May not be right for some, but man is
born.

He's a man of means.

Then along come two.

They got nothing but the genes, but they
got different strokes to take.

Different strokes to take.

Different strokes to move the world.

Everybody finds a way to shine.

It don't matter that you got not a lot.

So what? I'll have theirs and you'll
have yours and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine. Because it
takes different strokes to move the

world. Yes, it does. It takes different
strokes to move the world.

Come on, Eddie. Don't be so negative.

You'll make the basketball team just
like I am. Because you're as good as I

Well, thanks.

I wouldn't say I'm fantastic.

Maybe just sensational.

Hang on a minute, Eddie.

What do you want, Tootie?

Kimberly and I made some brownies. You
want some?

Oh, hey, thanks, Tootie.

But, you know, basketball tryout's for
tomorrow. If I ate one of your brownies,

I'd never get off the ground.

You'll have trouble getting off the
ground anyway because of all those rocks

your head.

Eddie, listen, believe me, you'll make
the team.

I'll meet you in the playground in ten
minutes to give you some more pointers.

Oh, okay, Eddie. Bye.

Poor Eddie.

He's got no confidence.

He's not like you. You're full of it.

You know what, Tootie?

You really grow on a person.

Like a wart.

If that's your attitude, Willis, I'll
just give these bunnies to Arnold.

to the cute note he left me.

Dear Tootie, In case I never mentioned
it, you're the nicest, prettiest, cutest

house guest we ever had. And I'm not
just saying that because you're making

brownies. My deepest affection is very
truly Arnold.

P .S. While I'm at the library, be sure
Willis doesn't grab my hair. He's

skinny, but he's a hog.

Arnold's always so nice to me. He knows
how to treat a guest.

I'll say.

Since you arrived, he's never around.

Listen, Mr. Conroy, I did what I thought
was right.

I don't need any hot -headed, hostile
lawyer to tell me how to run my

And I resent being spoken to that way.

All right, then, sue me.

But remember, the burden of proof is on
your side.

Arrogant, self -righteous son of a
barrister.

Dad, what are you so mad about? Who's
mad?

I think you are. Your ears are turning
purple.

How do you like that?

He's going to sue me.

That lowlife, that crumb. Who's suing
you? One of my best friends.

At least he used to be.

Charlie Williams.

Mr. Williams?

Well, he's worked for you for such a
long time, Daddy. Twenty years.

How can he do this to me? I gave him his
first big break at the company.

Then why is he suing you, Mr. Drummond?

Did you fire him?

No, I gave him a raise.

Oh, well, that makes sense.

I don't understand, Dad.

Well, what he wanted was to be promoted
to be supervisor of sales.

I gave him a raise instead.

I can understand he's being upset at not
getting the job, but for him to take me

into court, suing me for a million
dollars.

A million dollars?

What happens if he wins?

First, I cry.

And then I strangled my lawyer.

Well, Daddy, why didn't you give Mr.
Williams a promotion?

Wasn't he qualified?

Oh, sure he was. There's nobody better
than Charlie. But I had to bring in a

man from outside the company.

Why? That's not fair.

Well, in the first place, the new man is
black.

On second thought, sounds fair to me.

You mean this new guy beat out Mr.
Williams just because he's black?

Well, no.

More because he's not white.

What is he, off -white?

Look, it was a very difficult situation,
kids.

It all came down to a question of
affirmative action.

But that's not fair, Daddy. Your old
friend doesn't get the job because of

color of his skin.

Affirmative action is very important to
minority people.

It helps make up for all the jobs and
promotions that they haven't had over

many, many, many years.

That's right, Mr.

Drummond. But why should Mr.

Williams take the route for
discrimination that took place so many

That's right, Kimberly.

Judy, are you afraid to take sides
because you're a guest?

That's right, Willis.

Ooh, man.

Coach really worked our tails.

Yeah, I guess he's trying to figure out
whose tail to cut.

Yeah, well, if I don't make the team,
I'm not going to cry about it.

I'll just kill myself.

Taking the easy way out, huh?

Hey, Willis, you were really a streak
out there, man. I mean, you really

Oh, I don't know about that, Eddie.

I mean, what did I do?

I just begged out the first thing,
senior.

Didn't hit my jump shot.

Man,

there's no way you can miss making the
team. Oh, come on, Eddie. You're going

make the team, too. I doubt it.

Listen, the coach is really aware of
you. Yeah, only because I hit him in the

head with the ball.

Well, at least you got his attention.

Okay, okay, guys, listen up.

Now, before I read the list of the new
guys who made it, I just want to say

I got almost my whole team coming back
from last year, and there's only room

five of you.

But I want to thank you all for giving
it your best, and better luck next year.

Okay, here's the lucky five.

Joe Patterson.

All right, all right.

Eddie Sanders.

Is that me?

Okay,

okay, come on, settle down, guys.

Waldo Henry.

First practice, same time tomorrow,
guys.

Hey, you didn't make it. I don't believe
it, man. You're ten times better than I

am. Would you stop having my nervous
breakdown?

Where's Jackson?

He went home, coach.

He's pretty upset.

I don't blame him.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi, Daddy.

How did Willis make out in the tryouts
today?

I don't know. He isn't back yet.

I sure hope he makes the team. Well, if
confidence counts, he not only made it,

but the New York Knicks have signed him
for the next 25 years.

That's a little far -fetched.

20, maybe.

I'm really proud of that boy.

Hey, here he is.

How'd you do, son?

Did you make the varsity team? I didn't
even make water, boy.

I'm not on the team.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry, son.

I let you down, Dad. No, not at all. I'm
sure you did your best.

I just don't understand.

I thought I played so good.

But I guess if I shot the ball as good
as I shut up my mouth, I'd have made the

team. Hey, I think it's terrific that
they thought you were good enough to try

out. Hey, yeah, well, listen, just work
real hard and you'll be good enough next

year. Yeah, but I thought I was good
enough this year.

I don't get it.

I'm better than my friend Eddie, and he
made the team.

Eddie? Isn't that the kid you were
helping?

Yeah, I built my own monster.

Just call me Dr.

Frankenstein.

Well, listen, you can still play on the
junior varsity or the freshman team,

can't you?

Dad, our school hadn't had those teams
for years.

It was different in your day, Daddy.

Yeah.

Things were a lot different when I went
to Neanderthal High.

Mr. Drummond? Yes.

I'm Coach Nichols. Oh, hi, Coach.

Nice to meet you. Come on in.

As a matter of fact, we were just
talking about you.

I can imagine.

Your son has told me a lot about you.

This is my daughter, Kimberly.

Hi, Kimberly. Of course, you know
Willis, whom you just cut from the team.

I knew this wasn't going to be easy.

Won't you sit down? No, thanks. I just
came by to tell Willis something.

Don't tell me you're going to cut me
again.

Look,

Willis, you deserve an explanation about
that.

Well, it seems obvious.

Apparently, he wasn't good enough to be
on the team.

He was good enough.

It's just there's pressure from the
community.

But what has that got to do with Willis?
There are a lot of groups putting

pressure on the schools.

They want the school team to reflect the
ethnic balance of the school. And you

know our basketball team. It's slightly
unbalanced.

It's all black.

I guess what we're really talking about
here is affirmative action.

Well... When it came down to the last
spot on the team and there was a good

enough white player trying out... You
mean you gave it to Eddie just because

he's white?

He's also a pretty good ball player.

Look, I'm sorry, Willis, but, hey, next
year I'm sure you're going to make it.

Unless the boat people try out for the
team.

Well, I'd better be going. Nice meeting
you, Mr. Roman. Thanks for coming by,

Coach. See you, Willis.

How do you like that?

Putting a guy on the team just because
he's white.

Well, that's affirmative action, Willis.

Now, you were in favor of it when Mr.
Williams was the victim.

How come you're against it now?

Because this time it's happening to me.

You'll get over it, son.

No way am I going to get over it. And
I'm going to do something about it.

Hi, Willis.

Doing homework?

Nope, I'm thinking.

I should have known that by the weird
look on your face.

What do you guys want?

Look, Willis, we're really sorry it
didn't make the team.

Is there anything we can do to cheer you
up?

Yeah, leave.

Dad's been here.

Arnold's been here. You know, Arnold
even offered to take me to a movie and

cheer me up.

Good idea. A movie could cheer you up.

Not when it's called The Invasion of the
Swamp Suckers.

I need to get cheered up.

I'm still going to find a way to make it
on that basketball team.

Hey,

I think I got it.

Remember that guy who changed his name
to Pedro Sanchez to get a job?

Well, from now on, I'm going to tell
everybody I'm white.

I think he's cracking up.

You know what Dad said?

The burden of proof is on them.

If they want white, I'll tell them I'm
white.

You better tell them in a very dark
room.

Willis, that is the most ridiculous
thing I've ever heard. You can't change

color like you can your name. You're
black.

Oh, yeah? Prove it.

For one thing, your face is hanging out.

Well, have you seen my father?

He's white.

Have you seen my sister?

She's white.

Have you seen your mirror?

Don't you guys get the idea?

If I tell them I'm white, maybe the
coach will let me play on the team until

they prove I'm not.

By then, maybe this isn't going to be
over.

That's ridiculous.

No, it isn't.

Like Dad said, the burden of proof is on
their side.

Yeah, but the burden of stupidity is on
your side.

Okay, I guess you're right.

It was a stupid idea.

Hey, but here's a smart one. You know
that lawyer, Mr.

Conroy, who's suing Dad?

Well, I'm going to get him to represent
me against the school.

What?

you're going to get to represent you
against Dad.

I'd like to recommend Sugar Ray Leonard.

Willis, you have freaked out. What's
going to happen when your dad finds out

phoned the lawyer who's suing him?

I'll tell him at the right time.

That'll be just before your funeral.

I got it.

Willis Jackson?

That's me.

I'm Albert Conroy.

Mr. Conroy?

What are you doing here?

I thought you were going to let me know
when I can come to your office. Well,

Willis, I've been thinking about your
situation.

Look, can I come in for a minute?

Yeah, but wouldn't it be better if we
went to your office?

Look, I was just coming home, and I
figured I'd tell you in person.

Willis, I'm taking your case.

Oh, that's great.

Tutti. Oh, how do you do?

Hi.

Willis, I've been looking for just this
kind of a case. I'd like to discuss it

with your parents. My parents?

Oh, well, then I hear you'll have to do
that some other time. Oh, well, fine.

Look, while I'm here, could you get me
that list of your team members that you

mentioned to me on the phone? Oh, right.
I'll get it. I'll be right back. Okay.

Uh, Mr.

Conway, would you like a soft drink or
something?

Oh, it'd be very nice. Thank you.

Give him the bottle. He can take it with
him.

I thought you looked very nice in the
blue one. Oh, I like this one. Well,

been... Oh, looks like we have guests.

My name's Drummond. This is my daughter,
Kimberly.

And my name's Conroy.

Drummond?

Albert Conroy?

I should have recognized you by the
sneer in your voice.

What are you doing in my house?

Your house?

Did you come here to try to settle out
of court? Of course not. I'm here on

other business.

Other business?

I've heard of lawyers that chase
ambulances.

What do you chase, buildings?

That's that tone with me, Drummond.

This is your house?

Why don't I go into the kitchen and make
some more milk to calm everybody's

nerves, especially mine?

I didn't come to see you, Drummond.

I came to talk to my new client.

New client?

What new client? Hi, Dad.

Oh, hi. This is my son. Dad?

Him? You?

Well, that's something.

You've got a black son, and you're
prejudiced.

Who are you calling prejudiced?

You won't hire the best man for the job
because he's white. I call that

prejudice. I call that affirmative
action, and it's important.

But, Dad, they had no right to cut me
from the team.

And Mr. Conway's going to help me fight
it.

What?

Him?

You?

Willis! How dare you call this man
without asking me?

Dad, calm down. I don't want to calm
down. I want to be angry.

Of all the lawyers in New York, why did
you have to call this man?

Because he's an expert on affirmative
action.

You said yourself he was terrific.

Ha! That's high praise coming from
someone who called me a... Well, you

that name you called me.

Yes, and I just thought of a few new
ones I could add.

And how may I ask you think you're going
to pay for this lawsuit?

There's no fee, Drummond.

It's a matter of principle with me.

Reverse discrimination is a violation of
civil rights. Just as bad as any other

kind of discrimination.

You're right. And in my case, it's
reverse, reverse discrimination.

Willis is the perfect test case.

A black fighting affirmative action. I
love it.

Well, I don't love it.

Drummond, why don't you look at it this
way?

With all these lawsuits, you can end up
a landmark case.

I can make you famous.

Willis, talk to you tomorrow.

Drama.

See you in court.

Charming guy.

Kimberly says she might like some hot
milk.

I hate hot milk.

You like cold milk?

Yeah. Good.

Let this sit for an hour.

Listen,

have a seat.

I need to know something.

I'd like an opinion of a sister.

What's Kimberly, your mother -in -law?

I mean a black sister.

Come on, you know why Dad's mad at me.

I'm not sure what to do.

If you're smart, you'll leave town.

Be serious.

You think I have a right to fight
getting cut, don't you? And I want your

opinion.

I think you're wrong.

Who cares what you think?

It suits me.

Wait a minute, Tootie.

Why do you think I'm wrong?

Because you don't really care about
discrimination.

You just changed your tune when you got
hurt.

Yeah, but this is two different things.

Before, I talked about jobs, and I made
everything I said.

But this is basketball.

I mean, black people get stopped from
getting jobs.

But no one stops white guys from playing
basketball, do they?

Sometimes. What do you mean, sometimes?

Well, I've seen brothers play ball in
the playground, and some white dude will

come up, and it's obvious he'd like to
play.

Yes, so?

Well, the brothers look at him and
freeze him out, like he was recruiting

the Klan.

If he doesn't get a chance to play with
the better players, how's he going to

get better himself?

Well, that never happens with me. I
mean, didn't I help my friend Eddie?

Willis, not everyone's like you.

I'm sorry, but you wanted my honest
opinion.

Yeah, and I think I'll go talk to
Kimberly and get a better honest

Mr. Drummond? Yes. I'm Eddie Sanders,
Willis' friend. Oh, hi, Eddie. Nice to

meet you. Come on in.

Hey, congratulations on making the team.
I think that is terrific.

You really did it, didn't you? Yeah,
thanks.

Is Willis home?

Yeah. Right here, Eddie.

Hi.

Willis, I've got to talk to you.

Alone. Well, if it's about the team, you
can say it right here.

Don't worry about anything hitting the
fan. I've already been splattered.

I heard you're going to sue just to get
on the team, and that I only made it

because of reverse discrimination.

Well... It's true?

Hey, Eddie, don't take it personally.
Don't take it personally? I'll be the

laughingstock of the whole country.

Don't put me on a Chuck Beres show.

I'm quitting the team.

Now, now, calm down, Eddie.

You don't have to do that.

Yeah, you're not the one I'm mad at, and
I don't want you to quit the team.

No, I'm quitting.

Eddie, why should you quit the team?

Well, who wants to be on a team if they
think I'm not good enough?

Willis, you can take my place.

No way, Eddie.

And I don't want you to quit the team.

And there's not going to be any lawsuit.

Well, what do you mean?

I'm dropping the whole thing.

I was angry before, and I realized I was
only interested in myself.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Willis, I think you're doing the right
thing. But I've got to tell you, I was a

little angry, too.

Really? You know, I never really
noticed.

Well, I'm still quitting the team. No
way.

You wanted to be on that team more than
anything.

And now is your chance. Don't louse it
up. You really feel that way, Willard?

Yeah, I really do.

Listen, you stay on the team and enjoy
it while you can.

Because next year you won't be there.
Why not?

Because next year when I make the team,
