If your number is called,

come on down!

And bring your "A" game!

Drumroll, please.

Come on.

Whoa. Oh, jeez.

I have the winning ticket.

Getting excited, Tracy?

Yeah. Yeah, very excited.

Well, so am I.

And here we go.

Section 4...

row 14...

That's our row, that's our row.

Seat 2.

I got the ticket!

Come on down!

Show us what you got!

Naw, I got the ticket.

Listen, you little runt,

if you can't score on me,

how you gonna get by a Knight?

Oh, shoot, here come a redcoat.

Security.

Psych!

Stop.

And here comes our winner now.

All right. Heh heh.

Well... boy,

this is gonna be some contest.

Well, son,

what's your name?

Ahem.

Ca... Calvin Cambridge.

Well, Calvin,

I'd like you to meet Tracy Reynolds.

Man, this is... this is crazy.

This is so cool.

How you doin', little man?

Tracy.

All right.

I'm playing Tracy.

I'm playing...

I can't even say it.

I'm so happy.

I'm playing T-time.

Wait a minute.

Was this supposed to do that?

Man, this is kind of loud.

Hey, stand up.

Can you hear me?

- Murph, stand up.

- Calvin!

I can't hear you.

Calvin, up here!

I still can't hear you.

Jump up and down

like a rabbit or something.

The crowd is eating this up.

Don't embarrass the kid.

Let him score twice.

Once.

Twice!

Once.

Hey, Murph,

we gotta get one of these.

OK, OK, Calvin.

Very good.

Now, you're gonna

have 60 seconds, OK?

Let's get the show

on the road!

All right, all right.

You ready, little man?

Man:
Hey, kid, tie your shoe.

Thank you, sir.

We like our players to be loose,

not their laces.

Make me like Mike.

OK... go!

Good luck to you, all right?

Here we go.

Whoo-hoo. Hoo-hoo.

Aw.

- You like that?

- I'm jealous.

- Whoo-hoo.

- Aw, OK.

Got that?

Very nice.

Calvin has just won himself

an L.A. Knights sweatshirt.

Computer:
Chessmaster 2000.

Would you like to play a game?

And we begin.

Pawn to queen 4.

That was really nice.

That was really nice.

Really? Thanks.

Can't go that way.

Can't go that way.

I didn't know it was like that.

Yeah, you didn't know

it was like that?

Uh-huh, can't go that way, either.

Come on, now.

Tracy Reynolds.

Man, I play "D."

That's what I'm playing.

Oh.

Whoa.

Oh.

Whoo!

How did I do that?

Now, how did he do that?

He just won a signed basketball

with an impressive 30-footer.

That one was sweet, wasn't it?

Nobody said nothing about this kid

embarrassing me out here.

That's your last shot, little man.

Recess is over.

Bernard:
One more shot,

and he wins $1,000.

Tracy Reynolds, baby.

You got what, 9 seconds?

Let's do it.

I'm really sorry...

It's all right, little man.

Come on, little man.

Come on.

Come on, what you got?

It's my gym, baby.
