:50:01
comes down
on my head.

:50:03
Oh, frank, look.
This is-

:50:04
no. You let me talk.
:50:07
It's like you're
a big bird with radar.

:50:09
I'm tired of getting hit.
:50:10
Is this my fault?
:50:12
This is nothing!
:50:13
I've got union lawyers
threatening me.

:50:15
There's talk
of a walkout.

:50:18
Let 'em!
:50:19
They're not teaching
anything anyway!

:50:21
Then do something
about it!

:50:23
Not one of 'em
has a personal stake

:50:24
in that school!
Not one!

:50:26
The fire chief says
it's illegal to bar doors.

:50:29
Mrs. Barrett is organizing
a parents group to remove you

:50:32
since you suggested that
they get off welfare

:50:35
because quite a few
of them need it.

:50:38
I wasn't talking
to all of them, frank.

:50:41
Look, you came
and recruited me, man.

:50:43
You disappoint me.
:50:45
The disappointment
here is you!

:50:47
Me?
:50:48
Yes!
:50:49
You've known me
30 years.

:50:51
You know
how i operate.

:50:52
Nigger,
can you keep quiet?

:50:54
The fact is
you're screwing up!

:50:57
You're alienating
everybody!

:51:00
You have no life.
Your wife left you.

:51:02
I ought to
walk out myself!

:51:03
Go ahead,
bail out!

:51:05
I said
i'd back you up!

:51:06
That's what
yousaid, frank!

:51:08
Brother, i'll go
through the fire with you,

:51:11
but you are not
taking care of business.

:51:13
But this shit you're
pulling now,

:51:15
you've just gone
plain loco!

:51:16
You suspend darnell!
What the hell was that?

:51:19
Darnell is symptomatic
of disciplinary-

:51:22
he is a good, strong,
young black teacher!

:51:25
He dumped that desk
on top of your head.

:51:28
Good for him.
You will reinstate that man!

:51:31
You fire
mrs. Elliott. Why?

:51:33
She didn't want to
kiss your ass.

:51:35
I wouldn't either!
:51:37
Mrs. Elliott
has an ego problem.

:51:39
Well, you lost
the best teacher we had!

:51:42
I don't have time for
mrs. Elliott's problem!

:51:45
You better make time!
:51:46
We're being crucified
by a process

:51:49
that's turning blacks
:51:50
into a permanent
underclass here!

:51:51
See? Nobody wants
to talk about that!

:51:54
Mrs. Elliott's missionary
zeal about mozart

:51:57
has nothing to do
with our problem!
