Junior year, Arthur makes varsity
for the Marshall Commandos.

:56:34
This is the year, right?
:56:37
This is it.
All righty.

:56:40
Not too bad.
:56:43
Fine.

Back home,
the family's troubles have worsened.

:56:58
Now I'm on welfare...
:57:01
that I wasn't on then.
:57:05
And trying to live month-to-month
on something like that is very hard.

:57:10
You have three growing kids
that need this...

:57:14
and you have bills to pay...
:57:16
and it's just not enough
to make ends meet.

:57:25
Man.! Sweetie, is Man in there?
:57:30
I was never raised on welfare.
:57:34
My mother and father both worked.
:57:42
We was cut off for three months.
:57:45
We was cut off aid complete
with no income.

:57:48
So, therefore,
do you know what happened?

:57:51
Our lights were cut off.
Our gas was cut off.

:57:54
And we were sittin' in the dark.
