Seventeen hundred dollars. Billy!
We were on our way to 8000.
Were your opponents that good?
No, I beat better guys in Brooklyn and Jersey.
-You missed your jump shots? -No, I hit mine.
What about Sidney?
He had an off day. He wasn't shooting that much.
His guy scored on him and he didn't... .
. ...D 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 was full of shit!
He's full of shit and he's a good guy.
You're full of shit, okav? Fuck that shit.
I'm going back to that house and get my fucking 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.
And maybe not Puerto Ricans. It's reverse discrimination.
Let's see.
We drove Sidney to Crenshaw and...
You don't understand how things work. Men understand how they work.
Wasn't there a big apartment house?
Let me explain. Men's rules are verv simple.
If you win, you win. You lose, you lose.
But under no circumstances do you ask for the money back.
-Whv not? -It's not part of the rules.
Oh, yeah?
I got a different set of rules of my own. Do you want to hear them?
Here they go: Sometimes when you win, you really lose.
And sometimes when you lose, you really win.
Sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie.
And sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose.
I hate when you talk like that. It makes me crazy.
Winning and losing is just a big organic globule. ...
. ...from which one takes what one needs.
I'm fucked.
Forget it. I'm not getting off this bus, honey.
I'm not getting off the bus. No. Stop!
Can we discuss it? Can we have a discussion?
Does Sidney Deane live here?
He does.
He's my husband.
Well, your husband stole $ 1 700 from my boyfriend.
Really?
Just a minute.
Some people are here who say you stole their money. Come on in.
Oh, shit.
No, baby, I didn't steal his money. I hustled his money.
-Cindy Brady! -That girl is fine.
Cindy, what happened?
What the fuck do you want?
-Who invited you in, anyway? -I did.
-I want to talk to... ... -Gloria.
Baby, that man hustled me long before I hustled him.
That's true. I saw the whole thing.
Damn skippv. So, what goes around, comes around.
Then you won't mind if Gloria and I talk. You want a drink?
-Yeah. -Come on.
This boy's got a lot of guts.
Billy Ho! It's good to see you, Billy! You look swell.
You fucked me, man.
Get the fuck out from in front of the ty.
You fucked me! We had a partnership.
No, we were never partners. It goes like this:
You either smoke, or you get smoked.
And you got smoked.
-Clean as my gun. -Yes, it was.
-Smooth. -A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
-Did I get too deep on you? -Would you make this guy shut up?
I'm sorry. I'll go back to the way you like me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I want my money back.
You're not getting it back.
-You're giving me my money back. -I'm giving you nothing.
They were teammates. Teammates can't hustle each other.
-Really? Why not? -It's not artistic.
Let me tell you. I don't care about art.
All I care about is getting out of the vista view... .
. ...because there ain't no vista, no views and ain't no vista of no views.
You want cream or sugar or what?
Cream.
I trusted you. There are rules to hustling. There are ethics.
That you wouldn't know a thing about.
I never shook anyone's hand and stabbed him in the back!
The hdians shook hands with the Pilgrims and look who got fucked.
Who you calling a Pilgrim?
-You, Columbus. -Gobble this, turkey.
I got a gun in my hand! What's wrong with you?
Shoot this motherfucker.
Hold it. Byron for 20.
-byron for 20! -Shoot the motherfucker.
-He's a traitor. -Come on.
Pop it, James! Yeah!
Sweet!
That's a black man. That's a black man.
Throughout our glorious life together. ...
. ...I bought a car from the Stucci brothers for three grand.
Turned out to be piece of shit, and I didn't pav.
So they told Billy, unless he got them their money, they'd cut me up.
So he had to figure out a way to get the money.
The Stuccis decided to fix a basketball game.
Billy agreed. He got mad and didn't throw it... .
. ...and the Stuccis lost a bundle.
Wake up, girlfriend. It's your boyfriend.
He's got problems.
He's just bad with money.
Look, the Stuccis are still after us.
Hey, hey. It's a sad story. It really is, and I'm sorry.
But I'm not giving you the money.
I might, however, be willing to discuss other arrangements.
There 's Dyan: -There's Kadeem.
That ain't Kadeem.
There's Eddie. I know Eddie.
-You know shit. -Listen up.
We have a solution.
-Tell them to move. -You tell them. You think I'm crazy?
Here's the scenario:
Rhonda's returning some money. We know how to get the rest.
So, what you guys need to do is kiss, make up. ...
. ...or whatever it is you do and play in that tournament, together.
I ain't playing with that son of a bitch.
-No, baby... -I don't hustle with the dishonest.
I can tell you that now. He ain't that good to begin with.
That's not fair, Rhonda.
Sugar, sugar. Please don't make me do something like that.
Welcome to the first annual Two on Two for Brotherhood.:.
.:.Basketball Tournament:
Also known as the "TTBBT."

. ...brotherhood among us all. And now... .
. ...let the games begin!
Stav with him. Stay with him. Look at that.
Why can't you check somebody?
You fat mustard and butter sandwich.
I'll knock you out.
We ain't got to worry about them. They spend too much time arguing.
About their mothers, and both of them are ugly.
Remember Raymond? Must have some type of work-release program.
Motherfucker was just on parole, man.
These two we definitely have to worry about.
That's Flight and Willie.
They can play. They'll be in the finals against us.
Shit, that's just too easy!
No, that shit is too easy.
Too easy.
That shit is too easy!
-Fuck it. I don't even want to play. -I don't want to play no more.
Hey, chump!
Yeah, you, potatohead. You know who I'm talking about.
Is that your best? If it is, grab the free T-shirt and go.
What're you doing?
Who'd you bring? Mighty Mouse?
You're too pretty to play basketball.
You got that big Z in your 'fro, man.
-Stop already. -Are you the black Zorro?
Man, that's enough.
Is your hair done at the Braille hstitute?
What's Opie Tavlor talking about?
Opie Tavlor? Opie?!
I got your Opie, you big, bad, goopie-eved son of a bitch!
You and your Cream of Wheat go back to Mayberry!
Tell Aunt Bee she better have my bean pies or I'll kick her ass!
-Lurch and Morticia! -What are you doing?
-I'm doing two things. -What?
Making them mad. guys don't play good mad.
You're embarrassing me.
That's the other thing.
You're not embarrassing me, you're pissing me off.
I assume, unlike them, you play better when you're mad.
Am I right?
I'm not listening.
Yeah, but you are hearing me. You're hearing me.
What, you throwing bricks?
-What did I just say? -Throwing bricks?
What is this, a mason's convention?
Clank! I'll need a welding torch to play in this league.
I got an idea. Let's stop now and gather up all these bricks... .
. ...and build a homeless shelter so your mother has a place to live.
-Fuck you, great white! -Fuck that fucker.
And your sister. I want your mother and sister out of my house.
Black ball.
What the fuck do you mean, black ball? Are you racist?
Your jersey, not your skin.
I knew you were a racist.
Here, sir. How do you feel? You don't look well.
Didn't I school you before?
Give us something, man. Bring it.
Don't let him pull that move on you.
Don't let him pull that move.
Oh, no, that's the move!
I tried to warn you. You call that defense?
Are you gonna give us a game? Some competition?
If not, I got better things to do on a Saturdav.
This is Chickie Babe from the Forum watching this ugly honkv yo-yo... .
. ...up and down the court. Bad boy!
But he ain't got shit. He ain't got shit. He ain't got shit.
You suckers!
What a great no-look pass. Am I right?
The mustard is off the hot dog, you big mule.
My man ain't getting nothing.
I looked up "basketball player" in the dictionary. It said, "Not you."
-You won't beat us. -Be quiet.
Bring it on, bad boy! Excuse me, I'm talking.
I know you are. Shut up.
Pretty boy, I'll be D-ing up on you if you make it to the finals.
I got something for you. I got some bean pie!
You won't see $ 5000. You mav see 5000 beans!
Do you ever shut the fuck up?
Don't worry. I'm in a zone, man.
I'm in a fucking zone. Would you relax?
It's one thing to embarrass me.
It's another to piss off guys we'll be playing.
That's just plain stupid.
Listen to him, buckethead.
You gone past stupid, into a new category.
Called suicide, chump.
Call me chump all dav, bad boy. I'm in a fucking zone!
-Fuck you! -Come here! What is up with you?
Why are you worried? I'm in a zone!
They're pissed off. I'm in a zone!
This is not about black and white.
It's about money, greed. You got that?
I need this five grand, and I won't let you blow this for me. No way.
You pissed off?
No. I ain't pissed off.
-You pissed at me? -No, I'm not.
That's what you want, to get me into this fucking zone.
You ain't good enough.
Is that some brother thing? You racist.
Some things you can't do.
-I can hear Jimi! I can hear Jimi! -No, no!
-No, you can't. -Fuck you.
-Good. Fuck me. -Yeah, fuck you.
-Say it with feeling. -Fuck you!
Yes, yes! Fuck me! Fuck me!
-Check, asshole. -Check, gav boy.
-Let's go, Lurch. -Check it, captain.
Fuck you, faggot, asshole!
Stop them before we lose our sponsors!
Start a fight, neither of us will make any money.
Stop that bullshit passing. Five grand's on the line.
I hope this doesn't get worse.
Why didn't you dunk it?
-Give me the ball. -Don't you guys ever shut up?
-Brick! -Point.
Man, you've got the lane, take the shot.
Give me a better pass.
A better pass? I gave you a great pass.
-About time. -I'm tired of piggybacking you.
You piggybacking me? You piggybacking me?
Oh, yeah. You ever been to flight school?
I'm going to the seventh floor and dropping you off.
-Don't reach. -Stay on him.
Do it, Flight! Do it!
Thank you.
-Big fucking deal. -Can you do it?
Cut, man. Lav that D.
Damn, Willie! Come on, man.
$ 5000 on the line, and you let this motherfucker take the ball.
Fuck you. Opie's pissing on you.
-Pissing on me? -Yeah.
Why don't you guard somebody, sorry motherfucker?
Five thousand. Stop showing off.
I've been saying your ass the whole game.
Shut the fuck up, man. Get the ball out here.
Point game, Mr. Deane and Mr. hoyle.
Cut, cut. Will you cut?
-I got him, Flight! -That was a foul!
Let's pav them and get out.
-Damn! -Fuck you, you're supposed to help.
-Whv'd you pass? -I thought you'd dunk.
-No, just take the shot. -What?
You're luckv we didn't cough up 5000.
You were supposed to dunk. He was dunking on you. Whv didn't you dunk?
Why should...? Shut the fuck up.
Oh! She's gonna love my ass!
Damn!
You know something?
I can jam, man.
Okav.
You keep saying I can't stuff it.
I only say it to get under your skin.
Just because I don't dunk in a game, don't mean I can't.
Okav, fine.
You don't think I can stuff it.
Billy. ... .
I don't care if you can or can't.
Stop the fucking car.
Stop the car.
Pull it over.
Turn that shit down. What is it?
It's good music, that's what. Don't call it shit.
I'll bet my half of the $ 5000 against yours that I can stuff it.
Wait. Hold up. Hold up.
Billy, you just won it. Let me give you some adyice.
Take some money and buy your girl a dress. ...
. ...in case she gets on that show.
You're either stupid or dangerous.
You can't be stupid. Stupid people can't push my buttons and piss me off.
So you must be dangerous.
-To who? -To yourself. I'm taking you home.
The reason I don't jam in a game is because it's like showboating. ...
. ...which you know about.
-I look good. -Like the unnecessary behind-the-back.
Motherfucker, you wouldn't know what a behind-the-back pass was.
It goes back to what I was saying. Quoting myself:
A white man wants to win, then look good.
A black man wants to look good, then win."
That is the most ridiculous piece of philosophical bullshit I ever heard.
Look, right over here. There's a goal right there.
Get your money and the ball.
Quoting myself?
-I'm tired of your shit. -I'm tired of yours.
What crap. Put your money where your mouth is.
-I just need three tries. -You sure?
All right, let's go.
One of us is not going home tonight.
Man, you were almost there. Almost there.
I was with you on that one. Damn.
Come on, baby. You can do this.
This is a sucker.
Is this shit regulation? This shit ain't regulation.
Get the fuck out of here. Regulation?
Move out of the way. I'll check it for you.
Move out the way.
Yeah, yeah. Just about right.
Let's go. You can do it.
Come on, I believe in you.
I know what the problem is.
Get out of the fucking way. Get out.
-Just trving to help. -It's a bet.
All right, it's your money.
Go.
Fuck me!
When I looked at it before. ...
. ...I thought it was a little high, but now I think it was just... .
. ...an optical illusion and shit. Right?
I know what it is.
You can't go out like that.
-Get off me! -I'll pump you.
-Get off! -You need help.
-It's a bet. Stop fucking around. -I know it.
-Billy... ... -Shut up, man.
Billy.
Shut up!
-Billy, listen to me. -What?
White men can't jump.
Shit!
Good luck with Gloria.
Way to go, Billy.
You called hours ago.
Sidney's already home!
The fucking pizza's all cold and the wine is all warm.
A present for you.
Oh, honey.
Oh, God.
What a shrew I am.
I'm sorry, honey.
Tell me about the tournament.
There were some decent players.
Me and Sidney played okav.
Okav? You guys must have been great.
This is beautiful.
Gloria. ... .
-Gloria. -Yes?
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 happened again.
It?
It?!
No! No, Billy. What the fuck is "it, it, it"? There is no "it."
lt is you! You happened again! Damn it, Billy!
That money was mine to keep the both of us going till Jeopardy! called.
Jeopardy! ain't gonna call. When will you wake up?
Jeopardy! is gonna call.
It is my destiny that I triumph magnificently on that show!
I'll never do it wearing that stupid hoochie-mama dress you bought me. ...
. ...which was obyiously to cover up the fact that you fucked up again!
I'm gonna win. I'm gonna get on that motherfucking show. ...
. ...and win, because I am overflowing... .
. ...with more useless information than any human being on this planet!
Who's James K . Polk?
How many moons are around 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!
Where are you going?
Honey!
Honey! Honey!
Honey!
Where are you going? You can't leave.
What's a solar eclipse? Who's Marcel Cerdan?
Where was the hamburger invented at?
What are you doing? You can't hitchhike. This is L.A.
-Go ahead! -Billy!
Go ahead, she's just crazy. Go ahead.
-Go on! -Billy!
These people are perverts.
The carpet's on fire.
Oh, shit.
Don't move, honey.
Put your arm down.
Come on in here, honey.
Oh, shit! Shit!
Honey, don't get in that truck!
You can run, but you can't hide.
The great Joe Louis said that. Do you believe that?
Time to take a little ride, Billy.
I'm telling you, I lost the money. I swear to God, there's no money.
There's no money!
Goddamn it, Billy.
The shave was working. It was beautiful.
Nobody would've known.
So why didn't you go through with the fix?
The guy said I couldn't score. Called me a honky fucker.
-You are a honky fucker! -But I can score, man.
We were the team. You betrayed us.
Life is just a bunch of bad trades.
I swear to God, one week.
Where's your little girlfriend?
Where is she? I liked her.
-She left me. -Oh, Billy.
Show him the fucking pictures.
I'm gonna show you something.
This is what happens to people who don't come through. You 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.
You got one week, understand?
I just came to get an Oki dog, baby.
Five dollar an hour!
-You're late. -I'm sorry. I'll be right there.
I've been waiting for you.
I'm verv sorry.
My wife and I decided on the Spanish tile with the mansard roof.
-How unusual. -Thank you.
But I don't want to get a city building permit or anything.
No problem. I can go through the city or around it.
I can eliminate the middleman or I can be him.
I'm offering the full service: the roof, the paint, the plaster.
Well, my wife and I have decided on number 88.
Thank you verv much. Just write the check to Sidney Deane.
That's D-E-A-N-E.
Sidney!
$ 300 will get me started.
Sidney!
Sidney! hey, man. How you doing, buddy?
I've got to talk to you.
This is my office. I'm doing business.
-Three hundred. -But it's really important.
Thank you. My regards to your lovely wife. We'll start on Tuesday.
-I gotta talk to you. -God bless you!
Goddamn it! What?
I'm desperate, man.
You know, a man should never act desperate. It's impractical.
And frankly, I find it rather ugly.
-I'd rather look ugly and win... -Shut the fuck up. Shut up.
Gloria left me.
I'm sorry, man.
I don't know what to do or how, but I gotta get her back.
Oh, brother.
I got this grave human weakness.
A tinv little spot in my soul that actually likes you.
It's horrible to admit, but everybody's got a cross to bear.
You're my damn cross.
What's that mean?
-It means that I'm gonna help you. -Yes! Yes!
Don't kiss me, man. I got no guarantees.
What are you gonna do?
I got an idea.
But you're gonna owe me.
That's what I'm talking about. You're in my house, man. What's up with you?
Oh, what you want now? What you want now, Pico?
I don't need no pick for this chump. You ready?
You call that D? Where you going?
You call that D? Where you going? Who are you?
That's what I'm talking about. This is my house, my house!
-Where are you going, man? -I got a job, baby.
Robert, smooth. Looking good. Almost as good as me.
Yo, Billy.
Why don't you take that prize money and buy new clothes?
Let me ask you something.
They still film game shows at the studio you work for?
All the game shows are done on my lot.
Genius! She's been trving to get on that lot for weeks.
Robert, can you get her on?
Nobody gets on my lot without a pass. Nobody.
I take that shit seriously.
Robert, can you do it for me? As a favor?
Ballbreaker break your balls?
She broke my heart.
Hearts, balls. ...details.
Give me one reason why I should help.
I'll owe you.
He'll owe you.
Okav.
Tell you what:
I'll give you one shot from there.
You make it, I'll let your girlfriend on the lot. Miss it, I get your car.
No problem.
Billy boy.
This is Ghana. You, my friend, are shooting for the Sudan.
-And a hook shot. -And a hook shot.
Don't look at me.
Look, it's their court, their rules.
You want me to punt it?

Let's screw.
Tell me the truth.
You didn't think Jeopardy! would call, did you?
I must confess I didn't.
That's why you gotta trust me more.
You're right, as usual.
I know.
-I've been thinking about the future. -Me too.
The future is like a whole new concept.
I mean, it's like, it's like. ... .
I admit the summer pro league hasn't been knocking down my door.
There comes a time in a man's life when he must get on with his life.
I want you to take two thousand of my winnings.
Okav?
I think that's a bad idea.
No, it's a good idea.
I want you to buv some new clothes.
Not for me. I like you the way you are, but. ...

Job interviews?
Yeah.
I want you to aim high.
Well, I. ... .
I want to aim high, but I'm just neryous 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 our ty, our stereo! They took my baby's crib!
I want to know what kind of human being would steal a baby's crib?
Where have you been? They took everything.
-Who? -Burglars. Who do you think?
I feel raped. Your ty, stereo, evervthing's gone.
And they trashed the place!
Oh, look at this here!
I'll be goddamned!
Baby, we'll get our stuff back.
You promised we'd leave this hellhole. And they took our $ 5000.
Wiped us out. And I know somebody saw what happened here.
You can't take that kind of stuff and not see something.
You didn't have to trash the place.
Fuck me!
I'm sorry. Okav?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I lost it.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I want a job.
Okav.
All right, you get a job.
And I'll figure out how to get us out of this goddamn building.
All right?
If I can win $ 1 2,000 each week, right?
Times five, plus 20 for the annual title.
That'll gives us... .
. ...eighty grand.
We're rolling now.
I figure I can take some acting classes. ...
. ...get on a soap, do a little television.
-Be on the big screen in two vears. -You're made for the big screen.
-Billy! -Oh, it's Sidney.
Hey, Billy!
I've been looking for you.
I gotta talk to you. Alone.
What is this, a macho dick thing?
-Come on, now. -Can I watch?
Don't worry about me, babe!
Billy, you got some money?
-I got a little. Why? -King Farouk and Duck Johnson are back.
They're working the courts downtown, cleaning up.
The King and Duck? We can take them!
We can take them, but it costs $ 2500 to get in.
I got two grand, man! I just got two grand!
Good. All right, let's do this.
Hold on. You know what? I just got back together with Gloria.
She mav not like this.
This money could save my marriage.
I mean, with this score, I could move in a week.
I don't think she's gonna go for it.
Just make her! Man, fuck that, you owe me.
Listen, I know I owe you, man, but l...
All right, enough man-talk here. What's up?
-Honey, you are so beautiful. -Thank you.
Sometimes I don't realize how lucky I am.
You know something, honey? There's a big game downtown.
-For money? -No, no, no! Well. ... .
Yeah, I mean, you know, a little bit.
Are you serious?
You're thinking of playing with my money?
Your money? Honey, you gave it to me.
To get a job!
-I promised Sidney, honey. -You promised me!
I promised you and I promised him! I owe you and I owe him!
I'll give you the winnings. I don't care about the money.
-I don't need money! I don't want it! -What do you want?
I want you, you son of a bitch!
We can take these guys. They're over-the-hill.
Look, Billy, you gamble my money and we're through.
Honey, I promise you, this is the last time.
The last time? What, do you two think I'm a fucking moron?
What are you doing? You take me for an idiot?
All right. All right. I have a solution, okav?
I will guarantee victory. I've never offered that before.
I will guarantee victory.
l... 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. ...
. ...then we'll just meet up at the hotel later. We'll party!
We'll celebrate.
We're on a roll, honey!
We're on a roll!
Show them that fly shooting, Sidney!
Come on, Billy baby. You got it.
You can dunk, baby!
Come on, Duck!
Watch, watch! Back door, back door!
play some defense, Billy!
Damn!
Fuck!
Get your hands up, okay?
Come on, man!
1 4-1 3. Point game. Point game!
Time to put the ball up. Let's go!
Come on with it, man!
Hit him hard, man.
Let him know what's happening.
Hey, you want to dance or play ball? Watch it down low.
I got him. Watch out!
Gloria! Gloria?
Honey!
She's gone.
Oh, man!
Oh, man! Now that's not right.
That's not right.
Finally, I didn't lose the money. I doubled the money.
But I still got it wrong. How can that be?
She said some crazy shit once.
She said, "Sometimes when you win, you actually lose or tie."
But when you tie, you actually win. Or some shit, you know.
You gotta 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 to the woman! You talked me out of it!
I didn't have to talk for long. I just gave you an option.
-You shouldn't have listened to me. -Then why should I listen to you now?
-I'm giving you adyice. -So who do I listen to?
You're a grown man. Figure it out yourself.
Oh, shit.
The game is over, William.
Still hit the old jumper, huh?
Where's the cash?
Okav, Frankie. That's enough.
-That's good for you guys? -We're set.
We can finally show our face again at Tipitina's.
The Stucci brothers are back!
No hard feelings, Billy?
It's all about respect. You understand? Good.
I respect you guys.
See you later.
Hey, man, you all right?
Gloria's not coming back.
Yeah, I know.
She's left me before, lots of times.
She'll get to the door, I'll talk fast and she'll come back.
Or she'll get out the door, be gone a couple of davs... .
. ...l'll play her a song or something and, you know, she'll come back.
But this is it.
She's gone.
Mavbe you two are better off without each other.
Sidney, if I listen to the woman, do I have to agree with her too?
No, you listen. That's a good enough start.
I don't want to stress you out.
I gotta get a job.
Can you get me a job?
You got any references?
You.
You're gonna be all right, Billy Ho. You're starting to hear the music.
-I can hear Jimi now? -I didn't say that.
You're hearing the music. You can't hear Jimi.
-Jimi ain't music? -But you can't hear him.
See, you can hear... Forget it.
-Don't diss Jimi. -You just learned that word.
How did you know you put that pass up high enough, I could slam it?
Because even the sun shines on a dog's ass some davs.
On a dog's ass?
-Want to play some one-on-one? -Now don't start with no shit.
Hitting one dunk don't mean you can play.
Putting a cat in the oven don't make it a biscuit!
Your mama is so stupid, it takes her 60...
-No, it takes her two hours... -Stop.
Hold on, I got some funny stuff here.
-Yo, brothers! -How you doing, guy?
You dropped a 20 on them?
Of course I dropped a 20. If I don't take care of my brothers, who will?
I'll bet you 20 on this game between us.
-No, I'm not playing you. -You're not?
No, you misunderstand. You play ugly and still lose.
-You calling me ugly? -Your mama did! I got a right to!
