Ms. Drey?
401
00:36:59,830 --> 00:37:01,900
Prisons.
402
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,850
Absolutely, absolutely.
Prisons, okay?
403
00:37:06,930 --> 00:37:09,190
Prisons are definitely
a part of it. What else?
404
00:37:09,310 --> 00:37:10,850
White.
405
00:37:11,820 --> 00:37:13,260
White is definitely
a part of it.
406
00:37:13,340 --> 00:37:14,380
<i>The man.</i>
407
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:15,860
The school.
408
00:37:15,940 --> 00:37:16,910
The school, exactly.
409
00:37:17,010 --> 00:37:20,200
The whole education system is
part of the machine. What else?
410
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,840
<i>Aren't you the machine then?</i>
411
00:37:22,130 --> 00:37:25,140
Oh, no, you didn't.
What'd you say?
412
00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:26,820
Aren't you the machine?
413
00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:28,520
You're saying I'm the machine?
414
00:37:28,610 --> 00:37:30,890
Yeah, you're white.
You're part of the school.
415
00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:33,150
Oh, yeah,
I guess you got a point.
416
00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:35,150
All right, so I'm part of
the machine.
417
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:37,190
But if I'm part of it
so are you.
418
00:37:37,270 --> 00:37:39,460
You are, too.
We all are.
419
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,040
<i>And this is the thing, remember?</i>
420
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,060
<i>Everything is made
with opposing force.</i>
421
00:37:43,140 --> 00:37:44,880
<i>We may be opposed
to the machine,</i>
422
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,620
<i>but we're still very much
a part of it, right?</i>
423
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:51,860
I work for the government,
the school, but I'm also...
424
00:37:51,940 --> 00:37:53,790
very much opposed
to a lot of its policies.
425
00:37:53,870 --> 00:37:55,430
You guys hate coming
to school, right?
426
00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:56,700
Yes.
427
00:37:56,780 --> 00:37:58,520
Holler back if you heard me.
428
00:37:58,990 --> 00:38:01,250
<i>You hate it,
but you come anyway.</i>
429
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,330
<i>Sometimes.</i>
430
00:38:02,410 --> 00:38:04,140
Sometimes, exactly.
431
00:38:08,140 --> 00:38:09,920
Yo, what's up?
432
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,320
Where you headed?
433
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,150
You look like you're in a rush.
Hungry?
434
00:38:13,230 --> 00:38:14,100
No, I'm cool.
435
00:38:14,420 --> 00:38:16,320
I'm starving.
436
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,600
Come on.
Burger's on me.
437
00:38:20,010 --> 00:38:21,650
So how's school?
438
00:38:21,910 --> 00:38:23,380
It's hard.
439
00:38:23,660 --> 00:38:25,080
What's up with basketball?
440
00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:26,810
I got a game tomorrow.
441
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,570
<i>Word?</i>
442
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,040
Want to come?
443
00:38:32,250 --> 00:38:33,910
<i>Your Mom's going to be there?</i>
444
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:35,300
<i>- Working.</i>
- Pops?
445
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:38,940
Fuck it.
I'll come through.
446
00:38:39,020 --> 00:38:41,500
Somebody got to represent.
447
00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:48,770
Tina packed some sweets
for Mike last night.
448
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:54,440
<i>Your brother was a
good friend, still is.</i>
449
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,240
That dude was funny.
450
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,390
I mean, he ever showed you
the chicken walk?
451
00:39:01,470 --> 00:39:02,940
The what?
452
00:39:03,020 --> 00:39:03,970
<i>The chicken walk.</i>
453
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:07,300
<i>I mean, I can't do it,
But it's like...</i>
454
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:16,730
<i>...shit was bananas.</i>
455
00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:23,440
You know, we used
to work together, right?
456
00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:29,170
You ever think about working?
457
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,000
Shit.
I used to work here.
458
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,170
For real?
459
00:39:40,330 --> 00:39:42,440
<i>$150 a week.</i>
460
00:39:44,610 --> 00:39:46,730
<i>- Hey, Keesha?
- What's up, hon?</i>
461
00:39:46,890 --> 00:39:49,100
We need two milkshakes, baby.
462
00:40:11,820 --> 00:40:14,660
I know I don't sound sincere,
but I mean it.
463
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:16,840
- You're going to be great at it.
<i>- Thank you.</i>
464
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,270
<i>I think I...</i>
- Why can't I say that sincerely?
465
00:40:20,830 --> 00:40:25,360
<i>- You can. I went back to school.</i>
- Mm...
466
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,540
<i>- Environmental Policy.</i>
- No, I know...
467
00:40:26,620 --> 00:40:28,210
but I think you're really
going to be great.
468
00:40:28,290 --> 00:40:29,720
<i>I believed you the first time.</i>
469
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,290
I'm just nervous that's all.
470
00:40:35,140 --> 00:40:36,330
How are you?
471
00:40:36,940 --> 00:40:38,290
I don't know.
472
00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:42,130
You still rocking out?
473
00:40:45,150 --> 00:40:47,670
