45. - it's not a problem.
- Can we just get throughCopy !req

47. You said owning a team

49. Would you stop?
We need this.Copy !req
50. - I appreciate you coming.
- Oh, you kidding?
I wouldn't miss it.Copy !req
51. Tell Bill I owe him
a call about the roster.Copy !req
52. I'm just, uh...Copy !req
53. having a real hard time
focusing on basketball.Copy !req
54. No rush, okay?
Listen,Copy !req
55. I'll run training camp
if you need me to.Copy !req
56. We're family now, so...Copy !req
57. I want you to meet
my wife and my daughter.Copy !req
58. This is JoAnn.Copy !req

60. - Thank you for coming.
- My heart breaks.
I can't imagine.Copy !req
61. Hi, Lois.Copy !req
62. You must be Rose.Copy !req
63. Your husband was a saint.Copy !req
64. We're all gonna miss him.Copy !req
65. You pushed and you pushed.Copy !req
66. You couldn't just leave
well enough alone?Copy !req
67. Dad, Dad,
did she just hit you?Copy !req
68. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
69. - I'm so sorry.
- Uh, we should
go out the back here...Copy !req
70. You talked to Jerry Tarkanian,Copy !req
71. and you're sure he's out?Copy !req
72. Not his wife,
not some other bozo.Copy !req
73. - You're absolutely sure?
- Dr. Buss, what I'm sure of
is we're out of time.Copy !req
74. Alright, so who the fuck
is Jack McKinney?Copy !req
75. You met him last week.Copy !req
76. He's the assistant coach
for Portland.Copy !req
77. You know, glasses,
looks like a CPA.Copy !req
78. I know who he is, Bill.
I'm saying,Copy !req
79. who is he? Fucking nobody.Copy !req
80. - I met the guy. Can't even
remember his fucking face.
- He's a visionary.Copy !req
81. Basketball guru.
All sorts of big ideas.Copy !req
82. - Uh-huh.
- Hell,
he's the reason RamsayCopy !req
83. won that title up there
with a bunch of nobodies!Copy !req
84. Bill, you're sure
this is the guy?Copy !req
85. - You're absolutely sure?
- If we don't hire someone,Copy !req
86. we're gonna open
training camp without a coach!Copy !req
87. Unbelievable!Copy !req
88. Run it!Copy !req
89. How was the call?Copy !req
90. I don't know, I think I...
overplayed my hand.Copy !req
91. Full control of
the roster, cuts,Copy !req
92. trades, hires...Copy !req
93. I'm pretty sure
I scared 'em off.Copy !req
94. No, not if they have any sense.Copy !req
95. It's probably
the wrong fit anyway.Copy !req
96. Oh, is that what
you're running from?Copy !req
97. - Be another move.
- Like Portland.Copy !req
98. And Milwaukee.Copy !req
99. At least LA has sunshine.Copy !req
100. And a damn good team.Copy !req
101. That's the problem.
It's perfect.Copy !req
102. Oh. Sounds like a catastrophe.Copy !req
103. It will be, if it fails.Copy !req
104. I've been an assistant
for so damn long, Cranny.Copy !req
105. This is my vision.Copy !req
106. This thing has
been in my head...Copy !req
107. for 20 years.Copy !req
108. If I can't make it work
with guys that good,Copy !req
109. - it doesn't work.
- Well...Copy !req
110. it's a good thing
you blew the interview.Copy !req
111. - Dad!Copy !req
112. - It's for you!
- Someone from the Lakers.Copy !req
113. Is that about Tark?Copy !req
114. Yeah.Copy !req
115. He's gonna stay in Vegas
where he belongs, so.Copy !req
116. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
117. Hey. You know...Copy !req
118. - Onwards and upwards.
- It wasn't fair.Copy !req
119. What she said.Copy !req
120. It's not your fault, Dad.Copy !req
121. I know. I know, honey.Copy !req
122. Sweetie, do you think we could
take a rain check on Monopoly?Copy !req
123. - Sure.
- You sure?Copy !req
124. Yeah, I have work.Copy !req
125. - Anyway, so.
- That's my little Jeanie Pie.Copy !req
126. Alright. I won't be too late.Copy !req
127. Whether 'tis nobler
in the mindCopy !req
128. to suffer the slingsCopy !req
129. and arrows of
outrageous fortune,Copy !req
130. or to take arms
against a sea of troubles...Copy !req
131. and by opposing...Copy !req
132. end them.Copy !req
133. You give out any A's this time?Copy !req
134. - No one deserved one.
- Well, you know
what they say, Paul.Copy !req
135. Students are only as
good as their professor.Copy !req
136. - Which, on the subject, we still
need to discuss those syllabi.Copy !req
137. - Frankly, your insistence
on including—
- Yeah. Can I— Can I just—Copy !req
138. Jack? Hey.Copy !req
139. Holy cow.Copy !req
140. No, um...Copy !req
141. Cassie and the kids
will be thrilled.Copy !req
142. And I will see you there.Copy !req
143. Are we finished?Copy !req
144. Fuckin'-a right.Copy !req
145. - Where are you going?
- Palm Springs.Copy !req
146. Training camp.Copy !req
147. Well, the Lakers are about
to open training campCopy !req
148. under a new head coach,
and all kinds of questions.Copy !req
149. But maybe, maybe,
just maybe the biggestCopy !req
150. right off the bat,
who's gonna run this offense?Copy !req
151. Magic Johnson or Norm Nixon?Copy !req
152. Who is the fucking—
Me! Stormin' Norman.Copy !req
153. Oh, I'm gonna be running
point. Best believe that.Copy !req
154. I'll show his happy ass
some magic!Copy !req
155. Norm, you better get ready.Copy !req
156. I got some tricks
up my sleeve, too.Copy !req
157. I'm gonna be on
that ass.Copy !req
158. Hey. Can't this thing
go any faster?Copy !req
159. if you put him on the court
with professionals...Copy !req
160. - ... a six-foot-nine rookie
at point guard?Copy !req
161. Which brings me to
my next question which is,Copy !req
162. who the heck
is Jack McKinney?Copy !req
163. One day, we hear
it's Tark the Shark.
Now it's Jack the nobody?Copy !req
164. He's supposed to be the guy
deciding on the lineup,Copy !req
165. - and he's never made
a real decision on this own.Copy !req
166. - You said it, pal!
- Gimme it!
No, let me try again!Copy !req
167. won a championship...Copy !req
168. supposedly off of
his X's and O's.Copy !req
169. And what happens if
McKinney just can't hack it?Copy !req
170. with 21 guys,Copy !req
171. Hand me the screwdriver.Copy !req
172. fresh meat like
Michael Cooper.Copy !req
173. Yeah, my guess is the last
thing he'll hear this week?Copy !req
174. - "Hey, Coach wants
to see you. Hit the road."
- You hear that?Copy !req
175. They're talking
about me.Copy !req
176. I should call myself
Shit Luck Cooper.Copy !req
177. Now, I'm gonna roll
into camp late,Copy !req
178. - new coach doesn't know my ass.
- Hand me the screwdriver.Copy !req
179. I'm telling you, God is
sending me a message.Copy !req
180. Take your skinny Black ass
back to SavOn.
Basketball ain't for you.Copy !req
181. I'm supposed to die
and rot out hereCopy !req
182. like buzzard food.
It ain't in here.Copy !req
183. What's this look like?Copy !req
184. - Love you, babe.Copy !req
185. You wanna talk about
big question marks?Copy !req
186. The biggest unknown is Kareem.Copy !req
187. 32 years old, 10 seasons
on those skinny bones.Copy !req
188. His best days
are way behind him.Copy !req
189. I don't even know
if he wants to be here.Copy !req
190. - I'll put on some music.
- He may be the best centerCopy !req
191. ever to play the game
of basketball...Copy !req
192. - Leave it.
- ... but if you look in
the encyclopediaCopy !req
193. under "checked out,"
you're gonna see a picture
of his frowning face.Copy !req
194. Some kind of joint, huh?Copy !req
195. Glad the wives are
getting settled in LA.Copy !req
196. 'Tis one thing to be tempted,
another thing to fall.Copy !req
197. Yeah, where
we going here?Copy !req
198. Oh, just-just this way.Copy !req
199. Hey, Jack,
I just wanna thank you.Copy !req
200. It's been a real rough year.Copy !req
201. One bad season,
those alumni turned on meCopy !req
202. like Senators on Caesar.Copy !req
203. Took my whistle,Copy !req
204. stuck me teaching
freshmen philistinesCopy !req
205. who still think Brutus is
a character from "Popeye."Copy !req
206. Well, had me thinking
basketball was done with me,Copy !req
207. and then
I heard from you.Copy !req
208. True hope is swift and flies
with swallow's wings.Copy !req
209. Sort of surprised they
went for me, actually.Copy !req
210. - You know, the-the team.
- Yeah, they didn't want to.Copy !req
211. Oh.Copy !req
212. I insisted. I told them
my system isn't easy,Copy !req
213. and neither am I.
And that you wereCopy !req
214. an expert on them both.Copy !req
215. Thanks, Jack.Copy !req
216. I won't let you down.Copy !req
217. There he is!Copy !req
218. You made it. Jack.Copy !req
219. Welcome to The Ocotillo,
my little oasis in the desert.Copy !req
220. Come on over.
I wanna introduce you
to some friends of mine.Copy !req
221. We're gonna have a little fun
tonight, if that's alright.Copy !req
222. We're gonna get started with
a little swimsuit competition,Copy !req
223. you know, break the ice.
Bill! Jerry!Copy !req
224. You remember these guys.Copy !req
225. - Great to have you.
- Jack.Copy !req
226. - Welcome. Paul.
- Jack.Copy !req
227. When can I meet the team?Copy !req
228. When can you meet the team?
I figure we'll do that
tomorrow morning.Copy !req
229. You know,
when the boys are fresh.
That way, you and I can,Copy !req
230. you know, break some bread.
Talk turkey.Copy !req
231. Dr. Buss wants me to,
uh, get you settled in.Copy !req
232. The Logo here has
staked his name on you.Copy !req
233. Fuck it!
I'll stake my fuckin' name—Copy !req
234. I'd rather jump right into it,
if that's alright.Copy !req
235. - Now?
- If that's
alright, yeah.Copy !req
236. - Yeah, sure.
You're the boss.
- Great.Copy !req
237. Can we get a room
with a projector?Copy !req
238. Meeting on the hour.Copy !req
239. - Okay.
- So, get him
whatever he needs.Copy !req
240. Get a fruit basket,
some champagne...Copy !req
241. Dr. Buss,
h-he's the assistant coach.Copy !req
242. - That's Paul Westhead.
- Who?Copy !req
243. - Paul Westhead.
- Oh.Copy !req
244. - Kick back and enjoy yourself.
- See ya, Paul.Copy !req
245. - Thank you!
- Excuse me, girls.Copy !req
246. I'm not sure if you recall.Copy !req
247. Um, St. Joe's?
G-guarded you my junior year.Copy !req
248. Number 32.Copy !req
249. That's right.
That's me. Yes.Copy !req
250. I hope you make
a better fuckin' coach.Copy !req
251. I shall... endeavor.Copy !req
252. Hey, I love Palm Springs, man.Copy !req
253. Put your tongue
back in your mouth!Copy !req
254. Baby, I wasn't
looking at no girls.Copy !req
255. Well, you were about to.Copy !req
256. Focus on basketball.Copy !req
257. You got this.Copy !req
258. - I got this.
- It's the dream.Copy !req
259. - Love you.Copy !req
260. Bye, Mrs. Cooper. I'm gonna
take good care of your husband.Copy !req
261. You want me here, too?Copy !req
262. Could take a week off of school,
keep you relaxed.Copy !req
263. I wish, but no girls allowed.Copy !req
264. - No?
- Mm-mmm.Copy !req
265. Basketball is all it is
from here on out.Copy !req
266. - Just basketball?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
267. - Be good.
- I will.Copy !req
268. - Good my middle name.Copy !req
269. So, basketball is all
it is out here, huh?Copy !req
270. You know I gotta say somethin'.Copy !req
271. You see that girl
over there?Copy !req
272. - Hoo-wee!
- Oh. Yeah.Copy !req
273. Earvin Johnson?Copy !req
274. - Michael Cooper?Copy !req
275. I'm Pat Riley.
Welcome to camp.Copy !req
276. So you got your team rolls,
practice schedule in there.Copy !req
277. First meeting's in 10 minutes.Copy !req
278. Date Palm Room.
You know where that is?Copy !req
279. Just cut through there,
through the lobby,
make a hard right.Copy !req
280. - You good?
- Thanks.Copy !req
281. - Alright, you got it.
- Wait, wait!Copy !req
282. - I know you from somewhere.
- Yeah?Copy !req
283. Kentucky vs. Texas Western.Copy !req
284. That's right! Pops got me
out the bed for that one!Copy !req
285. Big Daddy D went up
and dunked it on you
right there—Copy !req
286. Hangin' all up on the rimCopy !req
287. like crazy, tongue out
and everything.Copy !req
288. Yeah, well...Copy !req
289. I still see it in my nightmares.Copy !req
290. But hey, that's part
of the game, right?Copy !req
291. - It makes you tougher.
- Yeah.Copy !req
292. So what, you, like, a coach
or somethin' now?Copy !req
293. Assistant announcer
and, uh, travel secretary.Copy !req
294. - What's up, Kenny?Copy !req
295. I like that tracksuit, baby.Copy !req
296. What up? Yo, Price, Carter.
How y'all doin'?Copy !req
297. AD, man, why you always got
the freshest threads on?Copy !req
298. Y'all shoulda saw him
at the premiere!Copy !req
299. - 'Sup, fellas?
- EJ, you really know how
to work the room, huh?Copy !req
300. Man, I'm just doin'
what the Magic Man do.Copy !req
301. Okay, well...Copy !req
302. No, no, no, not yet.Copy !req
303. Vets first.Copy !req
304. Well, what they
waitin' on?Copy !req
305. You'll see.Copy !req
306. Just play it cool.
Don't look him
too long in the eyes.Copy !req
307. You talkin' about him
like he the Boogeyman.Copy !req
308. What's up, Cap?
Like this dashiki.Copy !req
309. I take a glass of orange juice
with my morning paper.Copy !req
310. Separate it out by section.
News first,Copy !req
311. arts and leisure,Copy !req
312. sports last.Copy !req
313. Have it at my door at 6:00.Copy !req
314. You in for it.Copy !req
315. I was his rookie last year.Copy !req
316. I'm telling you,
outside his doorCopy !req
317. every day at the crack of dawn,Copy !req
318. he still ain't
like my juice.Copy !req
319. "Too warm, too cold,
too pulpy, not enough pulp."Copy !req
320. - Well, he gonna like
my juice.
- I hope so.Copy !req
321. - I got you, Cap.
Take it easy, cowboy.Copy !req
322. Back of the bus,
rookie section.Copy !req
323. Don't be no Rosa Parks.Copy !req
324. Right.Copy !req
325. - Get this to my room, rook.
- I'm actually not
a rookie this year—Copy !req
326. Oh shit!Copy !req
327. - Ron motherfuckin' Boone!
- What's up, Black man?Copy !req
328. - Hey, you guaranteed this year?
- Man, fuck no.Copy !req
329. But after this camp,
I ain't giving them a choice.Copy !req
330. Yeah, you know how it is.
- What's up, fellas?Copy !req
331. - How y'all doin'? Y'all good?
- Oh shit. Landsberger!Copy !req
332. - Hey! What's up, baby?
- Hey, still ain't right...Copy !req
333. - So, who the fuck
is this McKinney?
- ... but you still white.Copy !req
334. Alright, fellas,
let's settle in. Come on.Copy !req
335. Right. I'm gonna hand
the keys over to Jack here.Copy !req
336. I want y'all to show him
the same respect
y'all showed me.Copy !req
337. Okay. Take it away.Copy !req
338. Paul?Copy !req
339. This is from last season,
your base set.Copy !req
340. There's Nixon.Copy !req
341. Walks the ball up, calls it.Copy !req
342. Dantley with a screen.Copy !req
343. Wilkes in the corner,
fakes his man, sinks a jumper.Copy !req
344. Smooth as silk, baby.
Hey!Copy !req
345. Twenty seconds. Next.Copy !req
346. This was the play you
ran most frequently.Copy !req
347. Kareem in the post,
receives the pass...Copy !req
348. six to eight dribbles...Copy !req
349. skyhook...Copy !req
350. 23 seconds.Copy !req
351. And then there's this
from the same game.Copy !req
352. Nineteen seconds.Copy !req
353. That's three plays,
two conversions,Copy !req
354. 62 seconds of game time,
for four points a minute,Copy !req
355. which, at a roughly
66% conversion rate,Copy !req
356. that's close to
a hundred points a game.Copy !req
357. In line with the league
average because thisCopy !req
358. is how everybody in
the league plays basketball.Copy !req
359. Methodical,
predictable, and slow.Copy !req
360. But a few times every game,
this happens.Copy !req
361. Five seconds.
Three sets of hands.
One easy basket.Copy !req
362. So, why do you guysCopy !req
363. only do this six or seven
times a contest?Copy !req
364. Because it ain't a choice.Copy !req
365. They miss, we get the rebound,Copy !req
366. maybe a steal, we get out
ahead, and we go for it.Copy !req
367. Ain't no way we can
do that all the time.Copy !req
368. - Why not?
- Breaking ain't something
we can count on.Copy !req
369. Not when you're only running
off of other teams' mistakes,Copy !req
370. misses, and steals.Copy !req
371. That's why, from now on,Copy !req
372. we won't wait for anyone
to give us breaks.Copy !req
373. We'll make our own.Copy !req
374. Constant motion offense.Copy !req
375. Don't stagnate in positions.
Dart.Copy !req
376. Pass. Keep our
opponents chasing us.Copy !req
377. appropriating street ball.Copy !req
378. - What's that, Kareem?
- I said...Copy !req
379. sounds like street ball.
Chaos.Copy !req
380. It is.Copy !req
381. So, here's the thing.Copy !req
382. A classical offense is
a lot like classical music.Copy !req
383. - Coaches put a bunch
of notes in place,Copy !req
384. X's and O's,Copy !req
385. and all the players
are supposed to doCopy !req
386. is hit their cues.Copy !req
387. It makes a pretty melody,
but it's the same song
every time,Copy !req
388. and everybody in the building
knows exactly where it's going.Copy !req
389. So, how does an offense
go from classicalCopy !req
390. - to jazz?Copy !req
391. You put the music
in the players' hands.Copy !req
392. The point guard is your melody.Copy !req
393. He sets the tempo.
He keeps the pace up.Copy !req
394. Your wings, they harmonize.Copy !req
395. Your big man on the trail,
he's your bass.Copy !req
396. Instead of
chaining them to spots,Copy !req
397. you keep them moving,Copy !req
398. improvise, so they can flowCopy !req
399. like flocks of birds
and butterflies.Copy !req
400. Because what seems
or sounds like chaosCopy !req
401. is actually the symphony
of Mother Nature.Copy !req
402. Everything unpredictable
has underlying patterns,Copy !req
403. and when those patterns
become reflex,Copy !req
404. individuals become
an unstoppable force.Copy !req
405. Or that's the theory, anyway.Copy !req
406. Until now, nobody's ever been
dumb enough to try it.Copy !req
407. Who brought their tennis shoes?Copy !req
408. Man, Wanda's gonna kill me!
These are Stacy Adams!Copy !req
409. - 'What's up, Storm?
Thought you was fast.
- Nigga, you can't spell fast.Copy !req
410. They're called
McKinney miles, gentlemen!Copy !req
411. You can't keep up with McKinney,Copy !req
412. you run another mile!Copy !req
413. This motherfucker got us
runnin' north to freedom.Copy !req
414. Starting to regret that
second rib-eye, man.Copy !req
415. - Brad,
how long's a mile?Copy !req
416. Times are tough.Copy !req
417. People are waiting in line
for hours to get gas.Copy !req
418. The smog's so bad, they can't
even take their kids outside.Copy !req
419. But when customers
buy tickets to the Forum,Copy !req
420. they'll be buying
an escape.Copy !req
421. Slide.Copy !req
422. At the Forum,
your family's taken care of.Copy !req
423. Something for everyone,Copy !req
424. starting with
the Forum clubhouse.Copy !req
425. And our other
entertainment won't takeCopy !req
426. time-outs just
because the team does.Copy !req
427. Family-friendly halftime shows.
A marching band,Copy !req
428. our own spirit squad,Copy !req
429. - and the cherry on top?Copy !req
430. A mascot.Copy !req
431. What, we're going to dress
someone up as a lake?Copy !req
432. No, what goes
on top of a lake?Copy !req
433. - Algae.
- Ducks.Copy !req
434. But, not just any duck.Copy !req
435. Slam...Copy !req
436. - Fuck!Copy !req
437. - Shit! Fuck!
- Oh my god.Copy !req
438. Duck! Duck! Slam Duck.Copy !req
439. Lon, you okay?Copy !req
440. Slam Duck.Copy !req
441. The details we're
still, uh, adjusting,Copy !req
442. - but we took the broad—
- Kill the duck.Copy !req
443. - Done.
- What?Copy !req
444. Shoot him, stuff him,
eat him, roast him.
I don't care.Copy !req
445. Just get rid of him.
The rest of it, I like.Copy !req
446. Jeanie, why don't you
introduce these twoCopy !req
447. to the marching band
and cheer squad at SC?Copy !req
448. Uh, yeah. Sure.Copy !req
449. What?Copy !req
450. - Nothing, if you think this is—
- You said he liked
this kind of stuff.Copy !req
451. He does, at college games.Copy !req
452. But it's sort of the same,
isn't it?Copy !req
453. I just know he's
after something new.Copy !req
454. Never mind, this is good!
I, um, I like it—Copy !req
455. No, how about
an actual suggestion?Copy !req
456. Okay.Copy !req
457. Then, um...Copy !req
458. This is Disneyland stuff,
right?Copy !req
459. And I think we need that,Copy !req
460. but maybe, uh,Copy !req
461. we also need something
like the Hollywood Bowl,Copy !req
462. or-or the Oscars,
the-the Playboy Club.Copy !req
463. Oh, that's all?
Let's throw, uh,Copy !req
464. - Mickey Mouse an orgy
with Bob Hope—
- Alright.Copy !req
465. - Okay, okay.
- Sorry, I shouldn't
have said anything.Copy !req
466. Don't apologize.
Just bring us an idea, okay?Copy !req
467. No fucking ducks.Copy !req
468. Thank you for your thoughts.Copy !req
469. Morning, Cap.
Got your OJ, got your paper.Copy !req
470. You don't want the juice?
Is there somethin' in it?Copy !req
471. Yo! Here he is!Copy !req
472. Hey, happy first day, Jack.Copy !req
473. Listen, we still
haven't had a chanceCopy !req
474. to have that, you know,
little chat we wanted.Copy !req
475. Just wanna make sure you

510. they take a breakCopy !req
511. and watch you work.Copy !req
512. Good.Copy !req
513. Let's go again.Copy !req
514. Alright, Johnson.

515. Come on, B,
let's go to work!Copy !req
516. - So look,Copy !req
517. you about to watch

519. Hey, I'm open!Copy !req
520. But most guysCopy !req
521. lookin' out to get they own.Copy !req

530. But I get my numbers, too.Copy !req
531. Even when I'm passin'...

for love at first sight.
- What the fuck?Copy !req
542. - Hey, you was open.
- You see me lookin' at you?Copy !req
543. Be mad at your hands
for not catching the ball.Copy !req
544. Motherfucker,
keep your eyes up.Copy !req
545. Ever seen a pass
like that before?Copy !req
546. It's not a pass
unless they catch it.Copy !req
547. - Making new friends
already, huh?
- Whatever, man.Copy !req
548. Get your head up, go again!Copy !req
549. Again!Copy !req
550. Who the fuck is Jack McKinney?Copy !req
551. All of a sudden,
she knows basketball.Copy !req
552. I read the paper.
I know he's a nobodyCopy !req
553. - who looks like
a tax accountant.
- Mom...Copy !req
554. did you come here
to get a suntan,Copy !req
555. or do you have some
good news for me?Copy !req
556. Great news. Great news.Copy !req
557. You're not gonna like it,
though. Refill me.Copy !req
558. When that loan comes due,Copy !req
559. whoever owns this albatrossCopy !req
560. is on the hook.Copy !req
561. Well, I'm not selling the team.Copy !req
562. No, no, no.Copy !req
563. I would never dream
of that. Uh-uh.Copy !req
564. You're giving it away.Copy !req
565. - No.
- Yes.Copy !req
566. No fucking way.
My ex-wife?Copy !req
567. Well, who else?
You've been saddling her
with liabilitiesCopy !req
568. - for the last 30 years.
- I'm not... giving her...
my team.Copy !req
569. It's paperwork.Copy !req
570. You put the sports thing
in her name.Copy !req
571. The balloon loan stays
in yours with Mariani-Buss.Copy !req
572. That way, when Great Western
comes collecting, you and FrankCopy !req
573. can pay them some pocket lint
and file for bankruptcy.Copy !req
574. Forget it. I'll pay the loan.Copy !req
575. You're broke!Copy !req
576. - Mother!
- You knew this silly leagueCopy !req
577. was sinking,
and you bought it anyway.Copy !req
578. You tied up
every dime you've got.Copy !req
579. I'm your mother, goddammit.
I'll drag you on the lifeboatCopy !req
580. if I have to hogtie you
to do it.Copy !req
581. Well, thanks, Mom,Copy !req
582. but I think
I'll take my chances.Copy !req
583. Well...Copy !req
584. That was the good news?Copy !req
585. - You already have her
name on the paperwork?
- I did the paperwork.Copy !req
586. - You asked me to do
what you asked me to do.
- Let me tell you something.Copy !req
587. - Don't even
mention it to JoAnn.
- I wouldn't—Copy !req
588. Jamaal! Dantley!
What are you doing?Copy !req
589. - I'm posting up!
- This is my corner.Copy !req
590. You don't have a corner!
Nobody has spotsCopy !req
591. or corners! Right?Copy !req
592. Flow means water.
Flow means finding
the empty spaces.Copy !req
593. If you're standing still,
you're just a pebble
in the stream.Copy !req
594. - Let's go again!Copy !req
595. Fuckin' embarrass
your-fuckin'-self here...Copy !req
596. Oh shit.Copy !req
597. - Go again!Copy !req
598. Let's go, fellas.Copy !req
599. - Oh, fuck me! Fuck, Jesus!
- Shit!Copy !req
600. - Fucking hell!
- Oh, Jesus!Copy !req
601. - Jerry, Jerry.
I didn't see you, man.
- Shit! Fuck!Copy !req
602. What happened?
They lock you out?Copy !req
603. Fuck no. Hell no.
No. Just, you know,
I'm, you know...Copy !req
604. I'm just, you know, giving Jack
a little time with boys.Copy !req
605. - That's all. That's it.
- Oh.Copy !req
606. - The fuck is that anyway?
- Oh, it's a videotape camera.Copy !req
607. Chick said I could put
a little thing together,Copy !req
608. and we'll show it on KCAL.Copy !req
609. - Which by the way,
if you're up for an interview...
- You got the practice on there?Copy !req
610. Yeah. Yeah, some of it.Copy !req
611. Yeah. Keeps coming out
a little green, though.Copy !req
612. What, wanna see?Copy !req
613. - Wanna see?
- Yeah, I do.Copy !req
614. - Huh?Copy !req
615. - That was bullshit.Copy !req
616. It's my contract year.
How I'm supposed
to raise my price,Copy !req
617. some punk-ass coach
won't let me in the post?Copy !req
618. Maybe you can buy your ass
a jump shot while you at it.Copy !req
619. Our bigger problem
is sitting over there.Copy !req
620. Smiley-ass bitch
making everybody look bad.Copy !req
621. He hit me with
that ball again,
I'm gonna bust his ass.Copy !req
622. Hell yeah!Copy !req
623. How's it goin' out there?Copy !req
624. - You know, the guys
look a little beat.
- Mm.Copy !req
625. "No profit grows
where pleasure is taken."Copy !req
626. That how you feel, Jack?Copy !req
627. Have you ever levitated, Jerry?Copy !req
628. Uh... huh?Copy !req
629. Some Buddhists in TibetCopy !req
630. say that that's what happens
to them when they meditate.Copy !req
631. They legitimately levitate
above the ground.Copy !req
632. I've only ever had that
feeling in basketball.Copy !req
633. Like, you're one with
the flow. Like-like, uh...Copy !req
634. time stands still.Copy !req
635. Floating... Yeah.Copy !req
636. Anyhow, that's my opinion.
I'll keep you posted.Copy !req
637. Ticket sales are down
around the league.Copy !req
638. We need a way to—Copy !req
639. - I think I ruptured
something.Copy !req
640. I don't know if I ever—Copy !req
641. - Fuck! Shit!
- Hey.Copy !req
642. You-you can relax.
I've smoked grass before.Copy !req
643. Who are you?Copy !req
644. - What?
- The intern or
the boss's daughter?Copy !req
645. 'Cause one of them's a narc.Copy !req
646. I'm the intern.Copy !req
647. Fuck it. Give her a light.Copy !req
648. Can I ask you
an honest question?Copy !req
649. - Why are you here?
- Because you offered
me a joint, so—Copy !req
650. No, no, no. Not, like,
"here" here. I mean...Copy !req
651. why do you work here?
Like,Copy !req
652. - why do you work at all?
- Yeah.Copy !req
653. Yeah, if I had daddy money,
I'd buy me a drop-top DeVilleCopy !req
654. and cruise down the PCHCopy !req
655. with the finest foxes in LA.Copy !req
656. Her daddy's not that rich.Copy !req
657. Be honest.Copy !req
658. Do you have some deal
with your dadCopy !req
659. where you work for a semester,Copy !req
660. and he buys you
a Benz or something?Copy !req
661. No, it's nothing like that.Copy !req
662. I look at my mom, and, you know,Copy !req
663. sh-she has all her charities
and her lunches at the club.Copy !req
664. And honestly,
that's all she's ever been.Copy !req
665. I mean, I love her
more than anything,Copy !req
666. but nobody needs her.Copy !req
667. Not like people need my dad,Copy !req
668. and all those years
she spent raising us,Copy !req
669. my dad, he-he spent
chasing what he wanted.Copy !req
670. - Fuck.
- What?Copy !req
671. I don't hate
the boss's daughter.Copy !req
672. They did a beautiful job.
- Looks great.Copy !req
673. - Yeah, I agree.
- These look likeCopy !req
674. a winter social
what they got on there.Copy !req
675. - I see, yeah.
- They're athletic girls!Copy !req
676. They're dancers!
They like to show their body!Copy !req
677. - Yes.
- That's going to have to...Copy !req
678. change a little bit.Copy !req
679. Just give me the overview.Copy !req
680. Um, you know,
this is justCopy !req
681. - a-a jumping-off point,
of course.
- Yeah.Copy !req
682. Uh, but, we are thinking...Copy !req
683. Disneyland...Copy !req
684. meets...Copy !req
685. the Playboy Club...Copy !req
686. at the Oscars.Copy !req
687. Hey! Now, you're talkin'!Copy !req
688. Now, if you throw in
a little Hollywood BowlCopy !req
689. in there to spruce up the joint,Copy !req
690. - then we're solid gold.
- Yeah!Copy !req
691. Great. Great.Copy !req
692. Claire, while,
I got you here,Copy !req
693. - I wanna pick your
brain a little bit.
- Mm-hmm, please.Copy !req
694. I was talking to my accountant
about the books, and...Copy !req
695. - Well, d-don't worry,
it's no big deal. It's just...
- Right.Copy !req
696. I was wondering if you
could give me a ballpark...Copy !req
697. What's your guesstimate aboutCopy !req
698. what a yearly profit
might look like?Copy !req
699. - Like a banner year
for the Forum?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
700. Yeah, hard to say,Copy !req
701. you know, without,
uh, an idea of...Copy !req
702. - the team's success, you know.
- Y-yeah.Copy !req
703. Of course. Hypothetical.
I know. I'm not...Copy !req
704. Believe me, I'm not gonna hold
you to the number. I just...Copy !req
705. If you had to guess.
You know, what?Copy !req
706. Three million?Copy !req
707. - Pie in sky...
- Why not?Copy !req
708. assuming we keep
costs low, sell out...Copy !req
709. - ... half the year,
which no one's ever done...
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
710. If the team could
make a playoff run,Copy !req
711. - add extra home games?
- Two.Copy !req
712. Yeah? Two million?Copy !req
713. 1.25, 1.3...Copy !req
714. - ... in that range.Copy !req
715. - Uh-huh.
- But I, um...Copy !req
716. - ... I wouldn't count on that.
- Yeah.Copy !req
717. Of course not.Copy !req
718. Not gonna count on it.Copy !req
719. We're just try— Like I said,
just trying to get a...Copy !req
720. You're doin' a great job.Copy !req
721. - I love all of this.
- Oh.Copy !req
722. - Oh! Watch your head!Copy !req
723. - Alright, Claire.
Keep working on the show.
- Alright.Copy !req
724. - That's what's gonna

813. But, Kareem won't

814. Norm's scared
I'ma take his spot.Copy !req
815. They all busy
worrying about them.Copy !req
816. When they should be

817. I don't want 'em

818. I want them having fun.Copy !req
819. Cook, I could get

887. Honest about what?Copy !req
888. Oh, come on.Copy !req
889. Those doe eyes work on Daddy.Copy !req
890. I know better.Copy !req
891. My girl pays attention.Copy !req
892. I heard you talking
about some money stuff.Copy !req
893. But, he won't talk to me.Copy !req
894. And every time I try
and ask him what's wrong,Copy !req
895. he just pretends
everything is okay,Copy !req
896. and he jets out with some bimbo.Copy !req
897. Well, believe me, whatever
he's doing with themCopy !req
898. has nothing to do with talking.Copy !req
899. Well, then how about

900. Just somebody tell me something.Copy !req
901. Grandma, how bad is it?Copy !req
902. Falling apart.Copy !req
903. So, what do we do then?Copy !req

I just need five minutes.Copy !req
914. Hiya, Jo!
What can I do you for?Copy !req
915. My own daughterCopy !req
916. shows up at my house,Copy !req
917. trying to sell me
like the Avon Lady?Copy !req
918. "Daddy needs you to
sign this. Please!Copy !req
919. It's for the family.
It's only paperwork!"Copy !req
920. I had nothing to do with this.
My fucking mother!Copy !req
921. Jessie brought me this crap
and I said no, never.Copy !req
922. I would rather lose everythingCopy !req
923. than get my family
involved in this.Copy !req
924. You don't have family.Copy !req
925. You have fallout.Copy !req
926. - JoAnn—
- Just save it.Copy !req
927. You're a silent partner now,Copy !req
928. so start listening.Copy !req
929. What's that mean?Copy !req
930. I signed it.Copy !req
931. You signed it.Copy !req
932. - If I get so muchCopy !req
933. as an inkling that this
black hole of bullshitCopy !req
934. - is going to suck me in.
- Okay.Copy !req
935. - Or, God forbid, our children...
- I'm saying okay.Copy !req
936. Okay!Copy !req
937. If I ever have to choose between
your ego and my family...Copy !req
938. You know I will always
choose this family.Copy !req
939. Sell it to another sucker.Copy !req
940. The first time
I came out here,Copy !req
941. it was for the A-bomb test.Copy !req
942. Lit up the night sky
like a second sun.Copy !req
943. Just for a blink
of an eye, and then,Copy !req
944. poof.Copy !req
945. Nothing left but radiation.Copy !req
946. And the only thing I've foundCopy !req
947. that's anything like that...Copy !req
948. is the look in their eyeCopy !req
949. when you first meet 'em.Copy !req
950. When they first look at you.Copy !req
951. Yeah...Copy !req
952. Then they get to
know you better.Copy !req
953. Hm...Copy !req
954. - Oh my god.
- That was fast.Copy !req
955. - Oh Jesus.Copy !req
956. Jeanie Bean!Copy !req
957. And then what's reflectedCopy !req
958. in their eyes is
who you really are.Copy !req
959. We all got somethin',
Dr. Buss.Copy !req
960. I sure don't miss
that feeling.Copy !req
961. And yet, you can't stay away.Copy !req
962. Yeah, believe me, Jack.
I'm trying.Copy !req
963. But you see, I made
a promise to this franchiseCopy !req
964. not to leave it hanging
till you have it on its feet.Copy !req
965. We're making progress.Copy !req
966. Well, that's funny.
It's not what I'm hearing
from the guys.Copy !req
967. It's human nature
to resist change.Copy !req
968. These men are being asked to buy
into a new way of doing things.Copy !req
969. Some can't.Copy !req
970. Some won't.Copy !req
971. That's why we'll be making cuts.Copy !req
972. I've been working up a list.Copy !req
973. My guess is whoever
came to you is on it.Copy !req
974. Got the whole team on
that list then, huh, Jack?Copy !req
975. - I've seen some tape.
- You spying on me?Copy !req
976. Oh, come on, Jack.Copy !req
977. I mean, shit,
I went to the fuckin' matCopy !req
978. to get you hired on this job.Copy !req
979. Look, hell, I know
better than anyoneCopy !req
980. that what you got inside of
that head of yours is genius.Copy !req
981. But you gotta open
your eyes. I mean,Copy !req
982. we're two weeks out
from the season.Copy !req
983. You run this wagon right off
the trail outta the gate,Copy !req
984. well, that genius shit of yoursCopy !req
985. is gonna stay
right in your head,Copy !req
986. right where it is,
right on that page.Copy !req
987. You hired me to change
the way we play!Copy !req
988. You ain't fuckin' God, Jack.Copy !req
989. You don't got to
do it in six days
and sleep on a Sunday.Copy !req
990. I mean...Copy !req
991. You got to work
with human beings,Copy !req
992. who've been playing this
damn game the same wayCopy !req
993. their whole lives.
They can't change on a dime.Copy !req
994. - You can't change it once
the season starts.
- Meet the men halfway.Copy !req
995. Build gradual.Copy !req
996. Keep some things the same.
I mean, just, I mean, come on,Copy !req
997. let 'em hit their spot
sometimes.Copy !req
998. Little safety comfort zone.
Th-they'll work with that.Copy !req
999. Are we negotiating now?
Is this a negotiation?Copy !req
1000. Only if you want
to make it work.Copy !req
1001. Fuck, I want this
team to levitateCopy !req
1002. just as much as you, Jack.Copy !req
1003. But the shit part of being
a head coach, like it or not,Copy !req
1004. you got to be the one
with your feet on the ground.Copy !req
1005. That's not my system.Copy !req
1006. And if you really want
to help me, Jerry,Copy !req
1007. take my list to Bill
and Dr. BussCopy !req
1008. and tell them to build
the squad I need.Copy !req
1009. No more closed practices.Copy !req
1010. We'll be there tomorrow.
Me, Bill, and Dr. Buss.Copy !req
1011. I used to see these guys,
these brilliant guysCopy !req
1012. that get these coaching jobs,Copy !req
1013. and they'd swear they're going
to revolutionize the sport.Copy !req
1014. - And then,Copy !req
1015. you wonder just how they got
as dull as everybody else.Copy !req
1016. Man, I get it now.Copy !req
1017. Give up the dream or die.Copy !req
1018. Are those the only options?Copy !req
1019. - What else is there?
The dream could work.Copy !req
1020. It isn't.
That's what I'm telling you.Copy !req
1021. When I close my eyes,
I can see it. And then,Copy !req
1022. I open my eyes.
Nobody else can see it.Copy !req
1023. - Cap think he can
get rid of me that easy.Copy !req
1024. He must not know
I'm from Lansing.Copy !req
1025. Man, he better
love this juice.Copy !req
1026. He gonna love this juice...
He gonna love this juice.Copy !req
1027. Morning, Cap.
I got your orange juice,
and I got your paper.Copy !req
1028. - Nah, Cap!Copy !req
1029. Nah, Cap.Copy !req
1030. Look, I may be a rookie,Copy !req
1031. but I been
bustin' my ass offCopy !req
1032. to get up before the crack of
dawn to get you this here juice,Copy !req
1033. and you ain't even
tried it yet.Copy !req
1034. Done squeezed this shit myself.Copy !req
1035. All I'm asking is that
you just take a sip.Copy !req
1036. That's not bad.Copy !req
1037. I know. Right on, right on.Copy !req
1038. But I asked you to
bring me a newspaper.Copy !req
1039. That's the "LA Times"
right there—Copy !req
1040. This is not a newspaper.Copy !req
1041. So what newspaper I'm
supposed to bring you, Cap?Copy !req
1042. Damn!Copy !req

1112. and everywhere you look,Copy !req
1113. there's something
