Mm-hmm.

What's it like

when you smoke that stuff?

Sorry.

No, don't be.

It's all right.

Mash them up.

Hope you have

a nice date, Mr. Dunn.

Hey, thanks for the joke.

So my buddy gets in the car

and the cab driver's like,

I'm so sorry I'm late, sir.

I had to kill somebody

On the way here, you know.

and he's like, what?

He's like, oh, yeah

I kill him, I kill him.

and he's like, what do you,

You, you killed him?

He's, like, yeah,

I kill people all the time.

I'm killing people,

you know, anybody

Who really kind of mouth off

to me, I f***ing kill them, man.

Turns out he thinks "kill" is

the word for "punch," right?

Uh huh.

So he's punching people.

My friend thinks

that he's killing them.

He's terrified and he thinks

that the word for "cement"

is "semen."

So he's like well, basically

You can't go anywhere in India

without, you know,

stepping on semen.

There's semen everywhere.

There's semen buildings.

It's lot of people, you know,

so everything is made of semen,

you know.

I didn't say every day.

You're her father.

Today she got locked out

the house.

She didn't even

have your number at work.

Are you a communist?

What?

I was looking

through your books.

"Che in Africa"?

So?

"The Communist Manifesto?"

If I had a copy of "Mein Kampf"

Would that make me a Nazi?

You know, this is really good,

very tasty.

You should try it warm.

Well, you don't have

a copy of of "Mein Kampf"

But if you did, then yes,

I'd ask you if you were a Nazi.

Maybe I'm hiding it.

Why would you hide it?

'Cause it's just not cool

To be a Nazi anymore, baby.

So what are you doing today?

Oh, I got to--

It's great you're writing.

Yeah, we'll see.

I should let you get to it then.

Yeah, thanks though.

I had a good time.

Yeah, me too.

On November 1, 1977,

Harvey Milk was elected

To the San Francisco

City Council.

He was the first

Openly gay person

To ever be elected

To public office.

A year later he was

assassinated by another member

Of the City Council

Called Dan White.

--reports that Harvey Milk

have been shot and killed.

Dan White claimed he shot Milk

because he ate

too much junk food that day.

This would later be known

As the twinkie defense.

Is that for real?

Drey, Drey, come here.

Where are you going?

Home.

I'll give you a ride home.

That's cool.

I got a ride.

I don't really think

you should be riding with him,

do you think?

Drey, is everything cool?

Everything's okay.

I'm going to take her home.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Is that right, D, huh,

you getting a ride with teach?

No, man.

Drey, Drey, Drey, come here.

Everything's fine.

Have a nice night.

I'm going to take her home,

Okay?

Hey, look, man, you know what,

let me introduce myself, huh?

I'm Frank.

Come here now, okay?

Come here.

Come here.

Hey, hey, hey.

Coach?

You need to take it easy, man.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Did I hurt you?

Didn't mean to.

We'll see you later, Teach.

Come on.

Dunn, right?

Lloyd Dixon.

My daughter Paula went

To Jefferson, Paula Dixon.

You taught history, right?

Paula Dixon?

She's in her first semester

At Georgetown, history major.

Paula Dixon.

You have a good night.

Dave?

Dave?

In Asia the idea that things

are made of opposites,

Ying and Yang,

dates back 3,000 years.

That was them saying change

is the only constant,

But that just died in the west.

It just couldn't be both,

couldn't be black and white.

It would be right and wrong.

It had to be one or the other.

Who am I to say

that Aristotle is wrong, right,

but that doesn't make any sense.

These things need each other.

The idea that all

God's creations are "perfect"--

So just to suggest that a tree,

it's crooked and it's straight,

It's strong

and it's weak, is to suggest

That god created

something imperfect.

They do however

acknowledge it in people.

We are sinners, but we can

strive to be good,

Just not in nature itself,

I guess.

Oh, I've got to go.

You guys write down

what's on the board.

"Broward County Florida

Middle schools mistakenly

"failed over 6500 students

In June due to what

"later called a computer error.

"a school official called the

total count of students affected

An insignificant sum."

What goes, Danny boy?

How's history?

I can't do it anymore.

Oh, I know the feeling.

Hang in there.

Things will get better.

And if not,

There's always summer.

Don't you have class right now?

Look, look, look,

that's him over there.

That ain't even

your bike, though.

That's my bike.

Oh, I got you.

There he go right there.

He a little round one too.

This my bike, n*gger.

What?

I said that's my bike.

What the f*** you doing

on my bike?

I ain't know it was yours.

You ain't know it was mines?

What you mean

you ain't know it was mines?

You always see me on this bike.

Sorry.

I just didn't know

it was your bike.

You hella sorry, n*gger.

I should f*** you up.

Get off my bike.

So what happened, huh?

What?

I thought you

Was going f*** him up?

Didn't have to.

Oh, sh*t, okay,

you didn't have to.

Hey.

Hey.

It's back.

Yeah.

Did you know my brother?

I knew of him, but I didn't,

you know.

He wasn't in any of my classes

or anything.

You think I could end up

like him?

Do you?

He's got a 7-Up in his

Mother f***ing--.

Hey, what's up, teach?

how's the Dianetics going?

It's Dialectics.

Can I talk to you?

What's up?

Okay, look, I hate to be this

guy right now, right?

Mm-hmm.

But I need you

To stay away from Drey.

Excuse me?

You heard me, okay,

so just do me this solid.

All right, man, please?

Do you a solid?

You know what I'm saying.

You understand me.

Oh, so this is

like stay away from the girl,

She's too precious kind of sh*t?

I'm not kidding.

Oh, I know.

So you understand?

Look, man, Drey is my family.

She's my friend, man.

All these cats,

these are my friends.

and would you like

to be my friend, man?

What the f*** is this,

f***ing romper room?

What the f*** is a romper room?

Are you f***ing

listening to me?

Why are you

so f***ing angry, man?

'Cause you are not

listening to me.

Look, I'm right here, baby.

Tell me

what you're talking about.

I'm telling you

to do something good.

Oh.

Are you capable of that?

So now we back to the point of

what is white is right, right?

So--

F***, this has nothing to do

with that and you know it.

--no, no, it's good for Drey

to have somebody

Like you looking out for her

Mr. Model A1 f***ing citizen.

I don't know, I don't know.

F***.

Because I'm supposed

to do something, right?

But what am I supposed to do?

Look, man, you want a drink?

What?

Motherf***er,

do you want a drink?

I mean, are you thirsty?

How that sound?

Okay.

You want some candy?

Man, don't touch that cat.

Hey, y'all this

is teach Dan, man.

These are my boys.

That's Mike's

little sister Drey,

that's her teach.

What's happening?

You ain't bringing

that sh*t in my house, man.

Put that cat down.

Get your ass out here.
