But we have a

game in an hour.

I know. I think I have that save energy

to sit on that bench.

My first passion was

officially begun with Sandy,

cheerleader.

I knew I was risking my life

talking with his girlfriend

Buddy Pendleton

but it was beautiful.

My knees were shaking

when I spoke to her.

I saw you in the play.

Will actress?

Oh, sure. Marilyn Monroe.

It will be a movie star?

She must have found me an arrogant fool

but I needed to say.

Why waste time being an actress,

if not he tried to be the best?

Come on, Buddy!

You lost your mind?

You have to help my boys too.

Get out of here. Time, time!

Go warming, Maravich.

Well, we have to do is the following

...
