What's wrong with you?Copy !req
19. I just told him
the good news.Copy !req
20. First-round playoff
tickets went on sale.
Sold out in a day.Copy !req
21. That's a half a million dollars.Copy !req
22. - That's great.
- If we were playing
in the first round.Copy !req
23. Seattle lost.
We clinched a bye.Copy !req
24. That's two fewer home games.Copy !req
25. And that's a half
a million dollars in refunds.Copy !req
26. Plus what we would
have made in concessions.Copy !req
27. - So we lose money by winning.
- Welcome to the NBA.Copy !req
28. Is there any chance we're
still gonna break even?Copy !req
29. If we make the finalsCopy !req

44. Right. Which is
a top priority, of course.Copy !req
45. Claire, it's the only priority.Copy !req
46. Look, if she's spreading
herself too thin at the office,Copy !req
47. - she doesn't have to go there.
- It's the opposite.Copy !req
48. She's invaluable.Copy !req
49. Even with everything going on.Copy !req
50. I don't know how she does it,
to be honest.Copy !req
51. But this thing that we've built?
It's her as much as anybody.Copy !req
52. Probably more. And she has...Copy !req
53. - earned this opportunity.
- Don't mind me. I'm just...Copy !req
54. - Sneaking up on me?
- No, sir.Copy !req
55. I'm glad she's been useful,Copy !req

71. Jack McKinney

72. Jerry, I wouldn't trust
him to park my car.Copy !req
73. Stick with the horse what
brung you. That's Westhead.Copy !req
74. - McKinney. He's the brains
behind it all.
- Brains mean shitCopy !req
75. if he just spilled the best
part on the pavement.Copy !req
76. He's never even
coached a playoff game.Copy !req
77. We don't even know if Jack

78. We know that Paul's
still eating Gerber's.Copy !req
79. Westhead. McKinney. Westhead.
McKinney. Westhead. McKinney...Copy !req

86. you do not fuckin' dump that
turd on my fuckin' doorstep.Copy !req
87. I'm not asking you

88. - I'm just asking for your
opinion, mano a mano.
- Oh, yeah, right.Copy !req
89. And then what, huh?Copy !req
90. It's on fuckin' me.
It's on my fuckin' conscienceCopy !req
91. when whomever I chooseCopy !req
92. craps the fuckin' bed.
I know. Fuck that!Copy !req
93. Fuck that and fuck you!Copy !req
94. - Jerry, look at me...

95. Look at me.Copy !req
96. I'm gonna tell you something
I don't tell many people.Copy !req
97. I am in over my head.Copy !req
98. I bought this thing,

99. and I love this thing.
But you are this thing.Copy !req
100. So, you...Copy !req
101. You want— You wanna

113. Shit...Copy !req
114. Nice playoff suit,Copy !req
115. but I think, ha,

116. - with pants in Italy.
- Yeah, I just hope I get
to wear the fuckin' thing.Copy !req
117. You're going to wear it
in the playoffs.Copy !req
118. As long as I'm not
watching on TV.Copy !req
119. Jack's pushing hard.Copy !req
120. The doctors cleared him.
Now, it's back in Buss' court.Copy !req
121. Then, Buss'll judge it
fair and square.Copy !req
122. He likes Jack.
He hired the guy.Copy !req
123. Yeah, but that was before you
and Paul delivered 50 wins.Copy !req
124. What if this whole thing has
just been a giant fuckin' tease?Copy !req
125. Well then, at least you know
that the suit fits.Copy !req
126. Worst comes to worst,Copy !req
127. you can wear it next year
in Cleveland or wherever.Copy !req
128. And I'll fly out once in a whileCopy !req
129. and admire it
without the pants on.Copy !req
130. What's our mantra?Copy !req
131. Function forward.
Control what we can.Copy !req
132. Yes.Copy !req
133. Christ, Chris,

169. It's you.
You're on that shit again!Copy !req
170. I fucked up, Cap.Copy !req
171. I did. A few times, I said it.
I fucked up a few times—Copy !req
172. I'm telling you, when

173. Stop!Copy !req
174. Do you want this, Spence?Copy !req
175. This!Copy !req
176. Because I do.Copy !req

179. I do. I swear to you, I do.Copy !req
180. I want the ring.
I want to be able to give
this to my baby girl.Copy !req
181. Then cut it out.Copy !req
182. Right now!Copy !req
183. - Cold turkey.
- I can. I will.Copy !req
184. I got this.Copy !req
185. One shot.Copy !req
186. I ain't gonna let you down!Copy !req
187. Kareem in the post,
shakes one, two defenders.Copy !req
188. And look at Spencer Haywood!
Unbelievable.Copy !req
189. Look at him clear space
for the big fella.Copy !req
190. Folks, I'll tell you,
where would the Lakers beCopy !req
191. without the hustle
and physicalityCopy !req
192. of one Spencer Haywood?Copy !req
193. A lot of happy Lakers here,
and they should be.Copy !req
194. Just clinched the top seed
in the West,Copy !req
195. with two more games
to go until the playoffs.Copy !req
196. Doc, let me get you a refill.Copy !req
197. And, gals, if you don't

- Not bad at all.Copy !req
205. Listen, I know my mom must be
putting you through the ringer,Copy !req
206. but it's not gonna be
much longer.Copy !req
207. That new stuff we got her
guzzling down?Copy !req
208. State-of-the-art.
Did you knowCopy !req
209. that not a single
NASA astronautCopy !req
210. has died of natural causes?Copy !req
211. - I did not.
- That's a fact.Copy !req

214. Oh. Okay. Well,Copy !req
215. gonna get right into it.Copy !req
216. What's the good news?
How's it looking?Copy !req
217. It's worse.Copy !req
218. Well, she just started
that new protocol.Copy !req
219. She's in the end game, Jerry.Copy !req
220. And all the signs are pointing
in the same direction.Copy !req
221. Don't misinterpret.
I'm not sayingCopy !req
222. your experimental treatments
are to blame. They're not.Copy !req
223. It's just...Copy !req
224. a case like hers,Copy !req
225. certain outcomes are...Copy !req
226. What?Copy !req
227. Inevitable.Copy !req
228. I know that can be hard to hear.Copy !req
229. I don't like saying it,
but I have seen too many peopleCopy !req
230. waste too much precious time
tilting at windmills.Copy !req
231. And when the curtain closes,
all they're left with is regret.Copy !req
232. My advice, friend to friend,Copy !req
233. enjoy your mother
while you have her.Copy !req
234. Say the things you wish you had.Copy !req
235. That is your fucking attitude?Copy !req
236. - Jerry—
- Don't you "Jerry" me.Copy !req
237. No, no, don't you "Jerry" me.Copy !req
238. It's Dr. Buss,Copy !req
239. as in the guy who just builtCopy !req
240. your hospital a fucking wing!Copy !req
241. - For which the board
is very grateful.
- You guys are unbelievable.Copy !req
242. I let you in my club,
you feel up my girls,Copy !req
243. and now, you're gonna
hand me this plate of shit!Copy !req
244. - Look, I can't change
the science, Dr. Buss.
- Science?Copy !req
245. I am a fucking scientist.Copy !req
246. Roger Bannister.Copy !req
247. Now, there's a scientist!Copy !req
248. The Wright Brothers!
Those are scientists!Copy !req
249. Not you, pal!
You're Doctor Fucking No!Copy !req
250. If it was up to you,
planes wouldn't fly!Copy !req
251. They'd fucking crash and burn!Copy !req
252. And nobody'd be running
a four-minute mileCopy !req
253. 'cause you'd be telling
them it's impossible!Copy !req
254. You're Dr. Fucking No!Copy !req
255. And you're standing in
a house that yes built!Copy !req
256. So, let me tell you something!Copy !req
257. - You can take that no-can-do...Copy !req
258. and get the fuck out!Copy !req
259. Fuck. What the fuck

262. Which you mean ain't there?
Cookie ain't got no class today.Copy !req
263. Just tell her Rhonda

264. and I got proof anyway

265. I'll be sure to let
her know you called.Copy !req
266. - You do that.Copy !req
267. It's always been you and me.Copy !req

- Love you.Copy !req
274. Lame. Lame! Tell her!Copy !req
275. - What?
- That she's being
a fucking idiot.Copy !req
276. That's more something
you would say, Linda.Copy !req
277. I'm being serious.
This is your jobCopy !req
278. and it's in the classifieds.Copy !req
279. I already told you,
this isn't my job.Copy !req
280. - That's full-time.
- So are you.Copy !req
281. Why? Just because you
don't get paid for it?Copy !req
282. You need to talk to him.Copy !req
283. You need to tell him you
deserve this, or you watch.Copy !req
284. We'll have 60 people
lining up here Monday morning,Copy !req
285. waiting to take
what should be yours,Copy !req
286. and every one of them
dumber than Lon.Copy !req
287. It's not necessary to
say things like that.Copy !req
288. No. He needs me at home.Copy !req
289. I'm helping Grandma.Copy !req
290. If he thought I should
have taken the job,Copy !req
291. - he would have said so.
- Bullshit. Tell her.Copy !req
292. It kind of is.Copy !req
293. Jean-bean! There you are!Copy !req
294. Come on.
We're going on a mission.Copy !req
295. We're gonna kidnap Grandma.
Let's go.Copy !req

297. Right now! Grab your stuff.Copy !req
298. I'll be back.Copy !req
299. I just wanna see
what it's about.Copy !req
300. This is insane.Copy !req
301. Oh, hogwash. This place
is easier to break intoCopy !req
302. than a French girl's panties.Copy !req
303. We used to come here
every summer.Copy !req
304. - Practically
own the place.Copy !req
305. Mary Pickford would hit
the Riviera, and we'd pop inCopy !req
306. - for a picnic by the pool.
- We're all going
to end up in jail.Copy !req
307. Only if we let him
do the picking.Copy !req
308. Come on, let an expert
go to work.Copy !req
309. Goodness sakes,
you've been rich too long.Copy !req
310. - You forgot how to be useful.
- I learned how
to pay for things.Copy !req
311. Well, once you blow your
wad on basketball, what then?Copy !req
312. Get over here, missy.
You need to learn this.Copy !req
313. Girl needs something
to fall back onCopy !req
314. - when boys can't hold their own.Copy !req
315. - Oh!
- Wow!Copy !req
316. - You still got it.
- Home again, home again,Copy !req
317. - jiggety-jig.Copy !req
318. - I don't feel
good about this.
- Oh. Come on, baby.Copy !req
319. Hush up, hush up.Copy !req
320. He loved this pool so muchCopy !req
321. that he would drop his drawersCopy !req
322. before we even got
the gate open!Copy !req
323. And then, he would take offCopy !req
324. across the lawn,Copy !req
325. trying to beat the Rottweilers
who were chasingCopy !req
326. his little ding-a-ling
the whole way, like a...Copy !req
327. - ... rabbit at the track!Copy !req
328. You see that? One false move,Copy !req
329. and then you wouldn't
be here!Copy !req
330. It was really scary.Copy !req
331. - Man, you two had a lot of fun.
- Mm, yeah.Copy !req
332. Being poor is a blast
until it's time to eat.Copy !req
333. Oh, we ate just fine.Copy !req
334. When he didn't tip the grift.Copy !req
335. He had this, this...Copy !req
336. uh, this left eyebrow of hisCopy !req
337. that just twitched like crazy
whenever he was bluffing.Copy !req
338. He had no,
no poker face whatsoever.Copy !req
339. You should know that.Copy !req
340. Giving away all my secrets.Copy !req
341. Well, I never played, so...Copy !req
342. What?Copy !req
343. What kind of father are you?Copy !req
344. A good one that doesn't teach
his children how to gamble!Copy !req
345. Wait,
you have never taught herCopy !req
346. to play a single hand of cards?Copy !req
347. Only Monopoly.Copy !req
348. - You know what? You just
didn't wanna lose your shirt.
- Yeah.Copy !req
349. Buss women,Copy !req
350. we have cards in the blood.Copy !req
351. - I should point outCopy !req
352. that it was you that
stopped playing with me.Copy !req
353. Breaks my heart to see you cry.Copy !req
354. - Right.Copy !req
355. Well, Dad, I mean, don't you
have a deck with you?Copy !req
356. Huh?Copy !req
357. Alright, well...
are you chicken?Copy !req
358. - Them's fighting words, kiddo!Copy !req
359. - I got 'em right here!
Oh no, no, no.Copy !req
360. I love playing cards
with peopleCopy !req
361. that don't know how to play.
Trust me.Copy !req
362. No, I think you're afraid.Copy !req
363. - Come on, deal 'em out.
- What do you want?Copy !req
364. - Play Texas Hold 'Em.
- Okay, Texas Hold 'Em.
You got it.Copy !req
365. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
I want to cut those.Copy !req
366. He's proud of you.Copy !req
367. I know.Copy !req
368. No, you don't knowCopy !req
369. because he's lousy
at showing it.Copy !req
370. He learned that from his mother.Copy !req
371. But, he is.Copy !req
372. There's this job.Copy !req
373. And I know I can do it.Copy !req
374. I know I'd be great at it.Copy !req
375. I want it.Copy !req
376. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
377. Well, he just needs my
help right now with, um...Copy !req
378. Me.Copy !req
379. Wow.Copy !req
380. I don't think you'll have
to wait too long.Copy !req
381. Don't talk like that, okay?Copy !req
382. Don't let him make excuses.Copy !req
383. I have given
my whole life to men.Copy !req
384. Fathers, husbands, sons.Copy !req
385. Has its upsides.Copy !req
386. It's hard to be out there
all on your own.Copy !req
387. I fell on my ass a few times.Copy !req
388. I gave up.Copy !req
389. But, you're better than me.Copy !req
390. You're a good girl, Jeanie.Copy !req
391. Don't be too good.Copy !req
392. Okay then. I just want to thank
you for taking the time, Jack.Copy !req
393. All I have to give these days.Copy !req
394. Until you give
my whistle back to me.Copy !req
395. It's not my call.Copy !req
396. - Just lending a hand.
- But, uh...Copy !req
397. You, you will be having
a word with Buss?Copy !req
398. I'm telling you

402. I know I'm supposed
to be fucking retired,Copy !req
403. but he's got me out here
untangling his fucking knots.Copy !req
404. Hm...Copy !req
405. You remember the way out,
don't you?Copy !req
406. Oh, you bet.Copy !req
407. Uh, I didn't get hit

408. Thanks, Jerry,
I'll see you soon.Copy !req
409. He'll be putting in a word.Copy !req
410. Goddamn it, Jack. You pushed.Copy !req

417. It's right there, man.Copy !req
418. R-right.Copy !req
419. Hm.Copy !req
420. Sure you don't want
some hair of the dog?Copy !req
421. - That might go down well.Copy !req
422. Good morning.Copy !req
423. - Where's all my money at?Copy !req
424. Some night.Copy !req
425. Yeah, just like
old times.Copy !req
426. Yep.Copy !req
427. You still...Copy !req
428. pass out first.Copy !req
429. Well,Copy !req
430. Mr. Seagram's
had his way with me.Copy !req
431. Oh. You two...Copy !req
432. go back without me.Copy !req
433. I'll just... die hereCopy !req
434. - and haunt the place.Copy !req
435. How about you
live here instead?Copy !req
436. You know, the offer stands.
I can get this place
on the cheap.Copy !req
437. You have a habit of
following your heart.Copy !req
438. - And you hate that about me.Copy !req
439. Just jealous maybe.Copy !req
440. Come here.Copy !req
441. Hm.Copy !req
442. Oh...Copy !req
443. I remember...Copy !req
444. the smile...Copy !req
445. you had on your face...Copy !req
446. first time we broke
into this place.Copy !req
447. And you laid backCopy !req
448. on the nice green grass...Copy !req
449. felt the California sun...Copy !req
450. I haven't seen that smile.Copy !req
451. Not for a very long time.Copy !req
452. Well, you stick around
to see us win this thing,Copy !req
453. you can see it then.Copy !req
454. You promise?Copy !req
455. Jean-bean.Copy !req
456. - Good morning.
- You ready?Copy !req
457. Because, you know, if my bossCopy !req
458. finds out that I was arrested,Copy !req
459. I think I might get fired.Copy !req
460. Alright.Copy !req
461. Come on, Mom. Let's go.Copy !req
462. Ma. Is she sleeping?Copy !req
463. Ma, we gotta go.Copy !req
464. Ma?Copy !req
465. Ma?Copy !req
466. Hey. Hey, Ma?Copy !req
467. Oh no. Shit.Copy !req
468. Sh— Ma?Copy !req
469. - Dad?
- Ma, can you hear me?Copy !req
470. - Get my— Get the keys out
of my jacket. Start the car!
- Okay!Copy !req
471. Ma, can you hear me?Copy !req
472. Ma?Copy !req
473. Oh fuck, come on!Copy !req
474. Got your fucking pros,
got cons, fucking coaches.Copy !req
475. You get shit-store Shakespeare
on the one hand,Copy !req
476. and a limping fucking
Napoleon on the other.Copy !req
477. Fuck am I supposed
to do with that?Copy !req
478. Fuck.Copy !req
479. He can't really be
thinking aboutCopy !req
480. giving the team
back to McKinney.
Fucking ridiculous.Copy !req
481. Maurice found him
sitting on his assCopy !req
482. like some fucking kid
who lost his mommy.Copy !req
483. Yeah.Copy !req
484. I noticed it with his
memory back in Philly.Copy !req
485. I just figured
he was better now.Copy !req
486. Well, he's not.
Not by a long shot.Copy !req
487. And if we don't speak up,Copy !req
488. he'll be having a conniption
in the finals.Copy !req
489. On the sidelines with our team.Copy !req
490. Well, I can't.Copy !req
491. Why not?Copy !req
492. Because my best friend
in the worldCopy !req
493. may never talk to me again.
But at least...Copy !req
494. right now, I can still
look into the mirrorCopy !req
495. and know that all we
ever did was do our job.Copy !req
496. That's what this is.Copy !req
497. Our job.
This squad.Copy !req
498. The guys who work
their hearts out.Copy !req
499. This is their life, too.Copy !req
500. I'll do it.Copy !req
501. I tell West what happened.
What he does with it,Copy !req
502. that's up to him.Copy !req
503. Hands clean. Hm?Copy !req
504. - Pat... Pat.Copy !req
505. Fuck.Copy !req
506. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.Copy !req
507. - Well, I can't.
- Thank God.Copy !req
508. - We did everything right.
That ought to be enough.
- We did.Copy !req
509. - It should be.
- I mean, if they'reCopy !req
510. too fucking blind
to see it, fuck 'em.Copy !req
511. Fuck West, fuck Buss.Copy !req
512. Fuck 'em all.Copy !req
513. Fuck me.Copy !req
514. It's looking like
a hemorrhagic stroke.Copy !req
515. We've got her on medication
to slow the bleedingCopy !req
516. and to relieve pressure
on her brain, but,Copy !req
517. right now, the machines
are breathing for her.Copy !req
518. What can we do?Copy !req
519. Keep her comfortable.Copy !req
520. As long as you decide.Copy !req
521. I wouldn't miss—Copy !req
522. Come on. Let's sit down.Copy !req
523. Last game of the regular
season for these Lakers,Copy !req
524. and, right now,
everything is gravy.Copy !req
525. A win tonight locks in
the top seed in the WestCopy !req
526. as they head into
their playoff run.Copy !req
527. - Jerry.
- Bill.Copy !req
528. You hear about
the boss' mother?Copy !req
529. Some fuckin' timing.Copy !req
530. Well, thanks for helping
with the big decision.Copy !req
531. You look good in
the front office.Copy !req
532. Might consider that.Copy !req
533. Feels more like I'm sitting
in a hangman's chair.Copy !req
534. Winner gets a shot at the title.Copy !req
535. Loser gets the pain in the neck.Copy !req
536. What the fuck are we
doing this for, Bill, really?Copy !req
537. You know, I graduated
high school on a Monday,Copy !req
538. married my sweetheart
on Tuesday,Copy !req
539. and I shipped out to
the Navy on Wednesday night.Copy !req
540. Spent the next two years
on a boat in the Pacific.Copy !req
541. And once a week,Copy !req
542. the Armed Forces Network
would put a... a game on.Copy !req
543. One game.
You know, baseball,
basketball, jai alai.Copy !req
544. It didn't matter.
We'd all crowd
into the barracks.Copy !req
545. Just a bunch of kids,Copy !req
546. playing hide-and-seek
with death.Copy !req
547. I used to wonder, you know,
in the face of all that...Copy !req
548. how any of us can think
about a fucking game.Copy !req
549. It's a good question.Copy !req
550. But then, it hit me.Copy !req
551. How can you not?Copy !req
552. - Yeah?Copy !req
553. How is she?Copy !req
554. Oh, I'm, I'm sorry, Jerry.Copy !req
555. Yeah. It's alright.
Come on in.Copy !req
556. Appreciate you coming by.Copy !req
557. I brought you these.Copy !req
558. - You know, it's...Copy !req
559. It's not a good time,
I can always come back and...Copy !req
560. Well, that depends.Copy !req
561. Are they gonna
postpone the playoffs?Copy !req
562. Probably not, no.Copy !req
563. So, there's no time
like the present.Copy !req
564. Who is my coach, Jerry?Copy !req
565. Well, I thought about it.Copy !req
566. I did. I spoke to
everyone involved,Copy !req
567. and I feel strongly that...Copy !req
568. I'm damn lucky I'm not you.Copy !req
569. - No. There is no
right answer here.Copy !req
570. There's no wrong one either,
and you could be a hero or heel.Copy !req
571. I'll be fucking damned
if I or anyone else
can fault you on that.Copy !req
572. Whichever way you go.Copy !req
573. And you can quote me on that.Copy !req
574. When did I become
the executioner?Copy !req
575. Don't I have employees for that?Copy !req
576. Well, if it's any
consolation, you'll, uh,Copy !req
577. you'll be giving one of
these two the gift of life.Copy !req
578. Unless, of course,
they crap out and lose itCopy !req
579. to the fucking Celtics,
in which case,Copy !req
580. - I'll kill him myself.
- Come on, Jerry.Copy !req
581. - You're not even
gonna give me a hint?
- Oh...Copy !req
582. I know you're
thinking something!Copy !req
583. What got you this far?Copy !req
584. Yeah, you're richer than I am.Copy !req
585. You must have a gut.Copy !req
586. An instinct. Huh?Copy !req
587. - I followed my heart.
- There you go.Copy !req
588. Which way is it
beating this time?Copy !req
589. - Jack?
- What?Copy !req
590. - Where do we live?
- Huh?Copy !req
591. I said, where do we live?
Our address.Copy !req
592. Or do you forget?Copy !req
593. We lived here about half a year.
You need a hint?Copy !req
594. I found this in your pocket.Copy !req
595. It's a phone book page.Copy !req
596. - Fucking phone book page.
- I-I went for a jog—Copy !req
597. - Because you can't
remember where we live.
- I got turned aroundCopy !req
598. - because this goddamn town
doesn't make any sense.
- You can't remember...Copy !req
599. Are you really going
through my goddamn pockets,
now, Cranny?Copy !req
600. You're not even gonna tell me.
You're pushing it too hard!Copy !req
601. - I'm not stepping back,
Cranny. Not now.
- Jack...Copy !req
602. I'm too young to spend
the rest of my lifeCopy !req
603. wiping dribble off your chin!Copy !req
604. I think you like me being sick.Copy !req
605. - I think you liked me needing
you for once, an invalid.
- For once?Copy !req
606. Let me do my work!Copy !req
607. Get out, just let me do my—Copy !req
608. Who packed the boxes?Copy !req
609. Every time you get a job,
who has to tell the boysCopy !req
610. and break their heartsCopy !req
611. while Daddy gets
to stay the hero? Huh?Copy !req
612. - Cranny...
- I sat upCopy !req
613. every night in that hospital,Copy !req
614. so I could pound your chestCopy !req
615. every time your
heart stopped beating.
I did that.Copy !req
616. Yeah, I did that!Copy !req
617. And I didn't do it for
the fucking LA Lakers!Copy !req
618. For once! Fucking idiot.Copy !req
619. - Cranny...Copy !req
620. Can I help you?Copy !req
621. Special delivery
for Jack McKinney.Copy !req
622. Cranny!Copy !req
623. Can you come sign
for this, please?Copy !req
624. - Sorry. Hang on just a sec.Copy !req
625. - Jack...
- She'll be right here.Copy !req
626. Cranny!Copy !req
627. Can you sign for this guy?Copy !req
628. Dr. Buss.Copy !req
629. This guy,Copy !req
630. acting like he don't
recognize me.Copy !req
631. Always messing around.
What a kidder.Copy !req
632. - Here, I'll get us some glasses.Copy !req
633. Oh no, no. That's for you two.Copy !req
634. You drink in good health.
I got to run.Copy !req
635. I just came by to drop that off.
But, give my girl a call,Copy !req
636. come by in the morning,
and we'll sit down, we'll...Copy !req
637. work out this whole thing.
You know?Copy !req
638. You're looking good, Jack!
Good to see you.Copy !req
639. No bike ridin'!Copy !req
640. Fuck.Copy !req
641. It's the right call.Copy !req
642. Shut the blinds in there.Copy !req
643. Fuck. Bill's in there.Copy !req
644. They're going with McKinney.
I fucking knew it.Copy !req
645. - Okay.
- Fuck.Copy !req
646. - What? What? What?Copy !req
647. - Hey.
- Man...Copy !req
648. Can you get us to
the Promised Land?Copy !req
649. Of course, yeah.Copy !req
650. If there's no, uh,
bad blood with Jack,Copy !req
651. - we can stay on
and help him out.
- No.Copy !req
652. Not with Jack.Copy !req
653. We got it.Copy !req
654. - We got it.Copy !req
655. Yes.Copy !req
656. Absolutely.Copy !req
657. Don't fuck it up.Copy !req
658. Nixon blazing down the courtCopy !req
659. looking for an open man,
and there it is,Copy !req
660. the lob to Cooper.
Shazam!Copy !req
661. Just beautiful.Copy !req
662. Lakers besting the Suns
in this best of sevenCopy !req
663. and it's been
all Lakers so far, kids.Copy !req
664. Lakers on the run.
Magic, beautiful pass
to Nixon! Oh my!Copy !req
665. Oh, showtime, folks!Copy !req
666. To Cooper. Slam dunk!
Just gorgeous.Copy !req
667. Remarkable passing
by the Lakers.Copy !req
668. Ha, ha!Copy !req
669. And the Lakers ran away
with this conference semi,Copy !req
670. a rematch with SeattleCopy !req
671. the only thing
standing in their wayCopy !req
672. for a trip to the NBA finals.Copy !req
673. Love you.Copy !req
674. Bye-bye. Love you!Copy !req
675. God, she is pretty.Copy !req
676. Spencer.Copy !req
677. Magic passes to Kareem.Copy !req
678. He's pivoting,
looking for an opening.Copy !req
679. Gets some help from
Haywood with a pick.Copy !req
680. And he lays it in.
Snug as a bug in a rug.Copy !req
681. And the Los Angeles Lakers
now moments awayCopy !req
682. from avenging their
playoff loss last yearCopy !req
683. against the SuperSonics.Copy !req
684. Boy, the fans here
can taste victory,Copy !req
685. and it sure tastes sweet.Copy !req
686. Seven! Six!Copy !req
687. Five! Four!Copy !req
688. Three! Two! One!Copy !req
689. - And it's all over,
folks!Copy !req
690. Your Los Angeles Lakers
are the new
Western Conference Champs,Copy !req
691. behind 38 points by
the captain, Kareem.Copy !req
692. Now, all they have
to do is sit backCopy !req
693. and wait for a date
with the doctor.Copy !req
694. All we care about is that
the boys in Forum BlueCopy !req
695. will be there,
and look at 'em celebrating.Copy !req
696. Boy, they sure have earned it.Copy !req
697. You made me believe, baby.
You made me believe.Copy !req
698. And look at Magic out there,
smile shiningCopy !req
699. like the North Star,
and Dr. Buss,
our other rookie,Copy !req
700. must be somewhere
beaming just as bright.Copy !req
701. There it is. Philly puts
this one over the top.Copy !req
702. And folks dreaming
of a Boston-LA finalsCopy !req
703. will have to wait another year.Copy !req
704. - The 76ers have...
Here we go, fellas.Copy !req
705. Philly it is.Copy !req
706. Man, I wanted Boston.Copy !req
707. Then you a dumb-ass.Copy !req
708. right here on CBS.Copy !req
709. The Celtics have
the best recordCopy !req
710. of any team
in the league...Copy !req
711. Same time next year, asshole.Copy !req
712. You know it.Copy !req
713. And young Larry Bird may beCopy !req
714. disappointed by the outcome,Copy !req
715. but after watching his
performance in this series,Copy !req
716. he gets my vote
for Rookie of the Year.Copy !req
717. Bird led scoring
through the playoffs...Copy !req
718. We win it all,
you'll get your due.Copy !req
719. far beyond his age.Copy !req
720. Hey, Cap?Copy !req
721. We got a situation.Copy !req
722. Spence?Copy !req
723. - What happened to you?
What's the matter?Copy !req
724. I fucked up...Copy !req
725. Just... I fucked up, Cap...Copy !req
726. I'm sorry...Copy !req
727. I fucked up...Copy !req
728. Okay. It's okay...Copy !req
729. I fucked up...Copy !req
730. I'm sorry...
- Aw, fuck.Copy !req
731. Goddammit, man.Copy !req
732. Man, I can't watch this shit.Copy !req
733. There's an institute
in Arizona.Copy !req
734. They specialize in something
called aversion therapy.Copy !req
735. Spencer would admit
himself after the season.Copy !req
736. He's promised me he'll
keep clean through the finals.Copy !req
737. If you let him stay.Copy !req
738. Look, he's our one true four.Copy !req
739. Alright, if we lose him,Copy !req
740. that's gonna put a whole
lot on Cap down low.Copy !req
741. We gonna need him
in the paint.Copy !req
742. Them Twin Towers they got,
Dawkins, Jones.Copy !req
743. - Leave them to Chones.
The brother has a problem.Copy !req
744. Can't just throw
him to the wolves.Copy !req
745. Maybe somebody can just
keep an eye on him.Copy !req
746. This is the pros,
not daycare.Copy !req
747. Look, Wood's only problemCopy !req
748. is that he's a selfish
motherfucker.Copy !req
749. All that African brother
Hotep bullshit?Copy !req
750. Look, bottom line,
dude's not strong.
He's weak.Copy !req
751. And if we let this
motherfucker stay on the team,Copy !req
752. then the rest of us
is weak, too.Copy !req
753. And you, Buck?Copy !req
754. I wanna win a ring.Copy !req
755. That's what matters to me.Copy !req
756. And I feel bad for dudeCopy !req
757. if he ain't ready
for what's coming.Copy !req
758. But, great man told me winning
in this league takes being hard.Copy !req
759. Listen.Copy !req
760. He's your teammate.Copy !req
761. So, this is a team call.Copy !req
762. Let's put it to a vote.Copy !req
763. All for cutting Spencer.Copy !req
764. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
765. All opposed.Copy !req
766. White folk still white folking?Copy !req
767. I just left.Copy !req
768. Hm...Copy !req
769. You ever been to Mississippi?Copy !req
770. - Never.
- No?Copy !req
771. I came up there.Copy !req
772. Family of field hands.Copy !req
773. They call it sharecropping,Copy !req
774. but if there's a difference
between it and slavery,Copy !req
775. I ain't see it.Copy !req
776. I was born in a barn,Copy !req
777. on the same dirt...Copy !req
778. as the pigs and chickens.Copy !req
779. The only thing that separated
us from them was...Copy !req
780. these right here.Copy !req
781. Extra bone in each finger.Copy !req
782. My Auntie HarrietCopy !req
783. seen 'em and went, "Wow."
Touching them, said, uh,Copy !req
784. "That boy is blessed.
That boy gonna do some...Copy !req
785. That boy gonna do
some great things."Copy !req
786. But, along come...Copy !req
787. old man Quinn. Field boss.Copy !req
788. High yellow nigga.Copy !req
789. Quick sight, you'd
think he a-a cracker.Copy !req
790. But, he worse than one of 'em.Copy !req
791. Used to whistle with
his pinkies in his mouth.Copy !req
792. And just like that,
our backs was bent.Copy !req
793. Shit, I think
the first real soundCopy !req
794. I ever heard was a whistle.Copy !req
795. So, he seen my mama
and my auntieCopy !req
796. fussing over this
little newborn childCopy !req
797. with these fancy little
hands, and took to him.Copy !req
798. He knew better.Copy !req
799. "Hoo, that boy got
some long fingers!Copy !req
800. "Oo-hoo-hoo-wee!Copy !req
801. "He gonna make a special...Copy !req
802. cotton picker."Copy !req
803. Hm.Copy !req
804. My mama used to
tell us that story.Copy !req
805. Without— Without
skipping a breath, say,Copy !req
806. "God love us."Copy !req
807. Now, it took me...Copy !req
808. some yearsCopy !req
809. to muster up
the gumption to ask...Copy !req
810. "Why...Copy !req
811. "are we on the bottom then?Copy !req
812. "Everywhere you see
a brown face,Copy !req
813. "you see tears on it.Copy !req
814. If He love us so damn much,
then why?"Copy !req
815. And you know what she said?Copy !req
816. "God loves them more."Copy !req
817. Yeah, I don't know if
it's— if there's a God,Copy !req
818. I don't know.
But I do know there's a them.Copy !req
819. Same ones in that room
right now, deciding my fate!Copy !req
820. So, I guess I'll just
wait for the whistle.Copy !req
821. This time,
they left it up to us.Copy !req
822. The team already voted on it.Copy !req
823. Damn!Copy !req
824. Damn! Damn it. Damn!Copy !req
825. You did your best.Copy !req
