: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,
