Seven, eight, nine.

God, will you be quiet?

I'm trying to get

some work done.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

You just made me lose count.

One!

One!

Dad!

What is your brother doing to

you now, kaci?

Keenan won't be quiet,

and I'm working on a proposal to

get the school to switch from

incandescent lighting to compact

fluorescent.

You don't have any homework?

You don't have any homework?

All done.

And since I've worked my mind,

it's time to work on the body.

A few curls for the girls.

A few curls for the girls.

I'd let kaci touch them, but

you always said not to play with

guns.

Guns.

Are you flexing yet?

Very funny.

Kaci.

Kaci.

Punch me.

All right, I just did

200 sit-ups.

My abs are rock solid.

My abs are rock solid.

Punch me.

It won't hurt.

Can't hurt steel, right?

Steel.

Can I?

Can I?

At this point, I'd insist on

it.

Just--just--just in the

Just--just--just in the

stomach; Not the face.

My face is too pretty.

Ugh!

Ugh!

[Chuckles]

[Straining] Told you it

wouldn't hurt.

[Laughing]

Alex?

Have you seen my cell phone?

It's by the sink in the

upstairs bathroom.

Oh, thanks, babe.

Mom, Keenan won't stop being

Mom, Keenan won't stop being

annoying.

Mom, kaci won't stop being

a nerd.

Look, you have a room, and

you have a room.

This is suddenly no longer our

problem.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

God, I love it when my

English professor gets all

tough.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Get over here.

Ooh!

I finished my worksheet,

daddy.

Of course you did, baby.

Look, I'm talking to your mom

look, I'm talking to your mom

right now, but when we're done,

I will go in there and check

your homework, okay?

Question.

Yes?

Yes?

If I live here, and I go to

school here, wouldn't my

homework just be called "work"?

Answer: Daddy can call it

Answer: Daddy can call it

whatever he wants to, because

daddy is the teacher.

I can't wait until I'm a

daddy.

Oh, sweetie, you know--

I know, mom.

I'm just being sarcastic.

Uh...

[Laughing]

Sarcastic?

Sarcastic?

That is a very, very big word

for a seven-year-old, babe.

No, it's only a very big word

if I'm not their teacher.

If I'm not their teacher.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Well, maybe you could teach

me a lesson.

Ooh, okay.

Ooh, okay.

Well, lookee here.

I'm gonna go in there, check her

homework.

And when I'm done, I will come

give you a private lesson.

Oh, well, then, you know

Oh, well, then, you know

what?

I'm gonna be waiting upstairs.

All right.

I'm going upstairs.

But baby, you might want to

start stretching...

Start stretching...

Okay.

Because I have a very

extensive lesson plan.

Yes, well, stretch I do.

Yes.

Well, no, I got it, baby.

Well, no, I got it, baby.

I like that.

Hey, what?

Glutes are nice.

Ding!

Good morning, Ms. Helen.

Oh, who, me?

I'm great.

Yeah, thank you for asking.

Yeah, thank you for asking.

Huh?

What are you wrapped up in?

Oh, I had a dream last night

Oh, I had a dream last night

I'm trying to interpret, so I

logged on to madame lefluer's

online psychics.

Oh, Ms. Helen, you don't have

Oh, Ms. Helen, you don't have

to do that.

No, no, no.

Tell me the dream.

I can help.

I can help.

Look at you believing that.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I dreamt that I was on

the beach, and this actor--i

don't know his name, but he has

very pretty lips.

Very pretty lips.

Idris Elba.

Oh, mmm!

Yes, Idris.

So Idris rides up on this brown

so Idris rides up on this brown

horse, and he says,

horse, and he says,

"Helen, hop on."

And then we rode off in the

sunset.

Sunset.

I mean, come on.

Yeah!

You know what's curious is

that horses represent--

that horses represent--

I don't care about the horse.

I just want to know, when am I

gonna meet Mr. Pretty lips?

Gonna meet Mr. Pretty lips?

Okay, Ms. Helen, it's a

dream, so he just symbolizes

something.

You're never gonna meet him.

You're never gonna meet him.

I should have stuck with the

online psychic.

Online psychic.

First of all, you need to

watch your damn mouth.

There's my 10:00.

Ding!

Ding!

Rasheed, who were you

talking to?

Talking to?

There's no one in the elevator.

Some fools on the first

floor.

They think just because the

door's closed that the

conversation's over.

Conversation's over.

Now they got my head hurting.

I think I need some

acupuncture.

Are you a fan of

acupuncture?

Acupuncture?

No, not a fan at all.

But it's proof that stabbing

people can make things better.

Oh.

Oh.

You know, I know a great

acupuncturist in long island.

I think you'll love him.

I think you'll love him.

Rasheed, it's been like 30

minutes.

Minutes.

We can keep talking about your

favorite games in the NBA,

but I feel like you're avoiding

dealing with why you're really

dealing with why you're really

here.

I'm not avoiding anything.

This thing is interesting.

This thing is interesting.

Really?

My fake ram's

horn is interesting?

Oh, that's what this is?

Oh, that's what this is?

Yeah.

Rasheed, rasheed.

Oh, what?

Oh, what?

I'm only here because of

all the haters.

[Laughs]

The haters?

Yes, the ones that's out to

get me because they're jealous.

Get me because they're jealous.

Everyone says I have a problem

controlling my temper.

But the truth is, I'm the real

but the truth is, I'm the real

victim.

Really?

Okay, 'cause a few weeks ago,

you beat up the Phoenix suns

you beat up the Phoenix suns

mascot.

No, dead that, Dr. Reed.

He was mocking me.

He was mocking me.

Okay, I'm deading it.

I'm deading it.

But what about when you--what

about when you choked the ref?

Were you the victim there?

Were you the victim there?

He made a bad call.

I got flamed up a little, but I

let go as soon as he went limp.

Let go as soon as he went limp.

So should I dead that

one too?

Dead that.

Oh.

Oh.

What about when you told the

cameraman--and I'm going to read

this word for word--

this word for word--

"I hope you have a wide angle

lens so you can film me beating

your fat ass"?

Your fat ass"?

He's probably eating salad as

we speak.

But look, I'm the center for the

but look, I'm the center for the

New York lights.

I have to be aggressive to keep

my job.

So you're worried about

So you're worried about

losing your job.

But, rasheed, how do we prevent

that if we don't get to the root

that if we don't get to the root

of these issues?

I get everyone judging me.

They've never taken a shot on

the court.

The court.

If you have a bad day at work,

nobody knows.

Somebody knows.

That person leaves here not

helped, and then everyone they

helped, and then everyone they

come into contact with knows it:

Their friends and their family

and who knows?

I mean, maybe instead of dealing

I mean, maybe instead of dealing

with their own issues, they go

to a game.

And they take it out on the

players.

So you're saying you're

So you're saying you're

responsible for people messing

with me.

No.

What I'm saying is that

what I'm saying is that

everybody that walks through

that door is an emotional being.

And most things that happen in

our lives elicit an emotional

our lives elicit an emotional

response.

But your response doesn't have

to be impulsive or reactionary.

So what do you want me to do,

So what do you want me to do,

just sit there and take it like

a punk?

Where I'm from, you don't let

somebody play you and let it

ride.

Ride.

They get dealt with.

Yes, but dealing with it

physically, the way you have

been, is not okay.

Been, is not okay.

Look, don't get me wrong.

Okay, rasheed?

I'm not saying that anger is

never justified.

But misplaced anger, however,

but misplaced anger, however,

can have serious consequences.

Like the NBA making me

come here?

Come here?

Yeah.

So what do you want me to do

about it?

About it?

Stop and think about what

you're thinking about.

And then I want you to ask

and then I want you to ask

yourself, why do you feel the

way you feel?

You don't have to judge it or

justify it.

Justify it.

And then once you've done that,

smile.

Smile.

You want me to smile?

I want you to smile.

It triggers the brain to think

everything is okay.

Everything is okay.

Watch, okay.

I--i am gonna say something to

you that maybe a player would

say to you on the court, okay?

Say to you on the court, okay?

So, like, um--okay.

[Deeply] Uh, so, uh--

I'm sorry--i just--okay.

I'm sorry--i just--okay.

Um, yo, man.

Yo, man, your dribbling stinks.

Yo, man, your dribbling stinks.

Huh!

Yo, man, what?

What--what you say?

Your dribbling stinks!

Your dribbling stinks!

Well--huh--yo, man--huh!

Give me a smile.

Give me a smile.

Come on!

Fine, I'm deading it.

[Laughs]

No, I think I can do that.

No, I think I can do that.

You can?

Okay, I'm aliving it.

I'm aliving it.

[Deeply] Yo, I'm aliving it,

[deeply] Yo, I'm aliving it,

man, 'cause I got some

mad hops, yo.

Whatever--

[grunting]

[Speaking normally] Okay, sorry.

That's too much.

That's too much.

But it's good.

Do you see?

Just smile.

Okay.

Okay.

Whoo!

Long day.

I'm beat.

Must be hard having all those

Must be hard having all those

clients.

[Laughs]

I guess it just means I'm good

at what I do, unlike some

people.

People.

What's that supposed to mean?

She things she knows what's

best for people.

What kind of person would I

be if I knowingly let someone

be if I knowingly let someone

get help from someone who's

unqualified?

[Phone ringing]

Hey.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, sweetie.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

Three orders of spicy wings, two

lemon pepper.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, enjoy the game.

Bye!

Ugh!

Gabby, honey, honey!

Gabby, honey, honey!

Honey, it's the wrong floor.

Does she know it's the wrong

floor?

I don't know.

I mind my business.

I mind my business.

Daddy, when I grow up, can I

be a basketball cheerleader?

Be a basketball cheerleader?

Uh, baby, when you grow up,

you can be anything you want.

You can be anything you want.

But let's make that the

last idea.

All: Oh!

All: Oh!

Mommy's home!

And I come with hot wings.

Yeah, thanks, babe.

Yeah, thanks, babe.

What's wrong?

The lights are losing.

They're not just losing.

They're getting destroyed.

They're getting destroyed.

Probably not working out enough.

That's so weird.

That's so weird.

I thought this was supposed to

be an easy game for them.

What's going on?

Rasheed robeson.

He's running up and down the

court, just smilin', giving

court, just smilin', giving

people the Lane.

He even got dunked on

really ugly...

Twice.

It wouldn't happen if he was

It wouldn't happen if he was

working out.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I'm getting kind of tight.

I can stop for a minute.

I can stop for a minute.

Thank you.

Yeah, rasheed is being sweet,

and he's taking the team down.

And he's taking the team down.

This guy got elbowed, and

rasheed went to get him ice to

prevent swelling.

Prevent swelling.

Twice.

Rasheed, you seemed a little

off of your game tonight.

Off of your game tonight.

Are you okay?

I'm outstanding.

Why do you ask?

Well, you weren't very

aggressive out there.

And even when stoutermeier

and even when stoutermeier

mouthed off to you, you just

smiled at him.

Well, clearly, that guy has

some issues that he needs to

work out.

You seemed like a

You seemed like a

changed man.

Thank you.

I want to give a shout-out to my

psychologist, Dr. Carla Reed,

for helping me work through my

for helping me work through my

anger issues.

What's up, doc?

Well, there you have it.

Rasheed robeson has turned over

a new leaf, all thanks to

a new leaf, all thanks to

Dr. Carla Reed.

Now, whether that's a good thing

or not, you'll have to decide.

Mommy, he said your

Mommy, he said your

name on TV.

[Dryly] Yippee.

[Dryly] Yippee.

Dad.

I thought we could always get a

I thought we could always get a

ride if it was an emergency.

Well, I don't think walking

from the bus stop in bad weather

qualifies as an emergency.

Besides, I think it builds

besides, I think it builds

character.

But suppose, because the

streets are so bad, a truck

streets are so bad, a truck

popped a curb and hit us.

Well, then you'd get to ride

in an ambulance, which is a lot

more fun than my car.

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

So you guys, besides the

rain, how was school?

Not good.

All of our friends at school are

all of our friends at school are

mad at us because the

lights stink.

I've lost all my cool points.

It's gonna be a whole semester

it's gonna be a whole semester

of rebuilding.

Pshh, boys.

I mean, can you believe him,

acting like this is somehow all

my fault?

Janay verdan, the forward on

Janay verdan, the forward on

my basketball team, likes the

same boy that I like.

And she stole him from me by

saying that my mom is the reason

the lights suck.

And now I'm gonna die an old

and now I'm gonna die an old

lady with a bunch of cats and

talking birds.

So thanks for that, mom!

It was--i don't--

It was--i don't--

maybe it's just me, but I have

no idea what that story

was about.

Janay, a boy, the bird and

Janay, a boy, the bird and

some cats and the lights, and

it's all your fault.

Hey, I'm impressed she got it

hey, I'm impressed she got it

all out in one breath.

That's got to be some kind of

record or something.

I'm not mad at you, mom.

I'm not mad at you, mom.

Oh, thanks, honey.

Aw.

Aw.

Just don't tell anybody we're

cool until the drama dies down.

Okay?

Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for understanding.

Wow.

Wow.

[Laughs]

Wow.

Hey, I'm on your side, babe.

Hey, I'm on your side, babe.

All right, you know how kids

can be.

Everything is blown out of

proportion.

[All shouting]

[All shouting]

Wow! Oh, my god.

You're soaked.

Babe, is it still raining

babe, is it still raining

outside?

No, I had to run home.

Lights fans aren't the most

forgiving people.

Oh, you too?

Oh, you too?

Did they threaten you?

I don't know.

They sounded like threats,

but I was moving way too fast.

But I was moving way too fast.

[Phone ringing]

[Phone ringing]

Doctor's office.

Hello?

Oh!

Oh!

Hey, Kenny.

How is my son?

I miss you too, boo-boo.

How's Afghanistan?

How's Afghanistan?

Well, besides that.

And that.

And that.

Okay.

Good.

Good.

Yeah.

Are you staying out of the sun?

Well, I don't want you to get

overheated.

Overheated.

Put--put your sergeant on

this phone.

This phone.

Wh--

no!

You made sergeant?

You made sergeant?

Oh, I am so proud of you.

Oh, that's why you're calling.

Oh, that's why you're calling.

[[Laughing]

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

All right, you be careful.

I love you too.

Bye.

Bye.

Morning, Ms. Helen.

Good morning.

Oh.

Oh.

Do I have any messages?

Oh, you only got one

from Dr. Reed.

She said she's been trying to

she said she's been trying to

reach you, but you're not

answering your phone.

Mm-hmm.

Which one of her faces made the

call?

Oh, I better cancel my

Oh, I better cancel my

vacation plans.

Trouble in paradise?

I could feel the tension between

I could feel the tension between

you two.

Okay, don't look at me.

We were cool till she started

insulting me.

Well, that's how she is.

She's been insulting me for the

she's been insulting me for the

last two days.

She thinks just because she got

a little piece of paper from

some fancy school that she's

smarter than everybody.

Smarter than everybody.

Exactly! Thank you.

Uh-huh!

I happen to be a very qualified

acupuncturist.

What kind of qualifications

What kind of qualifications

do you need to turn people into

pin cushions?

No, I'm talking about psychics.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Hi.

Hi.

Carla, the other day on the

Carla, the other day on the

elevator, you said something

about unqualified people.

What were you talking about?

[Laughs]

Ms. Helen's online psychic.

Ms. Helen's online psychic.

Do you remember when I

first got married

and we went to that psychic?

Oh, my god, yeah.

Oh, my god, yeah.

And she said your first marriage

would last forever; Not!

Whatever!

I am so sorry.

I thought you were talking

about me.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Wait, that's why you were upset?

Yeah.

Oh, no. Oh, my god.

Gabby, no way.

I would never say that you're

I would never say that you're

unqualified.

Girl, I know how hard you worked

at school.

Thank you.

Then why did you refer your

client to another acupuncturist

instead of sending him to me?

Instead of sending him to me?

'Cause he's crazy!

Ms. Helen!

Confidentiality.

Oh, I didn't take an oath.

Oh, I didn't take an oath.

[Sighs]

I referred him to Dr. Ralph,

'cause Dr. Ralph is no-nonsense,

and he's 6'8".

Okay, that is true.

How you do that?

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Don't hate me. You're crazy.

[Laughter]

Dr. Reed?

Yeah.

What is your sign?

What is your sign?

I'm a capricorn. Why?

Oh, "today you will be

reunited with an old friend

reunited with an old friend

of yours."

The stars never lie.

Bye, Gabby.

Bye, Gabby.

Okay.

So how are you feeling?

I'm feeling like my contract

I'm feeling like my contract

is up.

No one's gonna resign me,

and I owe it all to you, doc.

Or should I think about what i'm

or should I think about what i'm

thinking about?

Okay, let me get this

straight.

First, you were losing your

first, you were losing your

career because you were

too angry.

And that was everyone else's

fault.

Now you're losing your career

because you've lost your edge,

and that's my fault.

And that's my fault.

There must be something in your

life that you are

responsible for.

I got a pretty good contract

I got a pretty good contract

as a teenager.

Okay.

So you were responsible for

being a successful young man.

But I'm not a teenager

But I'm not a teenager

anymore.

I'm going up against younger and

faster guys every night.

I have to be intense just to

keep up.

Keep up.

Do you know how many guys in the

NBA are in their 30s?

No.

Me either, but not many.

Me either, but not many.

What are you smiling at?

Listen to what you just said.

You don't even know how many

you don't even know how many

players are over 30, yet you're

concerned about it.

So you're just gonna

laugh at me?

No, no, no, no, no.

Your concern is totally natural.

Your concern is totally natural.

But if there aren't that many

players over 30 still playing,

then can you imagine how good

then can you imagine how good

you must be to stay in the game?

You must be really talented.

The glass is half full kind

The glass is half full kind

of thing?

There you go.

But how do I shake this

feeling, though?

Feeling, though?

Well, there's nothing you can

do about getting older.

But you can work on being wiser

but you can work on being wiser

and accepting that you're not a

teenager anymore and realize

that your level of skill is an

that your level of skill is an

asset to any team.

Things I can control, huh?

That's right.

That's right.

Okay.

Hey, by the way,

I lost that number to that

acupuncturist.

Acupuncturist.

I have a friend--a really

good friend who's across the

hall that's an acupuncturist.

Why you didn't give me their

Why you didn't give me their

number in the first place?

What do you think, I was gonna

kill them or something?

Well--

I'm just playing.

I'm just playing.

I'm just playing.

I can do this anger

management thing.

It's fun.

I accept full responsibility

for last night's loss.

I was off my game.

I can't blame nobody

I can't blame nobody

except myself.

But I also accept full

responsibility for tonight's

victory, baby.

All: Yeah!

All: Yeah!

There you have it.

Oh, I'm so happy to no longer

be the pariah of New York

sports fans.

Sports fans.

Yeah, I second that.

In fact, I think this calls for

a celebration.

A celebration.

Jerk!

Takes one to know one.

I need my beauty rest.

Be quiet, you two!

Be quiet, you two!

Excuse me.

Hey, all of you be quiet!

Hey, all of you be quiet!

[Door slams]

Where was I?

Yeah, so are you ready to

celebrate?

Celebrate?

Oh, yeah, baby, I'm all

warmed up.

I'm ready to go.

Uh-uh. No, no.

For what I have in mind, we're

beyond stretching.

Beyond stretching.

We need to go a little ancient

eastern.

Oh! Ah, da-da-da-da-da-da.

Oh! Ah, da-da-da-da-da-da.

[Laughter]

So it's yoga time.

Let me see your down dog.

Let me see your down dog.

Here you go, baby.

Yeah.

Whoo-whoo!
