITH GOMEZ, WE'RE NOT TALKIN'
ABOUT A BIG GAME,
WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT HIS LIFE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, KEN, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY GOMEZ IS OFF THE TEAM,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'RE TALKING
TO THE WRONG PERSON.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}OKAY. WHO SHOULD I TALK TO?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF HIS TEACHERS.

{\a1\pos(264,460)}YEAH. SURE IS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JUAN! JUAN!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT HAPPENED? JUAN!
{\a1\pos(120,404)}THE BANDOLEROS.
HOW MANY OF THEM WERE THERE?
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I'M NOT SURE.
FIVE, MAYBE SIX.
{\a1\pos(264,432)}WHERE?
ALHAMBRA STREET,
OUTSIDE THE CHURCH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- TOMORROW, SET UP A MEETING.
- YOU SAW WHAT
THEY DID WITH JUAN.

{\a1\pos(12,460)}I SCORED 23 POINTS

HE WAS FROM?

{\a1\pos(12,460)}SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT.
HE WASN'T TOO SWIFT, WAS HE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SWIFT? HIS I.Q. WAS MORE LIKE
ARNOLD PALMER'S GOLF SCORE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ELLIS TURNER WAS BEAUTIFUL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}REMEMBER WHEN ROTHSKELLER
GOT PROFESSOR FUGET...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TO MAKE UP
THAT SPECIAL HUMANITIES EXAM
THAT ELLIS COULD PASS...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}SO HE COULD PLAY
IN THE N.I.T.'s?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND THEY ASKED HIM THE NAME
OF THAT GREEK PHILOSOPHER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- YEAH, AND HE SAID, "ACHILLES."
- NICE TRY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I THOUGHT YOU
BROUGHT ME DOWN HERE
FOR A LITTLE FRIENDLY GAME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. WHO'S BEING UNFRIENDLY?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I'M NOT GOING TO
REINSTATE RICKY GOMEZ.

{\a1\pos(12,460)}I ADMIT IT,
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S RIGHT.

{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE'S IN ONE OF MY CLASSES,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT I'D HARDLY
CONSIDER HIM A STUDENT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}GEE, THAT'S FUNNY.
HE TOLD ME HE LIKES BIOLOGY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW HOW HE CAN LIKE IT.
HE CAN BARELY PRONOUNCE IT.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}IS THAT WHY
HE'S FLUNKING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW WHY
HE'S FLUNKING IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I ONLY KNOW HE IS.

{\a1\pos(432,460)}[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, I'M NOT TRYING TO PASS OFF
RICKY GOMEZ AS AN "A" STUDENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT WOULD BE LIKE TRYING
TO PASS OFF A 30-DOLLAR BILL.
{\a1\pos(96,124)}I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY
THAT MAYBE HIS POOR GRADES
AREN'T ALL HIS FAULT.
{\a1\pos(12,96)}ARE YOU INSINUATING
THAT MAYBE IT'S MY FAULT?
{\a1\pos(96,96)}NO. I'M MERELY SAYING
THAT PERHAPS HIS FAILURE...
{\a1\pos(180,124)}IS MORE THE RESULT OF
A LANGUAGE PROBLEM
THAN A LACK OF INTEREST.

BECAUSE OF HIS
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}OH, I'M SORRY.
NO. NO, I DIDN'T KNOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I JUST ASSUMED YOU WANTED
TO TALK ABOUT RICKY,

I HAVE WHO'S ON
THE BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}HE'S PRETTY
PROUD OF IT TOO.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE 90

{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND YOU STILL COULDN'T GET HIM
TO TAKE OFF THE TEAM JACKET.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- WELL, YOU FOUND A WAY.
- WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOUR STUDENT EVALUATION
HAD A LOT TO DO WITH
HIS BEING CUT FROM THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?
LIE?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}LOOK, I REPORTED FACTS.
{\a1\pos(36,432)}HE WAS NOT DOING
THE REQUIRED WORK.
HE WANTED TO DO A BOOK REPORT...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ON THE LIFE OF EMILIANO ZAPATA,
AND YOU WOULDN'T LET HIM.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THAT'S RIGHT. IT WAS NOT ON

BUT, COME ON, LITTLE WOMEN?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}LOOK, IN THE FIRST PLACE,

{\a1\pos(12,460)}IS THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER
ENGLISH TEACHER IN THIS SCHOOL.

MEMBER OF YOUR BASKETBALL TEAM
HAS HAD A PROBLEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE
TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM AS IF...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S THE SCHOOL THAT'S FAILED,
{\a1\pos(117,460)}WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT'S
THE STUDENT WHO'S FAILING.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- WHAT'S THE SECOND PLACE?
- IN THE SECOND PLACE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}RICKY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO
A BOOK REPORT ON LITTLE WOMEN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE HAD A CHOICE BETWEEN
TWO BOOKS FOR THE ASSIGNMENT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- OH. WHAT WAS THE OTHER BOOK?
- THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
OF MALCOLM X.

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.

WHICH SIDE WE'RE ON?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THE PILES OF LUMBER WILL BE
A LIGHT BACKGROUND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT WILL MAKE IT EASIER
FOR US TO SEE THE BANDOLEROS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND HARDER FOR THEM TO SEE US.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- WHAT TIME SHOULD WE MEET?
- WHAT TIME DO WE MEET

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SYSTEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.
IT'S OUTDATED. IT'S UNFAIR.
IT'S TOTALLY USELESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S SOUR GRAPES, REEVES.

{\a1\pos(12,460)}JUST 'CAUSE YOU LOST

{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU FIND IT UNUSUAL
THAT HE WASN'T INTERESTED
IN READING LITTLE WOMEN?

HE HAD A CHOICE.

BETWEEN LITTLE WOMEN...

HOW DO YOU EXPECT HIM
TO BE INTERESTED...

{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO,
TAILOR A CURRICULUM

{\a1\pos(12,460)}ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANTED
FOR YOUR KIDS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ISN'T THAT WHY YOU HAVE
A BLACK STUDIES PROGRAM HERE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DO ANY OF YOU CARE THAT GOMEZ
FEELS LIKE A FAILURE,
AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}RIGHT NOW HE'S ROAMIN' AROUND

{\a1\pos(96,460)}BECAUSE YOU'VE
TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM

INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}EVER SINCE HE LEFT THE TEAM,
LIKE HE USED TO.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}HE'S RUNNING AROUND
WITH THE SAME BOYS.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}I KNOW.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}MY SISTER'S AFRAID
THERE'S GONNA BE A FIGHT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}[ Spanish ]
{\a1\pos(180,460)}SHE FOUND THAT IN
RICARDO'S CLOSET.
{\a1\pos(432,460)}GOOD LORD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Spanish Continues ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MY SISTER SAID THAT YOU
HELPED RICARDO ONCE BEFORE...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AND THAT YOU WOULD KNOW
WHAT TO DO.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
LOOK, UM--
{\a1\pos(96,460)}MRS. ALVAREZ,
YOU TAKE YOUR SISTER HOME,
AND I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
{\a1\pos(204,404)}THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

{\a1\pos(12,404)}DETECTIVE DIAZ?
YEAH?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE COP DOWN AT THE FRONT DESK
TOLD ME TO SEE YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M TRYIN' TO FIND OUT
WHERE A GANG CALLED THE AZTECS
HANGS OUT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE
WITH LOS AZTECAS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TRY TO MAKE THIS SHORT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MY NAME IS KEN REEVES.
I'M THE BASKETBALL COACH
AT CARVER HIGH SCHOOL. I--
{\a1\pos(180,460)}DIDN'T YOU PLAY PRO BALL
WITH DENVER, HUH?
THEN CHICAGO?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH. YOU REMEMBER ME?
YEAH.
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I ONCE TOOK CHICAGO,
AND I GAVE SIX AGAINST PHILLY.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU BLEW A FREE THROW
IN THE LAST EIGHT SECONDS.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}CHICAGO NEVER COVERED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU STILL REMEMBER THAT?
THAT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}YEAH, IT WAS ALSO
150 BUCKS AGO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ANYWAY, WHAT DOES A NICE GRINGO
LIKE YOU WANT WITH LOS AZTECAS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, APPARENTLY
THERE'S GONNA BE A RUMBLE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND ONE OF MY PLAYERS
IS RUNNING WITH THEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HIS MOTHER CAME TO SEE ME.
SHE FOUND THIS IN HIS CLOSET.
{\a1\pos(348,460)}LOOK AT THAT.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}IN THE OLD DAYS,
WE USED TO USE ZIP GUNS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S GONNA
BE SOME SORT OF TROUBLE.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}THANKS FOR THE TIP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAIT A SECOND.
AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO PUT OUT
SOME KIND OF ALERT OR SOMETHIN'?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TRY TO ROUND UP THESE GUYS?
{\a1\pos(264,460)}IF THERE'S A RUMBLE,
WE'LL KNOW ABOUT IT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON. WHAT HAPPENS
IF IT'S ALREADY OVER
BY THE TIME YOU GET THERE?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}WE CAN'T HAVE
AN ENTIRE POLICE DEPARTMENT
OUT LOOKING FOR A RUMBLE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.
HOW ABOUT IF YOU AND ME
TRY TO FIND IT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NAH. IT'D BE LIKE LOOKIN'
FOR A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY
GONNA FIGHT IT OUT
ON HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}BUT MAYBE WE CAN STOP IT
BEFORE IT GETS STARTED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M GOIN' OUT TO CRUISE.
I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}CAN I COME ALONG WITH YOU?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- YOU'RE REALLY WORRIED, HUH?
- SURE I'M WORRIED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OKAY. LET'S GO LOOK FOR TROUBLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IS THIS, UH, YOUR CAR?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}UH-UH. IT BELONGS
TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}A STATION WAGON?
YEAH.
I'M FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}THEY WOULDN'T EXPECT
A COP TO BE RIDING
A STATION WAGON.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
[ Chuckles ]
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THIS IS THE BEST PLACE
IN TOWN.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}WE USED TO RUMBLE HERE
WHEN I WAS A KID.
{\a1\pos(180,404)}YOU?
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THE BOY SCOUTS,
THEY WOULDN'T TAKE ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reeves ]
WE HAD GANGS IN QUEENS IN
THE '50s WHEN I WAS GROWIN' UP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE WAS A CAPE MAN,

THE GOTHIC LORDS,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE GAMMAS, THE DELTAS,
ALL KINDS OF ASSORTED CRAZIES,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}BUT I THOUGHT
THAT WAS OLD STUFF.
{\a1\pos(264,460)}MM-MM.
NOT IN EL BARRIO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Radio Beeping ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Man On Radio ]
WE HAVE A MAJOR 415 AT THE

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}HEY, HOW BAD IS IT?

I CAN PLAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE WILL BE A SEMINAR--
NEW CONCEPTS FOR BLACK
AFFAIRS NEXT THURSDAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BY THE WAY, MR. MAXWELL,
WHO HAS BEEN NAMED COCHAIRMAN--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU FINALLY MADE IT TO
A FACULTY MEETING.
TO WHAT DO WE OWE THIS HONOR?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Reeves ]
I NEVER HAD ANYTHING
I WANTED TO SAY BEFORE.
{\a1\pos(117,460)}GOOD. HAVE A SEAT.
WE'LL BE OPEN
FOR GENERAL DISCUSSIONS...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}AS SOON AS I FINISH
MAKING A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS.
{\a1\pos(285,460)}THANK YOU. NOW,
AS I WAS SAYING,
{\a1\pos(180,460)}MR. MAXWELL, WHO HAS
BEEN NAMED COCHAIRMAN...
{\a1\pos(12,404)}OF THE STATE COUNCIL OF BLACK--
[ Clears Throat ]
{\a1\pos(96,460)}- WHAT IS IT, KEN?
- I GOTTA BE AT PRACTICE
IN 15 MINUTES.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}CAN I, UH, TALK NOW?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS?
{\a1\pos(351,404)}GO AHEAD.
[ Clears Throat ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I MOVE THAT CARVER HIGH ABOLISH
THE STUDENT EVALUATION SYSTEM.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SYSTEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.
IT'S OUTDATED. IT'S UNFAIR.
IT'S TOTALLY USELESS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S SOUR GRAPES, REEVES.
COME ON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JUST 'CAUSE YOU LOST
ONE OF YOUR BASKETBALL PLAYERS?
WHAT IS THIS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MAYBE IN THE BEGINNING,
BUT NOT ANYMORE.
GOMEZ ISN'T FAILING CARVER.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}CARVER'S FAILING GOMEZ,
AND HE'S THE ONE
BEING PUNISHED FOR IT.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THE KID'S BEING MADE
TO FEEL LIKE A FAILURE
FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}YOU FIND IT UNUSUAL
THAT HE WASN'T INTERESTED
IN READING LITTLE WOMEN?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THOUGHT I MADE IT CLEAR.
HE HAD A CHOICE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}TERRIFIC. SOME CHOICE.
BETWEEN LITTLE WOMEN...
{\a1\pos(201,460)}AND THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
OF MALCOLM X.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}GOMEZ IS A CHICANO.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT HIM
TO BE INTERESTED...
{\a1\pos(96,460)}IN A BLACK
REVOLUTIONARY LEADER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO,
TAILOR A CURRICULUM
ESPECIALLY FOR ONE STUDENT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANTED
FOR YOUR KIDS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ISN'T THAT WHY YOU HAVE
A BLACK STUDIES PROGRAM HERE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DO ANY OF YOU CARE THAT GOMEZ
FEELS LIKE A FAILURE,
AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}RIGHT NOW HE'S ROAMIN' AROUND
THE STREETS WITH SOME GANG...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TRYIN' TO GET BACK WHAT'S LEFT
OF HIS SELF-ESTEEM,
{\a1\pos(96,460)}BECAUSE YOU'VE
TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM
POSSIBLY THE ONE THING...
{\a1\pos(180,460)}THAT WAS KEEPIN' HIM
OUT OF TROUBLE.
{\a1\pos(96,460)}THERE HE GOES WITH
THE BASKETBALL AGAIN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE BLACK STUDIES PROGRAM
IS FOR BLACK STUDENTS. PLURAL.

IT WAS CALVIN COOLIDGE.
{\a1\pos(180,460)}[ Laughs ]

IT WAS JACKSON.

WHY NOT?
AREN'T YOU PROUD OF ME?
{\a1\pos(96,460)}I JUST WISH YOUR MOTIVATION
