Feel free to experiment with
a more proactive approach. The--
:45:10
Mr. Wallace!
:45:12
Please.
:45:16
l had a chance this morning...
:45:17
...to review the files sent over
by your former school.
:45:22
Test scores, impressive.
:45:24
Actual classroom work...
:45:26
...not so impressive.
:45:28
ls this...
:45:30
...the level of work
l should anticipate, Mr. Wallace?
:45:37
Because if it is...
:45:40
...it will help me determine whether
l should treat you as a student...
:45:43
...or as someone here
simply to pursue--
:45:46
How should l put it?
:45:48
Other endeavors?
:45:51
Of course your work will give you
ample opportunity to respond.
:45:56
Good day, Mr. Wallace.
:46:04
Just so you know,
you handled that the right way.
:46:08
How's that?
:46:09
You didn't say anything.
:46:11
lt's the ones that do
that run into trouble.
:46:14
-John Coleridge.
-Jamal Wallace.
:46:19
So how many people do say something?
:46:22
And actually stay in Crawford's class?
:46:24
Not many.
:46:27
l missed what you said.
:46:30
l didn't say anything.
:46:36
You read all these?
:46:38
No, l just keep them
to impress all my visitors.
:46:43
All your visitors.
:46:45
We talk about your book at school.
:46:47
People have been talking
about it for years.
:46:50
They just haven't been
saying anything.
:46:53
Yeah, l think l got it down, though.
:46:55
l figure you were writing
about how life never works out.
:46:58
Oh, really? You had to
read a book to figure that out?
