Crossover Page #10

Synopsis: A naturally talented basketball player, Noah Cruise is determined to become a doctor using his basketball scholarship to UCLA pre-med, rather than succumb to the lure of former sports agent Vaughn and go for the NBA. His best friend, the buddy that took the fall for him and did the time for an assault charge, Tech, also an outstanding basketball player, has less lofty ambitions: he wants to get his GED and win an underground street ball game against his arrogant rival, Jewelz. Their lives change drastically when they both fall in love with two local girls, Vanessa Lilly and Eboni Jackson, and take fateful trip out to L.A. together.

807

01:
01:31,484 -- 01:01:34,578

Like your life was so special

before you met me!

808

01:
01:34,654 -- 01:01:37,680

What? A nail technician?

I mean, what is that?

809

01:
01:38,091 -- 01:01:41,822

That's like a janitor calling himself

a sanitation engineer.

810

01:
01:46,399 -- 01:01:50,130

Just because your dreams ain't coming true

doesn't mean you get to sh*t on mine.

811

01:
01:50,203 -- 01:01:55,505

Oh, and for the record, I'm here

because I actually like your sorry ass.

812

01:
01:55,575 -- 01:01:58,043

If you wasn't so caught up

in your own self-pity,

813

01:
01:58,111 -- 01:02:01,569

you'd recognize

when a real sister got her man's back.

814

01:
02:02,882 -- 01:02:04,543

Only in L.A., huh?

815

01:
02:06,920 -- 01:02:07,978

Hey.

816

01:
02:09,289 -- 01:02:11,189

What's wrong? How did the commercial go?

817

01:
02:11,257 -- 01:02:14,715

He got into a fight,

and he's been tripping ever since.

818

01:
02:26,673 -- 01:02:29,107

- What's going on, man?

- Nothing.

819

01:
02:29,175 -- 01:02:32,508

- Then why did you get into a fight?

- Look, I hit a guy. It's not a big deal.

820

01:
02:32,579 -- 01:02:34,570

Is that why you're drinking?

821

01:
02:34,647 -- 01:02:38,743

Like you can talk, huh? Mr. Perfect?

Mr. "l-can-do-no-wrong"?

822

01:
02:38,818 -- 01:02:41,548

Noah, don't let him talk to you like that.

823

01:
02:41,621 -- 01:02:43,452

He should be grateful

you're letting him stay here, anyway.

824

01:
02:43,523 -- 01:02:44,649

Hey, hey, hey.

825

01:
02:44,724 -- 01:02:45,952

This ain't got nothing to do with you,

all right?

826

01:
02:46,025 -- 01:02:50,587

He's just jealous 'cause of what you've got,

who you are, and who he's not.

827

01:
02:50,830 -- 01:02:54,994

- Vanessa, stay out of it.

- It needed to be said, so I said it, yeah?

828

01:
02:55,702 -- 01:02:58,262

'Cause you don't have the smarts,

nor do you have the talent.

829

01:
02:58,338 -- 01:03:01,205

So you hang onto him,

try to live through him.

830

01:
03:01,274 -- 01:03:03,765

You ain't nothing but a thug

that wished you had his life.

831

01:
03:03,843 -- 01:03:05,470

- Vanessa.

- Girl.

832

01:
03:05,545 -- 01:03:09,606

He wouldn't have that life

you admire so much if it wasn't for me.

833

01:
03:11,684 -- 01:03:15,120

He'd be just another ex-con

struggling to get his GED.

834

01:
03:17,157 -- 01:03:19,887

- What is he talking about?

- Would you stay out of it?

835

01:
03:19,959 -- 01:03:21,984

Go on. Tell her, Noah.

836

01:
03:23,663 -- 01:03:28,362

Tell your fiance of all of five minutes

how I mortgaged my future for yours.

837

01:
03:29,302 -- 01:03:32,829

Taking that assault beef?

Tell her about the party.

838

01:
03:34,073 -- 01:03:37,839

Tell her about how you got drunk

and you hit that rich kid,

839

01:
03:39,612 -- 01:03:40,840

and I took the rap,

840

01:
03:40,914 -- 01:03:44,350

because I didn't wanna break

your grandmother's heart.

841

01:
03:46,986 -- 01:03:49,216

'Cause I'm a thug like that.

842

01:
03:49,989 -- 01:03:51,718

Noah, is that true?

843

01:
03:55,228 -- 01:03:59,494

Thanks, friend.

I'll find my own way back to Detroit.

844

01:
04:18,151 -- 01:04:20,278

Hey, girl.

I'm going to pick up a bucket of chicken,

845

01:
04:20,353 -- 01:04:21,820

grab a movie.

846

01:
04:22,355 -- 01:04:24,220

We're going to have a big date tonight, girl.

847

01:
04:24,290 -- 01:04:26,622

I'll holler at you in a minute.

848

01:
04:26,759 -- 01:04:29,785

Welcome back, Bigtime! How was your trip?

849

01:
04:30,330 -- 01:04:31,592

You know, it was all right.

850

01:
04:31,664 -- 01:04:35,464

All right? California? Yeah, right.

Did you see any stars?

851

01:
04:36,102 -- 01:04:39,936

Did you see Halle Berry?

Man, tell me you did not see Halle Berry,

852

01:
04:40,006 -- 01:04:44,067

'cause there's some things

I wanna do to that girl, man.

853

01:
04:45,144 -- 01:04:47,339

Yo, man. I didn't see Halle Berry.

854

01:
04:47,413 -- 01:04:50,746

What about Gabrielle Union? She's hot, too.

855

01:
04:50,817 -- 01:04:54,753

Carl, it was an orientation, all right?

I was at school most of the time.

856

01:
04:54,821 -- 01:04:56,049

That's too bad.

857

01:
04:56,122 -- 01:04:59,319

Hey, listen, do you know

if Tech is working today?

858

01:
04:59,826 -- 01:05:02,795

You will not be seeing him

around here no more.

859

01:
05:02,862 -- 01:05:03,920

What are you talking about?

860

01:
05:03,997 -- 01:05:06,727

Yeah, he gonna come to me,

asking me for some time off,

861

01:
05:06,799 -- 01:05:08,596

same time you was gonna be in L.A.

862

01:
05:08,668 -- 01:05:12,502

I told him, no, he took it anyway,

so I had to let him go.

863

01:
05:13,840 -- 01:05:16,775

- You fired Tech?

- He fired himself.

864

01:
05:18,378 -- 01:05:21,313

Good riddance. He was always late anyway.

865

01:
05:22,949 -- 01:05:23,938

Wow.

866

01:
05:27,787 -- 01:05:29,118

Sexual Chocolate speaking.

867

01:
05:29,589 -- 01:05:33,685

So this fool is sitting on a sofa,

watching daytime TV,

868

01:
05:33,760 -- 01:05:36,786

and playing video games,

talking about he looking for a job.

869

01:
05:36,863 -- 01:05:40,663

Please. As if a job is going to walk up

to the door and be like...

870

01:
05:40,733 -- 01:05:43,327

- "Who that?" "Job."

- Honey.

871

01:
05:44,337 -- 01:05:47,238

I thought you said he was a good man, girl.

872

01:
05:47,774 -- 01:05:50,174

Good-for-nothing is more like it.

873

01:
05:50,243 -- 01:05:53,235

Do you know, his credit is so jacked up,

he went and got a cell phone

874

01:
05:53,313 -- 01:05:55,804

in our daughter's name, and she's only four.

875

01:
05:55,882 -- 01:05:57,440

One word, trifling.

876

01:
05:57,517 -- 01:05:59,951

Well, look, girl,

everybody can't have a man like yours.

877

01:
06:00,019 -- 01:06:02,510

You know,

taking you to California and what not.

878

01:
06:02,588 -- 01:06:05,921

Girl, let me tell you,

they have oranges growing right there

879

01:
06:05,992 -- 01:06:07,755

in the trees in the middle of the city.

880

01:
06:07,827 -- 01:06:10,159

I mean, you can just reach out

and get one if you want to.

881

01:
06:10,229 -- 01:06:12,197

Girl, you're lying.

882

01:
06:12,265 -- 01:06:14,631

And they must be giving

Mercedes out, out there.

883

01:
06:14,701 -- 01:06:17,261

I mean, everybody and their mama got one.

884

01:
06:17,337 -- 01:06:18,702

Vanessa!

885

01:
06:18,771 -- 01:06:21,672

Think your man gonna get you a Mercedes

when you all move out there, girl?

886

01:
06:21,741 -- 01:06:23,368

We might not even be moving to California.

887

01:
06:23,443 -- 01:06:27,038

Girl, shut up. Don't tell me your man

is thinking about going to the league?

888

01:
06:27,113 -- 01:06:29,980

I mean, probably, I don't know.

You ain't heard that from me,

889

01:
06:30,049 -- 01:06:33,485

'cause I ain't trying to put my man's

business out there in the street, you know?

890

01:
06:33,553 -- 01:06:36,181
