I thought it was

a Norwegian saying.

Okay. All right.

Do you see that box

diagonally across from us?

Okay, I want you to take a ball,

I want you to hit it underhand

into that box, like this.

Okay? That's a serve.

You do that with every ball

here, and when you're done,

go pick up all the balls and then

bring them back to this line

and do it again.

Got it? Okay. Got it.

I got one in! No talking.

I hit five good serves

in the box in a row.

I'm like kobe Bryant.

Kobe plays basketball.

Yeah, I know.

I meant that I'm like,

the kobe Bryant of tennis.

I even have Kobe's shoes.

See? Yeah, see,

that just makes me think that

you thought kobe played tennis.

My grandma bought them for me.

Sounds good.

And you live with her?

Yeah? Yeah.

So, tell me more

about your mom dying.

Barry, you cannot say

stuff like that, you know?

You... I'm sorry.

It's just that my mom died, too.

Her and my dad.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Yeah, you know, my mom,

she taught me how to play

tennis before I could walk.

I was actually pretty good.

I won a couple of

junior national tournaments

with my brother.

Why didn't you win

any pro tournaments?

I didn't go pro.

My brother did.

He won a few tournaments.

Well, If you never called it quits, you

could've been as good as Tiger Woods.

Tiger plays golf. I know.

I meant the Tiger Woods of tennis.

Hey, my ride's here.

You, want to come over

and watch Harry Potter later?

No, thank you.

See you later, Mr. price. Bye.

Hey, Barry...

I'm gonna be here Thursday, same time,

If you want to practice your serves.

Yeah, cool. I'm...

I'm like the Harry Potter

of tennis.

Yes. Yeah.

My heart is lost

these things mean

nothing to me

not to me

I'm not sorry

for being myself

addiction,

too tough to tell

Too tough to tell

Who is it?

It's Jimmy.

Hey. Hey, man.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I was just

stopping by to check on my bro.

Right.

Can I come in?

Yeah.

So, hey,

congratulations are in order.

Dad told me

you broke up with greta.

It's "grace." Grace.

That was her n...

Wait, that was her name?

Yeah, we went out

for three years, so...

That's awesome.

Yeah, I just got out of a

really bad relationship, too.

Really?

Hayes Davenport. No forehand.

Real cocksucker.

So now I don't have a bid for

the qualifying tournament.

Qualifying for what?

I'm making a run at the open.

Right.

Right.

Yeah, so now I have to

earn my way in

through this upcoming

pre-qualifying tourney.

If I win that, I'm in the

quallies at palm Springs.

If I win at palm Springs,

I'm in the open.
