Sometimes the justice is dead on arrival.

I truly lost my soul

when they took you away.

Listen, you did the best you could do.

So, that's all that matters.

I gotta get back to work, so...

It's good seeing you.

See you.

- Hey, man!

- What?

You throwin' that out?

Yeah. It's 30 days old, man.

- Can I take it?

- Sure. Here.

TV ANNOUNCER:
Next up is

Michael Diggs from USC.

He just needs one complete dunk

and he wins the competition!

But he missed it!

And the winner goes

to Craig Jackson.

Michael Diggs is runner up!

Bro, what is you trippin' about?

So what was you tryin' to do?

Like I said, I about to do this

dunk you ain't never seen before.

That's your problem.

You always tryin' to do

stuff you know you can't do.

Yeah, no use of playing that over

Mama needs the money, fool!

Don't that mean anything to you?
