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 fucked me, man.
Get out in front of the TV.
You fucked 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 fuck 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.
I never shook anyone's hand and stabbed him in the back.
The Indians shook hands with the Pilgrims,
and look who got fucked.
Who you calling Pilgrim?
You, motherfucking Christopher Columbus.
Gobble this, turkey.
I got a gun in my hand!
What the fuck's wrong with you?
Shoot this motherfucker!
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.
Throughout our glorious life together,
I bought a car from the Stuccis for 3 grand.
It was shit. I didn't want to pay.
They told Billy unless he got their money back,
they would cut me up.
He had to get the money back.
The Stuccis decided to fix a basketball game.
Billy agreed, but halfway through,
he got pissed off and didn't throw it.
The Stuccis lost a bundle.
Wake up, girlfriend. It's your boyfriend.
He's got some problems.
He's just bad with money.
The Stuccis are still after us.
It's a sad story. I'm sorry.
But I'm not giving you the money.
I might, however,
be willing to discuss other arrangements.
Hey, there's Cadee.
That ain't Cadee.
Oh, that's Eddie.
All right, listen up.
We have a solution.
Tell them to move.
They're black women. You think I'm crazy?
Here's the scenario.
Rhonda's going to give me some of the money back.
We figured out a way to get the rest.
You guys need to kiss, make up,
and play in that tournament.
Hell, no.
I ain't playing with that son of a bitch.
I don't hustle with people who are dishonest.
That's something I cannot do.
That's not fair.
Farrakhan disciple son of a bitch.
No, I ain't doing it.

Welcome to the first annual
Two-On-Two For Brotherhood Basketball Tournament,
also known as the TTBBT,
sponsored by a coalition of American corporations
in the spirit of promoting brotherhood among us all.
That's bullshit.
And now,
let the games begin!
Hey, wait!
Oh, look at that.
Why can't you check somebody, mushroom head?
You fat mustard and butter sandwich.
What you talking about?
We ain't got to worry about them.
They spend too much time arguing with each other about their mothers,
and both their mothers are ugly.
All right, all right.
Yeah, sack it.
Yeah, that's two...
One for you. One for you.
Work-release program or something.
Motherfucker was just on parole, man.
These two we definitely have to worry about.
This is Flight. That's Willie. They can play.
They'll be in the finals against us.
Oh!
Shit, that's just too easy!
No, that shit is too easy!
It's too easy!
No, that shit is... too easy!
Fuck it.
I don't want to play no more.
We won't play no more.
Hey, chump.
Yeah, you, tater head.
You know who I'm talking about.
If that's your best game,
grab that free T-shirt and head home.
What the hell are you doing?
Did you bring Mighty Mouse?
You're too pretty to play basketball.
You got that big "Z" in your fro, man.
Are you the black Zorro?
That's enough.
You get your haircut at the braille institute?
What's Opie Taylor talking about?
Opie Taylor?
I got your Opie,
you big, bad, Gomer Pyle, droopy-eyed son of a bitch.
Take your ass back to Mayberry.
Tell Aunt Bee to have my bean pies,
or I'll kick her ass.
Hey, Lurch and Morticia.
What the fuck are you doing?
I'm doing two things.
I'm making them mad. They won't play good.
You're embarrassing me.
That's the other thing I'm doing.
You're not embarrassing me.
You're pissing me off.
Good. I assume you play better when you're mad.
Am I right?
I'm not listening.
But you are hearing me.
You're hearing me.
You still throwing up bricks?
What did I say?
You still throwing up bricks?
What is this, a mason's convention?
I need a welding torch to play in this league.
Let's stop and gather all these bricks.
Let's build a homeless shelter
so maybe your mother has a place to live.
Fuck you!
Fuck that fucker!
And your sister, too.
I want your mother and your sister out of my house.
Black ball.
What the fuck you talking about, black ball?
What are you, racist?
I'm talking about your jersey.
Here you go, sir.
How you feeling today?
Didn't I school you once before?
You going to give us a game?
Give us something, man.
Don't let him pull that move on you, Rastafari.
Don't let him pull that move.
That's the move!
Oh! That's the move!
I tried to warn you.
You call that defense?
You gonna give us a game?
Will we get a little competition?
I got better things to do with my Saturday.
There's this chicky babe from the fabulous four
watching his big old ugly ass.
Bring it on, bad boy!
Oh!
But he ain't got shit!
He ain't got shit! He ain't got shit!
Ah! You suckers!
Bunch of suckers.
What a great no-look pass.
The mustard is off the hot dog.
My man ain't getting nothing tonight.
Lurch, I looked up basketball player
in the dictionary, and it said "not you. "
Be quiet!
Bring it on, bad boy!
Excuse me. I'm talking here.
Shut up.
Pretty boy, I'll be D-ing up on you
if you make it to the finals.
Hey, I got some bean pie for you.
You ain't gonna see $5,000. You may see 5,000 beans.
Do you ever shut up?
What the fuck are you worried about?
I'm in the fucking zone.
It's one thing to embarrass me.
It's another motherfucking thing
to piss these guys off that we have to play.
That's plain fucking stupid.
Listen to your teammate, bucket head.
You've gone past stupid into a new category.
It's called suicide, chump.
Call me chump. OK, bad boy.
What the fuck is up with you?
What are you worried about?
I'm in the zone.
They're pissed off. I'm in the zone.
This isn't about black and white.
This is about money, you got that?
Look, man, I need this 5 grand.
I won't let you blow this for me.
You pissed off?
No, I ain't pissed off.
You pissed off at me?
You want to get me in this fucking zone.
You ain't good enough.
Is that another brother thing,
you fucking racist?
There's certain things you can't do.
I can hear Jimi!
You can't hear Jimi.
Fuck you!
Good, fuck me.
Say it with feeling.
Fuck you!
Fuck me! Fuck me!
Check, asshole.
Go, Lurch.
Check it, Casper.
You got shit for brains, dickhead.
Fuck you, faggot.
Let's go!
# I got it #
#Watch magic #
# I got it, hey #
# I got something that makes me OK#
Stop them before we lose our sponsors.
You start fighting, neither of us will make money.
That bullshit passing you doing.
Come on, man.
I hope this doesn't get worse.
# Now I got a move that tells me what to do #
# Some kind of deal #
# Now I got a move that tells me what to do #
# Sometimes I feel so nice #
Why didn't you dunk it?
Give me the fucking ball, man.
Take the goddamn ball out.
# I'm in love #
# I love to do my thing #
#And I don't need no one else #
Brick!
You got the lane. Take a shot.
Give me a better pass. I have a better break.
It was a fucking great pass.
Tired of piggybacking you.
You piggybacking me?
Yeah.
#Wham! Come on! Stuff it down #
You ever been to flight school?
I'm going to the seventh floor
and dropping you off at the fifth.
Stay on him!
Go flight! Go flight!
Thank you, thank you.
Big fucking deal.
Can you do it? Huh?
Yeah! Yeah!
#What it's all about #
He's setting illegal picks!
Check them up.
# Hey! #
Cut, man.
In his ass. I got him.
# I got the something #
Damn! Come on, man.
# I got that thing #
We need this. Check him up.
# I got soul #
Goddamn, man. $5,000 on the line.
You let this motherfucker take the ball.
Opie pissing on you!
Oh, he's pissing on me now?
Why don't you guard somebody?
Game point, $5,000. Stop showing off.
I've been saving your ass the whole game.
Shut the fuck up, man.
Point game.
Mr. Deane and Mr. Hoyle.
#And all around #
# Right on, people #
# Let it all hang out #
Cut! Cut!
Will you cut?
Call the cops. I got him!
# Don't you boys know what it's all about? #
Oh, shit!
# Gimme, gimme #
# Gimme #
Let's pay them and get out.
Oh, yes!
Whoo!
Yes, baby!
Damn!
You're supposed to help out!
Why you dish that shit off?
I thought you were going to dunk.
You're lucky we didn't cough up $5,000
on your hot dog shit.
Why didn't you dunk it?
Right in his face!
Shut the fuck up.
Yes, yes,
it's wonderful when the spirit of competition
brings out the best in all of us.
And now I'd like to award the checks
to the second-place prize winners,
the fine team of Dwight "The Flight" McGee
and Willie Lewis,
receiving checks for $1,000.
Yo, man, you said 1,500!
That's $2,000.
Oh, brotherhood, my ass!
You said 1,500!
Thank you, gentlemen.
I'll find you, motherfucker!
Buy yourself a dress!
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
the grand prize for the first-place winners,
the wonderful team of Sidney Deane
and Billy Hoyle.
Hey, put it there.
I've never been able to get that exactly right.
You ain't, either, motherfucker.
And here is your check,
and here is your check.
"Sidney Deane"... that look like me?
Now give them their trophies.
You're welcome.
What about the big trophy?
We keep the big trophy.
We won!
Give us the real trophy.
We keep that trophy, and we put your name on it.
Thank you,
from the Coalition of American Corporations
and the TTBBT.
Whoo!
She's going to love my ass.
Damn!
You know something?
I can jam, man.
OK.
You keep telling everybody I can't stuff it.
I say that to get underneath your skin.
Just 'cause I don't do it in a game
don't mean I can't.
OK, fine.
But you don't think I can stuff it.
Billy, I don't care
if you can or if you can't.
Stop the fucking car.
What?
Stop the car. Pull it over.
Turn that shit down.
What is that shit?
It's good music. Don't call it shit.
I'll bet my half of the 5 grand against your half
that I can stuff it.
Let me give you some advice.
Buy your girl a pretty dress
in case she gets on that damn game show.
You're either stupid or dangerous.
You can't be stupid
because stupid people know they can't piss me off.
So you must be dangerous.
To who?
To yourself. I'm taking you home.
I don't jam in a game
because it's showboating for the sake of showboating,
which you know about...
I look good playing.
Like a behind-the-back pass that's unnecessary.
Passing? You have a hard-enough time passing gas.
It goes back to what I said.
A white man wants to win first, look good second.
A black man wants to look good first, win second.
That's the most ridiculous
philosophical bullshit I've ever heard.
Look, right over here.
There's a goal.
Get your money, let's go.
That's absolute garbage.
I'm tired of your shit.
Just put your money where your mouth is.
I just need three tries.
That's all you need? All right.
One of us is definitely not going home tonight.
Aah!
Man, you were almost there.
I was with you.
Damn. Come on, baby.
You can do this.
Youse a sucker, man.
Is this shit regulation?
This shit ain't regulation.
Get the fuck out of here. Regulation?
Move out the way.
I'll check it for you.
Move.
Yeah, yeah.
Just about right.
Let's go, baby.
I believe in you.
I know what the problem is. Come on.
Get out of the fucking way.
Yo, I'm trying to help.
It's a bet.
All right. It's your money.
Go.
Ah! Fuck me!
Mmm mmm mmm.
When I was looking at it before,
I thought it was a little high myself,
but after re-evaluating,
I think it was an optical illusion, right?
I know the problem.
I can't let you go out like that.
Get the fuck off me, man.
I'll pump you up.
It's a bet, man. Stop fucking around.
Billy.
Shut up, man.
Billy.
Shut up.
Billy, listen.
What?
White men can't jump.
Shit!
Good luck with Gloria.
# If I lose, if I win #
That sucker is stupid.
I walk away with both of the checks.
White boys can be stupid sometimes.
#This game is getting very, very, very long #
Way to go, Billy.
# Some you miss, and some you make #
# Some you give, and some you take #
# I guess I get it wrong #
# If I lose, if I tie #
# I am the truth, and I'm a lie #
#And I can't hear all the lyrics #
#To my song #
# Some you fix, and some you break #
# Some you stand, some you shake #
# I guess I'll get it wrong #
# In a world of loving #
# Love exists #
# Please tell me how or where #
# I would gladly pay the price #
# If I knew which way to go #
# Or if I ever despair #
# If I do leave, I'll drown #
#And I'm crying, and I'm alone #
#And my heart is waiting #
#Waiting for another goal #
# Some you beg, and some you steal #
# Some you fake, some you feel #
# Oh, yes, I'm getting it wrong ##
You called hours ago.
Sidney's already home.
Fucking pizza's all cold,
and the wine is warm.
Present for you.
Oh, honey.
Oh, God.
What a shrew I am.
I'm sorry, honey.
Tell me about the tournament.
There was some decent players there.
Me and Sidney played OK.
OK? You guys must have been great.
Oh...
oh, my, this is beautiful.
Gloria?
Gloria.
Yes?
Um... this is beautiful.
Thank you.
Honey...
I... lost the money.
What?
I... lost the money.
You want to run that by me one more time?
It, uh...
it...
it happened again.
It?
No! No, Billy!
What the fuck is it it it?
There is no it!
It is you!
You happened again!
Damn it, Billy!
The money was mine
to keep us going till Jeopardy! calls.
Honey, Jeopardy! Ain't going to call.
When are you going to fucking wake up?
Jeopardy! is gonna call, Billy.
It's my destiny to triumph magnificently on that show.
I'll never do that
wearing this stupid, hootchy-mama-looking dress,
which was a poor excuse
to cover up the fact that you fucked up again!
I'm gonna win, all right.
I'm gonna get on that motherfucking show,
and I'm gonna win
because I'm overwhelmed with more useless goddamn information
than any human being on this fucking planet!
Who's James K. Polk?
How many moons are on Pluto?
What's a quince?
It's a food, Billy,
that starts with the letter "Q."
And I got seven more!
I can't believe you lost the goddamn money!
Honey, where you going?
Honey?
Honey. Honey.
Honey, where you going?
You can't leave me.
What is a solar eclipse?
Who's Marcel Cerdan?
Where was the hamburger invented?
What are you doing?
Honey, you can't hitchhike.
This is L.A.
Go ahead!
Billy!
Go ahead. She's just crazy.
Go ahead!
Billy.
Ow! These people are perverts.
Billy!
What?
The carpet's on fire.
Oh, shit.
Don't move, honey.
Put your arm down.
Come on in here, honey.
Oh, shit!
Shit!
Don't you get in that truck!
Billy, you can run, but you can't hide.
The great Joe Louis said that.
You believe that?
Time to take a little ride.
I'm telling you, I lost the money.
I swear to God, there's no money.
Goddamn it, Billy.
The shave was working. It was beautiful.
Nobody would have known.
Why didn't you go through with the fix?
Guy said I couldn't score.
He called me a honky motherfucker.
You are a honky motherfucker.
But I can score.
We were the team, and you betrayed us.
Life is a bunch of bad trades.
One week.
Where's your hot-tamale girlfriend?
Where is she? I liked her.
She left me.
Oh, Billy!
Show him the fucking pictures!
Get up. I'm going to show you something.
This is what happens to people who don't come through.
See these?
Look at the Polaroids! Look at this guy.
I swear to God, one week.
One week. That's all you get.
Maravich, my ass.
I got your Pistol right here, Billy.
You got one week. Understand?
Oh, man.
Oh.
# You're fakin' the funk #
# Talkin' that gangster hoopla #
#And probably a punk #
#And I'm-a let you know #
# That this week your ass can't cope #
# With your offensive flow force #
#Mean kick, sidekick, pack some nasty #
# Got to get smoked like a joint #
# They need to be rocked... ##
$5.00 an hour!
Hey, hey. Got to open the door, baby.
Cinco la hora.
Hey, Sidney.
¿Que pasa, Ruben?
¿Quiere trabajo?
No.
Por cinco a la hora.
No, no, no.
Para otra semana.
All right.
Sidney! You're late!
Sorry. I'll be right there.
¿Como esta?
Sidney, I've been waiting for you.
I'm very sorry.
My wife and I want the Spanish tile
with the mansard roof.
Mmm, how unusual.
Thank you.
But I don't want to get
a city building permit.
OK. I can go through the city or around it.
I can eliminate the middleman
or be the middleman.
I'm offering the full service... roof, paint, plaster.
My wife and I have decided on number 88.
Thank you.
If you write a check to Sidney Deane...
That's D-E-A-N-E.
Sidney!
Dude.
$300 could get me started.
Sidney! Sidney.
Hey, man, how you doing?
I got to talk to you.
No. I'm doing business.
300.
It's really important, Sidney.
Thank you. My regards to your wife.
Tell her hi.
God bless you.
Goddamn it! What?
I'm desperate, man.
A man should never act desperate.
It's impractical.
And frankly,
I find it rather ugly.
I'd rather look ugly and win than...
Shut the fuck up.
Sidney...
Gloria left me.
I'm sorry, man.
I don't know how,
but I got to get her back.
Oh, brother.
You know, I got this grave human weakness...
a tiny little spot in my soul,
that actually likes you.
It's horrible to admit,
but everybody has got a cross to bear,
and you're my damn cross.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I'll help you.
Yes!
Don't kiss me, man. I got no guarantees.
What are you going to do?
I got an idea,
but you're going to owe me.
That's what I'm talking about!
You in my house. What's up with you?
Oh, what you want now?
Pete, I don't need no pick.
You ready? You ready?
You call that "D"? Where'd you go?
You call that "D"?
Where are you?
Yeah!
Whoo!
That's what I'm talking about.
This is my house!
So where you going?
Got a job, baby.
Robert, you're smooth.
Looking almost as good as me.
Ah!
Yo, Billy,
why don't you get that money you won,
buy some new clothes?
Robert, are they still making them TV game shows
at the studio you work for?
All the game shows are done on my lot.
She's been trying to get on that lot.
Robert, can you get her on?
Nobody gets on my lot without a pass.
I'm a security guard, man.
Can you do it for me, as a favor?
Ball breaker break your balls?
She broke my heart.
Heart, balls... details.
Give me one reason
why I should do anything for this guy.
I'll owe you.
He'll owe you.
OK.
Tell you what...
I'll give you one shot from there.
You make it,
I'll let your girlfriend in.
You miss, I get your car.
No problem.
Yo!
No, no, no, no.
Billy boy, this is Ghana.
You, my friend,
are shooting for the Sudan.
Huh?
Ha ha ha!
Yeah.
And a hook shot.
And a hook shot!
Don't look at me.
It's their court. It's their rules.
You want me to punt it?
Can I use my right arm?
He can't make it.
#This is the hook #
# Everybody, everybody, jump up and look #
#This is the hook #
# Everybody, everybody, jump up and look ##

Women know shit.
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.
Bitch.
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.

# 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 #

# 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!
Fuck 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! Fuck 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?
You're thinking about playing 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 fucking moron or something?
You take me for an idiot?
All right.
I have a solution, OK?
I will guarantee victory.
I've never offered that before.
I will guarantee victory.
L... 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 shit, 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!
Fuck!
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 shit.
She said sometimes when you win,
you actually lose or tie,
but when you tie, you actually win,
or some shit.
You got to extract something
from an organic globule.
Brother, I only have four words for you...
listen to the woman.
What the hell does that mean?
I tried to listen.
You talked me out of it!
I presented an option, and you took it.
You should have listened to her, not me.
I should listen to you now?
Yeah. I'm giving you advice.
Who should I listen to?
You're a grown man. Figure that out yourself.
Oh, shit.
Ah!
The game is over, William.
Still hit the old jumper, huh, Billy boy?
Where's the cash?
OK, Frankie. That's enough.
That's good for you guys?
Yeah. We're all set.
We can finally show our face again at Tipitina's.
The Stucci brothers are back.
No hard feelings, huh, Billy boy?
No.
Billy...
it's all about respect.
You understand?
Good.
I respect you guys.
See you later.
Yo, man, you all right?
Gloria is not coming back.
Yeah, I know.
You know, she's left me before,
lots of times.
She'll get to the door,
I'll talk fast, she'll come back.
Or she'll get out the door,
be gone a couple of days,
and I'll play her a song,
and, you know, she'll come back.
This is it.
She's gone.
# Hmm #
Maybe you two are better off
without each other.
Yeah.
Tell me something, Sidney.
If I listen to the woman,
do I have to agree with her, too?
You listen. That's a start.
I don't want to stress you out.
# Hmm hmm Doo doo doo doo #
# Mmm hmmm #
# Hmm doo doo doo doo #
I got to get a job.
# Mmm hmm #
Can you get me a job?
# Mmm hmm hmm #
Have you got any references?
You.
You're going to be all right.
You're starting to hear the music.
I can hear Jimi now?
I didn't say that. You can't hear Jimi.
Jimi ain't music?
It is, but you can't hear Jimi.
Don't be dissin' Jimi.
You just learned that word.
How did you know you put that pass
up high enough, I could slam it?
Even the sun shines on a dog's ass some days.
On a dog's ass? Want to play me?
Don't start.
Hitting one dunk don't mean you can play.
Putting a cat in an oven don't make it a biscuit.
Your mama is so stupid, it takes her 60...
It takes her 2 hours to watch 60 minutes.
Stop hurting yourself.
# Mm hmm hmm... ##
Hey, man.
Smooth, baby.
You dropped a 20 on them?
Yeah. If I don't take care of my brothers, who will?
I'll bet you 20 on our game.
I'm not playing you.
No, no. You misunderstand.
How could you look ugly and still lose?
You calling me ugly?
Your mother did. I got a right to.
