No, I don't think you do see,
Mr Broden.

:15:05
They are my business partners
and my roommates.

:15:07
And you're the Department
of Education...

:15:08
and you're telling me you're prepared
to stop this young man's education...

:15:12
because you can't find
some goddam high school records?

:15:24
Yep, that's exactly
what I'm doing, Mr Broden.

:15:29
No, no, I'm not asking you
to make an exception.

:15:31
I'm asking you to do yourjob,
which is qualitatively different...

:15:34
but I thank you for it anyway.
:15:36
- Shit.
- Political Science 101 ,
the art of gentle persuasion.

:15:40
Never mind 101.
I need a smoke.

:15:43
- So how was the book sale?
- Great.

:15:46
- There.
- Did you get The OtherAmerica?

:15:48
Uh, I couldn't find The OtherAmerica,
but I got you, uh--

:15:50
Sam Robertson Davies, R.D. Laing.
:15:53
- You don't want to piss me off today.
- It's a book sale, Lisa, not a library.

:15:56
- Whatever.
- Hey, look, Lisa.

:15:58
Got this one right here for 25 cent.
TheSixteenth Round.

:16:01
- Oh, your first book, huh?
- Yeah.

:16:04
"Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter."
:16:09
Hurricane is the professional name
that I acquired later on in life.

:16:13
Carter is the slave name
that was given to my forefathers...

:16:17
who worked in the cotton fields
of Alabama and, and Georgia...

:16:20
and was passed on to me.
:16:23
The kindest thing I can say
about my childhood...

:16:26
is that I survived it.
:16:28
Paterson was a run-down town,
a poor and violent place.

:16:33
The only way to survive
was to know how to handle yourself...

:16:36
and I learned fast.
:16:40
Come on! Hurry up!
:16:43
- Let's get out of here!
- Come on! Let's go! Hurry up!
Let's get out of here!

:16:52
Take this out.
:16:55
Hey, Donnique, go for a swim!
