:09:01
Your rhetoric
and your propaganda...
:09:03
aren't going to save you
out there.
:09:07
So here's the drill.
:09:09
I'm your history teacher
from now on.
:09:11
We will discuss current events.
:09:15
We will call this class...
:09:18
American History X.
:09:21
We meet once a day.
:09:24
All right.
Your first assignment...
:09:26
is to prepare for me
a new paper due tomorrow.
:09:29
Come on, Sweeney. It took me
a week to read "Mein Kampf."
:09:42
What do you want me to do it on?
:09:44
Your brother.
:09:46
Oh, God, man.
Please tell me you're joking.
:09:48
No. I'm not kidding.
:09:50
I want you to analyze
and interpret all the events...
:09:54
surrounding
Derek's incarceration.
:09:55
How these events helped shape
your present perspective...
:09:59
concerning life
in contemporary America.
:10:02
The impact on your life,
your family's.
:10:08
Whatever you want to say, Danny.
:10:13
I'll be the only one reading it.
:10:17
But if it's not on my desk
tomorrow morning...
:10:22
you are a ghost
at Venice Beach High.
:10:27
You clear?
:10:29
Yeah, I'm clear.
:10:36
Telling teacher
I'm fuckin' cheatin'!
:10:38
Is that what's happening?
:10:40
I never cheated in my life.
:10:42
Beat his mo'fuckin' ass.
:10:43
I didn't say anything!
:10:45
Why you trippin' on me?
:10:48
Now why you all kicking it
like that?
:10:51
What's up, man?
:10:53
What you scared for?
I ain't gonna do nothing.
