Stand and Deliver Page #3

I'm not. I could teach more.

I'm sure Mr. Escalante

has good intentions...

...but he's only been here a few months.

Students will rise to the level

of expectations, Seor Molina.

What do you need, Mr. Escalante?

Ganas. All we need is ganas.

What's ganas?

We will begin each class with a quiz.

There will be no free rides, no excuses.

You already have two strikes against you.

There are some people in this world...

...who assume that you know less

than you do...

...because of your name

and your complexion...

...but math is the great equalizer.

When you go for a job, the employer...

...will not want to hear your problems.

Neither do I.

You'll work harder

than you ever worked before.

And the only thing I ask

from you is ganas...

...desire... A haircut.

If you don't have the ganas,

I will give it to you because I am an expert.

Today is Monday,

tomorrow is Wednesday...

...Friday is payday, the weekly test.

There will be no diagonal vision.

Keep your eyes on your own paper.

You have 10 minutes to finish.

If you finish early, start the assignment

on the board. No questions? Good.

Angel, vmonos!

I was said to go here.

Nice knowing you.

Have a good day. Arrivederci!

You're in luck. Take the seat.

Relax, take Sominex.

Don't sleep in my class.

I take that as an insult.

Kimo, I want to talk to you about the class.

You ain't got a seat. Don't give me no gas.

I know about that. It was a mistake.

I'm gonna fly straight, but I got a problem.

Yeah, me.

Seriously. Books.

The homies can't see me

haul them around.

You don't want anyone to think

you're intelligent.

Maybe I can have two books,

keep one stashed at home.

I'll cut you a deal.

I'll give you three books.

Take one home. One for your class.

This one is broken.

One for your locker,

so nobody sees you carrying it around.

Easily understood?

What do I get?

Protection, Kimo.

Proteccin, understand?

I understand.

I understand.

That's the only reason

I'm still in Kimo's class.

Don't tell her that you dig her.

That's the worst thing you can do

with a woman.

I'm fed up with this peln we got

for a teacher.

Escalante has a bug up his ass.

He's from South America.

He's probably a Nazi come out of hiding.

Don't you know?

Garfield can't get accredited.

Only teachers who act like a**holes

will keep their jobs.

What if we all decide not to take this test?

He can't fail the whole class.

Mutiny. That's cool.

See you guys later.

Camejo thinks she's hot

because she dates gabachos.

If we don't do better today, heads will roll.

I've never gotten lower

than a B+ in my life.

Because you take those

Mickey Mouse classes.

Always get an A.

Here you have a chance for a solid D.
