1:04:03
So I thought it would
be good for me, you know?
1:04:05
- Yeah.
- Aisle three.
1:04:09
"Degrade first the arts
if you'd mankind degrade."
1:04:13
Hey, that's the spray can poem.
1:04:19
-Hey, hey, what's the code word?
-The code word is "great rides
and great prizes."
1:04:22
I'm keeping it undercover
But comin' soon, I surmises
1:04:27
Does anybody know where, um,
Durrell and Lionel are today?
1:04:32
- Durrell and Lionel.
- No.
- They around.
1:04:36
Yeah, so what's the prize we're
gonna get for learning this poem?
1:04:40
Learning is the prize.
1:04:44
Yeah.
1:04:46
Knowing how to read something
and understand it is the prize.
1:04:49
Okay? Knowing how to think
is the prize.
1:04:52
- I know how to think right now.
- Okay. Well, yeah, well,
you know how to run too.
1:04:55
But not the way you
could run if you trained.
1:04:58
You know, the mind
is like a muscle.
1:05:00
Okay? And if you want it to be really
powerful, you got to work it out. Okay?
1:05:04
Each new fact
gives you another choice.
1:05:09
Each new idea builds
another muscle, okay?
1:05:13
And it's those muscles that are
gonna make you really strong.
1:05:16
Those are your weapons,
and in this unsafe world...
1:05:20
I want to arm you.
1:05:22
- And that's what these poems
are supposed to do?
- Yeah.
1:05:26
Hey, try it. You're just
sittin' here anyway.
1:05:28
Look. Okay.
lf at the end of the term,
1:05:31
you're not faster, stronger
and smarter,
1:05:34
you will have lost nothing.
1:05:37
But if you are,
1:05:41
you'll be that much tougher
to knock down.
1:05:45
So what's "Hire idiots to paint
with cold light and hot shade"?
1:05:52
They're being sarcastic, Raul.
1:05:54
I mean, 'cause you know that light
is supposed to be warm, right?
1:05:56
- And shade is supposed to be what?
- Cold?
1:05:58
Exactly. But if you go
and hire an idiot to do the job,
he's gonna do it backwards.
