Break Point Page #2

---

My God.

You're like that dude

in the white shirt

at the... country club.

Hey, long-shorts.

What's up? It's Jimmy p.

Jimmy p. Your butt still

hurting from corona?

Super funny as always, Jimmy.

So listen, man, I've been

trying to narrow down a partner,

and I think we should talk

about getting back together.

Why don't you

swing on out to the house?

All I'm focused on now

is getting to palm Springs

to win the quallies

and getting into the open.

Yeah, man, me too. Me too.

If we stick together, we can

totally make that sh*t happen.

You got a lot of nerve,

I'll give you that.

What do you...

What do you mean?

You're 35. You're

begging a 21-year-old.

I'm just saying, that takes

a lot of balls.

Desperation or... Is it

very low self-esteem?

Guess I'm gonna have

to say "no way in hell."

You could've told me

that on the phone

instead of making me drive

all the way out to this

weird plantation.

Happy retirement, buddy.

See you in palm Springs, b*tch.

A "lidda hepp"?

"A lidda hepp"? A lidda hepp?

Barry, the phrase is

"a little help."

I thought it was

a Norwegian saying.

Okay. All right.

Do you see that box

diagonally across from us?

Okay, I want you to take a ball,

I want you to hit it underhand

into that box, like this.

Okay? That's a serve.

You do that with every ball

here, and when you're done,

go pick up all the balls and then

bring them back to this line

and do it again.

Got it? Okay. Got it.

I got one in! No talking.

I hit five good serves

in the box in a row.

I'm like kobe Bryant.

Kobe plays basketball.

Yeah, I know.

I meant that I'm like,

the kobe Bryant of tennis.

I even have Kobe's shoes.

See? Yeah, see,

that just makes me think that

you thought kobe played tennis.

My grandma bought them for me.

Sounds good.

And you live with her?

Yeah? Yeah.

So, tell me more

about your mom dying.

Barry, you cannot say

stuff like that, you know?

You... I'm sorry.

It's just that my mom died, too.

Her and my dad.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Yeah, you know, my mom,

she taught me how to play

tennis before I could walk.

I was actually pretty good.

I won a couple of

junior national tournaments

with my brother.

Why didn't you win

any pro tournaments?

I didn't go pro.

My brother did.

He won a few tournaments.

Well, If you never called it quits, you

could've been as good as Tiger Woods.

Tiger plays golf. I know.

I meant the Tiger Woods of tennis.

Hey, my ride's here.

You, want to come over

and watch Harry Potter later?

No, thank you.

See you later, Mr. price. Bye.

Hey, Barry...

I'm gonna be here Thursday, same time,

If you want to practice your serves.

Yeah, cool. I'm...

I'm like the Harry Potter

of tennis.

Yes. Yeah.

My heart is lost

these things mean

nothing to me

not to me

I'm not sorry

for being myself

addiction,

too tough to tell

Too tough to tell

Who is it?

It's Jimmy.

Hey. Hey, man.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I was just

stopping by to check on my bro.

Right.

Can I come in?

Yeah.

So, hey,

congratulations are in order.

Dad told me

you broke up with greta.

It's "grace." Grace.

That was her n...

Wait, that was her name?

Yeah, we went out

for three years, so...

That's awesome.

Yeah, I just got out of a

really bad relationship, too.

Really?

Hayes Davenport. No forehand.

Real cocksucker.

So now I don't have a bid for

the qualifying tournament.

Qualifying for what?

I'm making a run at the open.

Right.

Right.

Yeah, so now I have to

earn my way in

through this upcoming

pre-qualifying tourney.

If I win that, I'm in the

quallies at palm Springs.

If I win at palm Springs,

I'm in the open.

Right. Cool.

Yep.

I just need a partner.

Are you serious?

Yep.

Jimmy... Hey, look.

I think we can be

kick-ass again.

I think this is our chance to...

I don't think so, man.

To really f***

some sh*t up, you know?

We could go out there, and we

could really f*** some sh*t up.

Jim, no. Sorry. Sorry, Jim.

I forgot.

I forgot what a f***ing

scaredy-cat you are.

I did. It completely

slipped my mind.

You should be honest with

yourself and me and just say,

"I'm a scared little girl

inside of a tall man's body."

It's a waste

of f***ing time, man.

This is your dream you

f***ed up, not mine, so...

Is, is that it?

Are we... Are we done?

Overhand?

No biggie smalls.

Can I hit balls from that

tennis Cannon too? Nope.

When was the last time you

played against real people?

It's been a while,

but I actually just got an

offer to play doubles again.

With who?

My brother. Awesome.

You won tournaments with him.

Junior tournaments,

and he's an idiot.

Yeah, but still, it'd be cool to

see how good you guys are now.

I mean, you have

nothing to lose.

I mean, your girlfriend

left you.

You're just a single,

unemployed teacher.

No, I get it. You're actually

a substitute teacher.

I mean, people always

say that they have

nothing to lose, but they

actually have something to lose.

You literally have

nothing to lose.

You don't have anything. Yeah, I get it.

Like, the first, you know...

Well, your,

your kia sorrento lease.

That's a great point, Barry.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

If you didn't crush 'em so

hard, a lot more would go in.

Well, If I hit 'em underhand,

I could get 'em all in.

Just saying you could serve

at 120 instead of 130,

and 20% more of your serves

would go in.

Yeah, and I'm just saying If I served 'em

underhand, I could get every serve in.

Are you still leading all the

tournaments in double faults?

Yeah, and aces.

And unforced errors?

This coming from the guy

who once had

a five-minute rally

waiting for the other guy

to screw up.

I could've literally laid down

on the court and taken a nap.

We won that point. And we

didn't win by my aces?

Not your unforced errors.

Dude, My God.

Your game is so f***ing conservative.

And yours is reckless.

We would've won twice as many

tournaments If you had any balls.

I'm the only reason we won

any tournaments, a**hole.

Right.

So you're in?

Yeah. I'm in.

Hey, dad, what's this?

It's for canine epilepsy.

It's valium, basically.

Took him three times around

the block, but he finally went.

Well, If it isn't my little buddy.

What's he still doing here?

He's waiting for

someone to adopt him.

Well, you could put him

to work in the meantime.

There's a huge market

out there for animal porn.

I was not aware.

Jack, I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks, Heather. Guess what?

Tell me. Darren's in.

Yeah, we actually

drove over here

to tell you together,

but when he realized

he'd have to see Heather,

he bitched out.

He lied and said he wanted to

listen to "piano man" in the car.

That's a good song.

That's not the point, dad.

So If you trust me

hold me close and

We'll turn the sculptures

made of sand

hey, stranger.

Heather. Heather.

What are you doing out here?

I just... I was just...

I was just listening to...

Sorry. Hold on a second.
