with your homework.

I'll do that.

Hey, what's up?

What's up?

Who's that?

It's my gyology tutor.

Geology.

Yeah, that.

Hey, how you doing?

Hey.

Sharon.

I remember. Tickets.

I promised her tickets.

Yo, June.

What you

need, cuz?

Those tickets

for my brother.

Man, I don't know.

What you mean

you don't know, man.

I hope you ain't rolled

'em and smoked 'em.

Come on, man. Actually,

you know where they at?

They right over there on the

desk, right next to the computer.

Where, I don't

see no...

Right next to

the computer.

I got it. It was in the drawer, man.

Here. These are for

you and my brother.

Thank you.

It's nice to

see you again.

You too.

Thanks for

coming over.

Alright. We'll

catch you later.

Alright.

I can't believe

he called her.

You can't.

Look at Sean.

Yo, you tell 'em June's

popping party extravaganzas

is top notch.

If they want the deluxe tent,

it's gonna be 2,000 dollars.

It's set up time. I'm not

going in that sh*t for free.

That's money

outta my pocket.

Where they do

that at? Damn, man!

All these b*tches want me to throw

these big-ass parties after the game

but don't nobody

want to pay for sh*t.

They trying to

stress me son!

Hey, don't be hotboxing

up in my car, man.

There you go, acting like Officer Ricky.

Chill out,

chill out for real,

or you're gonna have us

in central booking.

Harry, Harry, why you trying

to beat me up

on the price, man?

This here is a classic.

Oh, bullshit. You know the blue

book price says 9,000 dollars.

How about if

I give you eight?

No, no, hey,

no, Harry,

I... I put it

out for 10,000.

I don't know if I can take

anything less than that.

Eight's a good

price for it.

You told me you'd give it to me for 12.

Who's this schmuck?

I spoke to my mom. She

said she'd co-sign a note.

His mommy.

Come on, you got two men

talking business here.

Huh? Kid.

Alright, look, look.

Uh, you just said

Is that what you want?

You know how much a

car like this is worth?

I ain't never seen a '66

Stingray in this kind of shape.

All you gotta do is put

some rims on it, man,

and a system in it,

ooh, you know...

look, I'll give you

What is going on here?

What, are you gonna let

that Bob Marley here outbid

me on this car? Come on.

Harry, for Heaven's sakes,

let the kid

have the car.

You're too old

for it anyway.

Wait a minute.

Look, you know this has

always been my dream car.

Deon. What the

f*** you doing?

I just want my roses when

I can still smell 'em.

I know, sweetie. But it's only a car.

No, not for me. Look,

let me handle this.

Why don't you go outside

and enjoy your minivan?

It's what

you like.

I need this

deal, man.

Alright. Look,

here's my final offer.

I'll go get my checkbook right now.

Deal?

I'm sorry, kid.

Man, this

is bullshit.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Excuse me.

This... he's

a natural, man.

Man.

I had no idea you

were gonna do that, man.

You see that?

But I don't get it.

Doesn't the old guy know

he won't get a chance

to drive it long?

Oh, he knows.

Yeah. He just wants to go out on top.

Alright.

Tickets for you and Mom,

last game of the season.

Oh, good looking out.

Ha, ha, ha.

Oh, that's my bro.

Listen, don't go

passing the glory.

I know, I know.

Yo, I'm gonna run

back to campus.

My ride better not coming

back smelling like weed either.

Oh, it ain't. But it

might smell like sex, dog.

He's stupid.

Hey, you joggin back?

Yeah.

Okay, six minute miles,

keep your pace even.

I know, I know.

Okay, alright.

Hey, hey.

You the man.

From your mouth

to God's ears.

Oh, what's up, Sharon?

What are you doing out

here this late by yourself?

Just closing the

bookstore for the night.

How far you

live from here?

A couple of blocks

down the quad.

I'll walk with you.

C'mon.

So Sean finally

called you.

Yeah.

What'd he say?

Nothing, he just offered

to give me the tickets

and brought me over

and that was it.

He didn't say

nothin' else?

No. What was he supposed to say?

I don't know.

I appreciate you walking me home.

It's nothing.

It's no problem.

Okay, I have to

ask you something.

Why'd you have your brother

call me instead of you?

I don't know.

I mean, I

was busy.

And it, you know, he... I

wanted to make sure you came

and he's good with that kind of stuff.

Okay. Well, if you wanna go

out, you should just ask me.

Well, I'm asking

you now.

Okay.

Look at that

pretty smile.

I didn't wake

you up, did I?

I'm good.

Got a seven o'clock

with Coach this morning.

Wanna come

check me out?

I'll be there.

Now you make me

not wanna go.

See you

later, alright?

One minute, 39

seconds left in the fourth quarter,

Defense, defense!

Defense!

Alright.

Ran the ball up the middle.

No gain on the play, that's

gonna force the fourth down.

And the clock is ticking,

no time outs remaining.

It's gotta be frustrating

for the Lakers.

Get past the gunner,

the gunner from the left,

we'll have a wall

for you. Feel me?

Okay.

Got it.

Get it!

The clock has stopped.

Let's go!

Just 21 seconds

remaining in the game.

Enough for two plays.

Play, Deon.

Deon!

Come on, Deon,

go get them!

Ready.

Set.

Hut!

Damn.

Incomplete pass to stop the

clock with 13 seconds remaining.

Seems we can get

the f***ing Gatorade.

Bring it up!

Bring it up!

Bring it in, fellas,

here we go.

Let's go PA. Gator 92.

Let's buy protection up front.

This is it, fellas. Last chance.

Yeah!

Home town, baby, this is

where you do what you do.

Ready.

Set.

Hut.

Yeah, baby!

That's what I'm

talking about!

Yeah. See that? See that? That's it.

We just won, but we wouldn't have

if you hadn't caught them passes.

Don't touch me,

boy, alright?

You didn't even

wash up yet.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey, D!

Deon!

Is anyone there?

Can anyone hear me?

Is anyone there?

(doctor over mic] Relax,

Deon, you have to stay still.

Can I get you

something, baby?

I'm okay.

What could they be doing?

We've been here all day.

Sean, go find

somebody, please.

Momma, I already

checked. They're busy.

Look, just go out there

and bring somebody back

who knows what the hell is going on.

Please?

What'd I tell ya?

What?

I told you to get your

ass in that endzone.

Guess what, Bernie?

SportsNet just bumped

your boy up.

That means we're

going to San Diego,

Denver or Miami.

We moving!

Look, we gotta you outta

here, get you all fixed up.

Miami!

Oh, baby.

I'm sorry I took so long.

Oh, that's okay, Doctor.

What you got for us?

We got the M Rl results and

what it's showing is a growth,

a medio-spinal tumor

in your chest cavity.

And that's putting stress

on your heart and your lungs,

and that's

why you fainted.

What does

that mean?

But can he still play?

He's playing in the

national championships.

At... at this time, with

the placement of the tumor

any kind of physical activity

could cause more damage.

Can we have

it removed?

Our preference would

be non-invasive.

Radiation
