He Got Game (1998) Edit

A baby's going to hurt my chance of going to college.

A female friend, and I'd like to take her someplace other than Nathan's.

A little bit of information. I need something anything.

A lot of reasons.

A quarter million dollar Lamborghini Diablo.

Aah!

Aah!

About my plan?

About to graduate, you can't even read, dumb ass.

Acid. We got the nicotine for you.

Ah. Well, I told you my first name was Jake,

Ahh, ohh What's that sound

Ahh, ohh, what's that sound

Ahh, ohh, what's that sound

Ain't exactly clear

Ain't nobody did a motherfucking thing.

All he wants to do is talk to you for five minutes, see where your head is at.

All I'm asking is that you let me wet my beak a little bit.

All of a sudden they have a religious experience? They find Jesus, all right.

All right, all right. Just let me go back to sleep, okay?

All right, Boo?

All right, I'm, uh

All right, Jake. You don't have to get defensive.

All right, Jesus, let me ask you a question.

All right, Sweetness. Here we go, baby.

All right, we gon' cut out all that lucky shit.

All right?

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. I'm sorry. You want some of this here?

All right. Look, I need to talk to you.

All right. Since you too scared to play me, can we talk for a moment?

All right. Tell you what.

All right. That's good. One out of ten, that's

All right. Well, cool.

All right. Well, hey, look.

All right. Why you allow Sweetness...

All that good ass. How you going to be immune to that thigh?

All these people around here, half these people aren't going to college.

All these schools calling, we need to just get another unlisted number.

All they got to do is make you mad and you'll give up, won't you?

All they want to do is dunk and you know, everything like that.

All those kids don't mean shit! I'm raising you, nobody else!

All those lips, all those hips? All those honey dips?

All you ever talk about is Jordan this, Jordan that.

Amongst the themes controlled by the screens

And all of the pitfalls that come with being in a deprived situation.

And be real for a minute.

And don't forget about the alcohol, baby.

And don't think I don't know about that D'Andre kid either.

And he always says he's sorry.

And he's falling back, and you just J right in his face.

And I didn't even mention the bloodsucking leeches.

And I do believe that God has shown me the way.

And I prayed to God.

And I'd appreciate it if you don't ever walk through that door ever again.

And I'm just going to... you know, do whatever.

And in a situation that's void of any kind of leadership other than his own,

And it's time for you to go. And put the bread back down.

And lots of trees and even a swimming pool in the back.

And star in commercials and make mad loot.

And that I had no problems or no worries?

And that is being able to be a triple threat.

And that's good.

And that's scary Like lies buried in a library

And the crowd goes wild.

And then you look at him, and then you say, What?

And these basketball wars between you and your father have got to stop.

And this is his last visit to any schools.

And we will see you tomorrow.

And when we find you, we will shoot you dead.

And when will that be, Warden?

And when you get home, please be nice to her.

And who's underpaid that got fouled at the basket

And why shouldn't I get paid, huh?

And why you let him though?

And you got the cocaine, heroin, crack cocaine.

And you know what? You're my coach, right? I mean, I don't mind.

And you're in it with them. You're in cahoots with D'Andre and Dom.

And, Jesus, that watch is a gift from Dom Pagnotti to you.

And, uh, got a daughter named Mary.

And, uh, I got two children.

And, uh...

And, uh... I love her very much.

And, you know, ever since day one, she wouldn't let me play basketball.

And, you know, I deserved it. It keeps me in line.

And, you know, Mommy, she wanted you to go to college.

And... it would mean a lot to me.

Any shenanigans, the deal is off.

Anyway, there's this guy that I know that I want you to meet.

Anyway, uh, l, uh...

Are you okay?

Are you out of your mind?

Are you, like, religious or something?

As you already know, this will be the most important decision...

As you already know, you've picked the perfect recreation.

At least I can admit it.

At least I still got my teeth.

At this point in time, I can't tell you who,

Aw, shit!

Aww.

Baby, I love you You having a good time?

Baby, wake up. Call 9 1 1, son.

Back in the day, he could play some ball, yeah.

Ball belonged to me, not to him.

Ball up.

Basketball is like poetry in motion.

Basketball's the birthplace of all of my dreams,

Be a dissident who ain't kissing it

Beaucoup game in the first quarter alone.

Because I'm too young. I cannot wait until I'm 18.

Because men make decisions with their mind.

Because of what he's overcome in his life.

Because, of course, she passed.

Before that game, with 42 points a game the whole season.

Before you go now, I want you to use some of my John the Conqueror root.

Behind the game behind the game

But he knows how to pass. He plays with his teammates.

But I will tell you they are contenders.

But I would tell him that he needs to go to college and get an education...

But I'm the only one here who really, really cares about Jesus.

But most of them didn't amount to shit.

But several NBA teams are interested in you right now.

But the governor got what he wanted.

But under the circumstances my family and I have chosen to be alone.

But we can't trust in your abilities as an actor.

But we just here to let you all know that P.E. is in full effect...

But what you need to do, Jesus, is give me the opportunity...

But you get that hatred out your heart, boy,

But you got any idea where you're going to go with this thing?

But you just have a good time with all of them.

But, Jesus, I miss him so, so much.

But, shit, that don't mean shit to these ******s 'round here; put a cap in your ass.

But, son, your father does love you dearly.

Hating Satan never knew what nice is

Have fun at the camp, and remember

He ain't my father, all right?

He asked me if I want to go house shopping with him.

He brought it behind his back and switched it over to his right hand.

He can defend. He can run. He can finish.

He can't just be Jesus. He got to be Black Jesus.

He can't play you. He can't do nothing with you!

He does not speak for me! You do what you feel is right.

He doesn't consider himself to be a faggot.

He gives me a tingle, and I think that's what Jesus does.

He had escaped the maximum security Attica State Penitentiary...

He is better than good, Daddy. You should see him play.

He kept going. He's almost getting the rim now, or the net, anyway the net.

He knows.

He likes to play in a crowd, and he can pass the basketball.

He makes people better. He's the real thing.

He makes you excited to watch him.

He played himself four years, varsity, at Big State.

He plays to win, and a lot of people play to play.

He say what this is about?

He says he wants to speak to me. He says it's urgent.

He tells me to get you, so I get you.

He think 'cause he got that ball skill, he going up in the N.B.A., he immune.

He told Mary that he was out on a work release program or something.

He understands that if he performs better, they are going to win.

He was coming down for a fast break, and the defender went for the ball.

He was like

He'll do everything in his power to...

He's a friend of the family. His name is D'Andre Mackey.

He's a high riser!

He's a zillion times better than when you last saw him.

He's able to do some of the things that most coaches talk about,

He's also never forgiven anyone who's done him wrong.

He's always singing.

He's cheating, Jesus.

He's down whenever you want to meet.

He's got a great reputation for never forgetting anyone who's done right by him.

He's had to be very, very self reliant.

He's not going to be here much longer.

He's so nervous.

He's stressing you out, I see.

He's supposed to be bossy and everything like that.

He's supposed to be, taking care of his little sister.

He's the next phenom! He's awesome, baby, with a capital A!

I ain't got no more time to be trying to beg your forgiveness or nothing,

I ain't got nothing to say, Coach.

I ain't like everybody else. Everybody else ain't your father.

I ain't too old to have dreams. Is that what you think?

I already know what you're about to say.

I am tired of people telling me that I'm not old enough.

I bet he can finally beat you.

I came to this court by myself. Why you got to follow me?

I can bring you to the Promised Land,

I can count. That's one.

I can handle my own business, all right?

I can live with them odds.

I can't believe that bitch did me like this.

I can't believe this. I really can't.

I can't blame the M.V. who be getting all the Benjies

I can't do that right now. I have to weigh my options.

I could take you out your game that easy, huh?

I didn't even know they had basketball camps.

I didn't say I believed it. I just said that that's what people are saying.

I didn't teach you that, though, did l?

I don't even want to know who you got it from either.

I don't know about all men, but I don't even think like that.

I don't know if I should. I could get in trouble.

I don't know yet. I have to weigh my options.

I don't know, Lala.

I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, they're all the same,

I don't know. I was dreaming.

I don't know. I'm usually around.

I don't remember where he was saying he was going 'cause I was half asleep.

I don't see anyone here. Just me and you.

I don't want no trouble, my man.

I don't want you getting into any more trouble. I know it wasn't your fault.

I don't want you to lose track of time. You see, we're on a tight schedule.

I don't want you to lose track of time. You see, we're on a tight schedule.

I ever bring that up?

I feel handsome when I'm on the court. I feel like I'm somebody.

I feel you need to involve us more in your life.

I give you that.

I go back to Attica, 'cause I know that's what you really want. Right?

I got Calculus.

I got down on my knees, and I asked God...

I got down... on my hands and knees...

I got even less time, so I'm going to make it real quick.

I got game She got game

I guess that's a requirement of the job, huh? Right?

I had no idea that

I have seen that movie many a time.

I have the contacts. So apply for the NBA draft now.

I have to meet him. We'll talk about this tomorrow. See you later, Mary.

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting your son as yet. I can't speculate.

I hear what you say, but if everybody's saying the same thing, it's got to be true.

I hope that Chick here has been a gracious host.

I hope this rhyme gets you in time in space, come to a different place

I hope you don't think we're too forward or aggressive with the highlight film...

I hope you're not looking to buy no plane, train or bus ticket out of here.

I just asked your son where you were.

I just asked your son where you were.

I just feel comfortable with a brother.

I just want to feel you inside of me...

I just want you to know I don't do drugs. I'm clean.

I just want you to know what the tick tock is.

I keep telling y'all, stop fucking with me.

I know he drives you too hard.

I know how you feel, son, but the fact remains he is your daddy.

I know you ain't been out messing around with them little boys.

I know you didn't mean it.

I know you grew What, a couple, three inches?

I know you know how to spell that, don't you?

I know. Just can't wait 'til next season when you're going to school here.

I like talking to you and all, but don't let that fool you, you know.

I like you, you know, uh, fa uh, Dakota.

I love him. He loves me.

I love them, but they make you work too hard, man.

I loved her more than life itself.

I made a promise to your mother that if anything ever happened to her,

I mean, I just want the best for both of us.

I mean, is that like a finalist, or the final four for you?

I mean, it was just It's off the hook.

I never thought about it like that.

I overpower the mic Hit the crowd with the bomb diggy

I play the two spot.

I ran a neighbourhood center.

I read all about you, everything like that, and, uh

I refuse to let Mary grow up in the same apartment with Uncle Bubba.

I said hello. That's about it.

I said to myself, That's the kind of young man...

I still got a ways to go, and, uh...

I still got dreams. I got plans too. Big plans.

I talk too much. That's what Sweetness always says.

I tell people my whole life history and I don't even know a thing about them.

I think I'll go around again.

I think it would just be a sin that...

I think it's only right that we be compensated for sacrifices...

I think me and you, we suffer from the same affliction. I swear to God.

I think that, uh... I can help you.

I think when April 11th comes, I just want to let my hair down,

I think you heard what she's saying.

I think you need to go and talk to your father.

I thought maybe you need some help, or something like that.

I thought you lifted weights in Attica, in the joint. Huh?

I told him I'd be here at the Garden.

I told them nobody can tell Jesus what to do, but they fucking insisted.

I told you I ain't taking it easy on you. Where you at, boy?

I tore them up too.

I want this inmate quarantined immediately.

I want to feel you inside of me, papi.

I want to go eat.

I want to show you my court.

I'm happy for him. Why do you think my son did it?

I'm his number one money maker. I'm his bottom bitch.

I'm John Chaney from Temple University.

I'm just hoping that you ain't compromising yourself, son.

I'm just saying that there's a reason and I can at least admit it.

I'm not asking you to commit a homicide here. I'm asking you to just give me...

I'm not fucking with no agents, Lala.

I'm sorry. I apologize for putting my hands on you, okay?

I'm teaching, brother. I'm teaching, son, like I always taught you.

I'm the bomb. I'm the bomb. Say it. I'm the bomb.

I'm too young. You're too young. We ain't ready for nothing like this.

I'm turning the meter off.

I've done a lot of praying and have asked for guidance from above.

If anybody sees me in this car, that's my ass.

If I hear you talking like that again, I'll kill you myself!

If it don't matter, then why are you stressing?

If man is the father the son is the center of the Earth

If man is the father the son is the center of the earth

If my mother ever saw me with a white bitch, she'd spin in her grave.

If necessary, these men have been given a green light to shoot.

If that's something that we as coaches have used for many years dribble, pass and shoot.

If they were stupid enough to give me money...

If those were really your friends, they wouldn't be filling your head with bullshit.

If we work together, we can both get what we want. You know what I'm saying?

If you somewhat sure Hip hop's like a chess game

If you would've been on time, there would've been no need to run.

If you're immature then you live in sinister

If your braings insane then stick to your deals

In closing, my family and I send our prayers out to my father.

In here there's some money. Get some clothing.

In my line of work, last names aren't needed.

In terms of dealing with his sister,

In the eyes of the law, you are still a convicted felon.

In the middle of the universe

In the middle of the universe

In the State.

In the whole entire world.

In these United States of America?

In this field it ain't about selling a mil wit' the run of the mill

In this house of ill repute.

Invite her up for one of them grilled cheese sandwiches and orange soda.

Is a platinum and diamond Rolex.

Is that going to bring your mother back?

Is the foresight of his parents...

Is this guy going to mean any trouble?

It don't come off, son.

It made me want to cry.

It means you got a head like concrete.

It might feel good It might sound a little something

It might feel good It might sound a little something

It might feel good It might sound a little something

It might feel good It might sound a little something

It might feel good It might sound a little something

It might sound a little something

It was only to get you to that next level, son.

It went through his legs.

It'll make me feel good again, all right?

It's a letter of intent for your son to sign. Take it.

It's a long time, you know?

It's all the film thing, baby. It's all the film thing.

It's arthritis.

It's been a long time.

It's between you and the rim.

It's just five minutes of your time before you make your decision.

It's just that I could... get in trouble.

It's like 1:00 a.m. I'm really sorry it's so late,

It's me, baby. It's Lala.

It's my job to convince him.

It's not over 'til it's over, 'til the fat lady sings.

It's okay.

It's open.

It's registered in my name, but it's for you.

It's time for you to get to stepping.

It's time we stopped, children What's that sound

It's time we stopped, children What's that sound

It's your ball.

It's yours. Don't be afraid of it. Take it.

It's, uh it's a little package to help you...

J J, come on, give the guy a break, man.

Jake Shuttlesworth...

Jesus, we're family.

Jesus, you have no problems.

Jesus, you off the phone yet?

Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus. That's what they called him Jesus. 'Cause he was the truth.

Jim Faen from Mount Saint Mary's used to say,

Just 'cause a man bigger than you, don't mean he better than you.

Just because I'm an Italian American doesn't mean I'm involved with the mob.

Just coming down the court, you got a defender in your way.

Just for you, black man.

Just give that to Mary.

Just go hang out with my boys back in high school:

Just in case you get any smart ideas, we will track you down.

Just like everybody else.

Just like this here.

Just on G.P. That's on the strength. So you got to watch your back.

Just play the game?

Keep your hands still. There you go.

Kick my feet up and have a good time.

Kid, on the court, you're the most coachable kid I ever had.

L can't get pregnant, papi.

L thought it might be a little hard for you...

Lala Bonilla.

Lala played herself, that's what she did.

Last I checked pyramids wasn't built like projects

Let's go, Boog!

Let's go, Doc! Hurry up.

Let's go, Shuttlesworth!

Let's go. Show me that. Oh, good!

Like I said, son, you need to talk to your daddy, see what he has to say.

Like that girl you running with. You know her, Lay Layla?

Like welfare In these rappers' lyrics they need health care

Like you mean it or something?

Like your father.

Lincoln! Linc Linc Linc Lincoln! Roll call!

Lines and choruses Days full of Doris's

Man, you never seen me eat my boogers.

Man!

Mary, answer me right now.

Mary, do you hear me talking to you? Don't play deaf.

Mary, what did I tell you about letting strangers in the house?

Matter of fact, I don't even know why you're here.

May God bless him.

Maybe you could stop hating me.

Me too.

Me with a white bitch?

Meaning if I do a good job, I can get out sooner than expected.

Mentally strong to keep this hit and my speech is given

Michael Jordan'll give you 35. But 40 minutes of everything he's got...

Mind your own business, man.

Miss Shuttlesworth.

Modern day thugs ain't got no guts

Money. What's that, baby?

More than your eyes can see and ears can hear

Mr. Shuttlesworth, you are now wired.

My all time favourite ballplayer was Earl Monroe.

My bad. It's my bad. You all right? You straight?

My controls ain't working. It's sticking or something.

My head is on my shoulders and going to stay there.

My mother, she won't be able to attend my graduation...

My name is Sip Rodgers.

My name's Dakota.

My short story's winning and keep the beat spinning

My sister I loved her.

My wandering got my ass wondering

Nah, he's not going to mean any trouble.

Naw, I just, you know

Naw, naw, naw. We had the continental over at the Marriott.

Naw, now he can handle it with both.

Never a word out of me. Always there for you.

No disrespect.

No matter what I say to you, I ain't got nothing to do with your game.

No matter. What does matter is Governor is a big,

No money, no cars, no job for your family?

No official word yet on how he escaped.

No poontang in five and a half years.

No, baby, come on. Don't hold back.

No, Coach, you know I wouldn't do that to you. I just don't know yet.

No, I don't think so.

No, I'm not going to tell him to shut up,

No, we're not going to follow you.

No, you ain't hear that.

No. I don't think nothing like that.

No. Nothing to be sorry about.

Nonsense perseveres Prayers laced with fear

Not as fast as I expected, but it's all going to work out; I feel that.

Not everybody's a scumbag.

Not Jesus of the Bible, Jesus of North Philadelphia.

Not the guy who's getting it up the old kazoo, but the guy who's doing it,

Not the house I'm going to get you.

Not yet.

Nothing to lose Everything approved

Now go on. Hey, man, back up!

Now listen from the beginning 'til I reach the ending

Now this is what I'm talking about. Tech dome, baby!

Now, do you consider yourself a man or a boy?

Now, I don't know if you realize this,

Now, I know you haven't fell...

Now, I know you've considered jumping straight to the pros.

Now, if you want the best, Jesus, you come right this way.

Now, introducing Number 34!

Now, let's hit them Skittles.

Now, we put out a lot of money for y'all.

Now, with kids as good as he is, he's probably receiving a lot of pressure...

Now, you rub some of this here between your wrist and your elbow, see,

Nubian sisters. Africa. The whole nine. I'm telling you, man.

Number one: You ain't on vacation.

Obviously, I'm wrong, brother. It's my mistake, uh

Of course I met women. I got introduced to everybody.

Of everything that I want to be, of everything I want to accomplish in life.

Of your life that you'll ever make.

Off the court, I can't tell you a damn thing.

Oh, and they got the other thing for you, man.

Oh, Chick has been great.

Oh, come on, man!

Oh, damn.

Oh, don't get mad. You're the one that taught me to be a good sportsman.

P.E., 1998.

P.S. Your sister misses you badly.

Paid my hard earned money for that basketball. You know that, don't you?

Pardon the expression And the governor nuts

Pay Con Ed, buy clothes, furniture with no visible means of income.

Pay rent, pay Ma Bell,

Pay whom what? You ain't got no real money anyway anyhow.

Payback is a bitch, huh?

People make mistakes. People veer off the path. So what? God forgives them.

People really do care about you.

People use Even murders excused

People use Even murders excused

People used to think she was some type of religious freak, catching the Holy Ghost.

Play ball!

Play some D now.

Please?

Plus, when we page you, you have to return our call within ten minutes...

Point game.

Point game. Just play the game.

Prayers laced with fear Beware

Pulled back and rang the three.

Pure shooter, fearsome defender, a great player.

Quiet. But, as my father told me, it's the quiet one's you have to watch.

Remember what my main man Spivey said. Don't get any in the car.

Respect my call. Besides, that wasn't a foul. That was attempted murder!

Right here, Jesus, is a contract.

Right there.

Right?

Right.

Right. My bad, my bad.

Ring the alarm Now the squad's wit' me

Running the game Chuck and Kris

Seriously consider enrolling in his alma mater, Big State.

Seven days before.

Sh shit hole.

She ain't no bitch and she ain't no 'ho. The lady's name is Dakota. Dakota.

She at home, and she ain't here.

She will attend seventh grade at a neighbouring junior high school.

She wouldn't let me play in the garden, from day one, unless I did my homework.

Shit.

Shoot.

Show me something, kid.

Show me!

Show time!

Sign of a local ****a unravelling

Since I'm going to be so rich and famous, that...

Since when do you start calling your uncle Mister?

Sip, sip, sip on this.

Sit down, Jesus. Sit down.

Sit down, son.

So

So be it.

So I figure, hey, you know, you might need some fatherly advice.

So I'll make this real simple.

So it look like you, uh look like you grew a little bit.

So it really doesn't matter.

So Jesus has led the Railsplitters...

So much money that we won't be in Coney Island no more.

So somebody gets up on you. So what?

So that he'll be able to save the money that he has.

So that's the real reason why you got your name.

So what about you?

So what do you want to do for your birthday? It's your day.

So what? Ain't nothing I can do, son, that can bring your mother back.

So who paying the rent?

So why did you let this stranger in our house?

So you ain't going to say nothing to me. Okay.

So you do know your Bible, huh?

So you in the Mafia. Down with Gotti, huh?

So you want me to talk to your pops, man?

So you want to know something about me, or not?

So, please?

So, this is it, yo? Judgement day?

So, uh, have you narrowed down your choices yet?

So, um...

So, what did he say?

Some of this right there.

Some people rate him that high, some don't.

Somebody call a stretcher.

Sometime between now and Monday morning, 10:00 a.m.

Sooner or later you gon' find a pair that fit you.

Sorry it was so last minute though.

Spivey and Crudup,

Spivey, I'm sick as a dog, man.

Stand up.

Start talking some more about you.

Stick a fork in him. He's done.

Still can't beat your pops?

Stop it! Please!

Stop pushing me.

Stop right there!

Sweetness will have my ass.

Take a shower. Wash your ass.

Take it easy, Booger. It's going to be all right.

Take that goddamn shit off.

Te amo. Jesús, te amo. Aye, qué fiebre.

Thank you, Books. You may wait outside.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you.

Thank you. I just did it. Built it from scratch.

Thanks.

That could be some dirty ass pussy. Go and knock yourself out.

That it was going to be forever and you were going to take care of me...

That way. That way.

That we would be there for the both of you.

That will be the backbone of this great country,

That you lick it all back up,

That you would never leave me, Jesus.

That's a $36,000 watch. That's like having a Corvette on your wrist.

That's all I did was talk about Lala.

That's been missing us for mad years.

That's game 11 5.

That's good, but you crossed over. You still bailed out.

That's good. How're you doing in school? You doing all right?

That's good. You want a hot dog?

That's Lala. Lala Bonilla, Jesus' lady.

That's luck too, baby.

That's not right, Chick. That's not right, Chick.

That's one of my problems, or one of my many problems.

That's one.

That's right.

That's right. Come on, come on. Work, baby.

That's right. I taught you well, son.

That's right. That's right. So since I'm on the clock,

That's six years, 23 days...

That's some hard shit, my man, you know?

That's something I didn't teach you.

That's strange. I haven't had that problem yet.

That's the best news I've heard in weeks.

That's the real reason why I'm out here.

That's the reason they let me out.

That's to deter them Coney Island Puerto Ricans from stealing your shit.

That's what I figured. Why aren't I staying down there with y'all?

That's what I keep trying to tell him.

That's where all the alumni sit, with all the money, man.

That's why he ain't going to make it.

That's why I don't like playing with your ass, son.

The best you can buy.

The better it will be for all concerned parties.

The Chosen One, the second coming, the resurrection,

The father of the number one basketball prospect Jesus Shuttlesworth...

The food is fine. Just not hungry.

The governor can do that? He can

The governor has yet to inform me.

The guy's unbelievable! He's a P.T.P., a prime time player!

The kids are smart.

The kind of deal that would enable you to get your own apartment,

The man escaped just like Shawshank.

The money is there.

The NC two A deadline for kids to declare is one week away.

The newfound family.

The politics of chains and whips

The sooner you do what you going to do,

The thought of reparation's got him playing with the population

The warden? What's this all about?

The way he dished, the way he, you know, he spinned.

The way I see it, this is better than your room at the hoosegow.

The way it was explained to me, as long as it's in my name, it's all good.

The way this goes down is simple

The whole season.

The whole shot.

The... farmhouse...

Their fundamentals is, uh is, like, sorely lacking.

Them white girls over there, man, they do your dirty drawers.

Then she's spinning. She's turning over and over and over.

Then the white media got a hold of it. Then they got to call him Black Jesus.

Then why is this verse coming six times rehearsed

Then why is this verse coming six times rehearsed

There are very few players that give you 40 minutes of everything.

There were women at this college. There are women all over the place.

There's a couple of things I think we better go over.

There's a man

There's a women's basketball team, track team. Women all over the place.

There's got to be some truth to it if it's in the papers.

There's little margin for error.

There's no free pussy around here, no freebies.

There's no strings, no rubber bands. There's nothing attached at all.

There's something happening here

These are the new Jordans.

These white freaks here at Tech U, man.

They care about themselves.

They come back to win it, and there's bedlam at the Garden.

They get caught smoking crack in the hotel with ten whores.

They got that pussy.

They got them all lined up, waiting to suck your dick.

They hurt like hell, son.

They know they don't listen to you, they end up in here with me.

They locked him up, like in a straitjacket or something.

They love some ball playing brothers, man.

They may let me out on an early parole.

They put the money in my hand with the promise of more to come.

They talking about l love you. Oh, I love you.

They think they know it all.

They're going to wake up dead in the Atlantic Ocean.

They're just trying to get over, trying to get a piece of Jesus, that's all.

They're on the inside. You got to lace them up that way.

Things didn't work out exactly as we planned,

Think of your Uncle Bubba, your Aunt Sally.

This ain't the projects, man. We got like grass and trees, and fresh air.

This allows me to represent you.

This guy plays to win.

This guy, he's leaving me now. He's right there.

This is about to be the most important decision in your life.

This is for real, right?

This is going to be the most important decision in your life.

This is going to last while you're off to college for a year?

This is Morgan. This is Monty.

This is Mr. Shuttlesworth. His key?

This is what my daddy brought up here from Mississippi.

This is your last chance.

This is your mama you're talking to. Come here, baby.

This is your money. Hey, this is yours.

This kid might be ready for the big leagues.

This makes me your agent.

This past week has been a very difficult week for me.

This right here is a 355 Ferrari Spider, $130,000.

This right here, it's a letter of intent...

This September I will be enrolled at Big State University...

This shit is all fucked up.

This shit is bogus. The boy did not go for the bucks.

This the play offs No payoffs, strictly skills

This will be the most important decision in your life.

Those high school sweethearts who get left behind.

Thought of that millennium just be killing them

Through the fast lane in the game

Throw in the towel.

Time for you to get your ass out of bed.

To be a good actress?

To go into the N.B.A. because so many kids are doing it.

To let Tech University be the throne of Jesus.

To name him appropriately as the world's greatest.

To show you how good I am.

To take that into consideration with the kind of money that they're getting now.

To use some kind of influence over you that I never possessed,

Tonight, our feature is about a biblical player

Toothpaste, deodorant, personal effects, whatever have you.

Tripping? We'll see who's tripping later on tonight.

Trying to make you the ball player that I never was.

Trying to make you the best ball player that you could possibly be,

Turn around and back up!

Turn around! Do it now, or you're a dead man!

Two of the best, handpicked by me.

Two parole officers will be assigned to you.

Two thousand.

Two triple 0 is here

Uh oh. He's heating up.

Uh, I took her life.

Uh, low self esteem. I was abused as a child.

Uh, naw, naw. Yo, uh, Borinquen, give me one of them orange joints.

Uncle Bubba even said you were going to buy him and Aunt Sally some new house in Long Island.

Uncle Bubba hasn't changed a bit.

Uncle Jake must have beat him in basketball again. Ow!

Underwear? Skittles, Daddy!

Unless you're mature, grow up

Use basketball as a tool.

Wait. You can sit on mine. I'm going to warm this one up.

Warden wants to see you now.

Was captured last night in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York...

Wash them. Cook for you.

We ain't for the fame We for the change

We all do the same things go partying, meet all the guys, go to classes.

We can all go back early, if you just...

We can always buy a new basketball.

We don't give a shit about you, or you being sick as a dog.

We don't have no money. We don't have shit.

We don't live there anymore. He moved us out.

We feel responsible for the both of you.

We got some serious freaks up here in this piece, man.

We got two more hours to go. Man, I don't want to hear that shit.

We had a ball already.

We have to get started right away.

We're going to get you a passport, plane ticket and a VISA card.

We're leaving.

We're the Railsplitters, and nobody's fucking with us.

We're up on the Upper West Side? Central Park West somewhere?

Well, brother, you looking at us with all that fucking familiarity and shit.

Well, here we are, huh?

Well, I'm here to testify that I found a pair.

Well, it don't matter, but, you know, it's true, uh...

Well, it's going to be over Monday morning, okay?

Well, Jake, I think it's time for all of us to go back home.

Well, spirituality too.

Well, technically, it's mine.

Well, you believe it. I believed you when you said...

Well, you know, I got a lady back in Brooklyn.

What did I tell you about listening to what people say?

What do you expect? I got to take care of Mary, nobody else but me.

What does it all mean All this shit I'm seeing

What does it all mean all this shit I'm seeing

What I'd like to know, how does a convicted murderer get out so quick?

What is game, who got game Where is the game in life

What is game, who got game Where's the game in life

What is game, who got game Where's the game in life

What most impresses me about Jesus Shuttlesworth...

What they offering you, boy? What they going to give you?

What time is it?

What you looking around for?

What you need to do is let go of my arm. Let go of my arm!

What you think Jordan doing right now? He lifting weights right now.

What you think? I want to see you get pushed like that. Ow!

What you want, the jump shot dunk?

What?

What?

What's in the bag?

What's love got to do with what you got

What's the matter, baby? You don't like the food.

What's up, Chick? Hey, Chick.

What's up, son?

What's up?

What's wrong with finding Jesus, huh? What's wrong with that?

Whatever may be may be. But you can look like Buddy Hackett...

Whatever they paying you, I can do better than that.

When are you going to make a decision?

When did all this happen?

When I graduate,

When I really get paid, I ain't going to lose track of you and Aunt Sally!

When I was a kid, my mother used to go, Arthur, you're a capo tost.

When I watched Kenny Anderson's stuff,

When making a business decision, the only color that matters is green.

When they get in here, they tear the roof off, yo.

When you begged me to get that abortion, I believed you.

When you can walk to see your son right from here?

Where Christ is in all this crisis

Where Christ is in all this crisis

Where them elbows at? Give me the elbows. Make me pay for it.

Where you going? Have you chosen a school yet? Are you going to the NBA?

Where's my wig?

Whether it's you or your father that wants to pursue this.

Whew! Jesus Shuttlesworth.

While the devil takes care of making all the rules

Who brought you this Victoria's Secret bra and panties shit?

Who got game Where's the game in life

Who taught you that one?

Who the fuck does she think she is?

Who the fuck you think you are?

Who was that? She was sweating you.

Who's the guy?

Whoo hoo!

Why beat around the bush?

Why do you all men think... dick is the cure all?

Why do you fuck with me, you fucking bitches?

Why don't you and Lala make yourself at home and let me and Jesus discuss some business.

Why don't you just pretend like

Why don't you take that wig off...

Why I pushed you so hard.

Why is Daddy here? Why did he come back?

Why shouldn't Lala get something out of this? Everybody else is.
