and all of those people in there,

the only reason

that they're interested in you

is because you're famous.

I'd like to see for myself.

Well, that's fine.

I will, um...

make arrangements

with the very best candidates.

What do you think about that,

my big man?

We've been doing musical dinner theater

now over 6 years.

... In over 27 cities.

... Mm-hmm.

No more hard-knock life

for you, Calvin.

## The sun'll come out tomorrow ##

## Bet your bottom dollar

that tomorrow ##

## They'll be sun ##

We run a tight ship, Cambridge!

Roll call 0600!

I think you're gonna flip

for my sugar-free

seaweed rice cream.

## I just stick out my chin ##

## And grin ##

All right, good buddy.

Now Denise here

will home school you

'cause we're on the road 24-7.

## And I say ##

Ya, Ras Clap, ya have to

## Tomorrow, tomorrow ##

How tall are you, boy?!

How tall are you?!

You'll learn to hold your bladder.

## We love ya tomorrow ##

## You're only a day ##

## Away ##

You see, Calvin?

You're best off here...

with me.

Hey, yo, Trace.

Tracy:
Hello?

It's me, Calvin.

Calvin. Wait. You're here?

Yeah, I'm here,

and it took me 4 busses

to get here, too.

Uh, all right.

Dang.

Man, this is where you live?

Calvin, what are you doing here?

Hey, I just can't wait

to see the inside.

Calvin.

Calvin, wait. Calvin.

Come on, Calvin.

Tell me why you're here.

Aw, this is tight.

Look at all the stuff you got, man.

Yeah. Yeah, it's tight.

So come on, man, tell me what's up.

Why you here?

I wanna check your place out.

You know, just look at your crib

and everything.

What do you call this game?

I have no idea.

It came with the house.

Oh, man.

So you're not gonna tell me

why you're here?

We need one of these

at the orphanage.

OK, OK. So I take it

you don't wanna tell me

what's goin' on with you.

I understand.

It's your prerogative.

That's cool.

No, I mean, nothin's goin' on.

I mean, everything's all right.

Everything's goin' real well.

Everything's perfect.

Uh, everything's, uh,

you know, uh...

All right, man.

Everything's goin' real

terrible right about now.

My best friend Murph,

he's mad at me.

Bittleman lied to me.

He set up the worst parents

in orphan history

to come meet with me.

And then, on top of that,

I have a geometry test tomorrow,

and I hate geometry.

Mmm.

All right, well, listen,

I'm sure the right parents

are gonna show up for you, OK?

It's just a question of time,

so you gotta have a little faith.

All right?

But in the meantime...

call your boy Murph.

- Right now?

- Right now, yes.

Good friends are hard to come by,

so you gotta keep things

straight with 'em.

You have your geometry work with you?

Yeah.

You know a little somethin'

about geometry?

Do I know about geometry?

Ha ha ha!

Do I know about geometry?

Take-Take your time on that call,

and, um, meet me outside.

I gotta...

I know geometry, but let me...

OK, now, the key

to the whole geometry thing

and gettin' the hang of these triangles

is to super-size them.

- Super-size?

- Super-size.

You painted your house.

All right, look. Tell me

what triangle this is right here.

All right, look. Tell me

what triangle this is right here.

Um...

I'm not familiar with this one.

I don't know.

All right.

Let me give you a hint.

So you got MJ over there

posting up

a small point guard, right?

You got Rodman over there

on the other side of the court

with his hair.

Now Pippen comes

to screen for Michael.

So what do you got?

Well, this is the Bulls'

triangle offense, right?

Right.

We're just givin' room

for Michael to isolate.

Isolate. Isosceles.

An isosceles triangle.

Exactly.

The Lakers use this triangle offense.

This triangle has equal sides

for Kobe and Shaq.

Equal sides. OK.

This is an equilateral triangle.

There you go.

See, you're gettin' it.

You're gettin' it.

OK. OK.

Uh, I got this.

You got this one?

- OK, now this is us.

- Uh-huh.

And you know the type

of triangle offense we use

is the acute offense...

well, the acute triangle offense.

- OK.

- That's because

Calvin Cambridge is so damn cute.

Oh, man, give me a break.

I'm the cute one.

- No, I am.

- No, see.

Look at the picture.

I'm the cute one.

- No.

- OK, go ahead. Fine.

All right. So...

OK, see, here's Joad, right?

- Right.

- This is Joad.

Joad's gonna take the ball out.

He's gonna pass all the way to you.

- OK.

- You're right here.

- Right.

- See me?

I'm gonna be headin' down court

for the full-court lob pass

just like this, right?

Oh, hey, Calvin. Calvin.

Don't put paint on

my windows, all right?

But I'm gonna be wide open.

You gotta pass me the ball.

I'm warning you, all right?

Don't do it.

And then...

Wham!

and the assist...

to Reynolds.

Oh, OK.

So you think you're cute

puttin' the paint and then

messin' up the house, huh?

Well, let me see what we've got.

Let's say if I went and did...

Oh! Aw. Hey!

Orange looks nice on you, man.

That's not funny.

No, it really is funny

'cause it looks nice.

It goes nice with the blue and...

Oh, really?

Yeah. You kinda look

like a rainbow or...

Well, the orange looks really nice...

Calvin, I know you're not gonna do that.

- Oh!

- On you!

You really think it's funny?

No, no, no, no, no!

What are you doin'?

Cal. Calvin.

Calvin. Whoa!

Aah!

You must be Tracy.

You must be Murph.

Yeah, that's me.

What's up, Murph?

Hey, Cal.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm pretty good.

But can you believe

the cab ride here cost 50 bucks?

You should have took the bus.

Tracy, can you lend me 49.50?

Heh. All right, Murph.

I'll go get my wallet.

So what have you guys been up to?

Geometry.

Think you could teach me?

## All I'm tryin'to do

is get my dough on ##

## I'm your boy,you're my girlfriend ##

## Stop, hold up ##

## I ain't in no kind of rush to grow up,

so slow up ##

## I'm just playin'the game ##

## Let me warn you, girl ##

## Before you get rough with me ##

## You might think you got me,

but you never really get me ##

## So don't trip

if you see me doin'my thing ##

## I told ya ##

## I'm just playin'the game ##

## Yeah ##

## Playin'the game ##

- Aah!

- Whoa!

Cannonball!

When Calvin Cambridge

comes to your town,

you'd better watch out.

Well, that was the fiinal word

from Gary "the Glove" Payton tonight

after the Seattle Sonics battled it out

with Cambridge

and the Los Angeles Knights.

Yeah, now you know

what it feels like to be in the glove.

It's more like a mitten, Gary.

Kenny Mayne:
The Knights rallied

around Cambridge after that,

and before it was all over,

Payton got the gate.

Get him outta here, Ref.

Rich Eisen:

And Kenny, how about the way

Reynolds jumped in

to protect Cambridge?

How about that?

They're startin' to come together, Rich.

The team's gelling at this point,

and with 3 games left in the season,

they are only 2 wins away

from their first ever trip

to the play-offs.
