The Blind Side Page #3

awhile back about...

a man who fell off an overpass?

No one knew who he was

and or if he jumped, or...

Umm... anyway he...

he passed away.

Mike, that man was your father.

They've been looking for somebody to

notify and they...

They found your name on our registry.

I'm really sorry, son.

Were you close to him?

When's the last time you saw him?

I dunno.

- He knows it!

- Who knows it and what does he know?

The material. Michael Oher.

I gave him this test verbally.

Is that even allowed?

A "C."

On how big a curve?

He's been listening all along.

It's amazing what he's absorbed.

And trust me. He's listening to you, too.

Now, his reading level is low

and he's got no idea how to learn

in the classroom.

I'm not saying he's going to pass

but Big Mike is not stupid.

- Hey.

- What, Mom?

- Good job.

- Yes?

Good job.

Hey, I got a question for you.

Go.

There was a little girl

about two rows back.

What was her name?

- Oh, that was Kinsey.

- Kinsey. Yeah.

I saw your little indian feathers

get all ruffled up.

Yeah. She's nice.

SJ, don't let this go to your head

but I thought you were

very convincing in the role of...

- Indian Number Three.

- Yes.

I tried out for the Chief

but they gave it to Andy Sung.

I can't be sure, but I think there was

some multicultural bias thing working.

Or maybe they just thought

he'd make a better chief.

Dad, he's like Chinese.

Yeah and you're Irish.

And if you weren't the Chief,

how did you get that headdress?

Dad, I'm gonna need a few more

of those free Quesadilla tickets.

And where does the acorn fall?

Hey, don't laugh too hard.

The Quesadilla saved our ass.

Don't use the a-word.

What is he wearin'?

It's freezing.

What is his name again?

Big Mike.

Where is he going?

Hey, Big Mike!

Where you headin'?

Gym....

Go ahead.

Turn around.

Big Mike...

Stop the car.

Big Mike.

Hey, my name is Leigh Anne Tuohy.

My kids go to Wingate.

You said you're going to the gym?

The school gym's closed.

Why were you going to the gym?

Big Mike?!

Why were you going to the gym?

Because... it's warm.

Do you have any place to stay tonight?

Don't you dare lie to me.

I've seen that look many times.

She's about to get her way.

Come on.

Come on.

SJ, make room.

Get inside.

Come on.

- Where are we going?

- Home.

Oh no! That's my favourite part.

So cute.

How'd the dork do

in the school play?

Umm... Okay.

Collins, you know Big Mike

from school?

I'd give you the guest bedroom

but it's full of sample boxes.

And the sectional in the family room

slides apart when you sleep on it.

At least that's what Sean says.

Mr. Tuohy sleeps on the coach?

Only when he's bad. All right.
