Virginia. Said the food

was nasty, too.

It's not worse

than prison.

Almost.

Tyrus told me when he

was in juvie upstate,

if you got in a fight

or whatever,

they sent you to solitary,

you get the "Dagwood Smoothie."

The what?

"Dagwood Smoothie." They take a baloney

sandwich, an apple, some milk,

put it in a blender, you gotta drink it

from a straw through the bars.

- Get the f*** outta here!

- For real.

F*** it,

I'll starve.

That's true.

Unless there was some

mustard on the baloney.

If there was some mustard

or mayonnaise on there,

that could be tasty,

actually.

Sh*t.

What if you just kept all your stuff

at school in the lockers?

Then when night comes,

hang out, stay up all night,

go back to school

in the morning.

Sh*t, I sleep through

all my classes anyway.

I might as well

stay up all night.

- Take a shower after gym.

- Nasty.

You don't take

a shower anyway,

no matter

where you are.

Shut up.

Bam! You see that?

Sayonara, b*tch!

I could sleep up

on the roof.

Why you obsessing on

sh*t like that, son?

You know what's

gonna happen?

You're gonna bounce around for a week,

and your dad will take you back.

I don't know

why you stressing.

Bam! What, motherf***er?

You're dead, go home!

I always get my man.

This is Daddy!

Ooh!

You going to school?

Hold up, hold up.

Come on. Move!

Look, I gotta go.

See you later.

- I didn't even set it off.

- You don't need to set it off,

you're late.

The rules change after 8:00 A.M.

And if you wanna keep running off

at the mouth, you can do it to Mr. Harrison.

All right, you're good.

Go ahead.

Before we can extrapolate

that information...

We don't know

at this point.

Are you in this class?

Yeah. Angel Rodriguez.

Go ahead and have a seat.

Mrs. Leonardis is out sick.

One of those insights

is that fighting behavior

in all species of animals involves

the same components.

Dr. Kravitz and his colleagues

list three stages

of aggression in lobsters

and fruit flies...

One:
limited aggression

where weapons are displayed

and the fighters

bump each other;

Two:
mid-level aggression,

with much pushing and shoving;

Three:
high-level

aggression, slugging it out.

- Have a good day.

- Thank you.

Here you go.

Thank you.

What happened

to your lip?

Nothing.

Tell him I'm in a meeting,

I'll call him back. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Please, continue.

We were talking about the need

to come up with some strategies

for Angel and his father

to deal with conflict.

We can strategize

about whatever you want,

it's not gonna change

the situation.

I want him out

of the house.

At least in the Army

he can learn some skills.

We were hoping that you would
