1:23:02
- how come you choose to leave?
- Yeah.
1:23:05
You sad about Durrell and Callie
and Emilio and Lionel, but we're here.
1:23:10
What about us, huh?
None of us make you feel happy?
1:23:13
We been working hard and we stayed
in school, man. What about us?
1:23:18
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1:23:35
Why are you packing up today
when tomorrow is your last day?
1:23:39
Oh, just gettin' a head start.
1:23:42
Oh, I see.
1:23:48
What you did, when you
gave me the 200 dollars?
1:23:55
That was the nicest thing
anybody ever did for me.
1:24:00
I don't know anybody else
who would give 200 dollars...
1:24:02
to a Mexican kid
on his word of honour.
1:24:11
S-So you gotta let me
pay you back.
1:24:17
Even if I don't graduate,
all right?
1:24:20
Why wouldn't you graduate?
1:24:24
Ain't no other teacher
gonna give me no "A."
1:24:27
Yes, they will, if you work for them
the way you worked for me.
1:24:30
No, but it was different with you.
You gave me an "A" to start with.
1:24:32
- I didn't have to earn it.
I just had to keep it.
- Are you kidding?
1:24:37
Keeping an "A" is harder than getting an
"A." Almost anyone can get an "A" once.
1:24:41
But keeping it,
that's an accomplishment.
1:24:44
- You think so?
- Oh, I know so.
1:24:47
Do you realize the work
you did this term?
1:24:50
Do you realize that
the poetry that we read...
1:24:53
is given to people in college?
1:24:55
- ln college.
- These same poems?
1:24:58
- Yes.
- But they weren't even so hard.
