Scene 2 (10s)

[Audio] Dad, I've had it! School is for the birds! What's the matter, Son?.

Scene 3 (20s)

It’s totally impractical. I don’t get a thing out of it..

Scene 4 (30s)

I felt the same way when I was your age. I remember thinking what a waste some of the classes were..

Scene 5 (40s)

But those classes turned out to be the most helpful to me later on..

Scene 6 (50s)

Just hang in there. Give it some time. (advising).

Scene 7 (0s)

I’ve given it ten years of my life! Can you tell me what good “x plus y” going to be.

Scene 8 (1m 10s)

..as an auto mechanic??. An auto mechanic? You’ve got to be kidding. (evaluating).

Scene 9 (1m 20s)

No, I’m not. Look at Joe. He’s quit school. He’s working on cars..

Scene 10 (1m 30s)

And he’s making lots of money. Now that’s practical..

Scene 11 (1m 40s)

You don’t want to be an auto mechanic. You need an education to prepare you for something better..

Scene 12 (1m 50s)

I don’t know. Joe’s got a pretty good set up.. Look, Son, have you really tried? (probing, evaluating).

Scene 13 (2m 0s)

I’ve been in high school two years now. Sure I’ve tired. It’s just a waste..

Scene 14 (2m 10s)

Well, the other guys fee the same way I do.. Do you realize how many sacrifices your mother and I have made to get you where you are??.

Scene 15 (2m 20s)

You can’t quit when you’ve come this far. (evaluating).

Scene 16 (2m 30s)

I know you’ve sacrificed, Dad. But it’s just not worth it..

Scene 17 (2m 40s)

Look, Dad. It’s just no good.. Never mind! I don’t want to talk about this anyway.

Scene 18 (2m 50s)

I’ve been in high school two years now. Sure I’ve tired. It’s just a waste..

Scene 31 (5m 0s)

Well, the other guys feel the same way I do.. I have some credibility, too. I’m not a moron..

Scene 32 (5m 10s)

Scene 33 (5m 20s)

I know you’ve sacrificed, Dad. But it’s just not worth it..

IT COULD HAVE BEEN….

Scene 36 (5m 50s)

Dad, I’ve had it! School is for the birds!. I want to talk with you to get your attention.

Scene 37 (6m 0s)

I sure am. It’s totally impractical. I don’t get a thing out of it..

Scene 38 (6m 10s)

Well, yeah. I’m just not learning anything that’s going to help me..

Scene 39 (6m 20s)

I mean, look at Joe. He’s dropped out of school and he’s working on cars..

Scene 40 (6m 30s)

And he’s making lots of money. Now that’s practical..

Scene 41 (6m 40s)

Well, I guess he does in a way. He’s really making money now. But in few years, I bet he’ll probably be ticked off at himself..

Scene 42 (6m 50s)

He’s got to. Just look at what he’s giving up. I mean, if you don’t have an education, you just can’t make it in this world..

Scene 43 (7m 0s)

Oh, yeah! I mean, if you don’t have diploma, if you can’t get jobs or go to college, what are you going to do? You’ve just got to get an education..

Scene 44 (7m 10s)

It’s important to your future.. It is. And .. You know what? I’m really worried. Listen, you won’t tell Mom, will you?.

Scene 45 (7m 20s)

You don’t want your mother to find out.. Well, not really. Oh I guess you can tell her. She’ll probably find out anyway..

Scene 46 (7m 30s)

Look, I took this test today, this reading test. And, Dad, they said I’m reading on a fourth-grade level..

Scene 47 (7m 40s)

Fourth grade!! And I’m a junior in high school!.

Scene 48 (7m 50s)

I’m going to flunk, Dad. I guess I figure if I’m going to flunk, I might as well quit. But I don’t want to quit..

Scene 49 (8m 0s)

What do you think I should do, Dad?.

Scene 50 (8m 10s)

Well, I can see some things you might wan to consider..
