00:03:12,956 -- 00:03:16,448
- Good evening, sir.
- What's up, gorgeous? Thank you.
2
00:03:21,231 -- 00:03:23,131
- Where are we at?
- A lot of action on Platinum.
3
00:03:23,200 -- 00:03:25,725
Move the line.
I want to hold the pointspread.
4
00:03:25,802 -- 00:03:28,202
All right, people, bring them up.
5
00:03:38,048 -- 00:03:42,576
How many times did the Lakers
play against the Celtics in the finals?
6
00:03:42,652 -- 00:03:43,744
Ten.
7
00:03:46,256 -- 00:03:49,089
Which Knick became
a United States senator?
8
00:03:50,694 -- 00:03:52,161
Bill Bradley.
9
00:03:54,431 -- 00:03:56,763
Hold up. It's the money calling.
10
00:03:59,102 -- 00:04:00,091
What it do?
11
00:04:00,170 -- 00:04:03,105
Yo, Tech, it's on. Midnight.
12
00:04:04,107 -- 00:04:05,870
Cool. I'll be there.
13
00:04:16,753 -- 00:04:20,849
- Hey.
- Dawg, it's going down tonight at midnight.
14
00:04:20,924 -- 00:04:24,087
Yo, man. I don't know about this.
15
00:04:24,594 -- 00:04:26,858
Come on, man. What is there to know?
You promised.
16
00:04:26,930 -- 00:04:28,522
I know I promised, man...
17
00:04:28,598 -- 00:04:29,963
Look, you owe me, man.
18
00:04:32,802 -- 00:04:34,167
You owe me.
19
00:04:35,105 -- 00:04:37,369
All right. All right. I'll be there.
20
00:04:37,440 -- 00:04:40,637
I'll see you there. Let's go.
21
00:04:53,056 -- 00:04:56,492
Pay attention, y'all, something about
to delight you. Watch your heads!
22
00:05:09,306 -- 00:05:10,967
Is that the money?
23
00:05:12,809 -- 00:05:14,174
Let's roll.
24
00:05:23,053 -- 00:05:25,021
Three grand on Platinum.
25
00:05:32,128 -- 00:05:35,859
Come on, hurry up!
Yo, I don't want to miss Jewelz! Come on!
26
00:06:06,062 -- 00:06:07,927
Three Gs on Platinum.
27
00:06:34,357 -- 00:06:35,688
All right, listen to me.
28
00:06:35,759 -- 00:06:38,728
I don't want you calling
every single foul this game, okay?
29
00:06:38,795 -- 00:06:41,093
This is street ball, not the NBA.
30
00:06:41,164 -- 00:06:42,256
- All right. I got you.
- All right.
31
00:06:42,332 -- 00:06:43,663
All right.
32
00:06:46,002 -- 00:06:50,462
What? Look at you. Come here, girl.
33
00:06:53,143 -- 00:06:54,405
Was it hard to get away?
34
00:06:54,477 -- 00:06:57,071
No. Being a partner of a law firm
has its perks.
35
00:06:57,147 -- 00:07:01,811
Of course, it does. Look at you.
Look at you. Come here.
36
00:07:02,318 -- 00:07:04,980
Damn. How is your mom?
37
00:07:05,054 -- 00:07:09,013
She was surprised
that I came all this way to see you.
38
00:07:09,559 -- 00:07:10,924
Of course.
39
00:07:11,294 -- 00:07:14,991
So what happened to dinner
and a quiet evening in?
40
00:07:15,064 -- 00:07:17,259
Well, I was thinking
that we could get dinner at my club.
41
00:07:17,333 -- 00:07:20,097
But there's something
I really want to show you first.
42
00:07:20,170 -- 00:07:23,037
- Okay.
- Right over there. Come on. Come on.
43
00:07:29,679 -- 00:07:32,944
Yo. I'm sorry I'm late. My class ran late.
44
00:07:34,517 -- 00:07:36,109
This is my man Cruise right here.
45
00:07:36,186 -- 00:07:41,214
This is Stretch, Double A, Big Man,
and you know Up.
46
00:07:41,291 -- 00:07:43,384
Hope you're worth the wait.
47
00:07:44,227 -- 00:07:46,821
Oh, snap. Is this a new ride?
48
00:07:46,896 -- 00:07:50,423
Oh, yeah. It's a graduation present
from my grandmother.
49
00:07:50,900 -- 00:07:52,026
Well, let's do the damn thing.
50
00:07:52,101 -- 00:07:54,296
- Yeah, come on.
- Oh, for sure.
51
00:07:56,105 -- 00:07:58,630
I don't care what anybody says
about Jewelz.
52
00:07:58,708 -- 00:08:00,505
- Yeah.
- This is our house tonight.
53
00:08:00,577 -- 00:08:02,204
We got your back.
54
00:08:03,246 -- 00:08:05,441
Enemy of the State, baby.
55
00:08:08,351 -- 00:08:11,809
Double A! Double A! Right here, baby!
Here! Hustle down!
56
00:08:12,622 -- 00:08:15,022
Hustle down! Open it up, Big man!
Get in the paint!
57
00:08:15,091 -- 00:08:18,618
That's my boy right there!
That's my boy right there! That's Tech!
58
00:08:18,695 -- 00:08:21,960
- Tech! Give Tech the ball, man!
- Cruise, I see you.
59
00:08:24,501 -- 00:08:26,696
Split them, Tech! Split them!
60
00:08:28,538 -- 00:08:30,529
Oh! New kid on the block!
61
00:08:32,475 -- 00:08:35,069
- The man is good.
- Yes, I know.
62
00:08:37,881 -- 00:08:40,145
Time to go to work.
Give them the business, baby.
63
00:08:40,216 -- 00:08:43,151
Here you go I.V. Yeah. Let me see that thing.
64
00:08:44,287 -- 00:08:47,051
- Okay. This isn't like the pros.
- No.
65
00:08:47,190 -- 00:08:50,057
Oh, oh! Putting on a show!
Putting on a show!
66
00:08:50,126 -- 00:08:51,684
What are the rules?
67
00:08:51,761 -- 00:08:54,423
Okay. The name of the game is 21, by ones.
68
00:08:54,497 -- 00:08:57,557
You get to 19,
your last shot is worth two, 21.
69
00:08:58,902 -- 00:09:02,167
Well, what about fouls,
traveling, stuff like that?
70
00:09:02,238 -- 00:09:05,139
This is street ball.
See, the players have a lot of leeway.
71
00:09:05,208 -- 00:09:07,768
Maybe they can razzle-dazzle,
overhand palm,
72
00:09:07,877 -- 00:09:11,074
but no four, five steps to the hole,
and no flagrant fouls.
73
00:09:11,147 -- 00:09:14,583
If they foul, they forfeit the game.
If they fight, they forfeit the game.
74
00:09:14,651 -- 00:09:18,018
And if they argue with any of my referees,
they forfeit the game.
75
00:09:18,087 -- 00:09:20,578
Other than that, it's good, clean fun.
76
00:09:22,358 -- 00:09:23,882
Dead ball! Dead ball!
77
00:09:27,697 -- 00:09:29,790
I'm off to a good start on that ass!
78
00:09:29,866 -- 00:09:31,094
Get off me!
79
00:09:31,501 -- 00:09:32,763
Ball in!
80
00:09:35,471 -- 00:09:37,439
- This is my house!
- Come get some of this, baby.
81
00:09:37,507 -- 00:09:38,565
Throw it, Tech! Over here, man!
82
00:09:38,641 -- 00:09:42,338
- I own this court, man! I own this.
- You got nothing, man.
83
00:09:43,246 -- 00:09:47,080
- There it is!
- Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!
84
00:09:47,150 -- 00:09:48,515
I got that.
85
00:09:50,486 -- 00:09:52,920
What did I say, man?
Don't turn this into a thing.
86
00:09:52,989 -- 00:09:54,786
Man, just 'cause you say it
don't make it right!
87
00:09:54,857 -- 00:09:58,418
Now, I came to break him,
and he gonna be broke! Come on.
88
00:09:58,628 -- 00:10:00,095
You got them, Tech.
89
00:10:00,530 -- 00:10:04,398
My turn now, baby boy. Yeah. Yeah.
90
00:10:13,376 -- 00:10:15,105
Oh, my God! The Violator!
91
00:10:18,348 -- 00:10:19,747
Help me out!
92
00:10:20,483 -- 00:10:21,711
Cruise!
93
00:10:24,020 -- 00:10:26,079
I taught him everything
he knows right here, ref.
94
00:10:39,202 -- 00:10:40,635
Yo, Tech, give it up.
95
00:10:40,703 -- 00:10:42,603
- What, now?
- They got nothing.
96
00:10:42,839 -- 00:10:45,137
- What, what now?
- Do something with it.
97
00:10:49,078 -- 00:10:50,306
Tech!
98
00:10:55,051 -- 00:10:57,019
17-15. We've got it.
99
00:10:57,086 -- 00:11:00,146
- I got Jewelz!
- Let's see some defense on here.
100
00:11:02,558 -- 00:11:05,686
Hey, they fouling. Ref, they foul...
101
00:11:05,762 -- 00:11:07,753
No fouls? No? Not in this game?
102
00:11:07,830 -- 00:11:10,663
All right, here we go! Here we go, let's push!
103
00:11:10,733 -- 00:11:13,930
Okay, pass the ball to Tech!
Tech, got that jumper!
104
00:11:24,080 -- 00:11:25,547
Where you at?
105
00:11:25,882 -- 00:11:28,646
Off their head! Off their head!
What the fuck?
106
00:11:36,192 -- 00:11:37,784
All right, baby!
107
00:11:38,428 -- 00:11:39,486
Yeah!
108
00:11:39,562 -- 00:11:42,292
Cruise! Bring the ball up man! Come on!
109
00:11:46,903 -- 00:11:48,234
Okay, that's what I'm talking about!
110
00:11:48,304 -- 00:11:52,035
- Come back! Come back down here.
- You got him. You got him.
111
00:11:56,913 -- 00:11:58,904
Who the hell is that kid?
112
00:11:59,916 -- 00:12:03,579
19-17. Two more points, we win. Let's do it!
113
00:12:03,653 -- 00:12:05,985
We have an upset here.
We have an upset in the making.
114
00:12:06,055 -- 00:12:07,750
Hold him! Hold him!
115
00:12:07,824 -- 00:12:10,918
Come on, Big Man. I'll make you big.
Come on.
116
00:12:15,264 -- 00:12:16,891
And two to us.
117
00:12:17,667 -- 00:12:21,034
Here we go, y'all! 19-18! Next basket wins!
118
00:12:21,838 -- 00:12:22,862
Let's go. Where you going?
119
00:12:22,939 -- 00:12:25,407
Where you going
with that weak-ass handle?
120
00:12:25,641 -- 00:12:26,938
Throw it!
121
00:12:29,011 -- 00:12:30,239
Come on, Ref!
122
00:12:30,513 -- 00:12:31,980
He's faking! Look at him!
123
00:12:32,048 -- 00:12:34,016
Man, watch the game!
124
00:12:34,083 -- 00:12:37,314
Go, Jewelz! Go, Jewelz!
125
00:12:37,386 -- 00:12:40,287
And it's a tied game, y'all.
But the game is 21.
126
00:12:40,356 -- 00:12:42,290
Go, Jewelz. Go, Jewelz.
127
00:12:42,358 -- 00:12:45,452
If he misses one, we can take these chumps!
128
00:12:45,528 -- 00:12:47,689
You turned this into a thing.
129
00:12:49,465 -- 00:12:51,763
Miss it! Miss it!
130
00:12:54,804 -- 00:12:56,772
19-up, y'all. 19-up.
131
00:12:56,839 -- 00:13:00,104
One time. One time. One time.
132
00:13:02,044 -- 00:13:04,808
Just miss it!
Come on, you're going to miss it!
133
00:13:04,881 -- 00:13:06,371
Just miss it!
134
00:13:06,849 -- 00:13:09,647
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!
Come back. Come back down here!
135
00:13:09,719 -- 00:13:11,311
Ball. Ball up.
136
00:13:11,387 -- 00:13:13,082
Here we go. We got this.
137
00:13:13,322 -- 00:13:14,914
Let's do it. Let's do it.
138
00:13:14,991 -- 00:13:16,891
Yo, Tech! Tech! Over here! Pass the ball!
139
00:13:16,959 -- 00:13:19,393
You got them, man!
140
00:13:19,462 -- 00:13:23,990
All right, Tech, shoot the ball!
Shoot! Tech, shoot!
141
00:13:25,234 -- 00:13:29,136
- Tech! Tech! Tech!
- Defense. Defense.
142
00:13:29,672 -- 00:13:31,435
And game!
143
00:13:39,282 -- 00:13:41,113
Defense! Come on!
144
00:13:41,184 -- 00:13:44,051
- Hey, right down there.
- Come on, end it, right here.
145
00:13:44,120 -- 00:13:46,714
Defense! Defense!
146
00:13:46,789 -- 00:13:49,155
- Come on, baby. Let's go now!
- Defense!
147
00:13:53,462 -- 00:13:54,759
Tech, go!
148
00:13:55,298 -- 00:13:56,959
Do that move, man!
149
00:14:22,992 -- 00:14:25,256
Y'all know we could really use
the win here, right?
150
00:14:25,328 -- 00:14:27,057
Come on, Big. Not today, man.
151
00:14:27,129 -- 00:14:28,687
What happens on the court
stays on the court.
152
00:14:28,764 -- 00:14:30,459
Yo man, I'm just saying.
153
00:14:30,533 -- 00:14:32,467
Ain't no "l" in "team", you hear me.
154
00:14:32,535 -- 00:14:35,732
Ain't no "we" in team neither, so you need
to chill out with all that B.S., man.
155
00:14:35,805 -- 00:14:38,330
When I say Platinum, y'all say Jewelz!
156
00:14:38,407 -- 00:14:39,533
- Platinum!
- Jewelz!
157
00:14:39,609 -- 00:14:40,735
- Platinum!
- Jewelz!
158
00:14:40,810 -- 00:14:43,040
When I say Platinum, y'all say Jewelz!
159
00:14:43,112 -- 00:14:44,306
- Platinum!
- Jewelz!
160
00:14:44,380 -- 00:14:45,540
- Platinum!
- Jewelz!
161
00:14:45,615 -- 00:14:47,139
Good game, man.
162
00:14:47,483 -- 00:14:50,247
Let me know when I have a bad one. Sucker.
163
00:14:50,319 -- 00:14:52,787
When I say Platinum, y'all say Jewelz!
164
00:14:52,889 -- 00:14:54,015
- Platinum!
- Jewelz!
165
00:14:54,090 -- 00:14:55,455
- Platinum!
- Jewelz!
166
00:14:55,524 -- 00:14:57,321
When I say Platinum, y'all say Jewelz!
167
00:14:57,393 -- 00:15:00,954
Yo, look, man. We took an "L",
but overall I think we did all right.
168
00:15:01,030 -- 00:15:03,464
Good ball movement. Good teamwork.
169
00:15:21,183 -- 00:15:23,151
Well, come on, you've got to love this.
170
00:15:23,219 -- 00:15:24,208
I'm impressed.
171
00:15:24,287 -- 00:15:26,949
Nice? See, Greek meets Urban.
172
00:15:27,023 -- 00:15:29,150
- It's hot, right?
- It's hot.
173
00:15:32,561 -- 00:15:34,586
So, this is your life now?
174
00:15:35,097 -- 00:15:39,557
This club
and underground basketball games?
175
00:15:39,869 -- 00:15:42,360
- It's a living.
- You were making a living.
176
00:15:42,438 -- 00:15:47,205
I was a sports agent in Los Angeles,
emphasis on the "lost".
177
00:15:47,276 -- 00:15:50,006
Yo, I was a doormat, Nikki.
178
00:15:50,079 -- 00:15:53,310
Look, the World Series and the NBA finals
179
00:15:53,382 -- 00:15:55,543
are the two most bet-on games
in the country.
180
00:15:55,618 -- 00:15:59,884
But I bet you that they're not all made
in legal houses in Las Vegas.
181
00:15:59,956 -- 00:16:03,722
See, at least this way, I'm giving these kids
an opportunity to make money
182
00:16:03,793 -- 00:16:05,920
doing what they love to do.
183
00:16:06,295 -- 00:16:10,925
- How much are you paying them?
- A G a player. Two, if they win.
184
00:16:12,134 -- 00:16:14,830
And you always know who's going to win?
185
00:16:15,104 -- 00:16:18,801
You don't think they always know
who's going to win in Las Vegas?
186
00:16:18,874 -- 00:16:23,311
Nikki, I didn't go to college to work
in some mailroom and answer phones.
187
00:16:23,913 -- 00:16:27,110
At least here, I run the place.
They don't run me.
188
00:16:45,901 -- 00:16:48,461
- Hey, Ma!
- Yeah?
189
00:16:52,375 -- 00:16:53,603
Hey, Ma.
190
00:16:56,912 -- 00:16:58,038
Hey.
191
00:16:59,548 -- 00:17:03,279
I got some milk and stuff from the store
192
00:17:03,352 -- 00:17:06,082
for Melanie and Malik
to have with their breakfast.
193
00:17:06,155 -- 00:17:09,716
- What's up with the candles?
- They turned off the lights.
194
00:17:10,793 -- 00:17:12,954
I thought Joe was gonna take care of that.
195
00:17:13,029 -- 00:17:14,519
Joe's in jail.
196
00:17:15,464 -- 00:17:17,227
What happened?
197
00:17:17,633 -- 00:17:20,602
They say he robbed a liquor store
or something.
198
00:17:20,669 -- 00:17:23,399
Whatever, he didn't pay the light bill.
199
00:17:25,708 -- 00:17:27,107
I made some extra cash,
200
00:17:27,176 -- 00:17:31,078
so, I'll take care of the lights tomorrow
before I go to class.
201
00:17:37,653 -- 00:17:39,280
You're a good son.
202
00:17:40,322 -- 00:17:42,916
I don't know what I'd do without you.
203
00:17:50,566 -- 00:17:52,466
I'm gonna go next door to Miss Waters,
204
00:17:52,535 -- 00:17:55,629
see if she'll let us put these groceries
in her fridge.
205
00:17:55,704 -- 00:17:57,968
You do that. I'm going to bed.
206
00:18:14,657 -- 00:18:15,885
Hey, Ma'Dere.
207
00:18:15,958 -- 00:18:17,823
How did your class go, baby?
208
00:18:17,893 -- 00:18:19,986
Good. What are you doing still up?
209
00:18:20,062 -- 00:18:23,554
You know I can't shut my eyes knowing
you're out there on that motorcycle.
210
00:18:23,632 -- 00:18:25,463
I don't know
why I bought that thing for you.
211
00:18:25,534 -- 00:18:27,365
It's gonna be the death of you!
212
00:18:27,436 -- 00:18:28,630
Oh, come on, now.
213
00:18:28,704 -- 00:18:32,140
You bought it for me because you love me,
you love me so much.
214
00:18:32,208 -- 00:18:34,335
Give me some sugar, woman.
215
00:18:36,645 -- 00:18:38,943
- Got some mail.
- Oh, yeah?
216
00:18:40,983 -- 00:18:44,111
- I'm gonna lay it down. Sleep tight, baby.
- Okay.
217
00:18:46,055 -- 00:18:50,014
Don't stay up too late.
You know you gotta work in the morning.
218
00:18:54,430 -- 00:18:55,727
Yeah.
219
00:19:22,691 -- 00:19:24,522
- Hey, Tech, what's up, man?
- What's up?
220
00:19:24,593 -- 00:19:26,026
I got one for you.
221
00:19:26,095 -- 00:19:29,030
Who was the first 76er
to become rookie of the year?
222
00:19:29,098 -- 00:19:32,033
- You got to do better than that.
- Who was it?
223
00:19:32,868 -- 00:19:36,531
- Your favorite player, Allen lverson.
- Wrong.
224
00:19:36,605 -- 00:19:41,372
I like A.I.'s crossover,
but Isiah Thomas is my favorite player.
225
00:19:41,443 -- 00:19:43,468
Deep from the "D".
226
00:19:43,546 -- 00:19:45,013
But am I right?
227
00:19:45,080 -- 00:19:47,674
All right, I'll give you...
I'll give you half a point for that one.
228
00:19:47,750 -- 00:19:50,184
- Hey, you wanna run one real quick?
- I can't, man. I'm late.
229
00:19:50,252 -- 00:19:51,310
Well, can I go with you?
230
00:19:51,387 -- 00:19:53,548
Look, aren't you supposed to be in school
or something, man?
231
00:19:53,622 -- 00:19:56,489
- This is summertime. School out.
- Damn.
232
00:19:57,459 -- 00:20:01,225
- Well, can we run one later?
- Yeah. Later.
233
00:20:11,907 -- 00:20:13,704
- You're late.
- Look, I'm sorry, man.
234
00:20:13,776 -- 00:20:16,506
I had to pay the light bill for my mom's.
235
00:20:20,883 -- 00:20:23,215
You're trying my patience, Tech.
236
00:20:23,619 -- 00:20:25,610
Now, they gave you the mornings off
237
00:20:25,688 -- 00:20:29,556
so you can get that GED thing,
so you can improve yourself.
238
00:20:29,625 -- 00:20:34,460
Because you need improvement.
So you can improve and get here on time.
239
00:20:34,897 -- 00:20:36,831
Look, I'm sorry, man. It won't happen again.
240
00:20:36,899 -- 00:20:38,491
Oh, I know it won't happen again.
241
00:20:38,567 -- 00:20:40,728
Just so you know, in case it does,
242
00:20:40,803 -- 00:20:43,363
you're gonna find yourself on the outside
looking in, bro.
243
00:20:43,439 -- 00:20:45,805
Improved or not.
244
00:20:45,874 -- 00:20:49,275
It won't, dawg. All right? I promise.
245
00:20:50,446 -- 00:20:52,107
Get out there and go to work, boy.
246
00:20:53,515 -- 00:20:55,676
What up, dawg superstar?
247
00:20:55,751 -- 00:21:01,656
Got my confirmation for the orientation
at California University of Los Angeles.
248
00:21:01,724 -- 00:21:06,127
- Congratulations, dawg. I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, man.
249
00:21:06,195 -- 00:21:08,459
Hey, check it.
I get two tickets to the orientation.
250
00:21:08,530 -- 00:21:11,499
And you know Ma'Dere ain't about to get
on a plane, so if you wanna roll...
251
00:21:11,567 -- 00:21:13,194
You ain't even gotta ask me twice.
252
00:21:13,269 -- 00:21:16,363
Then it's on and popping, man.
You and me in L. A?
253
00:21:16,438 -- 00:21:18,736
- Well, she's not ready.
- Please.
254
00:21:19,074 -- 00:21:22,703
- What's that?
- I'm caking you out for last night's game.
255
00:21:22,778 -- 00:21:24,609
Oh, no, man. Keep it.
256
00:21:25,281 -- 00:21:27,715
Man, this is $1,000 cash. Real money.
257
00:21:27,783 -- 00:21:31,082
Come on, man.
You know I didn't do it for the money.
258
00:21:31,587 -- 00:21:36,490
Look, Tech, as long as I've known you,
you've always had my back.
259
00:21:37,026 -- 00:21:40,928
Especially after Mom's died and I had
to move across town with Ma'Dere.
260
00:21:40,996 -- 00:21:43,590
Thanks a lot, man. I appreciate it.
261
00:21:44,433 -- 00:21:46,867
Hey, look. I'm about to go to the bathroom.
Hold it down.
262
00:21:46,935 -- 00:21:48,402
Go pinch that loaf, dawg.
263
00:21:48,470 -- 00:21:50,335
- Please.
- I've got your back.
264
00:21:55,344 -- 00:21:59,872
The white zone is for immediate loading
and unloading of passengers only.
265
00:21:59,948 -- 00:22:03,907
- So you got everything?
- Yeah. I think so.
266
00:22:04,553 -- 00:22:06,714
So you figure out the answer
to your question?
267
00:22:06,789 -- 00:22:10,919
I knew I wanted to be with you
when I met you in L.A. 10 years ago.
268
00:22:11,126 -- 00:22:13,720
So when am I going to see you again?
269
00:22:13,796 -- 00:22:17,288
When you get your butt on a plane
and move to L.A.,
270
00:22:17,366 -- 00:22:19,357
make an honest woman out of me.
271
00:22:19,435 -- 00:22:22,768
So you want me to give up everything
I've built here?
272
00:22:23,339 -- 00:22:28,333
I'll tell you like my dad told me.
"A fast horse don't run long."
273
00:22:28,410 -- 00:22:33,643
It's not about the run, Nikki.
It's about being able to be in the race.
274
00:22:34,183 -- 00:22:37,016
It's also about what you're trying to win.
275
00:23:04,780 -- 00:23:05,974
Yeah!
276
00:23:18,193 -- 00:23:19,558
Excuse me?
277
00:23:22,097 -- 00:23:24,395
Oh, snap.
278
00:23:26,802 -- 00:23:28,497
I probably look real stupid, huh?
279
00:23:28,570 -- 00:23:32,836
No, I'm not even laughing at you.
You know, getting my Mary J. Blige on.
280
00:23:32,908 -- 00:23:34,432
Okay. Okay.
281
00:23:34,510 -- 00:23:38,310
I was into Ice Cube,
so, today was a good day.
282
00:23:40,249 -- 00:23:43,377
- Weren't you at Vaughn's last night?
- Oh, my God! You were there?
283
00:23:43,452 -- 00:23:46,615
My team, Enemy of the State,
was running against Platinum.
284
00:23:46,688 -- 00:23:48,315
I didn't see you.
285
00:23:49,458 -- 00:23:51,483
- I'm Tech.
- Eboni.
286
00:23:52,060 -- 00:23:54,620
- Nice to meet you, Eboni.
- Likewise.
287
00:23:56,331 -- 00:23:57,423
So, what can I do for you?
288
00:23:57,499 -- 00:24:00,627
Well, some friends of mine
are having this tattoo party tonight,
289
00:24:00,702 -- 00:24:02,761
and I was wondering
if I could leave these flyers here?
290
00:24:02,838 -- 00:24:04,669
Say word? Put them wherever you want.
291
00:24:04,740 -- 00:24:08,801
Okay. You know you should come through.
It's going to be really nice.
292
00:24:09,311 -- 00:24:12,747
- Are you going to be there?
- Yeah, I could put your name on the list.
293
00:24:12,815 -- 00:24:14,578
Then I might have to make that happen.
294
00:24:14,650 -- 00:24:16,584
Hey. Yo, we gave them
the business last night.
295
00:24:16,652 -- 00:24:18,745
- Yeah, we showed up.
- Hey, y'all, check this.
296
00:24:18,821 -- 00:24:21,289
Hey, get what y'all wanna get.
Everything's on me.
297
00:24:21,356 -- 00:24:23,187
- Cool.
- You got to get that?
298
00:24:23,258 -- 00:24:26,421
Hey, let me get these
in a 10 and a half, all colors.
299
00:24:26,495 -- 00:24:29,123
- Make that real simple.
- Yeah.
300
00:24:32,134 -- 00:24:33,362
Jewelz.
301
00:24:34,570 -- 00:24:35,764
Tech.
302
00:24:36,705 -- 00:24:40,232
Is that you? I didn't know you worked here.
303
00:24:40,309 -- 00:24:44,302
This is so cool, because you're about
to come up on some serious commission.
304
00:24:44,379 -- 00:24:45,437
Yo, check this.
305
00:24:45,514 -- 00:24:50,247
After that spanking we gave y'all last night,
the honeys been blowing me up.
306
00:24:50,319 -- 00:24:53,413
- I wanna look right for them.
- Well, good for you.
307
00:25:03,966 -- 00:25:06,799
Look, this thing is not working, man,
so I gotta do it on the calculator.
308
00:25:06,869 -- 00:25:09,360
Count the paper I'm about to spend.
309
00:25:11,173 -- 00:25:13,573
You know what? Forget that.
Add it up in your head.
310
00:25:13,642 -- 00:25:16,577
My brother's girlfriend's sister
said you were in that GED class with her,
311
00:25:16,645 -- 00:25:18,840
so I know you've got it down.
312
00:25:20,916 -- 00:25:22,008
So...
313
00:25:23,385 -- 00:25:25,080
$125...
314
00:25:26,822 -- 00:25:29,450
- $35...
- Don't forget this.
315
00:25:34,296 -- 00:25:35,729
$125...
316
00:25:35,797 -- 00:25:39,426
Come on, man. What?
You don't know how to add or what not?
317
00:25:39,835 -- 00:25:41,359
Yo, I got this.
318
00:25:44,606 -- 00:25:46,233
All right, let's see what we've got.
319
00:25:46,308 -- 00:25:49,300
$125, $35, $20...
320
00:25:49,378 -- 00:25:51,403
That'll be $186.99.
321
00:25:51,880 -- 00:25:54,405
Oh, wait a minute. I forgot the tax.
322
00:25:55,951 -- 00:25:59,148
You know what? Forget that. I'm good.
323
00:25:59,221 -- 00:26:02,657
No, you only think you're good.
I proved that to you last night.
324
00:26:02,724 -- 00:26:07,559
Oh, yeah? But this isn't horseshoes.
This is street ball.
325
00:26:07,629 -- 00:26:10,928
You want to know who the winner is?
Count your paper at the end of the game.
326
00:26:10,999 -- 00:26:13,524
You and your man came up short.
327
00:26:13,602 -- 00:26:16,969
Got me messed up. Hey, man, we out.
328
00:26:36,525 -- 00:26:38,891
Yeah, but sure, you can't
let that cat Jewelz get to you, man.
329
00:26:38,961 -- 00:26:42,362
Forget Jewelz, man.
I'm worried about this GED test, man.
330
00:26:42,431 -- 00:26:45,264
- Christine, you got the usual for us?
- Yeah. $8.76.
331
00:26:45,334 -- 00:26:47,063
Please, it's on me.
332
00:26:47,869 -- 00:26:49,632
No, we're good.
333
00:26:49,705 -- 00:26:51,468
Yo, Vaughn, what's up, man?
334
00:26:51,540 -- 00:26:54,634
I didn't see you as the type of cat
that would be down here slumming with us.
335
00:26:54,710 -- 00:26:56,405
I don't slum, bro.
336
00:26:59,615 -- 00:27:00,980
So what you here for then?
337
00:27:01,049 -- 00:27:03,677
Calm down now,
and get your panties out your ass.
338
00:27:03,752 -- 00:27:06,778
I'm not here because you brought a ringer
to my game.
339
00:27:06,855 -- 00:27:08,823
I dropped the pointspread,
but I made out all right.
340
00:27:08,890 -- 00:27:10,357
Look, he's not a ringer, man.
341
00:27:10,425 -- 00:27:12,655
Don't talk to me like I'm other people, Tech.
342
00:27:12,728 -- 00:27:15,993
That is Noah Cruise,
point guard for Pershing.
343
00:27:16,064 -- 00:27:18,726
Named Mr. Basketball
by The Associated Press.
344
00:27:18,800 -- 00:27:20,324
Yeah. So I guess that's why we lost.
345
00:27:20,402 -- 00:27:23,303
No, I guess you lost
because of a serious lack of character.
346
00:27:23,372 -- 00:27:26,034
Character? Yeah, right.
347
00:27:27,976 -- 00:27:29,773
Damn right I'm right.
348
00:27:30,278 -- 00:27:32,803
You wanna blame somebody?
Look in the mirror.
349
00:27:32,881 -- 00:27:34,212
Oh, you're a technician.
350
00:27:34,282 -- 00:27:38,343
Yeah, see, you've got that little spin
and the crossover, and the off-the-foot,
351
00:27:38,420 -- 00:27:40,980
the off-the-elbow,
you got the stop-and-breathe,
352
00:27:41,056 -- 00:27:42,318
the entire package.
353
00:27:42,391 -- 00:27:45,986
Except you don't have the character
nor the discipline to be a team ball player.
354
00:27:46,061 -- 00:27:49,394
- And Jewelz got character?
- But Jewelz got greed on his side.
355
00:27:49,464 -- 00:27:52,524
See, Jewelz loves money too much
to let you win.
356
00:27:52,968 -- 00:27:56,404
So much that he even gave up
the winning shot because he understands
357
00:27:56,471 -- 00:27:59,668
that it is not about the points,
it is about the game.
358
00:27:59,741 -- 00:28:03,541
Now, your man Cruise here,
that brother got fundamentals.
359
00:28:03,612 -- 00:28:07,309
See, that's the difference between
street asphalt and NBA hardwood.
360
00:28:07,382 -- 00:28:10,180
You know what? I've lost my appetite, man.
Let's go back to work.
361
00:28:10,252 -- 00:28:12,584
Oh, you lost your appetite for the NBA?
362
00:28:12,654 -- 00:28:16,351
- Look, I ain't interested, all right?
- You ain't interested?
363
00:28:17,092 -- 00:28:19,458
That is every black boy's dream.
364
00:28:20,662 -- 00:28:23,859
And I guess you are gonna be the one
to give me the dream.
365
00:28:23,932 -- 00:28:25,832
For a small percentage, right?
366
00:28:25,901 -- 00:28:27,869
Yeah, you know how to talk the talk.
367
00:28:27,936 -- 00:28:31,303
Ran into a whole lot of slick cats like you
in my sophomore year.
368
00:28:31,373 -- 00:28:34,433
Promised me the stars,
and the moon as a bonus.
369
00:28:35,377 -- 00:28:38,346
Well, you've seen me play.
I got a scholarship to Cal U.L.A.,
370
00:28:38,413 -- 00:28:40,779
but it's a ride to medical school,
not the pros.
371
00:28:40,849 -- 00:28:43,511
Tell me, Dr. Cruise,
have you ever seen one of these?
372
00:28:43,585 -- 00:28:46,281
Snaps, son. That's a championship ring.
373
00:28:46,988 -- 00:28:50,185
You see, this is what players dream about,
374
00:28:50,258 -- 00:28:53,318
and they pray to God
that they get before the end of their career.
375
00:28:53,395 -- 00:28:56,796
"To Vaughn, the real MVP."
376
00:28:56,865 -- 00:28:59,766
You're damn right.
You see, this is what it's all about.
377
00:28:59,835 -- 00:29:02,827
This was a gift from a client
I got placed on the team,
378
00:29:02,904 -- 00:29:07,238
and I garnered him
a multimillion dollar endorsement deal.
379
00:29:08,110 -- 00:29:10,874
- Yeah, well, it's not about the money.
- Bullshit.
380
00:29:10,946 -- 00:29:13,608
Then why would you risk your eligibility
to play in that game last night?
381
00:29:13,682 -- 00:29:14,808
But I ain't take no money.
382
00:29:14,883 -- 00:29:18,717
I paid Tech, and Tech paid the team,
and you were on the team.
383
00:29:24,926 -- 00:29:29,886
Yo man, look. That ring is hot to death,
but Cruise ain't like that, dawg.
384
00:29:33,935 -- 00:29:36,802
Come on, man, look.
Vaughn didn't mean nothing by that, man.
385
00:29:36,872 -- 00:29:38,134
He was just busting my balls
386
00:29:38,206 -- 00:29:39,833
'cause he thought I brought a ringer
to the game.
387
00:29:39,908 -- 00:29:42,342
No, it sounded a lot like
he was threatening my eligibility, man.
388
00:29:42,410 -- 00:29:45,470
- I can lose my scholarship, Tech.
- But Vaughn wouldn't do that, man.
389
00:29:45,547 -- 00:29:48,812
Growing up, his name was the only one
I used to hear in the hood.
390
00:29:48,884 -- 00:29:51,876
'Cause he's known for getting brothers
to the pros and the money they deserve.
391
00:29:51,953 -- 00:29:53,215
Man, he the real deal.
392
00:29:53,288 -- 00:29:55,882
He probably just wants you to play
in some more of his games or something.
393
00:29:55,957 -- 00:29:58,721
Yeah, well, you know I can't do that.
I just did it for what you did for me.
394
00:29:58,794 -- 00:30:01,786
Forget all that, man.
We got other things to celebrate.
395
00:30:01,863 -- 00:30:05,924
It ain't every day somebody
take their best friend to L.A.
396
00:30:06,001 -- 00:30:07,468
That's right!
397
00:30:09,504 -- 00:30:12,200
- Hey, yo, let's go to the movies later.
- What? A movie?
398
00:30:12,274 -- 00:30:17,143
We just got invited to a tattoo party
by two beautiful young breezes.
399
00:30:18,079 -- 00:30:22,175
- What beautiful young breezes?
- Those beautiful young breezes.
400
00:30:30,525 -- 00:30:31,617
Damn.
401
00:30:34,963 -- 00:30:37,523
Man, baby girl is off the chain.
402
00:30:41,169 -- 00:30:42,466
What time the party start?
403
00:30:56,451 -- 00:30:57,941
You always bothering me.
404
00:30:58,019 -- 00:31:00,715
- So what?
- I'm gonna tell Tech on you.
405
00:31:00,789 -- 00:31:03,724
Stop, leave me alone! Go somewhere.
406
00:31:03,792 -- 00:31:07,694
- Tech? Tech, Malik is bothering me.
- No, I'm not!
407
00:31:07,762 -- 00:31:11,698
Hey! Hey! Come on. Hey!
Stop running before I call Mama!
408
00:31:11,766 -- 00:31:14,257
Now, Malik, leave your sister alone.
409
00:31:19,140 -- 00:31:21,040
Hey, Up, what's going on, man?
410
00:31:21,109 -- 00:31:23,976
- Man, I've been waiting for you, dawg.
- For what?
411
00:31:24,045 -- 00:31:28,379
You said we was going run one, and I've
been working on my game and everything.
412
00:31:28,450 -- 00:31:31,317
Oh, with that little crackhead crossover?
413
00:31:31,820 -- 00:31:33,481
Man, whatever.
414
00:31:33,555 -- 00:31:38,322
Yo! Check it out, man.
I'm sorry, man, but something came up.
415
00:31:38,593 -- 00:31:40,060
We'll have to do it tomorrow.
416
00:31:40,128 -- 00:31:42,892
Oh, you must got a date.
417
00:31:42,964 -- 00:31:43,953
What are you talking about?
418
00:31:44,032 -- 00:31:47,832
All I'm saying is, I see you pulling out
the button-down with the fresh Jordans,
419
00:31:47,903 -- 00:31:52,772
and most cats don't get slick like that
unless they've got a brizzle on the vine.
420
00:31:52,841 -- 00:31:55,605
- Oh, what do you know about that?
- Look, I put it like this.
421
00:31:55,677 -- 00:31:59,773
If you ain't putting nothing on the table,
then you must be taking something off.
422
00:31:59,848 -- 00:32:03,045
Most chicks show up hungry
and empty-handed.
423
00:32:05,086 -- 00:32:09,022
What Piston won back-to-back
defense player of the year award?
424
00:32:13,395 -- 00:32:14,862
Isiah Thomas.
425
00:32:15,597 -- 00:32:18,088
Wrong. Dennis Rodman.
426
00:32:19,367 -- 00:32:22,302
See, these breezes got you slipping already.
427
00:32:23,271 -- 00:32:24,465
Whatever, dude.
428
00:32:24,539 -- 00:32:26,837
- Come on, Up.
- Hey, whatever. I don't wanna hear it.
429
00:32:26,908 -- 00:32:28,739
Look, I'm sorry, man.
430
00:32:41,289 -- 00:32:44,122
- Yo!
- Hey! You made it!
431
00:32:44,192 -- 00:32:47,161
Vanessa, this is Cruise and Tech.
432
00:32:47,529 -- 00:32:51,329
- So, this is a tattoo party, huh?
- Why, you want one?
433
00:32:51,399 -- 00:32:54,163
Oh, no, let me think about it. No!
434
00:32:55,437 -- 00:33:00,238
Ain't nothing that important where I need
to have it plastered all over my body.
435
00:33:00,308 -- 00:33:04,176
Cruise, I like that.
You want to cruise with me?
436
00:33:06,114 -- 00:33:08,548
- Yeah, whatever's clever.
- Come on, Daddy.
437
00:33:20,261 -- 00:33:23,321
So, how long have you been working
at the mall?
438
00:33:24,833 -- 00:33:26,528
About four months.
439
00:33:28,837 -- 00:33:31,169
And what did you do before that?
440
00:33:31,973 -- 00:33:35,909
Time. Eight months,
Mound Correctional Facility.
441
00:33:38,179 -- 00:33:40,511
Missed my senior year of school.
442
00:33:42,851 -- 00:33:44,751
What did you go in for?
443
00:33:45,153 -- 00:33:48,589
Look, I hit a guy. You all right with that?
444
00:33:49,858 -- 00:33:54,090
You didn't hit a girl
and you weren't selling any drugs. I mean...
445
00:33:54,162 -- 00:33:56,323
People make mistakes, right?
446
00:33:57,632 -- 00:33:59,691
So you play basketball, huh?
447
00:33:59,768 -- 00:34:02,430
Kind of, sort of. Well, not really.
448
00:34:02,504 -- 00:34:04,972
- But you played the other night?
- Yeah. Yeah.
449
00:34:05,040 -- 00:34:07,668
But that was just a favor for my man, Tech.
450
00:34:07,742 -- 00:34:10,802
And I get to play when I get to Cal U.L.A.
For my scholarship,
451
00:34:10,879 -- 00:34:13,143
but, you know, it's not my thing.
452
00:34:13,214 -- 00:34:15,444
So you're going to school
in California, huh?
453
00:34:15,517 -- 00:34:17,280
Yeah. Yeah. Pre-med.
454
00:34:47,348 -- 00:34:49,714
So what do you wanna be
when you grow up?
455
00:34:49,784 -- 00:34:52,378
I'm just trying to get my GED right now.
456
00:34:52,454 -- 00:34:56,015
I mean, if I had my wishes,
I'd be playing ball.
457
00:34:56,091 -- 00:34:57,752
In the NBA?
458
00:34:57,826 -- 00:35:01,956
Come on, now. Every team got a short man,
but let's be realistic.
459
00:35:02,030 -- 00:35:05,227
I mean, but there is AND1,
460
00:35:05,667 -- 00:35:08,101
the CBA, Europe.
461
00:35:08,169 -- 00:35:11,764
Just got to get some light on my game,
gotta get the right people to see it.
462
00:35:11,840 -- 00:35:15,469
I mean, there's this casting director in L.A.,
says she'll put me in a commercial.
463
00:35:15,543 -- 00:35:18,239
I'm gonna go out with Cruise
when he doing his orientation.
464
00:35:18,313 -- 00:35:19,678
Oh, okay, that's hot, you know.
465
00:35:19,747 -- 00:35:22,875
A friend of mine was telling me that
if you want to be a real make-up artist,
466
00:35:22,951 -- 00:35:26,250
that you have to move
either out to New York or L.A.
467
00:35:26,321 -- 00:35:30,223
- You any good at playing basketball?
- When I'm playing...
468
00:35:30,291 -- 00:35:35,126
I mean, when I'm doing my thing,
I mean, really doing my thing,
469
00:35:35,196 -- 00:35:38,791
it's like I can run coast to coast,
and the ball is a part of me.
470
00:35:38,867 -- 00:35:43,566
I can feel it. When to let it go, how much,
471
00:35:43,638 -- 00:35:46,664
touch, timing, it's all net.
472
00:35:46,741 -- 00:35:48,766
Running on all cylinders.
473
00:35:49,310 -- 00:35:53,212
And playing street ball
the way nobody's ever played it before.
474
00:35:54,816 -- 00:35:59,150
You know, I've never heard anybody talk
about anything that way before.
475
00:36:01,890 -- 00:36:05,656
Oh, snap. Yo. Yo, I almost forgot.
476
00:36:05,727 -- 00:36:08,321
My boy's having a pool party tonight.
477
00:36:08,730 -- 00:36:10,254
- At midnight?
- Yeah.
478
00:36:10,331 -- 00:36:13,027
Yo, he a real baller.
You know, and it's invitation only.
479
00:36:13,101 -- 00:36:16,468
It's supposed to be hot.
He lives up in Palmer Woods.
480
00:36:17,038 -- 00:36:19,302
So are you and your girl down?
481
00:36:20,275 -- 00:36:21,640
Yeah. Okay.
482
00:36:24,212 -- 00:36:27,010
This is the pool party
that you was talking about?
483
00:36:27,081 -- 00:36:29,242
I mean, how many girls
have you told this lie to?
484
00:36:29,317 -- 00:36:34,311
Ain't nobody lying. This is Palmer Woods.
This is my man, Cruise.
485
00:36:34,389 -- 00:36:38,325
This is his crib.
And the four of us can make a party.
486
00:36:38,393 -- 00:36:41,487
Oh, as long as we don't wake up
my grandmother.
487
00:36:41,563 -- 00:36:44,589
- I don't know about this.
- I do.
488
00:36:44,666 -- 00:36:48,158
When was the last time you've been over
somebody's house that had their own pool?
489
00:36:48,236 -- 00:36:51,501
I don't know what you're doing,
but I'm getting in.
490
00:36:57,278 -- 00:36:58,905
Come on, Daddy.
491
00:37:00,114 -- 00:37:03,572
You're my man, and I love you,
but she called me Daddy.
492
00:37:23,972 -- 00:37:26,372
You got a girlfriend, Mr. Cruise?
493
00:37:27,342 -- 00:37:29,071
No. You got a man?
494
00:37:29,477 -- 00:37:33,140
None to speak of.
You want a girl, Mr. Cruise?
495
00:37:34,482 -- 00:37:36,245
Yeah. I'd like that.
496
00:37:37,485 -- 00:37:42,149
'Cause you've got this water glistening
all over your body, girl.
497
00:37:44,259 -- 00:37:48,992
You know, I've never been
to California before. That's big.
498
00:37:49,430 -- 00:37:52,263
It's probably real romantic
if you're there with the right person.
499
00:37:52,333 -- 00:37:54,130
You know what I mean?
500
00:37:54,636 -- 00:37:57,730
I mean, at least it looks like that
in music videos.
501
00:37:57,805 -- 00:38:00,399
Well, are you the right person?
502
00:38:23,965 -- 00:38:28,061
So you're probably wishing
you hooked up with Vanessa.
503
00:38:29,370 -- 00:38:32,567
- I didn't say that.
- Yeah, but you was thinking it.
504
00:38:32,640 -- 00:38:35,871
I think I'm the best judge
of what I was thinking.
505
00:38:37,145 -- 00:38:41,844
Look, Tech, I can't front. I'm feeling you.
506
00:38:42,817 -- 00:38:47,083
But I can't put myself out there
if you ain't gonna be real with this.
507
00:38:48,423 -- 00:38:50,584
Look, I can't front either.
508
00:38:50,658 -- 00:38:55,220
And I can't speak of what's gonna happen
with us tomorrow or the day after,
509
00:38:55,296 -- 00:38:57,457
but right here, right now...
510
00:38:58,800 -- 00:39:01,701
I wouldn't want to be with anybody but you.
511
00:39:08,309 -- 00:39:13,906
- Now, is that real enough for you?
- I don't know. Let's try it again.
512
00:39:31,699 -- 00:39:34,634
See you later. Vanessa!
513
00:39:36,504 -- 00:39:39,871
Goodbye, Daddy.
I was kissing him, if y'all don't mind.
514
00:39:40,208 -- 00:39:42,768
Man, I am feeling her!
515
00:39:46,013 -- 00:39:48,243
You know she used to be
with Jewelz, right?
516
00:39:48,316 -- 00:39:50,147
She's with me now.
517
00:39:50,218 -- 00:39:51,617
We go together.
518
00:39:51,686 -- 00:39:55,122
Oh, really?
So where the hell are y'all going?
519
00:40:05,566 -- 00:40:09,627
Yo, I asked her if she would go
to the orientation with me in L.A.
520
00:40:13,775 -- 00:40:17,609
So she's got you open like the freeway
at 4:00 in the morning.
521
00:40:20,748 -- 00:40:23,239
But, come on, man. I'm not mad at you.
522
00:40:23,317 -- 00:40:25,842
She's a fine little chick, for sure.
523
00:40:25,920 -- 00:40:30,357
I've got to get my money right,
and we can make it a double date to L.A.
524
00:40:30,758 -- 00:40:32,487
You asked Eboni.
525
00:40:32,560 -- 00:40:34,050
Yeah, I asked her. So what?
526
00:40:34,128 -- 00:40:35,925
Look who's open like a freeway
at 4:00 in the morning.
527
00:40:35,997 -- 00:40:38,727
You're talking about me. This guy, man.
528
00:40:39,267 -- 00:40:41,758
And how you going to get the paper?
529
00:40:46,073 -- 00:40:49,474
Vaughn ain't running no games
no time soon, so...
530
00:40:51,345 -- 00:40:53,643
I'm gonna have to do what I do.
531
00:40:57,485 -- 00:41:01,478
Now, look, cats know who you are out there.
Be careful.
532
00:41:01,556 -- 00:41:05,390
Hey, if a man wants something
he ain't never had before,
533
00:41:05,460 -- 00:41:08,452
he got to do something
he ain't never done before.
534
00:41:12,900 -- 00:41:15,232
It's 9:45 in The Motor City.
535
00:41:19,173 -- 00:41:22,802
Yo, Up! Come open the door, man!
536
00:41:27,148 -- 00:41:28,445
Yo. What up, Tech?
537
00:41:28,516 -- 00:41:31,383
What up, dawg? You want to run with me?
538
00:41:31,452 -- 00:41:34,046
Like, are you serious this time?
539
00:41:34,121 -- 00:41:37,420
Look, man, I'm sorry.
Come on, let's play some ball.
540
00:41:37,792 -- 00:41:40,056
Let's make it happen, captain.
541
00:41:40,127 -- 00:41:42,027
Go. Come on, come on.
Come on, put some clothes on.
542
00:41:42,096 -- 00:41:43,358
Did you bring me something to eat?
543
00:41:43,431 -- 00:41:45,365
Guys, come on. Come on.
544
00:41:47,602 -- 00:41:51,129
Game! Come on, man. I finally won one!
545
00:41:51,205 -- 00:41:52,433
Yo, that was luck, sir.
546
00:41:52,507 -- 00:41:53,974
- Luck!
- It was luck.
547
00:41:54,041 -- 00:41:56,874
Man, I just crossed the man A.I. Style.
What are you talking about?
548
00:41:56,944 -- 00:41:58,206
Hey, are you serious?
549
00:41:58,279 -- 00:42:01,442
You lost four in a row! Your drunk ass
was bound to get lucky once!
550
00:42:01,516 -- 00:42:02,676
Like that? All right.
551
00:42:02,750 -- 00:42:05,218
So why don't you and your man
put your money where your mouth is?
552
00:42:05,286 -- 00:42:09,086
I bet me and...
I bet me and four-eyes over there
553
00:42:09,156 -- 00:42:12,853
can beat Tweedledee and Tweedledum
in a two-on-two.
554
00:42:12,927 -- 00:42:15,191
You talking about Shorty right here
with the glasses on?
555
00:42:15,263 -- 00:42:16,662
You know it.
556
00:42:17,331 -- 00:42:21,358
Yo, Shorty! Yo, four-eyes! Yo, man.
You want to come run one?
557
00:42:21,435 -- 00:42:22,629
Whose team am I on?
558
00:42:22,703 -- 00:42:25,171
- Just bring your little ass over here.
- Come on over here and cut me the talk.
559
00:42:25,239 -- 00:42:28,072
Come on, man. Give me the ball.
560
00:42:28,242 -- 00:42:31,006
I'm talking "the Truth" right now.
Get going.
561
00:42:31,412 -- 00:42:33,312
Check the ball. Check the ball.
562
00:43:07,181 -- 00:43:09,513
Come on, man.
Come on, I'm taking all my jewelry off.
563
00:43:09,584 -- 00:43:13,042
- Play defense.
- Come on, I'm taking all my jewelry off.
564
00:43:13,788 -- 00:43:15,119
Come on.
565
00:43:48,823 -- 00:43:50,347
Best game of my life.
566
00:43:50,424 -- 00:43:51,652
All right, double or nothing.
567
00:43:51,726 -- 00:43:53,455
- Let's run another one.
- Yeah.
568
00:43:53,527 -- 00:43:54,755
I can't. I can't.
569
00:43:54,829 -- 00:43:56,353
I got to go to the store for my mom.
570
00:43:56,430 -- 00:43:57,920
You gotta go to the store for your mama?
571
00:43:57,999 -- 00:44:01,025
Yeah, I was supposed to go earlier,
but I wanted to watch your game.
572
00:44:01,102 -- 00:44:02,091
Good game, little man.
573
00:44:02,169 -- 00:44:03,727
- Hey, Shorty!
- Shorty, ain't no good game...
574
00:44:03,804 -- 00:44:05,169
- Hey, no, no, no.
- Hey, give me my money.
575
00:44:05,239 -- 00:44:07,605
- This looks like a set-up.
- Give me my money, chump!
576
00:44:07,675 -- 00:44:09,108
Here, man.
577
00:44:11,078 -- 00:44:14,047
That one smells like Vivica Fox. Halle Berry.
578
00:45:46,640 -- 00:45:48,403
Hey, this is nice. Real nice.
579
00:45:48,476 -- 00:45:51,343
I'm glad you like it, baby.
It's my favorite place.
580
00:45:54,849 -- 00:45:57,113
There something you wanna tell me?
581
00:45:57,184 -- 00:45:59,311
My friend hasn't come
to visit me this month.
582
00:45:59,386 -- 00:46:02,355
- What friend?
- My period. My friend.
583
00:46:03,724 -- 00:46:04,782
Wow.
584
00:46:08,896 -- 00:46:13,060
Look, babe, I love you. Okay?
585
00:46:13,868 -- 00:46:18,202
And whatever happens, happens.
I just want you to be a part of my life.
586
00:46:19,039 -- 00:46:22,406
- So you're not mad?
- I've never had much of a family.
587
00:46:22,943 -- 00:46:25,207
All I've had is Ma'Dere
since my mother died.
588
00:46:25,279 -- 00:46:27,645
I don't wanna be like them
other cats out there.
589
00:46:27,715 -- 00:46:29,740
And if we're gonna have a baby,
I wanna do it the right way.
590
00:46:29,817 -- 00:46:31,717
I want to get married.
591
00:46:31,786 -- 00:46:33,048
Are you serious?
592
00:46:33,120 -- 00:46:37,284
Yeah. Let's move to L.A.
I'll go to medical school, and...
593
00:46:38,425 -- 00:46:40,154
So, is that a yes?
594
00:46:42,863 -- 00:46:44,057
Yes.
595
00:46:46,033 -- 00:46:49,196
Baby, you planned this all along?
You knew you were gonna propose?
596
00:46:49,270 -- 00:46:51,329
No, no. I didn't order no champagne.
597
00:46:51,405 -- 00:46:53,635
Compliments of the gentleman.
598
00:46:56,644 -- 00:46:59,875
This is what the refs consider
a make-up call.
599
00:46:59,947 -- 00:47:01,642
It's to apologize for the other day.
600
00:47:01,715 -- 00:47:03,706
Thanks, man,
but I think that we're all right...
601
00:47:03,784 -- 00:47:06,753
And who is this beautiful young lady?
602
00:47:07,555 -- 00:47:10,922
This is my fiance. Vanessa, Vaughn.
Vaughn, Vanessa.
603
00:47:15,196 -- 00:47:17,130
Can I talk to you for a minute?
604
00:47:17,198 -- 00:47:18,324
Baby, I'm...
605
00:47:18,399 -- 00:47:22,563
No, no! Stay.
You're his fiance, you should hear this.
606
00:47:23,470 -- 00:47:24,732
You sure?
607
00:47:25,072 -- 00:47:28,098
- So, you're talking about going pro?
- Hey, what else is there to talk about?
608
00:47:28,175 -- 00:47:31,338
How come you're not talking to Jewelz?
He's your number one boy, right?
609
00:47:31,412 -- 00:47:34,904
Jewelz doesn't have what it takes.
See, he's the king of the jungle.
610
00:47:34,982 -- 00:47:38,713
He knows where he fits in,
and he has no problem with that.
611
00:47:42,523 -- 00:47:46,118
There are a lot of fruits in the jungle
where he rumbles.
612
00:47:46,393 -- 00:47:50,454
Sweet ghetto queens, monster trucks,
loads of bling-bling.
613
00:47:50,798 -- 00:47:52,732
The boy shines like a light.
614
00:47:52,800 -- 00:47:57,066
But, man, you've got this gift.
The greatest game never seen.
615
00:47:57,137 -- 00:48:00,163
And that face? Look at that.
Clean-cut, endorsement-friendly.
616
00:48:00,241 -- 00:48:01,902
Boy, he's gorgeous, ain't he?
617
00:48:01,976 -- 00:48:03,967
- Yeah, he is.
- Talk to me.
618
00:48:07,314 -- 00:48:10,772
All right.
You know I used to be a sports agent, right?
619
00:48:10,851 -- 00:48:13,820
- Yeah, man, I heard rumors.
- So I know some scouts.
620
00:48:13,888 -- 00:48:18,018
We get you into one of their camps.
You've got two, three teams to choose from.
621
00:48:18,092 -- 00:48:22,290
All in climate-friendly places.
Spring, summertime, year round.
622
00:48:22,363 -- 00:48:26,094
- And if all I get is a suntan, then what?
- Then what, what?
623
00:48:26,166 -- 00:48:30,000
There are ten guaranteed contracts,
and five of them are open.
624
00:48:30,070 -- 00:48:31,367
Look, son, I got faith in you.
625
00:48:31,438 -- 00:48:33,269
I know that you gonna do
really good at camp
626
00:48:33,340 -- 00:48:35,467
even if you're not high profile yet.
627
00:48:35,542 -- 00:48:36,600
Brother, you...
628
00:48:36,677 -- 00:48:38,736
You get one of those five spots,
629
00:48:38,812 -- 00:48:40,302
and you can write your own ticket
from there.
630
00:48:40,381 -- 00:48:43,282
- And if I don't?
- Then I put your name in the draft anyway.
631
00:48:43,350 -- 00:48:46,751
It's a gamble.
But I'm betting that you're a winner.
632
00:48:46,820 -- 00:48:48,685
And if that don't pan out?
633
00:48:48,756 -- 00:48:51,452
Then K.I.M., baby. Keep it moving.
634
00:48:54,428 -- 00:48:55,952
Keep it moving.
635
00:48:57,498 -- 00:49:02,333
Well, like what, Vaughn?
Pick-up games at St. Cecilia?
636
00:49:02,803 -- 00:49:04,430
Joe Dumars' Rec?
637
00:49:04,505 -- 00:49:06,905
Or we need a change of climate,
we go on down to Atlanta
638
00:49:06,974 -- 00:49:10,808
to that place that used to be
an old Kmart, The Run and Shoot?
639
00:49:13,681 -- 00:49:16,582
There's too many ifs, too many maybes.
Thanks, mister, but no thanks.
640
00:49:16,650 -- 00:49:20,916
Nothing in life is guaranteed.
But this is the chance of a lifetime.
641
00:49:20,988 -- 00:49:25,425
You know what? I'll bet your boy Tech
would give his right hand for this.
642
00:49:26,393 -- 00:49:27,621
What do you got to lose?
643
00:49:27,695 -- 00:49:32,223
A, my scholarship. B, my time.
That's two things I can't get back.
644
00:49:32,967 -- 00:49:35,094
You know, I'd like to stay,
645
00:49:35,169 -- 00:49:38,627
but you got a funny way
of making me lose my appetite.
646
00:49:38,706 -- 00:49:40,071
Come on.
647
00:49:40,140 -- 00:49:42,335
- We leaving, baby?
- Yeah.
648
00:49:44,378 -- 00:49:46,005
Nice to meet you.
649
00:49:46,380 -- 00:49:48,610
Nice meeting you too, Vanessa.
650
00:49:52,052 -- 00:49:55,510
Want some of this, baby?
Don't make me do the dirty...
651
00:49:56,056 -- 00:49:58,684
Sweep you off, and that's game!
652
00:49:58,759 -- 00:50:01,125
The Detroit Shuffle
The Detroit Shuffle
653
00:50:01,195 -- 00:50:03,095
Give me my money, man.
654
00:50:05,499 -- 00:50:08,229
Thank you for coming out.
God bless and good night.
655
00:50:08,302 -- 00:50:11,430
Y'all have a nice little game going there,
don't they, Heart Attack?
656
00:50:11,505 -- 00:50:16,272
Yeah. Kind of reminds me of this kid
named Tech from down at the train station.
657
00:50:16,543 -- 00:50:19,740
- Who's Tech?
- A kid that Jewelz busted up.
658
00:50:23,884 -- 00:50:25,317
So you all want to run one?
659
00:50:25,386 -- 00:50:28,480
- All depends. What are you playing for?
- $50.
660
00:50:28,555 -- 00:50:30,682
$50? That's all you've got, baby?
661
00:50:30,758 -- 00:50:34,694
Look, let's get them, man.
Twenty bones a point. Straight up.
662
00:50:34,762 -- 00:50:36,525
That's a lot of paper, dawg.
663
00:50:36,597 -- 00:50:40,727
It's Friday night. Just got paid. Let's do this.
664
00:50:42,603 -- 00:50:44,332
Okay. We're with it.
665
00:50:44,405 -- 00:50:45,804
- You with it?
- Yes, sir.
666
00:50:45,873 -- 00:50:47,306
Well, call it in the air then, homeboy.
667
00:50:47,374 -- 00:50:48,534
Tails.
668
00:50:48,842 -- 00:50:50,810
Tails it is. You got that.
669
00:50:50,878 -- 00:50:52,675
- They're losers anyway.
- Your ball.
670
00:50:52,746 -- 00:50:53,804
Oh, we're losers?
671
00:50:53,881 -- 00:50:55,712
- Right, man.
- Okay.
672
00:50:55,783 -- 00:50:58,479
Just for talking trash, you get nothing.
673
00:50:58,552 -- 00:51:00,019
- Yeah, we'll see.
- Check ball!
674
00:51:00,087 -- 00:51:01,850
Don't be so serious.
675
00:51:03,090 -- 00:51:05,820
Friday night
and you got paid right here, huh?
676
00:51:09,096 -- 00:51:10,324
Do it!
677
00:51:12,866 -- 00:51:14,629
Play some D, man!
678
00:51:16,036 -- 00:51:17,526
D up! D up!
679
00:51:21,675 -- 00:51:23,905
- Where you at?
- Right here, right here.
680
00:51:23,977 -- 00:51:26,275
- Tight D.
- No, no, no. Keep the ball.
681
00:51:35,022 -- 00:51:36,284
Shoot that, J!
682
00:51:36,356 -- 00:51:38,119
There you go, baby.
683
00:51:40,394 -- 00:51:41,554
Shoot!
684
00:51:42,763 -- 00:51:43,991
Back up.
685
00:51:44,665 -- 00:51:48,726
Point game. Just play it tight.
Play it tight, play it tight here.
686
00:51:50,904 -- 00:51:52,769
- Game, man.
- Nice shot.
687
00:51:54,007 -- 00:51:55,668
Give me my money.
688
00:51:56,944 -- 00:52:01,438
Nice to meet you.
Nice to do business with you.
689
00:52:01,515 -- 00:52:02,539
I didn't know...
690
00:52:02,616 -- 00:52:05,380
Making money could be this easy
691
00:52:05,819 -- 00:52:08,151
- Oh, my...
- What a coincidence.
692
00:52:08,689 -- 00:52:13,126
The two of you accidentally on purpose
meeting up across town in a game.
693
00:52:14,328 -- 00:52:18,389
Where you going, Shorty?
Gotta go to the store for your mom again?
694
00:52:19,433 -- 00:52:20,900
Okay, my man.
695
00:52:22,603 -- 00:52:25,367
I don't know what the situation is, but...
696
00:52:26,406 -- 00:52:27,464
Hey!
697
00:52:29,443 -- 00:52:30,501
Hey!
698
00:52:35,916 -- 00:52:37,406
Open up! Open up!
699
00:52:48,829 -- 00:52:50,592
That was close, man.
700
00:52:51,431 -- 00:52:53,194
I forgot my ball.
701
00:52:53,267 -- 00:52:56,998
- Man, we can buy another ball.
- With what? You tossed our ends.
702
00:52:58,939 -- 00:53:03,000
A hundred singles looks like a lot more
than what it is.
703
00:53:08,348 -- 00:53:11,749
I like that. You're the man.
704
00:54:12,246 -- 00:54:14,339
Looking good, Mr. Cruise.
705
00:54:14,815 -- 00:54:16,806
Feeling good, Mr. Tech.
706
00:54:19,419 -- 00:54:21,546
I don't wanna act
like I ain't never been nowhere before.
707
00:54:21,622 -- 00:54:23,351
But you haven't.
708
00:54:23,423 -- 00:54:27,416
Oh, girl. When was the last time you seen
a forest in a lobby?
709
00:54:27,494 -- 00:54:30,156
Oh, and let's not forget about a lake.
710
00:54:30,430 -- 00:54:33,763
- Okay, this is big.
- Real big.
711
00:54:42,876 -- 00:54:44,138
Defrost
712
00:54:49,583 -- 00:54:50,572
Breakdown
713
00:54:50,651 -- 00:54:55,247
The fraternities use the common area
for stepping during the summer months.
714
00:54:56,023 -- 00:54:57,650
Okay. That's cool. That's cool.
715
00:54:57,724 -- 00:54:59,453
A lot of them will be after you to pledge.
716
00:54:59,526 -- 00:55:01,084
Especially since you'll be playing ball.
717
00:55:01,161 -- 00:55:03,527
Yeah, well,
I don't think I'll be joining a fraternity.
718
00:55:03,597 -- 00:55:07,727
I'm spending most of my free time
with my girl here, Vanessa, and studying.
719
00:55:10,904 -- 00:55:13,429
Let me show you something over here.
720
00:55:22,716 -- 00:55:24,274
The director's ready for you now.
721
00:55:24,351 -- 00:55:26,945
If you want to chill with homechick
till I get back, it's all right.
722
00:55:27,020 -- 00:55:29,386
So, do you get a lot of work
doing makeup for commercials?
723
00:55:29,456 -- 00:55:32,983
Yeah, once you get your hours in
and join the union, the work's pretty steady.
724
00:55:33,060 -- 00:55:36,359
- You looking to get into the business?
- I'd like to.
725
00:55:39,066 -- 00:55:40,465
Thank you.
726
00:55:41,401 -- 00:55:43,198
I'll bring her over to the set
after she's done here.
727
00:55:43,270 -- 00:55:44,464
Okay.
728
00:56:40,694 -- 00:56:42,218
All right and cut.
729
00:56:43,029 -- 00:56:46,556
Very good, man, very good.
That was incredible.
730
00:56:46,633 -- 00:56:49,898
Hey, if you need some more, let me know.
I got more moves, man. I can do this all day.
731
00:56:49,970 -- 00:56:52,063
I think we're good.
It was great working with you, man.
732
00:56:52,139 -- 00:56:53,936
- Well, thanks for the opportunity.
- All right, all right.
733
00:56:54,007 -- 00:56:56,703
Okay, everybody. That's a wrap on Tech.
734
00:57:02,015 -- 00:57:04,176
I'll let your girlfriend know you're done
while you change over.
735
00:57:04,251 -- 00:57:05,377
Cool.
736
00:57:05,452 -- 00:57:07,147
Hey, you think a lot of people
gonna see this commercial?
737
00:57:07,220 -- 00:57:09,984
Yeah, it's a national spot,
so it'll be playing everywhere.
738
00:57:10,056 -- 00:57:11,182
Yeah.
739
00:57:14,361 -- 00:57:16,727
Hey, that dude got on the same clothes
that I got.
740
00:57:16,797 -- 00:57:19,595
Yeah, he's the actor you're doubling for.
741
00:57:19,666 -- 00:57:21,361
- Doubling?
- Yeah. Nick Harvell.
742
00:57:21,435 -- 00:57:23,562
He's the star of the commercial
but he can't play ball.
743
00:57:23,637 -- 00:57:25,730
But, with your help,
he's gonna look like Michael Jordan.
744
00:57:25,806 -- 00:57:27,603
You want to meet him?
745
00:57:28,175 -- 00:57:30,336
- It's all right. That's all right.
- I can grab his autograph for you, man.
746
00:57:30,410 -- 00:57:32,901
- He do it all the time.
- Look, I just said, that's all right!
747
00:57:55,168 -- 00:57:56,965
- We're out.
- Hold on one second.
748
00:57:57,037 -- 00:58:00,268
- Shelli's just giving me some information.
- No, look, didn't you hear what I said?
749
00:58:00,340 -- 00:58:02,604
Now, let's go. I said, we out.
750
00:58:03,810 -- 00:58:06,472
What's wrong with you?
Why are you acting like this?
751
00:58:06,546 -- 00:58:08,138
Tech, stop! You're hurting my arm!
752
00:58:08,215 -- 00:58:10,115
- Hey, man, what are you doing?
- Mind your own business.
753
00:58:10,183 -- 00:58:12,014
Look, take it easy...
754
00:58:14,287 -- 00:58:15,811
You all right?
755
00:58:18,992 -- 00:58:20,857
This is nice, baby.
756
00:58:20,927 -- 00:58:24,727
Yeah, it's wild.
Eating lunch outside at school.
757
00:58:25,499 -- 00:58:27,467
It's quiet. It's serene.
758
00:58:28,034 -- 00:58:31,470
Yeah, weather sure does make a difference.
759
00:58:32,172 -- 00:58:34,367
I wanted to make it official.
760
00:58:34,941 -- 00:58:36,431
Oh, my God.
761
00:58:37,077 -- 00:58:38,840
Wait till Eboni sees this!
762
00:58:38,912 -- 00:58:43,975
See now, you've got some karats
to go with that salad.
763
00:58:45,185 -- 00:58:46,675
You like that?
764
00:58:47,220 -- 00:58:48,710
Baby, can you afford this?
765
00:58:48,788 -- 00:58:50,756
You know, my grandmother helped me out.
766
00:58:50,824 -- 00:58:55,454
It's gonna be kind of rough on us at first,
so I figured I'd go all out for the ring.
767
00:58:55,529 -- 00:58:58,623
So what,
are you thinking about going pro, baby?
768
00:58:59,132 -- 00:59:00,724
You sound like that cat, Vaughn.
769
00:59:00,800 -- 00:59:02,290
I really didn't know
what he was talking about,
770
00:59:02,369 -- 00:59:05,099
but he sounded
like he knows how to make us some money.
771
00:59:05,171 -- 00:59:07,162
Well, you know, could be.
772
00:59:07,874 -- 00:59:11,173
Look, I don't know
how much it costs to have a baby,
773
00:59:11,645 -- 00:59:14,580
but I do know it's more than what we've got.
774
00:59:15,448 -- 00:59:18,576
Vanessa, I've thought about it. But...
775
00:59:21,488 -- 00:59:23,046
But what, baby?
776
00:59:23,123 -- 00:59:25,318
The night my mother died,
777
00:59:26,092 -- 00:59:27,753
I get to the hospital
778
00:59:27,827 -- 00:59:32,093
and there was this orderly there
doing whatever it is that they do.
779
00:59:33,199 -- 00:59:34,291
What?
780
00:59:34,634 -- 00:59:38,536
He says he saw me score 40 points
in the game against Oak Park.
781
00:59:40,740 -- 00:59:44,369
My mother is laying there dying,
782
00:59:44,978 -- 00:59:48,175
and all he can talk about
is me scoring 40 points?
783
00:59:49,883 -- 00:59:51,475
I don't know,
I guess in the scheme of things,
784
00:59:51,551 -- 00:59:54,486
basketball just didn't seem that important.
785
00:59:54,654 -- 00:59:57,316
So, I'm going to play ball,
and I'm going to walk out of here
786
00:59:57,390 -- 01:00:00,257
with a degree on their dime,
and go to medical school.
787
01:00:00,327 -- 01:00:02,659
Aren't you afraid Vaughn's gonna tell
you took some money?
788
01:00:02,729 -- 01:00:06,631
No, I didn't take any money.
But it doesn't even matter, all right?
789
01:00:06,700 -- 01:00:09,191
He's not gonna say anything.
He's got nothing to gain.
790
01:00:09,269 -- 01:00:14,332
It doesn't matter anyway. I'm on your team.
And you're the captain.
791
01:00:14,407 -- 01:00:15,465
I'm the captain.
792
01:00:15,542 -- 01:00:18,841
- You're the captain.
- That's right. I'm the captain.
793
01:00:42,402 -- 01:00:46,133
- You think that's a really good idea?
- This is a great idea.
794
01:00:48,942 -- 01:00:50,967
Look, Tech, I know you're upset
about the commercial...
795
01:00:51,044 -- 01:00:52,568
Play your role.
796
01:00:56,316 -- 01:00:59,752
- Play my role? What role?
- Like you don't know?
797
01:00:59,819 -- 01:01:04,756
Like cute girl latches onto
ambitious young guy for a free trip to L.A.
798
01:01:04,824 -- 01:01:07,122
- You think that's why I'm here?
- You tell me.
799
01:01:07,193 -- 01:01:10,162
You didn't even know I existed
until I told you I was coming to L.A.
800
01:01:10,230 -- 01:01:13,165
Then, all of a sudden I became very special.
801
01:01:13,700 -- 01:01:15,759
Look, you really need
to slow your roll right now,
802
01:01:15,835 -- 01:01:19,327
because you been drinking a whole lot,
and you're talking real stupid right now.
803
01:01:19,406 -- 01:01:24,605
So now I'm stupid? I don't need a GED
to see the type of trick you're in.
804
01:01:24,678 -- 01:01:26,578
Nigger, I don't know
who you think you're talking to,
805
01:01:26,646 -- 01:01:29,615
but I'm not one of these skanks
that you'd have met after a pick-up game.
806
01:01:29,683 -- 01:01:31,412
You think I need your shit in my life?
807
01:01:31,484 -- 01:01:34,578
Like your life was so special
before you met me!
808
01:01:34,654 -- 01:01:37,680
What? A nail technician?
I mean, what is that?
809
01:01:38,091 -- 01:01:41,822
That's like a janitor calling himself
a sanitation engineer.
810
01:01:46,399 -- 01:01:50,130
Just because your dreams ain't coming true
doesn't mean you get to shit on mine.
811
01:01:50,203 -- 01:01:55,505
Oh, and for the record, I'm here
because I actually like your sorry ass.
812
01:01:55,575 -- 01:01:58,043
If you wasn't so caught up
in your own self-pity,
813
01:01:58,111 -- 01:02:01,569
you'd recognize
when a real sister got her man's back.
814
01:02:02,882 -- 01:02:04,543
Only in L.A., huh?
815
01:02:06,920 -- 01:02:07,978
Hey.
816
01:02:09,289 -- 01:02:11,189
What's wrong? How did the commercial go?
817
01:02:11,257 -- 01:02:14,715
He got into a fight,
and he's been tripping ever since.
818
01:02:26,673 -- 01:02:29,107
- What's going on, man?
- Nothing.
819
01:02:29,175 -- 01:02:32,508
- Then why did you get into a fight?
- Look, I hit a guy. It's not a big deal.
820
01:02:32,579 -- 01:02:34,570
Is that why you're drinking?
821
01:02:34,647 -- 01:02:38,743
Like you can talk, huh? Mr. Perfect?
Mr. "l-can-do-no-wrong"?
822
01:02:38,818 -- 01:02:41,548
Noah, don't let him talk to you like that.
823
01:02:41,621 -- 01:02:43,452
He should be grateful
you're letting him stay here, anyway.
824
01:02:43,523 -- 01:02:44,649
Hey, hey, hey.
825
01:02:44,724 -- 01:02:45,952
This ain't got nothing to do with you,
all right?
826
01:02:46,025 -- 01:02:50,587
He's just jealous 'cause of what you've got,
who you are, and who he's not.
827
01:02:50,830 -- 01:02:54,994
- Vanessa, stay out of it.
- It needed to be said, so I said it, yeah?
828
01:02:55,702 -- 01:02:58,262
'Cause you don't have the smarts,
nor do you have the talent.
829
01:02:58,338 -- 01:03:01,205
So you hang onto him,
try to live through him.
830
01:03:01,274 -- 01:03:03,765
You ain't nothing but a thug
that wished you had his life.
831
01:03:03,843 -- 01:03:05,470
- Vanessa.
- Girl.
832
01:03:05,545 -- 01:03:09,606
He wouldn't have that life
you admire so much if it wasn't for me.
833
01:03:11,684 -- 01:03:15,120
He'd be just another ex-con
struggling to get his GED.
834
01:03:17,157 -- 01:03:19,887
- What is he talking about?
- Would you stay out of it?
835
01:03:19,959 -- 01:03:21,984
Go on. Tell her, Noah.
836
01:03:23,663 -- 01:03:28,362
Tell your fiance of all of five minutes
how I mortgaged my future for yours.
837
01:03:29,302 -- 01:03:32,829
Taking that assault beef?
Tell her about the party.
838
01:03:34,073 -- 01:03:37,839
Tell her about how you got drunk
and you hit that rich kid,
839
01:03:39,612 -- 01:03:40,840
and I took the rap,
840
01:03:40,914 -- 01:03:44,350
because I didn't wanna break
your grandmother's heart.
841
01:03:46,986 -- 01:03:49,216
'Cause I'm a thug like that.
842
01:03:49,989 -- 01:03:51,718
Noah, is that true?
843
01:03:55,228 -- 01:03:59,494
Thanks, friend.
I'll find my own way back to Detroit.
844
01:04:18,151 -- 01:04:20,278
Hey, girl.
I'm going to pick up a bucket of chicken,
845
01:04:20,353 -- 01:04:21,820
grab a movie.
846
01:04:22,355 -- 01:04:24,220
We're going to have a big date tonight, girl.
847
01:04:24,290 -- 01:04:26,622
I'll holler at you in a minute.
848
01:04:26,759 -- 01:04:29,785
Welcome back, Bigtime! How was your trip?
849
01:04:30,330 -- 01:04:31,592
You know, it was all right.
850
01:04:31,664 -- 01:04:35,464
All right? California? Yeah, right.
Did you see any stars?
851
01:04:36,102 -- 01:04:39,936
Did you see Halle Berry?
Man, tell me you did not see Halle Berry,
852
01:04:40,006 -- 01:04:44,067
'cause there's some things
I wanna do to that girl, man.
853
01:04:45,144 -- 01:04:47,339
Yo, man. I didn't see Halle Berry.
854
01:04:47,413 -- 01:04:50,746
What about Gabrielle Union? She's hot, too.
855
01:04:50,817 -- 01:04:54,753
Carl, it was an orientation, all right?
I was at school most of the time.
856
01:04:54,821 -- 01:04:56,049
That's too bad.
857
01:04:56,122 -- 01:04:59,319
Hey, listen, do you know
if Tech is working today?
858
01:04:59,826 -- 01:05:02,795
You will not be seeing him
around here no more.
859
01:05:02,862 -- 01:05:03,920
What are you talking about?
860
01:05:03,997 -- 01:05:06,727
Yeah, he gonna come to me,
asking me for some time off,
861
01:05:06,799 -- 01:05:08,596
same time you was gonna be in L.A.
862
01:05:08,668 -- 01:05:12,502
I told him, no, he took it anyway,
so I had to let him go.
863
01:05:13,840 -- 01:05:16,775
- You fired Tech?
- He fired himself.
864
01:05:18,378 -- 01:05:21,313
Good riddance. He was always late anyway.
865
01:05:22,949 -- 01:05:23,938
Wow.
866
01:05:27,787 -- 01:05:29,118
Sexual Chocolate speaking.
867
01:05:29,589 -- 01:05:33,685
So this fool is sitting on a sofa,
watching daytime TV,
868
01:05:33,760 -- 01:05:36,786
and playing video games,
talking about he looking for a job.
869
01:05:36,863 -- 01:05:40,663
Please. As if a job is going to walk up
to the door and be like...
870
01:05:40,733 -- 01:05:43,327
- "Who that?" "Job."
- Honey.
871
01:05:44,337 -- 01:05:47,238
I thought you said he was a good man, girl.
872
01:05:47,774 -- 01:05:50,174
Good-for-nothing is more like it.
873
01:05:50,243 -- 01:05:53,235
Do you know, his credit is so jacked up,
he went and got a cell phone
874
01:05:53,313 -- 01:05:55,804
in our daughter's name, and she's only four.
875
01:05:55,882 -- 01:05:57,440
One word, trifling.
876
01:05:57,517 -- 01:05:59,951
Well, look, girl,
everybody can't have a man like yours.
877
01:06:00,019 -- 01:06:02,510
You know,
taking you to California and what not.
878
01:06:02,588 -- 01:06:05,921
Girl, let me tell you,
they have oranges growing right there
879
01:06:05,992 -- 01:06:07,755
in the trees in the middle of the city.
880
01:06:07,827 -- 01:06:10,159
I mean, you can just reach out
and get one if you want to.
881
01:06:10,229 -- 01:06:12,197
Girl, you're lying.
882
01:06:12,265 -- 01:06:14,631
And they must be giving
Mercedes out, out there.
883
01:06:14,701 -- 01:06:17,261
I mean, everybody and their mama got one.
884
01:06:17,337 -- 01:06:18,702
Vanessa!
885
01:06:18,771 -- 01:06:21,672
Think your man gonna get you a Mercedes
when you all move out there, girl?
886
01:06:21,741 -- 01:06:23,368
We might not even be moving to California.
887
01:06:23,443 -- 01:06:27,038
Girl, shut up. Don't tell me your man
is thinking about going to the league?
888
01:06:27,113 -- 01:06:29,980
I mean, probably, I don't know.
You ain't heard that from me,
889
01:06:30,049 -- 01:06:33,485
'cause I ain't trying to put my man's
business out there in the street, you know?
890
01:06:33,553 -- 01:06:36,181
Y'all just gonna have to wait and see.
891
01:06:57,243 -- 01:07:00,110
- Hey, what's up, Eboni?
- Hey. Is Tech home?
892
01:07:00,179 -- 01:07:03,239
- Who?
- Tech. T-E-C-H. Tech.
893
01:07:03,683 -- 01:07:05,173
Like technical foul?
894
01:07:05,284 -- 01:07:07,275
- Yes.
- No, he ain't here.
895
01:07:07,820 -- 01:07:11,688
- Have you talked to him?
- Not since he went off to California.
896
01:07:11,924 -- 01:07:14,017
- What are you doing here?
- Me?
897
01:07:14,093 -- 01:07:15,458
Yeah, you.
898
01:07:15,528 -- 01:07:19,089
See, me, I'm just watching the house.
I make sure don't nobody steal it.
899
01:07:19,165 -- 01:07:21,030
'Cause, you know,
these days they stop breaking in.
900
01:07:21,100 -- 01:07:23,830
Now they just take the whole house.
They're scandalous.
901
01:07:23,903 -- 01:07:27,669
Right. Well, if you talk to him, please
tell him to call me, okay? It's important.
902
01:07:27,740 -- 01:07:31,437
Okay. I'll have him call you.
903
01:07:33,246 -- 01:07:34,713
Thanks, Up.
904
01:07:34,781 -- 01:07:36,772
I'll have him to call you
905
01:07:41,754 -- 01:07:44,552
Hey, Tech. She knows you down here.
906
01:07:46,759 -- 01:07:48,886
Them know you're down here.
907
01:07:49,328 -- 01:07:52,627
Plus, lying to people ain't really my stilo.
908
01:07:57,804 -- 01:07:59,169
Thank you.
909
01:08:27,667 -- 01:08:28,998
What's up?
910
01:08:30,536 -- 01:08:31,935
You tell me.
911
01:08:38,211 -- 01:08:42,375
Look, man, I'm sorry
about what happened in L.A.
912
01:08:42,448 -- 01:08:44,348
Now, why do you have to go and do that?
913
01:08:44,417 -- 01:08:46,078
What is wrong with you, man?
I just apologized!
914
01:08:46,152 -- 01:08:47,779
That's what's wrong with me.
915
01:08:47,854 -- 01:08:50,414
Why you gotta be the bigger man?
Why you gotta be so perfect?
916
01:08:50,490 -- 01:08:53,015
Why can't you just be messed up,
and let me be mad at you?
917
01:08:53,092 -- 01:08:54,184
- What?
- That's right, man.
918
01:08:54,260 -- 01:08:58,321
I wanna be mad at you.
Because everything your girl said was true.
919
01:08:59,899 -- 01:09:01,230
Look, man.
920
01:09:02,969 -- 01:09:07,906
I'm jealous of you
because you've got the gift,
921
01:09:08,174 -- 01:09:10,608
and you don't want it. And I do.
922
01:09:10,676 -- 01:09:12,576
I wish somebody
would give me a scholarship to college.
923
01:09:12,645 -- 01:09:13,805
Well, so do I.
924
01:09:13,880 -- 01:09:15,780
Yeah, that's easy to say,
you already got one.
925
01:09:15,848 -- 01:09:17,042
Well, not any more.
926
01:09:17,116 -- 01:09:21,212
Somebody leaked that I played
in the game against Jewelz for money.
927
01:09:21,287 -- 01:09:23,312
It was in the paper, Tech.
928
01:09:23,956 -- 01:09:27,653
They revoked my eligibility
and pulled my scholarship, man.
929
01:09:30,630 -- 01:09:33,895
Yo, I'm sorry, man.
I know how bad you wanted that.
930
01:09:38,504 -- 01:09:40,904
How'd your grandmother take it?
931
01:09:50,883 -- 01:09:52,976
She wanted me to go to L.A.
932
01:09:56,155 -- 01:10:00,421
See, man, it's not about the schools, man.
It's about the education.
933
01:10:01,294 -- 01:10:02,761
So, you're not going pro?
934
01:10:02,828 -- 01:10:06,423
No, man. I'm gonna stay here,
and go to community college.
935
01:10:08,334 -- 01:10:12,998
I guess we're more alike than I thought.
I'm going to community college, too.
936
01:10:13,673 -- 01:10:15,140
You passed the GED?
937
01:10:16,576 -- 01:10:17,736
Yup.
938
01:10:20,146 -- 01:10:24,446
Look, man, as much as I wanted it to be me,
939
01:10:26,786 -- 01:10:31,280
I wish you were still going to Los Angeles.
Give me something to talk about.
940
01:10:31,357 -- 01:10:33,951
Yeah, well, you know,
you can still talk about it.
941
01:10:34,026 -- 01:10:37,189
It'll just be about what we're doing together.
942
01:10:42,068 -- 01:10:45,162
So, you told your girl
you're not going to L.A. Yet?
943
01:10:45,304 -- 01:10:47,772
No, man. I'm on my way over there now.
944
01:10:48,474 -- 01:10:50,635
Just thought I'd come over here,
945
01:10:50,710 -- 01:10:53,474
make sure I get things straight
with you first.
946
01:10:53,546 -- 01:10:54,945
We straight.
947
01:10:57,450 -- 01:11:00,681
- And we always will be.
- For sure.
948
01:11:01,687 -- 01:11:04,952
So, you want to run on Friday?
949
01:11:05,024 -- 01:11:07,219
You want to go back
and play against Jewelz again, man?
950
01:11:07,293 -- 01:11:11,423
- Is that what you're thinking?
- That's all I've been thinking, man.
951
01:11:13,599 -- 01:11:16,591
Look, I can beat him, Cruise. I know I can.
952
01:11:19,438 -- 01:11:21,668
Then we'll beat him together.
953
01:12:04,650 -- 01:12:07,881
My people wanted you to know
they don't need this type of publicity.
954
01:12:07,953 -- 01:12:11,514
Well, you tell them
that I didn't have anything to do with it.
955
01:12:17,296 -- 01:12:19,321
Why haven't you called me?
956
01:12:20,066 -- 01:12:23,229
After you and Tech got into it in L. A, I just...
957
01:12:24,270 -- 01:12:26,363
I don't know, I had to...
958
01:12:26,472 -- 01:12:27,871
He probably badmouthed me.
959
01:12:27,940 -- 01:12:29,305
Trying to poison your mind against me.
960
01:12:29,375 -- 01:12:30,967
He is the reason
why you haven't called me, babe?
961
01:12:31,043 -- 01:12:33,068
No, babe, no, he didn't.
962
01:12:33,145 -- 01:12:34,772
A lot is going on in my life right now,
963
01:12:34,847 -- 01:12:36,872
and I just needed some space
to think things through, that's all.
964
01:12:36,949 -- 01:12:39,281
Baby, that's what I'm here for.
965
01:12:39,518 -- 01:12:41,713
We're a team. We gotta work
through these things together.
966
01:12:41,787 -- 01:12:42,811
It's gonna be cool.
967
01:12:42,888 -- 01:12:46,756
That's why I came over here.
Vanessa, we're not going to L.A.
968
01:12:47,026 -- 01:12:50,291
Somebody leaked to the press
that I played in the game against Jewelz.
969
01:12:50,363 -- 01:12:52,490
Baby, I lost my scholarship.
970
01:12:52,665 -- 01:12:54,292
I'm sorry, baby.
971
01:12:55,968 -- 01:12:58,334
But it's going to be all right.
972
01:12:59,872 -- 01:13:04,434
- You all right with it?
- I'm all right with it if you're all right with it.
973
01:13:04,944 -- 01:13:08,744
And besides, now you can go pro, baby,
so it's real cool.
974
01:13:10,383 -- 01:13:12,408
I'm not going pro, babe.
975
01:13:12,485 -- 01:13:15,682
I'm going to stay here
and go to community college.
976
01:13:15,755 -- 01:13:18,053
Yeah, well, things will be
kind of tight at first, you know.
977
01:13:18,124 -- 01:13:20,649
We'll probably have to live
with my grandmother for a while,
978
01:13:20,726 -- 01:13:23,286
and, you know, when I get to
medical school, things are going to be cool.
979
01:13:23,362 -- 01:13:25,489
No, no.
980
01:13:28,701 -- 01:13:30,498
The baby isn't yours.
981
01:13:30,836 -- 01:13:31,962
What?
982
01:13:33,639 -- 01:13:35,504
I miscalculated.
983
01:13:35,875 -- 01:13:39,106
I was with Jewelz before you,
and he's the father.
984
01:13:48,254 -- 01:13:52,384
And just
when were you going to tell me this?
985
01:13:52,458 -- 01:13:54,824
- Why do you think I've been calling you?
- I don't know.
986
01:13:54,894 -- 01:13:58,591
But that should have been the first thing
you said when you came out here.
987
01:13:58,664 -- 01:14:01,064
You trying to say you got played?
988
01:14:02,234 -- 01:14:04,327
Yeah. I played you.
989
01:14:05,871 -- 01:14:07,930
I knew Jewelz was the father.
990
01:14:08,007 -- 01:14:10,237
But you come along
with a chance to move to California
991
01:14:10,309 -- 01:14:12,072
and go pro, why not?
992
01:14:12,711 -- 01:14:16,238
But now you ain't got nothing.
So bye-bye for you.
993
01:14:18,083 -- 01:14:20,779
I can stay here and do bad by myself.
994
01:14:26,125 -- 01:14:27,387
Go ahead, cry!
995
01:14:27,460 -- 01:14:32,159
'Cause you've gotta be stupid or sick
or both to give up a chance to go pro.
996
01:15:17,610 -- 01:15:20,545
I'm right here. Ma'Dere's right here, baby.
997
01:15:23,282 -- 01:15:25,375
Ma'Dere, Ma'Dere.
998
01:15:25,451 -- 01:15:27,112
I'll be right here, baby.
999
01:15:27,186 -- 01:15:29,984
Tech. Oh, Tech.
1000
01:15:31,056 -- 01:15:32,353
Oh, God.
1001
01:15:32,424 -- 01:15:34,051
I should never have bought
that bike for him.
1002
01:15:34,126 -- 01:15:35,286
He's going to be all right, Ma'Dere.
1003
01:15:35,361 -- 01:15:39,161
Oh, Lord, please let him be all right.
Oh, God.
1004
01:15:39,231 -- 01:15:41,324
No, no, no, it's going to be okay.
1005
01:15:41,400 -- 01:15:42,867
Please, Lord.
1006
01:16:18,070 -- 01:16:19,799
Tech, Tech.
1007
01:16:23,709 -- 01:16:26,974
Don't talk, man. Don't talk.
Just relax, all right.
1008
01:16:32,751 -- 01:16:36,653
Vanessa... Was never... My baby...
1009
01:16:36,722 -- 01:16:39,452
I'm sorry. Come on. Don't talk. Take it easy.
1010
01:16:41,293 -- 01:16:43,557
She lied to me.
1011
01:16:45,965 -- 01:16:48,695
Take it easy. Take it easy.
1012
01:17:05,784 -- 01:17:09,447
- Why did you do it?
- Do what? What are you talking about?
1013
01:17:09,521 -- 01:17:11,284
Cruise never did nothing to nobody.
1014
01:17:11,357 -- 01:17:14,815
And all he ever did was love you,
so why did you do it?
1015
01:17:17,196 -- 01:17:20,654
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're talking crazy.
1016
01:17:20,733 -- 01:17:22,598
It took me a minute to figure it out.
1017
01:17:22,668 -- 01:17:26,434
But you was the one
that leaked the story to the paper, huh?
1018
01:17:28,407 -- 01:17:31,672
And now my friend in the hospital. Why?
1019
01:17:31,744 -- 01:17:34,338
Somebody call security!
Tell somebody to get here!
1020
01:17:34,413 -- 01:17:36,472
All he ever did was love you.
He was going to take you with him!
1021
01:17:36,548 -- 01:17:38,607
Why would you hurt somebody
that loved you?
1022
01:17:38,684 -- 01:17:39,878
Take your hands off her!
1023
01:17:39,952 -- 01:17:41,977
Anybody could have called Frank
at the paper.
1024
01:17:42,054 -- 01:17:44,750
I don't know what you're talking about.
1025
01:17:48,727 -- 01:17:51,958
Now, see, the author's name
wasn't even in the paper.
1026
01:17:53,399 -- 01:17:56,163
I put that on my unborn child.
I didn't say nothing to nobody.
1027
01:17:56,235 -- 01:18:00,228
Yeah, the same way you swore
Cruise was the father of your child?
1028
01:18:04,710 -- 01:18:08,168
Cruise might not be able to play ball
with a bad lung,
1029
01:18:08,981 -- 01:18:11,541
but he can sure as hell be a doctor.
1030
01:18:12,418 -- 01:18:14,318
So you live with that.
1031
01:18:20,025 -- 01:18:21,287
Bitch!
1032
01:18:40,679 -- 01:18:43,307
- How much is it?
- Ten grand.
1033
01:18:44,283 -- 01:18:48,344
- Where did you get it?
- They sent it to me for the commercial.
1034
01:18:48,454 -- 01:18:52,413
I must have did all right,
even though nobody can knows it's me.
1035
01:18:53,125 -- 01:18:57,027
I mean, I still don't see
how this is going to change anything.
1036
01:18:57,329 -- 01:18:58,853
True, that part.
1037
01:18:59,231 -- 01:19:02,792
I gotta do something.
This is me doing something.
1038
01:19:35,334 -- 01:19:36,733
As an adult,
1039
01:19:38,103 -- 01:19:42,164
I recognize a lot of people
don't see the world the same way I do.
1040
01:19:43,342 -- 01:19:47,506
But my boy Cruise is in the hospital
and he can't play ball no more.
1041
01:19:48,881 -- 01:19:51,315
And I think something
should be done about it.
1042
01:19:51,383 -- 01:19:54,284
- He's got medical bills.
- I feel you, dawg.
1043
01:19:54,353 -- 01:19:55,843
Yeah, me too.
1044
01:19:57,055 -- 01:19:59,615
It's got to be done. Let's do it.
1045
01:19:59,691 -- 01:20:02,387
It's from the heart, man. I'm with you.
1046
01:20:12,004 -- 01:20:14,165
You think you're slick, huh?
1047
01:20:14,807 -- 01:20:16,468
Hey, what's up?
1048
01:20:16,542 -- 01:20:17,736
Please.
1049
01:20:19,344 -- 01:20:22,074
You didn't think I'd find out about you
sending your girl up in there?
1050
01:20:22,147 -- 01:20:24,115
20-to-1 odds that you and your boys
are gonna hold
1051
01:20:24,183 -- 01:20:26,208
Jewelz and his crew to 11, right?
1052
01:20:26,285 -- 01:20:29,448
Look, ten grand. That's all I've got, man.
My life's savings.
1053
01:20:29,521 -- 01:20:31,284
Yeah, well. You know what, partner?
You hold onto that
1054
01:20:31,356 -- 01:20:34,291
because there's no bet and there's no game.
1055
01:20:34,459 -- 01:20:35,483
What's the matter, Vaughn?
1056
01:20:35,561 -- 01:20:38,223
All Jewelz has to do
is score 12 points and I'm done.
1057
01:20:38,297 -- 01:20:40,322
And you're up ten grand.
1058
01:20:41,033 -- 01:20:42,523
You can't win.
1059
01:20:43,035 -- 01:20:46,232
Jewelz's team hasn't lost a game
in three years.
1060
01:20:46,305 -- 01:20:49,672
And even if you do,
is that going to change anything?
1061
01:20:53,745 -- 01:20:55,679
Look, you made Vanessa do it.
1062
01:20:55,747 -- 01:20:58,648
You went to Cruise
and talked to him about it in front of her.
1063
01:20:58,717 -- 01:21:00,378
Jesus, all right, you know what?
1064
01:21:00,452 -- 01:21:02,249
I am sorry about what happened
to your man and all,
1065
01:21:02,321 -- 01:21:03,481
but I had nothing to do with it.
1066
01:21:03,555 -- 01:21:06,319
Vanessa's from the "D" man,
through and through.
1067
01:21:06,391 -- 01:21:08,723
She was born with larceny in her heart.
1068
01:21:08,794 -- 01:21:11,922
That's the type of chick she is.
You knew what was gonna happen.
1069
01:21:11,997 -- 01:21:16,263
Look, you put it out there.
You planted the seed, and watched it grow.
1070
01:21:19,938 -- 01:21:22,202
All right, you're on. Midnight.
1071
01:21:51,670 -- 01:21:52,898
Call it.
1072
01:21:56,808 -- 01:22:00,107
- I said call it.
- It's okay. He can take it out.
1073
01:22:00,178 -- 01:22:04,308
You wanna give me the ball
for giving Vanessa to that chump Cruise?
1074
01:22:04,850 -- 01:22:06,249
Get off me!
1075
01:22:11,223 -- 01:22:13,487
Pull that again
and both you guys are out of here.
1076
01:22:13,558 -- 01:22:15,025
Yo, save it for the game, all right?
1077
01:22:15,093 -- 01:22:18,460
Look, man, I'm playing my game, Big Man.
You play yours.
1078
01:22:18,530 -- 01:22:19,929
Play ball.
1079
01:22:26,104 -- 01:22:30,700
You've got no handles, Jewelz. Come on.
I don't think you're ready for this.
1080
01:22:32,844 -- 01:22:35,005
Come back, with some of this...
1081
01:22:51,229 -- 01:22:52,628
That's one.
1082
01:22:55,133 -- 01:22:58,728
Come on, D up. Roll them and fold them.
They get nothing.
1083
01:23:48,854 -- 01:23:49,843
Come on.
1084
01:23:56,528 -- 01:23:58,519
You go on get them, man.
1085
01:24:32,597 -- 01:24:34,462
Who's got me? Come on.
1086
01:24:49,848 -- 01:24:51,315
What are you doing?
1087
01:25:06,198 -- 01:25:09,895
Go, Tech. Go, Tech. Go, Tech.
1088
01:25:15,040 -- 01:25:16,234
Oh, foul!
1089
01:25:16,308 -- 01:25:19,539
- Hold on, dawg!
- Take it like a motherfucking man!
1090
01:25:23,281 -- 01:25:25,909
Go, Tech. Go, Tech. Go, Tech.
1091
01:25:40,132 -- 01:25:42,862
Go, Tech. Go, Tech. Go, Tech.
1092
01:25:42,934 -- 01:25:45,300
Two shots. Max one plus one.
1093
01:26:10,495 -- 01:26:12,486
One shot. Play the ball.
1094
01:26:26,478 -- 01:26:29,709
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
1095
01:26:30,916 -- 01:26:32,941
Watch your back, Big Man.
1096
01:26:36,154 -- 01:26:37,644
Clear it out.
1097
01:26:44,229 -- 01:26:45,890
Jewelz! Like that!
1098
01:26:45,964 -- 01:26:49,024
Playtime is over.
Let's take these suckers out!
1099
01:27:03,782 -- 01:27:05,010
Run two-two!
1100
01:27:17,028 -- 01:27:18,518
Get off of me!
1101
01:27:56,668 -- 01:27:58,135
Point game.
1102
01:28:04,843 -- 01:28:07,812
You can't get past me. Where you at?
Where your heart at?
1103
01:28:07,879 -- 01:28:09,847
You call yourself a man?
1104
01:28:14,119 -- 01:28:16,144
Need some help! Violator!
1105
01:28:17,689 -- 01:28:19,054
Loose ball.
1106
01:28:30,368 -- 01:28:31,630
Hey, Up.
1107
01:28:41,413 -- 01:28:43,381
- Yeah.
- You did it, baby.
1108
01:30:02,794 -- 01:30:05,524
You're feeling real good right now, huh?
1109
01:30:08,633 -- 01:30:10,863
But you know my people
are not going to honor your bet.
1110
01:30:10,935 -- 01:30:12,425
Come on, man.
1111
01:30:12,504 -- 01:30:15,632
Winning was worth
the price of admission, right?
1112
01:30:16,541 -- 01:30:20,944
See, that's a very good,
positive attitude to have, young man.
1113
01:30:21,813 -- 01:30:23,576
See, just 'cause you not gonna get paid,
1114
01:30:23,648 -- 01:30:27,550
doesn't mean that you cannot come out
on top of this situation.
1115
01:30:29,320 -- 01:30:31,481
This is for tonight's game.
1116
01:30:32,457 -- 01:30:34,652
Twenty grand. That's all you.
1117
01:30:35,193 -- 01:30:36,888
So I'm your man now?
1118
01:30:36,961 -- 01:30:41,557
Money talks, bullshit runs the marathon,
and I ain't wearing track shoes.
1119
01:30:41,633 -- 01:30:45,228
I'm taking this national.
We're going on the road, son, a tour.
1120
01:30:45,303 -- 01:30:47,601
Stadiums of people chanting your name.
1121
01:30:47,672 -- 01:30:49,469
"Tech. Tech."
1122
01:30:49,541 -- 01:30:52,999
See that? You and me
making so much money together,
1123
01:30:53,077 -- 01:30:55,875
because great minds think alike.
1124
01:30:55,947 -- 01:30:57,812
See, that's where you're wrong.
1125
01:30:57,882 -- 01:31:00,874
Great minds think for themselves.
1126
01:31:01,886 -- 01:31:04,787
See, that's what my friend Noah Cruise
taught me.
1127
01:31:05,390 -- 01:31:08,621
When everybody was running after him,
trying to get him to go pro,
1128
01:31:08,693 -- 01:31:12,754
as if getting an education
and being a doctor wasn't good enough.
1129
01:31:19,404 -- 01:31:21,770
Find yourself another boy, man.
1130
01:31:23,174 -- 01:31:25,199
If you want to see me,
1131
01:31:25,276 -- 01:31:28,439
I suggest you get a job
at the community college.
1132
01:32:01,646 -- 01:32:04,911
Vaughn was shocked that Tech
wouldn't roll with him on that tour thing.
1133
01:32:04,983 -- 01:32:08,077
It must have messed with Vaughn
in a big way because he sold his club,
1134
01:32:08,152 -- 01:32:12,851
shut down the train station,
and moved to the West to be with his girl.
1135
01:32:12,924 -- 01:32:16,792
Jewelz broke his ankle in a pick-up game.
So he opened up a strip club.
1136
01:32:16,861 -- 01:32:20,957
Turns out neither Jewelz or Cruise
was the father of Vanessa's kid.
1137
01:32:21,032 -- 01:32:22,966
Vanessa had a couple of more kids,
1138
01:32:23,034 -- 01:32:26,094
and I think she still works
at the nail shop at the mall.
1139
01:32:26,170 -- 01:32:28,638
Tricks are for kids. Silly rabbit.
1140
01:32:29,607 -- 01:32:32,371
Cruise got out of the hospital
with a clean bill of health,
1141
01:32:32,443 -- 01:32:35,901
graduated from community college
and moved to the dirty South
1142
01:32:35,980 -- 01:32:39,211
to finish up his degree
at Morehouse to be a doctor.
1143
01:32:39,284 -- 01:32:40,478
Yeah.
1144
01:32:40,552 -- 01:32:45,148
Eboni moved to New York and got a gig
doing make-up for commercials and stuff.
1145

And I think her and Tech are still kicking it.
1146
01:32:48,259 -- 01:32:50,454
Tech did his thing

01:32:50,528 -- 01:32:53,554
got his shine on,
a scout saw him play ball,
1148
01:32:53,631 -- 01:32:55,496
and now he's playing for the Euroleague,
1149
01:32:55,567 -- 01:32:57,364
repping the "D" in a big way.

01:32:57,435 -- 01:33:00,097
Detroit basketball. Holding it down.
1151
01:33:00,171 -- 01:33:05,108

1152
01:33:05,176 -- 01:33:07,542
And it's coming, baby. Hollerback!
