Somebody help!
Somebody help!
:09:04
Help somebody,
please.
:09:06
Help! Help me!
:09:10
Let me out!
:09:14
Somebody help!
:09:16
Please, let me out!
:09:18
Let me out, please!
Help!
:09:21
Somebody let me out!
:09:23
I can't breathe!
:09:28
Somebody let me out,
please!
:09:31
Somebody help me, please!
:09:33
I can't breathe!
:09:35
Somebody open up
the door!
:09:39
Open the door, please!
:09:40
Somebody let me out!
:09:42
I just don't
goddamn believe it.
:09:45
I've got an election
coming up,
:09:48
and you hit me
with this now?
:09:50
The state report came
from trenton just now.
:09:53
And we... well, actually,
they ranked the schools.
:09:56
We were last
in the state.
:09:59
Oh, that's a crock.
:10:01
They can't just take
my schools away.
:10:03
You're quite right.
:10:05
That's what
i thought.
:10:06
But, well, no, see, now,
actually, they can.
:10:09
What?
:10:11
The house passed
a bill last week.
:10:14
75% of high school
students
:10:15
must pass the minimum
basic skills test,
:10:18
or the state takes control
by the end of the school year.
:10:21
Well, how many
passed last year?
:10:23
About 38%.
:10:25
38%?
:10:26
What in god's name
are they doing
:10:29
down there
at eastside?
:10:31
They were
your appointees, don.
:10:33
Don't try pinning
this on me.
:10:36
You're
the superintendent
:10:37
of schools,
remember?
:10:39
Now, look, i'm not
going down the tubes
:10:42
just because
those kids
:10:43
can't pass
some test.
:10:46
It's a can
of worms, don.
:10:48
The only person
who would take this job
:10:50
is someone
with nothing to lose
:10:51
then the question becomes
what would we want with him?
:10:54
I'm sitting here
racking my brain-
:10:56
you're sitting there
setting me up.
:10:58
I know you
like a book.
