Prem Patel of Jersey City
has dominated this contest

- [presenter 2] Absolutely.

on everyone's mind here today is,

"Can this youngster win it all?"

00:08:52,001 --> 00:08:53,251

172
00:08:53,251 --> 00:08:54,876
No? No questions.
173
00:08:54,876 --> 00:08:57,084
So... [clears throat] ...I'm so excited.
174
00:08:57,084 --> 00:09:00,793
This year we have some 12-year-olds
joining our high school class.
175
00:09:00,793 --> 00:09:03,626
We have Prim Patel. Did I say that right?
176
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:05,626
It's, uh, Prem, like name.
177
00:09:05,626 --> 00:09:06,543
- Prim.
- Prem.

- Prahahaha.
- Perfect.
181
00:09:10,209 --> 00:09:13,418
Okeydokey. And we have Claire Beauséjour.
182
00:09:13,418 --> 00:09:17,626
You two are the only junior high students
who passed the entrance exam.
183
00:09:17,626 --> 00:09:19,251
You must be quite the dynamic duo.
184
00:09:19,251 --> 00:09:20,918
- Affirmative.
- Yep.
185
00:09:20,918 --> 00:09:23,418
[Ms. Sage]
Well, who knows what time it is?
186
00:09:24,584 --> 00:09:26,293
It's time for our first math quiz!
187
00:09:26,293 --> 00:09:27,376
[chuckles]
188
00:09:27,376 --> 00:09:30,709
Oh, and listen, for those of you
who are worried about grades,
189
00:09:30,709 --> 00:09:33,084
I make a deal with all of my classes.
190
00:09:33,084 --> 00:09:34,876
Does anyone from last year remember?
191
00:09:34,876 --> 00:09:36,001
Anyone?
192
00:09:36,001 --> 00:09:37,584
You know, my deal that I make?

[grunts] Mercedes?
194
00:09:41,043 --> 00:09:43,334
If the Mathlympics team
finishes in the top three,
195
00:09:43,334 --> 00:09:45,293
everyone on it gets an automatic A.
196
00:09:45,293 --> 00:09:48,459
That's right.
It was so much fun last year, by the way.
197
00:09:48,459 --> 00:09:51,251
- Ma'am, we got destroyed. Like, dead last.
- Winning isn't everything.
198
00:09:51,251 --> 00:09:53,793
Unless you need that A, right?
You literally just said--
199
00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:56,668
This is our year,
because we're hosting the event.

201

at Olive Garden after we lose?
202
00:10:02,376 --> 00:10:07,126
Uh, well, this year... [chuckles] ...um,
our budget includes Taco Bell.
203
00:10:07,126 --> 00:10:09,293
- Is that as punishment?
- No, no. Now, no.
204
00:10:09,293 --> 00:10:11,126
You don't have to write this down.
205
00:10:12,209 --> 00:10:16,334
Okay. On your marks, get set, solve!

All righty. Oh!
208
00:10:51,876 --> 00:10:54,834
Okay, everybody,
for your first homework assignment,
209
00:10:54,834 --> 00:10:59,376
what I want you to do is write an equation
with you as the solution. Okay?
210
00:10:59,376 --> 00:11:02,501
And then you work backwards
to show how all the elements of your life
211
00:11:02,501 --> 00:11:03,584
make up who you are.
212
00:11:03,584 --> 00:11:07,043
It's gonna be so much fun. So, really,
have a lot of fun with it. Okay?
213
00:11:07,043 --> 00:11:08,793
And you might even surprise yourself.
214
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:09,709

Ronda was measuring a diuretic
for a patient,
293
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:39,751

instead of cubic centimeters.

"Honey, he's gonna pee forever."

- What was he known for?
- Known for?
313

- I mean, was he smart?
- Definitely, but he wasn't a math guy.

- [sighs] There it is.

and how he sounded.

Okay. [chuckles]
336
00:16:44,584 --> 00:16:49,584
So, when I was in nursing school,
we used to go dancing on the weekends.
337
00:16:50,168 --> 00:16:53,751
My girlfriends told me about this place.
It was poppin'.
338
00:16:59,793 --> 00:17:03,001
[mother] And the Leopard Lounge had
this thing called Freestyle Tuesdays.

Well, some Tuesdays. Not if we had exams.
341
00:17:06,584 --> 00:17:08,293
I don't need to explain myself.
342
00:17:08,293 --> 00:17:09,834
Anyway, you were at the club.
343
00:17:09,834 --> 00:17:12,376
We were at the club,
and my girlfriends were saying...
344
00:17:12,376 --> 00:17:14,834
This emcee's an underground legend.
345
00:17:14,834 --> 00:17:16,793
- Blah, blah, blah, blah.
- Blah, blah.
346
00:17:16,793 --> 00:17:18,334
- Blah, blah. [chuckles]
- Why are they...
347
00:17:18,334 --> 00:17:19,626
I wasn't really listening.
348
00:17:19,626 --> 00:17:23,126
- Blah, blah, blah.
- Blah, blah, blah, blah.
349
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:25,751
I had a lot on my mind, like school--
350
00:17:25,751 --> 00:17:28,001
Priya, stop thinking about Doug. Okay?
351
00:17:28,001 --> 00:17:30,001
It's over. He's not even that cute.
352
00:17:30,001 --> 00:17:31,418
Who's Doug?
353
00:17:31,418 --> 00:17:33,501
Who? I don't know.
I can't really remember--
354
00:17:33,501 --> 00:17:36,709
Good thing we stopped you
from getting that tattoo of his name, huh?
355
00:17:36,709 --> 00:17:38,709
We literally saved your butt.
356
00:17:50,251 --> 00:17:52,751
[friend 1] Hey, girl.
We'll go grab our drinks.
357
00:17:54,793 --> 00:17:58,334
So, we get in, and we're waiting
for the show to start when--
358
00:17:58,334 --> 00:17:59,751
[person] Excuse me.
359
00:17:59,751 --> 00:18:01,626
["My Heart Will Go On" playing]
360
00:18:06,834 --> 00:18:09,626
I don't have a line.
I just wanted to meet you.
361
00:18:12,001 --> 00:18:13,293
My name's Suresh.
362
00:18:14,668 --> 00:18:16,251
- I'm not interested.
- [song stops]
363
00:18:16,251 --> 00:18:18,626
- Okay. [chuckles]
- That's what you said to Dad?
364
00:18:18,626 --> 00:18:20,418
I didn't feel like being hit on.
365
00:18:20,418 --> 00:18:22,334
- Would you like to have a drink?
- No.
366
00:18:22,334 --> 00:18:24,751
I don't drink anything ever.
367
00:18:24,751 --> 00:18:26,793
- Then why are you in a nightclub?
- Thank you. Bye.
368
00:18:26,793 --> 00:18:28,376
I wanna walk away. I really do.
369
00:18:28,376 --> 00:18:30,751
- Please do.
- Yes. You've set a clear boundary.
370
00:18:30,751 --> 00:18:33,626
The only problem is
you're the prettiest girl in the room.
371
00:18:33,626 --> 00:18:36,001
- Oh?
- And I just have this thing inside of me
372
00:18:36,001 --> 00:18:37,876
that also tells me that
you're the smartest.
373
00:18:37,876 --> 00:18:41,168
Like you probably got a--
What, 1550 on the SATs?
374
00:18:41,168 --> 00:18:42,251
[scoffs] Excuse me?
375
00:18:42,251 --> 00:18:43,751
- 1600, see?
- Thank you.
376
00:18:43,751 --> 00:18:46,376
- I went low so that I--
- How did you know I was smart?
377
00:18:46,376 --> 00:18:50,043
I could tell from your footwear,
'cause it's very sensible for a nightclub.
378
00:18:50,043 --> 00:18:51,709
- Also, if it gets cold...
- [Priya] Uh-huh.
379
00:18:51,709 --> 00:18:54,376
...you've got the turtleneck motif.
380
00:18:54,376 --> 00:18:55,834
- It's mesh.
- Mm-hmm.
381
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:58,459
Mom, don't shut him down.
You need to make a baby.
382
00:18:58,459 --> 00:19:02,293
Listen, I got a thing to do, but if you
change your mind about that drink--
383
00:19:02,293 --> 00:19:04,584
- Don't hold your breath.
- You remind me of my mother.
384
00:19:04,584 --> 00:19:05,793
I love you. Goodbye.
385
00:19:05,793 --> 00:19:07,709
So cold.
386
00:19:07,709 --> 00:19:10,043
Well, yeah,
'cause you know he's your dad now.
387
00:19:10,043 --> 00:19:13,001
For all I knew back then,
he could've been a psycho axe murderer.
388
00:19:13,001 --> 00:19:14,251
So dark.
389
00:19:14,251 --> 00:19:17,001
It happened.
2000s were a very dangerous time.
390
00:19:17,001 --> 00:19:18,918
- [crowd cheering]
- [deejay] Ladies and gentlemen,
391
00:19:18,918 --> 00:19:22,751
please welcome to the stage
the World's Best Emcee.
392
00:19:22,751 --> 00:19:25,126
- Let's make some noise.
- [crowd] Whoo!
393
00:19:25,126 --> 00:19:27,959
It's him. It's the legendary emcee.
394
00:19:28,584 --> 00:19:31,084
He's gonna use his music
to melt your cold heart.
395
00:19:31,084 --> 00:19:33,543
- [phone ringing]
- Hmm?
396
00:19:33,543 --> 00:19:34,876
No, wait. What are you doing?
397
00:19:35,709 --> 00:19:36,834
Don't you answer that.
398
00:19:37,959 --> 00:19:39,501
No, Mom. Mom!
399
00:19:39,501 --> 00:19:41,793
- [Doug] ...what to do, but you were gone.
- Doug, listen.
400
00:19:41,793 --> 00:19:42,876
You're so checked out.
401
00:19:42,876 --> 00:19:44,501
I can't believe you missed the show.
402
00:19:44,501 --> 00:19:46,918
- I can't believe you're so judgy.
-Are you listening to me?
403
00:19:46,918 --> 00:19:50,584
Doug, I'm sorry. I think I just
fell in love with the idea of you.
404
00:19:50,584 --> 00:19:52,793
But you have no culture, Doug.
405
00:19:52,793 --> 00:19:55,543
Name all four members of Destiny's Child.
406
00:19:57,126 --> 00:19:59,751

on Destiny's Child.

but my night was a bust.

Tell me about it.
412
00:20:08,709 --> 00:20:10,543

how great he was.

about performing here tonight.

He was an emcee.
1233
01:01:18,543 --> 01:01:21,001
- Maybe you saw him?
- A lot of people perform here, kid.
1234
01:01:21,001 --> 01:01:22,459
But he was an underground legend.
1235
01:01:22,459 --> 01:01:25,626
The best rapper in the city,
maybe even the whole world.
1236
01:01:25,626 --> 01:01:27,834
Sick. Can he do a set here tonight?
1237
01:01:28,626 --> 01:01:30,251
No, he can't.
1238
01:01:32,751 --> 01:01:34,126
- [sighs]
- Wait.
1239
01:01:35,668 --> 01:01:37,418
You're Suresh's kid, aren't you?
1240
01:01:38,168 --> 01:01:40,001
Man, Suresh.
1241
01:01:40,001 --> 01:01:41,876
[laughs] Nobody did it better.
1242
01:01:41,876 --> 01:01:43,126
So he really was here.
1243
01:01:43,126 --> 01:01:45,626
[chuckles] Yeah, he was here all the time.
1244
01:01:45,626 --> 01:01:47,251
Man never knew how to shut up.
1245
01:01:47,251 --> 01:01:48,793
- [all chuckle]
- That's definitely him.
1246
01:01:48,793 --> 01:01:50,126
Yeah? [chuckles]
1247
01:01:51,001 --> 01:01:52,168
I heard that he...
1248
01:01:54,834 --> 01:01:55,834
I'm sorry.
1249
01:01:57,334 --> 01:01:59,959
Hey. I-I have a picture of him down there.
You wanna see it?
1250
01:01:59,959 --> 01:02:01,043
Yeah.
1251
01:02:02,876 --> 01:02:04,501
[bartender sighs] Yeah.
1252
01:02:06,168 --> 01:02:07,751
What's this?
1253
01:02:07,751 --> 01:02:10,043
[bartender]
That's your dad doing his thing.
1254
01:02:10,793 --> 01:02:12,376
But he was an emcee.
1255
01:02:12,376 --> 01:02:14,126
Oh, I know. [chuckles]
1256
01:02:14,126 --> 01:02:16,251
We worked together for five years.
1257
01:02:16,751 --> 01:02:18,584
He talked a better game than anyone.
1258
01:02:18,584 --> 01:02:21,293
And his favorite thing
to talk about was hip-hop.
1259
01:02:21,293 --> 01:02:23,834
[Suresh] Nas had Primo. Pac had Dre.
1260
01:02:23,834 --> 01:02:26,001

1261

is not gonna age well.

Listen, I'm the expert, okay?
1267
01:02:39,584 --> 01:02:42,751
And I'll tell you all, I'm gonna be
at the top of the list one day.
1268
01:02:42,751 --> 01:02:44,793
Yo, Skee-Lo. One more.
1269
01:02:44,793 --> 01:02:45,876
I've been waiting.
1270
01:02:45,876 --> 01:02:48,543
Fine, but only because I'm scared of you.
1271
01:02:49,584 --> 01:02:50,584
Dad?
1272
01:02:50,584 --> 01:02:52,084
Suresh had big dreams.
1273
01:02:52,084 --> 01:02:54,376
The way he talked about it,
it was like he was his own hype man.
1274
01:02:54,376 --> 01:02:55,751
All right, grumpy. Here you go.
1275
01:02:55,751 --> 01:02:57,584
This one's on me because I made you wait.
1276
01:02:57,584 --> 01:02:58,668
But just so you know,
1277
01:02:58,668 --> 01:03:02,334
the man pouring you your drink right now
is gonna be a world-famous rapper.
1278
01:03:02,334 --> 01:03:03,418

Oh, you laugh.

But I've been grinding on my rhymes.
1281
01:03:06,168 --> 01:03:08,293
I will be doing shows.
I'm gonna do features.
1282
01:03:08,293 --> 01:03:09,584
I'll put out a album.
1283
01:03:09,584 --> 01:03:13,251
And everything in this book will make me
the World's Best Emcee. Okay?
1284
01:03:13,251 --> 01:03:14,334
You heard it here first.
1285
01:03:14,334 --> 01:03:15,418
Hey, Corey.
1286
01:03:15,418 --> 01:03:17,418
Make your next move your best move, huh?
1287
01:03:17,418 --> 01:03:20,043
- Put me on tonight.
- I can't do it. I need you back here.
1288
01:03:20,043 --> 01:03:22,668
- We have that bachelor party later.
- [sighs]
1289
01:03:22,668 --> 01:03:24,626
[Corey] I should've put him on too.
1290
01:03:24,626 --> 01:03:27,668
I mean, I would see him at open mics
after work with the fellas.
1291
01:03:27,668 --> 01:03:29,584
- He had skills.
- But what happened?
1292
01:03:29,584 --> 01:03:31,293
[Corey] Well, nothing happened.
1293
01:03:31,293 --> 01:03:34,501
One day he quit, and I heard he moved
to Jersey and settled down, you know?
1294
01:03:34,501 --> 01:03:35,501
Typical story.
1295

[glass shattering]
1296
01:03:36,834 --> 01:03:39,293
- Yo, Suresh. Can you get that for me?
- Yes, sir. One second.
1297
01:03:39,293 --> 01:03:40,918
- I'm leaking genius over here.
- [sighs]

Oh, right.

and he drops it on the ground.
1305

Well done. I got it. I got it.

You're not getting another one.
1307

I'm gonna get carpal tunnels.

[Gabe] What does that dude even know
about rap anyways?
1310
01:04:13,001 --> 01:04:14,876
- He's just some bartender.
- Gabe!
1311
01:04:14,876 --> 01:04:16,959
[Gabe] Which is a great job obviously.

Yeah, my dad's legit into camping. Like--

[Mercedes] See? It doesn't mean anything.
1317
01:04:30,334 --> 01:04:31,418
He failed.

It means that's a part of my equation.
