You know, Mom said that

some boys just plain big-boned.

And some boys

just plain fat-assed.

Hi. Matt Hyland,

head of the coaches' committee.

- You the Kekambas?

- What?

- Are you the Kekambas?

- Yeah, b*tch, we the Kekambas.

So, what's up?

Where's James Fleming from

Smyth and Stevens Securities?

He's out of town on business.

I'm assisting him.

What do you got--

six or seven kids?

If you can't field a team,

the league'll drop ya.

I'll tell Coach Fleming--

This is Darryl Mackey.

He's the president of the league.

Last year was a mess.

We had to cancel games

because we'd show up...

and the other team

would have five kids.

Waste of everybody's time.

We're just trying to save everyone

a whole lot of trouble, okay?

If you can't field a nine-man team,

you and the Kekambas should go home.

Talk to Jimmy Fleming at

Smyth and Stevens Securities...

and submit a roster by Friday.

- Friday.

- All right?

Yo, Coach.

Kofi and Ray. Ray want to play.

Is that Kofi Evans and...

- Raymont Bennet?

- Yeah, Coach.

But Miss Wilkes

ain't gonna let them play.

Wait, hey, hey!

Who's Miss Wilkes?

She teaches Saint Malachy. She gets

on my damn nerves, I swear to God!

She is real mean, Coach.

She's an old nasty lady. She tell

your moms every little thing.

Do you know she called my house

every night last year? Every night.

- She won't let these guys play?

- Hell, no!

She said they couldn't play ball

until they do these book reports.

- Kofi ain't doin' sh*t.

- Ray Ray neither. They're like...

"B*tch, quit that noise."

Hey, can we cool it

with the "b*tches"?

Sh*t, man.

Coach, it's gettin' kind a late.

We gotta go soon. We practicin'?

Not today.

Thursday, 4:
00 here.

Cool.

Miles, wait up!

My mom's meetin' me at Southside

Pizza. I ain't walkin' by myself.

I wanna go to Southside

with you.

- You wanna just cut up Ashland?

- Whatever, man.

- You wanna just cut up Ashland?

- Whatever, man.

I don't wanna walk through

folks' loop. Damn Disciples.

Glock, nine millimeter.

Hey, you know about

my karate right?

- Man, do you mean karate?

- Nah, it's karate.

Learned it from my cousin

who was in Japan in the army.

Lightning quick!

This is the tiger.

No man can defend himself from

the fury of a karate tiger man.

Yeah, Dre-- a tiger.

Okay.

I only use the tiger when I'm

fiightin', like, a dozen guys.

More than that,

I use the bear.

- What's the bear again?

- I can't show you!

Man, that's the secret code

of the karate honor.

Hey, wait up!

- Yes?

- Sister Wilkes?

I'm Conor O'Neill.

I wanted to talk to you about--

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's just my head.

Who are you here to see?
