That's a bet!
I'll hold the money.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
I'll hold it.
I ain't going nowhere.
He ain't going nowhere.
The bakery ain't open yet.
We play to 10 by 1 s.
You make it, you take it.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Martha Graham!
Martha Graham,
can you play?
Can you come out
and play?
Do you think
you can play?
Can you come out
and play?
Do you think
you can play?
I got it!
Call out the screen!
Nice pick, man.
Damn! Switch, man!
Switch, my ass!
OK.
Right here.
Do it here!
I got it!
Can you come out
and play?
Do you think
you can play?
Whoo! Yes!
Yes!
Go back to Sea World,
motherf***er.
You let him back door you
like that?
I thought he was going to pass
the ball.
"D" up, man.
You don't know
what "D" is.
No, sh*t, Curly.
You f***ing Globetrotter.
Come on.
Come on! Come on!
Come on, man!
Can you come out
and play?
Hey, hey
Do you think
you can play?
Can you come out
and play?
Were you
going to shoot?
He was on my ass.
You were wide-open.
$1,700 is
on the line.
I'm not forcing
the shot.
Do you think
you can play?
Can you come out
and play?
Yes, baby!
Why are you
kicking out to me?
Take the shot.
I'm sorry, man.
You OK?
Yeah.
9-8, us, point game!
Check the ball.
One more bucket,
me and Zeke split $1,700.
No.
You tried to hustle.
Still wasn't good enough.
Are we going to
chitchat or play?
Get the f*** out!
Take me to
the hole, then.
Let's go!
I practice on people
like you.
Practice
playing this game.
Ball! Ball!
Ball! Ball!
I'm going to take your money,
then your girl.
Take your old girl.
You're holding me!
I ain't holding you!
That's all you're doing.
Hey!
Get this jump!
Oh!
Yes!
Both of y'all go
back to Sea World!
- 1,700!
- 1,700!
Hey!
Goddamn!
Give me my money.
It was so nice
just to hold it.
I am dead.
I am dead.
Oh, man.
I'm sorry, man.
I thought
I had it.
I'm dog meat.
She'll dump me now.
I feel terrible.
I had a lousy game.
Sh*t! We're better
than those guys!
I've beat guys
I know.
It's my fault.
It's nobody's fault.
Sometimes the ball
doesn't go down.
Look, man.
You want a ride?
I'm taking the rail.
I got to figure out how I'm going
to tell Gloria
I lost everything
we had again,
then figure out where
Hey, Billy,
I'm sorry, man.
I mean that!
I'm sorry!
39 is the answer.
What is
the question?
How many books are in
the Old Testament?
I am so f***in' good.
Did Jeopardy!
Call yet?
Not yet, but I'll
need a nice dress.
When they call,
you got to be ready.
You want to hear
the books
of the Old Testament
backwards?
It's Malachi,
Zechariah, Haggai...
Honey, please.
I did famous women
and foods that
start with "Q."
You couldn't imagine
that actually start
with "Q."
Honey, will you
please shut up?
What's wrong with you?
I lost the money.
Oh, Jesus, Billy!
Not again!
How much?
A lot of it.
Most of it.
Roughly... all of it.
Billy, you lost all
our f***in' money?
Sh*t, Billy!
Jesus, man!
$1,700!
Billy!
We were on our way
to 8,000!
Were your opponents
that good?
I beat better guys
in Jersey.
You weren't hitting
your jump shots?
I was hitting mine.
What about Sidney?
He had an off day.
He wasn't
shooting much.
This guy scored
on him.
He wasn't D-ing up.
He usually plays
good "D."
You got hustled.
I did not
get hustled.
You got set up.
You got hustled by Sidney!
No. He's a good guy.
You said
he's full of sh*t!
And he's a good guy!
You're full of sh*t.
And f*** that sh*t!
I'm going back to
that house
and getting
my money back.
No, no, no, honey.
A man cannot ask
for his money back.
He lives in
the jungle, right?
No, honey, we can't.
They don't let white people
in the Crenshaw District.
I don't know
about Puerto Ricans,
but it's a reverse
discrimination thing.
We dropped off Sidney on the corner
of Crenshaw and Washington.
Honey,
you don't understand.
Men understand
Wasn't there
Let me explain.
Men's rules
are very simple.
If you win, you win.
If you lose, you lose.
You don't ask
for the money back.
Why not?
It's not part
of the rules.
Yeah? I got a different
set of rules.
Want to hear them?
Sometimes when you win,
you really lose.
Sometimes when you lose,
you really win.
Sometimes when you win
or lose, you actually tie.
Sometimes when you tie,
you actually win or lose.
I hate it when you
talk like that.
It makes me crazy
when you talk like that.
Winning and losing is
one big organic globule
from which one extracts
what one needs.
I'm f***ed.
Forget it.
I ain't... no, no.
I'm not getting
off this bus.
No, stop!
Can we discuss it?
Can we have
a discussion here?
Yes?
Does Sidney Deane
live here?
He does.
He's my husband.
Yeah, well,
from my boyfriend.
Really?
Just a minute.
Sidney?
Yeah, baby?
Some people out here
Oh, sh*t.
No, baby.
I didn't steal his money.
I hustled his money.
Yo! Cindy Brady!
That girl is fine!
Cindy Brady,
what happened?
What do you want?
Who invited you
in my house?
I did.
I want to talk to...
Gloria.
That man hustled me
long before
I ever hustled him.
I saw
the whole thing.
What goes around
comes around.
Then you won't mind
if Gloria and I talk.
You want something
to drink?
Please.
This boy got
a lot of guts.
Billy Ho!
Good to see you, Billy!
You look swell!
You f***ed me, man.
Get out in front
of the TV.
You f***ed me!
We had a partnership!
We were never partners.
Look,
it goes like this.
You either smoke,
or you get smoked.
And you got smoked!
Ha ha!
Clean as my gun.
Yes, it was.
Smooth.
A thing of beauty
is a joy forever.
Sidney, get this guy
to shut the f*** up!
I'll go the way
you like...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I want my money.
You not getting
the money back.
You giving me
my money back.
I'm not giving
you nothin'.
Billy and Sidney
were teammates.
Teammates can't
hustle each other.
Oh, really?
Why not?
It's not artistic!
I don't care
about art, OK?
All I care about
is getting out
of the Vista View
apartment building!
There ain't
no vista, no views,
or no vista
of views.
You want cream,
sugar, or what?
Cream.
I trusted you.
There are rules to hustling.
There's an ethics
involved.
That you wouldn't know
anything about.
and stabbed him in the back.
with the Pilgrims,
and look who got f***ed.
Who you calling Pilgrim?
You, motherfucking
Christopher Columbus.
Gobble this, turkey.
I got a gun
in my hand!
What the f***'s
wrong with you?
Shoot this motherf***er!
Hold it!
It's up!
Quick!
Aw, man!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Pop it, James! Yeah!
Good play.
That's a black man.
That's a black man.
