1
00:00:22,732 --> 00:00:23,983
Jack?
2
00:00:25,401 --> 00:00:29,280
Jack, you were supposed to meet
me at the club for doubles.
3
00:00:29,363 --> 00:00:31,950
Those insurance
fellas clobbered me.
4
00:00:32,867 --> 00:00:34,911
You know, one day off
isn't gonna kill you.
5
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:38,498
- Oh hey.
- Hey.
6
00:00:38,581 --> 00:00:41,466
I was just
borrowing Jack's Betamax.
7
00:00:41,972 --> 00:00:44,395
What happened?
Jack stood you up?
8
00:00:45,254 --> 00:00:47,489
Yeah. Have you seen him?
9
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:50,134
- Hm, no.
- I called his house.
10
00:00:50,218 --> 00:00:53,067
I figured maybe inspiration
struck and he came here.
11
00:00:53,805 --> 00:00:55,598
Man's not really one
for a day off, you know?
12
00:00:55,681 --> 00:00:57,974
Hey, you're welcome
to take a load off.
13
00:00:58,386 --> 00:01:00,353
You can listen to me
get my 27 words in.
14
00:01:00,436 --> 00:01:02,146
- Twenty-seven, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
15
00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:04,732
Chick choked on his
vodka at commercial.
16
00:01:04,816 --> 00:01:07,735
- That sounds like a divine intervention.
- Yeah, well.
17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,154
For a second there, I had
a whole flash of panic.
18
00:01:10,179 --> 00:01:11,252
I was like
19
00:01:11,955 --> 00:01:13,482
what happens if he drops dead?
20
00:01:13,619 --> 00:01:15,963
I mean, I'm gonna have to
finish the whole game on my own.
21
00:01:16,202 --> 00:01:18,096
The apprentice's dilemma.
22
00:01:18,454 --> 00:01:20,541
- What's that?
- It's a little
23
00:01:20,771 --> 00:01:22,231
lecture I used to give.
24
00:01:22,627 --> 00:01:24,477
Well, I love
a good lecture.
25
00:01:24,502 --> 00:01:25,670
You can I ask my wife.
26
00:01:25,753 --> 00:01:27,713
Let me get the
tequila. You want some?
27
00:01:27,812 --> 00:01:29,243
- Yeah, alright.
28
00:01:29,268 --> 00:01:30,737
Tudor England.
29
00:01:31,108 --> 00:01:34,278
The entire economy
split into two tiers.
30
00:01:34,303 --> 00:01:36,389
Apprentices and masters.
31
00:01:36,530 --> 00:01:38,991
The idea was that any
apprentice worth his salt
32
00:01:39,016 --> 00:01:41,805
is climbing up that
ladder, turns into a master
33
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:43,312
when he comes of age.
34
00:01:43,396 --> 00:01:45,731
So, we're too old
to share an office?
35
00:01:45,756 --> 00:01:47,466
Not if you ask Hamlet. See,
36
00:01:47,491 --> 00:01:49,563
you got the whole of
Denmark telling this prince
37
00:01:49,588 --> 00:01:51,761
he's destined to be
king. But, you know what?
38
00:01:51,946 --> 00:01:53,721
He didn't want it.
39
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:56,830
- He wasn't built for it.
- Mm-hmm.
40
00:01:57,869 --> 00:02:00,166
I
think that I spent, uh
41
00:02:00,955 --> 00:02:04,330
a very long time
feeling like a failure
42
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:07,211
because the best thing
that I know how to do
43
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:10,643
is help another guy be great.
44
00:02:11,674 --> 00:02:13,510
But what I'm starting to realize
45
00:02:13,718 --> 00:02:16,299
is that maybe
46
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:20,619
'tis better be a noble
prince than hapless king?
47
00:02:21,392 --> 00:02:22,870
Maybe I ought to read
more Shakespeare.
48
00:02:22,894 --> 00:02:24,362
Always.
49
00:02:25,107 --> 00:02:27,901
But that was a Paul
Westhead original.
50
00:02:29,306 --> 00:02:31,725
- Good one.
51
00:02:31,903 --> 00:02:33,404
Well, hello, Jack.
52
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:34,882
- Cassie.
He's in ICU.
53
00:02:34,906 --> 00:02:36,824
- Cassie, slow down.
It's Jack!
54
00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:38,242
Jack's in the emergency room.
55
00:02:38,326 --> 00:02:39,577
Okay, which hospital?
56
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:41,340
Little Company
of Mary. T-Torrance.
57
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,080
Westhead: Yeah. Okay,
I'll be right there.
58
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:47,084
("My Favorite Mutiny"
by The Coup playing
59
00:04:14,964 --> 00:04:16,438
Your name.
60
00:04:16,674 --> 00:04:18,797
Most precious thing you've got.
61
00:04:19,135 --> 00:04:21,762
That's why it's our
job to protect it.
62
00:04:21,846 --> 00:04:24,306
Keep it synonymous with success,
63
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:25,975
on the floor and off.
64
00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:29,145
And I can promise, when folks see
you in our shoes, they'll say,
65
00:04:29,228 --> 00:04:32,231
"There goes a
Converse All-Star."
66
00:04:32,314 --> 00:04:34,150
"Adidas, the shoe of champions."
67
00:04:34,233 --> 00:04:35,936
He's cool, he's fun, and...
68
00:04:35,961 --> 00:04:38,029
- A quality fit. That's Puma.
- Of course, he's rich.
69
00:04:38,054 --> 00:04:39,321
We need to think
about your feet.
70
00:04:39,346 --> 00:04:41,091
You need to think
about your pocketbook.
71
00:04:41,115 --> 00:04:42,450
- Your legacy.
- Your feet.
72
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:44,535
You wanna be as
American as apple pie.
73
00:04:44,618 --> 00:04:45,804
That's the makings of a legend.
74
00:04:45,828 --> 00:04:47,580
And everyone will
want a piece...
75
00:04:47,663 --> 00:04:50,082
- Magic, Mr. Magic.
- The Magic Man!
76
00:04:50,166 --> 00:04:51,834
It's Earvin, actually.
77
00:04:51,917 --> 00:04:53,517
Converse Salesman:
Not anymore! Earvin...
78
00:04:53,544 --> 00:04:55,755
- Earvin will be gone someday.
- Maybe he already is.
79
00:04:55,838 --> 00:04:57,006
Magic is immortal.
80
00:04:57,089 --> 00:04:58,442
Converse Salesman:
If you choose wisely
81
00:04:58,466 --> 00:05:00,521
- this could be...
- If you choose us...
82
00:05:00,546 --> 00:05:02,511
Right on the soles of
the next generation...
83
00:05:02,595 --> 00:05:04,430
- If you choose us...
- This could be
84
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:06,992
- the most important choice of your season.
- Of your entire life.
85
00:05:07,016 --> 00:05:08,976
Well, uh... yeah.
86
00:05:10,061 --> 00:05:12,772
Thanks. Got a lot to think on.
87
00:05:12,855 --> 00:05:14,750
- Take your time but, just so you know...
- Sleep on it.
88
00:05:14,774 --> 00:05:17,985
- Just so you know, Converse already has...
- a verbal commitment
89
00:05:18,069 --> 00:05:19,838
- from your friend Larry Bird.
- Larry Bird.
90
00:05:21,906 --> 00:05:22,907
Oh.
91
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:24,909
That's Magic Johnson!
92
00:05:27,078 --> 00:05:29,205
Hope you had your fill
of bullshit.
93
00:05:29,288 --> 00:05:30,539
Those guys keep on shoveling
94
00:05:30,623 --> 00:05:33,292
till you're just another
stallion in the stable.
95
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:35,461
Phil. Phil Knight.
96
00:05:35,544 --> 00:05:38,005
Hey, Phil. You...
you on the schedule?
97
00:05:38,089 --> 00:05:39,465
Me? Heck no.
98
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:42,384
Front Office seems to have
you under lock and key.
99
00:05:42,468 --> 00:05:43,761
Big dogs only.
100
00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:46,430
Fact is, I-I'm sort
of a rookie myself.
101
00:05:46,514 --> 00:05:48,366
Let me be straight as an
arrow with you, Earvin.
102
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:49,809
C-can I call you Earvin?
103
00:05:49,892 --> 00:05:51,519
I wish somebody would.
104
00:05:51,602 --> 00:05:53,580
Good 'cause I'm an athlete,
too. Ran track at Oregon.
105
00:05:53,604 --> 00:05:56,899
Mediocre talent. Not like
you. But, my coach and me,
106
00:05:56,982 --> 00:05:59,276
my partner now, we
figured out a nifty trick.
107
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,694
If we could shave just one ounce
108
00:06:00,778 --> 00:06:03,239
off of our shoes, it made us
55 pounds lighter every mile.
109
00:06:03,322 --> 00:06:04,800
You run an average of
three miles a game.
110
00:06:04,824 --> 00:06:07,993
Think how much faster you would
be without any extra weight.
111
00:06:08,077 --> 00:06:09,620
What, you tellin'
me to play barefoot?
112
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:12,748
I'm telling you to
play... in these.
113
00:06:30,391 --> 00:06:33,519
- Y'all making me a special pair?
- Every pair.
114
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:36,334
The Nike Magic.
115
00:06:36,814 --> 00:06:40,272
A new label for
a whole new line.
116
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:45,522
- Y'all talking to Larry Bird, too?
- I'm talking to you.
117
00:06:45,923 --> 00:06:48,467
We need more than just
a smile on a poster.
118
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:50,554
We need a partner.
119
00:06:52,288 --> 00:06:53,873
- How much we talking?
- You mean
120
00:06:53,956 --> 00:06:55,809
can I give you what those
other guys are offering.
121
00:06:55,833 --> 00:06:58,752
Where's that sitting right
now? Sixty, 70 grand a year?
122
00:06:58,777 --> 00:07:00,028
Eighty.
123
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:04,233
Wow. I'm offering a dollar.
124
00:07:04,633 --> 00:07:06,010
One for every pair we ship,
125
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:07,887
plus 100,000 in stock options.
126
00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:10,055
Right now, that's
18 cents a share.
127
00:07:10,139 --> 00:07:12,516
But the sky's the limit, Earvin.
128
00:07:13,142 --> 00:07:14,476
Bet on us,
129
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,991
you're betting on yourself.
130
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,778
Proposal's in the
shoe. Look it over,
131
00:07:19,803 --> 00:07:21,096
I'll be in town all week.
132
00:07:22,401 --> 00:07:24,778
Ah! Sign with us, you
get the right one, too!
133
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:41,694
Oh, good lord.
134
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:46,522
Is he...
135
00:07:48,677 --> 00:07:50,390
Oh, no! I mean, he...
136
00:07:50,888 --> 00:07:53,057
Wow, he looks really good.
137
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:56,160
- Actually...
- Okay, let's go. Let's go get some air.
138
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:58,771
- Paul's here now.
- Paul: I'm here. I'm sorry.
139
00:07:58,854 --> 00:08:00,814
Hey, Cran, it's gonna be okay.
140
00:08:00,898 --> 00:08:03,359
Come on, Cran. Let's get some air.
I'm here.
141
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:06,153
Hey, I got this. We're
going to be fine.
142
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,694
Goddammit, Jack.
143
00:08:22,718 --> 00:08:24,929
You were supposed to
meet me for tennis, man.
144
00:08:27,716 --> 00:08:29,551
- Okay.
Good afternoon.
145
00:08:29,635 --> 00:08:30,678
Hi. Hey.
146
00:08:30,761 --> 00:08:32,846
- Are you family?
- Um, if you could
147
00:08:32,930 --> 00:08:34,848
just give me the
information, please.
148
00:08:34,932 --> 00:08:37,356
Well, we were able
to dress his wounds,
149
00:08:37,381 --> 00:08:39,905
but the inflammation in his
brain is worrisome. Are...
150
00:08:40,495 --> 00:08:42,146
Are you authorized
to make decisions?
151
00:08:42,171 --> 00:08:44,400
- We may need to discuss goals of care.
- Okay.
152
00:08:44,483 --> 00:08:46,211
My goal is to get him up
and walking out of here
153
00:08:46,235 --> 00:08:48,070
- as good as new, right?
- Of course.
154
00:08:48,153 --> 00:08:50,406
That's our north star,
155
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:52,074
but an injury severe as this,
156
00:08:52,157 --> 00:08:55,160
sometimes, the discussion
moves to quality of life.
157
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:59,546
Quality of life? He's
head coach of the Lakers.
158
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,042
He's living his dr... All
he did was take a tumble
159
00:09:02,126 --> 00:09:04,712
- off of a goddamn bike!
- The trauma he's endured...
160
00:09:04,795 --> 00:09:06,356
It's not gonna happen!
If that's your attitude,
161
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:08,340
we're going to need
another doctor. Just...
162
00:09:12,261 --> 00:09:15,306
That's Jack McKinney.
He's my best friend. So,
163
00:09:15,389 --> 00:09:17,349
what I need to hear from you
164
00:09:17,433 --> 00:09:19,685
is what you're gonna
do to fix him up
165
00:09:19,768 --> 00:09:21,854
because we have a
fucking game tomorrow!
166
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:43,334
Well, well, well.
167
00:09:43,417 --> 00:09:47,254
- What do we have here?
- It's from the signore.
168
00:09:47,338 --> 00:09:49,131
It's on me, pal.
169
00:09:51,008 --> 00:09:54,011
Jack. You shouldn't have!
170
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,388
I had to comp his season
tickets to get him to do that.
171
00:09:56,472 --> 00:09:58,515
He's our biggest
fan. It's crazy.
172
00:09:58,599 --> 00:10:00,726
We got two seats
right next to him.
173
00:10:00,809 --> 00:10:02,519
Reserved for Great Western Bank.
174
00:10:02,603 --> 00:10:06,023
Hot damn! The
wife is gonna plotz.
175
00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:08,692
You know, Dr. Buss put
chairs right on the floor
176
00:10:08,776 --> 00:10:11,153
- because it's great for television.
177
00:10:11,236 --> 00:10:13,113
Yeah. We don't pick
that up in Sacramento.
178
00:10:13,197 --> 00:10:15,199
All they pick up in
Sacramento is the clap,
179
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:17,785
which, incidentally, is
exactly how this is spreading.
180
00:10:17,868 --> 00:10:19,536
We're 13 games in.
181
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:20,871
We got lightning in a bottle.
182
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:23,040
We got a genius
coach, young phenom,
183
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:25,876
coupled with the greatest
player in the league,
184
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:27,628
right here, smack
dab in the heart
185
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:29,546
of the entertainment
capital of the world.
186
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:30,923
Mr. Buss,
187
00:10:31,006 --> 00:10:32,883
we are a banking institution,
188
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,301
and your loan matures tomorrow.
189
00:10:34,385 --> 00:10:37,096
Though I presume from your
request to meet that we're here
190
00:10:37,179 --> 00:10:38,764
to talk about a payment plan.
191
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:42,142
You're darn tootin'.
Frank, tell him our plan.
192
00:10:43,352 --> 00:10:45,020
We don't plan to pay.
193
00:10:48,649 --> 00:10:50,901
We're giving you an opportunity.
194
00:10:52,111 --> 00:10:54,655
The Lakers are the
team of the 1980s,
195
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:58,003
and the Great Western Bank can
be the official banking partner
196
00:10:58,028 --> 00:10:59,660
of the Los Angeles Lakers.
197
00:10:59,743 --> 00:11:01,412
But we're gonna
need a continuation
198
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:04,581
of the current loan through
June to the end of the season,
199
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:06,083
plus a fresh line of credit,
200
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:07,644
so we can keep investing
in the business.
201
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:09,795
Together.
202
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:13,173
And if we demand our money now?
203
00:11:13,257 --> 00:11:16,337
Well then, Mariani,
Buss, and Associates
204
00:11:16,362 --> 00:11:18,259
is going to file for bankruptcy.
205
00:11:18,284 --> 00:11:21,515
And you can take the two of us
for everything we got.
206
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:23,459
Which, right now, is...
207
00:11:23,484 --> 00:11:25,194
I don't know, Frank,
what do we got?
208
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:31,942
- $72.
Oh,
209
00:11:31,967 --> 00:11:33,962
and this fine bottle of
bubbly. Don't forget that.
210
00:11:33,986 --> 00:11:38,142
And, of course, the team.
The team is worth plenty.
211
00:11:38,167 --> 00:11:39,491
N... ope!
212
00:11:39,575 --> 00:11:41,743
My mother is a
genius, by the way.
213
00:11:41,768 --> 00:11:44,263
My ex-wife wanted
something gold,
214
00:11:44,694 --> 00:11:46,900
so I gave her the team.
215
00:11:46,925 --> 00:11:48,697
All that's in her name now.
216
00:11:48,722 --> 00:11:52,171
So, you can shake us down
and come up with pocket lint,
217
00:11:52,254 --> 00:11:54,798
or you can dig down deep
218
00:11:54,882 --> 00:11:57,089
into those fancy suits you got,
219
00:11:57,331 --> 00:11:59,052
try to find the balls
220
00:11:59,136 --> 00:12:01,263
to stay in business
with the Lakers.
221
00:12:01,346 --> 00:12:02,598
And then, my friends,
222
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:05,934
that bank is gonna raise
a statue of you two
223
00:12:06,018 --> 00:12:08,437
right there in downtown
Sacramento someday. Trust me.
224
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,147
Listen, I'd love to
stay and chitchat,
225
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:12,733
but I have a very horny
22-year-old upstairs
226
00:12:12,816 --> 00:12:13,942
just waiting for me. So,
227
00:12:14,026 --> 00:12:16,445
take our projections,
spend the day with them,
228
00:12:16,528 --> 00:12:19,114
and then come to the club tonight
and tell us we got a deal.
229
00:12:19,198 --> 00:12:20,824
The Jacksons are
gonna pack that place.
230
00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:22,910
But don't worry. We
got your comp tickets.
231
00:12:22,993 --> 00:12:24,161
Listen,
232
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:26,705
it's clear skies
from here on out.
233
00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:29,374
Pleasure doing business
with you. Frank.
234
00:12:33,712 --> 00:12:35,297
Oh,
boy, oh boy, oh boy.
235
00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:36,700
You think they're
gonna go for it?
236
00:12:36,757 --> 00:12:38,300
Of course, they're
gonna go for it.
237
00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:40,445
They'd be fools not to. We got
'em by the short and curlies.
238
00:12:40,469 --> 00:12:42,221
- Hello, gentlemen.
- Claire?
239
00:12:42,304 --> 00:12:44,199
- What are you doing here?
- I'm waiting for you.
240
00:12:44,223 --> 00:12:45,557
On my day off.
241
00:12:45,641 --> 00:12:47,285
Was supposed to be at
the zoo with my grandson,
242
00:12:47,309 --> 00:12:49,978
- but there's a problem with food and beverage.
- What's that?
243
00:12:50,062 --> 00:12:51,563
- There isn't any.
- Fuck.
244
00:12:51,647 --> 00:12:53,166
He hears me on the phone.
Kid's like a parrot.
245
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:55,043
The deliveries were never
made because your bookkeeper
246
00:12:55,067 --> 00:12:57,819
sent bad checks
to all my vendors.
247
00:12:57,903 --> 00:13:00,256
- None of the vendors have been paid?
- Claire Rothman: No.
248
00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:04,159
Th-th... This
is an old account.
249
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:07,120
She's an old bookkeeper.
250
00:13:10,249 --> 00:13:12,501
I was telling
Earvin that it is some luck
251
00:13:12,584 --> 00:13:15,712
that you're in town. You
know, your head for business.
252
00:13:15,796 --> 00:13:17,464
These shoe companies
are comin' at him
253
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:20,842
pretty hard for an
endorsement deal.
254
00:13:20,926 --> 00:13:23,095
I can imagine.
Promise you the world.
255
00:13:23,178 --> 00:13:25,180
The question is,
will they deliver?
256
00:13:25,264 --> 00:13:27,057
Earvin Johnson: Yeah.
257
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:29,101
Whole lot of numbers, but...
258
00:13:29,184 --> 00:13:32,729
Have you been talking to anybody
else about this? A professional?
259
00:13:32,813 --> 00:13:36,191
Um, Pops got Mr. Bowman
outta D-Town.
260
00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:39,069
He's a fine attorney
for a Michigan attorney.
261
00:13:40,362 --> 00:13:41,488
And for this?
262
00:13:41,572 --> 00:13:44,116
Don't know his dick
from a doorknob.
263
00:13:45,576 --> 00:13:48,579
Guess you could say the
same thing about me, too.
264
00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:50,998
I wouldn't.
265
00:13:51,707 --> 00:13:53,250
Look ...
266
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:55,002
Let me pose a question
267
00:13:55,085 --> 00:13:57,546
that I pose to all
my clients, okay?
268
00:13:57,629 --> 00:14:00,799
Five years, 10 years, 50.
269
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:04,219
What do you want
out of your future?
270
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:09,308
Um.
271
00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:11,685
Everything.
272
00:14:11,768 --> 00:14:13,895
Okay. That's big business.
273
00:14:13,979 --> 00:14:15,606
Something for everybody.
274
00:14:15,689 --> 00:14:16,773
Kinda like Coca-Cola.
275
00:14:16,857 --> 00:14:18,275
That's right! Yeah! Just...
276
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:19,752
That's exactly what
I'm talking about!
277
00:14:19,776 --> 00:14:21,504
Good, so now we know what
we building here, right?
278
00:14:21,528 --> 00:14:23,780
- Our promised land.
- Right.
279
00:14:23,864 --> 00:14:25,490
We need our 10 Commandments.
280
00:14:25,574 --> 00:14:27,451
Pitfalls to avoid.
281
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:29,703
Choices that Earvin might make
282
00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:32,497
that would be bad
for Magic Johnson.
283
00:14:36,418 --> 00:14:38,920
You ain't gotta worry
about that with me.
284
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:40,213
I don't drink none,
285
00:14:40,297 --> 00:14:43,008
and I don't touch
that narcotic either.
286
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:47,429
- Some Coca-Cola for you.
287
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:52,267
And women?
288
00:14:53,810 --> 00:14:56,438
You gotta be smarter.
289
00:14:57,439 --> 00:14:58,774
Quieter.
290
00:14:58,857 --> 00:15:01,485
Keep everybody happy.
291
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:08,325
Want another cup, Pops?
- Better not, baby girl.
292
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:11,244
The jet-lag is
beating me down. So,
293
00:15:11,328 --> 00:15:14,206
why don't I take a closer
look at these, Earvin?
294
00:15:14,289 --> 00:15:17,167
You know, we could talk
at the game tomorrow.
295
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,294
Cindy here has promised
me some good seats.
296
00:15:19,378 --> 00:15:22,255
You see, my man
takes care of family.
297
00:15:22,339 --> 00:15:25,258
Yeah. Hey, Doc, actually,
you d... you don't gotta...
298
00:15:26,468 --> 00:15:29,513
It's not a problem
at all. Trust me.
299
00:15:29,596 --> 00:15:31,431
- Let's go.
You got everything, Dad?
300
00:15:31,515 --> 00:15:33,392
Dr. Thomas Day: I do,
sweetheart. Walk me out.
301
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:47,322
- Ma!
302
00:15:47,406 --> 00:15:49,866
No, no,
no! Don't close that!
303
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:51,284
- Ma!
304
00:15:51,368 --> 00:15:54,121
Oh my god, my god...
How bad is it?
305
00:15:54,204 --> 00:15:56,099
Move this. We need to get...
306
00:15:56,123 --> 00:15:58,142
- Dad! Sorry! I couldn't hear you!
The hell is going on?
307
00:15:58,166 --> 00:16:01,420
- If that's Gerald, tell him to get in here!
I can't smell it.
308
00:16:01,503 --> 00:16:04,423
Smell what!?
She doesn't know the smell of death.
309
00:16:04,506 --> 00:16:07,008
- I do. Don't close that door!
310
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:09,928
There's something
rotting in the walls!
311
00:16:10,011 --> 00:16:11,638
You put me in here with vermin!
312
00:16:11,722 --> 00:16:13,491
- No! Leave that open!
- Ma. What are you doing?
313
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,076
We need the air!
- There's no smell!
314
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,060
Nonsense! Gerald,
get all this down!
315
00:16:17,144 --> 00:16:19,330
- It's up here! I know it!
- Will you forget about that shit
316
00:16:19,354 --> 00:16:20,439
and look at these?
317
00:16:20,522 --> 00:16:21,773
You paid all the vendors
318
00:16:21,857 --> 00:16:24,109
with checks from Crocker!
319
00:16:24,192 --> 00:16:27,487
Ma, we left Crocker
five years ago!
320
00:16:27,571 --> 00:16:29,531
You're the one who
closed the account!
321
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:35,579
Oh, well, there we have it.
Blame it on me. That's rich.
322
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:39,124
We'll just write new checks.
We'll sort all of this out.
323
00:16:47,215 --> 00:16:49,634
- What is this?
What?
324
00:16:51,595 --> 00:16:52,721
This.
325
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:59,895
Mom, this is the transfer
of ownership paperwork.
326
00:17:01,646 --> 00:17:03,875
They were supposed to be filed
with the state a month ago, Ma.
327
00:17:03,899 --> 00:17:05,817
I know that.
328
00:17:05,901 --> 00:17:07,903
Then what is it doing
in my fucking hand?
329
00:17:10,739 --> 00:17:13,617
The loan is due tomorrow!
330
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,286
And now, these fucking
bankers have me over a barrel,
331
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:17,829
and they're gonna take it all!
332
00:17:17,913 --> 00:17:20,791
No, I don't
understand! I don't understand.
333
00:17:20,874 --> 00:17:23,668
- I don't
understand what he's saying!
334
00:17:23,752 --> 00:17:25,420
- You're okay.
335
00:17:25,504 --> 00:17:27,589
Hello?
336
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:28,673
Hey, Bill.
337
00:17:28,757 --> 00:17:31,218
I know.
338
00:17:31,301 --> 00:17:32,177
What?
339
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:34,054
Bill, what hospital are you at?
340
00:17:34,137 --> 00:17:36,515
I'm coming. I'm coming.
Okay. Clean this place up
341
00:17:36,598 --> 00:17:38,242
and take care of her.
I have somewhere to be.
342
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,080
It's gonna be okay.
343
00:17:45,941 --> 00:17:48,985
- Bill Sharman: Dr. Buss.
- Hey, Bill. There you are.
344
00:17:51,613 --> 00:17:53,657
- So?
- He's still under the knife.
345
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,492
Shit.
346
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:57,720
- How long has he been in there?
I don't know.
347
00:17:57,744 --> 00:18:00,661
He came in as a John Doe.
Cranny found him here.
348
00:18:00,686 --> 00:18:02,707
The fuck was he doing
on a bike, Bill?
349
00:18:02,791 --> 00:18:04,417
It clears his head. It clears...
350
00:18:04,501 --> 00:18:06,294
Gentlemen.
351
00:18:06,378 --> 00:18:08,088
Jack is just out of surgery.
352
00:18:08,171 --> 00:18:10,215
- Bob Kerlan, team physician.
- Hey, Bob.
353
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:11,925
Sorry to meet under
these circumstances.
354
00:18:12,008 --> 00:18:14,636
He's out of surgery? Sorry.
He's, uh, he's awake?
355
00:18:14,719 --> 00:18:16,096
Oh, I certainly hope not.
356
00:18:16,179 --> 00:18:18,139
The top of his skull is
sitting in a freezer.
357
00:18:18,223 --> 00:18:20,225
Jesus fucking Christ.
358
00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:22,018
- Fuck.
- Well, just temporarily.
359
00:18:22,102 --> 00:18:24,145
They'll pop it back
on once the swelling
360
00:18:24,229 --> 00:18:25,313
in his brain goes down.
361
00:18:25,397 --> 00:18:28,191
- Is he gonna make it?
- You said it was temporary.
362
00:18:28,275 --> 00:18:31,862
Well, everything is, but the
next few hours will be crucial.
363
00:18:31,945 --> 00:18:34,447
I'll be on call. Bill.
364
00:18:34,531 --> 00:18:35,699
Bob.
365
00:18:37,158 --> 00:18:40,537
- I should call them the league, talk about postponing...
- No!
366
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:42,664
Do not call anybody.
367
00:18:42,747 --> 00:18:44,708
- What do we tell the press?
- Jerry: Nothing.
368
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:46,853
- We don't need anybody panicking.
- But what happens
369
00:18:46,877 --> 00:18:49,588
- when Jack's not in the locker room tomorrow?
- Bill
370
00:18:49,671 --> 00:18:52,799
you tell them he fell
off his fucking bike.
371
00:18:52,883 --> 00:18:54,718
'Cause that's the
truth, isn't it?
372
00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:57,262
- Yeah.
- Alright. So, listen to me.
373
00:18:57,345 --> 00:18:59,347
This is the exact
words you're gonna use.
374
00:18:59,431 --> 00:19:02,058
"We are erring on
the side of caution."
375
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:03,578
You tell the same
thing to the players.
376
00:19:03,602 --> 00:19:06,563
Pete, you're coaching
the game tomorrow.
377
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:08,231
- Paul.
- Huh?
378
00:19:08,315 --> 00:19:10,275
Um, wrong apostle. Um,
you said Pete, my name...
379
00:19:10,358 --> 00:19:13,028
Hey, hey. Get your
head outta your ass.
380
00:19:13,111 --> 00:19:16,239
- Can you coach the goddamn game or not?
- No.
381
00:19:16,323 --> 00:19:18,074
Yes. Sure.
382
00:19:18,158 --> 00:19:20,160
Look, I do the scouting,
I do the prep work anyway,
383
00:19:20,243 --> 00:19:22,454
so I can probably
coach one game.
384
00:19:22,537 --> 00:19:25,248
Dr. Buss, we should
discuss this.
385
00:19:25,332 --> 00:19:27,125
Don't lose.
386
00:19:33,715 --> 00:19:35,091
Mariani: Just take it easy.
387
00:19:35,175 --> 00:19:36,718
Jerry: Easy?
388
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,009
I'm fucking cursed.
389
00:19:39,034 --> 00:19:40,513
Yeah, but nobody knows.
390
00:19:40,597 --> 00:19:42,057
- Not yet!
- Right!
391
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:44,559
So, by the time the suits from
the bank find out about this,
392
00:19:44,643 --> 00:19:46,662
we're gonna have it signed,
sealed, delivered, right?
393
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:48,605
Unless they walk in here now
394
00:19:48,688 --> 00:19:51,274
- and see you I-like this.
- Got a bad feeling, Frank.
395
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:53,109
Come on. Look at me.
396
00:19:53,193 --> 00:19:55,153
Look at me.
397
00:19:55,236 --> 00:19:56,446
You're Gene Kelly.
398
00:19:56,529 --> 00:19:58,907
Y-you're Fred Astaire, man.
399
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:00,825
You're Ginger Rogers.
400
00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:02,244
So, tonight,
401
00:20:02,327 --> 00:20:04,746
tonight, you gotta do what?
402
00:20:10,001 --> 00:20:11,711
Okay.
403
00:20:11,795 --> 00:20:13,838
I'm gonna put on my taps
and I'm gonna dance.
404
00:20:13,922 --> 00:20:16,841
That's right, baby.
Dance your heart out.
405
00:20:16,925 --> 00:20:19,260
Hey now! You didn't
say this was a fruit bar.
406
00:20:20,762 --> 00:20:22,138
A fruit bar!
407
00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:23,908
How about that Michael?
He can sure boogie, huh?
408
00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:25,684
He's just the appetizer, boys.
409
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:27,769
You're about to have
the main course.
410
00:20:27,852 --> 00:20:30,230
Welcome to the Forum
Club. Come on in!
411
00:20:49,541 --> 00:20:50,834
You put that up your nose?
412
00:20:50,917 --> 00:20:53,795
Not this. You smoke
it. No more sniffles.
413
00:20:53,878 --> 00:20:56,339
This'll make you feel like
you can fix the world.
414
00:20:57,340 --> 00:20:59,009
- Have a little taste.
415
00:21:01,136 --> 00:21:03,888
Uh, no thank you.
We're from Lansing.
416
00:21:03,972 --> 00:21:06,891
Shit, the only thing Country
touches is Coca-Cola.
417
00:21:06,975 --> 00:21:08,685
You already know what
my answer's gonna be.
418
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:11,062
- I'll stick with yoga.
- Yeah, hell no.
419
00:21:11,146 --> 00:21:12,707
- Man, keep that shit away from me.
- Dr. Mike: I thought so.
420
00:21:12,731 --> 00:21:15,066
Spencer is a vegetarian.
421
00:21:17,736 --> 00:21:20,196
Vegetarian? So he
don't eat pussy?
422
00:21:22,490 --> 00:21:25,493
So you must be Magic
Johnson, teeth that white.
423
00:21:25,577 --> 00:21:27,245
Richard Pryor, man!
424
00:21:27,328 --> 00:21:29,456
I was at the studio where
they shot "Car Wash."
425
00:21:29,539 --> 00:21:31,541
Hey, Young Buck's
about to be on TV, too.
426
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:34,836
- About to be the white man's shadow.
- Man, it's "White Shadow."
427
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:37,422
And y'all just jealous
'cause it's prime time.
428
00:21:37,505 --> 00:21:40,050
Richard Pryor: They jealous
'cause they don't know what it is!
429
00:21:40,133 --> 00:21:42,218
See, y'all is nigga famous.
430
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:45,263
Me and Magic here, we're
dealing with white famous.
431
00:21:45,346 --> 00:21:47,599
I'm talkin' about,
"old cracker granny
432
00:21:47,682 --> 00:21:49,282
"see your Black ass
in the grocery store,
433
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,394
don't have to clutch
her kid," famous.
434
00:21:51,478 --> 00:21:53,688
Hell, she mighta
ask for a autograph.
435
00:21:56,191 --> 00:21:58,109
Say, let me talk to you.
436
00:21:58,193 --> 00:22:00,403
Uh, yeah, yeah, one sec.
437
00:22:00,487 --> 00:22:02,489
- Oh. Okay. Okay!
- Okay?
438
00:22:02,572 --> 00:22:05,617
You know all this fame
shit ain't natural.
439
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,494
That's the problem.
440
00:22:08,787 --> 00:22:10,747
We ain't born for it.
441
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,165
And we ain't made for it.
442
00:22:12,248 --> 00:22:15,502
And definitely ain't ready
for that shit when it hit us.
443
00:22:15,585 --> 00:22:18,296
But you best believe,
everybody else is.
444
00:22:18,379 --> 00:22:21,299
They all hang around
you like a mojo.
445
00:22:21,382 --> 00:22:24,552
They been waitin'...
to pounce on your ass.
446
00:22:27,389 --> 00:22:29,974
What's your real name, Magic?
447
00:22:30,058 --> 00:22:33,603
- Earvin.
- Say "presto" to that motherfucker.
448
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:35,438
He's gone.
449
00:22:35,522 --> 00:22:38,441
That's the first cost
of doin' business
450
00:22:38,525 --> 00:22:40,151
with the white man.
451
00:22:41,277 --> 00:22:43,363
Magic! Magic, come on over!
452
00:22:43,446 --> 00:22:45,990
I wanna introduce
you to somebody!
453
00:22:46,074 --> 00:22:47,700
You're gonna love
him. Such a sweet kid.
454
00:22:47,784 --> 00:22:49,744
Run along. Whitey
needs his shadow.
455
00:22:49,828 --> 00:22:52,372
Jerry: Magic, these are some
important friends of mine.
456
00:22:52,455 --> 00:22:54,374
- Gents, this is Magic Johnson.
- Hello.
457
00:22:54,457 --> 00:22:56,876
Let me tell you
something about this kid.
458
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,337
Every company in the S&P
459
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:01,214
is banging down his door
460
00:23:01,297 --> 00:23:05,009
to try to get that
smile in their ads.
461
00:23:05,093 --> 00:23:07,137
But, guess what?
462
00:23:07,220 --> 00:23:09,139
- He's all ours.
463
00:23:09,222 --> 00:23:11,057
Those pearly whites
are Lakers property.
464
00:23:11,141 --> 00:23:13,017
Now, I'm no banker.
465
00:23:13,101 --> 00:23:14,981
But, that seems like a
pretty substantial asset,
466
00:23:15,019 --> 00:23:16,563
if you ask me.
467
00:23:16,646 --> 00:23:18,565
What is it this week, kid?
468
00:23:18,648 --> 00:23:20,567
Soda pop? Chewing gum?
469
00:23:20,650 --> 00:23:22,318
- Johnson: Shoes.
- Shoes?
470
00:23:22,402 --> 00:23:24,487
Footwear. That's an
evergreen sector.
471
00:23:24,571 --> 00:23:26,573
Yeah, yeah. I was
actually talking
472
00:23:26,656 --> 00:23:28,199
to this funny cat from Nike.
473
00:23:28,283 --> 00:23:30,034
Oh. Hope you dodged that bullet.
474
00:23:30,118 --> 00:23:33,496
Huckster showed up at the main
branch, hawking his wares.
475
00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:35,206
It'll be lucky to
survive the quarter.
476
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:36,541
Yeah. Right.
477
00:23:36,624 --> 00:23:40,295
He's just another fraud
with a pipe dream.
478
00:23:42,130 --> 00:23:44,048
Listen, hotshot, we've
kept you long enough.
479
00:23:44,132 --> 00:23:47,135
The ladies are gettin'
restless. We'll let you go.
480
00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:48,595
Hi.
481
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:51,097
- Hello, sweetheart, how are you?
- You gonna introduce me?
482
00:23:51,181 --> 00:23:53,516
- Well, actually, I was about to...
- Cindy Day.
483
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,810
- Cindy Day. Enchanté.
- Mariani: Frank.
484
00:23:55,894 --> 00:23:58,730
- Cindy: Enchanté.
- You guys know each other?
485
00:23:58,813 --> 00:24:00,607
Yeah, she's my
date for the night.
486
00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:02,835
- Jerry: Fantastic.
- I'm his date for the night. Okay.
487
00:24:02,859 --> 00:24:06,529
- Yeah.
- Did you tell them I wash your little drawers?
488
00:24:06,613 --> 00:24:08,364
- Cindy.
- I also wash his plate. It's okay.
489
00:24:08,448 --> 00:24:11,451
- Cindy, I just met them...
- It's okay. Do y'all have children?
490
00:24:11,534 --> 00:24:13,828
- Bankers: Yes. Yes.
- Cindy: Yes. We, uh,
491
00:24:13,912 --> 00:24:16,873
we should start signing
autographs, right?
492
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:19,042
Jerry: That's actually
a great idea, Cindy.
493
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:20,543
You guys want a
couple autographs?
494
00:24:20,627 --> 00:24:21,961
- That'd be great.
- Sure.
495
00:24:22,045 --> 00:24:23,147
- Cindy: Okay.
- You don't mind, do you?
496
00:24:23,171 --> 00:24:25,215
- Of course not.
- Jerry: Alright, cool.
497
00:24:25,298 --> 00:24:28,426
- I'll get some menus over here.
- Yeah...
498
00:24:28,509 --> 00:24:31,554
- Do anybody got a pen?
- I got a pen.
499
00:24:31,638 --> 00:24:32,948
- She has a pen.
- Jerry: Look at that.
500
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:35,600
- Cindy: Y'all got some paper?
501
00:24:35,683 --> 00:24:38,061
Jerry: You're about the prettiest
publicist I've ever met.
502
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:41,731
- Somethin' else.
503
00:24:41,814 --> 00:24:43,358
- We? We...
504
00:24:43,441 --> 00:24:45,628
We signing autographs now? Fuck you
famous for? 'Cause I musta forgot.
505
00:24:45,652 --> 00:24:48,112
Calm... calm down, okay, I
was... I was only trying to help.
506
00:24:48,196 --> 00:24:50,240
Ain't ask for your help!
507
00:24:50,323 --> 00:24:51,407
I ain't need it!
508
00:24:51,491 --> 00:24:52,617
You and your pops both.
509
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:54,494
- Coming all this way to visit.
510
00:24:54,577 --> 00:24:57,247
- Just trying to lock me down.
- To what?
511
00:24:57,330 --> 00:24:58,414
You heard him.
512
00:24:58,498 --> 00:25:00,667
One minute, we talkin' business.
513
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:03,211
The next, he on about you
and me, talking about...
514
00:25:03,294 --> 00:25:05,356
: "Be smarter
and keep everybody happy."
515
00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:07,882
I didn't put him up to
that. I sw... I swear!
516
00:25:07,966 --> 00:25:11,594
The trouble ain't me! It's
all y'all wanting a piece!
517
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:13,972
- I don't want anything.
- Like hell you don't!
518
00:25:14,055 --> 00:25:16,557
You won't Magic just
like everybody else.
519
00:25:16,641 --> 00:25:19,352
Sell they shit.
Impress your daddy.
520
00:25:19,435 --> 00:25:21,729
- At least be real about this shit!
- I want you.
521
00:25:23,231 --> 00:25:24,524
Earvin.
522
00:25:26,317 --> 00:25:27,944
Earvin, I...
523
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:29,737
Earvin, I love you. Earvin...
524
00:25:29,821 --> 00:25:31,990
How the fuck you love me
when you don't even know me?!
525
00:25:33,825 --> 00:25:37,870
If I was picking up trash in Lansing,
you think you'd still be here?
526
00:25:37,954 --> 00:25:40,748
Washing my dishes,
cleaning my drawers?
527
00:25:40,832 --> 00:25:44,002
All while I'm in the other
room, talking to Cookie?
528
00:25:48,298 --> 00:25:49,924
Uh-huh. Hm.
529
00:25:51,009 --> 00:25:53,803
How's she doin'?
530
00:25:53,886 --> 00:25:55,388
That's the man you lov...
531
00:25:56,723 --> 00:25:58,641
That's the man you love.
532
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:04,188
Leave me the fuck alone!
533
00:26:12,196 --> 00:26:14,741
Cindy: Yeah.
534
00:26:14,824 --> 00:26:17,285
Yeah, that's the man I love.
535
00:26:23,541 --> 00:26:26,085
- Johnson: Cindy...
- Cindy: Mm-hm?
536
00:26:26,169 --> 00:26:27,628
Why?
537
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:39,098
Because I see what you don't.
538
00:26:44,187 --> 00:26:47,023
Hey. Look at me.
539
00:26:51,277 --> 00:26:52,612
I see you.
540
00:28:24,078 --> 00:28:25,455
Magic!
541
00:28:33,379 --> 00:28:35,715
Jerry: You want to win
friends and influence people?
542
00:28:35,798 --> 00:28:37,425
Read the book.
543
00:28:37,508 --> 00:28:40,261
You want to sell the Great
Western Bank on basketball?
544
00:28:40,344 --> 00:28:42,180
Just get 'em laid.
545
00:28:42,263 --> 00:28:43,431
Hey!
546
00:28:43,514 --> 00:28:46,017
- Look what I got here!
- Alright.
547
00:28:47,810 --> 00:28:50,480
Okay, so this is what I
can offer you, Mister...
548
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:52,440
Ah! Ah! Ah! Doctor.
549
00:28:52,523 --> 00:28:54,275
- Doctor.
- Thank you.
550
00:28:54,358 --> 00:28:56,569
Dr. Buss.
551
00:28:57,487 --> 00:28:59,071
Six-month extension.
552
00:29:01,657 --> 00:29:03,367
What'd I tell you?
553
00:29:04,202 --> 00:29:05,703
At 30%.
554
00:29:07,747 --> 00:29:09,582
Mariani: That's a
million bucks in vig.
555
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:12,668
Wesley: Mm, yeah, which is
why if you're the businessman
556
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:16,214
that you say you are,
then you'll turn us down,
557
00:29:16,297 --> 00:29:19,842
and we'll see you in
bankruptcy.
558
00:29:21,844 --> 00:29:23,638
I'll tell you what.
559
00:29:23,721 --> 00:29:27,642
You make it June,
and we got a deal.
560
00:29:27,725 --> 00:29:29,894
Can I ask why?
561
00:29:29,977 --> 00:29:31,270
Because in May,
562
00:29:31,354 --> 00:29:33,064
we're gonna win
the Championship.
563
00:29:33,147 --> 00:29:34,357
Mm...
564
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,817
And then, I'm gonna need
a couple weeks' vacation
565
00:29:36,901 --> 00:29:39,487
before I take a
flight to Sacramento,
566
00:29:39,570 --> 00:29:41,364
walk into your office,
567
00:29:41,447 --> 00:29:44,450
and make you beg to
keep our business.
568
00:29:49,622 --> 00:29:50,748
Well...
569
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:56,295
I hope you keep winning.
570
00:29:57,713 --> 00:29:59,632
Jerry: Count on it.
571
00:30:03,094 --> 00:30:05,221
- Come on.
- Thank you, Wes.
572
00:30:06,556 --> 00:30:09,684
Mariani: You see? Not a problem.
573
00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:18,943
What the fuck is
this clown doing?
574
00:30:19,026 --> 00:30:20,987
Oh, you got to be...
Come on, you got me!
575
00:30:21,070 --> 00:30:23,048
The buzzards catch you out
here with that sad sack look
576
00:30:23,072 --> 00:30:25,199
on your fuckin' face, you'll
be in tomorrow's paper.
577
00:30:25,283 --> 00:30:27,043
- It was kind of a tough night.
- Yeah, well,
578
00:30:27,118 --> 00:30:29,662
I hate to break it to you, but
there's a shit storm blowing in.
579
00:30:29,745 --> 00:30:31,265
Bill's asked me to
walk you through it.
580
00:30:31,289 --> 00:30:33,207
Fuckin' hurry up! You're
not a duck! Come on.
581
00:30:33,291 --> 00:30:35,459
- Put this on. That's Missoni.
- Westhead: Alright.
582
00:30:35,543 --> 00:30:38,129
Jerry West: Fuck, don't stretch
it. It's cashmere. Come on...
583
00:30:38,212 --> 00:30:40,965
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Jerry,
the hounds are waiting.
584
00:30:41,048 --> 00:30:43,134
West: It's a stakeout.
585
00:30:43,217 --> 00:30:45,803
You always meet the
buzzards on your own terms.
586
00:30:45,886 --> 00:30:49,432
Here we go. The important thing
is to project a sense of calm.
587
00:30:49,515 --> 00:30:50,955
You're not just
talking to the media.
588
00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:53,120
You're talking to the team,
plus every other motherfucking
589
00:30:53,144 --> 00:30:54,228
up-and-comer in the league.
590
00:30:54,312 --> 00:30:56,063
They're smelling blood,
and we're the meat.
591
00:30:56,147 --> 00:30:57,547
Well, they don't
know Jack McKinney.
592
00:30:57,607 --> 00:31:00,192
He's gonna be up and yelling
at that radio by halftime.
593
00:31:00,276 --> 00:31:02,361
You got your fucking
degree from where, Doc?
594
00:31:02,445 --> 00:31:04,238
- Huh? Oh, hang on.
- Huh?
595
00:31:04,322 --> 00:31:06,115
"Assistant coach
promises quick return."
596
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:07,325
Boom! There's your headline!
597
00:31:07,408 --> 00:31:09,177
And then tomorrow, when
he's not there, what then?
598
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:10,536
Boom! Panic! Chaos!
599
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:12,705
Then buzzards are fucking
you in your fat little ass!
600
00:31:12,788 --> 00:31:15,207
- I don't wanna be buzzard-fucked.
- No!
601
00:31:15,291 --> 00:31:16,375
Don't oversell.
602
00:31:16,459 --> 00:31:18,836
- But what am I supposed to say?
- As little as possible.
603
00:31:18,919 --> 00:31:20,421
Jack is in the best
of hands, okay?
604
00:31:20,504 --> 00:31:22,381
Jack is on the mend,
and in the meantime,
605
00:31:22,465 --> 00:31:23,841
I'm holding down the fort,
606
00:31:23,924 --> 00:31:26,218
confident that the team
is behind the both of us,
607
00:31:26,302 --> 00:31:29,305
110%. Yeah, just like that.
608
00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:30,931
- Okay.
- You want to do it?
609
00:31:31,015 --> 00:31:33,601
Fuck no! You
out of your fucking...
610
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:35,853
No, just look, you know...
611
00:31:35,936 --> 00:31:37,563
Take it easy, okay?
612
00:31:37,647 --> 00:31:40,358
Alright? You're a natural.
613
00:31:40,441 --> 00:31:43,069
And if the press happen to hang
you up on anything, just, well,
614
00:31:43,152 --> 00:31:45,196
go to your comfort zone.
615
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:46,989
What's that?
616
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:54,205
Jack McKinney is on the mend.
617
00:31:56,332 --> 00:31:57,583
I'm holding down the fort,
618
00:31:57,667 --> 00:32:00,419
and I know that the
franchise is behind us all.
619
00:32:00,503 --> 00:32:02,630
- Both of us...
620
00:32:02,713 --> 00:32:04,590
Franchise is behind
us both 100%.
621
00:32:04,674 --> 00:32:06,360
So, there's nothing to the
reports that he's in a coma?
622
00:32:06,384 --> 00:32:08,445
- How about these rumors that Jack's fighting for his life?
- Rumors?
623
00:32:08,469 --> 00:32:10,322
You know what? I'm not gonna
get caught up in rumors.
624
00:32:10,346 --> 00:32:13,599
We're going to focus
on the task ahead.
625
00:32:13,683 --> 00:32:16,435
And for me right
now, the task ahead
626
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:17,812
well, it's Denver.
627
00:32:17,895 --> 00:32:20,272
And, uh, Skywalker Thompson.
628
00:32:20,356 --> 00:32:23,150
- He went on a
tear last night in Utah.
629
00:32:23,234 --> 00:32:24,568
Yeah, he sure did.
630
00:32:24,652 --> 00:32:26,570
I think that's probably why, uh,
631
00:32:26,654 --> 00:32:29,573
that's probably why Jack
McKinney is playing hooky
632
00:32:29,657 --> 00:32:31,742
because, uh, he wants
to avoid a repeat.
633
00:32:31,826 --> 00:32:33,546
So, you and Jack talked
about the Utah game?
634
00:32:33,577 --> 00:32:35,931
- Does that mean he's conscious?
- That's after the accident?
635
00:32:38,290 --> 00:32:39,768
- What are you not telling us?
- Westhead: I'm not saying...
636
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:41,585
Jack McKinney is on the mend.
637
00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:44,109
- What'd you tell him to say?
- I didn't tell him to say shit.
638
00:32:44,171 --> 00:32:46,525
- Is he in critical condition?
- Paul, you gotta give us something.
639
00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:48,759
Is he in a vegetable
state or what?
640
00:32:48,843 --> 00:32:50,344
Westhead: I...
641
00:32:50,428 --> 00:32:53,305
- What do we tell the fans?
- Just tell them...
642
00:32:59,019 --> 00:33:01,522
"If it be now,"
643
00:33:01,605 --> 00:33:03,441
"'tis not to come."
644
00:33:05,234 --> 00:33:07,570
"If it be not to come"
645
00:33:07,653 --> 00:33:09,113
"it will be now."
646
00:33:11,073 --> 00:33:13,576
"If it not be now,
647
00:33:13,659 --> 00:33:16,454
yet it will come."
648
00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:19,665
- Come on, Paul.
649
00:33:19,749 --> 00:33:21,917
"The readiness
650
00:33:22,501 --> 00:33:24,420
is all."
651
00:33:24,503 --> 00:33:26,523
- Get up there. Get him off the stage now.
- Westhead: Thank you.
652
00:33:26,547 --> 00:33:27,840
West: Okay! Okay!
653
00:33:27,923 --> 00:33:30,342
We'll see you all at
the game tonight, huh?
654
00:33:30,426 --> 00:33:32,303
What the fuck was that?
655
00:33:32,386 --> 00:33:34,972
- Westhead: My comfort zone.
- Will he be able to coach again?
656
00:33:35,055 --> 00:33:37,433
- That's it, folks, thank you.
- Wow...
657
00:33:37,516 --> 00:33:39,411
Reporter : Wise words
from Jack McKinney's substitute.
658
00:33:39,435 --> 00:33:41,896
This time last year, he
was teaching Shakespeare.
659
00:33:41,979 --> 00:33:45,733
- Tonight, he steps in as...
- Oh, that oughta keep 'em chasing their tails.
660
00:33:45,816 --> 00:33:47,496
Yeah, well, I wish they
were the only ones.
661
00:33:47,568 --> 00:33:49,361
I spent all night
662
00:33:49,445 --> 00:33:51,322
trying to decipher
663
00:33:51,405 --> 00:33:53,783
what the hunting pattern
of the Bengal tiger
664
00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:57,995
has to do with keeping
Thompson out of the lane.
665
00:33:58,078 --> 00:34:01,040
- Well, you stick one there, he'll probably avoid it.
666
00:34:01,123 --> 00:34:02,349
Thanks.
667
00:34:02,374 --> 00:34:04,548
This is Jack shit.
Alright? It's not for you.
668
00:34:04,573 --> 00:34:06,032
- Come on! Goddammit.
- Let it go.
669
00:34:06,057 --> 00:34:08,518
Let it go. What would you do?
670
00:34:09,427 --> 00:34:11,388
- What I would do...
- Your show.
671
00:34:14,136 --> 00:34:17,252
If it was me, I would... I
would do something off the wall.
672
00:34:17,277 --> 00:34:20,028
- I would... I would start Cooper.
- Great.
673
00:34:20,434 --> 00:34:21,870
No, you know what? I
would play it safe,
674
00:34:21,894 --> 00:34:23,646
and I would stick with Haywood.
675
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:26,543
Alright.
676
00:34:28,734 --> 00:34:30,019
No, Cooper.
677
00:34:31,237 --> 00:34:32,644
Or Haywood?
678
00:34:33,835 --> 00:34:35,754
That's a good idea.
679
00:34:38,291 --> 00:34:40,277
Fuck!
680
00:34:40,535 --> 00:34:41,911
You want the job?
681
00:34:49,046 --> 00:34:51,191
Jack McKinney: You know what
you could do with Thompson?
682
00:34:51,215 --> 00:34:54,218
Drive him baseline to his
weak hand for the trap.
683
00:34:54,301 --> 00:34:56,178
Haywood and Cooper double-team.
684
00:34:56,262 --> 00:34:58,055
He's weaker when he
moves to the left,
685
00:34:58,139 --> 00:34:59,557
so you force him that way.
686
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,559
Overplay the passing lanes.
687
00:35:03,435 --> 00:35:06,605
You know what... You know what
you could do with Thompson?
688
00:35:11,445 --> 00:35:12,905
The team is here.
689
00:35:13,153 --> 00:35:14,321
Westhead: Okay.
690
00:35:14,405 --> 00:35:15,447
Oh...
691
00:35:15,531 --> 00:35:17,658
- I'm going to take Cran home.
- Yeah.
692
00:35:17,741 --> 00:35:20,343
Yeah, she... She
definitely needs a break.
693
00:35:20,368 --> 00:35:22,286
- Cassie: You do, too.
- Yeah.
694
00:35:26,959 --> 00:35:28,627
Nothing good can come
from sitting here,
695
00:35:28,711 --> 00:35:30,762
watching him like this.
696
00:35:31,338 --> 00:35:35,259
"I make as much use of
it as many a man doth
697
00:35:36,093 --> 00:35:37,824
a memento mori."
698
00:35:38,903 --> 00:35:40,321
It's a Death's Head.
699
00:35:40,346 --> 00:35:42,765
Elizabethans used
to put it everywhere
700
00:35:43,017 --> 00:35:46,979
with that inscription.
Memento mori. "Remember"
701
00:35:48,022 --> 00:35:50,074
"you will die."
702
00:35:50,399 --> 00:35:52,167
Shakespeare sealed
the words in wax
703
00:35:52,192 --> 00:35:54,695
on everything he wrote
after his son died.
704
00:35:54,778 --> 00:35:57,531
No, there's something
beautiful in that.
705
00:35:57,615 --> 00:36:00,367
Life is fleeting, so
make every moment count.
706
00:36:01,327 --> 00:36:03,537
It meant the opposite.
707
00:36:03,621 --> 00:36:06,040
Life is meaningless.
708
00:36:06,123 --> 00:36:08,167
All earthly things are vanity.
709
00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:10,461
Cassie: Well, that's
less cheerful.
710
00:36:11,712 --> 00:36:13,380
Westhead: I, uh...
711
00:36:16,842 --> 00:36:19,136
I can't believe I have
to coach this game.
712
00:36:21,055 --> 00:36:22,890
: You can do it.
713
00:36:26,727 --> 00:36:29,146
Spencer Haywood: You
shakin' like a flea-bit dog.
714
00:36:29,229 --> 00:36:30,814
Michael Cooper: It's all over.
715
00:36:30,898 --> 00:36:33,317
Man, you don't know that.
Coach could pull through.
716
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,486
No, not-not Coach.
717
00:36:35,569 --> 00:36:36,946
It's just...
718
00:36:37,029 --> 00:36:39,949
Me, man. Westhead ain't no fan.
719
00:36:40,032 --> 00:36:41,450
What makes you say that?
720
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:44,036
I seen it in camp. The
way he was looking at me,
721
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:45,871
like I was a loose
thread on a sweater.
722
00:36:45,955 --> 00:36:48,457
I bet you he can't
wait to cut me off.
723
00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:49,833
Is that right?
724
00:36:50,417 --> 00:36:52,169
Hm. Brother,
725
00:36:52,253 --> 00:36:55,297
I ain't known you but a
minute, but what I can say
726
00:36:55,381 --> 00:36:56,632
is you are the nervousest cat
727
00:36:56,715 --> 00:36:59,385
in a building full
of people dying.
728
00:36:59,468 --> 00:37:02,638
Didn't nobody end up
in the NBA by accident.
729
00:37:02,721 --> 00:37:04,765
I don't know, Spence.
Maybe I'm the first.
730
00:37:04,848 --> 00:37:09,144
No, you're not. You supposed
to be here. You understand?
731
00:37:09,228 --> 00:37:11,063
McKinney or no McKinney.
732
00:37:11,146 --> 00:37:12,856
Coach is just a coach.
733
00:37:12,940 --> 00:37:14,858
All the damn talent you got?
734
00:37:14,942 --> 00:37:17,695
Any fool could see
it! Even Westhead!
735
00:37:25,911 --> 00:37:28,497
Hey. Uh...
736
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:31,667
Wanna thank you all
for coming. Um...
737
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:33,836
I know that it's going
to mean a lot to Jack.
738
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,380
How is he?
739
00:37:37,715 --> 00:37:39,383
He's better. He's
better. Thank you.
740
00:37:39,466 --> 00:37:42,720
Um, he's probably not
well enough for visitors
741
00:37:42,803 --> 00:37:45,097
just yet. So, let's
keep him in our thoughts
742
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:47,474
and, uh, I'll see
you at the game.
743
00:37:54,273 --> 00:37:55,524
Oh...
744
00:37:55,607 --> 00:38:00,029
I-I'm sorry. I hope I'm not,
uh, interrupting.
745
00:38:00,112 --> 00:38:01,739
These are from Magic.
746
00:38:01,822 --> 00:38:04,366
He is so sorry that
he couldn't be here,
747
00:38:04,450 --> 00:38:06,160
but he just wanted to make sure
748
00:38:06,243 --> 00:38:08,370
that Coach McKinney knows
749
00:38:08,454 --> 00:38:10,581
how much he means to us.
750
00:38:10,664 --> 00:38:13,792
So, you know, there's some
eucalyptus in there, so
751
00:38:13,876 --> 00:38:16,045
that's good for his breathing.
752
00:38:27,848 --> 00:38:30,893
Dr. Day: I think you're
making a wise choice.
753
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:34,396
So what I'm supposed to say to
the ones I ain't going with?
754
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,856
Nothing.
755
00:38:35,939 --> 00:38:37,900
You can't muddy up that
million-dollar smile
756
00:38:37,983 --> 00:38:39,985
- delivering bad news.
- Alright.
757
00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:42,780
- Right on!
- That can be my job.
758
00:38:49,578 --> 00:38:51,747
Gentlemen! Welcome.
759
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:54,249
Come on in! Son,
760
00:38:54,333 --> 00:38:55,626
on behalf of Converse,
761
00:38:55,709 --> 00:38:58,629
we are just thrilled to
welcome you into our stable.
762
00:38:59,922 --> 00:39:02,424
I think we are gonna make
a lot of hay.
763
00:39:02,508 --> 00:39:04,009
Before we put pen to paper,
764
00:39:04,093 --> 00:39:06,178
I took the liberty of
making some adjustments.
765
00:39:06,261 --> 00:39:09,515
For starters, we've learned
that Larry Bird has agreed
766
00:39:09,598 --> 00:39:11,975
to $90,000, and we believe
767
00:39:12,059 --> 00:39:13,727
we should command 100.
768
00:39:16,396 --> 00:39:18,941
- Well, that's quite an ask.
- Well
769
00:39:19,024 --> 00:39:21,276
my man is quite an athlete.
770
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,195
Well, you drive a hard bargain,
771
00:39:23,278 --> 00:39:24,988
but you got yourself a deal.
772
00:39:27,533 --> 00:39:28,826
That's what I'm talkin' about!
773
00:39:28,909 --> 00:39:31,203
- Yeah.
- Johnson: Some notes.
774
00:39:31,286 --> 00:39:34,414
So, I was thinking...
775
00:39:34,498 --> 00:39:37,126
We put my name right
there on the shoe.
776
00:39:37,209 --> 00:39:38,502
I'm thinking...
777
00:39:39,586 --> 00:39:41,171
"The Magic."
778
00:39:43,715 --> 00:39:46,760
I see it. Look, "The Magic."
779
00:39:46,844 --> 00:39:48,929
Ain't no one else done that!
780
00:39:49,012 --> 00:39:50,305
Al Harden: Well, that's an idea!
781
00:39:50,389 --> 00:39:52,808
We'll run it up the
flagpole back at corporate.
782
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:56,520
But first, let's get
you on the dotted line.
783
00:39:56,603 --> 00:39:58,063
Dr. Day: To Magic.
784
00:39:58,147 --> 00:39:59,439
You won't regret it.
785
00:40:09,658 --> 00:40:10,784
He regrets it.
786
00:40:21,044 --> 00:40:23,630
Jerry: My father
Lydus was a genius.
787
00:40:25,299 --> 00:40:28,051
He had a head for numbers.
788
00:40:28,135 --> 00:40:29,988
I think he liked numbers
more than he liked people,
789
00:40:30,012 --> 00:40:31,638
far as I can tell.
790
00:40:31,722 --> 00:40:34,308
Definitely liked numbers
more than he liked me.
791
00:40:36,894 --> 00:40:39,271
Left us high and
dry when I was born.
792
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,816
Mom was 19.
793
00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:45,611
No high school education.
794
00:40:45,694 --> 00:40:47,905
Now, she's got
this kid to raise.
795
00:40:49,573 --> 00:40:51,783
Middle of the fucking Dust Bowl.
796
00:40:55,662 --> 00:40:57,331
But, she got us here.
797
00:40:59,082 --> 00:41:00,751
She got us here.
798
00:41:00,834 --> 00:41:04,213
- That's one tough broad.
- Doctor: Dr. Buss?
799
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,964
Hey.
800
00:41:07,507 --> 00:41:08,717
How's she doin'?
801
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,844
Exhausted, but coherent.
802
00:41:10,928 --> 00:41:13,096
There's no outward
sign of trauma.
803
00:41:13,180 --> 00:41:16,099
Oh, good. Good. Yeah. Right?
804
00:41:16,183 --> 00:41:17,935
Doctor: Yeah...
805
00:41:18,018 --> 00:41:20,979
I figured she just
forgot to eat.
806
00:41:21,063 --> 00:41:23,899
- Could be.
807
00:41:23,982 --> 00:41:26,485
Why don't you bring her
by for a full workup?
808
00:41:26,568 --> 00:41:28,695
In the meantime,
809
00:41:28,779 --> 00:41:30,906
take care of yourself, too.
810
00:41:30,989 --> 00:41:32,282
You look tired.
811
00:41:32,366 --> 00:41:34,451
See if you can keep
it to a pack a day.
812
00:41:35,827 --> 00:41:37,287
Sure thing, Doc.
813
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:42,042
See?
814
00:41:42,125 --> 00:41:43,627
She's gonna be fine.
815
00:41:43,710 --> 00:41:46,129
Jessie: I always wanted
to go out with a bang.
816
00:41:48,048 --> 00:41:50,842
Instead, I seem to be rotting.
817
00:41:50,926 --> 00:41:53,595
No. Bullshit.
818
00:41:53,679 --> 00:41:55,722
Alcohol is a preservative.
819
00:41:58,517 --> 00:42:01,478
Well, at least I
taught you to laugh.
820
00:42:01,561 --> 00:42:03,981
I know I fucked up
everything else.
821
00:42:04,064 --> 00:42:05,565
Come on.
822
00:42:07,359 --> 00:42:09,069
Don't talk like that.
823
00:42:10,654 --> 00:42:12,781
You got me where I am today.
824
00:42:13,699 --> 00:42:15,284
Hm...
825
00:42:23,125 --> 00:42:24,876
Sorry, I'll wait outside.
826
00:42:40,809 --> 00:42:42,436
Jeanie: It's my fault.
827
00:42:46,815 --> 00:42:48,400
Jerry: Just a spell.
828
00:42:49,901 --> 00:42:52,362
No, it wasn't the first time.
829
00:42:53,613 --> 00:42:56,158
Opening night, she didn't
know what day it was.
830
00:42:57,784 --> 00:42:59,536
She was out of it.
831
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,500
I should've told you, but I
didn't want to ruin your big day.
832
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,506
Jerry: Jeanie.
833
00:43:12,966 --> 00:43:14,343
Get it together.
834
00:43:14,426 --> 00:43:16,261
- She's gonna be okay.
835
00:44:16,405 --> 00:44:17,739
What's goin' on, Coach?
836
00:44:19,408 --> 00:44:20,951
Game day. Hey.
837
00:44:21,034 --> 00:44:22,744
Okay.
838
00:44:23,662 --> 00:44:25,163
Gentlemen...
839
00:44:29,835 --> 00:44:33,255
I know that it's hard right now.
840
00:44:33,338 --> 00:44:35,549
I know that our
hearts are heavy.
841
00:44:37,843 --> 00:44:40,345
But, we got a job to do.
842
00:44:40,429 --> 00:44:42,639
And there is nothing...
There is nothing!
843
00:44:42,722 --> 00:44:46,601
That Jack McKinney would
want more than a win.
844
00:44:46,685 --> 00:44:48,437
- That's right.
- Yep!
845
00:44:49,563 --> 00:44:52,065
So, let's take a minute.
Let's take a minute.
846
00:44:54,484 --> 00:44:56,778
"Give sorrow words.
847
00:44:56,862 --> 00:44:58,863
"The grief that does not speak,
848
00:44:59,072 --> 00:45:02,617
whispers the o'erfraught
heart and bids it break."
849
00:45:04,035 --> 00:45:05,579
Player: Hm?
850
00:45:06,538 --> 00:45:08,331
So, Coach dead?
851
00:45:08,415 --> 00:45:09,749
No. No, no, no.
852
00:45:09,833 --> 00:45:12,794
- No. No, no. Not at all.
853
00:45:12,878 --> 00:45:15,338
Yeah. Who's guarding Thompson?
854
00:45:15,422 --> 00:45:17,924
- I got him, Coach.
- Hell no. You the slowest in conditioning.
855
00:45:18,008 --> 00:45:20,027
- Who you talking about?
- Jim Chones: Bunny is your man.
856
00:45:20,051 --> 00:45:21,219
- You crazy.
- Cooper.
857
00:45:22,888 --> 00:45:24,848
You're starting at four.
858
00:45:24,931 --> 00:45:28,143
- Jim, you're next in the rotation.
- What?
859
00:45:28,226 --> 00:45:30,687
Haywood: Where
that put me, Coach?
860
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:32,522
Westhead: It puts
you on the bench.
861
00:45:32,606 --> 00:45:34,107
- Whoa.
- Brutal.
862
00:45:34,191 --> 00:45:35,400
Westhead: Everybody else,
863
00:45:35,484 --> 00:45:36,943
same as usual. Okay?
864
00:45:37,027 --> 00:45:39,821
- Alright, come on, bring it in. Bring it in!
865
00:45:39,905 --> 00:45:42,240
Jack on three! One, two, three.
866
00:45:42,324 --> 00:45:43,700
All: Jack!
867
00:45:43,783 --> 00:45:45,660
- Hey. Hey, Paul?
868
00:45:45,744 --> 00:45:47,579
Cooper: I can take
Thompson. Whoo!
869
00:45:47,662 --> 00:45:49,206
Is there a problem?
870
00:45:49,289 --> 00:45:51,833
Well, I'm not sure if you heard
what I said back at the hospital
871
00:45:51,917 --> 00:45:53,376
between me and the young blood,
872
00:45:53,460 --> 00:45:56,087
but if it's putting us
off on the wrong foot...
873
00:45:56,171 --> 00:45:57,923
Oh...
874
00:45:58,006 --> 00:46:00,800
No, no. This is a... This
is a basketball decision.
875
00:46:01,593 --> 00:46:02,969
It's nothing personal.
876
00:46:04,888 --> 00:46:06,306
Okay?
877
00:46:08,517 --> 00:46:10,393
Hey, uh, Young Buck?
878
00:46:10,477 --> 00:46:13,146
You gonna play this one, or you
gonna let your girl do it for you?
879
00:46:14,773 --> 00:46:16,274
Girl?
880
00:46:16,358 --> 00:46:18,252
Jamaal Wilkes: You gonna send
your squeeze to the hospital
881
00:46:18,276 --> 00:46:19,337
and think we ain't gonna say?
882
00:46:19,361 --> 00:46:20,862
Chones: Fine ol' redbone, too.
883
00:46:20,946 --> 00:46:22,489
You lucky I ain't holler at her.
884
00:46:22,572 --> 00:46:25,659
- Norman Nixon: Well, she sat next to me, so...
- Cindy?
885
00:46:25,742 --> 00:46:27,345
I ain't even know she
went to the hospital.
886
00:46:27,369 --> 00:46:29,829
With 10 funerals of flowers.
887
00:46:29,913 --> 00:46:31,498
Rip Van Winkle ever wake up,
888
00:46:31,581 --> 00:46:33,341
- he gonna think he in a garden.
889
00:46:33,375 --> 00:46:34,918
Nice touch, Young Blood.
890
00:46:35,001 --> 00:46:37,337
Not as nice as showing
up yourself though.
891
00:46:37,420 --> 00:46:39,297
Nixon: Say it again, Cap.
892
00:46:45,470 --> 00:46:47,847
Player: I'd like to
be friends with her!
893
00:46:47,931 --> 00:46:49,349
Hey, babe.
894
00:46:51,184 --> 00:46:52,310
Hey.
895
00:46:52,394 --> 00:46:54,104
What's... What's wrong?
896
00:46:54,187 --> 00:46:56,064
Y'all brought too many flowers.
897
00:46:56,147 --> 00:46:57,792
- I ain't asked you to do that.
- Well, I was...
898
00:46:57,816 --> 00:46:59,734
You got me up in
there looking crazy
899
00:46:59,818 --> 00:47:01,027
in front of all my teammates.
900
00:47:01,111 --> 00:47:02,445
I was just trying
to be gracious.
901
00:47:02,529 --> 00:47:05,156
- I was representing you...
- Dr. Day: There he is!
902
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:06,825
The Converse Man.
903
00:47:06,908 --> 00:47:09,286
The lovely young Miss Buss
has been giving me the tour.
904
00:47:10,328 --> 00:47:12,247
Nice shoes. Congratulations.
905
00:47:12,330 --> 00:47:14,666
Thanks. I got some good advice.
906
00:47:14,749 --> 00:47:16,686
Nonsense. He's a natural.
Between the three of you,
907
00:47:16,710 --> 00:47:19,004
our future is in good hands.
908
00:47:21,548 --> 00:47:23,800
Why don't I, uh, show
you to your seats?
909
00:47:23,883 --> 00:47:24,968
Thank you.
910
00:47:26,219 --> 00:47:27,596
Hey, Doc. You got a minute?
911
00:47:27,679 --> 00:47:29,514
Dr. Day: Something
the matter, son?
912
00:47:30,307 --> 00:47:31,516
Nah...
913
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,603
Look... Yeah.
914
00:47:35,270 --> 00:47:36,771
Look,
915
00:47:36,855 --> 00:47:38,815
I appreciate you,
916
00:47:38,898 --> 00:47:40,900
and everything you
done did for me.
917
00:47:40,984 --> 00:47:43,778
And Cindy is a great girl,
918
00:47:43,862 --> 00:47:45,530
really, really sweet.
919
00:47:45,614 --> 00:47:46,740
But,
920
00:47:46,823 --> 00:47:49,200
if you think we be
more than what we be...
921
00:47:49,284 --> 00:47:51,536
And what would that be?
922
00:47:51,620 --> 00:47:53,580
You helping me with
business and all.
923
00:47:53,663 --> 00:47:56,124
That make you an agent?
924
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,876
I prefer to be a friend.
925
00:47:57,959 --> 00:48:00,337
How much cut a friend get?
926
00:48:00,420 --> 00:48:03,423
The only thing I want that
you can give me is your trust.
927
00:48:03,506 --> 00:48:06,343
We can let the
money come in time,
928
00:48:06,426 --> 00:48:08,511
once you've made plenty more.
929
00:48:11,598 --> 00:48:13,183
And Cindy?
930
00:48:15,018 --> 00:48:17,062
I ain't ready to
settle down yet.
931
00:48:20,357 --> 00:48:23,109
Son, I love my daughter
more than anyone.
932
00:48:23,193 --> 00:48:26,071
I want her to be
happy. But, me and you?
933
00:48:26,154 --> 00:48:28,657
Well, that's another
thing now, isn't it?
934
00:48:29,574 --> 00:48:31,660
- Business.
- That it is.
935
00:48:31,743 --> 00:48:33,662
And I don't see why the
end of one relationship
936
00:48:33,745 --> 00:48:35,580
should sacrifice the other.
937
00:48:38,083 --> 00:48:39,542
Right on.
938
00:48:40,585 --> 00:48:42,379
Think you could tell her for me?
939
00:48:43,421 --> 00:48:45,757
Hey, like you said.
940
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,386
Magic ain't supposed to be
the one to give 'em bad news.
941
00:48:56,142 --> 00:48:58,144
I'll let her down light.
942
00:49:03,316 --> 00:49:06,111
Pryor: Yeah, those is the
Lakers, not the Fakers.
943
00:49:06,194 --> 00:49:07,737
Hey, Black man, Black man,
944
00:49:07,821 --> 00:49:09,989
- Black man.
- Spencer, my main man.
945
00:49:10,073 --> 00:49:12,468
- Oh man.
- I know you've been living like a saint these days,
946
00:49:12,492 --> 00:49:14,577
but if you wanna
celebrate after the game,
947
00:49:14,661 --> 00:49:16,371
party's at my
place in the hills.
948
00:49:16,454 --> 00:49:17,789
Come on up, man. We got it all.
949
00:49:17,872 --> 00:49:20,875
Man, we got white bitches,
7-Up, and cocaine.
950
00:49:24,003 --> 00:49:26,107
- Know what I mean? Know what I mean, Jack?
- Maybe so.
951
00:49:26,131 --> 00:49:32,095
Announcer : Introducing
your Los Angeles Lakers!
952
00:49:51,072 --> 00:49:52,365
- Hey, Bill.
- Jerry.
953
00:49:56,619 --> 00:49:58,830
Some fuckin' day, huh?
954
00:50:00,165 --> 00:50:01,666
Yes, sir.
955
00:50:01,750 --> 00:50:03,853
Chick Hearn : Chick
Hearn along with Pat Riley
956
00:50:03,877 --> 00:50:06,212
here for another game
of Lakers basketball.
957
00:50:06,296 --> 00:50:09,883
Tonight, the team will not be
joined by head coach Jack McKinney.
958
00:50:09,966 --> 00:50:12,051
Our prayers are with him.
But, let's hope the Lakers
959
00:50:12,135 --> 00:50:13,470
won't be needing
any of their own.
960
00:50:13,553 --> 00:50:15,680
The man filling in for
him on the sidelines
961
00:50:15,764 --> 00:50:17,932
will be his assistant.
First name Paul,
962
00:50:18,016 --> 00:50:19,768
last name Westhead.
963
00:50:19,851 --> 00:50:22,312
A few months ago, this guy
was teaching Shakespeare
964
00:50:22,395 --> 00:50:24,272
at La Salle College
in Philadelphia.
965
00:50:24,355 --> 00:50:27,776
Now here he is, coaching one
of the NBA's marquee teams
966
00:50:27,859 --> 00:50:31,112
and trying to hold down the
fort for his friend and mentor,
967
00:50:31,196 --> 00:50:32,947
who, we are told,
is on the mend.
968
00:50:33,031 --> 00:50:35,575
- Well, this one's for you, Jack.
969
00:50:35,658 --> 00:50:38,119
Okay, now both teams
in the center circle.
970
00:50:38,203 --> 00:50:41,831
Here's the tip controlled by Kareem
and this contest is underway.
971
00:50:41,915 --> 00:50:44,000
Magic brings the
ball down the floor.
972
00:51:00,308 --> 00:51:01,643
Jack?
973
00:51:03,937 --> 00:51:06,523
Hey. Jack?
974
00:51:12,654 --> 00:51:14,447
No, Jack.
975
00:51:14,531 --> 00:51:16,157
Help! Jack!
976
00:51:17,951 --> 00:51:19,536
Wake up.
977
00:51:19,619 --> 00:51:20,662
Jack!
978
00:51:20,745 --> 00:51:23,456
Somebody come help
us! Please! Nurse!
979
00:51:23,540 --> 00:51:26,251
Jack! Help us! Jack!
980
00:51:26,334 --> 00:51:29,045
You know what you
could do with Thompson?
981
00:51:29,128 --> 00:51:32,048
Drive him baseline to his
weak hand for the trap.
982
00:51:32,131 --> 00:51:34,259
Haywood and Cooper double-team.
983
00:51:34,342 --> 00:51:36,052
He's weaker when he
goes to the left,
984
00:51:36,135 --> 00:51:37,554
so you force him that way.
985
00:51:37,637 --> 00:51:39,597
You overplay the passing lanes,
986
00:51:39,681 --> 00:51:41,057
beat 'em on the turnovers.
987
00:51:41,140 --> 00:51:43,852
Of course, he won't pass
if Issel's camped out
988
00:51:43,935 --> 00:51:46,896
under the bucket for the
put-back, so you go big!
989
00:51:46,980 --> 00:51:48,523
You put a big man on his ass!
990
00:51:48,606 --> 00:51:50,149
That's why we got Haywood!
991
00:51:50,233 --> 00:51:52,402
So... box out Issel.
992
00:51:54,070 --> 00:51:56,531
Thompson can't beat us himself.
993
00:51:56,614 --> 00:51:58,908
- Like that, see?
- What difference would that make?
994
00:51:58,992 --> 00:52:00,577
You see?
995
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,207
I'd rather talk about Denver.
996
00:52:27,103 --> 00:52:30,607
- Paul, Paul! He's asking for you.
- Okay, okay, okay!
997
00:52:30,690 --> 00:52:31,691
Jack!
998
00:52:31,774 --> 00:52:33,818
Hey. Hi.
999
00:52:33,902 --> 00:52:35,904
Go big...
1000
00:52:35,987 --> 00:52:37,697
Westhead: Sorry, what, Jack?
1001
00:52:37,780 --> 00:52:39,532
Go big...
1002
00:52:39,616 --> 00:52:42,493
Go big against
1003
00:52:43,411 --> 00:52:46,456
against Thompson.
1004
00:52:46,539 --> 00:52:48,249
Denver, go big.
1005
00:52:52,921 --> 00:52:55,131
We, we already
played them, Jack.
1006
00:52:57,300 --> 00:52:59,427
Denver was two weeks ago.
1007
00:53:03,056 --> 00:53:05,141
Fuck my dick.
1008
00:53:07,226 --> 00:53:09,062
Fuck... I came back.
1009
00:53:09,145 --> 00:53:10,980
- I know, I know...
- I came back.
1010
00:53:11,064 --> 00:53:13,274
Westhead: I know... I know...
1011
00:53:15,860 --> 00:53:17,737
Do you guys wanna sign up?
1012
00:53:17,820 --> 00:53:19,656
I think so, when they
migrated to Detroit.
1013
00:53:19,739 --> 00:53:21,950
- Dr. Day: Ms. Kelly!
1014
00:53:23,534 --> 00:53:24,744
Cookie: Dr. Day?
1015
00:53:35,171 --> 00:53:36,714
- What's this?
- Tickets.
1016
00:53:36,798 --> 00:53:38,257
The Lakers are
coming to Detroit,
1017
00:53:38,341 --> 00:53:40,802
and Earvin would
love to have you.
1018
00:53:42,387 --> 00:53:44,013
He would, would he?
1019
00:53:46,057 --> 00:53:48,267
Thought he would be
having your daughter.
1020
00:53:48,768 --> 00:53:50,395
Hm.
1021
00:53:50,478 --> 00:53:53,690
All I can say, young man
has the world at his feet.
1022
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:56,818
He asked me to come here
and give those to you.
1023
00:53:56,901 --> 00:53:58,528
You make of that what you will.
1024
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:05,451
Girl,
1025
00:54:05,535 --> 00:54:07,662
if you don't say yes, I will.
1026
00:54:12,709 --> 00:54:16,713
- Cookie: Tell Earvin I'll think about it!
- Dr. Day: Mm-hmm.
1027
00:54:16,796 --> 00:54:19,090
You have a good day now.
