into the crawl space
under the building.

Ace Blackwell is coming here?

186
00:06:17,202 --> 00:06:18,732
Now how did you pull that off?

187
00:06:18,813 --> 00:06:20,513
Or what did you pull
off to pull that off?

188
00:06:20,597 --> 00:06:21,817
[Laughter]

189
00:06:21,903 --> 00:06:23,733
This is strictly professional.

190
00:06:23,818 --> 00:06:26,168
Although I'm not beneath
that because the man is tasty.

191
00:06:27,169 --> 00:06:28,299
I know that's right.

192
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:30,608
I'd love to catch
a pass from him.

193
00:06:30,694 --> 00:06:32,574
That's football.
He plays baseball.

194

anything to do with baseball.

Wow.

208

This is like opening day for me.

210
00:07:09,646 --> 00:07:12,296
Anyway, I brought my demo.
Where can we listen to it?

211
00:07:12,388 --> 00:07:15,258
Actually we prefer to
hear artists sing live.

212
00:07:15,347 --> 00:07:17,047
You want me to sing right now?

213
00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:18,742
Yes. It only takes a few bars

you got the goods.

- So what?

sister helping the other.

coming back to you?

me he could sing?

here just heard him,

my professional reputation

because you're my sister.

to think about her

an ad for the gap.

what about my job?

you could help us.

understand that I can't.

could count on my sister,

joss stone on the way.

buy myself a pair of flat,

00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:08,780
Well, I had eggs for breakfast,

289
00:10:08,869 --> 00:10:10,699
had a great workout downstairs,

290
00:10:10,784 --> 00:10:12,054
picked up my dry cleaning,

291
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:13,533
gave a bagel to
the security guard

292

in the parking lot.
How about you?

293
00:10:15,745 --> 00:10:18,875
Me? Let's see, I
didn't have breakfast.

294
00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:20,506
I pulled a groin muscle,
so I can't work out.

295
00:10:20,532 --> 00:10:21,862
Oh, yeah, and I just got
off the phone with ace

296

who said he's
retiring from baseball.

297
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,450
You know anything about that?

298
00:10:26,626 --> 00:10:28,576
Did he say when he was retiring?

299
00:10:28,671 --> 00:10:30,371
Because maybe he
likes to plan ahead,

300
00:10:30,455 --> 00:10:31,905
what with the state of social
security and everything.

301

happened at delicious.

retire from baseball now.

Actually she's my half-sister,

306

half-responsible for this mess.

be a small problem

want to play no more" problem.

are through fixing.

the same expression

he'll come home.

you were very busy.

Yeah, and I have to say,
the security around here

349
00:12:11,078 --> 00:12:12,748
is like way too tight. Does
everybody get patted down

was by this man?

00:12:33,535 --> 00:12:35,615
[Laughter]

357
00:12:37,278 --> 00:12:39,928
Look, you're obviously
here about ace Blackwell.

358
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:41,720
He's very talented.

359
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:43,524
He is one of the best young
ball players in the majors.

360
00:12:43,545 --> 00:12:44,865
Well, he's also one
of the freshest acts

361
00:12:44,894 --> 00:12:46,554
I've heard in a long time.

362
00:12:46,635 --> 00:12:48,835
- The man has to play baseball.
- The man wants to sing.

363
00:12:48,898 --> 00:12:51,678
I don't think you understand
where I'm coming from.

364
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:53,161
I need you to back off.

365
00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:55,040
And I need you to
back off me backing off.

366
00:12:55,122 --> 00:12:56,842
[Ironic laugh] How long
we gonna keep this up?

367
00:12:56,863 --> 00:12:58,823
- How long you got?
- Brett: Mona...

368
00:12:58,908 --> 00:13:00,298
Listen, ace is a sports star

369
00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:01,908
and now he wants
to quit, all right?

370
00:13:01,998 --> 00:13:03,448
You just cannot jeopardize
his career like that.

371
00:13:03,478 --> 00:13:05,218
Look, I can't even make
a move towards ace

372
00:13:05,306 --> 00:13:06,786
until my boss
listens to his demo,

373
00:13:06,873 --> 00:13:08,273
and that could take weeks.

374
00:13:08,352 --> 00:13:10,792
Mona, Kai heard ace's
demo. She loved it.

375
00:13:12,487 --> 00:13:13,837
She wants us to
make this happen.

376
00:13:13,923 --> 00:13:15,583
Here's the offer.
Now be sure you...

377
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:17,970
Who's the dude?

378
00:13:20,843 --> 00:13:23,193
Brett mahoney. I'm
here on business.

379
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,150
[Chuckles] Right.

380
00:13:25,239 --> 00:13:27,679
You know, you don't need
to hide the jungle fever.

381
00:13:27,763 --> 00:13:29,463
We all catch it
from time to time.

382
00:13:29,547 --> 00:13:31,027
[Laughter]

383
00:13:35,075 --> 00:13:36,635
You want to explain that?

384
00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:37,918
Well, that's when a white
person and a black person...

385
00:13:37,947 --> 00:13:39,377
[yell] I meant the record deal!

386
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:42,909
I know what jungle fever is.

387
00:13:42,996 --> 00:13:44,606
I work with brothers with money.

388
00:13:44,693 --> 00:13:46,133
[Laughter]

389
00:13:47,348 --> 00:13:48,828
Miss Thorne, would
you like security

390
00:13:48,915 --> 00:13:50,995
to escort this man out?
Security would like that.

391
00:13:51,091 --> 00:13:53,141
[Laughter]

392
00:13:53,223 --> 00:13:55,013
[Introductory musical note]

393
00:13:59,577 --> 00:14:00,877
You again?

394
00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:02,450
[Laughter]

395
00:14:04,104 --> 00:14:06,064
Forgive me, Phyllis,
for I have sinned.

396
00:14:06,149 --> 00:14:07,559
That's old news. Nobody
but Charles thought

397
00:14:07,585 --> 00:14:09,145
you were a virgin when you met.

398
00:14:09,239 --> 00:14:10,629
[Laughter]

399
00:14:11,938 --> 00:14:13,198
This is about Fred.

400
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:14,287
Fred?

401
00:14:14,331 --> 00:14:15,331
Fred is dead.

402
00:14:16,464 --> 00:14:17,904
Fred is dead?

403
00:14:17,987 --> 00:14:18,987
That's what I said.

404
00:14:19,075 --> 00:14:20,725
[Laughter]

405
00:14:22,296 --> 00:14:23,946
How?

406
00:14:24,037 --> 00:14:26,737
Coco chased your
cat under a moving car.

407
00:14:26,822 --> 00:14:28,912
The car kept
moving, Fred didn't.

408
00:14:28,998 --> 00:14:30,388
- [Gasps]
- [Laughter]

409
00:14:31,653 --> 00:14:33,793
[Lament] My poor baby!

410
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:37,223
I had Fred cremated
and put into this mini urn.

411
00:14:37,311 --> 00:14:38,531
[Laughter]

412
00:14:40,967 --> 00:14:42,747
This is a cocktail shaker.

413
00:14:44,492 --> 00:14:47,672
Yes, and I'll miss it as
much as you'll miss Fred.

414
00:14:47,756 --> 00:14:49,756
[Laughter]

415
00:14:49,845 --> 00:14:52,935
Just know that I have been
wracked with guilt for days.

416
00:14:53,022 --> 00:14:54,892
Well, I love
seeing you suffer...

417
00:14:56,634 --> 00:14:59,684
But the truth is Fred
was really old and stick.

418
00:14:59,768 --> 00:15:01,168
He was only out
because I wanted him

419
00:15:01,204 --> 00:15:04,384
to enjoy the outdoors
in his final days.

420
00:15:04,468 --> 00:15:06,988
Crazy cat probably ran
out in the traffic on purpose.

421
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,650
[Sighs] That is such a relief.

422
00:15:09,734 --> 00:15:11,304
Phyllis, I thought
it only fitting

423
00:15:11,388 --> 00:15:12,818
that I get you a new kitten.

424
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:14,022
I've arranged for
a limo to take us

425
00:15:14,043 --> 00:15:15,523
to the animal shelter.

426
00:15:15,610 --> 00:15:17,530
We wouldn't want you
to have a low cat count.

427
00:15:17,612 --> 00:15:19,442
[Laughter]

428
00:15:19,527 --> 00:15:21,177
Who knew you had feelings?

429
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,530
Then let's go. Oh, but
please, don't stand on the seat

430
00:15:26,621 --> 00:15:27,941
and put your head
out the sunroof.

431
00:15:28,014 --> 00:15:29,214
We don't want to
have to circle back

432
00:15:29,232 --> 00:15:30,302
to pick up your ponytail, dear.

433
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,110
[Laughter]

434
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:33,452
[Introductory musical note]

435
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:35,979
This is all happening so fast.

436
00:15:36,065 --> 00:15:38,195
Hey, when we find
talent, we move on it.

437
00:15:38,285 --> 00:15:39,935
So let's go to the
conference room.

438
00:15:40,026 --> 00:15:41,326
We got to get to the good things

439
00:15:41,418 --> 00:15:42,958
before Adam eats all
the centers out of them.

440
00:15:42,985 --> 00:15:44,505
[Laughter]

441
00:15:44,595 --> 00:15:46,155
This is the best Danish I've had

442
00:15:46,249 --> 00:15:48,169
since that double-jointed
sailor from Copenhagen.

443
00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:49,431
[Laughter]

444
00:15:50,601 --> 00:15:52,081
I love living in a port city.

445
00:15:52,168 --> 00:15:53,558
[Laughter]

446
00:15:53,648 --> 00:15:55,078
[Elevator chimes]

447
00:15:58,696 --> 00:16:01,216
- What are you two doing here?
- Ace is our client.

448
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,958
We're here on behalf of
gandg to represent his interests.

449
00:16:04,050 --> 00:16:05,400
Well, I'm cool with that.

450
00:16:05,486 --> 00:16:07,046
We were just about
to present our offer.

451
00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:08,640
Adam, would you show
Brett to the conference room?

452
00:16:08,663 --> 00:16:09,583
Ah, stay away from me, man.

453
00:16:09,664 --> 00:16:11,754
[Laughter]

454
00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:20,326
I'm sorry, but ace
is leaving baseball.

455
00:16:20,414 --> 00:16:23,114
Is he? I'm not sure
he realizes exactly

456
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:25,329
what he's getting into. He
needs to hear both sides.

457
00:16:25,419 --> 00:16:27,289
And once he does,
we'll see who gets him.

458
00:16:27,377 --> 00:16:29,157
- Yes, we'll see.
- We certainly will.

459
00:16:29,249 --> 00:16:31,049
- Good luck to you.
- Dee Dee: Good luck to you.

460
00:16:31,077 --> 00:16:32,527
- Mona: May the best woman win.
- Oh, she will.

461
00:16:32,556 --> 00:16:33,986
- Mona: Will she?
- Just walk!

462
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,120
[Laughter]

463
00:16:37,866 --> 00:16:39,556
Watch Dee Dee,
Spence. She's crafty.

464
00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:41,170
I've been watching her.

465
00:16:41,261 --> 00:16:43,051
Is she wearing
that skirt or what?

466
00:16:43,132 --> 00:16:44,832
[Laughter]

467
00:16:44,916 --> 00:16:46,786
Ace, delicious is very excited

468
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:48,745
to have you as
one of our artists.

469
00:16:48,833 --> 00:16:49,943
We want to get you in the studio

470
00:16:49,965 --> 00:16:51,355
as soon as possible.

471
00:16:51,445 --> 00:16:53,005
Can you put a dollar figure

472
00:16:53,099 --> 00:16:55,059
on what that's
gonna cost our client?

473
00:16:55,144 --> 00:16:56,494
Why would it cost me anything?

474
00:16:56,580 --> 00:16:58,450
Mona, you didn't
explain this part?

475
00:16:58,539 --> 00:17:00,499
Mona will explain
this part. Mona?

476
00:17:00,584 --> 00:17:02,244
[Laughter]

477
00:17:02,325 --> 00:17:04,845
Well, it is standard procedure
for the record company

478
00:17:04,936 --> 00:17:07,416
to advance some of the
costs to you, the artist.

479
00:17:07,504 --> 00:17:09,164
Yeah, that means that you pay.

480
00:17:09,245 --> 00:17:11,545
But we're confident you'll
make it up in album sales.

481
00:17:11,639 --> 00:17:14,339
Now I know this isn't
really my main-oeuvre,

482
00:17:14,424 --> 00:17:16,264
but artists don't make
money off of album sales

483
00:17:16,296 --> 00:17:17,726
unless it's multi-platinum.

484
00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:19,169
Isn't that what you
told me, Mona?

485
00:17:19,255 --> 00:17:20,815
Yes, but you usually
don't listen to me.

486
00:17:20,909 --> 00:17:22,079
To what do I owe this honor?

487
00:17:22,171 --> 00:17:24,091
[Laughter]

488
00:17:24,173 --> 00:17:25,983
You know, I hear the only
way to make money is a tour.

489
00:17:26,001 --> 00:17:27,501
But if you don't get any radio
play, there's no ticket sales.

490
00:17:27,524 --> 00:17:29,614
I mean, no ticket
sales, no tour.

491
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:31,960
And no tour, no groupies.

492
00:17:33,095 --> 00:17:35,485
What, that might be
important to some people.

493
00:17:35,576 --> 00:17:37,096
Ace: Ok, time out.

494
00:17:37,186 --> 00:17:38,816
I'm hearing a lot about
me spending money,

495
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,580
but not a lot about
me making any.

496
00:17:40,668 --> 00:17:43,058
But don't forget how much
music means to you, ace.

497
00:17:43,149 --> 00:17:45,409
This opportunity means
more to you than money.

498
00:17:45,499 --> 00:17:47,889
And you can't put
a price on passion.

499
00:17:47,979 --> 00:17:50,109
Well, you can,
but you go to jail.

500
00:17:50,199 --> 00:17:51,769
[Laughter]

501
00:17:51,853 --> 00:17:53,163
They're right.

502
00:17:53,246 --> 00:17:55,336
Passion is important,

503
00:17:55,422 --> 00:17:56,782
and maybe that
will get you through

504
00:17:56,814 --> 00:17:58,014
if your album
disappoints the way

505
00:17:58,033 --> 00:18:00,083
"Shaq-fu: Da return" did.

506
00:18:01,471 --> 00:18:02,951
[Chuckles] That's a bad example.

507
00:18:03,038 --> 00:18:05,348
Other athletes have
had music careers.

508
00:18:05,432 --> 00:18:08,262
That's true. I mean,
deion Sanders had a cd.

509
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:09,868
I think I saw it
at the car wash.

510
00:18:09,958 --> 00:18:11,088
[Laughter]

511
00:18:11,177 --> 00:18:12,737
And iverson had one.

512
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:14,700
No, wait, that wasn't
released, was it?

513
00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:16,269
No, it never was.

514
00:18:16,356 --> 00:18:17,586
Let us have a
couple hours, though.

515
00:18:17,618 --> 00:18:19,318
We'll come up
with somebody else.

516
00:18:19,402 --> 00:18:21,232
Well, try coming up with someone

517
00:18:21,317 --> 00:18:23,747
who can actually
sing like ace can.

518
00:18:23,841 --> 00:18:27,151
I mean, just imagine
yourself on stage, performing,

519
00:18:27,236 --> 00:18:29,666
in front of thousands
of screaming fans.

520
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,780
And then I want you to
imagine yourself on the mound

521
00:18:31,806 --> 00:18:33,716
pitching a shutout
during the world series

522
00:18:33,808 --> 00:18:37,068
in front of millions
of screaming fans.

523
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:39,339
[Imitates fans yelling]

524
00:18:39,422 --> 00:18:41,642
Ok, we could argue
pros and cons all day,

525
00:18:41,729 --> 00:18:44,119
but we are here to
sign a music deal.

526
00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:46,520
Oh, look, your
baseball contract.

527
00:18:46,603 --> 00:18:49,173
How did that get in here?

528
00:18:49,258 --> 00:18:51,608
Just as lucrative as the
last time you saw it, buddy.

529
00:18:51,695 --> 00:18:53,975
And don't forget all the family
and friends you support, ace.

530
00:18:54,002 --> 00:18:56,532
I mean, eventually
the money will run out.

531
00:18:56,613 --> 00:18:58,723
You need to think about your
uncle wilbur in that club flip.

532
00:18:58,746 --> 00:19:02,096
I mean, those custom
shoes... Very expensive.

533
00:19:02,184 --> 00:19:03,714
[Laughter]

534
00:19:03,794 --> 00:19:07,154
Look, the bottom line is:
Delicious believes in you.

535
00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:08,893
Do you believe in you?

536
00:19:08,973 --> 00:19:11,063
Look, you have had an
amazing career on the field,

537
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,980
but maybe, just maybe,

538
00:19:13,064 --> 00:19:17,374
baseball was just a path
for you to find your heart.

539
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:19,290
Dee Dee: Or...

540
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:23,155
Maybe baseball is
actually where your heart is.

541
00:19:24,641 --> 00:19:26,731
[Introductory musical note]

542
00:19:28,210 --> 00:19:30,010
Sportscaster: A fastball
in there for strike two.

543
00:19:30,038 --> 00:19:32,948
Wow! Another 98
mile an hour fastball.

544
00:19:33,041 --> 00:19:34,831
No wonder they call him ace.

545
00:19:34,912 --> 00:19:36,062
Sportscaster: I gotta tell
you, the way he's pitching...

546
00:19:36,087 --> 00:19:39,087
You were right.
I'm glad you won.

547
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:42,438
Oh, Mona, it doesn't
matter who won or lost

548
00:19:42,529 --> 00:19:44,309
as long as we remember who won.

549
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,970
[Laughter]

550
00:19:46,054 --> 00:19:47,804
Spoken like a true Dee Dee.

551
00:19:47,882 --> 00:19:49,322
[Chuckles]

552
00:19:49,405 --> 00:19:51,055
He does look good on the mound.

553
00:19:51,146 --> 00:19:52,426
How could I even
think of taking that man

554
00:19:52,452 --> 00:19:54,892
out of those pants?

555
00:19:54,976 --> 00:19:56,666
Spoken like a true Mona.

556
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,130
Sportscasteer: Here's
the pitch. Got him!

557
00:19:58,153 --> 00:20:00,163
Ace strikes out the side!

558
00:20:01,983 --> 00:20:03,683
[Introductory musical note]

559
00:20:03,767 --> 00:20:05,477
[Thinking] I really got
my butt kicked this week,

560
00:20:05,508 --> 00:20:08,078
but while it was happening,
I found out that people

561
00:20:08,163 --> 00:20:10,473
actually do listen
to what I say.

562
00:20:10,557 --> 00:20:12,207
And apparently, my little sister

563
00:20:12,298 --> 00:20:14,038
is learned a lot from me.

564
00:20:14,125 --> 00:20:16,475
Funny thing is, I didn't even
know I was teaching her.

565
00:20:16,563 --> 00:20:18,393
I guess sometimes
when you think you've lost,

566
00:20:18,478 --> 00:20:20,218
you've actually won.

567
00:20:20,306 --> 00:20:21,606
Here's to more winning.

568
00:20:21,698 --> 00:20:25,088
