When you shoot.
you adjust for the wind.
Out at the beach.
the wind can push the ball
to inches.

Who you yelling at?
Get rid of that gum!
I'm tired of

Tell this bubblehead
to go right here.
Guy could get shot

south of the Coliseum.
Let me off
at the Trump Towers.

Kept some letters

The flyest view
in the jungle.
Home sweet home.
You know it. baby.
That was
a good run today.
Good run.
Some of that money
you made.
you could take this car
to the car wash.
This is one
classic automobile.
You got
a fine woman.
Keep your hands off her.
I said she was fine.
I didn't say I was
going to touch her.
Touch her.
I'll kick your ass.
You hear me?
Ho ho.
Ho ho ho!
Looky. looky. looky.
It's all starting
to come clear. isn't it?
Good.
You're a cool customer
on the court.
real chill
out on the street.
can't be rattled
in your game.
You don't even fall
for that nigger shit.
But when it comes to
your woman.
that's a different
matter altogether.
Look at you.
I ain't talked trash or pushed up
on the sister.
and you already
thinking about it.
Shut the fuck up.
But this is good.
This is really
good shit to know.
I know
your weakness.
You like all the white boys
I ever met.
You're like every brother
I ever saw.
You'd rather look good
and lose than look bad and win.
You don't know shit
about me.
I know plenty
about you. Sidney.
How many dinners this chain
set your family back?
Just go home.
get some rest.
OK. Brady Bunch?
I ain't tired.
Bye. Gloria.
Oh. goodbye.
It was nice
seeing you again.
Oh. same here.
I like these rings.
They kind of fly.
Thank you!
Take care.
Yo. Billy. tomorrow we goin'

Hey. I got

Oh. right. Fuck me.
Better get your ass across La Brea

[ Ray Charles Singing ]
Well, I say love
Whoa, love
Would somebody
explain to me
why this Negro is singing
cowboy music?
You know this is
my favorite song.
It makes me think about
making love to you.
It makes me want to
lock you in a room
and make love to you
over and over
and over and over.
I didn't say
I didn't like it.
Yeah?
This can't be safe.
You know. I believe
in safe sex. honey.
For you to hurt me...
I want to
take a shower.
Honey. no! No!
No. honey! Stop!
I want you to know
That I was blind.
but now I see
I say. I once was blind.
but now I see
Well. you know.
I once
Was blind
But now I see
That that old love
has made a fool of me
Honey?
My mouth is dry.
Honey. I'm thirsty.
Umm...
[ Water Runs ]
There you go. honey.
When I said
I was thirsty.
it doesn't mean
I want a glass of water.
It doesn't?
You're missing
the whole point
of me saying
I'm thirsty.
If I have a problem.
you're not supposed to solve it.
Men always make the mistake
of thinking
they can solve
a woman's problem.
It makes them feel
omnipotent.
Omnipotent?
Did you have
a bad dream?
It's a way
of controlling a woman.
Bringing them
a glass of water?
Yes.
I read it
in a magazine.
See. if I'm thirsty.
I don't want
a glass of water.
I want you
to sympathize.
I want you to say.
''Gloria. I. too.
know what it feels like to be thirsty.
I. too.
have had a dry mouth.''
I want you to
connect with me
through sharing
and understanding
the concept
of dry mouthedness.
This is all
in the same magazine?
You're into control.
Shut up.
See?
You make me sick.
Don't give me
the rollover.
When I say I'm thirsty.
it means if anybody
has a glass of water.
I'd love a sip.
When I say I want to
make love.
it means. let's screw.
Exactly the kind of thing
I thought you'd say!
I don't like
the word ''screw.'' OK?
I prefer ''make love''
or ''fuck.''
Screwing is
for carpenters.
Oh. you're
going to get it.
Oh. honey.
Ohh!
Where you going?
Anywhere...
to get the hell
away from you.
Psycho.
chiquita nut case.
Oh. come back!
I want to make love!
Honey. come back!
I want to screw!
Ah. Forget you. then.
Piece of shit.
Asshole.
Whoo
Come on...
Look! There he is.
Honey!
The Stuccis!
The Stuccis?
Oh!
Honey. hurry!
How did they find us?
The money!
All right!
All right!
I got the money!
I got the money!
OK. OK.
If you wanna try
the front door
That's a door
I've never seen

Go. honey! Come on!
I'm coming. honey!
Go! Come on!
Go! Go! Go!
Slow up!
Slow up!
Wait for me!
Wait for me!
How come you're
moving so slow?
I'm carrying everything.
You want me to
carry you. too?
Oh. shit!
Come on!
Come on. honey!
We'd shoot you. Billy.
But first
we want the money!
We've got your number
now. Billy.
Get in my limo. baby
Gonna take you

And I tell you

Then you tell me
that I lie

then figure out where
I'm going to sleep tonight.

I'm sorry!
is the answer.
What is
the question?
How many books are in

I am so fuckin' good.
Did Jeopardy!
call yet?
Not yet. but I'll
need a nice dress.
When they call.
you got to be ready.
You want to hear
the books
of the Old Testament
backwards?
It's Malachi,
Zechariah, Haggai--
Honey. please.
I did famous women
and foods that
start with ''Q.''
You couldn't imagine
how many foods there are
that actually start
with ''Q.''
Honey. will you
please shut up?
What's wrong with you?
I lost the money.
Oh.Jesus. Billy!
Not again!
How much?
A lot of it.
Most of it.
Roughly...all of it.
Billy. you lost all
our fuckin' money?
Shit. Billy!
Jesus. man!

to . !
Were your opponents
that good?
I beat better guys
in Jersey.
You weren't hitting
your jump shots?
I was hitting mine.
What about Sidney?
He had an off day.
He wasn't
shooting much.
This guy scored
on him.
He wasn't D-ing up.
He usually plays
good '' D.''
You got hustled.
I did not
get hustled.
You got set up.
You got hustled by Sidney!
No. He's a good guy.
You said
he's full of shit!
And he's a good guy!
You're full of shit.
And fuck that shit!
I'm going back to
that house
and getting
my money back.
No. no. no. honey.
A man cannot ask
for his money back.
He lives in
the jungle. right?
No. honey. we can't.
They don't let white people
in the Crenshaw District.
I don't know
about Puerto Ricans.
but it's a reverse
discrimination thing.
We dropped off Sidney on the corner
of Crenshaw and Washington.
Honey.
you don't understand.
Men understand
how these things work.
Wasn't there
an apartment house there?
Let me explain.
Men's rules
are very simple.
If you win. you win.
If you lose. you lose.
You don't ask
for the money back.
Why not?
It's not part
of the rules.
Yeah? I got a different
set of rules.
Want to hear them?
Sometimes when you win.
you really lose.
Sometimes when you lose.
you really win.
Sometimes when you win
or lose. you actually tie.
Sometimes when you tie.
you actually win or lose.
I hate it when you
talk like that.
It makes me crazy
when you talk like that.
Winning and losing is
one big organic globule
from which one extracts
what one needs.
I'm fucked.
Forget it.
I ain't--no. no.
I'm not getting
off this bus.
No. stop!
Can we discuss it?
Can we have
a discussion here?
[ Doorbell Rings ]
Yes?
Does Sidney Deane
live here?
He does.
He's my husband.
Yeah. well.
your husband stole ç .
from my boyfriend.
Really?
Just a minute.
Sidney?
Yeah. baby?
Some people out here
say you stole their money.
Oh. shit.
No. baby.
I didn't steal his money.
I hustled his money.
Yo! Cindy Brady!
That girl is fine!

what happened?

What do you want?
Who invited you
in my house?
I did.
I want to talk to...
Gloria.
[ Sidney ]
That man hustled me
long before
I ever hustled him.
I saw
the whole thing.
What goes around
comes around.
Then you won't mind
if Gloria and I talk.
You want something
to drink?
Please.
This boy got
a lot of guts.
Billy Ho!
Good to see you. Billy!
You look swell!
You fucked me. man.
Get out in front
of the TV.
You fucked me!
We had a partnership!
We were never partners.
Look.
it goes like this.
You either smoke.
or you get smoked.
And you got smoked!
Ha ha!
Clean as my gun.
Yes. it was.
Smooth.
A thing of beauty
is a joy forever.
Sidney. get this guy
to shut the fuck up!
I'll go the way
you like--
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I want my money.
You not getting
the money back.
You giving me
my money back.
I'm not giving
you nothin'.
Billy and Sidney
were teammates.
Teammates can't
hustle each other.
Oh. really?
Why not?
It's not artistic!
I don't care
about art. OK?
All I care about
is getting out
of the Vista View
apartment building!
There ain't
no vista. no views.
or no vista
of views.
You want cream.
sugar. or what?
Cream.
I trusted you.
There are rules to hustling.
There's an ethics
involved.
That you wouldn't know
anything about.
I never shook anyone's hand
and stabbed him in the back.
The Indians shook hands
with the Pilgrims.
and look who got fucked.
Who you calling Pilgrim?
You. motherfucking
Christopher Columbus.
Gobble this. turkey.
I got a gun
in my hand!

wrong with you?

Aw. man!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Good play.
That's a black man.
That's a black man.
Throughout our
glorious life together.
I bought a car from the Stuccis
for grand.
It was shit.
I didn't want to pay.
They told Billy unless he got
their money back.
they would cut me up.
He had to
get the money back.
The Stuccis decided
to fix a basketball game.
Billy agreed.
but halfway through.
he got pissed off
and didn't throw it.
The Stuccis
lost a bundle.
Wake up. girlfriend.
It's your boyfriend.
He's got some problems.
He's just bad with money.
The Stuccis are
still after us.
It's a sad story.
I'm sorry.
But I'm not giving
you the money.
I might. however.
be willing to discuss
other arrangements.
Hey. there's Cadee.
That ain't Cadee.
Oh. that's Eddie.
All right. listen up.
We have a solution.
Tell them to move.
They're black women.
You think I'm crazy?
Here's the scenario.
Rhonda's going to give me
some of the money back.
We figured out a way
to get the rest.
You guys need to
kiss. make up.
and play
in that tournament.
Hell. no.
I ain't playing with

Whoo!
She's going to
love my ass.
Damn!
You know something?
I can jam. man.
OK.
You keep telling everybody
I can't stuff it.
I say that to get
underneath your skin.
Just 'cause I don't
do it in a game
don't mean I can't.
OK. fine.
But you don't think
I can stuff it.
Billy. I don't care
if you can
or if you can't.
Stop the fucking car.
What?
Stop the car.
Pull it over.
Turn that shit down.
What is that shit?
It's good music.
Don't call it shit.
I'll bet my half of the grand
against your half
that I can stuff it.
Let me give you
some advice.
Buy your girl
a pretty dress
in case she gets on
that damn game show.
You're either stupid
or dangerous.
You can't be stupid
because stupid people know
they can't piss me off.
So you must
be dangerous.
To who?
To yourself.
I'm taking you home.
I don't jam in a game
because it's showboating
for the sake of showboating.
which you know about--
I look good playing.
Like a behind-the-back pass
that's unnecessary.
Passing? You have a hard-enough time
passing gas.
It goes back
to what I said.
A white man wants to win first.
look good second.
A black man wants to look good first.
win second.
That's the most ridiculous
philosophical bullshit
I've ever heard.
Look. right over here.
There's a goal.
Get your money.
let's go.
That's absolute garbage.
I'm tired
of your shit.
Just put your money
where your mouth is.
I just need three tries.
That's all you need?
All right.
One of us is definitely
not going home tonight.
Aah!
Man. you were
almost there.
I was with you.
Damn. Come on. baby.
You can do this.
Youse a sucker. man.
Is this shit regulation?
This shit ain't regulation.
Get the fuck out of here.
Regulation?
Move out the way.
I'll check it
for you.
Move.
Yeah. yeah.
Just about right.
Let's go. baby.
I believe in you.
I know what the problem is.
Come on.
Get out of
the fucking way.
Yo. I'm trying to help.
It's a bet.
All right.
It's your money.
Go.
Ah! Fuck me!
Mmm mmm mmm.
Mmm mmm mmm.
When I was looking
at it before.
I thought it was
a little high myself.
but after re-evaluating.
I think it was
an optical illusion. right?
I know the problem.
I can't let you
go out like that.
Get the fuck
off me. man.
I'll pump you up.
It's a bet. man.
Stop fucking around.
Billy.
Shut up. man.

Shut up.
Billy. listen.
What?

Shit!
Good luck with Gloria.

is stupid.

stupid sometimes.

Some you miss.
and some you make
Some you give.
and some you take

I am the truth.

Some you stand.

how or where
I would gladly
pay the price

which way to go
Or if I ever despair

to fucking wake up?
Jeopardy! is
gonna call. Billy.
It's my destiny to triumph
magnificently on that show.
I'll never do that
wearing this stupid.
hootchy-mama-looking dress.
which was a poor excuse
to cover up the fact
that you fucked up again!
I'm gonna win.
all right.
I'm gonna get on
that motherfucking show.
and I'm gonna win
because I'm overwhelmed
with more useless goddamn information
than any human being

I'm sorry. man.
I don't know how.
but I got to
get her back.

but everybody has got
a cross to bear.
