:07:00
Their fundamentals is, uh--
is, like, sorely lacking.
:07:03
That's strange.
I haven't had that problem yet.
:07:05
Y eah, well, you--
[ Chuckles ]
:07:07
The kids are smart.
:07:10
They know they don't listen to you,
they end up in here with me.
:07:13
[ Chuckling ]
I never thought about it like that.
:07:16
Did you vote for Governor Pernell?
:07:19
Uh, nah, I ain't never voted.
:07:21
No matter. What does matter
is Governor is a big,
:07:25
huge, fanatical
basketball fan.
:07:28
He played himself--
four years, varsity, at Big State.
:07:31
Good, not great athlete.
:07:34
He's the biggest supporter
Big State has. Bleeds red and white.
:07:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I saw
something like that about him on TV.
:07:42
Do you have a son named
Jesus Shuttlesworth?
:07:45
Y es, sir.
:07:46
Is your son considered the number one
high school prospect...
:07:50
in these United States
of America?
:07:52
Some people rate him
that high, some don't.
:07:55
- You know, two, three, six.
- [ Chuckling ] Come on, Jake. Come on.
:07:58
Don't be modest. You oughta be proud.
You oughta be proud as a peacock.
:08:02
I always been proud of my son even
before he was the number one prospect...
:08:05
in the whole entire world.
:08:07
- You aren't modest, after all.
- God is working with me on that, sir.
:08:11
The governor's made a request
that your son, Jesus Shuttlesworth,
:08:15
seriously consider enrolling
in his alma mater, Big State.
:08:19
If you persuade your son
to do this,
:08:21
the governor's given me
his word...
:08:24
he'll do everything
in his power to...
:08:26
cut your time here short,
considerably.
:08:29
The governor can do that?
He can--
:08:31
- He can do that.
- I'm lookin' at 15, Warden. I mean--
:08:35
This is for real, right?
:08:37
You can make the governor
very happy.
:08:40
He's got a great reputation
for never forgetting anyone
who's done right by him.
:08:45
He's also never forgiven anyone
who's done him wrong.
:08:48
Can't do nothin' in here, though.
I mean, behind these--
:08:51
Behind these bars, you know,
these walls and everything like that,
:08:54
I mean, something
like this here...
:08:58
can't be worked out
over the phone or--
