:09:01
Good to see you.
Have a seat here.
:09:03
Thank you.
:09:06
Okay.
:09:07
We got Jamal's test scores
back this week.
:09:10
-Test scores?
-Assessment tests.
:09:12
The state education department
requires all kids to take them.
:09:16
He didn't tell you?
:09:20
Mrs. Wallace,
Jamal maintains a C average.
:09:23
Which means he does just enough
to get by without standing out.
:09:28
Now, what makes Jamal's case
unusual are his test results.
:09:38
Oh, my God.
:09:41
l see him reading all
these books all the time.
:09:43
Books l never read.
Some l never even heard of.
:09:46
And he's always writing
in his notebooks.
:09:50
Ever since his father left.
:09:52
But that's what l see.
:09:55
All he ever talks about is basketball.
:09:58
Basketball is where
he gets his acceptance.
:10:01
Kids don't care about
what he puts down on paper.
:10:04
Let's go! Between the yellow lines!
Let's go!
:10:07
Yo, T.
:10:08
What up, Fly?
:10:09
-How you?
-Maintaining.
:10:11
Look, look. You looking
for tickets, little bro?
:10:15
Dead tonight.
:10:16
Sorry about that.
:10:17
Come on, man.
We know you got tickets.
:10:19
l got four words for you:
Bos-ton Red Sox. All right?
:10:24
The Yanks and Sox tickets, they damn
near been sold out almost a month.
:10:28
All right, Mr. Fly?
:10:30
And by the way, why don't you go
tell Camry boy over there...
:10:33
...that he need to back up
his little cheap-ass bumper...
:10:36
...on that Mercedes there.
:10:38
Go handle that.
Let's go, Fly! Let's go!
:10:42
What the hell, Jamal? Moms called.
:10:45
Tell me about the test.
What's up with that?
:10:48
-Nothing, man.
-What do you mean, nothing?
:10:50
This in the way of your plans?
:10:52
Remember, it was your plan first, T.
:10:55
Yeah, l know.
A little college ball and all.
:10:58
Then start signing checks,
solving everybody else's problems.
