Bernard King in.

We hittin' two,

and we out.

Swish! Swish!

Let's go, Billy Ho!

Ha ha ha!

Let's go!

Ain't no need

for none of that

Jane Fonda

geriatric bullshit.

Just act like you

can play.

Two quick ones,

bam, bam...

it's over.

See ya!

Wouldn't want to be ya!

You got

a new teammate.

Kiss your game

goodbye!

Maybe I should do

that sh*t, too.

You loose?

Come on

out here, baby.

I got it!

Get out of here!

Billy, I'm gonna

tell you what...

Where you at, Billy?

I'm gonna tell you

which way I'm going.

Aahh!

Where are you

going with that?

I got you.

I'm right here.

This is my court!

Oh!

Yo! Look out!

Look out!

- Whoo!

- Yay, Billy!

Yes, baby!

Luck.

Pure luck.

I believe the score

is 9-8, ours.

Take it out.

Ball in.

OK, chump.

The sun even shines

on a dog's ass some days.

Anybody can win the lottery.

Know what I'm saying?

Give it up.

Give it up.

You want it back now?

Whoa!

Yeah, get out

of the way, sucker!

Right on, man!

It's over now, baby.

F*** you.

Your mother's an astronaut.

My mother's too drunk

to be an astronaut.

You remind me of one of them dudes

from The Brady Bunch.

He looks like

the girl... Cindy.

Yeah!

That's the one!

The youngest one

in curls.

Why you

laughing, man?

Callin' me Brady Bunch

and sh*t!

This motherf***er's

too stupid

to even realize

he's being insulted.

Sidney, get off the court.

You lost, brother.

You might pull a couple of

passes out your ass,

but that don't mean

you know how to play this game.

Oh, hey,

you're right, Sidney.

I mean, you ain't

seen me shoot.

What's it worth

to you to find out?

What do we got?

50, 55,

$62.

I do detect

the smell of cash.

I'm gonna find out

how good you are, chump.

Chump?

I just have to

figure out how

I'm going to pull the ball

out your ass

when I take

your money.

That is his money.

That's his money.

20, 40, 41...

You're short.

Big Junior.

Come here, man.

Loan me a 20.

Do I look like

Bank of America?

You think I'm

gonna lose this money

to this white boy here?

You better not

lose my money.

Give me my

motherfucking $20.

We're gonna

eat at Sizzler?

Damn right!

Surf and turf.

And that is his money.

Let's go, baby. Best out of five...

top of the key.

Since you're the foreigner,

you can go first.

Oh, no, thank you.

You go ahead, man.

No, no.

See, this is my house.

This is

Sidney Deane's house.

I extend

my hospitality to you.

That is very gracious,

Sidney Deane,

but I won't take advantage of you

in your house.

OK, but you might not

get another shot.

All right,

if you insist.

That's

what I thought.

This is outdoor ball.

It's different than

your country club sh*t.
