So?

Your boyfriend

took some money...

I happened

to notice this bottle...

Take that,

I'll shoot your ass.

What's up?

Baby, you need to chill.

Excuse me?

Holy cow.

You comfortable?

A futon is actually

better for your back.

So, Billy,

where'd you play?

Some college

in Louisiana.

Things didn't

work out.

You been hustling

ever since, huh?

Nobody knows me here.

I'll work the courts.

I have a business proposal.

It could mean more cash

than this chump change.

What is it?

There's a two-on-two

tournament next week,

sponsored

by businesses.

You want me

to run with you?

Yep. In the meantime,

we could make some change,

if you don't mind hustling.

What kind of hustle?

Heh heh.

Ball up.

You ain't got sh*t.

You ain't funny.

I'll kill you.

You got me by what,

7,000 pounds, man?

Watch the pick.

Look up, look up!

Goddamn!

Way to go!

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

I tell you,

it's hard work

making you look bad.

Who the f*** told you to talk,

motherf***er?

You score on me,

talk.

Shut me down,

you can talk.

Eat sh*t, shut up.

You took me. Why?

I let you take me

to the hole.

I take you anywhere,

have you for breakfast.

Put up some jack.

Who rattled your cage,

d*ckhead?

You talkin' a whole lot

of yang.

I'll pick

any player here,

even the worst

player here,

for $500.

Excuse me?

Scu... scu... scuse me?

I'll let you

pick my teammate.

Motherf***er

ain't serious, man.

I don't believe

this sh*t, man.

Anybody.

Anybody you want.

$500, baby, and you can pick

anybody out here.

Anybody. Anybody.

I don't believe this.

Yo, Raymond,

look at the chump, man.

Give him the chump.

No, no, no.

Hell, no. No, no.

You give me

a brother.

You got him,

the goofy-looking guy.

Me?

Yeah, you.

I'm f***ed.

Hey, chump,

you want to run?

You mean

play basketball?

No. We mean ice hockey.

Get your tired butt

up here, Gretzky.

Where's your money?

I'll get it.

I got my $500.

Where's yours?

I said I'll get it.

I'm going to the glove

compartment.

Go, and bring your Sasquatch butt

on back here.

I got a hot hand.

I got your back,

Raymond.

What's this?

What the hell

is this world coming to?

Look at this. I ain't got nothing

to worry about,

except Cathy Rigby

over here.

Yo, man,

where is his car, man?

Is he ever going to

come on back?

Hey, give me your money!

Raymond, that you?

No. This ain't Raymond.

Take off that mask

and put down that gun.

Sh*t.

What you trying to do?

I got me some chumps

on the line.

Loan me some money.

Get the f*** out.

All right.

Look, man,

you need a gun.

There are some crazy

motherfuckers

walking around

this neighborhood,

a lot crazier

than me.

Give me $300 for it.

Come on, man. 275.

All right.

Now you robbing me.

Jump for it...

You got busted

right there, man.

You think you can win

with him?

Here we go.

Here we go.

I got $250, man.

Come on.

I said 500,

no-count motherf***er.

250, take it

or leave it.

He just got out of jail.

He ain't goin'

nowhere with the money.

Let's do this.

I'll dog you.

I can make you

look bad.

Your mouth

got you in trouble.

If I was you, I'd stab myself

in the heart.

Come on.

Yeah, get up.

Move right.

Come on, come on.

That man

is a chump...

Sucker.

- Yeah!

- Yeah! Whoo!

Oh, lovely, lovely.

What did you say

your name is?

Billy Ho.

Nice to meet you.

Do it.

Let's go.

You're slow

on your feet, man.

Weight slows me down.

Come on.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Tim Hardaway,

my ass.

Get over there!

Shoot! Shoot!

Stay on him!

Man, he traveled!

Sh*t!

Point game.

That means one more point,

we win this.

I understand.

You going to teach class

or play?

I'm taking you right

to the clinic.

Class is in session

again.

Check.

Check this.

Too stupid

to catch it.

Yeah?

Look out,

look out!

I'll make you

eat that.

Here we go,

baby.

You better stay off,

baby.

Where you at?

Where you at,

sucker?

Sh*t!

Aha!

Give me my money!

What you doin'?

Hard goddamn work!

Aw, come here,

baby.

You played

a good game.

These motherfuckers

set us up.

Hey, man!

Hard goddamn work!

Raymond! Raymond!

Motherf***er!

Raymond!

You ain't gonna

cut me.

You set me up!

Look, look, look!

Raymond!

I seen you hustle!

I never used no goofy white

motherf***er.

Who you calling

goofy white motherf***er?

You!

That's cool.

That's cool.

Wait a minute!

This is ridiculous, man!

Look, Raymond,

we are brothers, man.

I've never seen this

white boy before in my life.

Sidney, you're negotiating

with a guy with a blade?

You got a wife and kid!

You know my name?

He's talking about

your family.

What?

Wait a minute!

You talking about

my wife and kid

and don't know me?

Raymond, cut this

motherf***er.

Yo, say what?

Cut that motherf***er

right there.

No, no. F*** this.

Both you motherfuckers

are crazy.

I'm going to my car...

get my other gun,

shoot everybody's ass.

I'm outta here.

Raymond! Raymond!

Raymond!

Aw, sh*t, man!

Y'all better

Raymond!

Sh*t. Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Go! Go! Go!

Whoo hoo! Hoo!

Ooh! Took Raymond

to the hole, baby!

Boo yaa!

Whoo!

You know, nobody's done that

around here since...

the King

and Duck Johnson.

King and Duck!

King and the Duck!

Hey...

what is this?

Jimi Hendrix.

I know.

Why are you playing Jimi?

Because I like

to listen to him.

That's the problem.

Y'all listen.

What am I supposed to do,

eat it?

No. You're supposed

to hear it.

I said I like to

listen to him.

There's a difference between

hearing and listening.

White people can't

hear Jimi. You listen.

What are you talking about?

His drummer was white.

Ah ho ho ho!

Get out! Jimi Hendrix'

drummer was not white.

Yes, he did.

Check it out.

See?

This is a picture!

Whole band is white

except for Jimi!

This is a picture!

Airbrushed! Jimi didn't have

a white rhythm section.

You cannot hear Jimi!

All right. Fine.

All right.

Thank you.

Check this out.

He said I'll love you

Till I die...

Who is this?

The greatest troubadour

of all time

is who it is.

Troubadour?

Sounds like a dog.

That's a Labrador, man.

Don't insult

this music.

Take this out.

You're listening,

not hearing it.

I don't want to listen

or hear this.

This is pollution

to my ears.

Explain to this Gladys Knight

and the Pimps...

It's Gladys Knight

and the Pips!

Put Jimi back in.

I don't like this.

You're supposed to

defend me.

Who you yelling at?

Get rid of that gum!

I'm tired of

hearing it pop!

He still loved her

through it all

Tell this bubblehead

to go right here.

Guy could get shot

playing this sh*t

south of the Coliseum.

Let me off

at the Trump Towers.

Penthouse is

in the back.

Kept some letters

by his bed...

Vista View.

The flyest view

in the jungle.

Home sweet home.

You know it, baby.

That was

a good run today.

Good run.

Some of that money

you made,

you could take this car

to the car wash.

This is one

classic automobile.
