:16:00
Maybe you should've gone
to class, Lyle.

:16:03
Maybe you should kiss my ass, dog.
My grades are fine, homeboy.

:16:05
- It's Junior they should've locked out.
- Maybe Junior will kick your ass out.

:16:08
- Why don't you try spelling it, then.
- Chill, chill, chill, man. Damn.

:16:12
- Junior, if you need help, I'll tutor you.
- Man, I don't need no help.

:16:15
Well, he ain't lock us out
for no reason.

:16:18
We been tripping lately, man.
All y'all know it.

:16:20
How do you think the community's
gonna react to this lockout?

:16:22
I'm not really sure. I hope
they'll support these young men.

:16:26
What, man?
:16:28
No, man, it's just funny, dog,
because, Junior, man,

:16:30
you thought it was bad all us knew
your dumb ass was failing science.

:16:33
Now the whole world about to know
your dumb ass failing science.

:16:36
- Man.
- Hey, man.

:16:40
And you have Fremont this Saturday,
the biggest game on your schedule.

:16:43
Now, Richmond is gonna riot
if you forfeit that game.

:16:47
Saturday is a long way off.
:16:49
We'll see what happens.
Thank you all for coming.

:16:51
That's all the time I have right now.
I have to get back to work.

:16:54
Coach, have you talked to any
of the parents?

:16:57
Thank you for your time,
ladies and gentlemen.

:16:59
I'd like to remind you that classes
are in session,

:17:02
so as you leave campus,
please do so quietly.

:17:06
I ain't turning the cheek.
:17:07
He come up in my 'hood,
I'm serious, it's on.

:17:10
- Young sirs.
- It's always been like that.

:17:12
It's been a long day.
:17:14
Reporters. Media everywhere.
:17:17
Let's take this time to say whatever it is
we want while the doors are closed.

:17:21
You have the floor.
This is about us.

:17:25
Man, this shit ain't about us.
This is all about Coach Carter.

:17:28
We're the basketball team.
:17:30
All I see is you on TV,
getting famous, eating that shit up.

:17:34
- Is that all you see?
- It's all I see.

:17:36
You ain't lying.
:17:38
Well, let me tell you what I see.
:17:41
I see a system that's designed
for you to fail.

:17:46
Now, I know you all like stats,
so let me give you some.

:17:48
Richmond High only graduates
50 percent of its students.

:17:52
And of those that do graduate,
only 6 percent go to college.

:17:57
Which tells me, when I walk down
the halls and I look in your classrooms,
