Okay, young man,
that'll be 25 cents.
:15:17
Jesus.
Twenty-five cent ?
:15:20
Mustn't be

:15:28
So, Lesra,
what'd you get ?
:15:30
Uh, this.
:15:32
What is it ?
I don't know.
It's about a boxer.
:15:36
It's got, like, 337 pages,
though, you know.
:15:39
Well, it probably
takes a lot of words to tell
someone's life story, eh ?
:15:43
Yeah, well, this guy must be,
like, 150 years old
if he gon' use all these words.
:15:48
Sometimes we don't pick
the books we read--
they pick us.

We 've been homeschooling
this young man for eight months.
That's how it applies to us.

I'm not married. Mr. Swinton,
who you spoke with, is one
of the two men I live with.
:16:13
No, Sam Chaiton
is the other man I live with.
:16:16
I don't think you do see,
Mr. Broden.
:16:19
They are my business partners
and my roommates.
:16:21
You're the Department
of Education...
:16:23
and you're telling me
you're prepared to stop
this young man's education...
:16:26
because you can't find some
goddamn high school records ?
:16:39
Yep, that's exactly
what I'm doing,
Mr. Broden.
:16:42
[DoorShuts]
:16:44
I'm not asking you
to make an exception.
:16:47
I'm asking you to do your job,
which is different,
but I thank you for it anyway.
:16:51
Shit.
Political Science 101.
:16:53
That art
of gentle persuasion.
:16:55
Never mind 101 .
I need a smoke.

So how was
the book sale ?
Great.
