Ruling class
for $800.
18th-century czar who...
Who is Peter the Great?
Who is the Emperor
Constantine?
Who is King George?
She's in the zone.
Who was Victoriano Huerta?
You are right.
What is a toadstool?
What is chlorophyll?
Yes!
What are spores?
What is Australia?
What is
the Outer Hebrides?
Yes!
Yeah!
Whoo!
Gloria!
Billy, listen to me.
Even if Gloria
takes you back,
which would be
a f***ing miracle,
don't blow it.
Listen to the woman
carefully.
Women know sh*t.
Even if you don't know
what she's talking about,
just listen.
All right.
I'm sorry.
She doesn't want to see you.
Gloria!
Hey! I said she doesn't
want to see you.
Jesus!
It's locked.
B*tch.
It's OK.
It's all right.
There's another door, man.
You're on your own.
And remember,
you owe me big.
All right, man.
All right?
Honey.
All right...
Don't say anything,
all right?
Just listen for a second.
Ahem.
I will never
bring you water
When you're thirsting
in our bed
You know I
Understand dry-mouthedness
And I sympathize instead
And if you take me
back again
I won't be
such a slob
Let's screw.
I'd even trade
my sneakers in
For the part-time job,
my Gloria
My Gloria
Gloria
My, my Gloria
Gloria
I know that
you're angry
And you probably
want me dead
And I know screwing
is for carpenters
So let's make love
instead
And I know
I'll get it wrong
So forgive me
in advance
Gloria
My Gloria
Yeah
Tell me the truth.
You didn't think that
Jeopardy! Would call,
did you?
I must confess,
I didn't.
That's why you got to
trust me more.
You're right,
as usual.
I know.
I've been thinking
about the future.
- I really...
- Me, too.
The future is like
a whole new concept.
I mean, it's like...
I got to confess
that the summer pro league
isn't knocking down
my door.
There comes a time
in every man's life
when he has to get on
with his life.
I want you to take
2,000 of my winnings.
OK?
I think
that's a bad idea.
No, it's a good idea.
Go buy yourself
some new clothes.
Not for me. I like you
the way you are,
but you got to look good
on job interviews.
Job interviews?
Yeah.
I want you to aim high.
Well, I, I...
I want to aim high,
but I'm just nervous
about taking
your money again.
I'm afraid I might
do something stupid.
Take it.
I trust you.
They took everything.
I feel raped.
They took everything!
They wiped us out.
They took everything!
They took my TV,
the stereo,
my baby's crib.
What kind of human being
would steal a crib?
I've been trying
to reach you.
They took everything.
Who?
Burglars.
Who do you think?
Your TV, your stereo,
everything.
And they trashed
the place!
Oh, look
at this here!
I'll be goddamned!
Baby, we'll get
our stuff back.
You promised
to get me out of here.
They took our $5,000.
Wiped us out.
I know somebody knows
what happened.
You can't take that stuff
and not see something.
You didn't have to
trash the place!
F*** me!
I'm sorry.
OK?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry
I lost it.
Baby, you don't have to
apologize to me.
I want a job.
OK.
All right.
You get a job.
Right now,
I'll figure out
how to get us out of
this goddamn building.
All right?
If I can win 12,000
each week, right?
Times 5,
plus 20
for the annual title,
that'll give us...
80 grand.
We're rolling now.
I could take
some acting classes,
get on a soap,
do a little television.
I'll be ready for the big screen
in two years.
You're made
for the big screen.
Billy!
It's Sidney.
Sidney.
Hey, Billy!
Billy.
Sidney.
I've been
looking for you.
We got to talk,
alone.
What's this,
a macho dick thing?
Come on, now.
Can I watch?
Don't worry
about me, babe.
Billy, you got
some money?
A little. Why?
Eddie "The King" Faroo
and Duck Johnson are back.
They're working courts
downtown.
They're cleaning up.
The King and Duck?
We can take them!
It costs 2,500
to get in.
I got 2 grand, man!
Good, good.
Let's do this.
Hold it.
Hold it. Hold it.
Hold on, man.
I just got back together
with Gloria.
I don't know
how she'll react.
This money could
save my marriage.
With this score,
I could move in a week.
I don't think
she'll go for it.
Make her!
F*** that.
You owe me.
I know, man, but I...
All right.
Enough man talk.
What's up?
Honey,
you are so beautiful.
Sometimes I don't realize
how lucky I am.
You know something,
honey?
There is a big game
downtown.
For money?
No! No, no.
Well, yeah.
I mean, a little bit.
Billy!
Are you serious?
with my money?
Your money?
You gave it to me!
To get a job!
I promised Sidney,
honey.
You promised me!
I promised you and him.
I owe you and him.
I'll give you
the winnings.
I don't care
about the money.
I don't want
the money!
What do you want?
I want you, stupid!
We can take these guys.
They're over the hill.
Look, Billy,
you gamble my money,
and we're through.
I promise
this is the last time.
Do you think that
I'm a f***ing moron or something?
You take me
for an idiot?
All right.
All right.
I have a solution, OK?
I will guarantee victory.
I've never
offered that before.
I will guarantee victory.
I... We...
We can guarantee
victory. Huh?
Yeah.
I love you, Billy.
Goodbye.
Honey.
All right, honey.
All right. Listen,
if you don't want to watch,
we'll just meet up
at the hotel later,
and we'll party.
We'll celebrate.
We're on a roll, honey.
We're on a roll!
Show him that
fly sh*t, Sidney.
Come on, Billy.
You got him, Sidney.
He can dunk,
baby.
You got him.
I got Billy.
All right.
King,
shut him out!
Come on, Duck!
You got some money?
Hell, yeah.
I got $50.
You got me.
I got Billy.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Sweet!
Oh, yes!
Yeah!
Yes! Yes!
Sweet!
Sweet! Sweet!
"D" up!
"D" up!
Stay up.
Stay up on him.
Watch the pick!
Watch the back door!
Back door!
Yes! Come on.
Take it in.
Take it in, Sid!
Yeah!
All right, man!
Play some defense, Billy!
Dig this
I love the pearl
Ow! Where's my girl?
Ow!
All the way,
baby.
Yeah.
Way to go.
Way to go, baby.
Damn!
Uh!
F***!
Get your hands up.
Come on, man!
Push it, Sidney.
In, baby, in!
My man!
Ah! Ya-haa!
Yeah, yeah!
Yeah, Sidney!
All of it
on the line.
14-13.
Point game.
Point game.
Got to put
the ball up, man.
You're gonna rock,
aren't you?
Come on with it.
Hit him hard, man.
Hit him hard.
Stay with him.
Stay with him.
You want to dance
or play basketball, brother?
You going to dance
or play ball, man?
Watch him down low.
I got him.
I got him.
To the right!
Bringing it up.
Watch him! Watch him!
Give it up, man.
Watch the pick.
Aaahh!
Hoo hoo!
Whoo!
Gloria.
Gloria?
Gloria!
Honey!
She's gone.
Oh, man!
Oh, man. Now,
that's not right.
That's not right.
I didn't lose
the money.
I doubled the money,
and I still
got it wrong.
How can that be?
She said
some crazy sh*t.
She said sometimes
when you win,
