- Jake?
- Huh?

:21:10
- Don't you wanna know?
- Know what?

:21:14
Don't you wanna know what l wish for?
:21:17
OK.
:21:19
Well, l wished that someday you'd feel
like telling me more about yourself.

:21:25
Sometime.
:21:27
When you feel like it.
:21:30
OK.
:21:35
So? Then what happened?
:21:38
- You just keep pullin', don't you?
- You can'tjust stop in the middle.

:21:42
Well, why not?
:21:44
Because it's about you. l'd like to know.
:21:48
OK. l graduated at the head of my class.
:21:51
Jake!
:21:56
Um... l got kicked outta school.
:21:59
- Aw...
- Aw?

:22:03
No, l mean it. What happened?
:22:10
Well, me and this guy
got in it on a class picnic.

:22:13
He brought a couple of bottles of booze
and he was chargin' double for drinks.

:22:16
And l never liked him anyhow,
so l hung one on him.

:22:19
Thing was, though, l was gonna get
my diploma in a couple of months.

:22:24
So l went to see the principal.
He was one of them soft, smiley kind of guys.

:22:30
He said ''lf you'll sign this paper saying
you brought the booze, that'll be that.''

:22:36
So, like a bonehead, l signed it. Then
he looks at the paper and he kinda smiles.

:22:41
He says ''Well, l'll have to think about it.''
:22:46
So l guess l started swingin'.
:22:49
l forgot he was wearing glasses,
and l put out his eye.

:22:55
So anyhow, the judge says ''You got three
choices: army, navy, reform school.''
