Everything all right?

No, actually.

Ms. Gadbaw,

the detention monitor...

Mr. Brown, would you mind

doing me a quick favor?

It'll only take a minute.

Now. if there are

any problems in here.

Mr. Brown will report

them directly to me.

I'm not joking.

Thank you so much.

I'll be back with a monitor soon.

It's fine.

Hey, y'all supposed

to be out of your seats?

Hey, man, we just getting up so you can

clean the gum off the bottom of our chairs.

I got to go to the bathroom.

Not until Ms. King gets back.

She'll be back in a minute.

Come on. Please?

What's your name, son?

I'm Percy Hall.

Yo, sit down, Peanut.

Peanut?

Is that what they call you?

What you want, girl?

What you want?

Hey. Hey, all right.

That's enough, now.

Come on, y'all.

Have a seat.

Sit down.

You let me go to the bathroom, I

can make them sit and stay down.

No deal.

Man.

Hey, I'm not going to tell

y'all again, sit down.

Yo, relax, man.

Man, we ain't got to listen to no

janitor. You ain't no teacher.

Have a seat, son, right now.

Or what?

You some kind of tough guy?

You want to find out?

Huh?

What is he doing?

Sit down.

What you nodding

your head for, Peanut?

All right.

Trini.

How do you know where I live?

I looked you up.

Just because I went to jail

don't mean I can't read.

"Doesn't" mean you can't read.

Hey, Trini, Trini.

It's "Katrina".

Sorry.

Katrina.

I got a job at your old school.

I know I made mistakes

in the past, a lot of mistakes.

I'm just trying to make

things right, that's all.

I'm just trying to make things

right with you, Katrina.

You're my girl.

Trini.

You're my gir...

Trini.

I just want to make

things right for us.

Ms. King.

Mr. Brown.

Thanks again for the other day.

I was...

I was really impressed.

You're welcome.

Well, I'm off to a meeting.

Keep up the good work.

Oh...

about the other day.

When is Ms. Gadbaw coming back?

She's not.

Oh, well, what are you going

to do about detention?

What you doing in these parts?

I missed my bus, was late.

I don't plan on making it a habit.

Maybe you should.

I'm here.

Name's Michelle, right?

I'm T.

I know who you are.

All right, let's go.

Everybody have a seat.

Aw.

Look who it is.

You here to clean the blackboards?

For those of you who don't remember

me, my name is Eugene Brown.

Does that mean

we can call you "Genie?"

That'd be the last thing

you ever call me.

Ooh.

What's that?

This here is a chess board.

Anybody know how to play chess?

Hey, yo.

You think you're pretty smart, huh?

Why don't you come up here

and play me a game, then.

You're corny, man.

I ain't playing no games with you.

What's your name, son?

Clifton.

And I ain't your son.
