- I suggest you start doing your job.
- And your job is to educate these kids.

:54:04
I suggest you start doing yours.
:54:20
Well...
:54:22
...we had another good week.
:54:24
Yeah, business is very good, Kenny.
:54:28
But I'm on my own.
You're never here.

:54:31
- It gets crazy.
- Look, I appreciate everything you do.

:54:34
And I promise you... We're closed.
:54:36
- As soon as the season is over,
I will be here for you.

:54:38
Mr. Carter?
:54:40
- I'm...
- Junior Battle's mother.

:54:42
Yes, ma'am, I remember you.
:54:43
Willa. Willa Battle.
:54:47
How may I help you, ma'am?
:54:49
Mr. Carter, I got a phone call today
:54:50
from a coach at a junior college
in Sacramento.

:54:53
Now, they wanna see
Junior play this Friday.

:54:55
Well, that's great, ma'am,
but Junior broke some rules...

:54:58
And I agree with them.
:54:59
I'm not here to argue
with your rules.

:55:02
I'm not.
:55:06
Almost two years ago now,
:55:09
Junior's older brother, Anton, was...
:55:13
...killed, and it's been confusing
and hard for me and for Junior.

:55:20
After you lose a son...
:55:23
...every time the phone rings,
your heart stops.

:55:30
Now, I'm not asking
for special attention.

:55:32
I agree he needs to get straight
with his classes.

:55:36
But the idea of junior college
had never even occurred to my son.

:55:40
Now, I could move to the Hercules
school district, and he could play there.

:55:44
- But moving is not gonna solve...
- But I want him to play for you.

:55:50
Look, I'm not gonna stand here
:55:51
and say I know how it feels
to lose a son, because I don't.

:55:56
And I do appreciate you
putting your trust in me.
