- Who this?
- Ms. Lopez. Is your aunt or uncle home?

:33:03
Ms. Lopez. This isn't about me
failing my Spanish test, is it?

:33:08
What? You failed your Spanish test?
:33:11
Here's my auntie right now.
:33:15
Hello, Ms. Lopez.
:33:17
Yes. I just want to inform you
that Tre has been struggling in my class.

:33:21
Yeah.
The move has been tough on him.

:33:23
He's having a difficult time making friends.
He can't even get a date.

:33:27
- What you doin'?
- May I suggest some tutoring?

:33:30
- The extra attention might be beneficial.
- I'm available tomorrow after class.

:33:34
- Tomorrow would be great. Thank you.
- OK. Thank you.

:33:38
Now, how is it that somebody who speaks
Spanish can be failing Spanish class?

:33:42
I speak Spanglish, OK?
:33:45
You know, her class is about
grammar and all that kinda stuff.

:33:48
Plus it's hard to focus
'cause she's hot.

:33:54
OK.
:33:56
"Do you wanna try swimming?"
:33:58
¿Quiero probar de nadar?
:34:02
Listen. ¿Quiero tratar de nadar?
:34:04
You used probar which is what you use
when you wanna try something like food.

:34:09
- Not swimming.
- Tratar. Babar. Chico de bar...

:34:13
Man, all these verbs mean the same thing.
This is so confusing.

:34:17
You have to take the time to learn
the basics. I know you have the potential.

:34:21
OK. Mira. It's like dating.
:34:24
You can't expect a girl to fall for you
in just one day, right?

:34:28
Shoot. I thought Spanish was hard.
:34:30
- Women...
- Nothing that's worth it comes easy.

:34:33
It's like school. You have to put the work
and the time in, and you'll succeed.

:34:37
See, school ain't never
really been my thing.

:34:42
You know, ever since I was a kid
I always wanted to be a man.

:34:46
School kinda get in the way of that.
:34:49
I think the point of school
is to make you a better man.

:34:52
You always wanted to be a teacher? You
ain't never wanted to be a video dancer?

:34:58
No. Well, I'm actually
a thesis paper away from graduating
