:39:02
Nice game, guys.
:39:03
Let's get that equipment in
and head on out!

:39:06
Good game, fellas.
:39:15
Come on, Josh.
:39:16
His chess ideas are like
pieces of his body

:39:19
he's reluctant
to give up.

:39:21
For instance, he simply can't cope
with being told

:39:24
not to bring his queen out
too early in the game.

:39:27
Why shouldn't he?
:39:28
He's won many a game
in Washington Square doing exactly that.

:39:31
Why is this
suddenly wrong?

:39:33
Try getting him to brush his teeth
sometime.

:39:35
What I'm trying to teach him
and what he's learning there

:39:39
are two very
different things.

:39:41
Park hustlers play
tactics, not position.

:39:43
They rely on wild,
unpredictable moves

:39:46
meant to intimidate
their opponents.

:39:47
Great in a two-minute
speed game for drug money,

:39:50
but it'll cost Josh
dearly in real games.

:39:54
Well, he's learning
some new words.

:39:59
Could you keep him from playing there
so much?

:40:02
Sure.
:40:03
No.
:40:07
Not playing in the park
would kill him. He loves it.

:40:10
Just makes my job harder.
:40:14
Then your job's harder.
:40:25
What are you
talking about?

:40:27
We're already packed.
We're, like, out the door.

:40:29
Make sure his laces are tied
if there's escalators.

:40:33
I don't know why
I O.K.'d this anyway.

:40:35
Well, you didn't.
He wants to do this.

:40:38
I should've
dissuaded him.

:40:39
I grew up playing
in tournaments.

:40:41
They have nothing to do
with what's important.

:40:44
They're about all
winning and losing. So?

:40:46
It's not chess.
:40:47
Ah. Chess is art.
:40:49
That's right.
:40:50
No. Chess is you appreciating
the beauty of Josh's play

:40:53
at 60 bucks an hour.
:40:55
Will you be ready to go
in 30 minutes or not?

:40:59
He's not coming.
