No, I'm not drunk.

- Just had a beer with the fellas.

- That's nice.

- You know what I was thinking?

- What?

I was thinking that we need to get back

to the loving part of our marriage.

I know what this is about.

Trying to keep up

with Tree and Vanessa.

- No, I ain't trying to keep up...

- Yes, you are, yes, you are.

I just look at you, and I just think that

we could have some beautiful babies.

David, how many times

do we have to have this discussion?

I'm not ready for babies.

Would you move over?

It's hot in here.

I'm not ready for babies.

I have a career, I have dreams,

I have places I wanna go.

- I do too.

- A baby's just gonna get in the way.

Besides, you're building a business,

okay?

You can't come home

all hours of the night...

...after drinking with your boys,

and then expect to have sex...

...like rabbits all night long.

Oh, by the way,

I need you home by 5:00 tomorrow...

...for my awards ceremony.

Yeah.

Whatever.

Like that rag on your head.

That's why you're not getting any.

There we go, get it.

Keep your butt down.

Keep your butt down.

See the ball into the glove.

You'll get it, Marcus.

All right, here we go.

Get in there.

- There you go.

- Good play, that's what I like to see.

- That's what I like to see.

- Yeah, boy, yeah, boy.

Who's your daddy now, sucker?

Please, cracker.

You looking like your white mama

making that play.

- What?

- Hey, not today.

Hey.

Hey.

- Just let go.

- Go, fight, fight, fight.

Get... Hey, hey.

- What...?

- Come on, man.

- Get your hands...

- Break it up.

- Boy, you better get up.

- Bring it in.

- Get up.

- Bring it in.

Des, what's wrong with you, huh?

How many times do I have to tell you?

Nobody is gonna disrespect

anybody on this team.

You got that?

Now, both of you look at me.

What race am I?

Black.

Wrong.

You know what Brother King said?

He said I'm human first,

then I'm black.

There's only one race of people,

and that's the human race.

But there's two kinds of people,

the good ones and bad ones.

Now, Darius, look at Coach Brock.

What race is he?

White.

We're gonna have to work on that.

Hit the bases. Let's go.

What are you saying, man?

Martin Luther King

never said those words.

No, that was Tyrone King.

You know, he owns that barber shop

down there on Florence.

You're lying. I know Tyrone.

He stutter.

He don't even talk like that.

Look, look, we got company, dude.

Come on.

You gotta get up out of here

with that King Cobra.

I ain't got to get up

out of nowhere, man.

I can come see my boy

anywhere I want to.

Not drunk on your ass, you can't.

It's a bad influence on the boys

and against league rules.
