00:00:02,670 --> 00:00:03,471
EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS
"...the Buddy System"
CLOSED CAPTIONED

2
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:04,372
CHRIS ROCK:
As class president,

3
00:00:04,405 --> 00:00:06,607
I thought things
would change for me,

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,709
but I couldn't
have been more wrong.

5
00:00:10,211 --> 00:00:13,081
When you two are done,
see me in my office.

6
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:14,415
Who are you?

7
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:16,417
Mr. Edwards.
New principal.

8
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:27,561
You were fighting.

9
00:00:27,595 --> 00:00:29,263
Why?

10
00:00:29,297 --> 00:00:30,531
'Cause he hates
black people,

11
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:32,366
and I'm a
black person.

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,435
That's a lie.
I love Michael Jordan.

13
00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:36,370
I think Gary Coleman
is hysterical.

14
00:00:36,404 --> 00:00:38,506
And don't even get me
started about Billy Ocean.

15
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:41,142
"Caribbean Queen."

16
00:00:41,175 --> 00:00:44,078
That's a very good song.

17
00:00:44,112 --> 00:00:45,846
See?

18
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:47,448
Just because you
watch Soul Train

19
00:00:47,481 --> 00:00:49,283
don't make you
Don Cornelius.

20
00:00:49,317 --> 00:00:51,119
Mr. Edwards,
he has been picking on me

21
00:00:51,152 --> 00:00:52,520
since the first day
I came to this school.

22
00:00:52,553 --> 00:00:53,821
Is that true?

23
00:00:53,854 --> 00:00:56,190
Yeah.

24
00:00:56,224 --> 00:00:57,658
All right, Caruso, you can go.

25
00:00:59,427 --> 00:01:01,095
What?

26
00:01:01,129 --> 00:01:02,496
What?

27
00:01:02,530 --> 00:01:04,332
Before coming to Corleone,

28
00:01:04,365 --> 00:01:05,833
Principal Edwards
was on a self-imposed,

29
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:07,501
three-year vow of silence.

30
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:11,505
Keep your filthy hands
off of my school lunch program!

31
00:01:11,539 --> 00:01:12,740
You get the hell out...!

32
00:01:12,773 --> 00:01:14,208
Which he allegedly began

33
00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:16,177
two minutes after
cursing like a madman

34
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:18,479
and knocking out the teeth
of his former boss.

35
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:21,549
Have you ever
considered the possibility

36
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:23,617
this is your fault?

37
00:01:23,651 --> 00:01:25,653
That's what they said
to Rodney King.

38
00:01:25,686 --> 00:01:26,854
My fault?

39
00:01:26,887 --> 00:01:29,723
He's threatened by you, Chris.

40
00:01:29,757 --> 00:01:33,694
Your very presence
makes him doubt

41
00:01:33,727 --> 00:01:36,364
his ability

42
00:01:36,397 --> 00:01:37,665
to succeed.

43
00:01:37,698 --> 00:01:40,334
He always succeeds
in punching me in the face.

44
00:01:44,272 --> 00:01:48,409
He's using you as
a manifestation of his angst.

45
00:01:48,442 --> 00:01:51,579
Subsequently, he's trying
to quell his anxiety

46
00:01:51,612 --> 00:01:52,780
by conquering you,

47
00:01:52,813 --> 00:01:56,317
thereby conquering his fear.

48
00:01:56,350 --> 00:01:58,519
By punching me in the face?

49
00:01:58,552 --> 00:01:59,720
Exactly.

50
00:01:59,753 --> 00:02:02,756
So you want me
to just let him do it?

51
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:06,794
Have you thought about trying
to see things

52
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:09,263
from his point
of view?

53
00:02:09,297 --> 00:02:11,165
So you want me to punch him
in the face?

54
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,234
No.

55
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:14,735
Have you ever

56
00:02:14,768 --> 00:02:18,339
seen the film
The Defiant Ones?

57
00:02:18,372 --> 00:02:20,474
The Defiant Ones? No.

58
00:02:20,508 --> 00:02:21,809
What's that?

59
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:28,516
Two men are shackled together

60
00:02:28,549 --> 00:02:30,351
while trying
to escape from prison--

61
00:02:30,384 --> 00:02:35,256
one white, one black,
one educated, one...

62
00:02:35,289 --> 00:02:41,695
They learn they have to depend
on each other or perish.

63
00:02:41,729 --> 00:02:42,796
That's what I'm going
to do for you.

64
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:46,334
You're going to chain us
together and put us in jail?

65
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:48,902
Yeah! Figuratively.

66
00:02:48,936 --> 00:02:52,273
I'm taking some students
on a field trip tomorrow.

67
00:02:52,306 --> 00:02:53,874
You and Caruso are going
to come along.

68
00:02:53,907 --> 00:02:55,676
Have your mother sign this.

69
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:57,811
To help you
and Caruso

70
00:02:57,845 --> 00:02:59,647
learn to depend on each other,

71
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,616
I'm going to employ
the buddy system.

72
00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:03,617
The buddy system?

73
00:03:03,651 --> 00:03:09,723
Chris, you and Caruso
are going to be buddies.

74
00:03:09,757 --> 00:03:11,692
Just like the Crips
and the Bloods.

* Oh... make it funky now!

77
00:03:44,658 --> 00:03:47,861
While I was preparing to see
Caruso in a whole new way,

78
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:49,763
Tonya was working
on a new look, too.

79
00:03:49,797 --> 00:03:51,765
Mom...

80
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:52,900
can I borrow
your clip-on

81
00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:54,902
hoop earrings?
No.

82
00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:55,969
But all my friends
are wearing

83
00:03:56,003 --> 00:03:57,571
pink shirts
and hoop earrings.

84
00:03:57,605 --> 00:03:59,307
I'm not your
friends' mother.

85
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:01,375
I don't know, Mom.
Earrings may draw away

86
00:04:01,409 --> 00:04:02,676
attention from her
big, old head.

87
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:03,811
You got a big head.

88
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:04,612
You're head-mo-knotty,

89
00:04:04,645 --> 00:04:05,513
got more head than
you got body.

90
00:04:05,546 --> 00:04:07,815
Your head so big, your
hat got two floors.

91
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:11,018
Your head so big, you
got to put on your
shirts feet first.

92
00:04:11,051 --> 00:04:12,853
Your head so big,
it has a moon.

93
00:04:12,886 --> 00:04:14,788
Eh, hey-- all right.

94
00:04:14,822 --> 00:04:16,056
Enough now.

95
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:17,958
Tonya, why don't you
wear your flower earrings?

96
00:04:17,991 --> 00:04:19,960
You're too young
for hoops, that's
women's jewelry.

97
00:04:19,993 --> 00:04:21,429
And I'm not going
to have people

98
00:04:21,462 --> 00:04:22,663
looking at my
daughter like that.

99
00:04:22,696 --> 00:04:24,498
Like what?
Like this.

100
00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:30,771
You see the earrings
on that girl?

101
00:04:31,872 --> 00:04:33,841
Everybody else has them.

102
00:04:33,874 --> 00:04:35,909
Well, if everybody else
got a butt whooping,

103
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:37,345
would you want one, too?

104
00:04:37,378 --> 00:04:38,979
JULIUS:
Hey.

105
00:04:39,012 --> 00:04:41,449
Where's Chris?
ROCHELLE:
He left early.

106
00:04:41,482 --> 00:04:43,884
He had to go on
a field trip.
Hey, Dad.

107
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:45,686
Check it out.
I got a hundred

108
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:47,321
on my spelling test.
All right.

109
00:04:47,355 --> 00:04:48,489
My man!

110
00:04:48,522 --> 00:04:49,790
I was thinking...

111
00:04:49,823 --> 00:04:52,493
Could I get a hockey
jersey since I got

112
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:53,961
a hundred on my test?
You're supposed to get

113
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:56,096
a hundred, you don't get
a prize for doing well.

114
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:58,065
My father never
rewarded good behavior.

115
00:04:58,098 --> 00:04:59,733
Dad, I cleaned out the tub.

116
00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:02,069
You're supposed to clean
the tub, it's your dirt ring.

117
00:05:02,102 --> 00:05:04,638
Hey, Dad. I fixed the heater.

118
00:05:04,672 --> 00:05:05,873
You're supposed
to fix the heater.

119
00:05:05,906 --> 00:05:07,641
You're the one
who likes it warm.

120
00:05:07,675 --> 00:05:09,977
Hey, Dad, I slaughtered a pig.

121
00:05:11,679 --> 00:05:13,013
You're supposed
to slaughter a pig.

122
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:14,815
You're the one that likes bacon.

123
00:05:14,848 --> 00:05:16,784
Julius, it's just
a hockey jersey.

124
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:18,519
Mom, it's not just
a hockey jersey.

125
00:05:18,552 --> 00:05:20,421
It's Wayne Gretzky.

126
00:05:20,454 --> 00:05:22,856
He's the best player
in the league.

127
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:24,658
Gretzky, huh?

128
00:05:24,692 --> 00:05:25,826
I'll think about it.

129
00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:28,962
Okay, time to go to school.

130
00:05:34,602 --> 00:05:36,136
ROCHELLE:
Tonya?

131
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:38,372
Coming.

132
00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:41,642
Geez, Caruso?

133
00:05:41,675 --> 00:05:42,976
Why didn't he just
kick you into traffic?

134
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:44,478
I don't know.

135
00:05:44,512 --> 00:05:46,146
But I'm going to give it a shot.

136
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:47,815
I mean, it can't get any worse.

137
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:49,783
That's what people said
while they were

138
00:05:49,817 --> 00:05:51,519
boarding the Amistad.
So who's your buddy?

139
00:05:52,553 --> 00:05:53,987
Hey, Greg, you ready?

140
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:56,390
Sure am.
I'll be right there.

141
00:05:57,425 --> 00:05:58,692
You got a girl?

142
00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:00,994
Not just a girl, but a
girl who's interested

143
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:02,830
in the evolution
of species.

144
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,031
I am so in there.

145
00:06:08,035 --> 00:06:09,470
Come on, Bubbles.

146
00:06:10,904 --> 00:06:12,573
Right now, I'd feel safer
at the Neverland Ranch.

147
00:06:13,741 --> 00:06:14,842
* Risky. *
Hey, Julius.

148
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:15,909
You want some
tap shoes?

149
00:06:15,943 --> 00:06:16,944
Tap shoes?

150
00:06:16,977 --> 00:06:18,612
Yeah. I got men's.

151
00:06:18,646 --> 00:06:22,015
I got women's and
children's, huh?

152
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:24,952
You get your whole
family some tap shoes.

153
00:06:24,985 --> 00:06:27,655
My father always thought
if you wore tap shoes,

154
00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:28,756
you had to tap dance.

155
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:30,958
We're friends of
the deceased.
Oh, right this way.

156
00:06:37,698 --> 00:06:39,967
You can't make
no money tap dancing.

157
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,470
What I really need
is a hockey jersey for Drew.

158
00:06:42,503 --> 00:06:43,336
Wayne Gretzky.

159
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:46,740
Hockey? What kind
of kids you raising?

160
00:06:46,774 --> 00:06:47,875
Do you have one
or not?

161
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:49,910
All right, all right.

162
00:06:49,943 --> 00:06:51,479
Hockey, uh...

163
00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:53,614
I'm sorry, I-I don't
have anything,

164
00:06:53,647 --> 00:06:55,616
but if I find something,
I'll let you know.

165
00:06:55,649 --> 00:06:56,884
All right, brother.

166
00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:58,952
All right. Okay.
Take care.

167
00:06:59,987 --> 00:07:02,456
Hockey? Them kids in trouble.

168
00:07:02,490 --> 00:07:04,592
My father was dealing
with the bad news

169
00:07:04,625 --> 00:07:06,694
while my mother
was getting great news.

170
00:07:06,727 --> 00:07:07,995
What?

171
00:07:08,028 --> 00:07:09,897
The guy I'm seeing
has kidney stones!

172
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:12,032
Vanessa, that's good news?

173
00:07:12,065 --> 00:07:14,234
We got tickets
to see Patti LaBelle.
Uh-huh.

174
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:16,236
And he can't go!

175
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:17,738
Listening to Patti LaBelle

176
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:19,973
could make my mother feel good,
no matter what.

177
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:22,910
Come on, pepito.

178
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:25,879
I told you, man,
I didn't do it.

179
00:07:25,913 --> 00:07:29,182
¿Cual es tu último voluntad?

180
00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:30,951
Can you play "New Attitude"?

181
00:07:30,984 --> 00:07:32,920
Yes! Wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait.

182
00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:34,655
I gotta figure out
what I'm gonna wear.

183
00:07:34,688 --> 00:07:36,023
Me, too. Oh, girl,
I'll see you later.

184
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:37,157
Wh-wh-wh...
Ooh.

185
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:39,026
Wear that blue dress.
I like you in the blue dress.

186
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:40,628
Yeah, girl.

187
00:07:40,661 --> 00:07:42,763
Patti. Patti. Patti.

188
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:45,966
* I'm in control,
my worries are few *

189
00:07:45,999 --> 00:07:49,069
* Know where I'm going,
and I know what to do *

190
00:07:49,102 --> 00:07:50,971
* Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

191
00:07:51,004 --> 00:07:52,172
* I've got a...

192
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:55,008
Oww. * New attitude.

193
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:58,979
EDWARDS:
All right, class, listen up.

194
00:07:59,012 --> 00:08:01,882
I reiterate: we are
on the buddy system today.

195
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:06,186
So, you are responsible
for your buddy.

196
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:09,723
No matter what happens,
stay together.

197
00:08:09,757 --> 00:08:11,224
We have about two hours,

198
00:08:11,258 --> 00:08:13,561
so you have plenty of time
to see all the exhibits.

199
00:08:14,595 --> 00:08:15,829
Is he kidding?

200
00:08:15,863 --> 00:08:18,065
You can come here
every weekend for years

201
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:19,900
and still barely
scratch the surface.

202
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,002
After 20 years,
Greg still hasn't

203
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:23,971
made it out
of the bone exhibit.

204
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:26,006
Now remember...

205
00:08:27,274 --> 00:08:29,309
...the only way you're
going to get along

206
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:32,212
with Caruso is if
you understand

207
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:34,682
why he hates you.

208
00:08:34,715 --> 00:08:35,883
He needs your help.

209
00:08:35,916 --> 00:08:37,751
But if I'm helping him,
who's gonna help me?

210
00:08:39,787 --> 00:08:41,955
You're helping yourself.

211
00:08:43,023 --> 00:08:45,092
Spoken like a true white man.

212
00:08:46,293 --> 00:08:47,327
CHRIS:
Come on, man,
we've gotta go

213
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,762
before the bus
leaves us.

214
00:08:48,796 --> 00:08:50,097
Listen, Bohannon, relax.

215
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:51,999
The bus isn't going
to leave without us.

216
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:54,101
The whole class
is waiting on us.

217
00:08:54,134 --> 00:08:55,869
I thought you people
were used to being late.

218
00:08:55,903 --> 00:08:57,738
Come on, man,
we've got to go.

219
00:08:57,771 --> 00:09:00,708
All you've been doing
since we got here is
complaining.

220
00:09:00,741 --> 00:09:03,143
Well, I haven't
really seen anything.

221
00:09:03,176 --> 00:09:04,812
All I've seen
is you eating

222
00:09:04,845 --> 00:09:06,246
in the cafeteria
for over an hour.

223
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:07,848
All right, you know what?

224
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:09,650
I'm sorry. I'll just
be another minute.

225
00:09:09,683 --> 00:09:12,085
Really?
Maybe Principal Edwards
was right.

226
00:09:12,119 --> 00:09:14,054
Caruso might make a change.

227
00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:15,923
Yeah, just do me
a favor, hold this.

228
00:09:18,058 --> 00:09:20,293
Now, go wait
by the door.
Okay.

229
00:09:20,327 --> 00:09:22,896
WOMAN :
Tim, do you need
cashier help or security?

230
00:09:24,865 --> 00:09:27,668
The buddy system
was failing miserably,

231
00:09:27,701 --> 00:09:30,337
but the black decoy
system was working great.

232
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:33,040
(woman on radio talks
indistinctly)

233
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:40,781
Usually Greg would've
noticed if I was gone,

234
00:09:40,814 --> 00:09:42,382
but if you put a girl
in front of him,

235
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:44,051
he didn't see anything else.

236
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:46,319
Hurry up, I want
to get on this bus.

237
00:09:46,353 --> 00:09:48,355
Don't worry, I'm sure
they saved you a
spot in the back.

238
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:51,591
Which one's ours?

239
00:09:57,898 --> 00:09:58,999
I think it's that one.

240
00:10:01,869 --> 00:10:04,805
I think I should've been
buddies with the bus driver.

241
00:10:08,876 --> 00:10:10,744
CARUSO:
How come you didn't tell me
the bus was leaving?

242
00:10:10,778 --> 00:10:13,647
When I said "Let's hurry up
before the bus leaves us,"

243
00:10:13,681 --> 00:10:15,783
what bus did you think
I was talking about?

244
00:10:15,816 --> 00:10:19,152
Sorry, I couldn't understand
all your crazy jive talk.

245
00:10:19,186 --> 00:10:22,055
Okay, we can catch
the next train,

246
00:10:22,089 --> 00:10:23,657
and we'll be back in no time.

247
00:10:23,691 --> 00:10:25,759
I spent all my
money on food.

248
00:10:25,793 --> 00:10:27,861
Okay, fine, I think
I have enough money

249
00:10:27,895 --> 00:10:29,863
to get two tokens.
So let's go.

250
00:10:29,897 --> 00:10:31,098
Who put you in charge?

251
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:33,033
I'm just trying to get
us back to school.

252
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:34,267
Just let me make
the decisions.

253
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:35,502
Why should I do that?

254
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:39,006
How many times do
I have to punch you
before you get a clue?

255
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:40,173
Don't you watch the movies?

256
00:10:40,207 --> 00:10:42,676
Gene Wilder made all the
decisions in Silver Streak.

257
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:44,111
Richard Pryor
just followed orders.

258
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,847
So... what do
you want to do?

259
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,216
Let's take the next train.

260
00:10:49,249 --> 00:10:51,284
To get back to Brooklyn,

261
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:54,955
it felt like we went around
the entire city.

262
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:58,291
We went through Chinatown...

263
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:01,829
The meatpacking district...

264
00:11:01,862 --> 00:11:04,031
We even went through
theatre district.

265
00:11:04,064 --> 00:11:05,899
The only place
we didn't go through

266
00:11:05,933 --> 00:11:06,967
was our school district.

267
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,903
While me and Caruso were lost,

268
00:11:09,937 --> 00:11:12,740
Tonya was trying
not to get found out.

269
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,887
Where are you going?

270
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,256
I'm going to see
Patti LaBelle.

271
00:11:31,158 --> 00:11:32,860
How do I look?

272
00:11:32,893 --> 00:11:35,095
You look like one of those
ladies from those old movies.

273
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:36,329
Who asked you?

274
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:37,998
Well, I think
you look better

275
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:40,267
in the brown skirt,
the beige stripped shirt.

276
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:41,068
Brush your hair back

277
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:42,936
and put on
your gold hoop earrings.

278
00:11:42,970 --> 00:11:44,371
He's good.

279
00:11:44,404 --> 00:11:46,339
Oh, and can I get some
potato chips before dinner?

280
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:47,274
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

281
00:12:04,992 --> 00:12:07,027
Tonya knew she was
going to be caught.

282
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:08,996
Just didn't know when.

283
00:12:09,029 --> 00:12:10,363
Did you take my earrings?

284
00:12:10,397 --> 00:12:11,999
What earrings?

285
00:12:12,032 --> 00:12:14,367
Okay, here's how this
works, Tonya.

286
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:17,470
You can keep lying, or you can
tell me you took my earrings.

287
00:12:17,504 --> 00:12:19,206
You decide.

288
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:21,208
You promise you won't yell?

289
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,276
I won't yell.

290
00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:24,812
I took you earrings...

291
00:12:24,845 --> 00:12:26,780
and I lost one.

292
00:12:26,814 --> 00:12:31,251
:
Didn't I tell you not
to touch my earrings?!

293
00:12:31,284 --> 00:12:32,519
You promised you wouldn't yell.

294
00:12:32,552 --> 00:12:34,154
I've been falling for that one
for years.

295
00:12:34,187 --> 00:12:37,791
Do you know how valuable
those earrings were, Tonya?!

296
00:12:37,825 --> 00:12:39,292
Huh?!

297
00:12:39,326 --> 00:12:41,361
Whenever my mother was ready
to kill one of us,

298
00:12:41,394 --> 00:12:43,964
she'd always count down
from five.

299
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:45,132
Five...

300
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:46,967
* Huh!

301
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,035
...four...

302
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:50,403
...three...

303
00:12:51,338 --> 00:12:52,339
...two...

304
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:54,374
* Uh!

305
00:12:54,407 --> 00:12:56,143
...one.

306
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:57,410
That's it.

307
00:12:57,444 --> 00:13:01,414
I'm going to let your
father handle this.

308
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:05,986
After taking a tour
of the city,

309
00:13:06,019 --> 00:13:08,155
I decided it was time
to take charge.

310
00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:09,322
Where are
you going?

311
00:13:09,356 --> 00:13:11,158
I'm going
to call my mother.

312
00:13:11,191 --> 00:13:13,426
I'm making the decisions
around here.
Not for me.

313
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:14,995
You can do whatever you feel

314
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:16,329
like doing,
but I'm calling my mother.

315
00:13:16,363 --> 00:13:17,564
Well, give me a quarter,
too. I'll call my mom.

316
00:13:17,597 --> 00:13:20,067
No. I only have
one quarter.

317
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:21,268
Ah, don't
worry about it.

318
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:23,470
I'll have my mother
call your mother.

319
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:31,311
Mom. Yeah,
it's Joey.

320
00:13:31,344 --> 00:13:34,281
All right, if the
school calls and
says I'm lost,

321
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:35,415
I'm not.

322
00:13:35,448 --> 00:13:36,884
Nah, I'm okay.

323
00:13:36,917 --> 00:13:38,418
I'm with Chris.

324
00:13:38,451 --> 00:13:39,419
Yeah, the black one.

325
00:13:39,452 --> 00:13:41,321
Strange realizing

326
00:13:41,354 --> 00:13:43,423
that Caruso had a loving family
at home.

327
00:13:43,456 --> 00:13:45,425
A loving racist family.

328
00:13:45,458 --> 00:13:46,459
All right.
Love you. Bye.

329
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:49,562
Hey, you were supposed
to tell her to call my mom.

330
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:50,931
Forgot. Sorry.

331
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:52,165
Why don't you call collect?

332
00:13:52,199 --> 00:13:53,867
That's what the guys
in prison do.

333
00:13:53,901 --> 00:13:56,236
Move!

334
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,911
Hello?

335
00:14:03,944 --> 00:14:06,379
WOMAN:
I have a collect call from...

336
00:14:06,413 --> 00:14:08,848
Ooh! Ooh.

337
00:14:12,252 --> 00:14:14,354
My dad couldn't always
give us what we wanted,

338
00:14:14,387 --> 00:14:16,389
but he would always
do his best.

339
00:14:16,423 --> 00:14:19,426
Hey, Dad.
I'm really proud of you for
getting 100 on that test,

340
00:14:19,459 --> 00:14:22,963
so here you go.

341
00:14:22,996 --> 00:14:24,397
Yeah!

342
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:26,233
Wow.

343
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:28,401
Huh

344
00:14:28,435 --> 00:14:30,570
Drew thought
about saying this...

345
00:14:30,603 --> 00:14:32,105
Gritsky?

346
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:33,406
It's not Gritsky.

347
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,508
It's Gretzky with an "E"!

348
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:37,210
I scored 100
on my spelling test.

349
00:14:37,244 --> 00:14:38,245
I can't wear this!

350
00:14:38,278 --> 00:14:40,680
You got that big old head,
and you can't even spell

351
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,182
Gretzky.

352
00:14:42,215 --> 00:14:44,117
Maybe you should take
my spelling classes.

353
00:14:44,151 --> 00:14:45,185
I ain't wearing this.

354
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:47,554
But if he did,
here's what would've happened.

355
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:48,388
What's the story?

356
00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:49,622
Apparently,
the kid loves hockey.

357
00:14:49,656 --> 00:14:52,659
Father brings home a jersey
that says Gritsky with an "I"

358
00:14:52,692 --> 00:14:54,394
instead of Gretzky with an "E."

359
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:55,695
Son mouths off,
dad loses it,

360
00:14:55,728 --> 00:14:57,430
shoves the jersey
down the kid's throat.

361
00:14:57,464 --> 00:14:58,598
Is that the jersey?

362
00:14:58,631 --> 00:14:59,432
It's all we
could find.

363
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:01,501
Good thing he didn't
ask for skates.

364
00:15:01,534 --> 00:15:03,136
So?

365
00:15:03,170 --> 00:15:04,304
It's cool.

366
00:15:04,337 --> 00:15:05,305
Thanks, Dad.
Oh.

367
00:15:05,338 --> 00:15:08,175
The next year,
Drew got a Yankees jersey

368
00:15:08,208 --> 00:15:10,010
that said Mezzie Mackson.

369
00:15:10,043 --> 00:15:13,080
You better talk
to your daughter
before I kill her.

370
00:15:13,113 --> 00:15:14,314
Why

371
00:15:14,347 --> 00:15:16,416
Go ask her.

372
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:19,686
All that could save Tonya
was a sad look.

373
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:26,559
What's going on?

374
00:15:28,095 --> 00:15:29,496
Mom's really mad at me.

375
00:15:30,663 --> 00:15:32,365
Tell me what happened.

376
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:35,502
I just wanted to wear
earrings like my friends,

377
00:15:35,535 --> 00:15:37,537
so I took Mom's
gold hoops,

378
00:15:37,570 --> 00:15:39,172
and I lost one.

379
00:15:39,206 --> 00:15:40,373
Oh, Tonya.

380
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:43,376
Do you think maybe I could
save up and buy another pair?

381
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:45,445
It's not about the money, Tonya.

382
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:47,580
I gave your mother
those earrings.

383
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:50,250
You can't replace them.

384
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,685
What are you going to do?

385
00:15:52,719 --> 00:15:54,287
My father could've
spanked Tonya,

386
00:15:54,321 --> 00:15:56,223
or grounded her
until she was grown,

387
00:15:56,256 --> 00:15:57,457
but he said something

388
00:15:57,490 --> 00:15:59,759
that made her feel worse
than all of that.

389
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,394
I'm really disappointed
in you.

390
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:06,466
Father, I have brought
disgrace to myself

391
00:16:06,499 --> 00:16:08,668
and to our family.

392
00:16:08,701 --> 00:16:10,437
Tonya, no!

393
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:11,571
Leave me now, Father.

394
00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:12,672
I must whup myself

395
00:16:12,705 --> 00:16:16,009
until you can find it
in your heart to forgive me.

396
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:21,581
I'm sorry.

397
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:23,150
Did you tell your mother that?

398
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:24,484
Will you come with me?

399
00:16:24,517 --> 00:16:26,419
Did I take the earrings?

400
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:35,495
Good luck.

401
00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:40,433
Are you sure
we're on the right train?

402
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:42,102
You're in charge.
You tell me.

403
00:16:42,135 --> 00:16:44,471
Look, nobody told you to wait
for me in the first place.

404
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:46,273
We're on the buddy
system, which means

405
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:48,341
I'm supposed
to stay with you
no matter what.

406
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:49,742
You think I
want to be here?

407
00:16:49,776 --> 00:16:52,179
Shoot, if I had done
what I wanted to do,

408
00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:53,513
you'd be sitting
here by yourself.

409
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:54,614
Well, go then.

410
00:16:54,647 --> 00:16:56,716
Fine.

411
00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:59,052
(indistinct male voice
over intercom)

412
00:17:06,126 --> 00:17:08,228
So long, Caruso.

413
00:17:08,261 --> 00:17:10,597
Enjoy talking civil rights
with your new friends.

414
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:16,303
Even though Caruso had gotten
on my last nerve,

415
00:17:16,336 --> 00:17:18,571
I was afraid
I might be his last chance.

416
00:17:18,605 --> 00:17:21,708
(indistinct male voice
over intercom)

417
00:17:21,741 --> 00:17:25,245
So, you take that
to Brooklyn Beach stop,

418
00:17:25,278 --> 00:17:27,347
and you're right there,
all right?

419
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:28,648
Hey.

420
00:17:28,681 --> 00:17:30,550
How'd you get
here before me?

421
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:31,818
I took the express train.

422
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:33,320
This is the local train.

423
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:34,287
Hey, man,

424
00:17:34,321 --> 00:17:36,456
why'd you leave your
boy out here like that?

425
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:37,624
We could've hurt him.

426
00:17:37,657 --> 00:17:38,725
I came back to get him.

427
00:17:38,758 --> 00:17:40,393
What you want
me to do?

428
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:41,561
Nah.

429
00:17:41,594 --> 00:17:42,529
Leave him alone.

430
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:45,298
If he gets hurt,
I think it effects my grade.

431
00:17:45,332 --> 00:17:48,468
Hey, man, in the
buddy system,

432
00:17:48,501 --> 00:17:50,470
you never leave
your buddy.

433
00:17:50,503 --> 00:17:51,538
No matter what.

434
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:53,340
You understand?

435
00:17:53,373 --> 00:17:55,308
Yeah.
Good.

436
00:17:55,342 --> 00:17:56,543
Now give me your wallet.

437
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:58,111
I don't have any money in it.

438
00:17:58,145 --> 00:17:59,812
Did I ask you
all of that?

439
00:17:59,846 --> 00:18:02,615
I guess this is what
Martin Luther King fought for--

440
00:18:02,649 --> 00:18:05,885
black and white bullies side
by side ready to kick my ass.

441
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:09,088
Hey... hold
on to that.

442
00:18:12,925 --> 00:18:14,026
What now?

443
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:16,763
Well, we switch platforms
and then head back downtown.

444
00:18:16,796 --> 00:18:19,199
All right, let's go.
Oh, wait.

445
00:18:19,232 --> 00:18:20,600
So you really
came back for me?

446
00:18:20,633 --> 00:18:21,601
Yeah. Why?

447
00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:23,436
Because I would
have left you.

448
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:25,238
For real?
Yeah, man.
You're dumb.

449
00:18:25,272 --> 00:18:26,739
Those guys could
have killed you.

450
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:28,741
All right. All right,
you done?

451
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:29,909
Yeah.

452
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:32,879
Let's go home, Muddy.

453
00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:35,648
Look, I don't know what
you have against me.

454
00:18:35,682 --> 00:18:37,584
Hey, I don't
even know you.

455
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:39,586
So, I was wondering maybe...

456
00:18:39,619 --> 00:18:41,521
You know, maybe
we can be cool.

457
00:18:41,554 --> 00:18:43,423
You don't even
have to like me.

458
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:45,292
Yeah, I know what you mean.

459
00:18:45,325 --> 00:18:46,726
Tell you what.
What?

460
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:49,462
If you can run faster
than I can throw,

461
00:18:49,496 --> 00:18:51,731
I won't hit you
with this battery.

462
00:18:56,936 --> 00:18:59,339
* Why can't we be friends?

463
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:00,807
* Why can't we be friends?

464
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,509
Hey, man, where
have you been?

465
00:19:02,542 --> 00:19:04,177
We missed the bus.

466
00:19:04,211 --> 00:19:05,478
Was anyone looking for us?

467
00:19:05,512 --> 00:19:06,446
No.

468
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,481
So, how are things going
with you and Jennifer?

469
00:19:08,515 --> 00:19:11,218
It was going great until
we got into a debate

470
00:19:11,251 --> 00:19:13,686
about whether humans or climatic
change caused the demise

471
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,222
of the Pleistocene megafauna.

472
00:19:15,255 --> 00:19:16,389
Idiot!

473
00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:18,791
* I really 'membered you,
when you drink my wine... *

474
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:19,959
It didn't
end well.

475
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:21,461
Same as Bobby and Whitney.

476
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:23,196
* Why can't we be friends?

477
00:19:23,230 --> 00:19:24,431
So how did it go?

478
00:19:24,464 --> 00:19:26,499
Huh?

479
00:19:26,533 --> 00:19:27,634
Oh, the buddy system?

480
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:29,469
Oh, it was all right.

481
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:30,737
Really?

482
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:32,572
Even after I left
you at the museum.

483
00:19:32,605 --> 00:19:34,641
* I seen you walkin' down
in Chinatown... *
Wait.

484
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:36,609
You left me and Caruso
alone on purpose?

485
00:19:36,643 --> 00:19:39,279
* I called you but
you could not look around... *

486
00:19:39,312 --> 00:19:40,813
You can't do that.
I mean, we're kids.

487
00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:42,215
Anything could've happened.

488
00:19:42,249 --> 00:19:44,751
I had my eyes on
you the whole time.

489
00:19:44,784 --> 00:19:45,752
What?

490
00:19:45,785 --> 00:19:46,886
That's right.

491
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:49,789
From Chinatown through the
Bronx down through Harlem.

492
00:19:49,822 --> 00:19:51,424
Oh. Here's your wallet.

493
00:19:51,458 --> 00:19:53,960
* I bring my money
to the welfare line... *

494
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:56,563
Okay, I-I really
don't understand.

495
00:19:56,596 --> 00:19:57,730
What was the point?

496
00:19:57,764 --> 00:19:59,699
Caruso still hates me.

497
00:19:59,732 --> 00:20:00,867
What about you?

498
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:02,469
Did you learn
anything today?

499
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:07,340
Well, I learned that
Caruso didn't like me yesterday,

500
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:08,875
he doesn't like me today,

501
00:20:08,908 --> 00:20:11,278
and he's not going
to like me tomorrow.

502
00:20:11,311 --> 00:20:12,712
Yes, all that's true.

503
00:20:12,745 --> 00:20:13,846
But you're forgetting

504
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,449
you learned something else
today much more important.

505
00:20:16,483 --> 00:20:17,617
What?

506
00:20:17,650 --> 00:20:19,552
You learned that
I was wrong.

507
00:20:19,586 --> 00:20:21,788
* Everybody hates Chris.

508
