Because it is old.
More than 200 years old.
:27:03
Written before your father was born,
before your father's father was born.
:27:07
But that still does not
excuse the fact...
:27:10
...that you don't know who wrote it,
now does it, Mr. Coleridge?
:27:16
l'm sorry, sir, l don't--
:27:19
You, of all people in this room,
should know who wrote that passage.
:27:23
And do you know why, Mr. Coleridge?
:27:26
l repeat, do you know why?
:27:28
Just say your name, man.
:27:32
Did you have something
to contribute, Mr. Wallace?
:27:38
l just said that
he should say his name.
:27:40
And why would it be helpful
for Mr. Coleridge to say his name?
:27:44
Because that's who wrote it.
:27:47
Very good, Mr. Wallace.
:27:51
Perhaps your skills...
:27:53
...do extend a bit farther
than basketball.
:27:57
lf we can turn to page--
You may be seated, Mr. Coleridge.
:28:01
Turn to page 1 20
in the little blue book that--
:28:04
Further.
:28:08
l'm sorry?
:28:10
Don't.
:28:13
You said my skills extend ''farther''
than the basketball court.
:28:16
''Farther'' relates to distance.
''Further'' is a definition of degree.
:28:22
-You should have said ''further.''
-Are you challenging me, Mr. Wallace?
:28:27
No more than you challenged Coleridge.
:28:29
Perhaps the challenge
should have been directed elsewhere.
