Ping Pong Playa Page #3
You're just
a terrible driver, dog.
Ow.
That was going in, man.
You ever see you drive, huh?
- At least I got a car.
- Ma!
Yeah, call for Mama.
"Stop. "
Ow.
Yeah, homey.
You don't think if I was 7'6"
like Yao Ming,
that I wouldn't be dunking on
fools all over the place, man?
I mean, even if I was just 6'6",
you know?
I mean, and not to say that
you know, I'd be the next,
you know, Kobe Bryant
or Manu Ginobili,
you know, but...
all I'm saying is that I'd be
you know, or at least
a Mark Madsen,
at the very least,
you know?
Chinese people
are just not meant
to be tall, man,
you know?
We're good at badminton,
fencing, stuff like...
I don't know.
You know, like gymnastics
and, man, Ping-Pong.
Ah!
Man, we should be running
some ball right now, feel me?
I feel you.
Take it from me, man.
Unless you want to become
the Chinese Napoleon Dynamite,
get out of Ping-Pong.
Got it?
Got it.
I'm just here
'cause my moms is hurt.
Otherwise, I'd be taking it
to the hole, man,
crossing fools over.
Did I ever tell you about that
championship game at district?
Man, it was awesome.
There was this
half-court shot, man.
It was like football field
delivery, man.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Chubby, let me show you
the backhand serve.
Ah, hey, I got this.
I got this.
Sure thing, coach.
Free Willy, man,
you working too hard, man.
You don't need to swing it
like a baseball bat, man.
Just chop it, all right?
Thanks.
That's awesome.
Teach me too.
Class is over, F-Bomb.
What did I tell you anyway?
You better start working
on your jump shot.
Please?
I'll give you $10.
Whoo!
Game over, man, game over.
Again. Again.
Aw, come on, man.
I got to get going.
Please?
All right, you
talked me into it.
Yes.
You have a reputation for being
sort of hard on the children.
Why is that?
Look, I'm just trying
to keep it real, all right?
life lessons, you know,
so they don't have to go
through all the pain
and humiliation and suffering
that I had to go through,
you know what I'm saying?
What do you mean
by "suffering"?
You know, man, you think
of becoming the first
Chinese player in the NBA?
Man, hell, no, man,
it was always about, you know,
"Go study, hit the books,"
man, "Go play violin. "
And you feel that held you back?
Hell, yeah, man.
I mean, dude, look at
my one Chinese brother, man.
His parents made him play the
accordion for ten years, man.
Look at what happened to him.
What happened?
Homey's in tech support
now, man.
It hurts me, dog.
It hurts me.
I'm sorry.
Don't touch me.
Aw, yeah.
Hey.
What you doing?
Man, I'm just trying
to holler at some honeys.
Feel me?
You mean that girl?
Hey, don't point like that.
That's not a honey.
That's my sister.
For real?
Damn, man, all this time,
why didn't you tell me
your sister was a hottie?
Ew.
Hey, she isn't
one of those girls
is she?
You want to help
a brother out?
Okay.
Just tell your sister
about Ping-Pong class
and how cool your teacher is
and stuff, all right?
All right.
But don't be obvious or nothing.
Just tell her, like, you know,
how your day went and all that
and your teacher
just happens to be
this really cool guy; got it?
Oh, good-looking too.
Don't forget that.
And good at basketball.
Got it.
All right. My ninja.
My ninja.
I want it.
You deserve it.
A- Train, hand over that PSP
and go with B-Diddy over here.
Hey, what did I tell you about
eating dried squid in class?
Man, you got
to take that outside.
That's him.
He's awesome.
What you doing, dog?
That's Henry.
He's from Manila.
Yeah, so?
He said he's better than
everyone at Chinese school.
That's why he doesn't
take Ping-Pong here.
I said you could beat him.
Come on, man.
I got a class to teach, man.
Plus, you know I haven't really
played in a little while.
Please?
I'll give you some money.
Ooh.
What if I lose?
You can still have it.
All right, hold up a second.
Free Willy,
Adam.
What you doing, dog?
Don't you know that "boba"
is Chinese for "boob"?
You know why?
You drink enough of it,
that's what you're
going to get, man b*obs.
Is that what you want?
Is it?
All right, you're going
to be my scorekeeper.
Watch and learn,
all right?
All right.
Game over, sucker.
Kablamo!
We showed him.
All the way back
to Chan Marino.
You got any more friends?
You got to rock
to the rhythm with 'em.
Got to give it to 'em.
Got to give a lot more
than the minimum.
Rock to the rhythm
with 'em.
Got to give it to 'em.
Got to give a lot more,
more, more.
Yo, wake up,
wake up.
It's a new day now.
Side step, right, left,
move when I break down.
How I get down?
Make 'em all sit down.
Either that or have them
hurrying to skip town.
Yeah, you're just like
good tobacco,
'cause I just put you
in my pipe and smoked you.
There you go.
Yeah, hey,
time to go to bed, old man.
Thanks for your business.
Who's next?
That's it.
That's it?
Come on, man.
That's like barely 40 bucks.
Man, where are
all your rich friends?
You got something to say,
come say it to my face.
You're a real boon
You're using your mom's class
to hustle suckers.
What did you say
about my mama?
All he's saying is,
maybe these students
deserve someone
a little more qualified.
Oh, you know,
all right, let's go.
Come on, what you want
to play for?
Please; whatever happened
to playing for sport?
All right,
you know what?
I got a few minutes
to kill.
Booyah.
Take my coat.
Oh, that's a bad China word.
Okay, first to 11 wins.
Skunk at 7.
- Come on, C-Dub.
- Do it. Booyah!
Two more points.
Smells pretty good to me.
Sorry, chum.
I got some more important
business to attend to.
Oh, he's walking away.
Gee, I'm shocked.
F- Bomb, finish up
with this fool.
Can we switch scores?
No.
Hi, how you doing?
Hi.
Yeah, I seen you around.
You play Ping-Pong?
Are you the instructor,
the guy that's been stealing
my brother's allowance?
Oh, wait, wait, hold on.
No, no, no.
You got the wrong dude.
That's the guy you want.
That kid?
He's like a Ping-Pong prodigy
or something.
- I'm serious.
- Really?
Yeah, he was on the news
the other day, man.
News lady said he's, like,
a genius or something.
Okay, thanks.
I like, I like,
I like cereal.
Don't put the box away;
I'm about to have me some more.
My favorite kinds
was made by Meneral Gills.
Big spoon, big bowl,
I got minimal spills.
I ain't finished
about yet.
In a minute,
I will.
While I'm
getting my cartoon,
it comes
from cinema thrills.
I be watching Master Killer
chomping 'Zilla Vanilla.
Maybe grape, that's the one
that had the purple gorilla.
I crunch,
Chumpster Hunch Munch,
watch the Dukes
doing stunt jumps.
Christopher...
