: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.

:56:01
But I need to hear that from Junior.
:56:03
He in the car.
:56:09
Junior!
:56:21
Go on.
:56:28
I'm sorry for what I said and did
at practice,

:56:30
and I promise to get caught up
with my classes, sir.

:56:38
Look me in the eye, sir.
:56:45
Everything inside me tells me
if I take you back,

:56:48
I'd be making a mistake
and you'll make a fool of me.

:56:51
No, sir.
:56:55
You owe me 1,000 push-ups
:56:57
and 1,000 suicides
before you can play.
