We want to hit the ground

running.

We've got a lot of ground

to cover today.

We're going to start

where we left off.

Excuse me, Mr. West?

Josh, principal's office.

Oh!

Quiet!

The rest of you, then,

your attention this way, please.

I'm going to ask you

a bunch of questions,

see who was paying attention

last time.

Have a seat, Josh.

Says here you wanted

to see me?

I did.

Give me a second.

Gulf War, the picture

you're looking at.

It was a pretty rough war.

Yeah, I can imagine.

No, you can't.

Okay, I'm all done here.

Josh, this school prides itself

on a couple things,

including a pretty solid

football team.

Been that way for years.

The one thing it doesn't pride

itself on is its dance team.

It places last nearly

every year.

It's come to my attention

they just had their first

victory in seven years.

They used a song you were kind

enough to mix for them.

Ah!

No, thanks.

You haven't heard my proposal

yet.

Look, I'm not interested,

and you can't make me, right?

So, can I go now?

You may.

Oh, come on!

Get it, get it to Nabor!

Come on, oh!

Goddamn it!

How come you like soccer

so much?

I don't know.

I just do.

It was all I knew growing up.

That, and war.

What do you mean "war"?

My dad, he was in the army.

Is that why you joined?

Yeah.

Military father, huh?

What was that like?

Your dad, he...

He a good guy?

He was a... disciplined guy.

What about you?

Was your dad around?

Did you read my file?

Yeah, kind of.

So, you're living with him

now, right?

Yeah, and no.

No, he wasn't around.

He left before I was born.

Oh, that's gotta suck.

You gotta totally be loving

living with him then, huh?

Hey, you smoke, right?

What do you mean,

like, cigarettes?

No, no, like...

Yeah, I do.

Why, you want some?

No, no, I'm uh...

I am done with that.

I used to smoke a lot

when I was in Iraq.

I used to smoke just to calm

my nerves down, you know?

You see a lot of crazy sh*t

over there.

Sleepless nights,

nightmares, stuff like that.

They call it post-traumatic

stress disorder in my field.

So, what's that got to do

with me smoking?

Just wondered what it is

you're trying to pacify,

you know, inside, that's all.

You don't have to live the war

to live at war,

you know what I mean?

Uh, just a second!

What's up?

You don't have to stop smoking

on my behalf.

Just don't burn the house down,

okay?

Some friends of yours are here.

No, thanks.

No, please, just hear us out!

You heard we won

last week?

First time in, like,

seven years.

Yeah, and Josh, we know it's

'cause of that song you mixed.

Honestly, we were just...

Like, transformed!

I can't.

Come on, just mix some songs
