00:00The board has voted to close the following 23 schools.
00:09These have chosen! You should be ashamed!
00:14I hear Whitman needs a new history teacher.
00:17As in Whitman State Penn?
00:18I'm not a rookie.
00:21Enough!
00:22Welcome to Whitman.
00:23Suddenly I'm teaching math after a career as a science teacher.
00:26We can barely buy books around here.
00:30You're a rugger?
00:33Do you play?
00:35New friends in rugby.
00:37What do you mean you're going to start a rugby team?
00:39I'm going to try.
00:41Rugby? It's like a wussy British version of football.
00:45You're going to practice in jeans?
00:46I'm running from 5-0 just finding these.

01:00You know what happened to people that play with my pavement, right?
01:05The secret to training in life?
01:07Difficulties, setbacks.
01:09Always moving forward.
01:11We need this team.
01:13Thanks for having my back.
01:15It's my job, isn't it?
01:16There's always another kid coming along who needs our help.
01:23We've come a long way together.
01:25You showed up.
01:25You're prepared.
01:26I'm so proud of you.
01:28Now let's go!
01:33Seven has one.
01:34One, two, three, two!
01:35One, two, three!
01:43Yo, coach.
01:44Blow the whistle.
01:45Let's play.
01:46Let's play.
01:47You
