Bonnie...
:54:02
She's comparing chess
to pinochle.
:54:04
What am I supposed
to say to that?
:54:06
She's trying
to make a point.
:54:08
Maybe we should listen.
:54:10
Vinnie thinks he's spending
too much time at it, too.
:54:13
Vinnie? Vinnie's a drug addict.
:54:16
I'm supposed to listen to his
opinion, too?
:54:19
I'm sorry,
but your analogy
:54:21
is a very bad one.
:54:23
If you want to make
a comparison to something,
:54:25
have it make sense.
:54:27
Compare it to math
or music or art,
:54:29
because otherwise it belittles him
and it and me.
:54:32
I don't mean
to belittle you--
:54:34
Oh, but you are,
even the way you're looking at me.
:54:38
Mr. Waitzkin,
I think perhaps--
:54:40
I'll tell you how good he is.
He's better at this
:54:43
than I've ever been
at anything in my life.
:54:47
He's better at this
than you'll ever be at anything.
:54:51
My son has a gift.
:54:53
He has a gift,
and once you acknowledge that,
:54:56
then maybe
:54:58
we'll have something
to talk about.
:55:03
Josh.
:55:05
Chess is what it's called.
:55:07
Not the "chess thing."
:55:09
Chess.
:55:20
What's its number?
:55:21
It doesn't have a number.
It's a private school.
:55:25
Only the public schools
have numbers.
:55:28
It's called Dalton.
:55:32
You can still see your friends
whenever you want--
:55:36
after school
or on weekends,
:55:38
when there's not
a tournament.
:55:44
Your friend Morgan
goes there.
:55:46
Morgan goes there?
:55:47
Oh, yeah.
:55:49
He wouldn't go there
unless it was great, right?
:55:52
Ah, it's the best.
:55:53
They, um,
even have a chess class.
:55:57
What's the yard like?
