Listen, Paul, we convince a kid to stop gangbanging, all we do is create a void.

And unless we fill that void with somethin' better, we're gonna lose 'em. 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? - You wanna start a football team? - Exactly. Sean, look at them. Our whole system's designed to prevent them from making contact. Our whole system right now is a joke. Malcolm, you're not buying into this, are you? Seventy-five percent of our kids end up back in jail. How much worse could it be? Well, who are they gonna play against? I'll find 'em high school teams to play. Wait a minute, you wanna take 'em out of the camp? You really think you can trust these kids? Not now, no. But if they were a football team... Oh, come on, Sean. It's impossible. Then let's try the impossible, because the possible just ain't workin'. Paul, we've got to give these kids a target and we've gotta fill that void. You played football, didn't you? Defensive end. Second Team All League. All right, we'll give it a try. But your neck is way out on this.
