I wouldn't know.

You wanna get some dinner?

No. I'm taking Cheryl out.

Where are you takin' her?

Buffet, probably.

Special!

Yeah.

You need shirt?

Don't think so.

What are you doin'?

Me and Boy might get up to something.

You got a button-up?

Yeah, I got a button-up.

You promise?

Yeah.

I mean, I want to talk to my brothers

about it first, but...

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'll call you later.

Be sweet.

What are you doin'?

Watching you being a stud.

- You sleep out here?

- No, I ain't been to bed yet.

Wanna get some breakfast?

Yeah.

Where's Henry?

I tied him up out back last night.

I need a burrito.

Let's do it.

Seen my wallet?

What about full-court man-to-man?

No, man-to-man's no good.

Depends too much on how you

size up against the other team.

I think we gotta go with, like, a zone.

Full-court press so we can practice

some running against anybody.

I thought you ran one of those

last year?

Well, I took a defense off

Nolan Richardson,

but, I dunno,

we didn't have the depth to run it.

Yeah, that's always been your weakness.

What?

Well... I mean, it seems like

every game I ever been to your...

it's like the other team

is shooting layups.

Here, look at this.

Something I've been working on lately.

We set traps back here...

cut off the incoming pass.

Most of these kids can't

throw all the way down court...

so we bring up our five men.

We cut them off and grab that game.

Hey, Kid.

- What's up, Shampoo?

- Boy.

You talk to Son yet about me

parking my car over there?

Not yet.

Come on man, talk to him.

I'll talk to him

when I wanna talk to him.

Sh*t.

Heard y'all caused a scene

over that funeral?

Yeah?

Yeah, Mark Hayes is goin' on about it.

What'd he say?

He said he might have to

kick a little ass. -Said what?

Something about kicking y'all's ass.

You believe that sh*t?

I tell you what...

If you see him,

you tell him to come find me.

Sh*t, I don't see him!

What if I end up

cheatin' on her, though?

Well, you end up in a situation

where you're seein' two girls.

I guess you just gotta

love both of them.

What?

You gonna eat that?

I don't know, I start thinkin'

'bout houses and kids,

other women...

I see a nice bootie,

I'll still gonna look at it.

Whacha all doin'?

We're gonna see if this thing works.

Well, she runs.

- You found this thing?

- Yeah.

Damn, that's cold!

Cut it, cut it. Cut it!

Cut it.

See that? One fuel line looks

like that you got popped off.

- You know how to do it?

- No.

What are they teachin' you

at that college?

- Nothin' good.

- You hear that, John?

Here, take that.

You'd be better off

stickin' around here this fall.

That's good.

Good, you got it!

Deserves a cold beer.

Hey, y'all should know...

Especially about the sh*t

that happened.

Dad was proud of you.

You know you have

to put a bobber on that?

I know.

Henry, let's go.

Pretty boy,

ready to catch some fish?

What's up, buddy?

Watch out for that net!

I'm just jokin'.

Your daddy was gonna fish without

the bobber, can you believe that?

OK, let's get up on that rock.

OK. Now wheel it in,

just a little bit.

OK, that's good. Now we're

just gonna let it sit out there.

Hey Carter, you want

your sandwich? -No.

I need to clean my van up.

How much do they charge you

to keep that here?

Nothing, I know a guy

who works up here.

I still can't figure

why you sleep in that thing.

Beats payin' rent.

If I had an apartment,

I'd have to get a summer job.

This way it's like early retirement.

It's like... bein' a bum.

- Look at this.

- You got an extra sandwich?

Sh*t, man...

I gotta get her back in the house.

You need to stop gamblin'.

It's not the gamblin'.

I mean, she says that's it,

but that's not it.

She just wants me to...

stop screwing around.

Bring home that paycheck.

Be happy makin' 20.000 a year.

I can do better than that.

Better for me, better for her.

You know, I used to be able to divide

up to four decimal points in my head.

Top two players

come out Arkansas?

Sydney Moncrief

and Corliss Williamson.

What about Joe Johnson?

Nah, he don't play a year and a half.

I can fix that.

I can take that out for you.

What'll I listen to?

Hey.

Yeah, it's me.

So, I figure I drop them off to you,

about an hour.

You should put some rams on this thing.

I would if I had the money.

Thinkin' about puttin'

some lights up underneath.

That'd be tough, too.

Yeah, all right.

I gotta get some more quarters.

Watch Carter...

That your boy?

Stay here.

Yeah.

Wonder how he's gonna take it

when I give a speech at your funeral?

We didn't get a chance to talk

the other day.

We tried to catch up with you,

but you all ran out of there too fast...

like you might have been scared

or something.

I said what I needed to say.

You gonna have a problem with that?

Yeah, we're gonna have

a problem with it.

Let's not do this.

What'd you say?

Boy!

We'll see you.

Come on, boy.

- What's your deal?

- What?

Where the hell were you back?!

- C'mon, bud. -See you.

- See you, buddy.

So what's your f***in' problem?

- So, I'll see you soon.

- OK.

Is Annie here?

No, she's out.

- Bye, Son.

- Bye.

So what are we gonna do?

Nothin'.

That ain't gonna be

the end of it. -I know.

So just say it. I'll go

over his house and beat him.

- Calm down.

- What?

I said, calm down.

Calm down? Is that what you

were doing back there, being calm?

'Cause it sure as hell wasn't

you being scared, was it?

- F*** you.

- P*ssy!

Stop it!

I don't want you messin'

with Mark Hayes.

That's just what he's lookin' for.

You see him, you stay away from him.

You hear me?

But that's the last time

you ever stay out of the fight.

Let's go.

We need to talk.

You'd do well to get out

of my property.

This fight I heard about -

I don't wanna see any more of that.

You should talk to

your brothers about that.

I have.

Now I'm tellin' you.

Before too long, somebody's life will

get hurt and it might be one of yours.

Listen here.

I don't like you.

I don't like your family.

And if anything happens to one of

my brothers, I'll come after all of ya.

So, that's it?

That's it.

Hey.

Hey.

That your kids?

Two of them. Er, one of 'em

just moved here.

Are we all right?

Yeah.

Can you help me with something?

What?

Hold on, guys!

Hold on.

What's goin' on?

It's not that hard!

I'm sorry.

It's my boots.

Ah, forget it.

What about this one:

Best ballplayer

that ever act in a movie

that wasn't about sports?

Oh, geez...

Well, there's Wilt Chamberlain

in "Conan the Destroyer".

You got...

Kareem in a Bruce Lee's

"The Game of Death".

I think Barkley did a voice in

"Fievel Goes West".

- Is that true?

- Yeah.

Where's Henry?

I put him up behind the Son's

last night.

They had a fight at work,

that's how he got shot.

One guy say he got while he was

cheatin' on Annie.

That's not true.

Cheryl's here.

Look, she got you a burger.

You guys heard the, uh,
