 I had
Miss Waters order it for you
a while back, and it just came.
I know the math
is too advanced for you.
It is for me too.
There's calculus,
differential equations...
No, I'll learn the math.
This is great, Miss Riley.
I'll learn everything.
It's the best present
that anyone's ever given me.
Thank you.
I'm gonna show the guys.
Well, Quentin
will probably go cra...
Goodness gracious, Hickam.
Watch where you're goin'.
Just...
- Where'd you get this?
- I gave it to him.
Bye, Miss Riley.
Miss Riley, our job is to give
these kids an education,
not false hopes.
False hopes?
Do you want me to sit quiet,
let 'em breathe in coal dust
the rest of their life?
Miss Riley, once in a while,
a lucky one will get out
on a football scholarship.
The rest of'em
work in the mines.
How about I believe
in the unlucky ones, hmm?
I have to, Mr. Turner,
or I'd go out of my mind.
