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.
1:25:01
So, you see?
1:25:05
Keep working.
1:25:07
You'll graduate.
1:25:12
I might even see you
in college.
1:25:15
What do you think?
1:25:33
I feel so bad about leaving
I can hardly breathe.
1:25:36
I know, but-- Oh, what the hell.
You're right.
1:25:40
You gotta be crazy to stay here
and teach these programme classes.
1:25:45
There's no money.
lt's killer work.
1:25:50
Why do you stay?
1:25:52
Why do I smoke?
I'm crazy.
1:25:55
You need any more help?
1:25:57
No. Thanks.
I'll see you tomorrow.
1:25:59
Yeah. Bye.
