Seriously, Mike.

I mean, there's a whole bunch of stuff

going on out there that could kill you...

...and you're taking

way too many chances.

Man, that was just a phase, Jimmy.

I'm over that sh*t.

Course you are.

Kids?

[PIGEONS COOING]

- Yeah, sure, man.

Get out.

Oh, yo, Jimmy, man,

I saw the most beautiful girl today.

I mean, she was smart, elegant.

Been thinking about her, man.

She got my heart.

Think her name was Robin.

MAN:

I'll call you later.

Hello, is, uh, Robin Givens there?

Good evening. May I speak to Robin?

ROBIN [ON PHONE]:

Hello?

Damn.

Hello, Robin. This is Mike. Mike Tyson.

ROBIN:
Hello, take two.

Hello? As in, to whom am I speaking?

Um, is this Robin?

That's my name. Don 't wear it out.

To whom am I speaking?

Uh, Mike Tyson.

ROBIN:

Mike Tyson? The fighter guy?

TYSON:

Yeah, that's right.

Well, this is a surprise.

A good one, I hope.

ROBIN:

So far, so good.

To what do I owe the pleasure

of this call, Mr. Mike Tyson?

Well, you know, I was kind of admiring

your work for a long time now...

...and you know, I was kind of thinking

that, maybe, you know...

...sometime we can get together,

you know, and, uh...

ROBIN:
By that, I take it,

you're hoping we could meet?

Yeah, yeah, you know, whatever.

I was thinking maybe I could come

out west and visit you.

[ROBIN CHUCKLES]

That's if it's okay with you.
