Please, everyone,

00:00:03,237 --> 00:00:05,904

00:00:07,808 --> 00:00:10,109
and never drive if
You've been drinking.

thank you.

That was another
Controversial message

From station manager
Arthur carlson here at wkrp,

00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,138

00:00:32,033 --> 00:00:34,733
And now let's have a
Little miss candi staton.
12
00:00:42,343 --> 00:00:44,410
- how you doin', cora?
- can I talk?
13
00:00:44,478 --> 00:00:46,358
- sure, yeah.
- should I whisper?
14
00:00:46,414 --> 00:00:49,348
- no, I got a record playing.
- oh, good.
15
00:00:49,417 --> 00:00:51,216
- sit down.
- thank you.
16
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:54,286
How about I sneak in a little
Ella for you tonight, huh?
17
00:00:54,355 --> 00:00:56,888
- that'd be nice.
- bella? Ella? Della?
18
00:00:56,957 --> 00:00:58,757
- either one.
- you got it.
19
00:01:00,794 --> 00:01:02,639
Venus, can I ask you something?
20
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:05,431
- yeah, sure.
- are you a high-school
Graduate?
21
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:06,932
College graduate.
22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,878
Carlisle state
Teachers' college.
23
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:11,803
What would you have done
If you hadn't finished school?
24
00:01:11,872 --> 00:01:15,274
Oh, I don't know. You sure don't need
To be a college graduate to do this job.
25
00:01:15,342 --> 00:01:17,842
Yeah.
26
00:01:19,346 --> 00:01:21,391
What's wrong, cora? You
Look a little down tonight.
27
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:23,915
Yeah, I guess I do.
28
00:01:23,984 --> 00:01:27,018
Oh, venus, I got
Trouble at home.
29
00:01:27,088 --> 00:01:30,289
- what's wrong, cora?
- my little boy, arnold...
30
00:01:30,357 --> 00:01:33,959
He's just 16, and
Now he's telling me...
31
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:36,562
He says he's gonna quit school.
32
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:40,199
- just like that. He told me yesterday.
- sorry, cora.
33
00:01:40,267 --> 00:01:43,935
Venus, I don't work like I do
For him to do something like that.
34
00:01:44,004 --> 00:01:47,639
I was for seven years
Now saving for his college,
35
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:50,542
And now he's not even gonna
Graduate from high school?
36
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,491
You know how
Kids are these days.
37
00:01:52,546 --> 00:01:54,324
They need time to
Find themselves.
38
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:56,715
"Find themselves"?
39
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:59,351
I can find him.
40
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:01,520
Nobody can. He's always gone,
41
00:02:01,589 --> 00:02:05,190
Running the streets with his
Friends, messing all kinds of stuff.
42
00:02:05,259 --> 00:02:07,219
You tell him if he
Doesn't shape up,
43
00:02:07,261 --> 00:02:09,428
I'll come over and
Go upside his head.
44
00:02:09,497 --> 00:02:11,597
I wish you would do that.
45
00:02:11,665 --> 00:02:13,210
Yeah, and I would too.
46
00:02:13,234 --> 00:02:15,278
Yeah, it'd be good for him
To talk to somebody like you,
47
00:02:15,302 --> 00:02:17,347
A person who's made
Something of themselves.
48
00:02:17,371 --> 00:02:18,881
Send him up here.
I'll talk to him.
49
00:02:18,905 --> 00:02:20,717
- oh, venus, would you?
- sure.
50
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:23,308
- what time should I tell him?
- "Time"? Oh, I don't know.
51
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:25,144
How about 4:00 tomorrow?
52
00:02:25,212 --> 00:02:26,956
I'll make sure he's here.
53
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,159
- and thank you
So much, venus.
- no problem.
54
00:02:29,183 --> 00:02:32,028
- well, I guess I'd better be
Getting back to work.
- okay.
55
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:34,319
Just a big, dumb
Fool. That's all he is.
56
00:02:34,388 --> 00:02:36,988
- just a big, dumb fool.
- yeah.
57
00:02:37,057 --> 00:02:38,490
How big?
58
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:45,297
Oh, I don't know. He's
About your height.
59
00:02:45,366 --> 00:02:47,432
Kind of skinny like me, huh?
60
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:49,635
No, uh-uh.
61
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:52,037
He, uh... He looks like,
62
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:54,439
You know, a regular man.
63
00:02:56,544 --> 00:02:58,510
"A regular man" at 16?
64
00:02:58,579 --> 00:03:00,145
Uh-huh.
65
00:03:00,214 --> 00:03:03,315
He's bad too. Real bad.
66
00:03:03,384 --> 00:03:07,286
How do you mean, "Bad"? Like "He's
A bad little boy," or "That cat's bad."
67
00:03:07,354 --> 00:03:09,120
No.
68
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:11,823
Bad.
69
00:03:11,892 --> 00:03:14,025
Right.
70
00:03:14,094 --> 00:03:16,928
But watch out. He
Can be real tricky.
71
00:03:16,997 --> 00:03:19,531
Oh, tricky, huh? Big, tricky.
72
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,567
- and bad.
- bad!
73
00:03:21,635 --> 00:03:24,002
Big, tricky, and bad.
74
00:03:24,071 --> 00:03:26,771
Well, thank you, venus.
Thank you so much.
75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,041
Hey, no problem. My pleasure.
76
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:33,011
Hey, no problem
At all I can't handle.
77
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,214
I'm from the streets.
I'm used to handling
78
00:03:35,282 --> 00:03:38,217

Hi.
94
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,198
H-hi, venus.
95
00:05:00,267 --> 00:05:02,133
Hi.
96
00:05:02,202 --> 00:05:08,907
Uh... Um...

Yeah, uh, j-jennifer.
98
00:05:11,278 --> 00:05:14,613
Uh, I-I read through these
Papers just like you asked.
99
00:05:14,681 --> 00:05:17,982
Mr. Carlson, you were supposed
To sign them, not read them.
100
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:19,584
Oh.
101
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:22,086
Okay. Thank you.
102
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:24,756
- how's it going, venus?
- fine, a.C. And you?
103
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:28,660
Oh, it's awfully busy. It
Just never seems to stop.
104
00:05:28,729 --> 00:05:31,296
Yes, sir.
105
00:05:31,364 --> 00:05:34,243
Ah. Well, I didn't know you were gonna
Bring all your friends down with you.
106
00:05:34,267 --> 00:05:36,546
I didn't know I was gonna
Have to come up here either.
107
00:05:36,570 --> 00:05:39,805
- well, nobody forced you to.
- that's right.
108
00:05:39,873 --> 00:05:42,373
You want to have your buddies
Wait for you downstairs?
109
00:05:46,747 --> 00:05:48,780
I'll be down in
About five minutes.
110
00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:53,618
- let's go back here.
- okay.
111
00:06:10,471 --> 00:06:13,104
- they're signed.
- your name?
112
00:06:13,173 --> 00:06:14,806
Yeah.
113
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:19,444
Ah, let's see.
Where can we talk?
114
00:06:19,513 --> 00:06:20,957
Don't you have your own office?
115
00:06:20,981 --> 00:06:22,781
No, I don't, arnold.
116
00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:25,227
Yes. Arnold, this is miss bailey
Quarters. Bailey, this is arnold.
117
00:06:25,251 --> 00:06:27,418
- well, hello, arnold.
- hi.
118
00:06:27,488 --> 00:06:30,188
Venus told me all about you.
119
00:06:30,256 --> 00:06:32,190
I know that sometimes
120
00:06:32,258 --> 00:06:34,392
It may not seem like
It's worth the effort,
121
00:06:34,461 --> 00:06:38,129
But I think that school
Pays off in the long run,
122
00:06:38,198 --> 00:06:41,533
No matter what you
Decide to do later on.
123
00:06:43,303 --> 00:06:45,103
Of course, I could be wrong.
124
00:06:45,171 --> 00:06:47,372
And I probably am.
125
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,452
- thank you, bailey.
- you're welcome, venus.
126
00:06:49,476 --> 00:06:52,844
Well, I just guess I'll gather up
My work here and blow out of here
127
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:55,747
So you two can just
Talk by yourselves.
128
00:06:55,816 --> 00:06:57,716
- thank you.
- excuse me.
129
00:06:57,784 --> 00:06:59,818
Let's go over here, all right?
130
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:05,557
- you want to sit down?
- no,
131
00:07:05,626 --> 00:07:07,759
I don't think so.
132
00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:10,868
You're a real tough guy, aren't
You? A real bad dude, right?
133
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:15,099
Well, well, well.
What have we here?
134
00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:16,868
Oh, no.
135
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:21,239
Hi, I'm les nessman,
Senior news director.
136
00:07:21,307 --> 00:07:23,742
You must be arnold isley.
137
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:25,777
I know your mother very well.
138
00:07:25,846 --> 00:07:27,646
Welcome to wkrp,
139
00:07:27,714 --> 00:07:29,948
And feel free to
Ask any questions.
140
00:07:30,017 --> 00:07:33,484
All this is not as
Complicated as it looks.
141
00:07:33,554 --> 00:07:36,666
Thank you, les, but arnold and I
Wonder if we could talk privately.
142
00:07:36,690 --> 00:07:40,659
Certainly. I'll just
Step into my office
143
00:07:40,727 --> 00:07:43,294
And shut my door.
144
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:46,932
Les, we were hoping...
145
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,034
We may have to
Use your office too.
146
00:07:49,102 --> 00:07:51,036
Oh. Certainly.
147
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,004
I understand.
148
00:07:53,073 --> 00:07:55,206
- what's he on?
- ovaltine.
149
00:07:58,344 --> 00:08:00,579
You know, I just
Can't help noticing
150
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:03,281
That both you
Gentlemen are black.
151
00:08:04,885 --> 00:08:06,851
Oh, god!
152
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,921
I've recently taken quite
An interest in negro culture.
153
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:11,923
- is that right.
- les, uh...
154
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:13,970
- you may not know
This, arnold, - les...
155
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:16,072
But most of the few truly
Original contributions
156
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:19,598
This country has made to society
Have come from black americans.
157
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:21,600
Take, for instance,
The language.
158
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:23,913
Now, I personally think that
It's stagnating in england,
159
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:26,705
But here in the u.S. It
Is vibrant and growing.
160
00:08:26,773 --> 00:08:29,774
And why?
161
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:33,111
- and why?
- why?
162
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,981
Black input, arnold. That's why.
163
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:38,661
- les, look...
- then, of course,
We have music.
164
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:42,453
It's not my favorite subject,
But it's one I can articulate.
165
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:45,957
If the beatles are the
Construct of modern music...
166
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:48,893
And I use that word
"Construct" incorrectly...
167
00:08:48,962 --> 00:08:51,863
Surely they were given birth to
168
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:55,199
By elvis presley,
A giant for sure,
169
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:58,103
But a product of
The black experience.
170
00:08:58,171 --> 00:09:00,438
Ergo... And I use that
Word correctly...
171
00:09:00,507 --> 00:09:03,942
Blacks created modern music.
172
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:07,012
Scratch an allman
Brother, and you have black.
173
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:12,050
Scratch billy
"Joe-ell," and you have
174
00:09:12,119 --> 00:09:14,485
Howling wolf.
175
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:17,355
I could go on, but
My mother is in town.
176
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:22,661
Let's just say that every rock
And roll musician working today
177
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:24,707
Should take half of
His or her paycheck
178
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:27,398
And mail it directly
To chuck berry.
179
00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:31,069
At least, that's what I think,
And I won't even go into jazz.
180
00:09:31,138 --> 00:09:33,116
Arnold, enjoy your
Visit to the station.
181
00:09:33,140 --> 00:09:35,573
Venus, nice visiting
With you too.
182
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:44,460
- right on, les.
- did you tell him all that?
183
00:09:44,484 --> 00:09:47,786
- uh, no.
- you know, I did.
184
00:09:51,725 --> 00:09:53,591
Who is that?
185
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:55,593
Uh, that's, uh, fever.
186
00:09:55,662 --> 00:09:58,129
He hates his apartment, so
He sleeps around the station.
187
00:09:58,198 --> 00:10:00,264
- that's dr. Fever?
- yeah.
188
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:02,411
- he don't look
Like his voice.
- yeah?
189
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:05,036
- you don't either.
- I don't?
190
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:08,006
No. You sound white to me.
191
00:10:08,075 --> 00:10:12,410
I really don't care what you think about
Me. I'm just trying to help your mother.
192
00:10:12,478 --> 00:10:15,213
Yeah? And how are
You gonna do that?
193
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:17,949
I've seen your type before.
You're gonna be big loser, man.
194
00:10:18,018 --> 00:10:20,618
Life's gonna run you over
Like a giant steamroller.
195
00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:22,821
- is that right?
- yeah, that's right.
196
00:10:22,889 --> 00:10:24,388
I'll tell you what.
197
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:28,459
Here's a hundred dollars.
198
00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:31,362
Why don't you go out and
Buy yourself a new jacket?
199
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:37,001
That's how life's
Running me over.
200
00:10:37,070 --> 00:10:39,230
Why don't you give that
Money to your mother?
201
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:41,940
I tried.
202
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:44,175
I can't. She won't take it.
203
00:10:44,244 --> 00:10:45,855
Do you love your mama?
204
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,312
Yeah, I love my mama.
205
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:50,793
Well, give me 30 minutes, man.
We'll go somewhere else and talk.
206
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:52,795
Just you and me, one
On one. What do you say?
207
00:10:52,819 --> 00:10:55,854
Okay. Why not?
I'm here, ain't I?
208
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:01,559
Hi, brothers.
209
00:11:05,031 --> 00:11:08,532
Cowabunga, uncle bob!
210
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:12,436
There's that hundred-dollar
Bill I lost yesterday.
211
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:15,417
I thought it was gone. I
Looked all over the place for it.
212
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:17,708
Ha! This is strange.
213
00:11:17,778 --> 00:11:20,378
Life itself is strange. Mm!
214
00:11:27,087 --> 00:11:29,420
Donation.
215
00:11:29,489 --> 00:11:31,489
Let's go, arnold.
216
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,768
♪♪
217
00:11:43,837 --> 00:11:47,471
These editorials of yours,
They're good, darn good.
218
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,841
I'm not saying that they're not.
219
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:52,210
Neither is bailey,
Not for a minute.
220
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:54,359
I'm not, and neither
Is andy, mr. Carlson.
221
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:56,558
Oh, no, sir. What we are
Saying is that sometimes
222
00:11:56,582 --> 00:11:59,217
Your editorials are
Just a little bit mild.
223
00:11:59,286 --> 00:12:01,552
You can't have a
Hot item all the time.
224
00:12:01,621 --> 00:12:04,022
I know that, but, sir, since
You've been doing this,
225
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:06,024
You've come out in favor of
226
00:12:06,092 --> 00:12:09,961
Good roads, better
Education, and spring.
227
00:12:11,264 --> 00:12:14,265
You came out in favor
Of spring, mr. Carlson.
228
00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:16,835
What's wrong with spring?
229
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:19,871
I like spring. Can't I
Talk about the seasons?
230
00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:22,307
Why does everything have
To be so negative today?
231
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:25,743
Well, it's a down
Time, mr. Carlson.
232
00:12:25,812 --> 00:12:28,490
Just listen to me
For just one second.
233
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:31,182
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
We'll go do it in the storeroom.
234
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:34,319
Look, I just want to
Get this over with, okay?
235
00:12:34,387 --> 00:12:36,054
Come on.
236
00:12:40,693 --> 00:12:44,128
- where'd you get
The hundred-dollar bill?
- on the street.
237
00:12:44,197 --> 00:12:45,942
Rolling drunks? Selling drugs?
238
00:12:45,966 --> 00:12:47,999
No, man. You got me all wrong.
239
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:50,046
Yeah, you are a member
Of a gang, though?
240
00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:51,736
No, it's a, uh,
241
00:12:51,804 --> 00:12:53,905
A social club, you
Know what I mean?
242
00:12:53,974 --> 00:12:55,740
A gentlemen's club.
243
00:12:55,808 --> 00:12:58,476
Yeah, and you're the president
Of this gentlemen's club?
244
00:12:58,544 --> 00:13:01,523
- that's right.
- that means you're
The strongest and smartest.
245
00:13:01,547 --> 00:13:05,350
- yeah, I guess so.
- you're strong
And you're smart.
246
00:13:05,418 --> 00:13:07,763
- I just want to
Verify that.
- yeah.
247
00:13:07,787 --> 00:13:09,498
I'm strong and I'm smart.
248
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:11,256
Good. I'm not surprised.
249
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:12,835
So why do you want
To drop out of school?
250
00:13:12,859 --> 00:13:14,759
It's a waste of my time.
251
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:17,728
Maybe. Main reason is,
You don't like it, do you?
252
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:20,431
- yeah, I guess so.
- how come?
253
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,245
Because it's wasting my time.
254
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:24,102
No.
255
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:26,415
You don't like school because
You look like a dummy in there.
256
00:13:26,439 --> 00:13:29,151
- what are you talking about?
- you look like an idiot
In class.
257
00:13:29,175 --> 00:13:30,519
- a what?
- an idiot.
258
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:32,583
- look out, man.
- hey, I'm looking out.
259
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:34,645
I'm looking out.
260
00:13:34,714 --> 00:13:37,148
And I see a smart
Guy who isn't so smart
261
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:38,995
When a teacher
Asks him a question.
262
00:13:39,019 --> 00:13:40,997
- embarrassing, ain't it?
- I wouldn't know.
263
00:13:41,021 --> 00:13:42,720
Oh, yeah, you would.
264
00:13:42,789 --> 00:13:45,001
There ain't nobody like to do
Anything to make them look dumb.
265
00:13:45,025 --> 00:13:46,568
And school makes you look dumb.
266
00:13:46,592 --> 00:13:48,592
I run that school, my man.
267
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:51,162
Hey, I'm sure you do.
I'm not saying you don't.
268
00:13:51,231 --> 00:13:54,010
But you don't look good in
Class, and you don't like it, do you?
269
00:13:54,034 --> 00:13:56,734
- you saying I'm dumb?
- no.
270
00:13:56,803 --> 00:13:58,603
I'm saying you ain't strong.
271
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,449
You want to see
Just how strong I am,
272
00:14:00,473 --> 00:14:02,573
You keep on talking.
273
00:14:02,642 --> 00:14:04,520
- do you know what strong is?
- what?
274
00:14:04,544 --> 00:14:06,389
Strong is not caring what
Anybody thinks about you.
275
00:14:06,413 --> 00:14:07,890
- yeah?
- yeah.
276
00:14:07,914 --> 00:14:10,281
Well, I don't care
What anybody thinks,
277
00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:12,417
Especially you.
278
00:14:12,485 --> 00:14:14,496
What if you start
Paying attention in class
279
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,821
Instead of being cool and
Causing a lot of trouble?
280
00:14:16,889 --> 00:14:20,258
How would your friends react? What
Would your lieutenants think about that?
281
00:14:20,327 --> 00:14:22,427
Doesn't matter,
'cause I ain't gonna do it.
282
00:14:22,495 --> 00:14:25,196
But could you do it?
Could you be that strong?
283
00:14:25,265 --> 00:14:27,765
Yeah. I could be that strong.
284
00:14:27,834 --> 00:14:30,501
Then you're a very
Special man, arnold.
285
00:14:30,570 --> 00:14:32,570
Now we're getting somewhere.
286
00:14:33,974 --> 00:14:36,975
- too bad you're dumb.
- don't start that again.
287
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:40,211
You know what's
Really dumb, arnold?
288
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,425
You think they're trying
To make you take something.
289
00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:45,569
- they are.
- those teachers don't care
About you that much, man.
290
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:47,763
If you're not buying what
They're selling, to hell with you.
291
00:14:47,787 --> 00:14:50,121
They're just gonna promote
You right out of there.
292
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:52,801
Look, man, you believe they're
Trying to make you take something.
293
00:14:52,825 --> 00:14:55,526
I'm telling you they got
Something that belongs to you.
294
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:57,673
It's yours. It's your right
To have what they got.
295
00:14:57,697 --> 00:15:00,409
If they won't give you an education,
You got to steal it from them.
296
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:03,712
You got to stand up and say, "Hey, teacher,
I don't understand. Repeat that again."
297
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:06,437
They get tired of repeating
That and put you in a special class
298
00:15:06,506 --> 00:15:08,806
And call it "Remedial"
Just to embarrass you,
299
00:15:08,875 --> 00:15:11,087
You got to tell them you don't
Give a damn what they call it,
300
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:14,056
That you're too strong to be embarrassed,
And you want what's coming to you.
301
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,880
Why do I want it? Huh?
302
00:15:15,948 --> 00:15:18,116
I mean, what good
Is an education
303
00:15:18,184 --> 00:15:19,784
For a guy like me?
304
00:15:19,819 --> 00:15:22,131
And don't hand me all that
Bull about jobs and money either,
305
00:15:22,155 --> 00:15:24,766
Because the unemployment line's
Filled with people with an education,
306
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:26,991
Including college
Degrees, am I right?
307
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:28,604
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
308
00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:31,362
There's no guarantee, man.
309
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:33,697
So what's the point of
Going back to school?
310
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,726
You want to know
What I think, man?
311
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:38,214
I think there's only two things
Anybody cares about in this world:
312
00:15:38,238 --> 00:15:40,238
One, survival; two, conquest.
313
00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:43,607
- what about sex?
- that's part of survival.
314
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:46,644
- okay.
- and so is an education, man.
315
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:48,790
You've got to have an
Education to survive.
316
00:15:48,814 --> 00:15:50,292
Now, I'm not gonna
Tell you that,
317
00:15:50,316 --> 00:15:52,328
Because you've heard
That a hundred times before.
318
00:15:52,352 --> 00:15:54,318
- I won't bore you with that.
- good.
319
00:15:54,387 --> 00:15:57,766
I'm not gonna bore you with that because
A dude like you is not into survival.
320
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,957
No, you're into conquest.
321
00:16:00,026 --> 00:16:02,038
You conquer out there in
The street, and you like that.
322
00:16:02,062 --> 00:16:05,996
You get conquered in the
Classroom, and you don't like it, do you?
323
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:08,132
No.
324
00:16:08,201 --> 00:16:11,069
Have you conquered math,
Man, or has math conquered you?
325
00:16:11,137 --> 00:16:13,704
Who's the toughest dog
In that fight: you or math?
326
00:16:13,773 --> 00:16:15,440
- math.
- how come?
327
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:17,341
"How come"? I don't know.
328
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:19,455
- what do you think it is?
- I don't know.
329
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:21,590
- do you pay
Attention in class?
- no.
330
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:23,534
What is it? I'm
Asking you, arnold.
331
00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:26,350
- maybe it's because I'm dumb.
- no, you're not.
332
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:29,739
Yeah. I am. Don't be telling me I'm
Not dumb. I'm telling you, I'm dumb.
333
00:16:31,257 --> 00:16:33,569
Arnold, you're smart. You're
The president of your gang.
334
00:16:33,593 --> 00:16:35,003
- it's different.
- no, it isn't.
335
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:37,295
Yes, it is. In school they got
336
00:16:37,363 --> 00:16:40,231
Geometry and english
And biology and...
337
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:42,311
I just don't understand
A thing about it, man.
338
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:44,335
I just don't get any of it.
339
00:16:44,404 --> 00:16:46,904
- what about chemistry?
- that's the hardest one.
340
00:16:46,973 --> 00:16:48,717
Did they teach you
About the atom?
341
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:51,142
The atom? Year after year.
342
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:53,291
And I don't know the
First thing about it.
343
00:16:54,581 --> 00:16:57,548
I can give you the basics
Of the atom in two minutes.
344
00:16:57,617 --> 00:17:00,351
You'll understand it perfectly
And remember it for months.
345
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:03,287
Two minutes? You're
Crazy, you know that?
346
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:05,990
If I can teach you about
The atom in two minutes,
347
00:17:06,058 --> 00:17:08,036
Will you go back to school
And finish out the year?
348
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:11,107
How about it. Huh? Come on. You're
A betting man. How about it, arnold?
349
00:17:11,131 --> 00:17:14,565
Yeah. Yeah, okay,
Sure. You got it.
350
00:17:14,634 --> 00:17:17,701
- I got your word?
- yeah, you got my word
And two minutes.
351
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:20,171
- we got a deal.
- yeah, we got a deal.
352
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,740
- all right, sit down.
- okay.
353
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:28,312
Okay. There are three
Gangs on the street, right?
354
00:17:28,381 --> 00:17:29,658
Yeah, yeah. Three gangs.
355
00:17:29,682 --> 00:17:31,048
And this...
356
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:34,718
This right here
Is the territory.
357
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:37,388
Now, here is a neighborhood.
358
00:17:37,457 --> 00:17:39,123
- got that?
- yeah.
359
00:17:39,192 --> 00:17:42,171
And right in the middle of the
Neighborhood is a gang called
360
00:17:42,195 --> 00:17:43,727
The new boys.
361
00:17:43,796 --> 00:17:46,030
Yeah. The new boys. Good name.
362
00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:48,533
Okay. Out here on the
Outside of the neighborhood,
363
00:17:48,601 --> 00:17:50,712
On the edge of the
Neighborhood, is another gang.
364
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:54,138
These are real negative
Dudes. Really negative. Right?
365
00:17:54,207 --> 00:17:57,408
- right.
- they call themselves
The elected ones.
366
00:17:57,477 --> 00:17:59,743
- all right. The elected ones.
- you got that?
367
00:17:59,812 --> 00:18:01,557
Really negative. They
Don't like nothing.
368
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,141
- see?
- right.
369
00:18:03,183 --> 00:18:05,827
They all the time out here
Circling around the neighborhood.
370
00:18:05,851 --> 00:18:07,751
Just circling, you know?
371
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:10,020
Checking out the new boys.
372
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:11,989
The new boys see this,
373
00:18:12,058 --> 00:18:14,036
And they figure there's
Something wrong here,
374
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:16,038
So they make a deal
With another gang,
375
00:18:16,062 --> 00:18:18,462
A gang of very
Happy-go-lucky guys.
376
00:18:18,531 --> 00:18:21,899
They call themselves the pros.
377
00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:23,767
The pros.
378
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:26,170
Now, the pros are very
Positive cats, you see?
379
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:29,340
- they got all the good-looking
Women, right?
- yeah.
380
00:18:29,409 --> 00:18:31,775
See, now, the pros
381
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:34,978
And the elected ones... Interesting
Thing... They hate each other.
382
00:18:35,047 --> 00:18:38,282
So much so, that they keep the
Same number of members in the gang
383
00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:40,484
- just in case, you dig?
- right.
384
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:43,387
So if I've got 10 elected
Ones, how many pros do I have?
385
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:46,068
- ten.
- all right. Now, how many
Gangs do I have?
386
00:18:46,092 --> 00:18:47,636
- three.
- name 'em.
387
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:50,828
The new boys, the
Elected ones, and the pros.
388
00:18:50,896 --> 00:18:52,908
- all right. Who's here?
- the elected ones.
389
00:18:52,932 --> 00:18:55,399
- what are they? Negative?
- yeah, negative.
390
00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:57,213
All right. Now, who's positive?
391
00:18:57,237 --> 00:18:59,670
The pros. And you're
Running out of time.
392
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:02,573
You see right here? The
Pros and the new boys?
393
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:05,409
They call their
Hangout the nucleus.
394
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:07,712
Yeah. Now, see, that's
A real tough word.
395
00:19:07,780 --> 00:19:10,959
It's latin. And I kind of think
It's swahili, and it means "Center."
396
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,783
Yeah? What is it?
397
00:19:12,852 --> 00:19:14,985
- it's nucleus. Say it.
- nucleus.
398
00:19:15,054 --> 00:19:16,565
- is that really african?
- say it.
399
00:19:16,589 --> 00:19:17,866
- nucleus.
- you got it?
400
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:19,134
- yeah.
- all right.
401
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,869
I'll give you another
Swahili word.
402
00:19:20,893 --> 00:19:24,027
It's, uh, "Tron."
It means "Dude."
403
00:19:24,096 --> 00:19:26,330
Yeah. Tron. Dude.
404
00:19:26,399 --> 00:19:28,439
All these gangs like
Their names so well
405
00:19:28,501 --> 00:19:30,434
That they all decide to use it.
406
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:32,703
For instance, the
Pros in the middle
407
00:19:32,772 --> 00:19:34,805
Start calling
Themselves protons,
408
00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:38,041
And the new boys start
Calling themselves the neutrons,
409
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:40,088
And out here on the
Edge, the elected ones,
410
00:19:40,112 --> 00:19:43,192
- they start calling
Themselves the elec...
- the electrons,
411
00:19:43,249 --> 00:19:45,728
- the protons
And the neutrons.
- yeah.
412
00:19:45,752 --> 00:19:48,852
And all this right here,
This is the neighborhood.
413
00:19:48,921 --> 00:19:51,255
This is block after
Block of nothing.
414
00:19:51,324 --> 00:19:53,957
You understand block after
Block of nothing, don't you?
415
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:56,294
Yeah, I know all about that.
416
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:58,796
And your time is up,
Professor deejay.
417
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:01,064
Good. I was finished anyway.
418
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:03,279
- now, you go on back
To school now.
- "School"?
419
00:20:03,303 --> 00:20:05,314
All I know about is a
Bunch of damn gangs
420
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:07,338
That live in a round
Neighborhood.
421
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:12,910
Arnold, that's the
Atom. That's it, man.
422
00:20:12,978 --> 00:20:14,690
That's it. What's
This right here?
423
00:20:14,714 --> 00:20:16,880
Uh, protons and neutrons.
424
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:18,994
- all right, and they
Call this the what?
- nucleus.
425
00:20:19,018 --> 00:20:21,163
- all right. What are
These guys up here?
- electrons.
426
00:20:21,187 --> 00:20:23,098
- are they negative or positive?
- negative.
427
00:20:23,122 --> 00:20:25,000
- and how do they move?
- round and round.
428
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:27,469
- and if I've got two,
How many protons do I have?
- two.
429
00:20:27,493 --> 00:20:29,938
- are protons negative
Or positive?
- positive.
430
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:31,973
- and what's all this here?
- that's the neighborhood.
431
00:20:31,997 --> 00:20:33,698
- which is?
- nothing.
432
00:20:33,766 --> 00:20:35,800
You got it, man. You got an "A."
433
00:20:43,008 --> 00:20:45,743
You know this stuff
Backwards and forwards.
434
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:48,612
- I do?
- yeah.
435
00:20:48,681 --> 00:20:51,949
Yeah. I do.
436
00:20:52,017 --> 00:20:53,762
Yeah, but what good
Is it gonna do me?
437
00:20:53,786 --> 00:20:56,086
I ain't never seen an
Atom. I can't touch it.
438
00:20:56,155 --> 00:20:58,255
Arnold, you've
Got to learn to live
439
00:20:58,324 --> 00:21:00,424
Beyond your fingertips, man.
440
00:21:00,493 --> 00:21:02,993
You've got to start believing
In things you can't see.
441
00:21:03,062 --> 00:21:05,095
I see what I see.
442
00:21:05,164 --> 00:21:07,531
- is africa a place?
- yeah.
443
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,277
- you ever been there?
- no.
444
00:21:09,301 --> 00:21:11,012
- is it still there?
- yeah.
445
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:12,781
This thing here
You call your body,
446
00:21:12,805 --> 00:21:15,183
That's what atoms are when
They get together in a certain way.
447
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:17,219
It's what everything
Is. It's what we all are.
448
00:21:17,243 --> 00:21:20,522
You know that 95% of people in this
Country don't know what you know about it?
449
00:21:20,546 --> 00:21:23,914
And you conquered it in two
Minutes. How does that make you feel?
450
00:21:23,983 --> 00:21:26,417
I guess kind of good.
451
00:21:26,486 --> 00:21:28,886
That's the joy of conquest,
452
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:32,155
The joy of learning, and that's
Why you should go back to school.
453
00:21:33,459 --> 00:21:36,727
You know, man, you
Should teach school.
454
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:39,663
- yeah, well, I, uh...
- you did, didn't you?
455
00:21:39,732 --> 00:21:41,732
- no, no.
- are you sure?
456
00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:45,436
Yeah, I'm sure. But I
Did lie about one thing:
457
00:21:45,505 --> 00:21:48,038
Those words being swahili?
458
00:21:48,107 --> 00:21:51,876
No. Black kids seem to learn faster when
They think it's about their own culture.
459
00:21:51,944 --> 00:21:53,944
Just a little white lie, okay?
460
00:21:54,013 --> 00:21:55,813
Okay.
461
00:21:57,717 --> 00:22:00,818
- so are you gonna
Finish out the year?
- you won, man.
462
00:22:00,887 --> 00:22:02,887
No, arnold, you won.
463
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:05,923
Okay.
464
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:07,892
And another thing, arnold, uh,
465
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,005
You're probably not gonna find
A teacher as good as me again,
466
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:13,130
So, uh, when class
Starts getting very boring,
467
00:22:13,198 --> 00:22:15,176
You pay particular
Attention and break it down
468
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,968
Into something you
Can identify with, okay?
469
00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:20,471
Sure.
470
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:22,573

Your mother tonight.
471
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:26,944

You were back there?

00:22:50,736 --> 00:22:53,203
I tried, but I was asleep.
477
00:22:55,307 --> 00:22:57,140
How long did you teach, man?
478
00:22:58,611 --> 00:23:01,645
Uh, three years, but I
Couldn't cut it, so I quit.
479
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:04,582
You never told me about that.
480
00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:06,528
It's not the kind of
Thing I'm proud of.

502
00:24:08,514 --> 00:24:11,526
The odds were against me, and look
How I turned out? I mean, I'm so beautiful.
503
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:13,784
You are, too.
504
00:24:13,853 --> 00:24:16,753
- well, cute, maybe.
- no, baby, you're beautiful.
505
00:24:16,823 --> 00:24:19,323
I guess there's no point in
Arguing with you, is there?
506
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:21,358
No, there's not.
