 Rain Pryor Quotation"I'm Black and I'm Jewish. Do you know what that means? I have pride, but I'm guilty about it!" Movie Title: Head of the Class (1986) as T.J. Jones: T.J. Jones : Hey, I'm T.J. Class: Hi, T.J. T.J. Jones : What is this? An "AA" Meeting Sarah Nevins : [practicing her greeting before T.J. Walks in] Hi, T.J. Glad to see you. Welcome T.J., I'm Here to Help. Hey T.J. What it is! T.J. Jones : Same song, Second Verse. Miss Meara got this thing about my attitude. Wants me to turn into miss peppy pants like you. Sarah Nevins : You know T.J., I bet we have a lot more in common than you think. T.J. Jones : Like what, beside we're both breathing. Sarah Nevins : Well, I like movies. T.J. Jones : Too long, I watch TV. Sarah Nevins : I love a nice, juicy Hamburger. T.J. Jones : Hot Dogs are better Sarah Nevins : A summer day T.J. Jones : Too hot, Spring. Sarah Nevins : [Arguing] Magic Johnson T.J. Jones : Michael Jordan Sarah Nevins : Alice Walker T.J. Jones : Langston Hughes Sarah Nevins : Janet Jackson T.J. Jones : Latoya Sarah Nevins : Wait a Minute, I heard something! T.J. Jones : Huh? Sarah Nevins : I heard you say Langston Hughes. He's a poet, you read poetry. T.J. Jones : So what! Just because I'm in the boneheaded class doesn't mean I don't read or write. Sarah Nevins : You write poetry too? T.J. Jones : I didn't say that! Sarah Nevins : You didn't deny it! Come on T.J. read me something of yours. T.J. Jones : You don't read it baby, you rap it! Sarah Nevins : So rap it! T.J. Jones : [Reacting to hearing Billy sending his guests to the roof] Um, Billy, you want us to go onto the roof? Great party, but I could have done this at home! T.J. Jones : [before T.J. starts her rap] You really want to hear this? Sarah Nevins : Yeah! T.J. Jones : [rapping] Ok, Girl in the streets, no clothes and no heat. A crazy outlook, a torn up book, but she can compete. Girl on fire with her desire seeing stars there and bars there. Should go much higher. That's enough! Sarah Nevins : T.J. what are you stopping for? T.J. Jones : What are you pretending to be intrested for? Sarah Nevins : I am intrested. You have something to say! T.J. Jones : No one cares what I have to say! Sarah Nevins : How do you know that? T.J. Jones : Because of where they put me. In the sit-down-and-shut-up class! Sarah Nevins : Remedial? Sarah Nevins : [catching up with T.J. in the hallway] Oh, T.J. I have been looking for you. T.J. Jones : Yeah,well Thanks for nothing, man. That action in your class today was a total disaster. You really know how to make a person feel like sludge Sarah Nevins : [angrily] Wait a minute! T.J., I thought it would be nice for you. You know you were welcome to stay for the whole class. T.J. Jones : Well, isn't that a dream come true. Sit in a nice, clean desk with no dirty words carved in it, everyone dressed like it was Easter Sunday, and a teacher who treats you better than your own mama. And a hour later, I get sent back to the real world and that's the last I see of Disneyland! Sarah Nevins : But that's not the way I meant it to be. You know you could be in a better class. You could be in I.H.P. T.J. Jones : Yeah, and Dr. Samuels could be Mr. Universe! Sarah Nevins : You know, you may have the personality of a Pit Bull, but one thing you are is intelligent, and I thought I could help you do something with that, and I'm sorry if I went about all wrong. T.J. Jones : Ok, well I'm sorry for making you feel like a mush-brain dweeb in front of your whole class! Sarah Nevins : Wait a minute! All right! Apology accepted! Friends? |
