People, I just got off the phone with Clancy's Furnace Repair.

They can't be here till tomorrow morning.

Jaleesa, it's two degrees outside.

That's two degrees warmer than it is in here.

Look, I'm trying to do the best I can, okay?

This was supposed to be my day off.

Jaleesa, we know. We appreciate it.

God, I can't wait till Walter gets back.

Well. Well.

How many minks gave their lives for that ensemble?

I don't know, Jaleesa.

How many cows gave their lives for your lunch?

Another date with Julian?

The third this week.

Do you gossip bunnies have nothing better to do

than keep track of my life?

We're simply having a cozy dinner

in front of Julian's fireplace.

The fire won't be the only thing heating up his apartment.

How apropos coming from two girls

who are warming themselves up with major appliances.

Whitley.

Julian, right on time.

You didn't have to come in to get me.

I honked, but I think the sound waves froze mid-air.

Boy, it's not much better in here, is it?

Then get out.

Is that for me?

Yes. You can wear it Polynesian style

and pretend like we're dining in the tropics.

Tr�s romantique.

Shall we?

Oh, Dwayne.

Whitley. Julian.

How ya doing?

So, our tropical dinner is awaiting us.

Aloha.

Aloha!

Yeah, aloha.

I hope that flower has med flies.

Oh, Walter, it's about time.

The furnace is out. The people can't fix it till tomorrow.

Where have you been?

You were to be back from North Carolina yesterday.

That was my plan.

But Slim Jim had a different idea.

- Wait. It wasn't all my fault. - That's right.

Your parents share the blame.

Walt and Dwayne had a little problem.

Everything was fine once Colonel Taylor bailed us out.

- Bailed you out? - As in jail?

Walter, you got arrested?

It was nothing. We had a little misunderstanding.

There's nothing to tell.

The punch missed by a mile.

Whoa. The punch?

You were in a fight?

We were not. I'm about two seconds off your behind.

Wait, wait, wait. Who threw the first punch?

You really wanna know?

Let me tell it. You can't tell a good story.

It all started yesterday morning.

I was leaving on this recruiting trip

when whining willie wanted to talk about�

Hey, Walter�

�about a personal matter. You know how it is.

Hey, Walter. I gotta talk to you.

Nah, you have to talk to yourself.

I have to be in Charlotte in three hours. Jaleesa's in charge. Go bore her.

You don't understand.

It's a personal problem.

Make it quick.

It's about a woman on campus.

Whitley.

There's 2,000 girls in this school.

Yeah, but she's the only one who makes your glasses flip up.

Well, now she's steaming up somebody else's glasses

or his contact lenses or something.

Julian Day.

Yeah, Walter, you're good.

I'm the resident director. It's my job to be in everybody's business.

- Now, like I said, hurry up. - Okay, um�

We had a little falling out.

- Over Julian? - Over nothing.

We were chatting over espressos,

when I made an innocent comment

about Julian being a pseudo-radical trust fund major

who wears her like a piece of jewelry!

Sounds innocent to me, brother.

Okay, I booted one. But let's face it. This Julian thing is wrong. Plain wrong.

She wouldn't give him the time of day if she wasn't rebounding from me.

Dwayne, do what she did to you. Let go.

Walter, she haunts me, man! I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

I even tried counting sheep. They all looked like Whitley.

- Really? - Yes!

You should've seen my girl jump fences.

Insomnia. Delusions. All this over a woman?

Well, it could've been that triple espresso I had.

Man, you've got the disease.

Tell me about it.

You just need some serious time away from this woman.

You know something. You're right! I'll come with you!

Oh, no, no.

I'm going on official athletic department business, man.

This is my first recruiting trip by myself.

Recruiting? Can the head coach job be far behind?

Not if I mess up this recruiting mission.

I'm going after Alvin Dix.

Alvin Dix, the All-American?

No. The chipmunk.

I can help you get him.

I can sell him on Hillman from a student's perspective.

- No, no. - Yeah!

- All you can do is help me drive. - Yes!

- You drive a five-speed? - Hey, piece of cake!

My bicycle had ten speeds.

I'll drive.

It's not the same thing?

Yes, officer, I was going six miles over the speed limit.

But I was going with the flow of traffic.

Did you see the Ferrari fly past us?

It had to be going over 80 miles an hour!

I know. I couldn't catch him, that's why I got you.

You should've just let me drive!

I was speeding because you were moaning about Whitley for three hours.

Officer, this is the man you want. His mouth was going 90 miles an hour.

Walter, I can't get her off my mind.

Get this on your mind.

We're 200 miles away from home, and I did not pack for jail.

I'm gonna be late for my meeting with Alvin Dix

which means some other recruiter will get him

which means I'll never be head coach, which means

I'll spend my life putting shoe trees in other people's sneakers.

Which means your love life is going on the back burner.

Fine. But that deer by the road looked just like Whitley!

Come on, Tiny, you're up.

Well, well, a visitor from Virginia.

How nice of you to put our little station house

on your sightseeing list.

Do you have a problem?

Oh. Yes, ma'am.

I mean I'm gonna put it on the back burner.

"Traveling 61 in a 55-mile-an-hour zone."

"Computer check."

"Warrant for outstanding jaywalking tickets?"

Oh, I'm glad you mentioned those.

See, I have these bad knees, this old basketball injury.

And when it rains, my knees stiffen up.

Like this� And I can't quite beat the "don't walk" sign.

- In fact, I'm so slow- - How slow are you, man?

I'm so slow, they wouldn't let me be a pallbearer at my grandmother's funeral

'cause they figured she could get out the casket and walk faster than me.

I was there! They made him put roller skates on to keep up.

Mr. Oakes, you have 13 unpaid jaywalking tickets.

Mm-hmm. But did it say how many I have paid?

Yes. Hundreds.

You can take a seat.

And you'd better arrange bail.

Yo, man, give me a quarter.

And it better not look like Whitley.

Now luckily, I had a telephone calling card.

Yeah. Enough with the details. When did the fight start?

No. Forget about that.

I wanna know exactly who this desk sergeant reminded you of.

It's freezing in here. Is anybody else cold?

Thank you, Willard Scott.

Well, you know, I better look at that furnace.

Sometimes you gotta give them a whack or two.

Colonel Taylor, I already did, three times.

Well, Jaleesa, some things need a man's touch.

Well, yes, they do.

But not that furnace.

So, you were at the police station pay phone.

Right. That's when I sent him to get my jeep,

while I tried to raise bail.

- And you called Colonel Taylor? - No.

That's when I called the only person I knew in North Carolina!

10, 20, 30 40, 60, 80, 300.

And don't forget, Alvin.

Hillman has a five-year MBA program.

You can start your grad courses while still on basketball scholarship,

and a year later, you have your masters.

Here's your receipt, and here's the court date.

And, man, with a Hillman education, all doors are open to you.

All sorts of opportunities! It's done a lot of good things for me.

Release him from custody.

Y'all hang in there.

Alvin, what can I say, man. You're a life saver.

Just say you'll show for that court date.

I need that bail money for my prom.

Don't worry. Walter Oakes always repays his debts.

If that were true, he wouldn't be here.

I didn't make the greatest first impression.

But this is the right place to talk about Hillman's criminal justice program.

Why don't we try again?

Oh, I'm sorry, I can't.

I'm having dinner with Cap Connors tonight.

Cap's in town?

Yeah. Bolton State's playing Carolina tomorrow.

Whoa Cap Connors. You ever meet him?

Oh, yeah. In fact, I played for Cap.

I was on his NIT Squad.

Really?

You played for Cap Connors?

How come I've never heard of you?

You see, I had these knee injuries�

Don't let him get started on his knees.

Wow� Cap Connors.

The man is a legend.

Yeah, he knows the game, all right.

Look, I got to book. He's taking me to Finito's for dinner.

All right? I'll see you later.

Oh, good luck with your team.

Good luck with your team? Walter, that's not a good sign.

The boy wants to play for Cap Connors.

Well, who wouldn't?

It's an honor to play for Cap. His team wins.

Playing for Cap would be the biggest mistake of his life.

Why would Alvin regret playing for Cap?

You just said he really knows the game.

And that's all he knows, and that's all you learn.

Cap had me so convinced I'd play pro basketball,

he had me taking classes like intro to telephone etiquette.

If I hadn't messed up my knees,

I would never have buckled down and gotten my education.

Now Walter has the best phone etiquette on campus.

But Alvin might not be as lucky as I was.

You went to bust his knees and that's when the fight broke out.

You know, Freddie, you're just a little too into this.

Well, good news.

The heat is on its way.

There was too much dust in the pipes,

and I had to adjust the pilot light. But like I said, Jaleesa,

some things need a man's touch.

Excuse me.

I guess I'll just go bake a cake.

Do y'all want to hear the rest of this story?

- Yeah, please. - Thank you.

Now, I had to do something to protect Alvin's future.

Not to mention your own.

Yours is starting to look dim.

My only choice was to stop Alvin before Cap brainwashed him.

The fight broke out?

No, that's when the boy blunder here lost my jeep.

We've got to get to that restaurant

before Cap starts spinning Alvin's head

with those free dinners and new cars and other perks.

Man. What other perks?

- I'll explain it in the car. - No, you won't.

It's just been towed.

Where did you park my car?

Uh�

Right out front.

In a space marked "official police business."

But this is official. You're under arrest, Walter.

Y'all go ahead and book me now

because I'm about to kill this boy.

So there we were. My jeep was impounded,

Alvin was seeing Cap, and this fool here was still alive.

Is it just me or is it boiling in here?

I think you whacked that furnace one too many times.

Oh, yeah, well, just needs a little fine-tuning.

Save my seat.

So what happened next?

Well, in exchange for his life,

Dwayne generously offered to pay the towing cost.

You know, by the way, you owe me for�

It's my treat. My treat.

So we jumped in the jeep and took off to the restaurant.

But by the time we got there, it was too late.

- Something to whet your appetites? - Nothing for me.

What about you, lover?

What captures your imagination?

Give me� Give me a� a double espresso.

No, no. Make that a triple.

Coming right up.

Didn't you recognize her?

No.

The southern accent?

We're in the south, bubba. Everybody's got a southern accent.

Why don't you just snap out of it!

Next time we go somewhere together, you're not going.

One triple espresso.

Anything else, lover?

There's our man.

But that's not Cap Connors.

That's the other perks I was talking about.

Get out of here. I thought you meant free dental care.

Cap is notorious for this, man.

Strutting beautiful women in front of recruits.

It's immoral, it's unethical,

and she's a lot finer than the woman he strutted in front of me.

I can sell Hillman. I can't beat her.

If I could just get Alvin alone for five minutes�

Get that dumb look like "I have an idea" off your face.

- I'll be right back. - No, don't come back.

And the guys just love playing for Cap.

Plus, as a Bolton alum, nothing would make me happier

than to see Alvin Dix in the purple and gold.

- Those are my favorite colors. - No, no, no. Let me get that for you.

I wouldn't want you to pull a muscle.

Excuse me. Telephone call for the lady.

You can take it right over there.

For me?

No!

My cashmere!

I'm sorry, miss.

You can't get out marinara.

It's just, um, red clam sauce.

I think that was mine, man.

It's ruined.

You moron!

Excuse me, Alvin.

I have to go clean up.

I'm sorry about your linguine, man.

Mr. Oakes?

- Alvin Dix, what a coincidence. - How you doing?

I want to apologize for this interruption

and for this pitiful excuse of a waiter.

Let me tell you about Hillman's pre-law program.

People are always gonna need good lawyers, Alvin.

Hey, boy, don't you have other tables to wait on?

Hey. Cap Connors!

It's Cap Connors! Wow! How you doing, man?

It took me 15 minutes to give the men's room attendant an autograph.

He's putting my roll of toilet paper

right up there next to Frank Sinatra's.

Frank Sinatra and Cap Connors in the same toilet.

Where's Lil�

She went to go to the bath-

Walter Oakes! Old number 32!

How you doing, Coach?

- How long's it been? - About eight years.

Yeah, and about 20 pounds.

Mr. Oakes was just telling me about Hillman's pre-law program.

Is that a fact?

I didn't mean to horn in on your recruiting time,

but Alvin should look at all his options, not just basketball.

He hasn't changed a bit.

The score is 63-3, but he's still in there hustling.

Like you said, coach, "The game ain't over

"till the cheerleaders leave with the other team."

Every Bolton game is on national TV or cable.

Walter, when's the last time Hillman was on TV?

Matter of fact, we had a big fire in the gym, and CNN covered it.

Well, we must have been playing that night.

What the hell is keeping my wife?

Did you say wife?

Yes, Lilly.

This is our anniversary trip.

Well, congratulations.

Yes, I'll never forget it.

One year ago today, I signed my starting center.

Miss, I'm so sorry about your dress.

I haven't slept in two days. My eyes are playing tricks on me.

Is it ruined?

No, it's supposed to look like the Japanese flag.

Cap is gonna have a fit when he sees this.

Excuse me. Cap bought this for you?

Cap buys all my clothes.

It figures. Why do you let him use you?

Excuse me?

You're better than this. You don't have to be some cheap groupie

to get a hot meal and a pretty outfit.

Honey, I beg your pardon. I am nobody's groupie.

Cap wears you like a piece of jewelry.

What are you talking about?

You need a man who wants you for you,

not because you look hot to some young high school jock.

Get out of my face, you linguine-lipped, no-tray-carrying worm.

Oh, there you are.

Honey, I am ready to leave.

Well, I'm not.

What happened to your $300 dress?

That is all you care about, isn't it?

That's a lot of money to pay for a dress.

Something for jocks to drool on. The waiter's right.

You wear me like a piece of cheap jewelry.

The waiter said that?

I didn't say "cheap."

I'm tired of sitting around a bunch of puppy-faced tadpoles

talking basketball night after night.

I'm your wife, not some groupie cheerleader.

His wife?

His wife.

Okay, Mr. Mouth. We going outside.

Hold on now. Hold on.

Just be cool now.

Now come on. Ease up now.

Mr. Mouth was so scared, his sweat was sweating.

All right. Okay. I've gotten to the source of the problem.

Meanwhile, I'll just let some cool air in here.

A grown man wanted to throw down with you?

Uh-huh! And that's when the fight broke out.

No, that's when the dinner came.

Come on, man. Calm down.

I know, brother.

�humiliate and embarrass me.

Hey, sorry about the delay, folks,

but somebody stole your linguini with red clam.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Hey, sir. What about your meal?

Let that skinny-necked waiter pay for the meal and the tip.

What are you doing?

I'm working on a hundred-dollar tab here.

You don't deserve a tip. Where you been for the last 15 minutes?

Okay, that's it. Come on.

Me and you. Let's go.

Come on, man.

Come on, Cap, calm down.

Run, Dwayne, run, man, run, brother.

And is that when the fight broke out?

No, that's when we all piled in the street

and got busted for jaywalking.

Walter was already out on bail for that,

so they took his big butt back to jail.

After, Cap's wife protested her ticket by swinging at the arresting officer.

It was a heck of an upper-cut.

Goodness.

And that's when the fight broke out!

All the while Super Chicken was running and ducking,

and he lost my car keys in the street.

That's when they called me to come down and get them out.

Now I have $500 in jaywalking fines,

my jeep is somewhere in North Carolina,

and I have no Alvin Dix to show for it all.

That's a great story, Walter.

That's excellent, Walt.

I haven't had this much fun in years.

Yeah, well, I could've told it better.

Good night, Colonel.

Good night.

Colonel. Getting warm in here again, isn't it?

What time did you say that repairman was coming tomorrow?

She said she'll be here at 9:00.

- She said? - Good night.

How gallant.

Oh, well. At least there's a woman who still appreciates a gentleman.

Ooh. It's warm in here.

Uh-oh. Don't ask, all right?

Dwayne, you still here?

Oh! Boy!

Are you all right?

Oh my goodness. Yeah, I'm fine.

Nothing a few days' sleep won't cure.

What an evening.

Julian cooked a Polynesian luau

and got food poisoning.

We had to�

We had�

We had to say good night through the bathroom door.

Oh, my God!

I am so sorry to hear that.

You sound sorry.

Whitley, I have to apologize.

I had no right to say all those things I said about Julian.

I figure most of your friends are okay,

so Julian must be pretty okay, too.

Well, thank you, Dwayne.

Want to go out for an espresso?

Another espresso. Just what I need.

Okay. I have to freshen up. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Alvin, what are you doing here?

Hey, how you doing? I found your car keys.

I figured you'll be needing your wheels, so�

You drove all this way to bring me my car.

You drove all the way to Charlotte for me.

Besides, you still owe me my prom money.

Man, you're something else.

I guess next year you'll be playing for Cap, huh?

Yeah, well, we talked about that. Cap has a lot to say about basketball,

but he doesn't have much to say about college.

- You noticed that. - Yeah.

I'd still like to hear about Hillman's pre-law program.

I've thought about being an attorney.

Well, son, let me show you around the campus.

First we'll go to The Pit and get a hamburger.

If you still want to come to Hillman, we'll talk.

We'll call your mama to pick you up in the morning.

I am not driving to North Carolina ever again.

Okay, ready and willing.

Well, Dwayne, you're right.

My friends are pretty okay.

Except Julian.
