of the school year, okay?

But then I made some fliers,

and I thought

we would all meet...

All the teachers at

and you can give us

your game plan.

Game plan?

Yeah.

I'm still kind of

sorting through everything.

That's great.

So, what do you think

about this?

I thought I would

start out talking

about how important

music really is,

and then I would

tell some stories.

Like, did you know that Ravel

liked to dress up like a lady?

Is that too risqu?

You know, I think we should

probably just wing it.

Okay, but you know what?

I have to thank you again.

I was driving in this morning.

I heard I Won't Back Down

by Tom Petty, and I said,

"Yes, that is a sign."

Wow, are you solid.

Okay.

Okay. Okay. 5:
00.

What's going on?

Where is everybody?

Well, the meeting

doesn't start till 5:00.

It's 5:
15.

Well, then you're late,

like everybody else.

Where do you think they are?

- Am I at the right place?

- Yes.

You are, absolutely.

Thank you so much

for coming, Miss Flores.

Are you kidding me?

Of course, Marty.

You know what I'm going to do?

I think I'm going to go

round up the other teachers.

They got to be somewhere.

Maybe they thought

it was in the cafeteria.

I think I saw

some people there.

Yes. I'm going to

try the cafeteria.

I'm feeling good about this.

There's no one in

the cafeteria, is there?

Just that janitor

that talks to himself.

I guess it was unrealistic

to think that

anybody would show up

when everybody has

their own problems.

You showed up.

You shut up.

I said, "You showed up."

Oh. I guess

I'm unrealistic.

But I got to say,

it's really nice

what you're doing for Marty.

Well, we tried, you know. I

mean, what are you going to do?

What are you talking about?

You can't give up on him now.

He's so passionate

about what he does.

This school needs more

people like him, not less.

Yeah, no, no,

I know, that's what...

No, I'm saying

that's what we got to do.

We got to find a way

to make this thing work,

and we got to stick at it.

So, what exactly is the plan?

Well, first off,

we got to get $48,000.

That's a definite.

Then we should probably help

save Marty's job after that.

Wow. I can see that you put

a lot of thought into it.

Well, how about this?

How about we work out a plan,

but we do it in

a controlled area,

which is my apartment,

and we put up charts and...

With the graphs and

the colored pencils.

But we have a plan, we go, "We

got to get to here by then."

Not a chance.

Okay, you're

making me work at this.

I understand. I get it.

What if I dunk this ball

in that hoop,

then you have dinner with me

at my house Friday night?

What do you say?

You dunk a basketball?
