:11:01
I'm flunking English. I was wondering
if maybe you could help me out.

:11:06
Nice swimsuit.
:11:09
If I flunk English, I'm out of here.
:11:12
Kiss college goodbye.
:11:17
I don't know what I'll do.
:11:19
I'll probably go home.
:11:22
Gee, Dad will be pissed off.
Mom will be heartbroken.

:11:26
If I play my cards right,
I get maybe a six-month's grace period...

:11:30
and then I got to get a job,
and you know what that means.

:11:36
That's right. They start me off
at the drive-up window...

:11:39
and I work my way up
from shakes to burgers...

:11:41
and then, one day, my lucky break comes.
:11:43
The French fry guy dies,
and they offer me the job.

:11:47
But the day I have to start, some men
come in a black Lincoln Continental...

:11:50
and tell me I can make a quick $300
just for driving a van back from Mexico.

:11:56
When I get out of jail, I'm 36 years old...
:12:00
Iiving in a flophouse. No job...
:12:03
no home, no upward mobility,
very few teeth.

:12:06
Then one day they find me, face down...
:12:08
talking to the gutter, clutching
a bottle of paint thinner. And why?

:12:13
Because you wouldn't help me
in English. No!

:12:15
You were too busy to help me!
:12:17
Too busy to help a drowning man!
:12:43
Okay.
:12:45
-Okay, what?
-Okay, I'll help you.

:12:48
You will?
:12:51
When?
:12:54
How about tonight?
:12:59
Let's see. Friday.
