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.

Y'all just gonna have to wait and see.

891

01:
06:57,243 -- 01:07:00,110

- Hey, what's up, Eboni?

- Hey. Is Tech home?

892

01:
07:00,179 -- 01:07:03,239

- Who?

- Tech. T-E-C-H. Tech.

893

01:
07:03,683 -- 01:07:05,173

Like technical foul?

894

01:
07:05,284 -- 01:07:07,275

- Yes.

- No, he ain't here.

895

01:
07:07,820 -- 01:07:11,688

- Have you talked to him?

- Not since he went off to California.

896

01:
07:11,924 -- 01:07:14,017

- What are you doing here?

- Me?

897

01:
07:14,093 -- 01:07:15,458

Yeah, you.

898

01:
07:15,528 -- 01:07:19,089

See, me, I'm just watching the house.

I make sure don't nobody steal it.

899

01:
07:19,165 -- 01:07:21,030

'Cause, you know,

these days they stop breaking in.

900

01:
07:21,100 -- 01:07:23,830

Now they just take the whole house.

They're scandalous.

901

01:
07:23,903 -- 01:07:27,669

Right. Well, if you talk to him, please

tell him to call me, okay? It's important.

902

01:
07:27,740 -- 01:07:31,437

Okay. I'll have him call you.

903

01:
07:33,246 -- 01:07:34,713

Thanks, Up.

904

01:
07:34,781 -- 01:07:36,772

I'll have him to call you

905

01:
07:41,754 -- 01:07:44,552

Hey, Tech. She knows you down here.

906

01:
07:46,759 -- 01:07:48,886

Them know you're down here.

907

01:
07:49,328 -- 01:07:52,627

Plus, lying to people ain't really my stilo.

908

01:
07:57,804 -- 01:07:59,169

Thank you.

909

01:
08:27,667 -- 01:08:28,998

What's up?

910

01:
08:30,536 -- 01:08:31,935

You tell me.

911

01:
08:38,211 -- 01:08:42,375

Look, man, I'm sorry

about what happened in L.A.

912

01:
08:42,448 -- 01:08:44,348

Now, why do you have to go and do that?

913

01:
08:44,417 -- 01:08:46,078

What is wrong with you, man?

I just apologized!

914

01:
08:46,152 -- 01:08:47,779

That's what's wrong with me.

915

01:
08:47,854 -- 01:08:50,414

Why you gotta be the bigger man?

Why you gotta be so perfect?

916

01:
08:50,490 -- 01:08:53,015

Why can't you just be messed up,

and let me be mad at you?

917

01:
08:53,092 -- 01:08:54,184

- What?

- That's right, man.

918

01:
08:54,260 -- 01:08:58,321

I wanna be mad at you.

Because everything your girl said was true.

919

01:
08:59,899 -- 01:09:01,230

Look, man.

920

01:
09:02,969 -- 01:09:07,906

I'm jealous of you

because you've got the gift,

921

01:
09:08,174 -- 01:09:10,608

and you don't want it. And I do.

922

01:
09:10,676 -- 01:09:12,576

I wish somebody

would give me a scholarship to college.

923

01:
09:12,645 -- 01:09:13,805

Well, so do I.

924

01:
09:13,880 -- 01:09:15,780

Yeah, that's easy to say,

you already got one.

925

01:
09:15,848 -- 01:09:17,042

Well, not any more.

926

01:
09:17,116 -- 01:09:21,212

Somebody leaked that I played

in the game against Jewelz for money.

927

01:
09:21,287 -- 01:09:23,312

It was in the paper, Tech.

928

01:
09:23,956 -- 01:09:27,653

They revoked my eligibility

and pulled my scholarship, man.

929

01:
09:30,630 -- 01:09:33,895

Yo, I'm sorry, man.

I know how bad you wanted that.

930

01:
09:38,504 -- 01:09:40,904

How'd your grandmother take it?

931

01:
09:50,883 -- 01:09:52,976

She wanted me to go to L.A.

932

01:
09:56,155 -- 01:10:00,421

See, man, it's not about the schools, man.

It's about the education.

933

01:
10:01,294 -- 01:10:02,761

So, you're not going pro?

934

01:
10:02,828 -- 01:10:06,423

No, man. I'm gonna stay here,

and go to community college.

935

01:
10:08,334 -- 01:10:12,998

I guess we're more alike than I thought.

I'm going to community college, too.

936

01:
10:13,673 -- 01:10:15,140

You passed the GED?

937

01:
10:16,576 -- 01:10:17,736

Yup.

938

01:
10:20,146 -- 01:10:24,446

Look, man, as much as I wanted it to be me,

939

01:
10:26,786 -- 01:10:31,280

I wish you were still going to Los Angeles.

Give me something to talk about.

940

01:
10:31,357 -- 01:10:33,951

Yeah, well, you know,

you can still talk about it.

941

01:
10:34,026 -- 01:10:37,189

It'll just be about what we're doing together.

942

01:
10:42,068 -- 01:10:45,162

So, you told your girl

you're not going to L.A. Yet?

943

01:
10:45,304 -- 01:10:47,772

No, man. I'm on my way over there now.

944

01:
10:48,474 -- 01:10:50,635

Just thought I'd come over here,

945

01:
10:50,710 -- 01:10:53,474

make sure I get things straight

with you first.

946

01:
10:53,546 -- 01:10:54,945

We straight.

947

01:
10:57,450 -- 01:11:00,681

- And we always will be.

- For sure.

948

01:
11:01,687 -- 01:11:04,952

So, you want to run on Friday?

949

01:
11:05,024 -- 01:11:07,219

You want to go back

and play against Jewelz again, man?

950

01:
11:07,293 -- 01:11:11,423

- Is that what you're thinking?

- That's all I've been thinking, man.

951

01:
11:13,599 -- 01:11:16,591

Look, I can beat him, Cruise. I know I can.

952

01:
11:19,438 -- 01:11:21,668

Then we'll beat him together.

953

01:
12:04,650 -- 01:12:07,881

My people wanted you to know

they don't need this type of publicity.

954

01:
12:07,953 -- 01:12:11,514

Well, you tell them

that I didn't have anything to do with it.

955

01:
12:17,296 -- 01:12:19,321

Why haven't you called me?

956

01:
12:20,066 -- 01:12:23,229

After you and Tech got into it in L. A, I just...

957

01:
12:24,270 -- 01:12:26,363

I don't know, I had to...

958

01:
12:26,472 -- 01:12:27,871

He probably badmouthed me.

959

01:
12:27,940 -- 01:12:29,305

Trying to poison your mind against me.

960

01:
12:29,375 -- 01:12:30,967

He is the reason

why you haven't called me, babe?

961

01:
12:31,043 -- 01:12:33,068

No, babe, no, he didn't.

962

01:
12:33,145 -- 01:12:34,772

A lot is going on in my life right now,

963

01:
12:34,847 -- 01:12:36,872

and I just needed some space

to think things through, that's all.

964

01:
12:36,949 -- 01:12:39,281

Baby, that's what I'm here for.

965

01:
12:39,518 -- 01:12:41,713

We're a team. We gotta work

through these things together.

966

01:
12:41,787 -- 01:12:42,811

It's gonna be cool.

967

01:
12:42,888 -- 01:12:46,756

That's why I came over here.

Vanessa, we're not going to L.A.

968

01:
12:47,026 -- 01:12:50,291

Somebody leaked to the press

that I played in the game against Jewelz.

969

01:
12:50,363 -- 01:12:52,490

Baby, I lost my scholarship.

970

01:
12:52,665 -- 01:12:54,292

I'm sorry, baby.

971

01:
12:55,968 -- 01:12:58,334

But it's going to be all right.

972

01:
12:59,872 -- 01:13:04,434

- You all right with it?

- I'm all right with it if you're all right with it.

973

01:
13:04,944 -- 01:13:08,744

And besides, now you can go pro, baby,

so it's real cool.

974

01:
13:10,383 -- 01:13:12,408

I'm not going pro, babe.

975

01:
13:12,485 -- 01:13:15,682

I'm going to stay here

and go to community college.

976

01:
13:15,755 -- 01:13:18,053

Yeah, well, things will be

kind of tight at first, you know.

977

01:
13:18,124 -- 01:13:20,649

We'll probably have to live

with my grandmother for a while,

978

01:
13:20,726 -- 01:13:23,286

and, you know, when I get to

medical school, things are going to be cool.
