I CAME INTO THIS WORLD OUT OF LUCK,

AND WE ALL KNOW A MAN NEEDS LUCK.

BECOMING A SHERIFF WAS THE FIRST GOOD THING

TO COME MY WAY--

A PRETTY LAID-BACK JOB JUST OUTSIDE

OF COLBY UNIVERSITY IN NORTH CAROLINA,

THE UNIVERSITY BEING THE PRIMARY MONEY TREE

AND ACADEMIC PLAYGROUND...

FOR THE OFFSPRING OF THE RICH AND POWERFUL.

NOTHING THAT REQUIRED ANY REAL POLICE WORK.

MOSTLY FRAT PARTIES, NOISE COMPLAINTS

AND AN OCCASIONAL DUI.

AT LEAST THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS

UNTIL I GOT THAT CALL FROM DEAN COMYN.

WE'VE HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH ONE OF OUR STUDENTS HERE.

OVERDOSE.

ISN'T THAT A MEDICAL PROBLEM ?

HER MOTHER SEEMS TO FEEL THAT IT'S CRIMINAL.

I'M SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND OUR POSITION HERE.

THIS THING DOES HAVE TO BE INVESTIGATED.

SENSITIVELY.

DELICATELY.

RIGHT. LIKE OLD SHERIFF PERKINS WOULD HAVE DONE.

WELL.

I'M SURE THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL...

TO NAME A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT,

I'LL BE ABLE TO REPORT WHAT A FINE JOB

YOU HAVE DONE AS ACTING SHERIFF...

FOR US.

YOU GODDAMNED RICH GIRLS. YOU THINK YOU OWN THE WORLD.

'CAUSE WHENEVER YOU MESS UP, YOUR DADDY JUST WRITES A CHECK.

WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOUR DAUGHTER.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, MRS. CAMPBELL.

YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ?

YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID ?

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ENOUGH.

THIS BITCH TRIED TO KILL MY DAUGHTER.

SHE'S LYING IN THE HOSPITAL.

SHE CAN'T TALK. SHE CAN'T MOVE.

SHE CAN'T EVEN OPEN HER LITTLE EYES.

ALICIA'S HER ONLY CHILD, SO--

BUT SHE'S ACTING LIKE IT'S ALL OUR FAULT.

SHE WAS OUR FRIEND.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SORRY WE ARE.

OKAY, WELL--

WHY DON'T Y'ALL JUST TELL ME WHAT, UH,

WHAT HAPPENED.

WE WERE HAVING A PARTY,

AND ALICIA WAS DRINKING.

SHE WAS SO LOADED.

SHE WANTED TO GET HIGH.

OOPS. IT'S--

IT'S ALL RIGHT. I AIN'T GOING TO BUST Y'ALL.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN.

LIKE I WAS SAYING, SHE WANTED TO DO SOME COKE.

AND, UM,

I REMEMBER HEARING SOMEONE DOWNSTAIRS

MAKING A LOT OF NOISE.

SHE WAS JONESIN',

AND SHE THOUGHT THERE WAS STUFF HIDDEN IN THE GUEST ROOM.

SHE WAS TEARING THE ROOM APART.

SHE COULDN'T FIND ANY, SO I LEFT.

UH, WHAT TIME WAS THIS ?

00.

OKAY.

GO ON. THE PARTY HAD BROKEN UP,

AND HADS AND I WERE UPSTAIRS CLEANING UP.

SHE WENT TO BED,

AND I WENT DOWNSTAIRS TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

AND I HEARD THIS-- THIS CRASH.

WHEN ?

I DON'T KNOW. 2:15, MAYBE.

AND I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM AND I FOUND HER, AND--

I YELLED UP TO HADLEY TO CALL STUDENT HEALTH. HADLEY !

AND I TRIED TO GIVE HER MOUTH-TO-MOUTH

AND I TRIED TO REVIVE HER, BUT--

I JUST, UM-- I COULDN'T.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL 911 ?

WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE--

BECAUSE STUDENT HEALTH IS...

DOWN THE STREET FROM OUR HOUSE,

AND THEY HAVE A DOCTOR ON CALL 24 HOURS.

SO, WE THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO GET HELP... FASTER.

UH-HUH.

OKAY. WELL, UH--

I GUESS I JUST NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCENE.

MULTICOLORED PAPER.

I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.

Y'ALL DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING IN HERE, NOW, DID YOU ?

MOVE ANYTHING AROUND ? NO.

WHAT'S IN THERE ?

THE LIBRARY-- ALICIA'S ROOM.

SHE KIND OF MOVED IN ON US.

UM-- ALL RIGHT. I GUESS I'LL CALL Y'ALL IF, UH,

IF I NEED ANYTHING ELSE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M SORRY. WE DON'T ALLOW FLOWERS IN ICU.

LEAD, FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.

THESE EIGHT WORDS WILL BE THE FOCUS

OF OUR LAST SEMESTER TOGETHER...

AND HOW THEY AFFECT BEHAVIOR PATTERNS

IN THE MODERN AMERICAN SOCIETY,

NOT ONLY MACROCOSMICALLY IN THE SO-CALLED REAL WORLD, YOU KNOW,

DO YOU KNOW ?

BUT IN THE MICROCOSM OF THE CLASSROOM AND THE UNIVERSITY.

FIELD-RESEARCH PROJECTS ON THE TOPIC...

WILL COMPRISE 80 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.

PROJECTS TO BE PRESENTED ORALLY THE LAST WEEK OF CLASS.

ORALLY ?

PERSONALLY, I DO NOT LIKE TO SWALLOW.

I KNOW. IT TOTALLY WEARS THE ENAMEL OFF MY TEETH.

I LEARNED THIS NEW DRIBBLING TECHNIQUE

WHERE YOU LET IT SPILL OUT THE SIDES.

I'M SORRY. CAN YOU PLEASE BE QUIET ?

EXCUSE ME ?

SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO LEARN. YOU WILL WORK IN PAIRS.

PAIRS ? BUT, PROFESSOR, IF THE TOPIC IS...

LEAD, FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY,

SHOULDN'T WE BE WORKING IN TEAMS OF THREE ?

NO.

I'LL PAIR YOU UP MYSELF, THANK YOU.

I'M ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN.

WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS IN CLASS, OKAY ?

HADLEY, BUT-- I REALLY THINK--

I'LL DO MY HALF, YOU DO YOURS, THEN WE'LL MEET TOWARDS THE END.

BUT WE HAVE ACTUAL PLACES THAT WE NEED TO VISIT TOGETHER.

AND IF OUR DATA DOESN'T CORROBORATE--

WE'LL DEAL WITH IT.

WHO'S THAT ? OOH.

ATTENTION, Kmart SHOPPERS.

THAT'S THE CHICK HADLEY GOT STUCK WITH.

CUTE. EW !

HADLEY, PLEASE. WE REALLY NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

NO, WE DON'T. BUT, I-I--

AIRPORT. YES, MA'AM.

I'M INTERESTED, HADLEY. YOU THINK YOU'VE EARNED THIS JOB ?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE HONEST.

YOU THINK I OUGHTA GIVE YOU THIS JOB ?

YEAH. YOU'RE MY FATHER.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN ?

I'M NOT RUNNING A GENERAL STORE IN KANSAS HERE.

THIS JOB HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH GETTING HIGH AND LISTENING TO MUSIC.

COME ON.

COME ON, DADDY.

HADLEY--

IT'S TIME YOU SHOWED INITIATIVE,

ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING ON YOUR OWN.

GET YOUR GRADES UP. THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS JOB.

WANT ME TO GET STRAIGHT A'S, I'LL GET STRAIGHT A'S.

WANT ME TO KISS YOUR ASS, I'LL--

I DON'T HAVE TO HIRE YOU. AND TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU,

I THINK YOU'D BE BETTER OFF IF I DIDN'T.

BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD I DO ?

WHY ARE YOU HERE ? I WANTED TO SEE HER.

SEE HER OR BE SEEN ?

ALICIA'S MY FRIEND. DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH.

I'M THE ONE WHO CALLED FOR HELP.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT GAVE HER DRUGS.

YOU'RE CRAZY.

IF I EVER SEE YOU NEAR HER AGAIN, I WILL KILL YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND ?

ALICIA CAMPBELL ?

ALICIA CAMPBELL ?

HI, ALICIA. COME ON IN.

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A LAWYER ?

YES, MA'AM.

WELL...

I HAVE TO ADMIT, YOUR GRADES ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE.

THANK YOU. HOW NICE OF YOU TO SAY.

I SEE HERE THAT YOU'VE BEEN IN THE WORK-STUDY PROGRAM

SINCE YOUR FRESHMAN YEAR.

YES, MA'AM. HOW YOU MANAGING ?

I JUST TRY AND WORK HARD.

YOUR PARENTS HELP YOU OUT ?

WELL, UM, MY FATHER'S NOT AROUND, SO, UH--
