Первая сцена
Also, despite best efforts, we are cutting all extracurricular activities, which includes the debate club, the music program, the annual senior class field trip. Excuse me? You’re talking about cutting the music program? You’re actually going to cut music? I’m sorry. We simply don’t have the funds. Wait a minute, Mr. Pitcher. We’re talking about Marty’s job here. Music takes us where word cannot. This is a budget question. And I just need a little bit of that budget. I’ve got 60 kids with dented instruments. Marty, what’s your point? Music helps the kids with math. The kids don’t raise money. This is about a budget. Well, I know how important… You don’t know. Take a seat. Come on. Why don’t you just take it easy on the guy? Excuse me? Just back off a minute. Let’s move on already. Why don’t you not tell me how to do my job?
Okay, and then why don’t you tell him the truth? This is how he got thrown out of softball. Oh, and what would that be? That you’re cutting the music program so he loses tenure. That is ridiculous. You are wasting everyone’s time. You know what? You’re wasting my time. Okay, how does a day without pay sound? Bring it! Really? The decision’s been made. Yeah, well, every time you make a decision, you know what? You mess with somebody’s life. You know what? You have just crossed the line. I’ll tell you what’s crossing the line. Firing a man who’s having a baby. You don’t know that I’m talking about you, necessarily. Congratulations. We’re talking about a lot of money. Money this school just doesn’t have. A lot of money? Really? How much could it possibly cost? $48,000. So, as I was saying, we have no choice but to make these cuts. Or raise the money. Oh, and who’s going to do that? We will.

What’s going on? Where’s everybody? Well, the meeting doesn’t start till 5. It’s 5.15. Well, then you’re late, like everybody else. Where do you think they are? Am I at the right place? Yes, you are, absolutely. Thank you so much for coming, Miss Flores. Are you kidding me? Of course, Marty. You know what I’m gonna do? I think I’m gonna go round up the other teachers. They gotta be somewhere. I guess it was unrealistic to think that anybody would show up when everybody has their own problems. You showed up. You showed up? I said you showed up. Oh, I guess I’m unrealistic. But I gotta say, it’s really nice what you’re doing for Marty. Well, we tried, you know? I mean, what can you do? What are you talking about? You can’t give up on him now. He’s so passionate about what he does. This school needs more people like him, not less. Yeah, no, no, I know. No, I’m saying that’s what we got to do. We got to find a way to make this thing work, and we got to stick at it.

There he is. Hey, how are you? Good. Oh, thanks for doing this, buddy. Scott, meet Kun and Art. Kun, Art, this is Scott. Hey, guys. Wow, you used to fight, huh? Yeah, a long time ago. No, I just teach mixed martial arts at my gym. So we’re going to study or… Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right after you watch UFC. Come on, sit down. Come on. And he has a nasty shoulder lock here. And it is all over. Ken Dietrich, the executioner. Sorry, Kieran. He took his 10 grand and ran off like a shitlump pony. He made 10 grand for that fight? Yeah. But he lost. If he won, it would have been 50. Okay, next fight. Mixed martial arts? Do you even know how to do that? No. No, I do not. This is crazy. Look, I saw this UFC event last night, and the guy got paid 10 grand to fight, and he lost. I was a really good wrestler in college. I think I can do this. Do what? Lose. You cannot do this. Marty, look, we only have until the end of the school year to save your job. Come on, night school. Oh, great, yeah, between what I make there and what you make with your private lessons, we’ll save the music program in 18 years. This is the best chance you got. Okay. Okay, if you’re gonna lose, then I’m gonna help you lose. Deal? Deal. Let’s do this. Let’s lose.
