Stop!

Gimme the sneakers!

You can't have 'em!

Get off my sneakers, man!

Get off him!

Gimme your sneakers, Calvin!

- Get off my sneakers!

- Hey!

Hey, hey! Stop! Get off!

Get off Calvin!

Do not hurt Calvin!

What are you doing?

Are you OK?

Look, do not hurt him.

Do you know how valuable

he is to me?

It's his sneakers.

That's how he can play so well.

You lay one more hand on him,

and you're sleeping in the basement.

All right, everybody.

Go to sleep.

It's all over.

Good night.

Joad:
Come on.

Get outta the way.

No, I'm in first place.

Why would I let you by?

Oh. I ain't see, why you got your...

My hand ain't all in your face.

What's with the bumpin', man?

I'm about to win the Daytona Cup.

Get outta the way.

Oh! Whoo!

Who's your daddy?

That's only 5, man.

You can't get me 6 in a row.

No way.

Hey, T-time.

I just whupped on Joad again.

See, I call Tracy "T-time."

Hey, T-time,

how come you haven't

given me a nickname yet?

I don't know.

See, I've been thinkin'

about somethin' like

"C-square," or "C-cam,"

or "C-bridge."

I'm gonna pick up

some allergy medicine.

I might pick up some sleeping pills

so you don't keep me up

with your snorin' all night.

Oh, um... well, uh,

can I go?

Heh. Well, uh, no.

Hey, um, Trace,

but, um, well, l...

Dang.

Don't take it personally, Cal.

He doesn't even like to spend time

with his own family.

- Family?

- Yeah.

I thought he didn't have any parents.

No, he's still got his dad.

He just doesn't talk to him.

Radio Deejay:

Sacramento, capital city,

hip-hop's super station.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

This is my song right here.

## Y'all gonna make me lose my mind ##

## Up in here, up in here ##

Go, X! Ha!

## Go all out, up in here,

up in here ##

## Y'all gonna make me act a fool ##

## Up in... ##

Oh!

What you doin' here, Calvin?

Stairs are faster than the elevator.

Dang, your rappin's despicable.

Terrible.

Sound like Michael Jackson

with a sore throat, man.

Oh, my rappin' sucks?

OK, can you do better?

Let me see you do better.

## To be messin' with me,

you...you ain't strong enough ##

## So y'all gonna make me

act the fool, up in ##

## What? What? What-What? ##

- Cal.

Calvin, Calvin, Calvin.

Stick to playin' basketball, man.

'Cause you know why?

'Cause you can't rap.

You can do better?

I can do better.

Let me see you do some.

## Up in here, up in here ##

## Y'all gonna make me lose my mind ##

## Up in here, up in here ##

## Y'all gonna make me...##

- TLC.

- There you go.

Fishin' pole on 'em.

- Aah.

- Uh-oh, pop lock.

OK, can you bring me some?

Bring some. Bring some.

All right.

- Whoa.

- Uh-oh. Pass it back.

Pass it back. Oh!

-## Won't you ##

- Oh!

## Meet me outside with my rough riders ##

## Meet me outside, meet me outside ##

## Meet me outside ##

## Meet me outside, meet me outside ##

- Tracy.

- ## Meet me outside ##

## Meet me ##

What's goin' on?

How come you

told me that your dad was dead?

And he really isn't?

- Calvin, look, look, no.

- Why?

I don't wanna talk about

this right now, OK?

But I don't understand, Tracy.

I would do anything...

anything... to have a father.

Don't worry about it.

Wait right here.

Ah. Excuse me.

I'm here to pick up my order.

I can help you with that.

What's the name?

Reynolds.

Tracy Reynolds.

I thought I recognized you.

- Right.

- I seen your ads.

You're that, um,

accountant, right?

You comfortable?

Very much so, yes.

So you know my name.

Um, do you have a name for me?

Allegra.

Allegra?

That's a very pretty name.

Allegra.

Is that French? Spanish?

It's your allergy medicine.

See, I knew that. I knew that

'cause my parents was from France.

Come on.

Now these are your sleeping pills.

Red cap.

- OK, OK.

- They're very strong.

So take one right before bed.

Got it.

This is your allergy medicine.

Blue cap. Take one twice a day.

- OK.

Thanks for your help.

Oh, and Tracy...

that crossover move

you do to your left,

you're telegraphing it.

Oh. See, I knew.

I knew you knew

about Tracy Reynolds.

I knew you...I knew.

See, I knew you would...

Yeah. Well, bye.

What-What took you so long?

It's almost curfew.

Don't worry.

We'll be back at the hotel in a minute.

You all right?

Yeah.

It's like butter, baby.

What? What?

Are you all right, man?

Uh, yeah. I'm good.

You sure?

Mm-hmm.

Mmm. I'm good.

I worry about you sometimes, Tracy.

Tracy.

What? What's up?

What's up? What?

I don't want you doin'nothin'crazy

like fallin'asleep on me! Man, wake up!

OK, OK, all right.

Put the pool in back,

put the diving board

in the shallow end.

And I'm all good.

This is all so...

Tray!

Tracy!

- Tracy!

Man.

I can't see squat.

Dang!

Hmm? Allegra.

Huh?

Tracy...

you better hold on

for this one.

Dang.

Bellhop.

Hey, Trace. Trace.

Check it out.

Calvin got benched

for goin' out joyridin' last night.

What'd he do somethin'

like that for?

I don't know.

He did it to keep you

from getting suspended.

What?

How do you think

you got back last night?

Listen, um,

I'm sorry you got suspended.

And this is really hard

for me to say, but...

I appreciate what you did for me.

You had my back... C-dog.

You're welcome, T-time.

All right. Now listen,

the team really needs you to win

so why don't you

get some sleep, all right?

You really that afraid of the dark?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Listen, don't worry about it.

'Cause, you know,

we all have our fears.

Like me and this

whole flying thing, man.

- Yeah.

- It scares me.

Well, see, my thing is,

you're getting on the plane.

Mm-hmm.

That's brave.

Hmm.

Right.

OK, OK. So since I'm brave

in gettin' on this plane,

why don't you be brave...

and turn off the light?

I don't know.

Hmm.

Are you prepared for

that big test tomorrow?

Yes, Sister Theresa.

Reg, you have to help me, please.

I'm not helping you

with your geometry.

Why?

Because I don't understand it

any more than you do.

Welcome, everybody,

and follow me into the room.

Who are all those people?

Parents, here to see you.

What's wrong, Murph?

I mean, that's a good thing, right?

Good for you.

It doesn't do us any good.

Murph.

Congratulations.

Go get adopted.

What's wrong with him?

What do you think?

I don't know.

Bittleman told me

that I couldn't get adopted.

And you believe Bittleman?

Coach Wagner On Phone:

His contract says nothing

about adoption.

Look, why would you send

all of these people here?

Calvin deserves a home.

You're only interested

in making money off him.

Look, with all due respect,

Coach Wagner,

child custody law is very complex.

Mr. Bittleman.

Coach Wagner:
Just because you

signed his contract as his guardian...

I'll call you back.

I'll call you back.

Coach Wagner:

Wait! I'm not through talkin'...

Yes, what is it, Calvin?

You lied to me.

What are you talking about?

You told me

no one can adopt me.

I never said that.

Look, Calvin,

bear in mind I have cared for you

way before

you were rich or famous,
