Then if you don't pay
it, they gonna make you

:18:04
run 50 laps, and still
you have to pay the money.

When Arthur first started at St. Joseph's...
:18:20
he was a good kid,
from what we saw...

:18:23
but he was very immature.
:18:26
he might have been a little more
disruptive, speaking out...

:18:30
getting into childish things.
:18:35
he wasn't used to the discipline
and the control.

:18:38
he reverted back to, maybe,
his environment, where he came from.

:18:45
I just never been around
a lot of white people and...

:18:50
it was different, because at a black school
I could associate with the people.

:18:55
They talk the way I talk.
:18:58
It was a little hard,
but I can adjust to it.

:19:04
You can see there was talent there.
:19:08
We kept saying up in the stands,
"Get the ball to Arthur...

:19:11
because he's going to do it for you. '"
:19:14
And sure enough, they gave him the ball
with seconds on the clock.

:19:27
I noticed a change immediately
after he started going out there.

:19:31
To see your child mature, you say,
"Oh, maybe this is good for him. "

:19:52
