In 55 Seconds,

You Run Another Set.

[Blows Whistle]

For This, We're Paying?

[Blows Whistle]

Faster. Faster.

[Blows Whistle]

A Minute And 30?

Come On, Guys,

Run It Again.

[Blows Whistle]

What Kind Of Practice

Is This? Practice To

Have A Heart Attack?

Pick It Up.

Pick It Up.

Pick It Up.

[Blows Whistle]

[Blows Whistle]

[Blows Whistle]

[Blows Whistle]

All:
Ball!

That Was Terrible.

17-55S!

All Right.

That's All

For Today, Guys.

What Did We Ever Do

To Make You Hate Us?

I'm Not Here

To Like You.

I'm Here To Make

A Bad Into A Better One.

The Quickest Way I

Know How To Do That

Is Through Conditioning.

Schlots.

Next Time, You Pay Me

Before Practice.

See You Tomorrow.

This Is Ridiculous.

I'll Show You Guys Once

And For All This Guy

Isn't Judah Maccabee.

Judah Had 4 Brothers

And A Dad Named

Matthias, Right?

My Bad Boys Ready

To Rumble?

Yeah, In A Sec.

First, Though, We Have

A Couple Of Questions,

Like, What's Your

Dad's Name?

Mr. Carr To You.

What's This About?

Well, If You're Gonna

Be Our Coach,

Don't We Have The Right

To Know Something

About You?

Ok. They Called

Him Skip.

Ha Ha!

But His Real Name

Was Matthew.

Close Enough.

How Many Brothers

Do You Have?

3. There Was

A Fourth.

Policeman, D.C., But He

Was Killed 10 Years Ago.

Ok, Then.

You Know, I'm Sorry

About Your Brother, Man.

Here's An Extra 10

If I Never Have

To Hear 17-55 Again.

Thanks For Reminding Me.

Yo! 17-55!

Come On. Do It.

No, No.

From End To End.

Hey, Schlots,

Who's Chasing You?

We're Over Here.

Good One, Tyler.

See You In The Tourney.

First Round, Anyway.

[Blows Whistle]

Schlots, Did I

Tell You To Stop?

Let's Get Out Of Here.

Come On.

[Blows Whistle]

[Honks Horn]

We Can't Afford

To Keep Paying Him.

My Parents Are Starting

To Ask Me Questions.

Mine Think I'm Spending

It On Junk Food.

If Only It Were True.

Yeah, And What Good

Is It Doing Us?

Come On. At Least

Ben Can Make It Up

And Down The Court.

Great.

Now He's Lousy

At Both Ends.

Why Can't We Just Ask

Our Parents For The Money?

No Way. My Mom Can't

Find Out About This.

Got It?

Then You Come Up

With The Cash.

Got It?

Dr. J, Sorry, Man.

Sometimes You Gotta

Take One For The Team.

[Car Horn Honks]

Mrs. Schlotsky:
Hey, Alex,

Come Down Here, Please.

Hey, Great News.

You Got A Slot

In The Hospital

Shadow Program.

What?

Yeah.

Starting Monday,

After School,

You'll Be Following

Dr. Grimwald Around.

Mom, I Can't. I've Got

Basketball Practice.

Well, This Is A Rare

Opportunity, Alex.

They May Not

Do It Next Year.

Look, I'm Sorry,

But I've Gotta Practice

For The Tourney.

And I've Gotta Get You

Ready For Life.

[Sighs]

Thanks, Mom.

You're The Greatest.

Your Parents Will Freak.

They Gave You This Card

For Your Bar Mitzvah.

What Is The Point

Of Selling It To Pay

For Lamont

When You're Not Even

Gonna Be There?

This Way The Other

Guys Can Still Practice.

Believe Me, They Need It

If We're Gonna Win

That Tournament.

I Can't Do It All

On My Own.

Really? And When

Did That Change?

Julie, All You Ever Talk

About Is Basketball,

You Come To All My Games,

But You Still Don't

Understand What

The Games Mean To Me.

You Know What

I Understand?

Getting To Go On Rounds

With A Famous Doctor,

That I Understand.

That's A Great Idea.

You Take My Place.

What Would Your Mom Say?

Just Let Me

Handle That, Ok?

Come On. With All

The Suffering There Is

In The World,

It'd Be Wrong If You

Didn't Take My Place.

Lamont Was Right.

You Should've Been A Lawyer.

You Got No Compression.

Your Rings, Your Valves

Are Shot.

Gotta Figure 300 To Get

It Back On The Road.

500 If You Want It

Done Right.

When You Decide,

Give Me A Call.

Hey, Coach.

I Got Your Money.

Sorry, Schlots,

Deal's Off.

What's Wrong?

I Just Can't Help You

Anymore.

My Van Went Bust On Me.

I Gotta Come Up

With Some Serious Cash.

We'll Pay You Double.

No. No, No, I Can't

Do That To You Guys.

Come On.

You Need The Money,

And With Less Than

2 Weeks Till The Tourney,

We Definitely Need

The Practice.

Here. I Can Give You

The Rest Later.

I Appreciate This.

There's, Uh, There's

Just One More Thing.

Why Am I Not

Surprised?

Um, Well, You Know,

You Love Basketball.

I Love Basketball.

But The Other Guys Are

Starting To Hate It.

And If You Could

Ease Up A Little--

I Mean, Not Much.

We Definitely Still

Want, You Know,

We Want To Win

The Tourney,

But Try And Help Them

Love The Game, Too.

Hey, Lamont.

My Dogs.

Ok, Now That Is It.

First You Try To

Kill Us, Now You're

Calling Us Names.

Chill. Chill.

Dogs Is An Expression

Like...

My Brother, My Man.

It's Basketball Talk

For Cool.

Oh.

So, Should We

Start Running

Till We Puke?

No. Today We Shoot.

Shoot?

Shoot.

He's Not A Ghost.

He's A God.

Oh, Yeah.

Bingo.

Man, I Hate This Game!

You're Thinking

Too Much.

You Gotta Get Your Head

Out Of The Way Of Your Body.

Try It Again. This Time,

Don't Think, Just Relax.

Shoot Now.

I Love This Game!

All Right, Dogs,

That's All For Today.

Alex:
So, Uh,

How Are We Doing?

Be Honest.

Well, I Would Have To

Say You Guys Have, Um,

Potential.

Us?

A Bunch Of Jewish Kids

Like Us Have Basketball

Potential?

Don't Do That.

Don't Put Yourselves

In A Box, Ever.

Look, If We're Gonna

Do This Thing,

You've Gotta Start

Believing In Yourselves.

You Said "We."

What?

You Said,

"If We're Gonna

Do This Thing."

Alex:
There's No Other Way, T.J.

If We Don't Get Lamont

The Money To Fix His Van,

We Lose Him.

And If We Lose Lamont,

We Lose The Tournament.

Yeah. We Are Gonna Win.

Just Get As Many

Coffee Mugs As You Can.

[Door Opens And Closes]

Mrs. Schlotsky:

Alex? I'm Home.

Oh, Um, Call The Others

And, Uh, Remember,

Don't Sleep In.

Hi.

Hey.

So...

How'd It Go?

Um, How Did What Go?

The Hospital.

Oh. That. Um.

It Went By So Fast,

It Was Like I Was

Hardly Even There.

See? I Knew You'd

Like It If You

Gave It A Try.

So, Did You, Like,

Feel Good Karma?

Mojo, Mom. Nobody

Under 50 Says Karma.

Ah. Mojo.

Good Night, Mom.

Book's Upside-Down, Dear.

Hey, Stick, How Much

Money We Got So Far?

Still Short.

If Some People

Would Do Less Eating

And More Selling,

We'd Be Into Some Profit.

What?

Joker:
Who's Next?

Best Coffee In All Philly.

This Is Guaranteed To Put

The Hip In Your Hop,

The Slip In Your Slide,

The Boo In Your Boo-Tay.

Except Yours, Mrs. Klein.

I Mean--

Not That Your Hop

Isn't Hip,

Or That There's

No Boo In Your--

Alex.

Mr. Schlotsky.

Mr. Schlotsky,

What Is Going On Here?

Where?

Oh. Well--

That's A Fundraiser.

For Some Unfortunate

Kids Searching For...

Better Coordination

And A Greater Sense

Of Self-Esteem.

Right, Guys?

Have A Great Day.

[Boys Muttering]

Smile, Guys.

Joker:
If She Buys That,

I'll Eat My Yarmulke.

You're In A Good Mood.

Alex Is Finally

Getting Excited

About Becoming A Doctor.

I Feel Like I've

Done Something Good.

Maybe Some Of Your Good
