Ugh!

Uh, A Bounce Pass

Next Time.

Yeah, Sorry About That.

Forgot You're A Blind Guy.

So What Does A Guy Have

To Do In This Joint

To Be Accepted?

Basically, Be A Jock.

[Chuckles]

Great.

Everyone Thinks, Like,

A Letterman's Jacket Is,

Like, King Of The World

Or Something.

It's Not Gonna

Help Me Much.

Man, What Are You

Talking About?

You're 10 Times

The Basketball Player I Am,

And You Can't Even See

What You're Doing.

I Shouldn't

Have Said That.

Oh, I've Heard Worse.

Think Fast!

Jace:
Wait.

I'm Confused.

I Thought

I Was The Blind Guy?

Ha Ha.

Very Funny,

Chuckles.

Come On.

All Right, Gentlemen,

We're Gonna Work

On The Weave.

We'll Need 3 Groups

At Half-Court.

May To August?

You're In The Middle.

Everybody Else On The Right.

Jace, Phil Rice.

Welcome To Homestead.

Thank You.

You Might Want To Use

This Time To Go

Do Some Homework

Or Something.

No, I Can Do This.

I Used To Play Basketball

All The Time At Home.

Not To Be Rude,

But How?

With

A Bounce-Pass-Only Rule,

And We Need A Beeping

Backboard So I Can Tell

Where The Hoop Is.

Well, I'm Certainly Gonna Look

Into Getting One Of Those,

But For Today

You'll Have To Sit Out.

The Bleachers Are Over Here.

Beep, Beep.

Thank You!

Here We Go, Fellas!

Good, Crisp Passes!

Good Job.

Shoot Like A Ute!

That's It.

No, No, No.

In Espaol,

Por Favor.

Claro.

Trienta, Cuarinta,

Y, Uh...

Cinquana.

[Groans] Yeah, Ok.

That's Right.

That's There

In The Ol' Ballpark.

Ok, Who Wants To Try

60, 70, And 80?

Mr. Kamen:

Is There A Problem,

Jace?

Somebody Took

My Tape Recorder.

Mr. Kamen:
Well, Whoever

Has Jace's Recorder

Return It To Him, Please?

[Alarm Rings]

Ok, That Is The Fire Bell.

Now, Let's Take

This Seriously.

We Don't Know If It's

A Drill Or The Real Thing.

So, Please,

Evacuate As Quickly

And As Calmly As Possible.
