Just Wright Page #2

Here he comes the other way.

McKnight lays it up and in.

The Nets are up by a bundle.

Uh-oh! Y'all in trouble now.

Here comes the Magic,

bringing it up the floor...

It's stolen again by Scott McKnight.

Here comes McKnight,

and number 19 slams it home.

The Nets are pouring it on.

Dwight Howard clearly upset,

as he inbounds the ball to Rashard Lewis.

Come on, don't, don't...

Don't die on me, Orlando, don't die on me.

For three. Bembrey gets a piece of it.

McKnight with the rebound, the clock

winds down and that's gonna do it.

Unbelievable performance

by Scott McKnight.

Time of death, 10:19.

Nets suck.

Shut y'all down.

Shut y'all down, every time.

It's a great game.

Let's get out of here

before we get killed, come on.

Yeah!

Congratulations, tremendous game,

- tremendous game.

- Thanks. Thanks, man, thanks.

Almost a decade with the Nets,

the only franchise

- you've ever played for...

- Good game, man.

...but you're a free agent

at the end of this season.

The question everyone wants to know,

"Will Scott McKnight re-sign

with the Nets?"

I prove myself night in

and night out on that court.

Nets fans know what I'm worth.

Hopefully the Nets front office

knows it, too.

- So what you're saying is...

- So what I'm saying is,

- it's good to see you, J.

- All right, for sure. Congratulations.

That was great, man.

I think you just started a bidding war.

I don't want a bidding war.

You know, I wanna stay a Net.

Red and blue...

"Runs through my veins," you've been

saying that since the day they drafted you.

Sweet Lew!

- What up, man?

- Good game, way to shoot the ball.

- Thanks, man.

- Hey, I'll see you All-Star Weekend.

All-Star, yes, sir.

There you are, girl.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

- Hey.

- Hey, Leslie.

- What's up?

- It's packed up in here.

I know, girl, what's up?

Scott McKnight is having a birthday party

Saturday night at his house.

I know y'all trying to be up in the spot.

Leslie, be nice.

- You got the hook-up?

- My girl does.

We're going to meet her

at the Warwick Hotel. You want to roll?

- You don't mind, do you?

- Nah, do your thing.

- I'll have them drop me off, okay?

- All right.

I mean, if we gonna have a charity,

I need to be around the kids more.

That's the whole gist.

I want to talk to the kids.

I need to be in their faces.

I need to see what they're thinking.

That's what it's always been about for me.

I mean, come on,

what else should it be for?

I can't find the button

to put gas in this thing, man.

This is... This is getting ridiculous.

Nah, I'm...

You should talk to my mom about that.

- She's running the charity, okay?

- You...

- I think you...

- Excuse me. Miss?

- Leslie.

- Let me call you back.

Leslie, right?

Yeah, Leslie Wright, with a "W."

These cars usually don't have a...

A button. And you might want

to spin it around.

Okay, Leslie Wright.

Smells like it's fresh off the assembly line.

You just get it?

Yeah. Thanks, though, I appreciate it.

Well, you can thank me

by winning the championship.

Oh, you really a die-hard, huh?

Red and blue runs through my veins.

You sound like me.

I'm a Jersey girl. Gotta represent.

- All right.

- You know, l...

- I shouldn't.

- What?

- I shouldn't, no.

- What were you gonna say?

I'm sorry, I'm a little nosy and forgive me,

but I couldn't help but notice

a Joni Mitchell CD sitting on your seat.

Okay, yeah, I like Joni Mitchell.

- Really?

- Actually, I really love jazz.

That's my thing.

You know that song

Joni Mitchell did with...

- Charles Mingus.

- Oh, yeah, I love that one.

Yeah, that's a bad record.

- Okay, you have a good night.

- I better get home.

You know what, let me get your door.

I never figured you

for the opening door type.

Come on, I open doors, I offer my coat,

I pull chairs out.

I try to open... What's up with...

Just lift it and pull.

There you go. She's kind of old.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Oh, my God.

- You know what?

You got plans Saturday night?

Girl, I did not expect

to be out all night,

but after the Warwick,

we got invited to this after-hours,

and Q-Tip was DJ-ing

and then we went to this breakfast spot,

but you know I don't eat in public,

so I am starving.

So, you and your girls make any progress

getting into Scott McKnight's party?

I wish.

Saturday night, I'll be right here with you,

putting on a second coat.

- That's too bad.

- Too bad?

Because if you're at this house,

then you won't be at this house!

- ls this...

- Yes!

- Yes! At Scott McKnight's party!

- What?

- I got the hook-up.

- How? How?

Scott personally invited me.

Okay, since when do you know

Scott McKnight?

Since last night at the gas station.

Okay, boom,

first of all, he's on the phone.

He's beefing with somebody

about this charity event

and how they better get it right

for the kids.

Meanwhile, he's so distracted,

he can't even open up the gas tank.

Until I hooked him up.

So, what was he like?

I mean, look, he was different

than I thought he would be.

He was... He was cool.

You know, he was... He was nice,

he was beyond nice. He was a gentleman.

I mean, like a real sweetie-pie.

You're not feeling this dude, are you?

Girl, you crazy.

I don't do ball players. I like regular guys.

Oh, my God, I gotta figure out

what outfit I'm gonna wear.

Leslie, you're the best.

Okay, keep your eyes closed, there you go.

There, finished.

- Yeah. Damn.

- Right?

Didn't I tell you this color

would look fabulous on you?

Nice going.

- Oh, but you need more blush.

- You do.

- Ma, I don't need any more...

- Yes, you do. Yes.

- Mom, I do not need any more blush.

- Listen to your mother.

You are going to find a husband tonight.

- Okay, that does look nice.

- Yes, it does.

Baby, I bagged your father 36 years ago,

and he still can't believe his luck.

Okay.

Oh, oh. Oh.

I have a surprise.

- Are those...

- Your grandmother's diamond earrings.

She wore them the night

she met your grandfather,

and I wore them the night

I met your father.

They're beautiful, Aunt J.

They are more than beautiful.

These are better than a full moon.

You wear these

and men will be falling at your feet.

Now, Leslie, I know that

you don't like this flashy style,

but I do want one of you

to wear these tonight.

Me?

Really? Oh, my God.

- Really?

- Yes.

Okay.

What do you think?

- I think I'm gonna go get dressed.

- Well, make sure you wear a dress.

Listen,

it's all about the law of attraction.

Okay, I'm all for that.

- You look amazing, baby girl.

- Thank you, Daddy.

- The Deuce and a Quarter?

- Every princess needs a chariot.

Thank God 'cause I was not about to go

in that Mustang.

Daddy, you are too fly!

Yeah, yeah, I'm the man.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Hey, watch the potholes

and don't break too many hearts.

Maybe one or two.

I'm so excited.

- Bye, Daddy.

- Bye!

Oh, my God. This is...

I hope it never end

Wanna stay here

Where we stand, it's so clear
