00:13:50 See, once they hear us,
00:13:53 (Rhythmic Clapping)
00:13:58 We are the heart and the soul.
00:14:01 Without the percussion section,
00:14:15 (Clapping Increases)
00:14:19 We are the pulse.
00:14:21 And without a pulse, you're dead.
00:14:26 (Clapping Stops)
00:14:29 That's why we're the most important
00:14:31 - (Whistle Blows)

00:54:21 Actually, Dr. Lee,
00:54:28 Oh, nah. You the big dog.
00:54:30 No, I really think it'd help
00:54:33 I wouldn't do it no justice.
00:54:35 What are you two...
00:54:37 It doesn't have to be perfect, Devon.
00:54:39 Come on. You knocked that cadence out
00:54:45 You got it.
00:54:47 Go on, rip it, dog.
00:54:50 - Go on, dog.
00:54:56 (Man)

00:55:11 Don't feel like playing

00:55:17 It was obvious,
00:55:21 Personally, I don't give a damn if the boy
00:55:25 Have some respect for your section, Robert.
00:55:28 It's my job to protect the line and that's what I did.
00:55:33 You lied on your application...
00:55:36 you lied at your audition
00:55:39 and you lied to me.
00:55:41 I didn't think
00:55:48 Play that.
00:55:51 That's the music for next week's game
00:55:56 And as far as I'm concerned,
00:56:05 I'm enrolling you in
00:56:08 Man, that gives me five classes.
00:56:10 Damn right it gives you five classes,
00:56:12 especially if you plan on getting back
00:56:16 What you mean,
00:56:18 I mean, now you're a P4.
00:56:21 If you cannot read music,
00:56:25 Man, you can't take me off the line!
00:56:28 - And can't no class teach me how to do me.
00:56:31 Doing me is what got me down
00:56:34 No, lying
00:56:40 And if you don't have the honor
00:56:45 then quite frankly, Devon,
00:56:54 (Laila's Voice)
00:56:58 If music is what you love,
00:57:06 You love dance, right?
00:57:13 My parents are paying
00:57:18 And to them...
00:57:21 dancing's not a real major.
00:57:25 Well, is it real to you?
00:57:29 Because when I see you doing
00:57:35 That seems real to me.
00:57:43 It's not always about doing
00:57:48 See, I don't even get that.
00:57:53 I always knew I'd be here.
00:57:56 Both my parents went to A&T.

01:14:42 Okay. Break them up into groups,
01:14:46 - (Whistle Blows)
01:14:49 - What took you so long?
01:14:53 (Laughs)
01:14:56 at the homecoming last week.
01:14:59 But I bet Dr. Lee grounded you,
01:15:02 - Actually, he kicked me off the band.
01:15:06 But, see, that's what happens
01:15:09 don't have a real place to shine.
01:15:13 Uh, you know, Mr. Wade...
01:15:16 I was wondering if maybe you had
01:15:23 That's a definite possibility.
01:15:25 But I want you to think very carefully about that,
01:15:29 In the meantime, I'll talk to the coaches
01:15:32 All right.
01:15:35 - Thanks.
01:15:38 Look, I might as well
01:15:40 What's that?
01:15:42 I can't really read music.
01:15:45 Don't worry about that. A lot of folks
01:15:49 don't mean
01:15:52 - (Chattering)
01:16:01 Just once, could a brother
01:16:07 Hi.
01:16:13 Devon.
01:16:16 Oh, snap.
01:16:22 Look, I panicked.
01:16:24 My parents were talking
01:16:27 "That hoodlum on the field
01:16:31 Devon, I'm... I'm sorry.
01:16:33 It ain't about your parents.
01:16:36 You left me hanging.
01:16:40 You know how that feels?
01:16:43 No? Let me show you.
01:16:51 Dr. Lee? Dr. Lee.
01:16:54 I just wanted to catch
01:16:56 I was thinking that instead of promoting
01:16:59 we might just keep
01:17:02 And how long have you
01:17:05 Just this morning.
01:17:08 Are you sure?
01:17:10 I thought maybe it was the day
01:17:14 or maybe it was the night
01:17:17 I don't know.
01:17:19 But since you heard him play...
01:17:21 you decided that the line,
01:17:26 would be better off without him.
01:17:32 Remember when I first
01:17:37 You were sweating bullets
01:17:40 this loud, passionate group
01:17:44 and I said you would be fine.
01:17:46 Remember why?
01:17:49 You said I loved
01:17:51 more than the sound
01:17:53 Yes. And you've lost
01:17:58 and that's okay because...
01:18:01 we all lose sight
01:18:04 But if you don't get it together,
01:18:07 you're gonna have
01:18:10 whether Devon is on it or not.
01:18:27 (Wade)
01:18:29 to get you some
01:18:31 hook you up with a part-time job
01:18:34 - You know you need some money. Hmm? Hmm?
01:18:36 - Yeah. I heard that.

01:18:42 Sit up in the skybox with us.
01:18:44 - You can see the honeys way good up there.
01:18:47 - Most def.
01:18:50 - Now, what can you tell me?
01:18:55 What you mean,
01:18:57 Oh, I know Dr. Lee is working
01:19:01 The man's too stubborn to sit down
01:19:04 - You know that.
01:19:07 - I don't know.
01:19:10 (Laughs)
01:19:12 At least a play list.
