George McKenna: Son, you threatened a teacher. Now what do you expect me to do? Make believe nothing happened?
Robert Norris: Showing no movie ain't teaching.
George McKenna: Well then you come to me. That's what I'm here for. Now I'll talk to Mr. Goodman.
Robert Norris: Yeah?
George McKenna: Yeah.
Robert Norris: It's gonna be just like the rest of them.
George McKenna: Son, don't lay that humble on me.
Robert Norris: I ain't jiving you.
George McKenna: Yes you are. Now you're suspended for two days for threatening a teacher. There's no excuse for that.
Robert Norris: My momma's gonna kill me!
George McKenna: Well, then you'll think twice about it next time, won't you? That's all.
This isn't the perfect film. Clearly it is hampered by the budget and restrictions of a television movie. It is probably a bit short, because the timeline seems awful constricted. But within the context of what the film is, it is incredible.
Years before the LA riots and bigger movies like "Dangerous Minds", we have this story of a school going from gangland to college material. And Denzel Washington leading the way. I had no idea he was acting in the mid-1980s, and giving such commanding performances. Has he ever given a bad performance? I think not, as he carried this film.
