OLD MAN.

WRONG.

( laughing )

IT'S JUST DISTURBING, HONEY

SHE MISSED MY CLASS TODAY.

AH, SHE CAN AFFORD IT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

"SHE CAN AFFORD IT"?

COME ON, BABY.

GIVE THE GIRL A BREAK.

I MEAN, HER MOTHER HAS CANCER,

BUT THE WOMAN IS STILL WORKING.

AND YOU SAY THAT SHE'S

AT THE TOP OF YOUR CLASS.

RIGHT?

YEAH.

THIS LITTLE GIRL'S TURNING

IN ALL HER WORK ON TIME.

I'M JUST SAYING SHE

DESERVES A COUPLE OF DAYS.

OKAY, WELL, WHAT IF

IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER?

( laughs )

THEN I'D TAN THAT HIDE.

EXACTLY.

NO.

THAT IS NO THE SAME THING.

WELL, WHY NOT?

BECAUSE BOTH OF US

ARE STILL HERE,

AND YOU ARE NOT SICK.

WELL, WE'LL JUST SEE

HOW EASY IT ALL IS

WHEN WE DO HAVE KIDS.

( muttering )

TAKE ABOUT A FEW MORE--

( bell ringing )

Tonya:

SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW.

OH, AND LET'S MAKE SURE

WE'RE PUTTING THE "WORK"

INTO THE HOMEWORK

TONIGHT, OKAY?

PLEASE.

I'M EXPECTING GREAT THINGS.

OH, MISS NASH.

THANK YOU.

( scoffs )

NO, I DO UNDERSTAND.

I MEAN, REALLY

I NEED YOU TO BE A MAN.

WHO BREAKS UP BY TEXT?

( sighs )

NO, I DO HEAR YOU.

I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME.

GROW UP.

GEEZ!

GOOD MORNING, MISS JACKSON.

ROUGH DAY?

HONEY, I'D PAY SOMEBODY

TO MAKE IT GO FASTER.

I HEAR YOU.

COULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

I NEED TO SEE A FILE

ON ONE OF MY STUDENTS.

NAME?

GERTRUDE NASH.

HMM. GERTRUDE NASH.

DON'T KNOW HER.

MUST BE:

A FIRST TIME OFFENDER.

OH, NO. SHE'S NO IN ANY TROUBLE.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE

SHE DID ANYTHING WRONG.

I'M JUST GETTING

TO KNOW MY STUDENTS.

ALL RIGHT.

WHEN YOU'RE DONE,

JUST PUT IT IN:

THAT BASKET, OKAY?

OKAY, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. MM-HMM.

THANK YOU.

SURE, SWEETIE.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

( bell ringing )

( sniffling )

I CAN'T DO THIS BY MYSELF.

YES, YOU CAN,

GERTIE.

CAN YOU HELP ME,

PLEASE?

I TAUGHT YOU EVERYTHING

YOU NEED TO KNOW.

TRUST YOURSELF.

WHAT IF I MESS UP?

THEN WE'LL START AGAIN.

NOW, YOUR AUDIENCE

IS WAITING.

Mom:

I'M RIGHT HERE.

ALL I WANT YOU TO DO IS

PLAY YOUR SONG, LITTLE GIRL.

PLAY YOUR SONG.

WELL, ARE YOU GOING TO

PLAY THAT THING OR WHAT?

MR. MUNSON KNOWS I'M HERE.

HE JUST--

I'M NOT HERE TO BUST YOU,

MISS NASH.

I HEARD THE MUSIC

AS I WAS COMING IN,

AND I THOUGHT I'D STOP IN

FOR A FREE CONCERT.

WILL I GET ONE?

I'M NOT THAT GOOD.

PLAY SOMETHING:

AND LET ME SEE.

I'D RATHER NOT.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE

TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT.

I'M NOT EMBARRASSED.

THEN WHAT IS IT?

YOU JUST DON' WANT TO PLAY FOR ME?

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.

WELL, I'M REALLY HURT BY THAT.

JUST KIDDING.

ME TOO.

MISS NASH, LET ME

ASK YOU A QUESTION.

AND I REALLY WANT YOU

TO BE HONEST WITH ME.

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT IN TROUBLE.

AND EITHER WAY,

I'M NOT GOING TO JUDGE YOU.

IT'S JUST...
