:20:04
push 'em out of the way. Didn't matter
who they were or what they were doing.
:20:09
But that was then.
:20:13
You have a special talent. A gift.
:20:18
Not the school's, not the townspeople,
not the team's,
:20:22
not Myra Fleener's,
:20:24
not mine.
:20:26
It's yours... to do with what you choose.
:20:32
Because that's what I believe,
I can tell you this.
:20:38
I don't care if you play on the team or not.
:21:11
Mr Dale, I wanna talk to you.
:21:14
Leave him alone, all right?
:21:16
He's a real special kid and
I have high hopes for him, and...
:21:22
if he works really hard, he can get an
academic scholarship to Wabash College
:21:26
and can get outta this place.
:21:28
- You have something against this place?
- For him, yes, I do. He could do better.
:21:34
You know, if Jimmy's as good
as everybody says he is,
:21:37
I'd have thought a basketball scholarship
would have made a lot of sense.
:21:41
Who'd ever see him play?
:21:43
The only thing that comes into Hickory
is the train, and it's here for five minutes.
:21:50
Basketball scholarship... A basketball
hero around here is treated like a god.
:21:54
How could he ever find out
what he could really do?
:21:57
I don't want this to be the high point of
his life. I've seen 'em. The real sad ones.
