Let`s talk about Bobby
playing football.
:17:03
l don`t like it, Mr. Coach Klein.
l don`t like it one bit.
:17:07
You see, my boy is too delicate
to be playin` "fool`s ball"--
:17:09
or whatever you call it--
with them gargantuans.
:17:12
l don`t think you understand,
Mrs. Boucher.
:17:14
No, you don`t understand me,
Mr. Coach Klein.
:17:16
My boy is all l got left. Ow !
:17:21
- [ Steve Braying ]
- Mama, here.
:17:23
lt`s the brain pain, Coach.
:17:25
You see, my husband Robert,
:17:28
one day back in 1966,
pick up sticks,
:17:32
and me four months pregnant
with this precious angel.
:17:36
He decides he wants to go
and help the foreign peoples.
:17:38
He`s gonna go
and join the peace corps.
:17:40
And he promise me
that everything`s gonna be okay.
:17:42
Just like you
promisin` me now.
:17:45
But everything wasn`t okay. No.
:17:48
He got lost in the middle
of the Sahara Desert.
:17:52
And he died.
He died !
:17:55
- Couldn`t get no water, Coach.
He died of the dehydration.
- And we were left all alone.
:18:01
l would`ve gotten my daddy some water,
but l was just a little baby
inside Mama`s stomach.
:18:05
And now you wanna take away
the only part of my Robert l have left.
:18:08
But don`t you want the only part you`ve
got left to get a college education ?
:18:13
- Nah.
- Me, a college student ?
:18:17
Yes. Bobby, think about it.
:18:20
A whole new world
will open to you.
:18:23
Boy, Mama, that-that-that sounds nice.
Me-Me, a college man.
:18:26
Coach, my Bobby`s
a sweet boy,
:18:28
but he ain`t exactly what you`d call
"college material,"
:18:31
so don`t you go fillin` his simple head
with all those crazy dreams...
:18:34
of school and college
and things of that sort.
:18:37
But Mama, l-l`m tired
of everybody callin` me a dummy.
:18:39
l`m-l`m tired
of not havin` any friends.
:18:43
And my ass is tired sittin` here
jawin` all night. l`m goin` to bed.
:18:46
Nice to meet you, Mr. Coach.
Good luck with your fool`s ball.
:18:50
Bobby, after you let Mr. Coach out,
you come into my bedroom.
:18:53
Mama`ll brush your hair.
