like you got some sense

'cause, I mean, theoretically,

ain't none of y'all supposed to be in here.

Yeah, neither is Puddin Head,

but his pop's condom broke.

Hey, man, watch the 'fro now, brother.

Watch the 'fro.

-What's your name?

-Hakim.

My name's Jim Ellis.

What does that sign say up on the wall?

"No

-"Clowns."

-Clowning.

-l-N-G.

-Shut up, Walt. Did he ask you?

-l-N-G is clowning.

-Look, this isn't a joke right now.

It says, "No clowning in or out of the pool."

Stay away from the deep end

if you can't swim.

What you say you do up here?

Who are you, the janitor?

What, you clean toilets?

Is that it, man? Can we go swimming now?

Yeah, we're straight.

Y'all understand, right?

Yes, we understand.

-Can we swim now?

-Okay.

And you, Mr. Smartass, over there.

-Name's Andre.

-Okay, Andre.

If you cup your hands

while you're swimming,

you swim a whole lot faster, son.

Just think about it.

I think I swim fast enough, janitor.

What was that?

You heard me.

You need to stick to

stacking boxes over there

and leave the swimming to the experts.

-Tell him, Dre.

-Yeah, yeah.

Expert? So you the expert now?

Expert at what, like running your mouth?

Say, man, I back up what I say.

I dust your old ass off in a race.

My 50 to your 20 says, "Negro, please."

Hey, man, you about to get smoked, man.

We talking three months

of swimming rehab.

Janitor don't stand a chance, man.

You ready, old man?

-He got blue panties on.

-I told you he was a fruitcake, man.

-Fruitcake! Fruitcake!

-Look at this! Look at this!

Superhero.

-Captain Panties.

-Save me! Save me!

To the end and back.

Lead the way.

All right. On your mark.

Get set.

Go!

Yo, man, what you doing, man? It's a race.

-Not really.

-Go, man.

Go, go.

All right, come on, Dre. Come on, man.

All right, here we go.

You got him. You got him.

Look, y'all.

You got it! You got it!

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, man,

he got beat by Captain Panties.

You lost! You lost!

-Hey, all I know...

-Get out the pool.

-...is you got burnt.

-For real.

-Burnt! Burnt! Burnt!

-Just shut up.

I'll kick both your ugly asses.

-At what? At swimming?

-I can see you drowning, you going down.

Man, you... You were fierce in that water.

Could you hook me up

with some of those moves sometime?

-First learn how to swim.

-Hey, hey.

What the heck is going on here?

Jim, what you call yourself doing, man?

I'm just surviving, baby.

I guess we just in the place

we supposed to be right now.

-ls that right?

-Yeah.

Y'all be careful.

No clowning in and out the pool.

I'm watching.

Hey, Elston,

why don't you come and swim with us?

Jim, where I come from, we swim naked.

And I don't want to embarrass nobody.
