Jesse's woodworking story

What happens

26:36–31:14

At another group meeting, Jesse recounts being inspired by Mr. Pike, his high school woodworking teacher. At first, Jesse slacked off on in Mr. Pike's class, but when questioned whether he could do any better, he eventually painstakingly created an intricate box. When asked what he did with it, Jesse says he gave it to his mother. When the group leader suggests "it's never too late", and that Jesse should take art classes, Jesse admits that he didn't really give the box to his mother, but traded it for an ounce of weed.
