Well, it's time for that annual rite of
passage for high school juniors

everywhere. The dreaded SAT, better
known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

This one examination will determine
which college you'll get into, which

determines what kind of job you'll get,
which determines how much money you'll

make, which determines who you'll marry,
which determines what your kids will

look like.

Guess every time you see an ugly kid,
you know somebody didn't study.

To help us conquer this beast, Andale
turned the den into a SAT study zone.

Every day between 3 and 6, a small but
dedicated group of Crenshaw scholars

gathered in the pursuit of academic
excellence.

That is, until word got out that Terry
Hightower, the star forward for our

Crenshaw Cougars, was a member of our
group.

Now we're a very large group of
dedicated Jewelers.

Is it possible to know more than you
need to know?

Kim, you need to learn everything you
can to get into a good school. Yeah,

What college do you want to go to?

Field.

Field?

Fashion, and so too, a la mer.

You don't need the SATs to enroll there.
All you need is $39 .95 and a sewing

kit.

Terry, are you okay?

Not really.

The test made me nervous.

Alas, this isn't even the real deal. You
know, this is the practice.

No, it is. It hooked me up with some
practice answers.

Joaquin, the whole purpose of this test
is to recreate the... Niecy, what are

you doing?

Best I can.

All right, crew, time's up. Let's see
who's going to a campus or who's going

Camp Pendleton.

Yes. Can I talk to you for a second? Oh,
sure, sir.

What's up?

Look, Moe, it's about the SAT.

I don't do well on big tests. I freeze
up.

Look, if you don't do good this time,
you can always take it the next time.

a senior, Moe. This is next time.

If I don't break 1050, Timber's going to
prop 48 my scholarship away.

Look, you will be fine. You've been
studying hard. You just need to relax.

I need you to take this test for me.

I don't know what you said way up there,
but by the time it got down here, it

sounded like complete madness.

I'll do this for you, Mom.

Setting aside the ethical and legal
ramifications of your request, a lot of

reasons come to mind why no one will
mistake me for you. I mean, there's

there's gender, and only I can go left,
too.

No problem. I'm scheduled to take the
test in a valley.

Nobody knows who I am.

But I would know.

Know, Terry.

All right.

Be like that.

me to cheat.

On Q?

No, on the SATs. He wants me to take his
test for him.

Oh, girl, that means he likes you.

He's cheating and it's not fair.

Oh, lighten up, Mo. It's not all that
bad.

It's more like, like substituting.

I don't believe you guys. We all bust
our butts while Mr. Hoop dreams expects

free ride.

You know what?

Mo's got a point. You should charge him.

Frank's baby plants.

Plants? I thought that was your baby.

Very funny.

Oh, so what's the holdup? Frank Swimmer
scared of the water?

Angela?

All right. I'll be more diplomatic. Does
he have a low sperm count?

Oh!

I just wish there was some sort of a
home test for this.

Oh, darling, you are the home test.

We'll leave you two alone.

And remember, be positive now, because
the man is half...

and she said that you canceled your
appointment again.

Yeah, I already had my checkup. And now
you need to be tested.

Dee, there's nothing wrong with me.

Honey, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Frank, this test is not about your
manhood.

Good. Then you take the test.

If I could take the test, Frank, I
would.

Because there is nothing that I wouldn't
do to get pregnant with your baby.

And make you happy.

Okay, Dee, I'll go and make another
appointment.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You told your friends about this, didn't
you?

Of course not.

Hello?

No, you've got the wrong number.

Yes, you do, Angela. Goodbye.

Excuse me, miss.

I'm here to take a test.

We give over 300 different tests. Do you
want a specific test or do you want

them all?

Come on.

I'm here to take, you know, the test.

Oh, I understand.

You're here for the sperm count test.

Here. Sit over there, fill these out,
and keep your trap shut.

That's some pretty provocative reading
you got there.

It's stimulating.

I tried provocative twice.

Now I'm a two -time loser.

This time, I'm stacking the deck.

Look, if I might make a suggestion, why
don't you just think about your wife and

about all those passionate times that
you had with her?

This is my wife.

Come on, man. I got to go in there, too.

See what I mean?

Never think about your wife.

Better you speak for yourself.

Bam!

Wow.

Oh,

yeah, that's me.

Say, buddy, could I take her in there
with me?

Hey, come on, man.

Thanks, pal.

Mitchell?

Here, take this.

Go in there.

In there?

That's right.

In the same direction that I am pointing
my finger.

Now, do you need any specific
instructions on what to do while you're

No, I think I can handle it from here.

Although I am curious about one thing.

What was your account?

Yo,

word is that Terry knocked the S -A -T
out the B -O -X.

Our homeboy broke 1 ,200.

Yes, I knew he could do it if he just
relaxed.

After getting 653 times, he was more
than relaxed, boo -boo. He was in a

Or, uh, at home while Mo took the test
for him.

Now, why would I do something stupid
like that?

Three reasons. Finding bonus courtside
seats and community property.

Hello.

Ooh, ooh, and Dale, and Dale, you still
giving away free smoothies to anybody

with a SAT receipt?

Yes, I am.

We'll make mine a banana berry boom and
a heavy on the boom.

Boy, I'm going to boom you upside your
head. This is the third receipt you done

brought up in here.

Well, don't hate me because I'm an
overachiever.

Hey, congratulations, player. I heard
Moe aced that SAT thing for you. Man,

does everybody think Moe took the test
for me?

22nd time now, homie.

Who else think I cheated for you?

Other than the principal.

The principal? Now, who would tell him
that?

I just go in there to use the phone.

Can't. Sorry.

I don't know, Raul. I mean, the tech
could always come back low and... Hold

right there, Frank.

There's nothing wrong with you.

You're a man, aren't you?

Well, well, yeah, but I mean... No well
yeah about it, so it can't be you. And

here's why.

When women pass 30...

There's a lot they can't do anymore.

I mean, how old is Dee?

Uh, she's 39.

My point exactly.

With that kind of mileage, she probably
needs a whole new engine.

Oh, wait a minute.

Okay, okay, but you know what I'm
driving at.

On the other hand, how old are you?

39. See?

You're a young man.

You got your whole life ahead of you.

Yeah, that is true. That is true.

I don't know.

All I'm worried about... Listen, Frank,
a man can be half -dead and still father

a child.

Look at Anthony Quinn.

Well, yeah, but I don't... Then there's
Tony Randall. The guy's 76, and he's

having a kid.

Felix Unger? Yeah, I know.

But, you know, we don't want to go
there.

Look, Frank, stop worrying about this
baby thing.

Hakuna Matata.

What does that mean?

If you could have kids, you would know.

We have two kids, Raul.

Hey, honey.

Hi, Vic.

Hey, Raul.

Hey, Vic. You're looking good.

Frank, you didn't tell me you were
married to a 25 -year -old.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Beverly.

Did you get my test results back?

So how'd we do? How'd we do?

Well, why not?

Yeah, he's right here.

It's for you.

What did she say? Oh, some nonsense
about doctor -patient privilege.

What about girlfriend -to -girlfriend
privilege?

Raul, you mind? I have to talk to the
doctor.

Hey, you gotta let me know the results.
You owe me that.

All right.

I'll see you tomorrow at work.

But don't forget, you're a man.

Hakuna Matata.

Yeah, Hakuna goodbye -bye.

Yeah, yeah. Hi, Bev.

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Sure, sure.

Yeah, yeah, thanks for calling.

I appreciate it. Yeah, you too.

So what'd she say, Frank?

She said I should get a second opinion.

From a man doctor.

There you go.

A bill?

What's this for?

For claiming a smoothie under false
pretenses. Cheating never pays, but

always do.

Andel, I didn't cheat.

Terry, how you doing?

Not good.

Everyone thinks I cheated.

They want me to take that test over
again.

For real?

That's not fair.

Doesn't matter.

I just go play ball in Italy.

Italy? Why Italy?

$500 ,000 a year, my own villa, and all
the Armani Pat Riley doesn't buy.

But you'll be in a foreign country. You
wouldn't understand the language.

Okay,

Pavarotti.

There's no sense in me giving you the
usual speech about getting an education

you can have something to fall back on.

500 ,000 a year, you can pay somebody to
go to college for you.

Besides, in Italy, you'll be far enough
away where you won't hear the vicious

whispers of how you cheated, how you
couldn't cut it, or how you ran away

your tail between your legs.

I don't care what they say. I'll pass
that test. Then pass it again.

It's too much pressure.

Pressure? Boy, I saw you at the city
finals. One second left on the clock.

Crenshaw was down by two, and you hit
three free throws. Now that is pressure.

It's not the same.

I'm out there on the court.

I'm at home.

She put a test in front of me, and I
choked like a New York Knicks.

Well, you didn't choke the last time.

It was a good day.

Well, just take the test.

No, I'm going to Italy.

I've got an idea.

You gotta promise me you won't go to
Italy, make a million dollars, and wear

Armani for a couple of days.

You promise?

Te lo prometo.

I hope that's a yes and I kiss my
Adidas.

Okay, Terry.

This exam comes in two halves, math and
verbal.

There's no shot clock, no timeouts, and
absolutely no substitutions.

Do you have any questions?

Let's do this.

Terry, you're going up against a team
with the best front line in the league,

tension and trepidation. In the
backcourt, they've got that dazzling duo

confusion and doubt. And in the hall,
they've got big pop of time.

Now, he plays from tip -off to the final
buzzer, and even then, he doesn't quit.

All right.

Represent.

You ready?

Begin.

Jerry, hands up. I did it, y 'all.

They're excited for you.

They're just holding it inside.

Oh, yeah, he's at his little man doctor
right now.

I don't care if he is seeing Dr.

Seuss, Angela.

All I care about is that when he comes
home, he is ready to take the next step.

Look, I gotta go. I'll call you later.
The doorbell.

Yeah, it's a real doorbell.

Come on in.

Hi, Ms. Mitchell. Is Moe here?

Sure is.

I'll go get her.

Moe, Terry's here.

Hi, Terry.

What's up, what's up?

Oh, Ms. Mitchell. I want you to hear
about this, too. Oh, my God, you heard.

you couldn't have heard. Just tell me.
No, don't tell me.

Moe, will you let him speak, please? I'm
sorry.

What'd you get?

Thanks to Coach Moe here. SAT now stands
for slam dunk another time.

A bucket of 12 .30.

Really? That's 20 points higher than the
first time. 22.

I am so proud of you, Terry. I knew you
could do it.

Thanks. Come on, let's go tell
everybody.

Better idea. Why don't we tell Ken? That
way he won't miss anybody.

Hi, Daddy. Bye, Daddy.

So, Frank, what'd they say?

Well, Dee, I don't quite know how to say
this.

nothing was wrong with me.

Then what's wrong with us?

Why aren't we pregnant yet?

Dee, there's nothing wrong with us. Now,
I talked to the doctor. He said we're

just worrying too much about having this
baby.

Well, who wouldn't worry? Frank, we've
been trying for five months.

Do you remember when we were on our
honeymoon?

Yeah.

Locked up in our room for four days
straight.

So what you're saying is all we have to
do is start acting like honeymooners

again. Exactly.

Or as a very wise man once said, Hakuna
Matata, baby.

feel good about convincing Terry to take
his SAT over.

Next fall, he'll be a freshman at Temple
University.

I also feel good about discovering you
can make $500 ,000 a year playing ball

Italy, especially since I heard they
were starting a women's league soon.

So Terry agreed to teach me a jump shot,
just so I have a little something to

fall back on in case my writing career
doesn't pan out.
