Original subtitles

I don't know why you do this shit.

You do it on purpose.

That's not my fault.

What do you mean it's not your fault?

You knew what time it was.

I kept saying we had to go. Remember that part?

Will you relax, boy?

All right, I'm doing you the favor.

Oh, yeah? How's that?

Well, okay, if we were on time,

you'd be cruising along like every other sheep on the road.

But now you got to rise to the challenge, man.

It builds character.

You should be thanking me.

What's he going to do?

I don't know.

Come on, Gar, push it.

Feel that?

She's got more in her.

Come on.

I thought we were friends.

Yeah, boy.

Yeah, baby.

There you go! Come on, Gar!

Go, go, go! Yeah, baby!

Oh, shit.

License and registration.

Would you look in the glove box?

Hey, buddy. How are you doing?

Matt?

Aren't you supposed to be at the game?

Oakbrook being very patient.

4:24 to play here in the third period.

Giants trailing, 46-41.

Giants leading scorer Matt Morrison

still in coach Gordon's doghouse.

Word from the bench is he likely won't see any action tonight.

I hate to say it, J.B.,

but with Matt on the bench,

our home winning streak's in some serious jeopardy.

Come on, ref, what is that?

He was checked! That is awful!

Are you blind?

Come on.

It's that same asshole who made that call

in the Muncie north game.

This is ridiculous.

He needs to let Matt play.

No, Gordon's rules.

You miss the shooting round, you don't play.

Yeah, Gordon should die.

We want Matt.

Giants down seven now halfway through the third period.

And with Matt Morrison on the bench,

the giants continue to have all kinds of trouble

solving this oakbrook zone.

Well, as a former player,

I can tell you it's tough on Matt watching this.

You know it's killing him to let down his team.

Well, I'm sure Matt's learning a valuable lesson tonight.

Giants back on the ball now, trailing by seven.

The offense still looks to be out of sync.

Well, I hope Bob Gordon's

getting what he wants out of this.

You can hear the crowd.

There's a whole lot of folks here right now

that do not agree with him.

Come on, where's our hustle?

Coach Gordon's really got to be put on

by this crowd right now.

I would not want to be in his shoes.

He's got to be sweating it out,

trying to prove something to Morrison.

We want Matt! We want Matt!

We want Matt! We want Matt!

We want Matt! We want Matt!

We want Matt! We want Matt!

Hey, we got 'em right where we want 'em, right?

Let's go.

Let's see if this is what the doctor ordered.

The fans out here who have been waiting to see him

seem to think so,

and they are going crazy right now

as senior captain Matt Morrison checks in for the giants.

Number 11, Matt Morrison.

Let's go, baby. Come on, let's go.

And Bob Gordon's probably thinking,

"well, that was easy.

Get Matt in there and get things going our way."

Oh, thank you. Good game.

What's up? What's up?

Who's all here, man?

Matt, that was awesome.

Will you sign my program?

Hang on. What's your name?

- Jess. - Jess.

Keep playing, all right?

Gar, give me the keys.

I need the car, man. Give me the keys.

Who's that?

That's Bridgette. She's in my journalism class.

Moved in a couple months ago.

Well, okay, for once in your life, Gar,

just for once, for me,

please, make a decision and go over there

and talk to that girl.

She's a senior.

She's a senior.

You're afraid.

Afraid like the rest.

Excuse me.

Hey, Gar.

I'll be back in a few, man.

Where you been, man?

I've been looking all over for you.

Come on, Gar.

Boy, you'd have done the same thing if you were in my shoes.

Okay?

Come on, get in.

Oh, I mean, Gar,

she was like a burlap sack full of badgers.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

But she's got an ass you can bounce a quarter off.

Robert.

Robert.

What time did you get in last night?

Uh, sorry, dad.

No, just keep an eye on the clock.

Your mom worries, okay?

Okay.

Anything.

Anything you were thinking on the bench.

Just give me a quote.

"What's this?"

"It's a dime, Martini."

"Well, I bet a nickel."

"Dime's the limit, Martini."

This is due Monday.

You know this. I know you know this.

"Hey, you see these people here?"

"These are real people here, Martini.

These are the real ones."

That's your quote. That's what you get.

A line from cuckoo's nest.

What the hell?

I thought you didn't get out till next month.

I got out early.

Good behavior.

Well, why didn't you call?

Need to lay low for a while.

Staying over at Jill's.

Jill's?

Till I get back into my place tomorrow.

All right?

How does she like that shit on your face?

She loves it.

Yeah, I bet.

Kind of makes you look old.

Yeah, well, I can still whip your sorry ass.

Check it up.

You kind of smell.

What, were you afraid to shower in jail?

That's one.

Want some of this?

Hold up.

So how you doing?

Go back in the house.

Keith, let's go, man.

Ignore him. Come on, man, check it.

Matthew, you know you're not supposed to be playing pickup

during the season.

Come on.

That's a foul.

Shut up.

No, that's a good call.

That's it, game's over.

Stay out of it, dad.

It's over when it's over, all right?

Son of a bitch.

You okay?

Matt, you okay?

I'm a goddamn marvel of modern science.

What the hell you smiling at?

Get off my property.

What, are you going to call the cops again?

Dad, Jesus!

You're pathetic.

You're still a punk!

Dad, just go back inside!

You stay away from him!

Matthew, you listen to me.

Don't go with him.

I'll call you later. We'll hook up.

No, forget him.

I'm grabbing a shower and gonna trim off a few years.

Okay?

I'll call you later.

You got to live with the dickhead.

Go on.

You had him.

- Well... - 72.

Only because he's out of shape.

I mean, Keith's got real ability, Gar.

Not more than you.

73.

I mean, he could have played

some big time college ball, though, man.

You'll play college ball.

Nah, maybe some Juco.

I'm not tall enough to play the two,

and I'm not quick enough to run the point.

Why do you say shit like that?

Because it's true.

Coaches would take you over your brother in a second.

Any day.

75.

Yeah...

You don't know Keith, man.

I know he got wasted before the Anderson central game.

Gar, let me tell you something about my brother.

He's got character.

If he'd have played, we would have gone to state.

You want to know why he did it?

Back when Keith was playing,

my dad would sit there like a regular fan.

But afterwards when we got home, man,

he would start breaking it down.

I mean, every detail.

Yeah, and he'd abuse anyone who argued with him

because he had to be the man in charge.

One night he was drinking,

he started in on Keith,

you know, talking about how he wouldn't put up the ball enough,

and my mom stuck up for Keith,

and my old man punched her.

Hard. Right in the face.

Next game was Anderson central.

Did he?

I still can't believe your dad pressed charges.

Yeah, he's been waiting to get back at him

every since Keith got kicked off.

What'd he take?

You don't remember?

He was forging my dad's checks, man.

I mean, it ain't like he's got a lot of money in there anyways.

Oh, good, he's here.

Stop, stop, stop. Stop the car.

Stop the car.

What was that all about?

We need to talk alone.

All right.

So you're down with this?

Yeah, of course.

You can't tell anybody,

not even that little friend of yours out there.

Dude, you know me, okay?

Listen, you cannot tell anybody about this, okay?

- Okay. - Okay?

Keith's got a job for us.

Who was that guy in the Van?

That was bunchy Collins.

And who's that?

He's a bookie.

What's he want with your brother?

He owes him money, okay?

What else? It's a bookie.

Okay, listen, Keith met this guy down in Indy, okay,

and this guy works at this bar

or owns it or-- I don't know.

But anyways, one night this guy got wasted, right,

drunk off his ass,

and he was bragging about how he had all this money

buried in his backyard.

So?

Well, so Keith's going to rip this guy off.

So what's that got to do with us?

He needs help.

That's the job?

May I have your attention, please?

After last week's incident in the parking lot,

all students are now restricted from leaving campus

during lunch.

This rule is effective immediately.

Anyone caught leaving campus during lunch

will be suspended without warning.

Thank you.

So a bad photo large

is really just a bigger bad photo,

so make it smaller--

something that really captures the quality

that we're looking for in the newspaper.

Does that make sense?

Good.

I don't know what the drill was out in California,

but in Indiana we don't write opinion columns

that badmouth our own team.

But, Mr. Dansforth, these guys--

come on, man, I'm starving. Let's go.

Hey, where do you think you're going?

I've got a follow-up.

Hey, dansforth.

Matt.

What's going on?

Okay, girls, let's hit the showers.

Good work.

Shouldn't you be in class, Matthew?

Uh, well, it's lunchtime.

Did you listen to the morning announcements?

Yeah, yeah, I heard them.

But, you know, I got to have my classic double

with no onions.

Bye, Matt.

Listen, listen. All right.

Legitimate shot.

No way.

God, it'd be the hookup of the year, man.

It'd be legendary.

Oh, hey, I need a ride down to Indy tonight, by the way.

- Indy? - Yeah.

- Why? - What do you mean why?

What, do you got a hot date or something?

Maybe.

Why are you going down there?

The thing with my brother. I told you about it.

You can't be serious about this.

What?

Here, smell this.

It's fine.

Jeez, you didn't have to get that close.

It's fine. It's fine.

All right, anyways, all we got to do is some surveillance, Gar.

Okay, just drive me down there,

and you don't have to do anything else.

It's so stupid.

Will you relax?

Relax, man. I mean, it's 100% safe.

Oh, yeah? How's that?

Okay, think about it.

The guy we're ripping off is a drug dealer.

Okay, he can't call the cops.

I mean, we're not going to get in trouble, dude.

It's impossible to get in trouble.

You know, I don't even care how much money it is.

It's not worth it.

- It's not about the money. - Then why do it?

Dude, these guys that my brother owes

are going to hurt him if he doesn't pay 'em.

Okay, shake your head.

You don't have a brother. You wouldn't understand.

You got to step out and give help on that.

All right, let's break it up. Free-throws.

Count 'em out now, rebounders.

Ten in a row.

I saw what happened with dansforth in class.

He's such a moron.

What was in your column?

It's about all this bullshit these guys get away with.

These guys actually think they deserve

to be treated differently.

I take it you agree.

I don't think it's such a big deal.

You know, they bust their asses.

So your buddy's pretty good.

Leading scorer.

Okay, let me ask you something.

At your old school,

what was everybody into?

I don't know.

Hang out. Party.

Everybody kind of does their own thing.

Around here, basketball's the thing.

It's like we haven't lost in this court in three years.

That's great.

It's hard to explain.

You have to come to a game. You'll see what I mean.

Do you know 90% of burglaries go unprosecuted?

Will you stop?

Why do you waste your time hanging out with that punk?

Relax, man. He'll give you a ride.

He doesn't even look like he's old enough to drive.

No, he's cool, man.

You know, and he's a hell of a writer.

Hell of a writer.

You know, he's kind of like my press agent.

Look, Matt.

When this goes down,

it's you, me, Tilkey. That's it.

Tilkey?

No, tilkey is a screw-up, Keith.

Okay, the guy's an idiot.

Which is why I need you.

How far is this place, anyway?

Don't worry about it.

So you want me to drive?

Shut up, squirt. You're riding bitch.

Man, who busted ass?

Ugh, it smells, man.

It smells like rotten socks.

Put the window up, it's freezing.

Gar, do you smell that?

Not really.

- Matt. - What?

Put it up.

- No. - Jesus.

What? Hey, what you doing?

It's my window, boy.

- Cut it out. - No, you stop.

Put it up, Matt.

You stop, and I'll put it up.

All right, fine.

All right, fine.

Goddamn it, Matt.

Put up the window.

No.

You break it, you pay for it.

You're the one breaking it.

Cut it out!

Oh, shit.

God.

Ah, look, you broke it now.

You happy?

What, I didn't break it.

Yeah, you did.

Why don't you put on the windshield wipers so we can see?

Because they're broken.

Just like your window.

Wipe that smirk off your face.

I was trying to be calm.

And now it's freezing in here

because you broke my window.

No, it's my window.

His name's Prock.

He runs the place.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sit tight.

I'm just gonna follow him home,

find out where he lives.

Well, I want to see this guy.

Well, I don't want him seeing me again.

Well, okay, all right. Me and Gar will go.

You know, pop in and check it out.

Well, how is dickweed going to get into the bar?

He'll get in. He'll get in.

Bullshit.

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit.

All right, how about this?

If he gets in, okay,

when this thing does down, he gets to drive.

Matt, wait a second.

Forget it.

He runs with us tonight, that's it, Matt.

Well, then I'm out.

I'm out, man.

If you're not going to give Gar a fair shot at this thing--

what is your problem?

I want winners on my team when this thing goes down, okay?

Jesus Christ.

All right, if he doesn't get in the bar,

will you shut up about this?

Yeah, fine, but he's going to get in.

If we got in, how would we know who this guy is?

Yeah, good question, Gar.

See, he's smart. He thinks about stuff like that.

He's 40, fat, mustache.

Has a bit of a limp.

What, are we robbing a cripple now?

It's not that bad of a limp.

All right, whatever.

We'll figure it out.

No, no, no, no.

He goes in by himself,

and he drinks a beer.

What do you think about that, big man?

Have a good time.

Whoa, you got I.D.?

Um, you know, I think...

You left it in the car.

Uh, this is just kind of a dare,

can I just wait here a couple minutes?

No.

Did you go to Lawrence south?

You're Tommy Overman.

You scored 29 against the giants.

You guys went to state that year.

You hit that three at the end of the half.

Killed us.

What's the problem?

No I.D.

You thought you were going to get in here with no I.D.?

I--i just made a bet with somebody...

Oh, so you're a betting man, huh?

You win.

Go on, kid.

Once in a while everybody needs to catch a break.

So you got anything going on next year?

I don't know. School, I guess.

Any offers?

Well, I mean, you know, nothing decent.

I mean, knocking down open jumpers

and hitting free-throws doesn't get you a full ride anymore.

You know, they all want speed and power

and playing above the rim, man.

Hey, when the was the last time you saw a highlight

of a midrange jumper on ESPN?

Bullshit. You got served.

I told you.

I told you, baby.

He has a cell phone. All he has to do is make a call.

He knows what time he's supposed to be home.

Sweetie, he's 17.

Do you remember what that was like to be 17?

He's out. He's having fun with Matt.

It's basketball season.

Yeah, well, I want him to have fun.

I just want him to have his fun.

You know, be himself.

You already talked to him.

You don't have to worry, you know him.

He makes good choices.

555-1700.

We are back with the Bob Gordon show on WGVI.

Coach, I have to say, this is my favorite time of year.

There's something about it--

something irresistible here.

Well, J.B., march in Indiana,

everything builds towards march.

There's this sense of possibility.

Anything can happen.

That's what march is to me

and to a whole lot of other folks.

Giants win it.

They've done it.

Giants are going to state,

led by senior captain Matt Morrison.

We're going to be state champs, baby.

State champs!

Hey, oh, by the way, we got to be at Keith's by 11:30.

For what?

The thing in Indy.

Man, I talked to Keith after the game.

We're doing it tonight.

Come on, man.

What do you want to get mixed up with a drug dealer for?

Oh, Gar, come on.

He's not a drug dealer.

Okay, he deals drugs.

There's a difference?

I mean, it's not like a full-time job.

You know, the guy doesn't walk around with, like, a 9 milli

in his pocket.

It's crazy either way.

I mean, I don't have a choice, Gar.

Okay, I got to help my brother, man.

I don't have a choice. I mean, you know what?

Fine, I don't even want you there

if you don't want to be there.

Okay?

And I will support your decision

100% either way.

You're a man of integrity, you know?

So what's it going to be?

Are you in or you out?

I think I'm out.

I thought we were friends, man.

Hey, how many times do I got to tell you, man,

all you got to do is drive.

All right?

You got nothing to worry about.

Here they come.

All right, come on. Knuckles.

Let's do this.

All right?

Nice game, bro.

Well, that's what they pay me for.

I'm sure you made the old man proud.

Shotgun on the way back.

You boys ready for the life of crime?

Oh, yeah. No misdemeanors here, Tilk.

We go straight for the felonies.

So you're going to wait till you see him leave,

then you're going to give my cell phone a call.

You got it?

Yep.

You know what his truck looks like?

Yep.

Hey, what if he's got a dog?

He doesn't have a dog.

Well, he might have a dog.

Matt, just drop it. He doesn't have a dog.

What makes you so sure?

Because I staked out his place and I never saw one.

That doesn't mean shit.

Well, there's no fence.

We have a dog, and we don't have a fence.

Yeah, I mean, he could have some white fang,

trained killer watchdog back there,

and we don't even know about it.

Well, if you had a dog,

would you Bury money in your yard?

We should bring something to feed it.

Just in case.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea, man.

We don't want to go unprepared.

Get me some M&Ms.

Plain or peanut?

Peanut.

No, no. Plain.

Plain.

Plain!

I don't know why you hang out with that guy.

He's a ball of bad nerves.

He had a 4.0 at ball state.

Well, I bet you he screws up my M&Ms.

I told the guy three times "plain."

He'll screw it up.

Will you take it easy?

I don't want him in there with us.

I'm not changing the plan, Matt.

If he brings out peanut M&Ms,

I say that Gar goes in and tilkey drives.

The plan is set, Matt.

No, forget that.

If he can't get my M&Ms right,

I'm not going in with him.

Tilkey, what did you get for the dog?

Glazed.

The jelly-filled are mine.

What makes you think dogs eat donuts?

My mom's dog eats brownies.

Watch the road, man.

That's because your mom's a stoner, tilkey.

Okay, she thinks it's funny when your dog runs into shit.

Hey, how long is this going to take?

What do you care?

I don't want to be out all night.

Look, just call me when he leaves the bar.

You got my cell?

Yeah, I got it. I got it.

What a douche.

Hope he doesn't wreck your mom's car.

When did you learn how to pick locks?

Look, why don't you two go around back,

look for an open window or something, all right?

What is this, plan "b?"

Yeah, it's plan "b."

Ooh, shit.

Big yard, huh?

Yeah.

I don't know, bro.

If I had this guy's money, I'd definitely have a pool.

What do you think?

Yeah, a pool would be nice.

No, I mean, what do you think?

You know what I think.

This isn't right, man.

Come on, you act like we're criminals or something, Gar.

We're getting ready to break into a guy's house.

We're not going to hurt the guy, all right?

We're just going to take his money.

That's the plan.

I mean, think about it. The guy's a drug dealer, okay?

This is probably going to put him out of business, man.

Save a lot of people's lives.

In my book, that makes us heroes, okay?

Jesus Christ.

Back door was unlocked.

Well, you got to tell me.

I just did.

Let's go.

All right.

When he gets here, put these on.

All right?

Where'd that come from?

No, Keith, you're not hurting this guy.

All right, not even mentally.

We're taking his money.

And this will help.

- Cut it out. - Keith, stop.

Keith!

Dude, stop.

It's not funny.

Keith, seriously.

See, it works.

That thing better not be loaded.

You never know.

Turn the light off. Let's go.

All right.

I'm gonna set up the blankets right here.

Hey, listen, listen.

When we do this thing, we should use fake names.

Nobody's talking but me.

No, no, no, no. You can be Scanlon.

- Grab an end. - Call me Martini.

Gar! Gar, you're Cheswick.

Charlie Cheswick?

Yeah, Chesseroo.

Look, would you two shut up?

Nobody's talking but me, okay?

Spread it out.

Okay, but what if he doesn't come through this door?

You ever walk in through our front door?

Turn it off.

God damn it.

- Matt. - What?

No messing around.

My name's Martini.

Punk.

Oh, shit.

Gartland, you see anything?

Nothing yet.

Where's Martini?

Don't worry about it. Just do your job.

Shit!

Take that thing off, man.

God.

What are you doing?

Looking for change.

You're stealing his change?

Yeah, I need quarters.

Come on, man. Help me look.

Holy shit. Hey, dude.

Have you seen these new nickels?

Look at that thing. It's freakish.

It's the way they used to be, with the buffalo.

Who came up with the idea?

Like, you know, make a new nickel?

Do you think somebody's going to, like,

start counterfeiting nickels?

I don't get it.

Holy!

Holy shit.

Oh, shit.

Dude.

You having fun, huh?

You having fun?

Oh, shit.

What the hell you guys doing?

I just hit the jackpot.

I told you to stop messing around.

Yeah, hello?

Hold on a second.

Matt! Matt!

Turn the machine off.

Well, I don't know how to turn it off.

I don't work in a casino.

Okay, yeah.

Jesus Christ. Shit.

Get out of my way.

Jeez, relax.

He's coming! Turn it off!

I don't know how.

Oh, this thing reeks, Keith.

Just put it on.

What's yours smell like?

Huh? Trade me.

Come on.

Put it on, asshole.

He's here. He's pulling in.

Get down on the ground!

Oh, oh, oh! Hold on!

Do what I tell you, and get down on the ground!

Get down!

Now tell me where the money is.

You are making a huge mistake.

No, don't mess with me, man.

Tell me where it is!

I can get you money,

but it'll take time.

I want the money you buried, man.

I got a couple of hundred bucks.

It's in the kitchen.

No, I know about the money in the yard.

Look in the kitchen, in a coffee can.

That's all I got out here.

- Hey. - What?

Check it out.

All right.

What are you doing?

Oh, my mask stinks, man?

Like mothballs, right?

Yeah, yeah, it was killing me.

I had to get it off my face.

Are we supposed to have accents too?

Matt, what the hell is taking you so long?

Dude, there's nothing in here.

Jesus Christ.

I'll find it.

You get back there and make sure he doesn't move.

What the hell are you standing here for?

You're supposed to be at your post.

Move it.

Kid, you better call this off before somebody gets hurt.

Hey, get down!

Get down!

You're going to pay for this!

Shut up!

Let me out of here!

Hey, I told you there was cash here.

He saw me.

What?

He saw me. He saw my face.

Where the hell was your mask?

Well, he was supposed to be under a blanket, okay?

I'm out. I'm out of here, man.

- No. - No, I'm out.

There is real money here,

and I'm not leaving without it.

All right, game over. Where is it?

I don't know what you're talking about.

The only thing I want to hear coming out

of your goddamn mouth is where you buried the money!

Get his hands.

Get his hand.

Whoever told you I have money out here is wrong.

I swear to god, I will snap it off.

You are making a big mistake.

Where is it?

Martini, make him stop!

You better pray that this asshole talks.

Get off! Get off! Get off!

He says one more word, he is dead!

You're not hurting anybody, all right?

No, take it easy.

No, no.

I am cutting off fingers one at time.

No, Keith, no, Keith. Put it down, all right?

I'm not leaving here, man, without the money.

Just--all right, take it easy, all right?

Keith.

Look, he's not going to hurt him, okay?

He's not.

I'm out of here.

No, Gar, it's fine. He's--

Gar.

Gar, wait, wait, wait.

Look, I'll talk to him, all right?

He'll cool off, man.

Gar, I'll talk to him. Where are you going?

I'll walk home if I have to.

Gar, wait. Dude, just hang on!

Gar!

God.

Shit.

Don't do this!

Please don't!

Don't!

There's no money. He's full of shit.

What did you do to him?

What?

What'd you do?

Nothing, I didn't touch him.

What'd you do? What'd you--

relax.

I heard him. What'd you do?

He saw the knife, he started screaming like a baby, okay?

Believe me? Huh?

Look, Matt.

Get your shit together, okay?

Let's get out of here.

- Cool? - Yeah.

Shotgun. Shotgun.

Go.

So how'd it go, man?

Not exactly as planned.

We got about 400 bucks.

400 bucks?

Yeah, plus what I won.

Now, tilkey and I split everything.

No, not these. I won these.

Well, you two pussied out, so you get nothing.

I'm keeping my winnings.

Know what time it is?

Sorry.

You out with Matt?

You been drinking?

No.

No, of course not.

Next time you're late, you lose your car privilege.

Sorry.

Look, I told you,

he gave Keith the number of a friend.

Okay, Keith called the guy,

and a guy went over there and untied him.

What if the guy didn't go?

What if Keith didn't call?

What if the guy's still lying there?

What if? What if, Gar?

Just call Keith.

I've got a headache, man. Shit.

Just call your brother.

Oh, my god. I can't believe it.

I need something to eat.

He's not home.

Not home.

Maybe we can call the bar.

Fine, whatever. Call the bar, man.

You know, I'm not going to let this bullshit ruin my day,

all right?

- Okay, can I get a... - Sure.

Indianapolis, Indiana.

Black bear tavern.

So?

He's there.

Like nothing happened.

What, you talked to him?

I asked him what time they opened.

He sounded normal.

Yeah, well, great, Gar.

The drug dealer's alive and well.

Now can you forget about it?

Everybody was at stagger's party last night.

What happened to you?

Well, Natalie, I had to Rob a drug dealer last night.

It just took a lot longer than I thought.

Front page. Very nice.

- Did you read it? - Yeah.

What'd you think?

I think you're a lousy reporter.

Glad you liked it.

The writing's not bad,

but the quotes, they didn't come from their source.

How would you know?

I know his type.

He's not a type, believe me.

So you two are pretty good friends, huh?

Yeah.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

Well, is that all?

Uh... What do you mean?

Are you two lovers?

Is that a serious question?

No.

Should it be?

Come on, I'm just giving you shit.

Funny.

All right, how about you set up an interview for me?

We'll see how your friend does

under a different line of questioning.

And we are back on chalk talk.

This is Jim Brantley, live from the arena,

and in the guest seat tonight, Matt Morrison himself

is going to be taking some of your questions.

But let's look forward now.

What a matchup before state finals.

You know, another shot at Muncie north.

They gave us our only loss of the regular season.

Yeah, but we're definitely, definitely fired up for that.

A good personal matchup for you as well,

up against Suder.

He's a lot of people's choice for Mr. Basketball.

Yep, you know, he's a hell of a player.

Will you be doing anything differently now

to prepare yourself for facing him again?

No, you know, I'll just, you know, eat good,

go to bed early, you know, stay focused.

Good advice. Good advice.

And for you young athletes listening out there,

take it from number 11.

He's our Mr. Basketball.

Let's go ahead and get to our first caller.

On line one, a Mr. Martini.

Go ahead, you are live with Matt Morrison.

Go ahead, sir. That's you.

You're on the air.

Well, it seems our Mr. Martini is a little gun-shy,

so we will take another caller,

and as we remind you, chalk talk each week's brought to you

in part by Gorman's center for orthodontics.

Ready?

Excuse me?

You promised Gar you'd do an interview with me

after practice?

Oh, yeah. Can we do this tomorrow?

When?

Oh, I don't know. I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay?

Maybe it was just Keith messing around.

No way.

Then it must have been a guy named Martini.

Do you know anyone named Martini?

Hey, mongoose McMurphy back in action, baby.

Nice shirt, Chesseroo.

Come on, Matt, there's no way.

You're being paranoid.

How could he find you?

Hey, dumb-ass, he saw me.

Come on.

Good to see you, fellows.

Hey, my favorite run of the week.

Let's go.

Nice!

Brett, right here. Brett.

Man up.

Switch!

Nice shot.

We got you beat by five, man.

Come on.

Wait to go, baby.

Thanks, man. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

He knows where you live.

Yeah, no shit.

No shit.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

We'll talk to my brother.

Your brother?

He's a lot smarter than you give him credit for, okay?

Nobody's calling the cops.

Last thing we want to do is get the cops involved.

Maybe we could mail back the money.

With a letter or something.

Yeah, yeah, what do you think?

400 bucks means dick to this guy.

Well, what do you know about him?

No, don't shrug, Keith.

Okay, you're not a shrug type of person, man.

I know you.

Just tell me what you know.

Could be a psycho.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means he served in the first Gulf war.

Means he supposedly killed a bunch of people.

Well, who'd you hear this from?

I asked around.

Couldn't you do this before we broke into his house?

Well, maybe if you assholes listened to me

when we were in there,

we wouldn't have this problem.

Let's hear it for the giants!

Finally jumping on the bandwagon?

Haven't come to that yet.

What are you doing here?

Working on the story.

Yeah?

You know your friend blew off our interview, by the way.

- Really? - Yeah, really.

So what's the big deal with this thing?

Come on, I need that.

I don't need this,

but I sure do appreciate it.

Now, there's going to be a lot of excitement tonight...

Come on, what is it?

It's no big deal.

Then why are you such a freak about it?

Who's that?

So tell me what's the deal.

Come on, what is it?

It's pretty simple.

We're down, I pull out the towel,

and it's pretty much guaranteed we're coming back.

You actually think it changes the outcome of the game?

It's a proven fact.

You know, I don't use it all the time,

I'm not greedy, but...

When needed, the towel delivers.

- You are strange. - What, you don't believe me?

Well, come this weekend.

You'll see it in action.

If we win--

if we win, it'll be the greatest night of your life.

I guarantee it.

Come on, it's your last chance to go.

You got to go.

So you're asking me to go with you?

Yeah, yeah. Go with me.

Like, on a date?

Yeah.

Will you go?

No.

But I'll go out sometime.

There's a party out in rolling hills tonight.

Are you asking me to go out with you again?

Will you go?

No, no thanks.

Come on, man, I'm just kidding.

So you'll go?

Yeah, sure.

You remember one thing,

when we get on that bus tomorrow,

we're going down there to win.

Here's Matt Morrison.

Ah, we got a big game Saturday.

Big game.

Yeah, basically I'm just going to do

what my coach always tells me.

Just put the ball in the hole, chief.

Just put the ball in the hole.

That's cuckoo's nest.

So anyways, seriously though,

you know, not a lot of basketball teams

get a second chance,

and we all know what happened in December.

And I can honestly say,

you know, for the rest of the team,

that when we go down there,

we're going to give it 110%.

We're gonna--

Ah, we're gonna-- we're gonna win.

All right, we've got practice down there tomorrow,

so you guys make it an early night, all right?

Bus leaves at 1:00,

you meet here after fourth period,

bags packed and ready to go.

Matt, hold up for a second. I want to talk to you.

Damn, Matt. I'm sorry.

I didn't see you, man.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Get to sleep early, big guy.

Excuse me.

Listen, I need to talk to you, okay?

Just for a second. Come on.

Hey, what's going on?

Something just came up.

I got to go somewhere.

Are you serious?

Do you mind meeting us at the party?

You know, you don't have to do everything he says.

It's not written in some book.

I know, but this will be really quick.

Just go the party.

I'll meet you there, okay?

Just keep driving.

I need to think this thing through.

Maybe we should go to that party.

What is it with you and this party?

I've got to go, man. I'm meeting bridge.

Who?

The girl I was talking about.

The girl we were just with.

She's cool, man. I think she likes me.

Dude, just forget about her, all right?

Blow her off.

She'll love you forever, trust me.

No, man. I'm going.

Want me to take you home?

Gar, he knows where I live.

Hey. Hang on a sec.

Turn a right.

Where are we going?

Just right here.

Turn, turn, turn.

Right now. Now turn again.

- Where? - Anywhere.

Here, here. Make a left.

Left. Right here.

He doesn't know this car.

Turn. Turn again.

Right here, right. Right.

Okay, okay. Take it easy.

Gar, go faster, man.

Gar, come on! Go, go, go!

Lose him.

He's right behind us, dude. He's right behind us.

Shit.

What's this crazy son of a bitch want?

I don't know.

Do not slow down, Gar. I'm serious.

Stay in front.

I'm trying, man.

Come on, Gar! Go, go!

Come on, punch it!

He's on our ass, man!

I see him.

Shit!

Cut him off! Cut him off!

Blast it, Gar.

You got to get more out of her.

I've got it floored!

Hit the brakes. Hit the brakes!

Yeah, Gar.

Yeah, like, flip that piece of shit.

Oh, shit. What do we do?

Drive through it. Drive through it.

Come on, get out. Get out.

Come on. Come on.

Oh, shit.

- What are we doing? - I don't know.

Go back, go back, go back.

I can't see.

Your number's up, boys.

Time to balance the books.

Shh! He's right up there.

If you die tonight,

how do you think you'll be remembered?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd go down as a legend.

You know what I mean? Just think of my funeral, man.

There'd be line, like, 50 girls bawling their eyes out.

I heard Matt's going to be here.

I haven't seen him.

Wherever Matt is is where the real party is.

Hey, Gar?

I'm sorry I got us into this.

All right?

- Oh, shit. - No, wait!

Make sure he's gone.

Shit!

Here.

My feet are numb.

What do you think he wants?

He's got some twisted shit on his brain.

I should cut your fucking hands off right now.

If they weren't worth something, I would, trust me.

Here's the deal.

Matt, you're not going to play this weekend.

You're not going to say a word to anybody.

You're just going to tell your coach you're sick

right before the game.

I didn't have anything to do--

there are no options.

This is no joke.

You play in that game,

I'll take your whole goddamn hand.

Have a nice day off, Martini.

What are we going to do?

What, you have an idea?

No, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

You'll think of something.

Come on, you always think of something.

Matthew, is that you?

Where the hell you been all night?

You been out with your brother?

You better be ready to play some defense Saturday.

Son of a bitch switched you up last time out.

Sorry, I got--i got caught up with Matt.

What were you doing?

Nothing, really.

Why didn't you blow him off?

He's in some kind of trouble, isn't he?

- No. - Liar.

I'm not lying.

Bullshit.

He blew off our interview again.

Where is he this morning?

I-I don't know. I haven't seen him.

Do you mind? I'm trying to write an article.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Who's there?

That is a real song.

How does it go? How does it go?

Morrison, what are you--

sing that shit again.

You know what?

You are the one with the real talent here.

I got nothing. You got it all, man.

How does it go? How does it go?

God, Morrison. How much have you had to drink?

Well, a little dab'll do ya.

You have a pass?

Yes. How you doin'?

Let me...

You know, advanced choir wants me for a solo.

Think about that.

So, uh, how about that interview you still owe me?

The interview.

Did you know that Gar loves you?

My man Gar loves you.

And he's probably gonna be famous some day,

probably the next Hemingway.

So think about that.

What is it?

Gar's needed in the front office.

How bad?

It's not pretty.

Where is he?

Well, he's--

What's going on?

Matthew, what are you doing in here?

I love you.

- I love miss Monar. - Matthew.

You got to help me.

Forget it.

If you can honestly tell me

the thought has never crossed your mind--

Matthew, what is wrong with you?

Not looking!

I'm not! I'm sorry!

Matt?

A little change never hurt anybody.

You know, a little variety?

I love you.

Sorry.

Hey! I love you, miss Monar!

Come on, Matt.

I love you!

Come on.

Hey, just tell 'em it was Matt, all right?

- They can't stop me. - Come on. Come on, Matt.

I am the king.

- I'm the king, Gar. - Come on!

She reminds me of Cameron Diaz.

I know what you're doing, Matt.

Definitely has the eyes, man.

You're trying to get kicked off.

What?

Come on, man.

Yeah, get Perryman.

Yeah, get the-- get the coach.

Get those assholes out here.

I will drink ten shots right in front of them.

They'll never kick me off this team.

You want them to.

You're giving them a reason to.

Let's go to Wendy's, man. I need a double.

We got to think of a plan, man.

You got to play.

I'm starving.

What if--what if we confront this guy?

What if we tell him

if he messes with you, we're gonna call the cops?

Drive, Gar.

Do you know how many college scouts

are gonna be down there tomorrow?

This is huge.

You're not your brother.

You don't know my brother!

Okay.

Okay, I'm just saying...

We need to figure something out.

You have to play.

Don't tell me what I have to do!

What are you, man? What do you do?

I bust my ass five days a week in practice.

All you do is sit on your ass eating popcorn,

waving your stupid towel.

My brother's right about you.

I don't know why I waste my time.

Matt, come on.

Come on.

Matt.

Come on. I'm sorry.

Come on. We'll go to Wendy's.

Matt!

I'm driving.

Come on, damn it!

Mr. Green wasn't very happy with your little auditions.

Make us proud tomorrow, Matthew.

Make us proud.

Whatcha doing in here?

All the fans are out front.

I heard about what you guys did.

Matt told me all about it.

What are you talking about?

You did, didn't you?

You actually robbed this guy.

I totally thought he was bullshitting.

What were you thinking?

I mean, did something snap

inside that little brain of yours?

I don't need this right now.

What's your problem?

He's not playing tomorrow.

Did he tell you that?

Oh, man. You don't get it.

You don't get it either.

You didn't grow up here.

Right.

Wait a minute.

You're not gonna write about it.

You can't prove anything.

It's a rough draft.

When I found him, I came and got you, didn't I?

When you graduate, you're gonna go on to college, right?

Do you ever think about him,

think about where he's gonna be

when someone else is scoring all the points?

He's not your friend. He's your hero.

What's that supposed to mean?

When your heroes fall,

it's easy to replace them.

You just move on, find new ones.

It's not the same thing with friends.

Better be a hell of a good excuse.

Sometimes you just do things,

and there's no reason for it, dad.

Yeah, well, you've lost your car privilege.

- Fine. - Hey! Hey!

You've been spending too much time with Matt Morrison.

He's not everything that you've built him up to be.

He's not.

Cotton candy.

Get your cotton candy.

Take it easy, Matt.

It's just nerves. You're gonna be fine.

You want some water or something?

No. I don't want any water.

Here they come, your Riverton Giants,

bursting onto the court,

and Giants fans here are loving it.

They showed up in droves to see what hopefully will be

the school's eighth championship.

Of course, we're celebrating our 100th season,

a century of memories,

and a state title would be a special one to end it all.

What an atmosphere.

What a matchup of Giants fans.

This is what it's all about, Dave.

Well, I tell you, J.B.,

it's gonna be a great game.

The two best teams in the state are out here tonight.

Of course, the Giants are 23 and 1,

their only loss coming at the hands

of this same Muncie north squad.

That's right.

What are some of the keys for the Giants tonight?

Well, we'll be looking for senior leadership,

especially in the backcourt for Matt Morrison.

He's the key.

Brad, I need your keys.

We're up for the Giants.

- What? - I need your car.

Yeah? Nobody borrows my car.

Brad, give me the keys.

Get up for the Giants.

Everybody get up.

Get up for the Giants.

Thanks. Excuse me.

Everybody get up. Get up for the Giants.

We're about set to go here,

and, Dave, I know you've noticed too.

Matt Morrison has not come out of the locker room.

I assume they were just taking some extra time

with the tape job,

but now I'm getting a report--it's not official--

but a preliminary report that Matt is not feeling well.

Oh, wow. You got to hope--

and tonight I'm so excited.

The Hoosier state's gonna be rockin'.

Get ready, America.

The name is Ben Suder, a PTP-er.

Can you believe this?

Well, we've confirmed it now.

Matt Morrison is suffering from flu-like symptoms.

No word yet on when or if he'll play tonight.

This could be a devastating blow for the Giants.

Well, J.B., you know Matt.

If there's any way he can be on the floor,

he'll be on the floor tonight.

We're about set to go here,

the Giants facing an uphill battle

in what could be their final game of the year.

Winner takes home the state title.

Here we go.

The tap goes to Riverton.

Jared fox brings it up for the Giants.

He's got his work cut out for him, folks.

It sure is bad,

and Matt Morrison remains in the locker room.

Brenner taking the inside.

Giants with it now, trailing by 5.

We're about halfway through the first period.

Bill's inside, back out to fox.

Looking. Threw it away.

Giants appear completely out of sync.

Now, there's a trick.

Do you remember me?

I was in here a couple weeks ago.

Yeah.

You know your hoop.

I need to talk to the manager.

He's--he's about to have a lot of trouble with the police.

I think I'd better talk to him.

He's behind the bar.

Thanks.

What the hell?

You bet it.

Sit down.

He's your brother.

He'd do anything for you.

I said sit down.

You'd better keep drinking, asshole.

I told you to sit down.

Want to try somebody your own size?

That's what I thought.

Hey, man, you all right?

You're not going anywhere.

Now sit your ass down.

Take it easy, man.

I said sit down.

Are there bullets in that thing?

You're not a killer.

You're not even a thief.

It's just a bunch of bullshit with you.

Hey, stop him.

Stop him! Don't let him leave.

Suder brings it up for the devils.

Aagh!

In my truck. Come on. In my truck.

Kramer to Ferguson, right side.

To button down low.

Outside to Kramer, to suder, top of the key,

to Wallace, back to suder, driving.

He goes up and scores!

Devils lead.

6:24 to go here in the second.

Son of a...

Pull over, you little shit!

You're dead meat, asshole!

Nudge him. Come on! Come on!

Move him off!

Please take your ticket.

Crash!

Shit, my knee.

Giants trailing by 15 now.

Time winding down here, first half.

Devils looking for the last shot.

They've done just about everything they've wanted to.

Moore free to shoot.

Suder at the rim. Slams it.

Suder on the backcourt. There's the hole.

The end of the first half,

mercifully the end,

the devils extending their lead to 17 points.

I'm really disappointed in the effort I've seen so far

from our ball club.

You hate to dwell on it,

but I really don't see the Giants...

Oh, shit.

Prock.

Hey, where are you going?

We're up 17. All we got to do is win.

Somebody's got to step up.

Mills, you're open in the corner all night long.

Get your feet set. Take the shot.

Stop being intimidated by the stupid-ass zone.

I know you'll put it up. Don't.

What the hell are you doing in here?

Where's Matt?

Jerry, who's on the door out there?

Listen. Hey! Hey!

Mills, Brenner, everyone,

listen up right here, now, focus.

Matt.

Devils back on the court now.

The Giants, on the other hand,

clearly spending some extra time in front of the chalkboard,

see if they can't get things turned around

here in the second half.

All right, let's go now.

Move. Come on. This is it.

16 minutes.

Everything you got.

Leave some skin on the floor. Let's go.

Nah, you're full of shit.

What?

My brother would never do that, Gar.

Never.

You think I'm lying to you?

You'd do anything to see us win.

I'm not lying, Matt.

You know what happened.

You know your brother did this to you.

Stop, all right?

You got to deal with this.

You got to deal with the fact that he did this to you.

Your brother's a piece of shit.

Hey, shut the hell up!

All right?

Why are you doing this?

What do you owe him?

I don't owe him shit!

All right?

You don't know him.

You don't know my brother, man. You don't know!

You know the truth.

I know you know.

He didn't do nothing.

If you want to end up like your brother...

Go ahead.

Maybe you two deserve each other.

Bridge.

What are you doing here?

What does it look like I'm doing?

Are--are you okay?

Did you get into a fight?

Yeah.

And they kicked you out?

It didn't happen in there.

What's your story?

I mean, the guy on the radio said it's only halftime.

It's pretty much over.

Oh, so you're giving up.

I'm not the one who gave up.

Wallace with it, left side.

Puts up a little jumper. Hit it!

You got my keys?

You haven't missed a thing.

We suck.

Devils going the other way now.

Wallace underneath to Horton.

Got a layup. Put it in.

Let's go. Get back. All right.

Let's get back.

Devils with full-court pressure now.

Brenner in the backcourt, looking.

Throws the long pass.

Threw it away.

What is he thinking?

The decision-making has just been awful.

Giants trail by 20. Just getting blown out.

Under six minutes to go in the third.

Wait a second. Maybe a sign of life.

Matt Morrison has come out of the locker room.

It looks like he's gonna give it a go.

What's it mean?

Probably nothing.

All right. Let's go!

Matt Morrison finally out on the court for the Giants,

and he has definitely got his work cut out for him.

Giants trail by 20

with just under five minutes left in the third.

The crowd's finally getting back into it here,

giant fans clinging to hope.

Talk about having a mountain to climb,

that's what we've got right now.

Morrison from deep.

Yeah!

White, three.

We're all tied up, 64 apiece.

Come on, defense!

Devils with it now.

They're gonna get Wharton on the touch foul.

Devils pull back ahead,

what a move by Wallace.

He is having a monster game.

And Eric Wallace will step to the line

with an opportunity to give the devils a three-point lead.

No way!

Giants fans are making all kinds of noise!

Morrison will bring it up.

A huge trick.

Need to score here.

Giants trail by a bucket.

Under 40 to go.

They can tie it.

Come on, Matt!

Come on.

Now the Giants tie it,

what a pass by Matt Morrison.

A lot of big-time players

are making some big-time plays late.

Defense! Come on!

Under 20 to go, all tied at 66.

Suder sets it up.

We need a stop here.

Morrison all over it.

Time-out!

68-66 now, Giants down by 2 points,

and there's only 10 seconds left on the clock.

This possession is critical for us.

Bob Gordon drawing up the play.

You have to think they'll get the ball to Matt.

Whatever was keeping him in the locker room,

he's shaken it off here and played what I'd say is

the best half of basketball of his career.

This is it!

I look for Matt to go coast to coast.

Just get him the ball.

Ten to go.

Need to make something happen here.

Morrison says clear it out.

Matt with the ball.

He'll bring it up. Suder all over him.

Come on!

Morrison across the timeline.

Dishes to rush on the wing.

Back to Morrison, suder in his face.

Puts it up just inside the three-point line.

Push!

No! It's a foul!

It's a foul! Yeah!

- What? - He called a foul!

That was definite contact.

There was definite contact there.

White, 3, pushed.

Two shots.

Unbelievable.

How can you make that damn call?

Both: Go. Go. Whoo!

68-66.

And Matt Morrison will step to the line to shoot two big ones.

He's the man you want in this situation,

shooting 92% all year.

He's been perfect from the charity stripe

throughout the tournament.

Plain and simple,

he's the best free-throw shooter I've ever seen.

Good luck, Matt!

Two shots.

Rest on the first.

Morrison to shoot two.

This is all you, man!

Morrison to make it a one-point game.

Takes his customary dribbles.

He eyes it. He flies it.

- He's got it! - Yes!

68-67, one to go.

Matt Morrison has hit six straight tonight.

He'll have one more free-throw,

a chance to send it to overtime.

And you have to think

the Giants would have the momentum.

They've come all the way back here in the second half.

The last time these two teams met,

they went to overtime.

And apparently it's gonna happen again.

You can't hear yourself down here right now.

Complete bedlam.

Bang!

Boom!

69-68, Giants win it.

The Giants win it! State champ.

Matt Morrison on a tip at the buzzer.

He followed his own mystery throw and put it back in.

What a play. What an effort.

What a game for Matt Morrison.

- Whoo! - Giants win state.

The Giants win state!

Yeah!

State champ, hey!

Hey, state champs, man!

- State! - Yeah!

- Yeah! - We won!

Come on, Chris, put him up!

State champions!

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Hey, Matt. Matt.

Matt.

Congratulations on a great game tonight.

So...

Are you sure that Matt doesn't need a ride?

Shut up.

You really think you had something to do with this?

Yeah.

Maybe a little bit.

So let me ask you a question.

Was tonight the greatest night of your life?

The night's not over.

Really?
