He's taking Alan out.

Hop in, buddy.

We're heading over

Everyone's

Why don't you hang out

down here with us?

We're, you know.

What are you trying

to do, Gerry?

Listen, when

something unexpected comes,

you just got to pick it up

and run with it.

I'm not running in the same

direction as you are, Gerry.

Come with us.

Look, standing up

for what you believe in,

it's all well and good,

but...

you got your priorities

real mixed up this time.

Are you comin'

or not, man?

!! The way you stole my heart!!

been a cool crook!!

!!And, baby,

What, man? It's on me, man.

We party on. Let's go.

Look--look here, man,

This here's Virginia.

All right?

They got problems with,

you know--

They don't want us

in there, man.

Oh, man, that's history, bro.

It's on me. Come on.

Woman:
:!! So lonely!!

!! Without you!!

!!But our love!!

We're full tonight, boys.

What? There's tables

all over the place, man.

What are you

talking about?

Well, this is

my establishment.

I reserve the right

to refuse service to anybody.

Yeah, that means

you, too, hippie boy.

Now, y'all want

somethin' to eat,

you can take these boys

out back

and pick it up

from the kitchen.

What'd I tell you,

man?

Yo, come on, Petey, man!

Petey,

I didn't know, man.

I told you! What you

mean you didn't know?!

You think I was

playing with you?!

Man, he didn't know,

Petey.

Blue, he don't

want to know.

You pull some crap

like that,

you better be able

to back it up.

Man,

let's go, man.

Why don't you

cool out? Cool out!

Let's go, Rev.

Man,

let's go, man.

What happened?

This man acting

a fool tonight, man.

Petey.

Man, don't even talk

to that man, man.

He acting all crazy

and stuff, man.

It don't even

make no sense.

Petey.

He know the man's

from out of town.

player of the week.

He's not some

walk-on scrub, Yoast.

The boy's a player.

He's a star.

And he busted

his butt for you.

This is all your doing,

you blacks.

That is enough.

It's my call.

Now listen.

You just go on

home now, Fred,

before you do something

that you're going to regret.

Yeah, well...

I guess we won't be seeing

much of him, huh?

I will.

He's on the deacon

board with me.

All right,

listen, about Petey...

no thanks required,

Coach.

Thanks?

You challenged

my authority

in front of the entire

football team, Coach.

Now, you think you're

doing these boys a favor

taking them aside every time

I come down on them,

protecting them

from big bad Boone.

You're cutting my legs

from under me.

Some of the boys

just don't respond well

to public criticism.

I tell them

what they need to know,

but I don't

humiliate them

in front of the team.

Which boys are you

talking about?

Which ones

you talking about?

I come down on Bertier.

I don't see you coddle him.

Come down on Sunshine.

Don't see you grab his hand,

take him off to the side.

Which boys

are you talking about?

Now, I may be a mean cuss,

but I'm the same

mean cuss

with everybody out there

on that football field.

The world

don't give a damn

about how sensitive

these kids are--

Especially

the young black kids.

You ain't doing

these kids a favor

by patronizing them.

You're crippling them.

You're crippling them

for life.

Hey.

Gerry,

what are you doing?

I'm going down

to the Berg.

The Berg?

Yep.

What are you doing

at the Berg?

I'm going to play

basketball with Julius.

Then we're going to

comeback here for dinner.

Gerry, if your father

was still alive--

Ma, would--

Just give him a chance.

Just get to know him.

Listen to him

for 2 seconds.

I don't want

to get to know him.

You are coming to church

with your mother.

Right, right, right!

He's mine!

Hut!

ou blew

your assignment!

Man, I'm covering for you.

Don't get in my face.

Yo, cool out.

Cool out.

Where you at?

What planet

you on tonight?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, it's fine, man.

I knew you was going

to stand me up.
