:18:01
I bet you that is hard for you, B.
:18:03
[Ernest Laughing]
:18:04
Yeah, right. Don't even try that...
"White Men Can'tJump" bullshit.
:18:07
I got skills, man.
:18:09
I'm just sayin',
in my high school...
:18:11
marching band
was all about military precision.
:18:14
[Scoffs]
:18:15
I coulda been
a P-1 at Georgia Tech...
:18:17
or U.G.A. in a minute.
:18:19
OK.
:18:21
So, what you here for, then?
:18:23
I love black people.
:18:24
[Laughing]
:18:25
All right. All right.
:18:26
No, on the real, man...
:18:28
I love this band.
:18:29
I grew up right down the street.
:18:31
When I was little...
:18:33
I could hear 'em practicing
down the block from my house.
:18:36
I'd be outside playin'--

[Mocking Violin Music]
:18:39
I'm serious, y'all.
Come on.
:18:42
Shoot.
A&T's the reason...
:18:43
I picked up a drum
in the first place.
:18:46
I feel you on that one, dog.
:18:48
[Telephone Rings]
:18:49
Oh, shit!
:18:52
Ernest: Hel-Hello?
:18:54
Yes.
:18:55
I can do that.
:18:57
Yes.
:19:00
I can do that.
:19:03
I can--
:19:04
I can do that.

Section Leader:
Do not slow it down. Move it! Move it!
:19:08
Come on. Come on.
Pick it up!

[Chants And Drumming]
:19:15
''The beginning is always today.''
:19:18
One of my favorite quotes.
:19:20
President Wagner,
what a pleasant surprise.
:19:23
So, what exciting new beginnings...
:19:25
can we look forward to this year?
:19:27
Well, for the most part,
I'll continue with...
:19:29
the overall direction
of the program.
:19:31
That direction is a losing one.
:19:34
I don't think we can measure
the success of our program...
:19:36
by the number of people...
:19:37
shaking their butts
in the stands...
:19:38
and no, we didn't win
the B.E.T. Classic...
:19:41
but our first obligation
is to educate...
:19:43
and then entertain.
:19:45
Please,
not the edu-tainment speech,James.
:19:47
Save it for your students.
:19:49
It's a good one.
:19:50
The kids in my program are learning.
:19:53
There won't be a program...
:19:55
if the alumni continue
to lose interest.
:19:57
We win, they write checks.
:19:59
Dr. Henderson was smart enough
to know that.
