he'll break both my legs
off and beat me with them.
- You'll still make the team.
- Save it, Book.
- I'm telling you, Joseph.
You gotta try out.
This one is in the stars.
It was meant to be.
My mom always said,
"Good comes from bad."
And I believe it.
- Move it!
- A**hole!
- Wait up!
Wait up, guys!
Wait up!
Coming through!
We were mad-dogged.
Billy Hayes mad-dogged us.
We were mad-dogged.
Goddammit!
We're dead.
- We weren't mad-dogged.
- And if we were?
- We weren't.
- And if we were, a**hole?
They may as well be
feeding us to the lions.
interesting question:
Who is they?
Take a hit, Bookie.
You could use one.
- I think you could use the hit.
- Book was right, Mouth.
That was pretty stupid.
- Yeah, a full-page ad
could've been more effective.
- Come on, you guys
treat this guy
like he's some kind
of super villain.
Trust me, we're the last
thing on Billy Hayes' mind.
Chill.
- For the first time in your
life, I hope you're right.
- I'm always right.
- Ma?
Hey, Mom!
Mom?
- Hi, guys.
Remember me?
Um, it looks like your dad and I
are gonna be home
late again tonight,
'cause the hospital's a zoo.
So you guys, the
freezer's loaded.
Actually, I don't think it is.
I forgot to go to the market.
Oh, I'm sorry.
How was your tryout, Joey?
I can't wait to
hear all about...
- Dr. Pacelli to ICU, stat.
Dr. Pacelli to ICU, stat.
- I gotta go, sweetheart.
I promise, promise, promise
I will make your favorite
yummy dinner tomorrow.
I love you, Joey.
I love you, Dale.
See you in the morning.
- Right.
- Reuben?
Is something wrong?
- No.
- Are you sure?
- They canceled our
baseball league.
- They did? Why?
- Because you're buffoons.
That's why.
Everything this city
does turns into a mess.
Look at the parks.
Look at the police
and the schools.
They can't even afford
to buy their own books.
And that's why we're
getting you out of there.
Are your ready for
your entrance exam?
- Yeah.
- Good.
- But why do I have to go?
- Because you do.
- Yeah...
but why?
- I'll tell you why.
Because I was never
given an opportunity.
And because I'm working too hard
to see you wasting away in some
broken-down public school.
- But...
what about my friends?
- Your friends?
Huh.
Well, Reuben, your granddad
moved us when I was your age,
and I made new friends.
So you'll make new
friends, all right?
You make friends
wherever you go.
That's life.
- I have no desire to
go the creepin' school.
And he says I have no choice.
He won't even reason with me.
- Then screw him.
Don't go. I wouldn't.
- I can't do that.
