Sean Porter: Listen, Paul, we convince a kid to stop gang banging, all we do is create a void. And unless we fill that void with something better, we're gonna lose 'em. Sean Porter: According to the teaching staff, the kids here have trouble being punctual, responding to authority, being a member of a team, and accepting criticism. What one activity can improve 'em on all these areas? Paul Higa: You want to start a football team? Sean Porter: Exactly. Paul Higa: Sean, look at them. Our who system's designed to prevent them from making contact. Sean Porter: Our whole system right now is a joke. Ted Dexter: Malcolm, you're not buying into this, are you? Malcolm Moore: Seventy-five percent of our kids end up back in jail. How much worse could it be? Ted Dexter: Well, who are they gonna play against? Sean Porter: I'll find 'em high school teams to play. Ted Dexter: Wait a minute, you wanna take 'em out of camp? You really think you can trust these kids? Sean Porter: Not now, no. But if they were a football team... Ted Dexter: Oh, c'mon Sean. It's impossible. Sean Porter: Then lets try the impossible, because the possible just ain't working. Sean Porter: Paul, we've got to give these kids a target and we've gotta fill that void. Sean Porter: You played football, didn't you? Paul Higa: Defensive end. Second Team All League. Paul Higa: Alright. we'll give it a try. But your neck is way out on this.
