The Longshots Page #4

You gotta put a little pep in that.

Right here you go, hit me with your

best shot. Come on, girl. Right here!

Right here.

No!

Throw it like you did at the park.

With a little more oomph on it.

Right here.

Ha!

That was better.

But look, when you throw the ball,

first of all,

you got to have your feet apart.

What are you doing?

Look, you cannot stand like this

and throw the ball.

You have to be sideways,

point it, deliver.

You really stink.

- Do you know what a down and out is?

- You.

Funny.

Go ten spaces... bam.

Go out, hit me with the ball before I

turn out. Right in the hands. All right?

Come on, call it out.

- What?

- Let's go!

Gotta call it out.

"Hut, hut, hike." You know, like

quarterbacks do. Come on, hit me.

- Hut, hut, hike.

- Better than that.

- Hut, hut, hike!

- There we go. Come on!

Hit me! Hit me!

Ooh!

- Yeah!

- [door creaks]

Hey, Jasmine!

"The family was important

in New England.

Puritan children, like their parents,

had to work hard

and follow strict ideas of discipline.

Still, many families were close

and devoted to each other.

Even the chores and religious duties..."

You like throwing the football?

Yeah, it's cool.

Want to learn how to throw

like a real quarterback?

- [whistle blows]

- Sure.

First thing I'm gonna do

is show you how to grip this football.

See these laces here?

You gotta get your fingers on them.

That gives the ball the spiral.

That makes it spin.

All right, you grab it. Find your grip.

Give it to me.

- That's how fast you gotta get.

- OK, throw it to me.

Now, you grab it.

- Got it?

- Got it.

- Like it?

- Like it.

That's how you hold the ball.

That's your grip.

Mr. Peppers, you got any

of that field paint around here?

Yeah, I think there's some

in that back room there.

- Look under the dresser.

- Oh. Ah.

Got it. Thanks,

I'll bring it right back.

OK. Those your lines right here. I want

you to keep your foot in here, right?

See where my foot is starting?

Step out, bam, put it back.

Step out, bam, put it back.

Step out, bam, put it back.

Bam, put it back.

Good. Pretty good, you'll get better,

you'll get better.

Let's go throw some passes.

Step into it.

Give it to me. Deliver the ball.

Come on, deliver right here, to my

hands. Not here, not there, right here.

Step into it, remember

everything I told you, deliver.

Damn, girl!

Girl, you got a arm on you.

Can't we just toss it around

like we did yesterday?

No! That's boring.

- [sighs]

- Look, you wanna be a quarterback,

you gotta learn how

to hit multiple receivers.

Right here,

receiver number one: Beyonc.

Over here, receiver number two:

Foxy Brown.

And my personal favorite,
