That's mildly amusing.

All right, all right.

What's up, ladies? Call it.

Tails.

Suck it. We're gonna serve.

Boom! Guys, guys, sorry.

Um, is it true you actually

touched d*cks in fl...

I wasn't finished.

Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

Yeah!

Match point, man. We get

this, and we're moving on.

That's my brother right there!

Whoo!

No, no, no, no, Barry, Barry.

This is a buffet, which means you

only eat the expensive sh*t.

Take whatever you want, Barry.

That's the whole point of a buffet.

You want some leafy Greens,

you get your leafy Greens.

Really? Okay, fine.

You don't get your money's

worth, It's not my fault.

This is exactly why

you two are broke.

Move on.

Hey, nice match out there, guys.

Nice fake compliment

to cut the line.

Thanks. Hey, sorry

about your draw.

"Sorry"? You didn't hear?

You guys drew

Osborne and chandy

for your second match.

Aren't they top-ten? What are

they doing in the quallies?

Osborne injured his ankle

and missed most of the year,

so the quallies are their

warm-up for the open.

They endured the test of time and...

Hey, hey, hey.

You're not on camera, a**hole. We can

totally take those tools, trust me.

I'm just gonna head to the meats. I'm

not gonna fill up on bread and tomatoes

like a f***ing chump. Jesus.

So you're like the

tennis announcer guy.

Yeah. Did you

ever play tennis?

I played in high school.

So not really.

Watch your tone, nerd.

Osborne's had time to rehab his

ankle, but It's still untested.

Although you may want to

worry less about strategy

and more about that.

Who is that? Alexander.

His partner went down

a few days ago.

He's already in the open, so he's

looking for a last-minute replacement.

But... I'm sure you have

nothing to worry about.

Out!

- Come on, guys.

- Game and first set, Osborne-chandy.

Come on, bro. We can

bounce back from this.

Let's go.

Man!

Sorry. My bad.

Really?

Game, Osborne-chandy.

Ace!

Tough serves?

They're too good. No.

The boys just need to

keep their heads in it.

They'll be okay.

Hey! Me!

Get out of the way.

Game, price-price.

What If he can't continue?

Well, they'd have to

forfeit, and we advance.

Awesome!

Hey, Barry,

you don't want to ever

root for an injury, okay?

At least, not openly.

Can you go on?

No, I don't think so.

Osborne-chandy forfeit

due to Osborne injury.

Price-price advance.

Yes!

Sorry.

Sorry, guys.

It's bad luck, guys.

It's bad luck.

Dude. Darren.

Darren, hey.

What the f***, man?

F*** you, man. Why are you

being such a dick? What?

I did you a pretty big f***ing

favor by making a run with you,

and then... It's a

pretty f***ing dick move

to try to throw the match.

Seriously? You think I...

Dude, those guys are

a top-ten team, man.

Yeah, I messed up a few times, but...

"A few times"?

Dude, that was the worst

match you have ever played.

At least If you're going to throw a

match, try to do it with a little art.

You want to play the blame game

and re-count points?

'Cause I can easily go into all

the forehands you f***ed up.

Here you go. Here you go.

Let's forfeit the next match,

and you can just go play with

Alexander like you always wanted to.

Dude, stop being an a**hole, please.

We're about to go to the open.

We're one match away.

F*** you, man!

You're being a f***ing dick.

Don't f***ing touch me, man.

What the f***? You're being an ass...

Let me tell you something.

Mom died, and you left me.

You don't f***ing do that!

You're a shitty brother, Jimmy.

You've always been

a shitty f***ing brother!

You f***!

What the f***?

F***.

So...

Trouble with Jimmy?

Not really.

Kind of.

You know, when I was

just like a week or two

out of vet school,

I got a call to go to this farm

and work on a donkey.

I'd never worked

on a donkey before.

What kind of donkey?

I don't remember, Barry.

If I said the name of the

breed, would you remember?

Barry, It's not...

Was it mammoth Jack,

abyssinian...

I'm trying to tell a story here.

Sorry.

Listen, dad,

I really appreciate the effort,

but I think I just

want to be alone

right now.

Just so you know, the donkey

was Jimmy in that story.

Barry, come on. Let's go, man.

Alexander?

He found a new partner

this morning.

Jimmy told him no

before your match

against Osborne and chandy.

Win or lose, your brother's

in this thing with you.

I'm not saying it

wasn't a shitty thing to do.

I mean, I got this offer

to play with this top pro,

and I took it.

That was a

pretty shitty move.

But you were in a shitty place.

Yeah, but...

It's okay, babe.

Don't worry about it.

You were a shitty-ass

brother, and now you've got

a ton of years to be

a not-shitty-ass brother.

You got it all figured out?

Medium.

I've got a client

that wants to chat.

Let's get rid of him.

No, It's okay.

You work. I'm going to...

I'm gonna head down

to the hot tub,

loosen up a bit before bed.

Okay. Okay?

Good night.

Good luck tomorrow. Yeah.

Come in If you want, but I've

pissed in here twice already.

What happened to your face?

I got into a fight.

No, not the bruises.

Just... Just your face.

In general.

I thought that was a funny...

Don't interrupt me, Barry.

I'm staring at you in disgust.

Okay, now, what do you want?

I wanted to know

If you asked the officials.

If I could be a ball boy

for tomorrow's match or not.

No, no, I did not ask the officials

If you could be a ball boy, okay?

Now, get the f*** out of here.

Okay.

Barry, what the f***?

Where are you going?

You just told me

to get out of here.

Okay, look.

Part of being a man means

not doing everything I say

and standing up for yourself.

Got it? Got it.

Good.

Now, get the f*** out of here.

Seriously.

You know, I think I'm just

gonna stay and hang out.

No, no. Look.

I know what I just said,

but I've got a big match

tomorrow, and I need to focus.

So I need you to leave.

I'm serious, you little prick.

Would you listen to me?

Get the f*** out of here.

F*** you, Jimmy. I'm staying.

All right. Atta boy.

Yeah.

So I think when I get back,

I might want to join

a tennis league.

I might need some help.

Look, If you're asking me

to be your coach,

just forget it, man.

No f***ing way, seriously.

I was actually

thinking about Darren.

Dar... Darren?

What the f***, Barry?

I'm way better than

Darren. Come on, man.

But Darren's been actually...

fine. I will f***ing coach you.

Just shut up about it already.

Okay.

Now, get out of here. For real.

Nothing I can do, Jimmy.

You don't have

to be a dick, dude.

Sorry. My hands are tied.

Well, so are mine,

because I really didn't want

to have to do this, Ron.

Do what?

Well, do you remember

the controversial call

you made in the Sevingnon match?

Well, guess who has proof

that you were boning her

all the way to the finals.

Emir.

You're out.

What?

Game, McNamara.

Love-30.

My eye is fine, by the way.

You've always been

a quick healer.

Right.

Look, Jimmy...

Yeah?
