Walkout

Sal Castro:
It's a beautiful day to be a Chicano!

Paula Crisostomo:
It's like the Montgomery bus boycott! [chatter amongst the group] It's like Montgomery! You know Dr. King got everybody to boycott buses, right?

Vickie Castro:
Yeah! And sessions and boycotting - great!

Tanya Mount:
But this about schools, okay?

Paula Crisostomo:
So, let's boycott!

David Sanchez:
The schools?

Paula Crisostomo:
Why not?

Harry Gamboa:
That's completely different!

Paula Crisostomo:
No, it's not! It's exactly the same. We get treated like second class citizens!

Tanya Mount:
Guys, are we talking about buses here or what?

Paula Crisostomo:
Guys, our schools are the back of the bus!

Moctesuma Esparza:
Boycott the schools?

Paula Crisostomo:
Yes!

Harry Gamboa:
That's not a good idea!

Moctesuma Esparza:
Oh it isn't?

Harry Gamboa:
No! You wanna know why?

Moctesuma Esparza:
Boycott the schools?

Paula Crisostomo:
Yes!

Harry Gamboa:
That's not a good idea!

Moctesuma Esparza:
Oh it isn't?

Harry Gamboa:
No! You wanna know why? Because they don't give a *sh*t* if these kids go to school or not!

Moctesuma Esparza:
Actually, they do! ADA - Average Daily Attendance!

Paula Crisostomo:
They don't get paid if we don't go to school!

Paula Crisostomo:
Hey, how'd it go?

Bobby Verdugo:
This is what they told me: " You have a big future ahead of you."

Paula Crisostomo:
That's good!

Bobby Verdugo:
In the art world.

Yoli Rios:
Yeah, industrial arts.

Bobby Verdugo:
Yeah, nice way to say car mechanic.

Yoli Rios:
He told me secretary. There's no nice way to say that.

Paula Crisostomo:
Well, didn't he offer junior college?

Paula Crisostomo:
The police know who we are, they know what we're up to. That's why they closed down our pina... Somebody here's talking to them.

Moctesuma Esparza:
On behalf of all the outside agitators in this room, I'd like to send a special message to the informant... Que viva la raza! [All] Que viva la raza!

Bobby Verdugo:
[filling out questionnaire] Do you think you're going to graduate? pffft - Hell no!

Paula Crisostomo:
Why not?

Bobby Verdugo:
Not. Why not?

Paula Crisostomo:
I'm serious Bobby.

Bobby Verdugo:
What is the point.

Sal Castro:
Chicano! [All] Power!
