shows strong signs
of deterioration
since his fast began...
- Walkout!
- Walkout!
- Bobby!
- Yes!
- Gettysburg.
- Uh...
I don't know. A whole mess
of people got killed.
Scratch a little
deeper, Bobby.
- Who fought there?
- Americans!
Americans?
How about your ancestors?
- Mexicanos?
- Yeah!
Yoli, help him out. Read the part
on the Chicano regiments.
- Chicanos?
- Old Mexican-Americans.
It was before we
moved to East L.A.
Any luck, Yoli?
Read the part
about Mariano Vallejo
and his meeting
with Abraham Lincoln. That's it.
Paula, help her out. Read the part
of 9,000 Mexican-Americans
who fought in
Mr. Castro, it doesn't say
anything about Mexican-Americans.
Let me see.
See, that's funny.
We were there.
What side
did we fight on?
Both.
Ooh, and we still lost?
Yeah, we still lost.
You know what we lost?
We lost our legacy.
Why? 'Cause we're
not in this book.
See, if people
don't know about it,
then it never happened.
See, you're learning
your history
from people that don't
know your history.
Your blood...
is in Gettysburg.
What about Vietnam?
Your blood is
in Vietnam too.
Okay, have a good day.
Fernie, I want
to talk to you.
Hey.
Your mother signed
your permission slip.
- I need your permission slip too.
I can't hold it, Paula.
What do we do? What do we do?
Let's try
the faculty restroom.
Excuse me!
What are you doing?
Mr. Hurley,
I really have to go.
building at lunch. You know that.
- Mr. Hurley, the other bathrooms--
- I don't make the rules.
Go on!
- Hey, Yoli, you wanna see the fight?
- Not right now, Bobby.
- Watch out.
- Okay okay.
Break it up!
I said break it up!
Break it up, break it up!
Get over here.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Hey, we're not
done here, puto!
Drop it, Fernie.
Drop it, Fernie.
Drop it. Okay, everybody
go back to class.
Come on, stop!
Come on,
before Ingles sees us.
- The principal's a pendejo.
- Ey!
Look, don't give
that pendejo
any more reasons
to kick you out of school.
No one talks like that
about my mother, man.
You're worried about
your mother? Graduate.
- Everybody go back to class.
- Hey, Paula.
See you at the meeting room.
Be there or be square.
I'll see you there, Ray.
Guess we'd better
get back inside now.
No no no, I'll catch up
with you later.
All right.
Come on!
Please, Papi!
It's not a camping trip.
I'm not sending you to the beach
with a bunch of wild boys. I told you!
It's Malibu! It's a student
leadership conference, Papi!
You have nothing
to worry about.
They're all geeks,
like Paula.
You think anyone
who can spell is a geek.
- J-E-K.
- G-E-E-K.
That was my point, see?
It's a chance to be around
intelligent kids for a change.
Panfilo, it's an honor
to be chosen.
- She brings pride to the family.
- Dad--
I already finished my homework,
I got the weekend off from the theater,
- and it doesn't cost anything!
- Jeff!
- Yeah, Papi?
- When's your test?
Monday.
You stay home and help
your brother study.
He's not so smart
like you.
I'm not going to help him.
No one ever helped me with my homework.
Here.
You have permission.
He signed it?!
I signed it.
It only asks
for one signature.
You should be
very pleased, Paula.
President of the ticketeers,
prom committee,
you've make quite
a contribution here.
Not to mention
your test scores.
Now here are
your financial aid forms.
Have you applied
to any other colleges?
No, not yet.
- Hey, Paula.
- Hey, Paula.
Hey, how'd it go?
Mr. Peck told me,
"You have a big future ahead of you."
- That's good!
- Yeah.
- In the art world.
- Industrial arts.
Nice way to say
"car mechanic."
He told me secretary.
There's no nice way to say that.
Didn't he offer
junior college?
Yeah, to improve
my typing skills.
Anyway. So what
did he say to you?
He just gave me some pamphlets
and financial aid stuff.
Out of all of us, you should
definitely be the one going to college.
Why only me?
- 'Cause you're smart.
- So are you.
- Yeah, not in the same way.
- Bobby Verdugo? Give me a break, Sal.
- He also happens to be a smart ass.
- We can get him into UCLA.
- He's got 2.8.
- But he's got the test scores.
Get real, Sal. We've got to concentrate
our resources on the talented ones.
You don't have to go
to college to be successful.
No, you don't, but they have
to know what's available to them.
They could be doctors, lawyers.
to play in society, Sal.
Lloyd, I think you'd
better stay out of this.
How much money
do you make?
- As much as you do.
- Which is bupkis.
And Jorge Ramirez who graduated
this high school owns his own tire shop.
No college education,
You know what? I bet he's got
- Sal, you know I do whatever I can.
- Good.
Don't give up on Bobby.
Steer him into college.
Is that what he wants, Sal,
or is that what you want?
You know something, Hurley?
Whoever gave you a break,
I bet you they
regret it right now.
I'm just asking
a question.
"I seemed swinging in a mighty
rhythm through orbit vastness.
Sparkling points of light
spluttered and shot past me."
- Fernie.
- "They were stars,
I knew,
and flaring comets
that peopled my flight
among the suns."
Jesus.
"As I reached
the limit of my swing
and prepared to rush back
on the counter swing,
a great... gong struck
and thundered."
- "For an immeasurable--"
- Bobby, Jesus, front and center.
- What'd I do?
- You spoke Spanish. You know the rules.
Mr. Verdugo,
you're first.
Let's go.
Assume the position.
Quiet!
Excuse me.
Glad you could join us.
Since you're here,
is there any action
on the entertainment
for the prom?
a band. Personally,
- I like The Midnighters.
- Can we afford them?
Well, we could still
do some fundraising
and pull about $100
from the decorating committee.
Look at what we're
spending on balloons.
Balloons contribute
to the festive atmosphere.
Find a cheaper band.
If there isn't anything--
We have to get the school to
open the restrooms at lunch.
and proposed it.
They say we don't
respect it.
They're bathrooms, Ray,
not churches.
Not happening.
Let's focus on things
under our control.
Be careful, mija.
Bye, Mami!
- Do you guys ever stop kissing?
- Do we ever?
No, never.
- See? Look how she loves me.
- Check this out, Paula.
- Isn't that cute?
- It's my love drawing I made for him.
Hey, come on, Chato,
don't do me like this, ese!
Mr. Castro said all I gotta
do is deliver you here
and I don't have
to do a book report.
I see how you putos are!
Pimping out
your own homeboy!
What the f***
are you looking at?
- You're coming with us?
- F*** no.
- Nice, huh?
