I HAVE A LOT OF LIBERAL FRIENDS.

EVER TRY TO ARGUE WITH LIBERAL PEOPLE?

IF YOU'RE A LIBERAL

I'VE GOT TO GO "FINE"--

EVERY GENERALIZATION, EVERY STEREOTYPE--

NOTHING IS TRUE.

OKAY, FILIPINOS DON'T EAT DOGS.

A LOT OF ITALIAN BUSINESSES

ARE VERY LEGITIMATE.

FINE.

NO, I'VE NEVER SEEN AN ITALIAN WOMAN

WITH A MUSTACHE.

A BLACK MAN'S BUTT IS NOT HIGHER UP

THAN A WHITE GUY'S BUTT.

FINE.

BLACK PEOPLE HAVE SELF-CONTROL IN MOVIE THEATERS--

SOMETIMES THEY SHUT UP.

JAPANESE TOURISTS

NEVER HAVE PHOTO EQUIPMENT--

ARE ALWAYS WELL ENDOWED.

JEWISH PEOPLE ARE RUSHING TO PICK UP A CHECK.

OKAY, FINE.

CHINESE PEOPLE ARE EXCELLENT DRIVERS.

FINE.

PUERTO RICANS

ARE ALWAYS USING BIRTH CONTROL METHODS.

FINE.

MILLIONS OF MEXICANS ARE AT HOME RIGHT NOW

WITHOUT ONE VELVET PAINTING.

FINE.

GOOD NIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

PLEASE STOP IT.

THANK YOU.

STOP IT.

PLEASE, I NEED SOME HELP.

IT'S AMATEUR NIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

THIS IS... UH-OH. THANK YOU. HELLO!

AMATEUR NIGHT MEANS WE BRING ON PEOPLE

WHO ONLY THINK THEY'RE FUNNY.

THESE JERKS, THESE IDIOTS--

THEY'RE FLIPPING BURGERS

AT JACK IN THE BOX.

THEY MAKE LOVE, TURN OVER AND TELL A JOKE.

THESE MORNING DJs--

ARE THEY THE WORST?

THEY'RE ALL HERE.

WE'LL START THE SHOW

WITH THIS... A HIGH SCHOOL KID.

HIS NAME IS MARTY SELTZER.

LET'S BRING HIM OUT HERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

THE COMEDY STYLINGS

OF MR. MARTY SELTZER.

MARTY!

LET'S BRING HIM OUT HERE.

MARTY SELTZER-- IS THAT A STAGE NAME?

I HOPE IT'S NOT.

YOU'RE JUST MAD 'CAUSE YOU'RE SHORT.

( audience is silent )

UH, I'M SORRY I'M LATE TONIGHT, BUT, UH...

( feedback )

BUT I...

AS I WAS DRIVING IN--

I'M REALLY UPSET.

I'M FREAKING OUT.

I HEARD ON THE RADIO--

ANYBODY HEAR IT?

ONE OF MY HEROES, STEVIE WONDER, WAS ARRESTED FOR MURDER.

APPARENTLY STEVIE GOT HIS EYESIGHT BACK

AND STRANGLED THE GUY...

APPARENTLY STEVIE GOT HIS EYESIGHT BACK

AND KILLED THE GUY WHO'S BEEN DOING HIS HAIR

FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS.

HE STRANGLED HIM WITH HIS BEADS.

MY GIRLFRIEND WENT TO A FAT FARM.

WHAT DO THEY GROW?

MY GIRLFRIEND, SHE'S ALWAYS DIETING.

SHE'S ON HEADCHEESE DIET.

ANYBODY EVER HEARD OF A HEADCHEESE SANDWITCH?

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M PUTTING YOU THROUGH YOUR MORNING WORKOUT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LINCOLN'S MARK HARDY

EXECUTES A PERFECT TWO POINT REVERSAL

AND THREE MORE FOR THE PIN!

MARK...

COME ON.

HEY.

WE GOT TO TALK.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK.

NO!

HERE IT COMES, RIGHT?

THE OLD ROMEO AND JULIET SPEECH.

YOU'RE A MONTAGUE, AND I'M A CAPULET...

AND THAT'S RIGHT.

WEST SIDE STORY WAS A FLUKE?

WEST SIDE STORY WAS A MOVIE.

YOU GET UP AT 6:00 A.M. JUST SO WE CAN HOLD HANDS.

SO WE JUST HOLD HANDS, HUH?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

YES, I DO.

YOU'RE AFRAID TO BE WITH ME.

LIKE IT WOULD PLAY AT YOUR MOM'S BRIDGE CLUB.

BESIDES, MY FATHER WOULD HAVE A STROKE.

YOUR FATHER LIKES ME.

HE TOLERATES YOU.

THAT CAN'T BE A SURPRISE.

THINK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AT SCHOOL.

WHO CARES?

I CARE.

DON'T.

I HATE THE WAY YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT?

I CAN'T.

LOOK, IT'S OVER.

HEY, Y'ALL, A LITTLE HELP.

YOU WANT TO TOSS ME THE BALL?

AH! OOH! ALMOST GOT A WINDOW.

WHAT THE HELL YOU DO THAT FOR, MAN?

AW, HEY, MAN...

♪ DO-WAH, DO-WAH, DOO... ♪

WHAT?

ALL I ASKED YOU TO DO

WAS GIVE ME BACK THE BALL.

HEY, MAN, I TRIED

BUT I GUESS I'M NOT AS ATHLETICALLY INCLINED

AS YOU PEOPLE IS.

LET HIM GO, TIM.

WHEN YOUR OLD MAN NEEDS A JOB

MY FATHER'S PLANT NEEDS A NEW JANITOR.

PLEASE, LET HIM GO.

LET HIM GO.

WE'LL GET YOU SHINES BUSED BACK OUT OF HERE.

HANSON, LET'S GET TO IT.

AND THEN YOU'RE BACK INSIDE RIGHT AFTER LUNCH PERIOD.

HOFFS? WHERE'S PENDHALL?

NOT IN 'TILL 11.

IT IS 11.

APPARENTLY STEVIE GOT HIS EYESIGHT BACK AND KILLED A GUY WHOS BEEN FIXING HIS HAIR.

ANYBODY EVER HAD A HEADCHEESE SANDWITCH?

I MEAN HEADCHEESE, WHERE DO THEY GET IT?

THERE'S A LOT OF RACIAL TENSION AT LINCOLN HIGH.

I SEE THAT.

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW.

I'M SORRY, BUT I DIDN'T MAKE THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON.

THAT'S APPARENT.

Hoffs: WHOA!

GO EASY, GUYS.

BACK THEN WE COULDN'T JOIN THE FORCE

UNLESS WE OUT-TESTED EVERYBODY ELSE.

WE'D HOPED THIS STUFF HAD ENDED IN 1967

IN NEWARK, DETROIT.

THIS STUFF ABOUT WHOSE COUNTRY IT IS.

IT STINKS.

DOESN'T IT, HARRY?

HEY, CAPTAIN, I'M JUST GLAD TO BE HERE.

STEREOS COST A LOT IN TOKYO.

HE UNDERSTANDS YOU, CAPTAIN.

SO DO I.

DO YOU?

WHAT ABOUT HOWARD BEACH LAST YEAR?

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

RECENT ADMINISTRATIONS OPPOSING AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

BERNARD GOETZ.

IT'S STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN.

MAYBE IT WAS ONLY A FIGHT.

MAYBE IT WASN'T.

I'M NOT SO SURE BERNARD GOETZ WAS WRONG.

BACK TO THE 1950s, HOFFS?

WHEN BLACK WOMEN WEREN'T GETTING

MY KIND OF JOBS.

HANSON--

MY REPORT SAYS POTENTIAL RACE RIOT.

DOES THAT DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED?

CALL IT A FIST FIGHT FOR NOW

BUT DON'T TELL JESSE JACKSON.

YEAH.

THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS AT LINCOLN.

THERE'S A NEW BLACK PRINCIPAL IN A MOSTLY WHITE SCHOOL.

HE'S A NUT ABOUT THE BUSING.

IT COULD GET WORSE.

COME ON, CAPTAIN.

I GREW UP WITH THIS "WHITEY'S GOT YOUR JOB" STUFF.

HOFFS, WHAT DOES YOUR FATHER DO FOR A LIVING?

YOU KNOW WHAT HE DOES.

I WANT YOU TO SAY IT OUT LOUD.

HE'S A DENTIST.

A DENTIST.

MINE WAS A BELLBOY.

HANSON, KEEP WORKING LINCOLN HIGH

FROM THE INSIDE.

SORRY, I'M LATE.

I WAS WORKING ON SOME STUFF.

OKAY, SO STEVIE WONDER GETS ARRESTED FOR MURDER...

WHOA, TOUGH ROOM.

IN GENERAL, I MUST ADMIT I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

BY YESTERDAY'S TEST RESULTS.

ALTHOUGH, TOM...

EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NEW HERE

I'LL EXPECT BETTER NEXT TIME.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS WHAT PUNK ROCKERS USE

TO BLEACH THEIR HAIR...

( class laughs )

BUT IS ALSO ROCKET FUEL.

NICE JOB.

YOU ONLY MISSED ONE.

I DIDN'T MISS ANY.

RUB IT IN.

RUB THIS, MAN: IT ISN'T WRONG.

THIS ANSWER'S CORRECT, MR. HALLER.

YOU DID A GREAT JOB, PATRICK

BUT I'M AFRAID IT'S NOT.

THE HELL IT ISN'T.

Hanson: TAKE IT EASY. IT'S AN "A-".

THIS IS CRAP.

MR. RILEY, WE'LL DISCUSS THIS LATER

AND I'LL EXPLAIN...

NOT LATER-- NOW.

HEAT IS ENERGY.

ANY IDIOT KNOWS THAT.

I DIDN'T.

( class laughs )

PATRICK, WE'LL TALK AFTER CLASS.

HEAT IS ENERGY.

I WON'T TAKE AN "A-" ON A PERFECT PAPER.

HEAT IS ENERGY, BUT ENERGY ISN'T ALWAYS HEAT.

THAT'S CRAP, MAN.

PATRICK, I HAVE TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE THE CLASS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK.

( door slams )

Mark: NICKY.

( alarm ringing )

SINGLE FILE.

NO TALKING.

RECESS.

FORM A LINE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION.

( everyone talking at once )

( students hoot and laugh )

YOU LOOK GOOD, MAN!

GET HIM!

LET'S TRASH THE SCHOOL.

I THINK WE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.

NO.

WE'VE GOT A RACE RIOT GOING ON HERE.

WATTS WAS A RACE RIOT, MR. HALLER.

GEORGE, WE NEED HELP.

I'M THE PRINCIPAL HERE, BILL.

GO BACK TO YOUR CLASSROOM.

THIS WILL SETTLE DOWN.

PLEASE.

MR. MESSIAH.

WHAT'S UP WITH THE TEARS, CHAMP?

I HATE THIS, DADDY.

IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME.

THAT'S ALL.

READY FOR SATURDAY?

THIS IS A BIG MEET

FOR BOTH OF YOU.

YOUR DAUGHTER'S MORE READY THAN I AM, SIR.

SHE BETTER BE.

YOU HAVEN'T TOLD HIM, HAVE YOU?

OH, YEAH, SURE.

YOU DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?

"MARTY SELTZER"?

Penhall: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

IT'S STUPID.

YOU THINK JERRY LEWIS IS JUST A FUNNY NAME?

NO.

THE GUY'S A COMICAL GENIUS.

JUST ASK THE FRENCH.

LEWIS IS BIG BOX OFFICE IN PARIS.

YOU KNOW WHY?

'CAUSE HE'S FUNNY.

PASS ME THOSE WIRE CUTTERS.

HE IS?

WATCH IT, PENHALL.

HE'S ONE OF THE GREATS.

YOU GOT HIM, HOPE, SKELTON--

VERY FUNNY GUYS, THESE GUYS ARE.

ALL OF THEM-- EXCEPT MAYBE HOPE.

( TV audio tunes in )

GREAT, CHANNEL 61/2!

YOU THINK IT'S MY MATERIAL?

ABSOLUTELY.

THAT STUFF WITH STEVIE WONDER--

HIM BEING BLIND AND ALL--

THAT AIN'T FUNNY.

HEADCHEESE?

PERSONALLY, I HAPPEN TO LIKE HEADCHEESE.

NEVER OFFEND YOUR AUDIENCE.

YOU WANT TO BE FUNNY?

LISTEN TO ME.

I AM FUNNY.

WHEN DO YOU GO ON AGAIN?

AMATEUR NIGHT IS EVERY TUESDAY.

THAT AIN'T A LOT OF TIME.

I WANT TO BE AS FUNNY ON STAGE AS I AM AT WORK.

YOU'RE FUNNY AT WORK 'CAUSE PEOPLE HATE BEING THERE

AND THEY'RE BORED.

WORKING A CLUB, YOU BETTER HAVE A PRODUCT

'CAUSE PEOPLE PAY A COVER.

YOU DON'T MAKE THEM LAUGH, IT'S LIKE STEALING.

STEALING?

GRAND THEFT COMEDY.

( electrical sparking and explosion )

Students: I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE

WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

NIGGER.

HONKY.

SPIC, MICK, KIKE, WOP

CHINK, SLOPE, GOOK, WETBACK.

THAT SHOULD COVER AT LEAST SOME OF THE THINGS

WE CAN SAY TO EACH OTHER THAT HURT.

NOT ALL OF THEM--

BUT SOME OF THEM.

NOBODY COULD COVER THEM ALL.

NO MATTER ON WHAT SIDE OF THOSE WORDS

YOU HAPPEN TO BE

YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM.

THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE MORE.

SO WHAT?

I'M NOT THE KIND OF GUY WHO GETS A TEAR IN HIS EYE

EVERY TIME HE HEARS THE "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE ME.

I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE YOU.

BUT NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING BAD ENOUGH HERE AT LINCOLN HIGH

TO MAKE ANYBODY HATE EACH OTHER.

AT LEAST, NOT YET.

"H"

"A"

"T"

"E."

SIMPLE WORD-- FOUR LETTERS.

"HURT" HAS FOUR LETTERS, TOO.

AND SO DOES "LOVE."

I'M NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO ASK YOU TO LOVE EACH OTHER

BUT I CAN ASK YOU

TO LIVE WITH EACH OTHER.

I'M NEW HERE.

WHEN I CAME TO YOUR SCHOOL

I BROUGHT A LOT OF BLACK BOYS AND GIRLS WITH ME

NOT TO STIR UP TROUBLE

OR ACT LIKE A BLEEDING HEART

THAT WOULD TURN THE WORLD

INTO A WONDERFUL, LOVING RAINBOW.

I DID IT BECAUSE I'M A MAN WHO BELIEVES IN FOLLOWING RULES

AND MY RULES TELL ME

I HAVE TO BUS IN A BLACK STUDENT POPULATION OF 22 PERCENT.

ANYBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT, I'D BE GLAD TO TALK TO THEM.

ANYBODY'S PARENTS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT--

CAN GO TO HELL.

NOW, ON SATURDAY...

LINCOLN HIGH HAS THE HONOR

OF HOSTING THE STATE FINALS IN TRACK.

I'M ASKING ALL OF US TO LOOK

INSIDE OURSELVES AND FIND THE ONE THING

WE ALL SHARE.

I GUESS IT'S CALLED PRIDE.

LET THAT PRIDE HELP US ACT IN A WAY

WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF.

LET IT HELP US MAKE A LITTLE BIGGER FOOTPRINT

IN THE SAND--

MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO FOLLOW US.

Announcer: Get set.

Setrano off to a fast start for Central High.

He brings a string of six consecutive victories

to this afternoon's meet.

Sheldon, for Lincoln High, in the number eight lane

coming up to challenge

but Setrano clears the last hurdle.

HI, ANYBODY SITTING HERE?

YOU'RE THAT NEW KID, AREN'T YOU?

YEAH.

SOMEBODY SAID YOU WERE KIND OF CUTE.

IT'S A RUMOR.

Setrano holds on for the victory.

Sheldon, second

and Roth, third, for Lincoln.

All competitors for the men's 400 meter final

please report to the starting line.

( coughing and gagging )

I'M SORRY, DADDY, I'M SICK.

I USED TO GET SICK BEFORE A MEET, TOO.

IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF SICK.

DON'T LET THEM BEAT YOU DOWN.

YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL A WINNER IN THE GATE.

YOU'RE A WINNER.

DADDY, I'VE GOT TO TALK TO YOU.

ANY TIME, BABY.

WIN THAT RACE OUT THERE TODAY.

WIN IT IN THEIR OWN BACK YARD!

WIN IT FOR ALL THE CRAP WE HAD TO WADE THROUGH TO GET HERE.

GOOD LUCK OUT THERE TODAY, MARK.

NICOLETTE.

Lincoln High is proud to host

this year's track and field state finals

and we thank you for your support.

I THOUGHT IF OUR PARENTS TALKED LIKE THAT

WE SHOULD TELL THEM

TO GO TO HELL.

This is the final call for the men's 400 meter.

All competitors report to the starting line at this time.

Next up, the final heat of the 400 meters

featuring Lincoln High's own Mark Hardy

holder of the state record.

WHO DO YOU WANT TO WIN?

ARE YOU KIDDING? MARK!

Tammy: HE'S A FOX.

Hanson: I WANT PATRICK RILEY.

HE'S MY CHEMISTRY LAB PARTNER.

I DON'T WANT ANY OF THEM TO WIN.

THE LAST AMERICAN LIBERAL.

YOU SHOULD TALK TO MY DAD.

Hanson: NO, THANKS.

READY?

GOOD LUCK, BUD.

ARE YOU OKAY?

IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME

LET'S SETTLE IT.

YOU'RE MY RABBIT IN THIS RACE.

I'M NOT ANYBODY'S RABBIT!

THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO THE FINALS.

THAT'S HOW YOU GOT TO THE FINALS.

I JUST CARRIED YOUR CANDLE.

YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN WITHOUT THAT?

I KNOW I CAN.

I KNOW I CAN, TOO.

AND IF I DO

YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM NICKY MESSIAH.

ARE YOU GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT BET?

Runners, on your marks.

Get set.

Mark Hardy has snatched an early lead.

And now Patrick Riley makes his move

passing Mark Hardy out on the last turn.

These two are racing neck and neck.

We could be looking at a new record

as both runners head for the finish line.

Riley stumbles

as his teammate, Mark Hardy

takes the men's 400 meter in a record time

of 45.50 seconds.

And it looks as though Patrick Riley may have...

LEAVE ME ALONE!

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!

YOU OKAY, MAN?

YOU'RE A REAL CLASS ACT.

WHO DID YOU GET TO DO THIS?

WHO?

WHO DID YOU GET TO DO THIS?

Next up, the women's 5,000 meter cross-country

and favorite--

Lincoln High's own Nicolette Messiah.

( horn honking )

( loud thud )

( siren wailing )

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I THINK.

WORD'S OUT THAT SOME WHITE TEACHER

RAN NICKY DOWN ON PURPOSE.

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY?

I HOPE NOT.

I MEAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IF THEY DID.

I CAN.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN

A SUICIDE ATTEMPT.

YEAH, RIGHT. SORRY.

HEARING THINGS LIKE "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT"

MAKES ME A LITTLE NUTS.

I'M NOT BUYING SUICIDE.

NICKY'S BEAUTIFUL--

HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR HER.

WHY WOULD SHE TRY AND KILL HERSELF?

BECAUSE MAYBE THE RAINBOW WASN'T ENOUGH.

THAT WAS MY WIFE'S FAVORITE PLAY.

MINE, TOO.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW?

WHO KNOWS?

THERE COULD BE SOME KIND OF RETALIATION.

ALL RIGHT, YOU STAY CLOSE TO HER.

OKEY-DOKE.

BEING BLACK'S BEEN VERY DIFFERENT FOR YOU.

I KNOW.

IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SAY I'M SORRY ABOUT HOW I FEEL

BUT I'M TRYING.

I KNOW THAT, TOO.

I'M CONFUSED.

STILL?

YEAH, STILL.

LISTEN, I GOT TO ASK YOU THIS.

AM I FUNNY?

NO.

EXCUSE ME.

IS THAT TRUE?

SOMETIMES.

ARE YOU COMING TUESDAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

HOFFS, GOT A MINUTE?

ONLY NEXT OF KIN ARE ALLOWED TO SEE MISS MESSIAH.

I TOLD YOU THAT I AM NEXT OF KIN.

I MEAN, I'M HER BOYFRIEND.

Messiah: MARK.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WANT TO SEE HER.

I THINK YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH ALREADY.

NURSE, NO ONE SEES MY DAUGHTER.

MR. MESSIAH, IS SHE GOING TO BE OKAY?

IS SHE?

IS SHE GOING TO BE OKAY?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO HOME?

WHO'S THAT?

THAT'S MARK HARDY.

THE GUY'S, LIKE, PERFECT IN SCHOOL.

WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?

MAYBE HE'S A FRIEND OF NICKY'S.

HEY, HARDY!

( gunshots )

STOP! FREEZE, POLICE!

STAY WITH HIM.

ALL RIGHT, JUST BE COOL AND NOBODY GETS HURT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, MAN?

PATRICK.

COME OUT, PATRICK.

EASY, DROP THE GUN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, MAN?

I'M HERE.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

IT MAKES A HELL OF A DIFFERENCE, MAN.

YOU GONNA BUST THIS RENEGADE NIGGA?

I'M A COP WORKING UNDERCOVER.

YEAH? YOU'RE DOING A HELL OF A JOB.

LOOK MAN, I LIKE YOU.

JUST STAY OUT OF THIS.

I CAN'T.

COME ON, DROP THE GUN, PATRICK.

WHY SHOULD I?

BECAUSE THIS IS WRONG.

WRONG?

THIS IS WRONG?

COME ON, MAN.

NICKY'S IN THE HOSPITAL.

SO YOU KILL SOMEONE ELSE?

HE'S DEAD?

DROP THE GUN, PATRICK.

( gun hits floor )

DADDY.

HI, BABY.

I WANTED TO DIE.

BUT YOU DIDN'T.

I'M SORRY.

DON'T BE SORRY.

IS MY BABY OKAY?

YES.

YES.

DO YOU KNOW WHOSE IT IS?

MARK.

I LOVE HIM, DADDY.

DON'T HATE ME, DADDY.

Boyd: WE GOING TO LET THESE SHINES GET AWAY WITH THIS?

Crowd: NO!

Boy: ARE WE GOING TO LET PATRICK RILEY AND HIS BROTHERS

BLOW A HOLE IN MARK HARDY?

COME ON NOW, HE'S ONE OF OUR BEST.

Crowd: NO!

NOW THEY SAY WE CAN'T EVEN GET INTO OUR OWN SCHOOL.

WE NEED A DAY OFF TO COOL DOWN.

I DON'T WANT TO COOL DOWN!

I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM TRY AND RUN US OFF

FROM WHERE OUR PARENTS WORKED TO GET US TO.

MY OLD MAN MOVED OUT OF THAT CESS POOL

SO HE COULD RAISE HIS FAMILY RIGHT.

NOW THEY'RE MOVING BACK IN AGAIN.

WHO SAYS YOU WAS RAISED RIGHT, BOYD?

YOU LOVE THEM SO MUCH, WALTER

WHY DON'T YOU GO LIVE WITH THEM, HUH?

WHY DON'T YOU LET THEM TAKE YOUR DAD'S JOB.

SINCE WHEN YOUR DADDY HAVE A JOB TO TAKE?

( students tittering )

SINCE TODAY.

THE DAY I START GETTING ONE BACK FOR HIM.

Crowd: YEAH!

Boyd: TODAY IS THE DAY WE TAKE BACK WHAT'S OURS.

Crowd: YEAH!

( students shouting )

YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?

I DOUBT IT.

BUT WE STILL GOT A JOB TO DO.

LET'S GET INSIDE.

MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST RADIO IN TO FULLER.

AND MAKE HIM RIGHT?

NO.

OKAY, OKAY, I'M HERE.

I'M JUST A LITTLE WORRIED.

DON'T BE. YOU'RE WITH ME.

OH, I FORGOT-- THE FONZ.

NIGGER LOVER!

Tim: OKAY, SO NICKY'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THEY DIDN'T DO IT TO HER?

WE DON'T.

BUT THEY KNOW THAT PATRICK RILEY SHOT MARK.

BUT WHO STARTED IT?

YOU COME IN HERE AFTER THE FACT AND UNDER A BADGE.

( crowd murmuring )

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BELIEVE YOU EITHER.

MAYBE NOT.

HOW IS HARDY?

WHO CARES, MAN?

HEY, MAN, I DO.

I MEAN, HE'S MY QUARTERBACK.

HE WON'T BE THROWING PASSES FOR A WHILE, BUT HE'S OKAY.

SO WHAT YOU SAYING?

WE SHOULD SIT BACK AND TAKE IT?

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT SOMEBODY SHOULD TRY

TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT.

YOU CAN AFFORD TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE WHITE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

ME, I GOT TO PROTECT MYSELF.

I'M GOING TO DO WHAT I GOT TO DO.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

NICKY'S PREGNANT, ISN'T SHE?

WHO ARE YOU?

WE'RE COPS.

TERRIFIC.

COME ON, THIS IS GETTING A LITTLE RIDIC...

LOOK, MARK

IT'S YOUR BABY, ISN'T IT?

YES.

I DIDN'T WANT HER TO HAVE AN ABORTION.

IS THAT WHY NICKY TRIED TO KILL HERSELF?

THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT THAN THAT.

IT'S EVERYTHING--

THE BABY, HER FATHER, KIDS AT SCHOOL.

WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A RACIALLY MOTIVATED ATTEMPTED MURDER.

AND YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING?

WHY?

YOU GOT TO HELP US.

( siren wailing )

YEAH!

LET'S GO!

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS!

Crowd: YEAH!

ARE WE GOING TO SIT AROUND

AND BE KNOCKED OUT OF OUR OWN SCHOOL?

Crowd: NO!

( students shouting )

THERE THEY ARE!

LET'S GET THEM!

Man: BACK UP.

BACK UP.

BACK UP.

( horn honking and siren wailing )

NO ONE TRIED TO KILL ME.

LOOK, YOU AIN'T GOT TO COVER UP FOR NOBODY.

NOT AFTER WHAT THEY DID TO YOU.

I'M NOT.

I TRIED TO KILL MYSELF.

I TRIED TO DO THAT BECAUSE I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY.

IT'S OUR BABY.

( crowd murmuring )

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT TOGETHER

WHETHER YOU PEOPLE LIKE IT OR NOT.

SO IF YOU WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER

FIND A BETTER REASON.

M.C.: ALL RIGHT, YEAH!

SORRY I'M LATE, BUT DRIVING IN TONIGHT

I HEARD SOMETHING THAT JUST FREAKED ME OUT--

STEVIE WONDER WAS ARRESTED FOR MURDER.

( wild cheering and applause)

Martin Luther King Jr.: I STILL HAVE A DREAM.

IT IS A DREAM DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE AMERICAN DREAM.

I HAVE A DREAM THAT ONE DAY

THIS NATION WILL RISE UP

AND LIVE OUT THE TRUE MEANING OF ITS CREED:

"WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT

THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL."

I HAVE A DREAM

THAT ONE DAY ON THE RED HILLS OF GEORGIA

THE SONS OF FORMER SLAVES

AND THE SONS OF FORMER SLAVE OWNERS

WILL BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN TOGETHER

AT THE TABLE OF BROTHERHOOD.

I HAVE A DREAM.
