He said he loves you back.

200

00:
10:14,213 -- 00:10:15,840

Ma!

201

00:
10:29,829 -- 00:10:32,059

[Creaking]

202

00:
10:34,333 -- 00:10:36,096

Come on, man.

Come on!

203

00:
10:56,255 -- 00:10:58,723

Woman:

Floodwaters have consumed

much of New Orleans.

204

00:
10:58,791 -- 00:11:01,760

Man:

Tens of thousands of people

still stranded...

205

00:
11:01,827 -- 00:11:05,263

[overlapping reporters voices]

206

00:
11:06,966 -- 00:11:08,957

Mayor:

I have no idea what they're doing,

207

00:
11:09,035 -- 00:11:10,059

but I will tell you this...

208

00:
11:11,771 -- 00:11:14,899

God is looking down on all this,

209

00:
11:14,974 -- 00:11:16,942

and if they are not doing

210

00:
11:17,009 -- 00:11:19,375

everything in their power

to save people,

211

00:
11:19,445 -- 00:11:22,608

they are gonna pay the price.

212

00:
11:22,682 -- 00:11:26,311

Because every day that we delay,

213

00:
11:26,385 -- 00:11:27,852

people are dying.

214

00:
11:27,920 -- 00:11:30,548

We're getting reports and calls

215

00:
11:30,623 -- 00:11:33,091

that is breaking my heart

from people saying,

216

00:
11:33,159 -- 00:11:36,128

"I've been in my attic.

I can't take it anymore.

217

00:
11:36,195 -- 00:11:38,095

The water is up to my neck.

218

00:
11:38,164 -- 00:11:39,756

I don't think I can hold out."

219

00:
11:40,833 -- 00:11:43,267

People are dying.

220

00:
11:43,335 -- 00:11:47,863

They don't have homes.

They don't have jobs.

221

00:
11:47,940 -- 00:11:51,842

The city of New Orleans

will never be the same.

222

00:
11:51,911 -- 00:11:55,608

Man:

Excuse my French,

everybody in America...

223

00:
11:55,681 -- 00:11:56,773

Daddy?

224

00:
11:58,851 -- 00:11:59,840

Hey.

225

00:
12:02,488 -- 00:12:04,353

I wanna go home.

226

00:
12:07,526 -- 00:12:10,723

Come on.

We're gonna go find your mom.

227

00:
12:12,498 -- 00:12:14,898

Man:

...biggest goddamn crisis

228

00:
12:14,967 -- 00:12:16,730

in the history of this country.

229

00:
12:25,911 -- 00:12:27,776

[Sighs]

230

00:
12:30,316 -- 00:12:32,648

I want my Mommy.

231

00:
12:32,718 -- 00:12:34,481

Don't cry.

232

00:
12:34,553 -- 00:12:37,386

Don't cry, Alana.

233

00:
12:38,791 -- 00:12:41,919

I'm right here, baby.

234

00:
12:46,365 -- 00:12:51,632

[Sirens beeps, shouting]

235

00:
12:51,704 -- 00:12:54,195

Man on PA:

Please do not push or shove.

236

00:
12:54,273 -- 00:12:58,175

- You will be taken...

- Gary, come on, man.

237

00:
12:58,244 -- 00:13:02,180

Kendall, hold on.

Mom said she'd be here by now.

238

00:
13:12,424 -- 00:13:13,584

Gary:

Yo, there's Mom.

239

00:
13:13,659 -- 00:13:16,127

Kendall, I see Mom.

Excuse me!

240

00:
13:16,195 -- 00:13:18,857

- That's my Mom. Wait, wait!

- Kid, we gotta leave.

241

00:
13:18,931 -- 00:13:20,728

Mom! Excuse me. Mom!

242

00:
13:20,800 -- 00:13:23,928

- Gary!

- Mom, we're right here!

243

00:
13:24,003 -- 00:13:27,495

Gary! Gary!

244

00:
13:27,573 -- 00:13:30,235

- Don't you worry, Mom.

- Where's Kendall?

245

00:
13:30,309 -- 00:13:32,903

He's on the bus.

Come on. He's okay.

246

00:
13:32,978 -- 00:13:34,570

- Thank God.

- He's on the bus.

247

00:
13:45,925 -- 00:13:47,984

Where we going?

Where they taking us?

248

00:
13:51,330 -- 00:13:53,890

Don't know, baby.

249

00:
15:07,773 -- 00:15:11,106

- [Insects buzzing]

- [Thuds]

250

00:
16:25,818 -- 00:16:27,786

[Ball bouncing]

251

00:
16:31,824 -- 00:16:35,123

JJ.

252

00:
16:35,194 -- 00:16:37,594

It's good to see you, son.

253

00:
16:39,298 -- 00:16:41,493

You all right?

254

00:
16:43,602 -- 00:16:45,968

Season starts in a week.

255

00:
16:46,038 -- 00:16:48,097

What time practice tomorrow, Coach?

256

00:
16:50,109 -- 00:16:53,636

It's... look around yourself, son.

257

00:
16:53,712 -- 00:16:54,736

We're not gonna...

258

00:
16:54,813 -- 00:16:57,646

I don't think we're gonna

have a season this year.

259

00:
16:57,716 -- 00:17:00,844

So I guess we gonna

practice on the black top

260

00:
17:00,919 -- 00:17:02,352

till the gym's fixed, right?

261

00:
17:02,421 -- 00:17:04,685

JJ, I don't...

262

00:
17:04,757 -- 00:17:07,851

I guess we gonna miss our first game.

263

00:
17:07,926 -- 00:17:10,986

But we gonna play

the rest of 'em, right, Coach?

264

00:
17:11,063 -- 00:17:13,759

Right, Coach?

265

00:
17:14,900 -- 00:17:16,868

Right, Coach?

266

00:
17:21,740 -- 00:17:22,934

You all right, son?

267

00:
17:23,008 -- 00:17:25,442

Are you all right?

268

00:
17:27,613 -- 00:17:31,174

Coach, our house is gone.

269

00:
17:31,250 -- 00:17:36,119

My family, we're all crowded

in a FEMA trailer

270

00:
17:36,188 -- 00:17:40,591

eating rations every day, Coach.

271

00:
17:40,659 -- 00:17:44,095

What time...

272

00:
17:44,163 -- 00:17:46,961

is practice tomorrow?

273

00:
17:54,339 -- 00:17:56,773

Even if it's just you and me...

274

00:
17:56,842 -- 00:17:59,709

to start, I'll be here.

275

00:
17:59,778 -- 00:18:02,713

I promise you.

276

00:
18:02,781 -- 00:18:05,079

Thank you.

277

00:
18:14,593 -- 00:18:16,424

Man:

The city's population, which totaled

278

00:
18:16,495 -- 00:18:18,759

a little under a half a million before Katrina,

279

00:
18:18,831 -- 00:18:20,389

now stands at less than half that.

280

00:
18:20,466 -- 00:18:22,764

Man #2:

New Orleans Department

of Water and Power

281

00:
18:22,835 -- 00:18:24,496

is reporting 40% capacity,

282

00:
18:24,570 -- 00:18:26,800

and is projecting full capacity

in less than four weeks.

283

00:
18:26,872 -- 00:18:29,739

Man #3:

Every day residents continue

to return, and some signs

284

00:
18:29,808 -- 00:18:31,332

of rebuilding have begun.

285

00:
18:31,410 -- 00:18:34,038

[Water sloshing]

286

00:
18:35,414 -- 00:18:38,747

Aha, there's the floor.

287

00:
18:40,786 -- 00:18:42,219

Coach... Al.

288

00:
18:42,287 -- 00:18:44,778

I didn't get your message.

What are you doing?

289

00:
18:44,857 -- 00:18:47,985

I'm putting my team

back together again.

290

00:
18:48,060 -- 00:18:50,392

How? With what?

291

00:
18:50,462 -- 00:18:53,124

The budget that I have.

292

00:
18:53,198 -- 00:18:54,426

That money's gone.

293

00:
18:54,500 -- 00:18:59,665

We'll make do with what we have,

won't we?

294

00:
18:59,738 -- 00:19:01,433

What about the gym?

295

00:
19:01,507 -- 00:19:06,672

We can play all the games away

until this is fixed.

296

00:
19:06,745 -- 00:19:10,078

Then we'll do all the practice

on the black top.

297

00:
19:10,149 -- 00:19:13,710

Al, this is not where

your energy needs

298

00:
19:13,785 -- 00:19:16,618

to be focused right now.

There's a lot going on.

299

00:
19:23,495 -- 00:19:26,521

Okay, do whatever you're gonna do,

300

00:
19:26,598 -- 00:19:28,463

just don't come to me for money.

301

00:
19:28,534 -- 00:19:30,126

I won't.

302

00:
19:30,202 -- 00:19:32,102

You just let me coach my team.

303

00:
19:32,171 -- 00:19:34,264

Okay.

304

00:
19:36,308 -- 00:19:37,639

- [Muttering]

- Hey, guys.
