and then to put him out
in the middle of a school year-

:33:41
I.D. 's, ladies and gentlemen.
:33:46
All right. Okay, okay. All right.
:33:51
Can't take no beepers in here.
:33:53
Give me my beeper, man.
:33:58
Mr. Wade, I need to see you
at the front door.

:34:00
Now where you gonna go?
Your friend go to jail. No beepers in here.

:34:05
Don't make no scene.
:34:07
Arthur is accepted
at the public high school near his home.

:34:11
he's been out of school for two months
and lost a whole semester's credit.

:34:19
here you have a youngster caught
:34:21
in the middle of two
separate school systems.

:34:24
had he stayed at St. Joseph's...
:34:27
he would have been able to receive
credit for that first semester.

:34:32
Doesn't seem fair,
but then that's the system.

:34:38
If he was going out there and he was playing
like they had predicted him to play...

:34:42
he wouldn't be at Marshall.
:34:44
Economics wouldn't have had anything
to do with him not being at St. Joe's.

:34:48
Somebody would have made some kind of
:34:49
arrangement, and the kid
would've still been there.

:34:52
he's not making it like they thought he was
gonna make it on the basketball court...

:34:56
so he's not there, simple as that.
:34:58
It doesn't take no brilliant person
to figure that out.
