Can we just beat these f***ers

and get in the open already?

All right.

So Davenport is tough.

Let's finish points fast. I don't want

to get into rallies with these kids.

And I'm gonna be all over the net, more

than usual, so be tight on the switch.

I'm gonna be aggressive with my

serves, but I swear I'll be smart.

Just make sure I know where you're going.

Yeah, of course.

I've always said

we needed a plan.

We need a plan,

but we should also be able

to stray from that plan.

Why are you cutting

holes in your pockets?

I want to be a gangster

I can't take it anymore

I've got anger like a gangster

let's do this, b*tches.

Welcome to the Alerian

open final qualifying round.

An unlikely team

of brothers, the prices,

have advanced to compete against the

highly touted team of youngsters,

Sal Mora and Hayes Davenport.

Davenport and Jimmy price

are former partners,

so, as promised, today's

tournament is not without drama.

The winner will move on

for a shot

at a grand-slam win

in the Alerian open.

- Hey. Welcome, welcome.

- Hey, Jack.

Hey, man, she's still showing up.

You've got to be doing something right.

Price-price won the toss

and have elected to serve.

That's my buddy. Yeah.

Ball.

Yeah.

Whoo! Yeah!

Shake it off, baby.

You're a king.

This is your castle.

Mora-Davenport.

That's what I'm talking about.

I kind of wanted to

give them that set.

Yeah, I did feel bad for them.

Right?

It's out of my system now.

Me, too.

F***. Come on.

I can't see yes!

If I could,

you know I would

I can't see

My baby

If I could,

you know I would

nice! I'm so high

up on a cloud

that I finally got my chance

to start looking down

Game and set, price-price.

That was easy.

Kind of too easy. Way too easy.

Feeling so lonely

all the time

yes! Game, mora-Davenport.

Yeah! My man!

We're getting her going.

Yes!

Game, price-price.

Pick yourself back up, baby!

Pick yourself back up!

All I did was

complain, hey, hey

switch!

Match point.

If we win this point,

we're in the open.

You may find it funny

to say that I

I couldn't make you

feel it every day, hey

Match point against us.

I know, Jack. I get it.

I need to talk to you.

What? The other

night, I came over

'cause I wanted to burst inside

and carry you up the stairs

and spend three nights in bed with you.

What the f...

But I wussed out.

Gary's got a really

great head of hair,

and he Says "nice" a lot...

Okay, that's it, Heather.

We're leaving.

You're not nice, you're...

You're f***ing amazing.

Let's go.

Heather.

Now.

- Nice.

- Bye.

Team price,

please take the court.

Could you just... Really, Ron?

All right.

I'm gonna go win this match

and get in the open,

and after,

I'm taking you to dinner.

Price-price, this is a warning.

Please... Ron...

Down with that?

Yeah. I'm down with that.

Good luck.

Okay.

So you want to f*** sh*t up right

now and roll into the open?

Hell, yeah.

Out!

Yes!

Look at the big balls on you.

Boys.

What a match.

Great job.

Great match, Jimmy.

You too, kid.

Can I give you one last

piece of advice?

Yeah, sure. Yeah?

All right.

Remember,

tennis doesn't come from here.

You're gonna be tempted

to think It's here

or here...

Or even here.

But it doesn't.

It comes from here.

All right?

Ronnie, good work

out there, buddy.

Thank you.

Aw, It's okay.

I'm so proud of you guys.

Yeah, yeah!

So will you still go

to dinner with me?

Yes, I will. Thank you.

That was beautiful. Thank you.

I'm proud of you.

How do you feel, Barry?

How do you feel?

I feel good about it. You do?

And what about that ball you flubbed

in the fourth game of the second set?

You feel good about that?

You saw that?

Everybody saw that, Barry.

I stick my neck out for you,

and you hang me out to dry.

That thing probably already

has a million hits on YouTube.

Good. Good.

Take your time.

Hustle. Hustle! Take your time!

Yes. Good, good.

Hustle, hustle,

hustle, hustle.

Stay in the game.

Stay in the game.

Good, good, good!

Hey, sweetheart. Darren, you know Vanessa.

Introduce her.

Hi, Darren! Hey, Vanessa.

This is Heather.

Hi! My dad, Jack.

It's okay, Barry.

Shake it off, buddy.

Darren, please do not

coach my player.

Don't shake it off, Barry. Do

not shake it off. Let it dwell.

You're an idiot.

Hey, my technique.

Do not f*** with it. Guys, guys, guys,

come on, Barry's got game point here.

Right. Here we go, buddy.

Yeah!

That was in! Yeah!

All right Barry!

Yeah!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo! Aw, yeah!

Your serve.

My friend

Says that the end

holds nothing more

he don't hide his shame

he Says It's all the same

like a man without a name

old days

asleep in the shade

by the brandywine

see a dog get paid

see a boy behave

every bone deserves a grave

but I heard

the good lord's warning

like he might not

forget by the morning

with no more

terrifying

thoughts of dying

my lord,

I'm climbing aboard

and I'm going home

no time to lose

there's no time to pack

take a step

and take it back

but I heard

the good lord's warning

like he might not

forget by the morning

with no more

terrifying

thoughts of dying

keep on with the living,

You'll soon enough be dead

you got the whole world

spinning in your head

and you don't want

to give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

'cause no one

should be sorry

we're just another day

you can say

You'll be back

but you won't ever go away

won't go away won't go away

won't go away

won't go away

'cause love

that never leaves

is never, ever welcome back

and I'm running out of skin

thick enough to hide in

won't go away won't go away

won't go away won't go away

now hand in hand

we're back in time

we're chasing the train

looking back, looking back

to wave goodbye

and headed for

the same disaster

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up

Don't give it up

don't give it up

don't give it up
