stop screwing around.

Bring home that paycheck.

Be happy makin' 20.000 a year.

I can do better than that.

Better for me, better for her.

You know, I used to be able to divide

up to four decimal points in my head.

Top two players

come out Arkansas?

Sydney Moncrief

and Corliss Williamson.

What about Joe Johnson?

Nah, he don't play a year and a half.

I can fix that.

I can take that out for you.

What'll I listen to?

Hey.

Yeah, it's me.

So, I figure I drop them off to you,

about an hour.

You should put some rams on this thing.

I would if I had the money.

Thinkin' about puttin'

some lights up underneath.

That'd be tough, too.

Yeah, all right.

I gotta get some more quarters.

Watch Carter...

That your boy?

Stay here.

Yeah.

Wonder how he's gonna take it

when I give a speech at your funeral?

We didn't get a chance to talk

the other day.

We tried to catch up with you,

but you all ran out of there too fast...

like you might have been scared

or something.

I said what I needed to say.

You gonna have a problem with that?

Yeah, we're gonna have

a problem with it.

Let's not do this.

What'd you say?

Boy!

We'll see you.

Come on, boy.

- What's your deal?

- What?

Where the hell were you back?!

- C'mon, bud. -See you.

- See you, buddy.

So what's your f***in' problem?

- So, I'll see you soon.

- OK.

Is Annie here?

No, she's out.

- Bye, Son.

- Bye.

So what are we gonna do?

Nothin'.

That ain't gonna be

the end of it. -I know.

So just say it. I'll go

over his house and beat him.

- Calm down.

- What?

I said, calm down.

Calm down? Is that what you

were doing back there, being calm?

'Cause it sure as hell wasn't

you being scared, was it?

- F*** you.

- P*ssy!

Stop it!

I don't want you messin'

with Mark Hayes.

That's just what he's lookin' for.

You see him, you stay away from him.

You hear me?

But that's the last time

you ever stay out of the fight.

Let's go.

We need to talk.

You'd do well to get out

of my property.

This fight I heard about -

I don't wanna see any more of that.

You should talk to

your brothers about that.

I have.

Now I'm tellin' you.

Before too long, somebody's life will

get hurt and it might be one of yours.

Listen here.

I don't like you.

I don't like your family.

And if anything happens to one of

my brothers, I'll come after all of ya.

So, that's it?

That's it.

Hey.

Hey.

That your kids?

Two of them. Er, one of 'em

just moved here.

Are we all right?

Yeah.

Can you help me with something?

What?

Hold on, guys!

Hold on.

What's goin' on?

It's not that hard!

I'm sorry.

It's my boots.

Ah, forget it.

What about this one:

Best ballplayer
