:03:01
I want you to be sure.
:03:07
Good night.
:03:09
Good night.
:03:18
So...
:03:21
...what's up with your friend?
:03:24
-She's weird.
-She's not weird. She's just different.

:03:28
Yeah, and I bet she wants to show you
just how different she can be, huh?

:03:34
I'm tired of running and studying.
:03:37
It's too hard to do both.
I feel like a slave.

:03:40
They wouldn't give a fuck about me
if I wasn't running for this school.

:03:44
I'm tired of feeling
like a thoroughbred.

:03:48
Why you always gotta
take stuff so far?

:03:51
People would die to be where you are,
and you tripping.

:03:55
You have the opportunity to go
to school, and it's here. So take it.

:04:01
I don't see security stopping you
on campus to see your I.D.

:04:06
You're all hunky-dory
with your scholarship.

:04:08
They'll let that harmless black woman
through easier than a man.

:04:11
-So you think I got it easy?
-Hell, yeah.

:04:14
-Easier than me.
-You know them girls I stay with?

:04:18
Every time something comes up missing,
who you think they look at?

:04:23
-And?
-I feel like fighting.

:04:26
-I feel like beating people up.
-Why don't you?

:04:29
It's a waste of time.
lnstead, I fight with this:

:04:34
And I'm getting mine.
:04:36
You gotta stop doing this all the time:
And start doing this:

:04:41
Quit worrying about
what people are thinking.

:04:44
Yeah, but it still ain't the same.
:04:47
Listen.
:04:51
You a woman.
I'm a black man.

:04:56
You're safe.
:04:59
I'm a threat, educated or not.
