I just hope this new

generation sees a bigger

picture like you do.

I hope they can

understand that their

actions effect others.

That's why I know

you have a mind

for this stuff.

It's just...

this stuff, you know?

These fancy words

and big theories.

Oh, don't play that sh*t.

Acting like

you ain't smart?

You ain't some dumb old

grunt like me, little lady.

Well, grunt boy,

you too will be one

of us hoity-toity types

if I have

my way with you.

What makes you think

I want to be one of you

hoity-toity types?

Well, I don't blame you.

Neither do I.

That's why I'm a teacher.

I'm just kidding.

Hell, I don't even know

what I want to be.

Well, a secret for you.

Uh, most of us don't.

The important thing

is to know who you

don't want to be.

I should get going.

I got the

early shift tomorrow.

Thank you so much

for taking all this

time to help.

That's my job.

I promise I'll be

here on Thursday with

my papers finished.

Well, I'll believe it

when I see it.

Hey, the least you can

do is walk me to my car.

Am I your bodyguard now?

Yeah.

Hey, Justin.

Me and my buddy

are going to the bar

tonight, wanna come out?

No. I can't.

I got to study.

Got a test on Thursday.

Oh, good luck, man.

I'll have a beer

for ya then.

Have a few.

I'll need 'em.

All right,

catch you later.

Yeah.

Justin.

Yeah?

I got that cash you dropped,

but where's the rest?

Sorry.

I'm still short.

Well, I need it by the end

of the month or I got people

who are ready to move in.

I can't keep

playing this game.

Here.

Here's 50 bucks.

I'll get the rest

to you next week.

End of the month's

in a week.

Oh, sh*t.

Look who made it out.

-What up, man?

-Hey.

Hey, Pete.

This is my boy, Justin.

-Hi.

-Good to meet you.

Have a seat, man.

Game's getting good.

Get a beer?

-Hey, it's on me.

-All right, thanks.

Yeah.

No problem, man.

So, you're done

studying everything?

-Yeah, sure.

-Yeah. That's right, man.

F*** school.

That's all that's all about.

Yeah.

F*** school.

Whatever.

Cheers to studying hard

and becoming somebody.

Thank you, man.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

So, Justin,

where you from?

I grew up in Jersey.

Cool.

Follow basketball much?

No. I don't really

follow much.

Dude, we f***ing

live it, man.

Yeah we do.

High school, I was point guard.

This guy was a forward.

Put up more bricks

than a mason worker.

That's cool.

What brings you

down here then?

It's a long story...

basically for work.

All right.

You should have

called it in an instant.

Would have done

you some good.

Another foul.

-Hey, Pete.

-Thanks, a**hole.

Can I have one

of those for the road?

Yeah.

No problem, man.

I didn't know
