Davenport to serve.

Out!

What? My God.

That was in.

Be honest. Dude, you saw that.

That was right on the line.

Seriously? Call stands.

Brad, that ball was on the line.

Please don't do this to me.

Jimmy, he made the call,

and I confirmed.

You're really gonna

take his side? Look at him.

Does he look like

a man who can see?

After we went to

elegant girls that time,

you're gonna f*** me over on this?

It was out.

I never told your wife.

And as I've

said numerous times before,

I went back to

the hotel room alone

after getting one dance

in the champagne room.

I don't believe

you f***ed a stripper, man.

That is a terrible, terrible idea.

Do not do that again.

Is it too hard to get a hawkeye

camera up in this sh*t?

Serve the ball, long-shorts.

Whoo!

Dude, would you

cheer up, please?

We made the quarters.

That's four grand each.

We lost, Jimmy.

I thought I could learn from

playing with a journeyman.

Five minutes after the match,

you're drinking a beer.

Well, this is actually gin

that I just poured

into an empty beer can

because I couldn't find a cup.

Well, you can drink

all you want now, Jimmy,

'cause we are done.

Hey, Mr. price. Hey, Barry.

So Mrs. whist will be back

from sabbatical next year.

You should try to sub

for seventh grade,

so you can be my teacher again.

Let's not get crazy, Barry.

Seventh grade's a little

out of my league.

So, If you're

a substitute teacher,

then you're technically

unemployed right now.

Yeah, yeah.

So you want to

hang out this summer?

Yeah, I'm gonna be busy.

With what?

With a lot of stuff, you know.

With all those... Things.

Here, let me get

the door for you.

Thanks, Barry. Yeah.

All right. I'm gonna

go this way now, so...

Okay. You have a good summer.

Yeah, you too.

See you, Mr. price.

What up, Linda?

Here we go.

Hey, dad, guess what?

I give up. What?

I made the quarterfinals at the corona

classic with that kid, Davenport.

Yeah, good for you.

Thank you, good for me.

And then the kid dropped me.

You know? Well.

Talking about, It's time

for me to hang it up. Now?

But you've only been playing

tennis for eight years too long.

Fire her, dad.

So, If hanging it up

is what you want to do...

No, dad, no. I'm not

hanging it up.

I'm gonna make a run

at the open, actually.

Great, If that's

what you want to do.

It is what I want

to do. It's just...

It's hard to find

a good partner.

What do you think

about me asking Darren?

Wow. Yeah, that'd be...

When's the last time

you even saw Darren?

What do you mean?

Like, I saw him...

When did I see him?

He's recently single,

so he might be looking

for something to do.

Just don't pull another

dash Stevens, okay?

Dad, that was 15 years ago.

Come on. What's a dash Stevens?

It's a "who," not a "what." Dash

Stevens was this hotshot pro

that Jimmy left Darren for

when he hit the pro circuit.

They played doubles together.

Jimmy looking out for himself

over his own brother?

Nah. I don't believe it.

Quit defending your

not-so-secret admirer.

Jimmy... What?

Quit flicking Brock's penis.

Fine.

What are you, 12?

Hey, Mr. price! I thought

you were busy this summer.

Go home, Barry.

No, that's what

I'm saying, dude.

It gives you a mental edge.

Okay. How do you do it?

You just shove it

down your pants

in the middle of...

No. That would scare kids.

What you do is, prior to

the match even starting,

you cut a little hole

in your pocket.

Right? Cut a little

hole in your pocket.

That way, every time

you go to serve the ball,

you know that that ball

has grazed your scrotum.

And your opponent, when

they're hitting the ball,

they're hitting

your scrotum ball, okay?

And now you own that man.

Now you're one up on him.

Yeah. 'Cause he's your b*tch 'cause

he's hitting your scrotum ball.

Right?

Dude, the stuff you're doing with

your scrotum is light-years ahead

of what everyone else

is doing right now.

Thank you so much. That means a lot.

No, I mean it, man.

'Cause a lot of people

don't appreciate it.

Consider yourself appreciated.

Thank you. That's cool

of you to say, man.

Would you please give me a

couple of the prestige pro?

String them tight

this time. 59-57.

Jimmy, I...

What? I can't.

Nicky, give me some head.

Give you... 'Cause of the...

That's cool. I like that...

I love that joke.

My manager told me that I can't

give you any more free stuff.

Are you telling me head's

dropping me right now?

I'm not telling you that,

'cause they don't...

They don't sponsor you.

I'm just starting to

train for the open, Nick.

And head's dropping me now?

That's ridiculous!

Yeah, they are. I hate to

be the bearer of bad news.

I could loan you my racquet.

Honestly, dude, just

take my racquet.

It'd be an honor.

Just take it.

Yeah! All right, whoo!

Believe in yourself, Jimmy.

You're gonna win it, man!

Hit me up If you

ever want to kick it,

like, on the weekends

or whatever.

Hey. Hey, Mr. price.

What are you doing now?

Listen, Barry, school's out.

Which means I'm just

a 33-year-old man,

and you're an 11-year-old boy,

so we're not hanging out.

What kind of car is this?

This car is a kia sorrento.

Cool. How much does it cost

to buy a kia sorrento?

I didn't buy it. I'm leasing it.

What's that mean?

It means that I am

kind of renting it

for a really, really long time.

Why would you lease

a kia sorrento?

I don't know, Barry.

Sometimes things are

sadder in retrospect.

What's this?

Dreamcatcher.

Cool. Catch a lot of dreams?

Just the sorrento, so far.

Where'd you get it?

It's my girlfriend's.

My ex-girlfriend.

"Ex-girlfriend"? What happened?

I don't want to talk about that.

Was she cramping your style?

Nope. Did she have

too much baggage?

Did your mom hate her?

No, she never met my mom.

Why not? My mom passed away.

Man. How'd she die?

Okay. Yeah, Barry, you know,

you got to have more tact.

Sorry. Um...

How'd she die?

That was much better.

Okay. Here we are.

Okay, Barry.

Have a good summer.

Bye, friend.

Thanks for the ride.

Hi, grandma.

Hi, sweetie.

Thank you, Mr. price.

So hey, man, listen. The Alerian

open's, like, three months away,

and I'm just trying to figure

out who I'm gonna partner with,

and going through the list,

your name popped up

on the list, so I was just...

Well, yeah, um... Yeah?

No, I was saying, "well, yeah,"

like, "well, yeah,"

but not "yeah," yeah.

Yeah, no, It's not

a good idea. So no.

Yeah, no. No, I didn't...

Yeah.

I'm talking about Alerian open.

I'm talking about going

the full distance, buddy.

What do you think about that?

Yeah, I think...

You remember, you turned

me in to the officials

before a match for smoking

weed in '03? Right?

Right.

Weed that you sold me?

Shitty weed that you sold me?

You're a f***ing pro

at a country club, dude?

Yeah, six figures, bro.

And you're just not playing

on the tour anymore?

You're not in the game?

Yeah, I'm married with kids.

Leo's four now. It's crazy.
