{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT'S AN UPTOWN DUDE LIKE YOU
PASSIN' TIME DOWN HERE FOR?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}COLLINS LEFT PALISADES HIGH
FOR FIGHTING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALLEGEDLY,
HE'S A HOMOSEXUAL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU AGAIN.
I'M THINKIN' OF
DROPPIN' HIM FROM THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
I'M ASHAMED OF YOU.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOBODY DOWN HERE OWNS A LOT
OF STUFF. AND IF YOU SCORE
DOWN HERE, THE REASON'S SIMPLE.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}IT'S 'CAUSE
YOU'RE STRONGEST.
{\a1\pos(195,432)}HEY. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
HOLD IT!
ANYTIME, BUDDY!
{\a1\pos(279,460)}[ Salami ]
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Hayward ]
YOU AIN'T GOTTA TELL ME, MAN.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}I WAS HOPIN'
HE WOULDN'T SHOW UP.
NOW WE CAN'T SLEEP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE'S NO JUSTICE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YEAH, WELL,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS
ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITH MISS KAPLAN OUT,
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO
FINISH OFF MY EGGPLANT PARMESAN.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}WHAT ARE YOU THREE CLOWNS
WHISPERIN' ABOUT?
NOTHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH BY NOW
TO KNOW I'M NOT HAPPY.
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}- YOU WANT THE TRUTH?
- NO, I WANT FAIRY TALES.
OUT WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WE GET ENOUGH OF YOU
IN THE GYM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE COME HERE FOURTH PERIOD,
WE EXPECT A LITTLE REST.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT MAKES TWO OF US.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
MISS KAPLAN'S TAUGHT YOU,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}BUT I'M SURE THAT, UH,
SOMEWHERE ALONG
THE LINE IN LIFE,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THINGS LIKE SOUFFLÉS
WILL BE VERY VALUABLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A COURSE IN SURVIVAL COOKING.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}BY THAT,
I MEAN FRYING BACON,
SCRAMBLING EGGS,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HOW TO TAKE CARE OF
YOURSELF IN THE KITCHEN.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'LL ALSO GIVE YOU THE KEY
TO MAKING A VERY GOOD STEAK,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND, I MIGHT ADD,
THERE'S NOTHING TO
A BAKED POTATO.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Girl ]
EXCUSE ME, MR. REEVES.
YEAH?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}EGGPLANT PARMESAN AND SOUFFLÉS
MAY BE UNIMPORTANT TO YOU,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT THERE'S NOT
A SINGLE GIRL IN THIS ROOM...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE
THE THINGS YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU SEE, WHAT WE WERE
REALLY HOPING FOR...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAS A RECIPE YOU COULD SHARE
WITH US THAT WE MIGHT NOT
BE ABLE TO GET FROM MISS KAPLAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}- BELINDA GARDNER.
- DON'T START WITH ME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Boy ]
HERE COMES TROUBLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THIS IS RAYMOND COLLINS,
A NEW TRANSFER STUDENT.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}HAVE A SEAT.
I'LL GET EVEN.
BE A GOOD SPORT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IT'S HARD WHEN
THE OTHER TEAM PLAYS DIRTY.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHERE YOU COMIN' FROM?
OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I GUESS EITHER
YOUR DADDY'S GONE BANKRUPT,
OR ELSE YOU KILLED A MAN.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN SWAP
HOMICIDE STORIES LATER.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}COLLINS, WHAT ARE YOU
TAKING HOME EC FOR?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE TOO NEW
IN THIS SCHOOL TO KNOW
THAT IT'S A GUT COURSE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I LIKE TO BAKE,
AND I HAVE A LOT
OF ECLECTIC INTERESTS.
{\a1\pos(111,460)}[ Stifled Giggling ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT DOES "ECLECTIC" MEAN?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I THINK IT'S
SOMETHIN' RELIGIOUS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IT MEANS "VARIED."
{\a1\pos(195,460)}I{\r} KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
I WANTED TO SEE
IF MY BALLPLAYERS KNEW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BALLPLAYERS? I THOUGHT
YOU WERE THE HOME EC TEACHER?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Laughter ]
DO I LOOK LIKE
THE HOME EC TEACHER?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THE APRON FITS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Laughter ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M THE BASKETBALL COACH.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I WAS AN ALL-AMERICAN
IN COLLEGE. I STARTED
WITH THE CHICAGO BULLS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THE APRON DOES NOT FIT!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I PLAYED BASKETBALL
IN THE HIGH SCHOOL I CAME FROM.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}REALLY?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}- INSIDE OR OUTSIDE?
- FORWARD.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}MAYBE YOU COULD DROP BY
THE GYM ON YOUR WAY HOME.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}OKAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNEW WE HAD
A SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS,
BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
{\a1\pos(387,404)}I'LL SAY.
COLLINS, RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(324,404)}RIGHT.
TELL ME SOMETHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,96)}WHAT'S AN UPTOWN DUDE LIKE YOU
PASSIN' TIME DOWN HERE FOR?
{\a1\pos(174,96)}OH, YOU MEAN DOIN' TIME.
HUH?
{\a1\pos(90,124)}I WAS DEALIN'
A LITTLE DRUGS ON THE SIDE.
SAY WHAT?
{\a1\pos(12,96)}BECAUSE OF MY PARENTS'
CONNECTIONS, I GOT SENT HERE...
{\a1\pos(90,68)}INSTEAD OF REFORM SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU'D HAVE DONE BETTER
TO GO TO REFORM SCHOOL.
RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}SAY, COLLINS, JUST, UM,
HOW UPTOWN ARE YOU?
VERY.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}DIETING?
LISTEN.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHEN TWO ANGEL-FACED
10th-GRADERS TELL YOU...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT THEY'VE GOT FIVE DOLLARS
RIDING ON WHAT YOU WEIGH,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND THE CLOSEST GUESS
IS EIGHT POUNDS OVER,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU BETTER START EATING
LIKE A BIRD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE TRICK IS EXERCISE, SYBIL,
NOT STARVATION. HERE.
{\a1\pos(51,432)}OH! NO, NO, NO!
COME ON DOWN TO THE GYM. YOU'LL
WORK IT OFF IN 20 MINUTES.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU MEAN ONE-ON-ONE
WITH COOLIDGE?
OH, NO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAY:
YOUR BODY IS YOUR TEMPLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SAY, UH, YOU GOT ANY IDEA
WHEN MISS KAPLAN
IS COMIN' BACK TO SCHOOL?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S ONE THING TO PINCH-HIT.
IT'S QUITE ANOTHER
TO BE THE DESIGNATED HITTER.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S DAY TO DAY.
WHY?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}FINDING THE CLASSROOM
A LITTLE TOUGHER
THAN THE OLD COURT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO, NO.
NOT WHEN I KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT I GOTTA TELL YA,
I'M A LITTLE OUT OF MY DEPTH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I GOT 95 POUNDS
OF UNBRIDLED CONTEMPT
STARING AT ME IN THE FACE.
{\a1\pos(366,432)}BELINDA.
YEAH, SURE.
BELINDA GARDNER.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I SUPPOSE SHE'LL LEARN
TO CONCEAL HER FEELINGS
WHEN SHE GROWS UP.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}I HAVE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU THINK THERE'S ANY CHANCE
OF ME GETTIN' A PEEK
AT COLLINS' TRANSCRIPT?
{\a1\pos(426,460)}WHAT FOR?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANNA MAKE SURE I HAVE TIME
TO BIRTHDAY SHOP FOR HIM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT FOR?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE KID'S COMIN'
TO BASKETBALL PRACTICE TODAY.
{\a1\pos(174,404)}I'LL PREPARE IT FOR YOU.
WHAT'S TO PREPARE?
{\a1\pos(324,432)}A FEW THINGS.
IT'S A TRANSCRIPT.
WHAT THINGS?
{\a1\pos(258,460)}LOOK, I KEEP CLEAR
OF THE LOCKER ROOM
WITHOUT YOUR SAY-SO,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU KEEP CLEAR
OF THE FILE CABINETS
WITHOUT MINE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}OKAY, OKAY.
UNDERSTOOD?
{\a1\pos(12,404)}AGREED.
OKAY, THEN.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}TOUCHY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}[ Chattering ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}OH! BEAUTIFUL!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Whistle Blowing ]
ALL RIGHT.
KNOCK IT OFF, YOU GUYS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, YOU KNOW,
THIS RICH DUDE AIN'T SO SOFT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S BEEN KNOWN
TO HAPPEN BEFORE.
HEY, COLLINS?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU TOLD ME YOU PLAYED TEAM
BALL BEFORE. WHERE WAS THAT?
PALISADES HIGH.
{\a1\pos(174,404)}"GREENBACKS" HIGH, HUH?
[ Laughter ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE
YOU LEARNED TO DO IT, AS LONG
AS YOU LEARNED TO DO IT RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HEY, COACH,
I THINK I KNOW THAT GIRL
YOU GOT TO TALK TO YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
THE STRAIGHT QUESTION,
STRAIGHT ANSWER WAY OF TALKING?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU SEE, COACH, IT'S LIKE THIS.
JACKSON, SPARE ME.
I HAVEN'T GOT THE TIME.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I WANT TO GO TO A FULL-COURT
SCRIMMAGE RIGHT NOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHITE TEAM IS
THORPE, HAYWARD, SALAMI,
COOLIDGE AND REESE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IN RED, IT'S GOLDSTEIN, GOMEZ,
COLLINS, JACKSON AND BAKER.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S COOL.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}[ Chattering ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SET 'EM UP CLEAN,
GO GO.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}MOVE AROUND.
THORPE ON DEFENSE!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON, MAN.
HELP HIM OUT.
OVER BY THE POST.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK TO THE MIDDLE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}OH!
WHOO!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LET'S GO!
{\a1\pos(90,460)}HEY, I KNOW I LOOK BLACK,
BUT, HEY, THIS IS STRAIGHT.
I'M ALSO BLUE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}♪ [ Radio ]
I HEARD THAT, MAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DAMN! BLACK STATIONS
ARE GETTIN' WHITER AND WHITER
ALL THE TIME.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Laughter ]
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HEY, COLLINS, YOU GOTTA
WATCH THE HANDS, MAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}IF THERE HAD BEEN
A REF IN THERE TODAY,
YOU'D HAVE GOT 20 FOULS.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}AND MOST OF THEM UNFORCED.
AW, COME ON.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}HEY, ARE YOU SURE THAT, UH,
YOU PLAYED ORGANIZED BALL?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MORE LIKE ORGANIZED RUGBY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I GUESS I WAS
A LITTLE OVERANXIOUS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. WELL, TAKE A SEDATIVE
BEFORE PRACTICE TOMORROW.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOUR SHOWER DONE BROKE,
MY MAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AS I LIVE AND BREATHE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU EVER DRIVEN ON
THE HOLLYWOOD FREEWAY AT 5:00?
{\a1\pos(342,404)}YOU PROMISED.
NO, NO. I AGREED.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}DON'T YOU BELIEVE
IN FOLLOWING RULES?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'RE BEING BUREAUCRATIC
FOR NO REASON.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}I TOLD YOU
I WOULD PREPARE IT FIRST.
IT'S REAL X-RATED STUFF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I READ ABOUT THE KID'S
B-MINUS AVERAGE AND HIS
HISTORY TEACHER'S EVALUATION.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU KNOW, MAYBE
A GUARD DOG WOULD HELP.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BECAUSE, FRANKLY,
YOU GOT THE PARANOIA
OF A WHITE HOUSE STAFFER.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}DID YOU READ THIS?
NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I SUPPOSE, UH,
MAYBE YOU SHOULD...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SINCE HE IS ON
THE BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}CAPSULIZE, PLEASE.
THE TRAFFIC'S WAITING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COLLINS LEFT
PALISADES HIGH FOR FIGHTING.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IF THAT RULE APPLIED HERE,
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
A STUDENT BODY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH. WELL, HE'S BEEN FIGHTING
BECAUSE OF CERTAIN JOKES
THAT BECAME TOO MUCH.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHAT KIND OF JOKES?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}FAG JOKES.
{\a1\pos(174,432)}ALLEGEDLY,
HE'S A HOMOSEXUAL.
ALLEGEDLY?
{\a1\pos(258,460)}IS HE, OR ISN'T HE?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I DON'T KNOW.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}HEY, GOLDSTEIN, SHE'S
A REAL TURN-ON, ISN'T SHE?
RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}SAY, COLLINS.
LISTEN, UH,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DID YOU KNOW THAT THORPE'S
PARENTS ARE LEAVING THEIR
LOS ANGELES GHETTO NEXT WEEK...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}TO VISIT THEIR FRIENDS
IN THE SAN FRANCISCO GHETTO?
{\a1\pos(258,460)}FIVE DAYS,
FIVE NIGHTS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHY DON'T YOU
SHOOT ON OVER THERE
AND TALK TO HER, MAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEN YOU CAN MAKE
SOME ROOM RESERVATIONS.
{\a1\pos(240,432)}OH, YEAH?
YEAH. WHAT HAVE YOU
GOT TO LOSE? GO AHEAD.
{\a1\pos(174,432)}[ No Audible Dialogue ]
[ Goldstein ]
MORNING, COACH.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}MORNING.
UP, UP.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HEY, LISTEN, COACH,
YOU CAN SCRATCH THORPE
FOR FIVE DAYS.
{\a1\pos(114,404)}WHAT?
HE'S GOT HIS ARM IN A SLING.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT'D HE DO,
TRIP OVER A BURGLAR ALARM?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SOMETHIN' ABOUT TORN LIGAMENTS
IN THE SHOULDER.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}HAPPENED YESTERDAY DURING
THE COLLISION WITH COLLINS.
TERRIFIC.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU DON'T BEAT CRENSHAW
WITH POWER.
YOU BEAT 'EM WITH SPEED.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}HOW DO WE WORK ON
A FAST BREAK WITHOUT THORPE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE FEELS REAL BAD.
ABOUT IT, COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT. I DON'T WANNA
HEAR ABOUT HIM SO MUCH AS
PITCHING PENNIES WITH THAT ARM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}NO, NO, NO.
HE MEANS COLLINS FEELS BAD.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}ALL RIGHT, UH,
EVERYBODY GRAB A SEAT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}LET'S GET THIS SHOW
ON THE ROAD.
{\a1\pos(279,460)}UH, WHERE WERE WE?
OH, YEAH.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}LIGHTING CHARCOAL.
{\a1\pos(363,460)}HEY, COLLINS?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU A SPECIAL CASE
OR SOMETHIN'?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}TELL HER WHATEVER IT IS
YOU DON'T REALLY MEAN LATER.
ANYWAY, SIT DOWN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALTHOUGH I KNOW YOU'RE
ALL FAMILIAR BY NOW WITH
MY CRUSADE AGAINST DRIBBLING,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT HAPPENS TO BE
A NECESSARY EVIL OF THE GAME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY
GOOD LITTLE BALLPLAYER'S LIFE...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHEN HE'S GOTTA BRING THE BALL
UP THE FLOOR ALONE
AGAINST A PRESSING DEFENSE.
{\a1\pos(258,432)}THAT COULD HAPPEN
AGAINST CRENSHAW.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND ODDS ARE THAT SUPERMAN
WILL NOT BE THERE
TO BAIL YOU OUT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Players Chuckling ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ANYWAY, I WANNA GET TO IT
RIGHT NOW...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SO WE CAN BE SPARED
ALL THE EXCUSES LATER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE'RE GONNA GO ONE-ON-ONE,
FULL COURT.
SAME PAIRINGS AS YESTERDAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}REESE, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
DOUBLE UP WITH GOLDSTEIN
AND GO GO, ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}HEY, COACH, LISTEN.
I COULD BRING IT UP
WITH MY ELBOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HOW ABOUT LOSIN' YOURSELF
IN A MOUSE HOLE OR SOMETHIN',
ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}[ Laughter ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'RE JUST LUCKY
I GOT MY ARM IN A SLING.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}HAYWARD AND JACKSON,
YOU'RE UP.
{\a1\pos(447,460)}LET'S GO!
{\a1\pos(258,460)}READY? GO!
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ALL RIGHT, ODDS ARE
THAT'S A STEAL RIGHT THERE.
THEY GET AN EASY TWO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}JACKSON, YOU GOTTA HIDE
THE BALL WITH YOUR BODY SO
HE'S GOTTA FOUL YOU TO GET IT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}ALL RIGHT,
THAT'S A SURE TIE-UP.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HE'S GONNA GET THE BALL.
IT'S GONNA BE A STEAL.
{\a1\pos(258,432)}COME ON, JACKSON!
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
THINKIN'!
{\a1\pos(174,460)}GIVE ME THE BALL.
GIVE ME THE BALL!
{\a1\pos(90,460)}DO YOUR THINKIN'
ON THE SIDELINES.
SALAMI, COLLINS, YOU'RE IN.
{\a1\pos(174,404)}WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
WHO YOU ASKIN'?
{\a1\pos(258,460)}STAY LOW, SALAMI.
STAY LOW!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}STAY LOW, SALAMI.
COME ON. STAY LOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}CHECK THE SIDELINE.
LOOK OUT!
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, SWITCH PLACES.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GO!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}KEEP IT CLEAN, COLLINS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GET UP.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}KNOCK OFF THE HAND CHECK.
{\a1\pos(51,432)}[ Whistle Blowing ]
ALL RIGHT, STOP IT RIGHT THERE.
WHAT'S WITH THE HANDS?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I WAS JUST CHECKING HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NO, YOU WERE FOULING HIM.
THIS IS A HAND CHECK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THIS IS A BLATANT FOUL.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I WAS TRYING
TO KEEP UP WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT LOOKED MORE LIKE YOU WERE
TRYING TO DANCE WITH HIM.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DID THE OTHER PLAYERS
SAY ANYTHING TO YOU?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THEY KNEW I WAS OFF
THE DEEP END,
BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, THEN WHAT DID
YOU SAY TO THEM?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I TOLD THEM I'D BEEN SITTIN'
ON A NAIL ALL DAY.
I CALLED OFF PRACTICE EARLY.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT EXACTLY WAS THIS KID DOING?
I MEAN, WAS HE--
NOTHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE WAS HAND CHECKING.
HE WAS DOIN' WHAT ANY KID...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHO'S STILL GROWING UP
AND IS STILL CLUMSY WOULD DO.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HE PLANTED HIS HAND
ON SALAMI'S HIP.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I TELL YA, THIS WHOLE THING
HAS GOT ME SCARED TO DEATH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THIS KID COLLINS SLAPS COOLIDGE
ON THE BACKSIDE, I WINCE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE MIXES IT UP TIGHT
UNDER THE BOARDS, AND I WINCE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE TALKS TO A GIRL,
I THINK HE'S FAKIN' IT.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THE OTHER PLAYERS--
THEY KNOW NOTHING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THANKS TO THE GREAT
WHITE HOPE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU AGAIN.
I'M THINKIN' OF
DROPPIN' HIM FROM THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(111,460)}OH, FOR GOD'S SAKE, KEN.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WELL, I'M JUST THINKIN'
ABOUT IT, THAT'S ALL.
BUT HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHY I THINK
I SHOULD DROP HIM--
BEFORE HE TRIES TO.
{\a1\pos(279,460)}I'M ASHAMED OF YOU.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}YOU'RE ASHAMED OF ME?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU KNOW, YOU SOUND LIKE
AN ANITA BRYANT SCARE BROCHURE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE KID'S
A HOMOSEXUAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND EVEN IF HE IS,
HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DEALING
WITH A 16-YEAR-OLD KID,
NOT A CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I TELL YA, THIS WHOLE THING'S
MAKIN' ME CRAZY!
ARE YOU THREATENED BY HIM?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}OF COURSE NOT!
WHAT KIND OF A THING
IS THAT TO SAY?
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WHAT IS THAT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THINK YOU OUGHT TO STEP BACK
AND GET YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I COULDN'T
AGREE WITH YOU MORE!
[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(531,460)}KEN?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}DON'T CUT HIM FROM THE TEAM.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}ROUNDBALL.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YEAH,
THEY SHOOT PRETTY GOOD.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THIS IS BORING.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED
WITH THESE GUYS BEFORE?
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(258,404)}COME ON. LET'S GO.
LOCK UP, JACKSON.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}UH-HUH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}UH, EXCUSE THE INTERRUPTION.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE'RE FROM THE
CARVER ACADEMY OF BASKETBALL
AND OTHER FINE ARTS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE'VE BEEN TRAVELING THROUGHOUT
THIS FAIR COMMUNITY...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TEACHING THE SPORT TO THOSE
LESS FORTUNATE THAN OURSELVES.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE WERE OBSERVING YOUR PLAY
FROM OUR COMPANY CAR,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND WE THOUGHT THAT
YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM
ONE OF OUR CLINICS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}OH, YEAH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, WE RUN
SOME CLINICS OURSELVES
EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO FAR,
WE WON SEVEN OUT OF EIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT IT
EVERY WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IN THE SPORTS SECTION
OF YOUR LOCAL PAPER.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}THAT MUST MEAN
YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}ADEQUATE.
[ Thorpe ]
OH-HO!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, UM, THOUGH WE ARE
A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE DO OCCASIONALLY PERFORM
FOR, SAY, A SMALL FEE...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GOING TO OUR, UM,
SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}HOW MUCH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, THERE'S FOUR OF YOU,
FOUR OF US.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}EACH LOSER PAYS 10.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU MUST HAVE
ONE HELL OF A LEFT HAND.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}OH, NO, NOT ME.
HIM.
{\a1\pos(324,432)}WELL! COLLINS!
I HEARD YOU JOINED
A COMMUNE, MAN.
{\a1\pos(72,432)}TRANSFERRED DOWNTOWN,
THAT'S ALL.
HOW YOU MAKIN' OUT DOWN THERE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Collins ]
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THAT'S NICE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THESE BOYS HAVE
CONSENTED TO WAGER...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}A FEW OF THEIR
HARD-EARNED DOLLARS
IN A GAME OF ROUNDBALL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SO LET'S DO IT.
WE AIN'T GETTIN' PAID
BY THE HOUR.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YEAH, 11 BUCKETS.
WIN BY TWO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}- YOU TAKE LOVER BOY.
- LET'S DO IT! COME ON!
{\a1\pos(258,460)}PUT YOUR STUFF DOWN!
LET'S GO!
{\a1\pos(282,432)}COME ON!
COME ON, MAN!
LET'S GET OUT THERE!
{\a1\pos(90,460)}HEY, C.J.! COME ON, MAN!
DO SOMETHIN' WITH IT,
WILL YOU, MAN?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}[ Chattering ]
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COLLINS, COME ON, MAN!
WHAT YOU DOIN'?
PLAY BALL, MAN! HE'S WIDE OPEN!
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WAY TO BE, C.J.!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON-- HEY! NO, COME ON, MAN!
PLAY SOME "D"!
HE'S TAKIN' IT UP!
{\a1\pos(90,460)}COME ON, COLLINS, MAN!
PLAY SOME DEFENSE!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, SALAMI, PICK HIM UP, MAN.
HELP THE BOY OUT.
YOU SEE HE CAN'T PLAY, MAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU CAN PAY ME NOW,
OR YOU CAN PAY ME LATER.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YEAH, I GOT MORE THAN
AN ARM IN THIS SLING
FOR YOU, CHUMP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, SALAMI.
GIVE ME THE KEYS TO YOUR CAR.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M GONNA SPLIT
IF Y'ALL DON'T PLAY, MAN.
{\a1\pos(258,404)}YEAH!
MY MAIN MAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}TAKE IT TO 'EM!
ALL RIGHT!
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SHAKE AND BAKE!
SHAKE AND BAKE!
{\a1\pos(342,460)}GO, COLLINS!
ALL RIGHT!
{\a1\pos(426,460)}LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}ALL RIGHT!
MY MAN, COLLINS!
{\a1\pos(279,460)}IT AIN'T OVER
UNTIL IT'S OVER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}PLAY LIKE THAT WITH A REF,
YOU WON'T BE PLAYIN' LONG.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}- UH, PASS THE LETTUCE, PLEASE.
- COLLINS ALWAYS DID LIKE
THAT PHYSICAL GAME.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAVEN'T YOU DUDES FOUND
THAT COLLINS LIKES
A PHYSICAL KIND OF GAME?
{\a1\pos(90,432)}YOU WANNA KEEP THE $10,
GO AHEAD. I DON'T NEED IT.
THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN
THE SAME AROUND HERE
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}-HEY, LEAVE IT ALONE.
-LISTEN, CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT
IF YOU'D LIKE ANOTHER CLINIC.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU SEEM TO BE DOING ALL RIGHT
FOR YOURSELF, LOVER BOY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}FOUR NEW BOYFRIENDS
SINCE YOU AND HAROLD BROKE UP.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN' TO SAY?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN'
TO SAY TO HIM?
{\a1\pos(342,432)}GO AWAY.
IT'S TOO EARLY.
FOR WHAT?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ANYTHING OTHER THAN COFFEE
AND A SPORTS PAGE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE HAD, I ASSUMED,
AN UNDERSTANDING...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT WHAT IS DISCUSSED
IN MY OFFICE
REMAINS IN MY OFFICE--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT YOU DO NOT BROADCAST
OUR CONVERSATIONS
TO YOUR BASKETBALL TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHATEVER YOU'RE LEADING UP TO,
I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW,
YOU'RE WRONG.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}APPARENTLY,
THAT IMPLICIT UNDERSTANDING...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SHOULD'VE BEEN EXPLICITLY
WRITTEN OUT FOR YOU
IN EASY-TO-READ LETTERS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU KNOW, I STILL THINK
THE BULLS ARE GONNA
STEAL A SPOT IN THE PLAY-OFFS.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHO DID YOU TALK TO ABOUT
RAYMOND COLLINS' HOMOSEXUALITY?
ONLY WALTER CRONKITE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YOU'RE NOT SO FUNNY.
WILL YOU COME ON, SYBIL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BEFORE THIS MORNING,
ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BESIDES JIM WILLIS AND ME
KNEW ANYTHING AT ALL
ABOUT RAYMOND COLLINS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}- TA-DA!
- NOW THE ENTIRE SCHOOL
IS TALKING.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}WHAT?
{\a1\pos(198,432)}HOW?
I THINK I'M LOOKING AT
THE LEADING POSSIBILITY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}FORGET IT.
UNLESS I WAS WHISPERING
IN MY SLEEP...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHEN SOME OF CARVER'S FINEST
WERE ROBBING MY PLACE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT ABOUT YOUR
MAD GANG OF DRIBBLERS?
WHAT'D YOU SAY TO THEM?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEY DON'T KNOW
THE TIME OF DAY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}[ Chuckles ]
WELL, THEY DO NOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAYWARD!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'D KNOW THAT RUN ANYWHERE.
{\a1\pos(219,432)}I WASN'T TOKIN'
ON NOTHIN', MAN.
YEAH, SURE YOU WEREN'T.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IT'S KIND OF BAD FOR
MY IMAGE TO BE SEEN STANDIN'
AROUND HERE TALKIN' TO YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WILL YOU CUT THE SPEECH?
I GOT SOME IMPORTANT STUFF
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT'S THE STORY WITH COLLINS?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GRAPEVINE HAS IT THAT, UH,
HE'D BE
A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IN THE LADIES' DRESSIN' ROOM
THAN IN OURS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HAVE YOU TALKED WITH HIM
ABOUT IT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT,
PANTY HOSE?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHEN YOU TURN OFF,
YOU REALLY TURN OFF.
WELL--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU MENTION IT
TO THE OTHER GUYS?
COOLIDGE? THORPE? GOMEZ?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE TALKED ABOUT IT
A LITTLE, MAN. I MEAN,
THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I MEAN, IT'S BAD
FOR THE TEAM IMAGE,
FOR THE MORALE, YOU KNOW?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I MEAN, IT'S LIKE
CROSSING YOUR LEGS ON THE BENCH.
YOU JUST DON'T DO THAT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEN THERE'S, YOU KNOW,
THE OBVIOUS THING.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I MEAN, THE DRESSING ROOM'S
SMALL ENOUGH ALREADY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT TRYIN' TO CHANGE CLOTHES
INSIDE YOUR OWN LOCKER ROOM,
I MEAN--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,404)}YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?
YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}LOOK, NOBODY DOWN HERE
OWNS A LOT OF STUFF,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}EXCEPT COCKROACHES
AND A REPUTATION.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF YOU SCORE DOWN HERE,
THE REASON'S SIMPLE.
IT'S 'CAUSE YOU'RE STRONGEST.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND IF YOU GET IN A FIGHT WHEN
YOU'RE SIX OR SEVEN YEARS OLD,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AIN'T NOBODY GONNA
TRY TO STOP IT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEY MIGHT BET ON YOU
OR BET AGAINST YOU--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SEE WHO'S GONNA WIN,
WHO'S GONNA COME OUT ON TOP,
WHO'S GONNA GET A REPUTATION.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DOWN HERE, A GAY DUDE'S AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE TOTEM POLE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YEAH, OKAY, BUT--
THERE'S NO "BUTS," MAN.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Sighs ]
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT MAY BE THE BOTTOM LINE.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T WANNA HEAR
ANY COLLINS JOKES.
NO PUT-DOWNS, NO PUT-ONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T WANNA HEAR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT
COMIN' OUT OF THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}IS THAT CLEAR?
IT AIN'T REALLY UP TO ME, MAN.
{\a1\pos(426,432)}CAN I GO?
YEAH, YEAH.
YOU CAN GO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Chattering, Shouting ]
{\a1\pos(195,460)}CRENSHAW TOMORROW, HUH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT'S RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}TOUGHEST GAME OF THE SEASON
SO FAR, ISN'T IT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TWO FOR TWO.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEY BLENDING ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}TIGHTER THAN A--
SPARE ME THE METAPHOR.
JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THERE'S NOT A LOT HAPPENING
IN THE UPPER ECHELON
THIS AFTERNOON,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO I THOUGHT I COULD RELAX
COURTSIDE FOR A WHILE.
{\a1\pos(174,404)}HELP YOURSELF.
[ Whistle Blowing ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY OVER HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, NOW,
WE GOT CRENSHAW TOMORROW NIGHT,
AND NO THORPE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THEY TELL ME HE'S ACTUALLY
GOT A SMALL MUSCLE TEAR,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO THE REST OF YOU ARE JUST
GONNA HAVE TO SUCK IT IN
AND MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT WE LOSE IN TALENT,
WE GAIN IN INCHES.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}AND EYESIGHT.
AND SYMPATHY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,
WE'VE BEEN KIND OF
SLOPPY ON THE REBOUND.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO I WANNA WORK ON THAT NOW.
I WANNA GO THREE-ON-THREE,
HALF COURT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THE OFFENSE CAN FREELANCE.
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
TAKE A GOOD SHOT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DEFENSE,
WHEN THE BALL GOES UP,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT YOU TO GET ON YOUR MAN
AND HOLD HIM AWAY
FROM THE BOARDS.
{\a1\pos(111,460)}IF YOU BOX OUT RIGHT ON
DEFENSE, THERE SHOULD BE
NO OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE DON'T WANT THEM GETTIN'
TWO AND THREE SHOTS AT THE
BUCKET EVERY TIME UP THE COURT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ON ONE TEAM, WE GOT SALAMI,
COOLIDGE AND JACKSON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE OTHER TEAM, IT'S COLLINS,
GOLDSTEIN AND HAYWARD.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}LET'S GO!
GET UP THERE!
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT.
{\a1\pos(258,404)}CATCH YOU LATER.
GIVE UP THE SHOT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GET OFF OF ME!
{\a1\pos(111,460)}HEY. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
HOLD IT!
YOU GOT A PROBLEM, SALAMI?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}TAKE IT!
JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}HEY, YOU TAKE
AN EARLY SHOWER, SALAMI.
ANYTIME, BUDDY!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH, WOULDN'T YOU JUST
LOVE THAT.
MOVE IT. MOVE IT!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE COURT'S THIS WAY, COLLINS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT,
ALL YOU GUYS OVER HERE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ALL RIGHT, SIT ON IT,
ALL OF YOU!
{\a1\pos(258,460)}NOW, LOOK.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}NOBODY KNOWS LESS
ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY
THAN I DO,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION
OF ALL OF YOU GUYS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT I DO KNOW, I'VE READ...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}EITHER IN A MAGAZINE
OR ON A BATHROOM WALL,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}NEITHER OF WHICH
HELD MY ATTENTION
FOR VERY LONG.
{\a1\pos(111,460)}UH, NOT UNDERSTANDING IT
ON ANY LEVEL NEVER
BOTHERED ME TOO MUCH,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BECAUSE, FRANKLY,
I NEVER COUNTED ON
RUNNING INTO IT ON ANY LEVEL.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I NEVER COUNTED ON
HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}BUT, UH, JUST LET ME
TELL YOU A FEW THINGS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HOMOSEXUALITY--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WELL, I MEAN,
CERTAIN PEOPLE--
{\a1\pos(258,460)}UM--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY
IS THAT JUST--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I MEAN, THERE ARE A LOT
OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE,
VERY TALENTED PEOPLE--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ACTORS, WRITERS,
PAINTERS, POLITICIANS--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, COME ON.
WHO GIVES TWO CENTS ABOUT THEM?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S NOT THE REAL WORLD.
THOSE GUYS AIN'T THE REAL WORLD.
{\a1\pos(51,432)}THEY'RE DIFFERENT ANYWAYS.
WOULD YOU MIND TRANSLATING THAT
FOR ME, GOMEZ?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON, MAN.
YOU DON'T NEED NO TRANSLATION.
THE HANDWRITING'S ON THE WALL.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE AIN'T FOR COLLINS,
AND COLLINS AIN'T FOR US.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}OH, I SEE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DID ANY OF YOU
MEN OF COMPASSION,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU SUFFERERS
OF DOWNTRODDEN MINORITIES,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}EVER THINK TO TAKE THE TIME
TO ASK COLLINS HIMSELF?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THERE AIN'T NOTHIN'
TO TALK ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}NO?
NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT YOU GUYS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GUILT BY ACCUSATION.
NEVER GIVE A GUY A BREAK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}NEVER TAKE THE TIME
TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU GOT IT WRONG, COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE GOT IT RIGHT FROM
THE HORSE'S MOUTH WHEN WE PLAYED
HALF-COURT LAST SATURDAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YEAH, COACH.
HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.
HER NAME IS HAROLD.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ANYBODY SPOKEN TO HAROLD?
{\a1\pos(111,460)}NO. NOBODY SPOKE TO HAROLD.
BOY, I LOVE IT.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}YOU'RE ALL FOR EQUALITY
AND FAIR PLAY...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AS LONG AS IT APPLIES TO YOU.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT IF IT HAS TO DO
WITH THE OTHER GUY,
THE HELL WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}HEY, LOOK HERE, COACH,
WE AIN'T THE U.N., YOU KNOW.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}I KNOW THAT AS SURE
AS I'M STANDIN' HERE,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS,
NOBODY SPOKE TO HAROLD,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}NOBODY SPOKE TO COLLINS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU GUYS JUST
TOOK IT ON YOURSELVES
TO BLOW THE GUY AWAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M DISGUSTED WITH YOU.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}[ Knocking ]
YEAH?
{\a1\pos(342,404)}KEN REEVES?
RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}JOE KELLY FROM PALISADES.
HOW ARE YA?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, I REALLY APPRECIATE
YOUR COMIN' DOWN. HERE I AM
ASKIN' YOU FOR A FAVOR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I SHOULD HAVE MADE THE DRIVE,
SO THANKS.
{\a1\pos(90,404)}HAVE A SEAT.
NO, MY PLEASURE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE
THE GROUND FLOOR OF
A BASKETBALL DYNASTY FIRSTHAND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THINK
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
A COUPLE OF SEASONS FOR THAT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT'S NOT WHAT I HEAR.
NOT WHAT I READ
IN THE PAPER EITHER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT
A CENTER NAMED COOLIDGE...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT EVERY COLLEGE IN
THE COUNTRY IS GONNA BID FOR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, HE DOES SHOW
SOME PROMISE.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AND WHAT ABOUT
YOUR GUARD THORPE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, POTENTIALLY,
HE'S AS FINE A DEFENSIVE PLAYER
AS MEMMINGER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITH TIME,
HE COULD GENERATE AN OFFENSE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SO YOU COULD SAY THINGS
ARE WORKING OUT HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
RAYMOND COLLINS TRANSFERRED IN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THOUGHT MAYBE
YOU COULD FILL IN THE BLANKS.
{\a1\pos(174,432)}DID A LOT OF FIGHTING.
THAT I KNOW ABOUT
FROM THE TRANSCRIPT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHY?
WELL, THERE WAS
A LOT OF TALK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}FINGER POINTING THAT, UH,
MAYBE HE WASN'T
SUCH A REGULAR GUY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, WASN'T HE?
{\a1\pos(198,432)}I DON'T KNOW.
ANYTHING HAPPEN?
ANY KIND OF INVOLVEMENT?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}ALL I HEARD WERE RUMORS.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WERE THEY CONFIRMED?
NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, YOU KNOW THE LOCKER ROOM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THE STORIES RUN FROM
RAQUEL WELCH TO TINY TIM...
{\a1\pos(111,460)}TO THE GIRL IN
THE RED TURTLENECK SWEATER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT THAT'S ALL
HEARSAY AND INNUENDO.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}[ Chuckles ]
IT WAS FOR THE OLD MAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE GOT WIND OF THOSE RUMORS.
HE PULLED THE KID OUT OF PALI
FASTER THAN YOU CAN SPIT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT WHY DOWN HERE?
THE KID'S WAY OUT
OF HIS DISTRICT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}FIRST OF ALL, THE FATHER
HAS SCHOOL BOARD CONNECTIONS.
A REAL HEAVYWEIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE PULLED SOME STRINGS
TO GET HIM IN HERE,
I GUESS, BECAUSE HE FIGURED...
{\a1\pos(90,432)}CARVER WAS ROUGH ENOUGH
TO MAKE A MAN OUT OF HIM.
OH, TERRIFIC!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF YOU CAN'T LICK THE THING
INTERNALLY, MAYBE A ROUGH
COVER COAT'LL DO THE JOB.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU KNOW WHAT BURNS ME
ABOUT THIS THE MOST?
WHAT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT ALL SMACKS OF McCARTHYISM.
GUILT BY ACCUSATION
AND INNUENDO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
IF IT WERE ALL LIES,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THE KID WOULD STILL BE
IN PALI INSTEAD OF HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, MAYBE.
YOU EVER TALK TO THE KID,
ASK HIM THE TRUTH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS
ANY OF MY BUSINESS.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}COME ON. I'LL SHOW YOU
THE REST OF THE DYNASTY.
TERRIFIC.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Sighs ]
LOOK, THE REASON
I HAD YOU COME DOWN HERE...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IS BECAUSE IT'S LONG OVERDUE
WE HAD A LITTLE TALK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT ME ANYMORE,
'CAUSE I QUIT.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}YOU QUIT WHAT?
THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}DOES THAT MAKE YOU
FEEL BETTER?
OF COURSE.
{\a1\pos(342,432)}YOU JUST SOLVED
ALL MY PROBLEMS.
LUCKY YOU.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}UH-HUH.
SO, WHAT'S NEXT?
YOU GONNA QUIT CARVER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S A GOOD POSSIBILITY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEN WHERE'LL YOU GO?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OUT... FOR GOOD.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HOW OLD ARE YOU-- 16?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YEAH.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SIXTEEN'S TOUGH.
TOO YOUNG AND TOO OLD.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU THINK
YOU'RE HOMOSEXUAL?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I DON'T KNOW.
YOU MUST HAVE GIVEN IT
A LOT OF THOUGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF YOU MEAN HAVE I BEEN
WITH ANOTHER GUY, NO.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THE THOUGHT
EVER APPEAL TO YOU?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Chuckles ]
I DON'T KNOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I HAVEN'T REALLY
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU'VE BEEN CARRYING
QUITE A LARGE WEIGHT AROUND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I GUESS.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}LOOK,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M NOT TRYING
TO MAKE ANY MORAL JUDGMENTS
FOR YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE...
{\a1\pos(258,460)}ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT
AND WHAT IS WRONG,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT WHAT REALLY BURNS ME UP
IS THAT YOU'RE
RUNNIN' AWAY FROM SOMETHING...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}INSTEAD OF STANDING
YOUR GROUND AND BEING...
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WHOEVER OR WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO BE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Sighs ]
OKAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE WAS THIS GUY-- HAROLD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}A FRIEND OF MINE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ABOUT MY AGE.
WAS PART OF A GROUP
I HUNG OUT WITH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE WAS REALLY A FUNNY GUY.
HE USED TO DO IMPRESSIONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BOGART AND EDWARD G. ROBINSON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE COULD DO EVERYDAY PEOPLE TOO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND EVERYBODY LIKED HIM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GIRLS-- EVERYBODY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE WAS THE KIND OF GUY THAT-THAT
COULD BE FRIENDLY WITH EVERYONE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND AT THE SAME TIME SEEM
ESPECIALLY CLOSE PALS WITH YOU.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, I'VE NEVER BEEN
THAT KIND OF GUY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I MEAN, THE KIND THAT CAN
CALL A MILLION PEOPLE...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND, YOU KNOW, TALK THINGS OVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'VE ALWAYS RELIED ON
ONE FRIEND, ONE BEST FRIEND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND I WANTED TO BE
BEST FRIENDS WITH HAROLD,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}'CAUSE I HUNG AROUND HIM
A LOT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT HE KEPT BEING
JUST AS FRIENDLY
WITH EVERYONE ELSE,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND THAT BOTHERED ME.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}IT HURT ME.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}S-SO I TOLD HIM SO,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND THE WORD GOT AROUND.
{\a1\pos(258,404)}AND THEN IT STARTED?
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY SAY THAT IF YOU'RE JEALOUS
OF ANOTHER GUY'S TIME,
THAT YOU'RE NOT RIGHT--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT YOU'RE SICK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN ALL THE WISECRACKS.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AND THE FIGHTING
AND THE RUNNING?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YEAH, I'M NOT HAVING
WHAT YOU'D CALL
A BANNER YEAR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THOUGHT
THEY PAID GUIDANCE COUNSELORS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}FOR, UH, THIS SORT OF THING.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THEY DON'T LIKE
MAKING HOUSE CALLS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NEITHER DO I
IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORK DAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, IT SEEMS RAYMOND'S PROBLEM
HAS FOUND ITS WAY
ACROSS TOWN TO CARVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MEANING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MEANING THE JOKES AND THE
FIGHTING AND THE EMBARRASSMENT
HAVE STARTED AGAIN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Man ]
FOR GOD'S SAKE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU'D THINK HE'D KEEP
THAT MOUTH STAMPED SHUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I DON'T THINK HOW
IT STARTED AGAIN IS THE POINT.
IT WAS BOUND TO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S FINDING OUT WHAT
THE BEST WAY IS TO DEAL WITH
THE SITUATION THAT'S IMPORTANT.
{\a1\pos(279,460)}DON'T YOU THINK?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND YOU DON'T THINK
TRANSFERRING HIM INTO
YOUR SCHOOL IS THE WAY?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}FRANKLY, I THINK IT STINKS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}LEAVE US ALONE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}EXCUSE ME.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}LOOK, GYM COACH,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I DON'T CARE THAT MUCH
WHAT YOU THINK STINKS
AND WHAT DOESN'T.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHEN I START HEARING
FAG RUMORS ABOUT MY BOY
INSIDE THIS COMMUNITY,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN I TAKE HIM OUT OF HERE
AND PUT HIM INTO ANOTHER ONE--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ONE THAT'S NOT SO COMFORTABLE,
WHERE THEY DON'T CODDLE
THE STUDENTS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT IF IT'S ALL RUMOR?
HEARSAY? LIES?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SUPPOSE IT'S NOT?
WHERE THERE'S SMOKE,
THERE'S FIRE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND NO SON OF MINE IS
GONNA GET INVOLVED IN ANY...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT,
NOT WHILE I'M STILL ALIVE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HIS NEW SCHOOL
HEARS ALL THE RUMORS?
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YOU SHIP HIM OUT TO A THIRD?
AND THEN A FOURTH!
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YOU'RE WRONG.
I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT
YOUR SON'S RIGHTS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GO BACK TO YOUR GYMNASIUM,
PLEASE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I CAUGHT THE DIG BEFORE.
RIGHT NOW, YOUR BOY'S SCARED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
BUT IF YOU KEEP CONFIRMING
TO HIM AND EVERYONE ELSE...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT HE HAS
BY MOVING HIM ALL AROUND,
THEN WHAT HAVE YOU GAINED?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, WHETHER HE'S 16 OR 60,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PEOPLE RUN WHEN THEY'RE SCARED,
AND WHEN THEY'RE SCARED,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY DO THINGS WITHOUT THINKING,
WHICH IS EXACTLY
WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND WHAT HE MAY
VERY POSSIBLY DO LATER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BOY, YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WELL, TALK TO THE NURSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HIGH SCHOOL TEACHING
CAN AGE A MAN BEFORE HIS TIME.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I'VE DONE ENOUGH TALKING
FOR TODAY.
WITH WHOM?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COLLINS, COLLINS' COACH,
COLLINS' FATHER.
{\a1\pos(534,404)}AND?
0 FOR 3.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WHAT DID YOU HOPE
TO GAIN?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW.
I HOPED TO GAIN SOME FACTS,
SOME UNDERSTANDING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SOMETHING OTHER THAN TELLING
COLLINS' FATHER THAT IT STINKS
SENDING HIM HERE TO SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(240,404)}AND NOW?
NOW, I NEED YOUR HELP.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I WANT YOU TO SEND HIM
BACK TO PALI HIGH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}NOW, HOW CAN I DO THAT?
HE'S GOTTA WANNA
GO BACK HIMSELF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, BUT RUNNING AWAY
FROM PROBLEMS NEVER SOLVES 'EM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU AND I HAVE FACED
QUITE A FEW SINCE YOU CAME HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}AND THIS ONE IS RIGHT UP THERE
IN FIRST PLACE.
ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ANYWAY,
NOTHIN'S KEEPIN' HIM HERE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THE WORD'S OUT.
THE STATIC'S
ALL OVER THE SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE'S GONNA RUN AWAY AGAIN,
BUT THIS TIME HE WON'T BE
ENROLLING SOMEPLACE ELSE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DID HE TELL YOU THAT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, RIGHT NOW,
HE'S A VERY MIXED-UP KID...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITH ALL KINDS OF EMOTIONS
HE HAS TO SORT OUT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT LET'S FACE IT.
WHETHER OR NOT...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE HAS HOMOSEXUAL TENDENCIES
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT DOES MATTER
IS THAT RIGHT NOW,
HE'S LETTING INNUENDO...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BOUNCE HIM ALL OVER THE PLACE
LIKE A SHUTTLECOCK
IN A BADMINTON GAME.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.
IT'S USUALLY MY JOB TO
COAX THEM TO STAY, NOT TO GO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO JUST, UH, REVERSE
ALL YOUR ARGUMENTS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}OKAY. WHERE IS HE?
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THE GYM.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}FORGET IT, MISS BUCHANAN.
I'VE ALREADY MADE UP MY MIND.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT, WHAT, YOU'RE LEAVING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}I THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU SHOULD GO BACK
TO PALI HIGH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ARE YOU CRAZY?
IT'S WORSE THERE
THAN IT IS HERE.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WHICH IS WHY
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}NO WAY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEN WHERE WILL YOU GO?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MEXICO, MAYBE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU CAN'T DO THAT, RAYMOND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M 16, AND I HAVE
MY OWN BANK ACCOUNT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHAT ABOUT
YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT-IT WOULD SIT FINE
WITH THEM.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU'RE BEING
PRETTY HARD ON THEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Sighs ]
THEY ACT AS IF
I HAVE LEPROSY OR SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}IT'S NOT YOU.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}IT'S THE SITUATION.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}THEY LOVE YOU,
{\a1\pos(342,460)}AND SO THEY'RE
AFRAID FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY
A LITTLE FRIGHTENED ABOUT
THIS WHOLE THING TOO.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}I WOULD BE.
YOU KNOW,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU'RE A VERY STRONG
YOUNG MAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HAS ANYONE EVER
TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE?
{\a1\pos(258,404)}NO.
YOU ARE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}TOO STRONG TO RUN AWAY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I DON'T THINK SO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IN 1952,
MY FAMILY LIVED IN OREGON.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}MY OLDER BROTHER ANDREW
WAS ONE OF ONLY
11 BLACK CHILDREN...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IN THE ENTIRE
GROVER COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HE AND ANOTHER BOY
NAMED MICHAEL DODD...
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WERE THE ONLY BLACKS
IN A GRADE SCHOOL
OF OVER 300.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THEY FELT OUT OF PLACE
AND VERY SELF-CONSCIOUS...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND SPENT MOST OF THE TIME
WITH THEIR HEADS DOWN.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}ONE AFTERNOON,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THEY EACH FOUND
A DRAWING IN THEIR DESKS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}VERY VICIOUS AND CRUEL DRAWINGS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND LATER THAT DAY,
MY BROTHER CAME HOME CRYING...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND HE SWORE TO
OUR MOTHER AND ME...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT HE WOULD NEVER GO BACK.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}NOW, I REMEMBER...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}MY MOTHER QUIETED HIM
FIRST, AND--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND THEN SHE TOLD HIM
THAT SHE'D FOUND
THAT THE WORLD...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAS BROKEN UP INTO
FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}25% THAT LIKE YOU
FOR THE RIGHT REASONS,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}25% THAT LIKE YOU
FOR THE WRONG REASONS,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}25% THAT DON'T LIKE YOU
FOR THE WRONG REASONS,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AND 25%...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT DON'T LIKE YOU...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY
THE LAST GROUP OF PEOPLE...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT ANYONE SHOULD BE
CONCERNED ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}[ Sobbing ]
{\a1\pos(258,460)}IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}OH, GOD.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(342,460)}I'M OKAY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}- ARE YOU OKAY?
- YEAH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU.
PASSIN' TIME DOWN HERE FOR?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}COLLINS LEFT PALISADES HIGH
FOR FIGHTING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALLEGEDLY,
HE'S A HOMOSEXUAL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU AGAIN.
I'M THINKIN' OF
DROPPIN' HIM FROM THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
I'M ASHAMED OF YOU.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NOBODY DOWN HERE OWNS A LOT
OF STUFF. AND IF YOU SCORE
DOWN HERE, THE REASON'S SIMPLE.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}IT'S 'CAUSE
YOU'RE STRONGEST.
{\a1\pos(195,432)}HEY. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
HOLD IT!
ANYTIME, BUDDY!
{\a1\pos(279,460)}[ Salami ]
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Hayward ]
YOU AIN'T GOTTA TELL ME, MAN.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}I WAS HOPIN'
HE WOULDN'T SHOW UP.
NOW WE CAN'T SLEEP.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE'S NO JUSTICE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YEAH, WELL,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS
ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITH MISS KAPLAN OUT,
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO
FINISH OFF MY EGGPLANT PARMESAN.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}WHAT ARE YOU THREE CLOWNS
WHISPERIN' ABOUT?
NOTHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH BY NOW
TO KNOW I'M NOT HAPPY.
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}- YOU WANT THE TRUTH?
- NO, I WANT FAIRY TALES.
OUT WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WE GET ENOUGH OF YOU
IN THE GYM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE COME HERE FOURTH PERIOD,
WE EXPECT A LITTLE REST.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT MAKES TWO OF US.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
MISS KAPLAN'S TAUGHT YOU,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}BUT I'M SURE THAT, UH,
SOMEWHERE ALONG
THE LINE IN LIFE,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THINGS LIKE SOUFFLÉS
WILL BE VERY VALUABLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A COURSE IN SURVIVAL COOKING.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}BY THAT,
I MEAN FRYING BACON,
SCRAMBLING EGGS,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HOW TO TAKE CARE OF
YOURSELF IN THE KITCHEN.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'LL ALSO GIVE YOU THE KEY
TO MAKING A VERY GOOD STEAK,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND, I MIGHT ADD,
THERE'S NOTHING TO
A BAKED POTATO.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Girl ]
EXCUSE ME, MR. REEVES.
YEAH?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}EGGPLANT PARMESAN AND SOUFFLÉS
MAY BE UNIMPORTANT TO YOU,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT THERE'S NOT
A SINGLE GIRL IN THIS ROOM...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE
THE THINGS YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU SEE, WHAT WE WERE
REALLY HOPING FOR...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAS A RECIPE YOU COULD SHARE
WITH US THAT WE MIGHT NOT
BE ABLE TO GET FROM MISS KAPLAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

- DON'T START WITH ME.

{\a1\pos(90,432)}HAVE A SEAT.
I'LL GET EVEN.
BE A GOOD SPORT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IT'S HARD WHEN
THE OTHER TEAM PLAYS DIRTY.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}THANK YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WHERE YOU COMIN' FROM?
OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I GUESS EITHER
YOUR DADDY'S GONE BANKRUPT,
OR ELSE YOU KILLED A MAN.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN SWAP
HOMICIDE STORIES LATER.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}COLLINS, WHAT ARE YOU
TAKING HOME EC FOR?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE TOO NEW
IN THIS SCHOOL TO KNOW
THAT IT'S A GUT COURSE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I LIKE TO BAKE,
AND I HAVE A LOT
OF ECLECTIC INTERESTS.
{\a1\pos(111,460)}[ Stifled Giggling ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT DOES "ECLECTIC" MEAN?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I THINK IT'S
SOMETHIN' RELIGIOUS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IT MEANS "VARIED."
{\a1\pos(195,460)}I{\r} KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
I WANTED TO SEE
IF MY BALLPLAYERS KNEW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BALLPLAYERS? I THOUGHT
YOU WERE THE HOME EC TEACHER?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}[ Laughter ]
DO I LOOK LIKE
THE HOME EC TEACHER?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THE APRON FITS.

WITH THE CHICAGO BULLS.

IN THE HIGH SCHOOL I CAME FROM.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}REALLY?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}- INSIDE OR OUTSIDE?
- FORWARD.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}MAYBE YOU COULD DROP BY
THE GYM ON YOUR WAY HOME.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}OKAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I KNEW WE HAD
A SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS,
BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
{\a1\pos(387,404)}I'LL SAY.
COLLINS, RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(324,404)}RIGHT.
TELL ME SOMETHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,96)}WHAT'S AN UPTOWN DUDE LIKE YOU
PASSIN' TIME DOWN HERE FOR?
{\a1\pos(174,96)}OH, YOU MEAN DOIN' TIME.
HUH?
{\a1\pos(90,124)}I WAS DEALIN'
A LITTLE DRUGS ON THE SIDE.
SAY WHAT?
{\a1\pos(12,96)}BECAUSE OF MY PARENTS'
CONNECTIONS, I GOT SENT HERE...
{\a1\pos(90,68)}INSTEAD OF REFORM SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU'D HAVE DONE BETTER
TO GO TO REFORM SCHOOL.
RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}SAY, COLLINS, JUST, UM,
HOW UPTOWN ARE YOU?
VERY.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}DIETING?
LISTEN.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHEN TWO ANGEL-FACED

{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT THEY'VE GOT FIVE DOLLARS
RIDING ON WHAT YOU WEIGH,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND THE CLOSEST GUESS
IS EIGHT POUNDS OVER,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU BETTER START EATING
LIKE A BIRD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE TRICK IS EXERCISE, SYBIL,
NOT STARVATION. HERE.
{\a1\pos(51,432)}OH! NO, NO, NO!
COME ON DOWN TO THE GYM. YOU'LL
WORK IT OFF IN 20 MINUTES.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU MEAN ONE-ON-ONE
WITH COOLIDGE?
OH, NO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAY:
YOUR BODY IS YOUR TEMPLE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SAY, UH, YOU GOT ANY IDEA
WHEN MISS KAPLAN
IS COMIN' BACK TO SCHOOL?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S ONE THING TO PINCH-HIT.
IT'S QUITE ANOTHER
TO BE THE DESIGNATED HITTER.

OF ME GETTIN' A PEEK

ABOUT IT, COACH.

{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,404)}YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?
YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}LOOK, NOBODY DOWN HERE
OWNS A LOT OF STUFF,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}EXCEPT COCKROACHES
AND A REPUTATION.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF YOU SCORE DOWN HERE,
THE REASON'S SIMPLE.
IT'S 'CAUSE YOU'RE STRONGEST.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND IF YOU GET IN A FIGHT WHEN
YOU'RE SIX OR SEVEN YEARS OLD,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AIN'T NOBODY GONNA
TRY TO STOP IT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEY MIGHT BET ON YOU
OR BET AGAINST YOU--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SEE WHO'S GONNA WIN,
WHO'S GONNA COME OUT ON TOP,
WHO'S GONNA GET A REPUTATION.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}DOWN HERE, A GAY DUDE'S AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE TOTEM POLE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YEAH, OKAY, BUT--
THERE'S NO "BUTS," MAN.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Sighs ]
ALL RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT MAY BE THE BOTTOM LINE.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T WANNA HEAR
ANY COLLINS JOKES.
NO PUT-DOWNS, NO PUT-ONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T WANNA HEAR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT
COMIN' OUT OF THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}IS THAT CLEAR?
IT AIN'T REALLY UP TO ME, MAN.
{\a1\pos(426,432)}CAN I GO?
YEAH, YEAH.
YOU CAN GO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Chattering, Shouting ]
{\a1\pos(195,460)}CRENSHAW TOMORROW, HUH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT'S RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}TOUGHEST GAME OF THE SEASON
SO FAR, ISN'T IT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}TWO FOR TWO.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEY BLENDING ALL RIGHT?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}TIGHTER THAN A--
SPARE ME THE METAPHOR.
JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THERE'S NOT A LOT HAPPENING
IN THE UPPER ECHELON
THIS AFTERNOON,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO I THOUGHT I COULD RELAX
COURTSIDE FOR A WHILE.
{\a1\pos(174,404)}HELP YOURSELF.
[ Whistle Blowing ]
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY OVER HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT, NOW,
WE GOT CRENSHAW TOMORROW NIGHT,
AND NO THORPE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THEY TELL ME HE'S ACTUALLY
GOT A SMALL MUSCLE TEAR,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO THE REST OF YOU ARE JUST
GONNA HAVE TO SUCK IT IN
AND MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT WE LOSE IN TALENT,
WE GAIN IN INCHES.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}AND EYESIGHT.
AND SYMPATHY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,
WE'VE BEEN KIND OF
SLOPPY ON THE REBOUND.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO I WANNA WORK ON THAT NOW.
I WANNA GO THREE-ON-THREE,
HALF COURT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THE OFFENSE CAN FREELANCE.
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
TAKE A GOOD SHOT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DEFENSE,
WHEN THE BALL GOES UP,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I WANT YOU TO GET ON YOUR MAN
AND HOLD HIM AWAY
FROM THE BOARDS.
{\a1\pos(111,460)}IF YOU BOX OUT RIGHT ON
DEFENSE, THERE SHOULD BE
NO OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE DON'T WANT THEM GETTIN'
TWO AND THREE SHOTS AT THE
BUCKET EVERY TIME UP THE COURT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ON ONE TEAM, WE GOT SALAMI,
COOLIDGE AND JACKSON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE OTHER TEAM, IT'S COLLINS,
GOLDSTEIN AND HAYWARD.
LET'S GO.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}LET'S GO!
GET UP THERE!
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT.
{\a1\pos(258,404)}CATCH YOU LATER.
GIVE UP THE SHOT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}GET OFF OF ME!
{\a1\pos(111,460)}HEY. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
HOLD IT!
YOU GOT A PROBLEM, SALAMI?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}TAKE IT!
JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}HEY, YOU TAKE
AN EARLY SHOWER, SALAMI.
ANYTIME, BUDDY!
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YEAH, WOULDN'T YOU JUST
LOVE THAT.
MOVE IT. MOVE IT!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THE COURT'S THIS WAY, COLLINS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ALL RIGHT,
ALL YOU GUYS OVER HERE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ALL RIGHT, SIT ON IT,
ALL OF YOU!
{\a1\pos(258,460)}NOW, LOOK.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}NOBODY KNOWS LESS
ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY
THAN I DO,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION
OF ALL OF YOU GUYS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT I DO KNOW, I'VE READ...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}EITHER IN A MAGAZINE
OR ON A BATHROOM WALL,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}NEITHER OF WHICH
HELD MY ATTENTION
FOR VERY LONG.
{\a1\pos(111,460)}UH, NOT UNDERSTANDING IT
ON ANY LEVEL NEVER
BOTHERED ME TOO MUCH,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BECAUSE, FRANKLY,
I NEVER COUNTED ON
RUNNING INTO IT ON ANY LEVEL.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I NEVER COUNTED ON
HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}BUT, UH, JUST LET ME
TELL YOU A FEW THINGS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HOMOSEXUALITY--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WELL, I MEAN,
CERTAIN PEOPLE--
{\a1\pos(258,460)}UM--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY
IS THAT JUST--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I MEAN, THERE ARE A LOT
OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE,
VERY TALENTED PEOPLE--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ACTORS, WRITERS,
PAINTERS, POLITICIANS--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, COME ON.
WHO GIVES TWO CENTS ABOUT THEM?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S NOT THE REAL WORLD.
THOSE GUYS AIN'T THE REAL WORLD.
{\a1\pos(51,432)}THEY'RE DIFFERENT ANYWAYS.
WOULD YOU MIND TRANSLATING THAT
FOR ME, GOMEZ?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COME ON, MAN.
YOU DON'T NEED NO TRANSLATION.
THE HANDWRITING'S ON THE WALL.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WE AIN'T FOR COLLINS,
AND COLLINS AIN'T FOR US.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}OH, I SEE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DID ANY OF YOU
MEN OF COMPASSION,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU SUFFERERS
OF DOWNTRODDEN MINORITIES,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}EVER THINK TO TAKE THE TIME
TO ASK COLLINS HIMSELF?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THERE AIN'T NOTHIN'
TO TALK ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}NO?
NO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT YOU GUYS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GUILT BY ACCUSATION.
NEVER GIVE A GUY A BREAK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}NEVER TAKE THE TIME
TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU GOT IT WRONG, COACH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WE GOT IT RIGHT FROM
THE HORSE'S MOUTH WHEN WE PLAYED
HALF-COURT LAST SATURDAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YEAH, COACH.
HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.
HER NAME IS HAROLD.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ANYBODY SPOKEN TO HAROLD?
{\a1\pos(111,460)}NO. NOBODY SPOKE TO HAROLD.
BOY, I LOVE IT.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}YOU'RE ALL FOR EQUALITY
AND FAIR PLAY...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AS LONG AS IT APPLIES TO YOU.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT IF IT HAS TO DO
WITH THE OTHER GUY,
THE HELL WITH IT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}HEY, LOOK HERE, COACH,
WE AIN'T THE U.N., YOU KNOW.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}I KNOW THAT AS SURE
AS I'M STANDIN' HERE,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS,
NOBODY SPOKE TO HAROLD,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}NOBODY SPOKE TO COLLINS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU GUYS JUST
TOOK IT ON YOURSELVES
TO BLOW THE GUY AWAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M DISGUSTED WITH YOU.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}[ Knocking ]
YEAH?
{\a1\pos(342,404)}KEN REEVES?
RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}JOE KELLY FROM PALISADES.
HOW ARE YA?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HEY, I REALLY APPRECIATE
YOUR COMIN' DOWN. HERE I AM
ASKIN' YOU FOR A FAVOR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I SHOULD HAVE MADE THE DRIVE,
SO THANKS.
{\a1\pos(90,404)}HAVE A SEAT.
NO, MY PLEASURE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE
THE GROUND FLOOR OF
A BASKETBALL DYNASTY FIRSTHAND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THINK
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
A COUPLE OF SEASONS FOR THAT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT'S NOT WHAT I HEAR.
NOT WHAT I READ
IN THE PAPER EITHER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT
A CENTER NAMED COOLIDGE...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT EVERY COLLEGE IN
THE COUNTRY IS GONNA BID FOR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, HE DOES SHOW
SOME PROMISE.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AND WHAT ABOUT
YOUR GUARD THORPE?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, POTENTIALLY,
HE'S AS FINE A DEFENSIVE PLAYER
AS MEMMINGER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITH TIME,
HE COULD GENERATE AN OFFENSE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SO YOU COULD SAY THINGS
ARE WORKING OUT HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
RAYMOND COLLINS TRANSFERRED IN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THOUGHT MAYBE
YOU COULD FILL IN THE BLANKS.
{\a1\pos(174,432)}DID A LOT OF FIGHTING.
THAT I KNOW ABOUT
FROM THE TRANSCRIPT.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}WHY?
WELL, THERE WAS
A LOT OF TALK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}FINGER POINTING THAT, UH,
MAYBE HE WASN'T
SUCH A REGULAR GUY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, WASN'T HE?
{\a1\pos(198,432)}I DON'T KNOW.
ANYTHING HAPPEN?
ANY KIND OF INVOLVEMENT?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}ALL I HEARD WERE RUMORS.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}WERE THEY CONFIRMED?
NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, YOU KNOW THE LOCKER ROOM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THE STORIES RUN FROM
RAQUEL WELCH TO TINY TIM...
{\a1\pos(111,460)}TO THE GIRL IN
THE RED TURTLENECK SWEATER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT THAT'S ALL
HEARSAY AND INNUENDO.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
{\a1\pos(195,460)}[ Chuckles ]
IT WAS FOR THE OLD MAN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE GOT WIND OF THOSE RUMORS.
HE PULLED THE KID OUT OF PALI
FASTER THAN YOU CAN SPIT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT WHY DOWN HERE?
THE KID'S WAY OUT
OF HIS DISTRICT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}FIRST OF ALL, THE FATHER
HAS SCHOOL BOARD CONNECTIONS.
A REAL HEAVYWEIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE PULLED SOME STRINGS
TO GET HIM IN HERE,
I GUESS, BECAUSE HE FIGURED...
{\a1\pos(90,432)}CARVER WAS ROUGH ENOUGH
TO MAKE A MAN OUT OF HIM.
OH, TERRIFIC!
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF YOU CAN'T LICK THE THING
INTERNALLY, MAYBE A ROUGH
COVER COAT'LL DO THE JOB.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}YOU KNOW WHAT BURNS ME
ABOUT THIS THE MOST?
WHAT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT ALL SMACKS OF McCARTHYISM.
GUILT BY ACCUSATION
AND INNUENDO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
IF IT WERE ALL LIES,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THE KID WOULD STILL BE
IN PALI INSTEAD OF HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, MAYBE.
YOU EVER TALK TO THE KID,
ASK HIM THE TRUTH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS
ANY OF MY BUSINESS.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}COME ON. I'LL SHOW YOU
THE REST OF THE DYNASTY.
TERRIFIC.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Sighs ]
LOOK, THE REASON
I HAD YOU COME DOWN HERE...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IS BECAUSE IT'S LONG OVERDUE
WE HAD A LITTLE TALK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT ME ANYMORE,
'CAUSE I QUIT.
{\a1\pos(342,404)}YOU QUIT WHAT?
THE TEAM.
{\a1\pos(90,432)}DOES THAT MAKE YOU
FEEL BETTER?
OF COURSE.
{\a1\pos(342,432)}YOU JUST SOLVED
ALL MY PROBLEMS.
LUCKY YOU.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}UH-HUH.
SO, WHAT'S NEXT?
YOU GONNA QUIT CARVER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S A GOOD POSSIBILITY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEN WHERE'LL YOU GO?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}OUT... FOR GOOD.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HOW OLD ARE YOU-- 16?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YEAH.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SIXTEEN'S TOUGH.
TOO YOUNG AND TOO OLD.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU THINK
YOU'RE HOMOSEXUAL?
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I DON'T KNOW.
YOU MUST HAVE GIVEN IT
A LOT OF THOUGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IF YOU MEAN HAVE I BEEN
WITH ANOTHER GUY, NO.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THE THOUGHT
EVER APPEAL TO YOU?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Chuckles ]
I DON'T KNOW.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I HAVEN'T REALLY
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU'VE BEEN CARRYING
QUITE A LARGE WEIGHT AROUND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I GUESS.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}LOOK,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M NOT TRYING
TO MAKE ANY MORAL JUDGMENTS
FOR YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE...
{\a1\pos(258,460)}ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT
AND WHAT IS WRONG,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BUT WHAT REALLY BURNS ME UP
IS THAT YOU'RE
RUNNIN' AWAY FROM SOMETHING...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}INSTEAD OF STANDING
YOUR GROUND AND BEING...
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WHOEVER OR WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO BE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}[ Sighs ]
OKAY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THERE WAS THIS GUY-- HAROLD.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}A FRIEND OF MINE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ABOUT MY AGE.
WAS PART OF A GROUP
I HUNG OUT WITH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE WAS REALLY A FUNNY GUY.
HE USED TO DO IMPRESSIONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BOGART AND EDWARD G. ROBINSON.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE COULD DO EVERYDAY PEOPLE TOO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND EVERYBODY LIKED HIM.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GIRLS-- EVERYBODY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE WAS THE KIND OF GUY THAT-THAT
COULD BE FRIENDLY WITH EVERYONE,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND AT THE SAME TIME SEEM
ESPECIALLY CLOSE PALS WITH YOU.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, I'VE NEVER BEEN
THAT KIND OF GUY.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I MEAN, THE KIND THAT CAN
CALL A MILLION PEOPLE...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND, YOU KNOW, TALK THINGS OVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'VE ALWAYS RELIED ON
ONE FRIEND, ONE BEST FRIEND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND I WANTED TO BE
BEST FRIENDS WITH HAROLD,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}'CAUSE I HUNG AROUND HIM
A LOT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT HE KEPT BEING
JUST AS FRIENDLY
WITH EVERYONE ELSE,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND THAT BOTHERED ME.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}IT HURT ME.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}S-SO I TOLD HIM SO,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND THE WORD GOT AROUND.
{\a1\pos(258,404)}AND THEN IT STARTED?
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY SAY THAT IF YOU'RE JEALOUS
OF ANOTHER GUY'S TIME,
THAT YOU'RE NOT RIGHT--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT YOU'RE SICK.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN ALL THE WISECRACKS.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AND THE FIGHTING
AND THE RUNNING?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YEAH, I'M NOT HAVING
WHAT YOU'D CALL
A BANNER YEAR.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THOUGHT
THEY PAID GUIDANCE COUNSELORS...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}FOR, UH, THIS SORT OF THING.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THEY DON'T LIKE
MAKING HOUSE CALLS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}NEITHER DO I
IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORK DAY.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, IT SEEMS RAYMOND'S PROBLEM
HAS FOUND ITS WAY
ACROSS TOWN TO CARVER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MEANING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MEANING THE JOKES AND THE
FIGHTING AND THE EMBARRASSMENT
HAVE STARTED AGAIN.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Man ]
FOR GOD'S SAKE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}YOU'D THINK HE'D KEEP
THAT MOUTH STAMPED SHUT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, I DON'T THINK HOW
IT STARTED AGAIN IS THE POINT.
IT WAS BOUND TO.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT'S FINDING OUT WHAT
THE BEST WAY IS TO DEAL WITH
THE SITUATION THAT'S IMPORTANT.
{\a1\pos(279,460)}DON'T YOU THINK?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND YOU DON'T THINK
TRANSFERRING HIM INTO
YOUR SCHOOL IS THE WAY?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}FRANKLY, I THINK IT STINKS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}LEAVE US ALONE.
{\a1\pos(12,404)}EXCUSE ME.
YEAH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}LOOK, GYM COACH,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I DON'T CARE THAT MUCH
WHAT YOU THINK STINKS
AND WHAT DOESN'T.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHEN I START HEARING
FAG RUMORS ABOUT MY BOY
INSIDE THIS COMMUNITY,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEN I TAKE HIM OUT OF HERE
AND PUT HIM INTO ANOTHER ONE--
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ONE THAT'S NOT SO COMFORTABLE,
WHERE THEY DON'T CODDLE
THE STUDENTS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT IF IT'S ALL RUMOR?
HEARSAY? LIES?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}SUPPOSE IT'S NOT?
WHERE THERE'S SMOKE,
THERE'S FIRE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND NO SON OF MINE IS
GONNA GET INVOLVED IN ANY...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT,
NOT WHILE I'M STILL ALIVE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HIS NEW SCHOOL
HEARS ALL THE RUMORS?
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YOU SHIP HIM OUT TO A THIRD?
AND THEN A FOURTH!
{\a1\pos(12,404)}YOU'RE WRONG.
I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT
YOUR SON'S RIGHTS.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}GO BACK TO YOUR GYMNASIUM,
PLEASE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I CAUGHT THE DIG BEFORE.
RIGHT NOW, YOUR BOY'S SCARED.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
BUT IF YOU KEEP CONFIRMING
TO HIM AND EVERYONE ELSE...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT HE HAS
BY MOVING HIM ALL AROUND,
THEN WHAT HAVE YOU GAINED?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}LOOK, WHETHER HE'S 16 OR 60,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}PEOPLE RUN WHEN THEY'RE SCARED,
AND WHEN THEY'RE SCARED,
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THEY DO THINGS WITHOUT THINKING,
WHICH IS EXACTLY
WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND WHAT HE MAY
VERY POSSIBLY DO LATER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BOY, YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WELL, TALK TO THE NURSE.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HIGH SCHOOL TEACHING
CAN AGE A MAN BEFORE HIS TIME.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}I'VE DONE ENOUGH TALKING
FOR TODAY.
WITH WHOM?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}COLLINS, COLLINS' COACH,
COLLINS' FATHER.
{\a1\pos(534,404)}AND?
0 FOR 3.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WHAT DID YOU HOPE
TO GAIN?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I DON'T KNOW.
I HOPED TO GAIN SOME FACTS,
SOME UNDERSTANDING.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}SOMETHING OTHER THAN TELLING
COLLINS' FATHER THAT IT STINKS
SENDING HIM HERE TO SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(240,404)}AND NOW?
NOW, I NEED YOUR HELP.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I WANT YOU TO SEND HIM
BACK TO PALI HIGH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}NOW, HOW CAN I DO THAT?
HE'S GOTTA WANNA
GO BACK HIMSELF.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YEAH, BUT RUNNING AWAY
FROM PROBLEMS NEVER SOLVES 'EM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}YOU AND I HAVE FACED
QUITE A FEW SINCE YOU CAME HERE.
{\a1\pos(12,432)}AND THIS ONE IS RIGHT UP THERE
IN FIRST PLACE.
ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH?
{\a1\pos(90,460)}ANYWAY,
NOTHIN'S KEEPIN' HIM HERE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THE WORD'S OUT.
THE STATIC'S
ALL OVER THE SCHOOL.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE'S GONNA RUN AWAY AGAIN,
BUT THIS TIME HE WON'T BE
ENROLLING SOMEPLACE ELSE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DID HE TELL YOU THAT?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, RIGHT NOW,
HE'S A VERY MIXED-UP KID...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WITH ALL KINDS OF EMOTIONS
HE HAS TO SORT OUT.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}BUT LET'S FACE IT.
WHETHER OR NOT...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}HE HAS HOMOSEXUAL TENDENCIES
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}WHAT DOES MATTER
IS THAT RIGHT NOW,
HE'S LETTING INNUENDO...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}BOUNCE HIM ALL OVER THE PLACE
LIKE A SHUTTLECOCK
IN A BADMINTON GAME.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YEAH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.
IT'S USUALLY MY JOB TO
COAX THEM TO STAY, NOT TO GO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}SO JUST, UH, REVERSE
ALL YOUR ARGUMENTS.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}OKAY. WHERE IS HE?
{\a1\pos(258,460)}THE GYM.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}FORGET IT, MISS BUCHANAN.
I'VE ALREADY MADE UP MY MIND.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT, WHAT, YOU'RE LEAVING?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}THAT'S RIGHT.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}I THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU SHOULD GO BACK
TO PALI HIGH.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}ARE YOU CRAZY?
IT'S WORSE THERE
THAN IT IS HERE.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WHICH IS WHY
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}NO WAY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THEN WHERE WILL YOU GO?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}MEXICO, MAYBE.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}YOU CAN'T DO THAT, RAYMOND.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I'M 16, AND I HAVE
MY OWN BANK ACCOUNT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}WHAT ABOUT
YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER?
{\a1\pos(12,460)}IT-IT WOULD SIT FINE
WITH THEM.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU'RE BEING
PRETTY HARD ON THEM.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}[ Sighs ]
THEY ACT AS IF
I HAVE LEPROSY OR SOMETHING.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}IT'S NOT YOU.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}IT'S THE SITUATION.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}THEY LOVE YOU,
{\a1\pos(342,460)}AND SO THEY'RE
AFRAID FOR YOU.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY
A LITTLE FRIGHTENED ABOUT
THIS WHOLE THING TOO.
{\a1\pos(426,460)}I WOULD BE.
YOU KNOW,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}YOU'RE A VERY STRONG
YOUNG MAN.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HAS ANYONE EVER
TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE?
{\a1\pos(258,404)}NO.
YOU ARE.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}TOO STRONG TO RUN AWAY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}I DON'T THINK SO.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IN 1952,
MY FAMILY LIVED IN OREGON.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}MY OLDER BROTHER ANDREW
WAS ONE OF ONLY
11 BLACK CHILDREN...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}IN THE ENTIRE
GROVER COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}HE AND ANOTHER BOY
NAMED MICHAEL DODD...
{\a1\pos(258,460)}WERE THE ONLY BLACKS
IN A GRADE SCHOOL
OF OVER 300.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THEY FELT OUT OF PLACE
AND VERY SELF-CONSCIOUS...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}AND SPENT MOST OF THE TIME
WITH THEIR HEADS DOWN.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}ONE AFTERNOON,
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THEY EACH FOUND
A DRAWING IN THEIR DESKS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}VERY VICIOUS AND CRUEL DRAWINGS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND LATER THAT DAY,
MY BROTHER CAME HOME CRYING...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND HE SWORE TO
OUR MOTHER AND ME...
{\a1\pos(90,460)}THAT HE WOULD NEVER GO BACK.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}NOW, I REMEMBER...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}MY MOTHER QUIETED HIM
FIRST, AND--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}AND THEN SHE TOLD HIM
THAT SHE'D FOUND
THAT THE WORLD...
{\a1\pos(12,460)}WAS BROKEN UP INTO
FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE--
{\a1\pos(174,460)}25% THAT LIKE YOU
FOR THE RIGHT REASONS,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}25% THAT LIKE YOU
FOR THE WRONG REASONS,
{\a1\pos(174,460)}25% THAT DON'T LIKE YOU
FOR THE WRONG REASONS,
{\a1\pos(258,460)}AND 25%...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT DON'T LIKE YOU...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.
{\a1\pos(12,460)}AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY
THE LAST GROUP OF PEOPLE...
{\a1\pos(174,460)}THAT ANYONE SHOULD BE
CONCERNED ABOUT.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
{\a1\pos(174,460)}[ Sobbing ]
{\a1\pos(258,460)}IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
{\a1\pos(258,460)}OH, GOD.
{\a1\pos(342,460)}[ Sighs ]
{\a1\pos(342,460)}I'M OKAY.
{\a1\pos(174,460)}- ARE YOU OKAY?
- YEAH.
{\a1\pos(90,460)}I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU.
