1
00:00:12,111 --> 00:00:13,751
Arliss: For most of us,
2
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:15,983
the dream of becoming a champion
3
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:18,849
remains a fantasy.
4
00:00:18,918 --> 00:00:20,488
But for a special few,
5
00:00:20,553 --> 00:00:23,023
it is very much a reality.
6
00:00:23,089 --> 00:00:24,419
We cheer them.
7
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:26,131
We live through them.
8
00:00:26,192 --> 00:00:28,902
Athletes are our last warriors.
9
00:00:28,962 --> 00:00:32,832
My job is to make
their dreams come true.
10
00:00:34,133 --> 00:00:36,173
My name is Arliss Michaels,
11
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:38,396
I represent athletes.
12
00:00:38,471 --> 00:00:39,971
These are my stories.
13
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:43,339
♪ Don't know what it is
that makes me love you so ♪
14
00:00:43,409 --> 00:00:46,909

17

♪ I only wanna be with you ♪
25
00:01:25,852 --> 00:01:28,592
Arliss: Later in life,
long after the speed,
26
00:01:28,655 --> 00:01:31,385
the agility, the physical
prowess are gone,
27
00:01:31,457 --> 00:01:33,187
the student athlete
will always have
28
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:35,329
what no one can take from him...
29
00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:36,995
an education.
30
00:01:37,063 --> 00:01:41,073
One particular student
athlete comes to mind.
31
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:42,244
A few years ago,
32
00:01:42,302 --> 00:01:44,302
I was returning from
a Japanese/U.S.
33
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:45,710
goodwill baseball tour,
34
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,342
when our plane
was forced to land
35
00:01:47,407 --> 00:01:48,977
at an air base in Alaska.
36
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:50,912
I know I'm gonna
put Gibson up to hit
37
00:01:50,977 --> 00:01:52,747
because he's capable
of hitting the ball
38
00:01:52,812 --> 00:01:53,852
out of the ballpark.
39
00:01:53,913 --> 00:01:56,223
Eckersley's gonna give
him the pitch he wants to hit.
40
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:58,892
Oh, not this Kirk Gibson
horseshit story again!
41
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:01,852
The fact is, if Eckersley
doesn't walk Mike Davis,
42
00:02:01,921 --> 00:02:03,721
Gibson doesn't even come to bat!
43
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:04,890
What do you know?
44
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:07,158
You got me stuck here in Alaska!
45
00:02:07,226 --> 00:02:08,696
What the hell's going on?
46
00:02:08,761 --> 00:02:10,301
It was either stop
here and refuel,
47
00:02:10,363 --> 00:02:11,863
or crash over Vancouver.
48
00:02:11,931 --> 00:02:14,771
Yeah, but how long does it
take to put fuel in an airplane?
49
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:16,404
I'm hungry!
50
00:02:16,469 --> 00:02:21,669
I want some linguini,
rigatoni, mostaccioli...
51
00:02:21,741 --> 00:02:22,981
Jesus, that Kirk Gibson story
52
00:02:23,042 --> 00:02:25,182
goes into extra
innings, don't it?
53
00:02:25,244 --> 00:02:26,414
How you doin', Arliss?
54
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:27,779
Great Mac, but we gotta hurry.
55
00:02:27,847 --> 00:02:29,717
Lasorda gets mean
when he's hungry.
56
00:02:29,782 --> 00:02:30,782
Where is he?
57
00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:32,650
Show me the green.
58
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:34,449
Show me the goods.
59
00:02:36,289 --> 00:02:38,089
Hey Arliss, when
I get outta here,
60
00:02:38,157 --> 00:02:40,517
what are the odds of you getting
me a job over at your place?
61
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,960
At AMM? Oh, those jobs are
almost impossible to come by.
62
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:45,730
Uh, where is this guy?
63
00:02:45,798 --> 00:02:47,398
Feast your eyes.
64
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,679
Holy mother of God!
65
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:57,642
Arliss: I happened
upon a young boy
66
00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:00,250
with a modicum of raw talent.
67
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:02,523
Mac: His name is Kahoutek Evans.
68
00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:04,222
Kahoutek?
69
00:03:05,184 --> 00:03:06,394
He was conceived on the night
70
00:03:06,452 --> 00:03:08,252
of the Comet Kahoutek.
71
00:03:08,321 --> 00:03:09,921
Comet, huh?
72
00:03:09,989 --> 00:03:11,759
His dad was a bush pilot.
73
00:03:11,824 --> 00:03:15,034
Cherokee, African,
Hispanic... something.
74
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:18,590
That's his mother over there.
75
00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:20,141
Sure, everybody
knew he had a bad leg,
76
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:22,366
but I'm telling you,
he had the opportunity
77
00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:23,865
to hit the ball
outta the ballpark.
78
00:03:23,936 --> 00:03:25,436
No, no, no, no, no, no.
79
00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:28,705
If Davis doesn't walk,
Gibson doesn't get to hit.
80
00:03:30,243 --> 00:03:32,153
He's got a natural stroke.
81
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:35,651
Our people develop strong
muscles over the years.
82
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:37,175
Playing tennis?
83
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:38,990
Clubbing seals!
84
00:03:40,753 --> 00:03:45,593
(laughs)
85
00:03:45,658 --> 00:03:47,828
Arliss: Not giving much
thought to the chance meeting,
86
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,934
I quickly lost touch
with the family.
87
00:03:49,996 --> 00:03:52,126
Ahhhhhh!
88
00:03:54,167 --> 00:03:57,437
Merry Christmas, whoo-hoo-hoo!
89
00:03:57,503 --> 00:04:01,343
Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas!
90
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:05,307
Merry Christmas. Oh ho, ho,
Mer... let's play some tennis.
91
00:04:05,378 --> 00:04:07,408
Arliss: Then one
day out of the blue,
92
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Kikomo Evans sent a clipping,
and unbeknownst to me,
93
00:04:10,783 --> 00:04:13,223
the young Comet had
received an at-large in
94
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:14,946
to the Australian Open.
95
00:04:24,297 --> 00:04:26,627
The 17-year-old
shocked the tennis world
96
00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:29,499
by upsetting three
highly ranked opponents.
97
00:04:29,569 --> 00:04:30,569
Furthermore,
98
00:04:30,636 --> 00:04:33,236
his on-court charisma
and go-for-broke style
99
00:04:33,306 --> 00:04:35,166
endeared him to the public.
100
00:04:38,945 --> 00:04:41,575
I have seen the
future of tennis,
101
00:04:41,647 --> 00:04:44,777
and his name is Comet Evans.
102
00:04:44,851 --> 00:04:46,291
I flew all the way down under
103
00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:49,122
just to see your boy, Arliss.
104
00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:50,488
What's it gonna take?
105
00:04:50,556 --> 00:04:53,056
Oh Garrett, you know
that Comet cannot maintain
106
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:55,286
his amateur status
and have representation.
107
00:04:55,361 --> 00:04:58,531
I'm just a long-time
friend of the family.
108
00:04:58,598 --> 00:04:59,728
Like an uncle.
109
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:03,639
Well, "Uncle" Arliss,
I want the Comet.
110
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:07,143
Garrett, I'm only a
consultant to the mother.
111
00:05:07,206 --> 00:05:09,576
But, hypothetically speaking,
112
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:12,152
if Comet were to
turn professional,
113
00:05:12,211 --> 00:05:14,981
what kind of numbers would
the Prince of Puma be talking?
114
00:05:24,690 --> 00:05:26,260
(loud whisper) Make it happen.
115
00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:29,627
(Australian accent) Right, mate.
116
00:05:29,695 --> 00:05:31,955
(whistling)
117
00:05:32,031 --> 00:05:34,371
Arliss: Even though he
eventually lost the semi-finals,
118
00:05:34,433 --> 00:05:36,003
Comet had made his mark.
119
00:05:36,068 --> 00:05:37,538
Congratulations, Kikomo.
120
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:40,043
As of tomorrow, you
have a very rich son.
121
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:41,766
Did Uncle Eli die?
122
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:42,841
Better.
123
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:45,375
Garrett Kettleman has
made him his pet project.
124
00:05:45,444 --> 00:05:50,984
Soon you will be swimming in
ten million Puma pelts. (laughs)
125
00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:52,320
He must not turn professional.
126
00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:54,215
He's too young.
127
00:05:54,287 --> 00:05:55,447
What?
128
00:05:55,521 --> 00:05:57,691
I want him to finish school.
129
00:05:57,757 --> 00:06:00,887
He did! He graduated last month!
130
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,260
High school, that's not enough.
131
00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:05,259
I want him to go to college.
132
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:06,931
College?
133
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:08,769
To university.
134
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:10,835
Arliss: Comet could have
succumbed to temptation
135
00:06:10,903 --> 00:06:12,243
and turned professional.
136
00:06:12,305 --> 00:06:13,965
But I was so happy
that he decided
137
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,410
to continue his
education, that I burst out...
138
00:06:16,475 --> 00:06:18,235
Son of a bitch!
139
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:20,581
Shit, Arliss, you've been
working on Comet turnin' pro
140
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:21,706
for 10 years!
141
00:06:21,781 --> 00:06:22,931
Why does she
want him in college?
142
00:06:22,949 --> 00:06:24,349
Uh, college athletes
make a fraction
143
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:25,747
of what the pros can make.
144
00:06:25,818 --> 00:06:27,028
Why shouldn't he go to college?
145
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:28,653
Education is important.
146
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:31,121
Oh, this coming from a
man who majored in bong!
147
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,560
At least I have a degree.
148
00:06:33,626 --> 00:06:35,356
Arliss, didn't you
go to college?
149
00:06:35,428 --> 00:06:36,698
Of course I did.
150
00:06:36,762 --> 00:06:38,702
He just didn't graduate.
151
00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:42,009
Look, look, we're
getting off the track here.
152
00:06:42,034 --> 00:06:43,644
This isn't about me.
153
00:06:43,703 --> 00:06:45,613
This is about a young
man with the potential
154
00:06:45,671 --> 00:06:48,171
to elevate tennis
to new heights.
155
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:50,581
The potential to open
up the game to people
156
00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:51,783
of all his races.
157
00:06:51,844 --> 00:06:54,714
The potential to make this
agency a shitload of money!
158
00:06:54,780 --> 00:06:55,920
How are you gonna
keep other agents
159
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:57,428
from crashing Comet
while he's in college?
160
00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:59,720
You know, if you can't
officially represent him,
161
00:06:59,785 --> 00:07:02,045
how are you gonna
keep a leash on the kid?
162
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:05,689
Lunch is ready.
163
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:08,758
Please welcome the newest
member of the AMM family,
164
00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:10,628
our executive
consultant of nutrition,
165
00:07:10,696 --> 00:07:12,666
Kikomo Evans.
166
00:07:12,732 --> 00:07:14,472
Kikomo: For your
dining pleasure,
167
00:07:14,533 --> 00:07:17,473
I will be mixing
traditional Alaskan dishes
168
00:07:17,536 --> 00:07:19,606
with California cuisine.
169
00:07:19,672 --> 00:07:22,412
And what's on the
menu for today?
170
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:27,253
- Sperm whale soup followed by caribou paninis!
- (gagging noises)
171
00:07:30,216 --> 00:07:32,346
Mmmmmmm...
172
00:07:32,418 --> 00:07:33,518
great!
173
00:07:34,921 --> 00:07:37,391
I look forward to
improving your wellness.
174
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:41,292
Bye-bye.
175
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:45,896
Arliss, you hired
the kid's mother?
176
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:47,665
Wait, does she
make more than me?
177
00:07:47,733 --> 00:07:49,943
I've never met a
real live Eskimo.
178
00:07:50,002 --> 00:07:51,902
- Inuit.
- Into what?
179
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:54,411
God, Arliss, you
hired Comet's mother
180
00:07:54,473 --> 00:07:56,343
so you can keep
him in your pocket.
181
00:07:56,409 --> 00:07:58,779
I did no such thing. I
hired the kid's mother
182
00:07:58,844 --> 00:08:00,814
for her nutritional expertise.
183
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,920
- Hah!
- I mean, after all, this woman's cooking
184
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:04,482
Has produced a prodigy athlete.
185
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:06,490
Let's see what she
can do with all of you.
186
00:08:06,552 --> 00:08:09,692
I mean, uh, Stanley, uh, you
could stand to lose a few pounds.
187
00:08:09,755 --> 00:08:11,785
Uh, Rita, you could
stand to gain some.
188
00:08:11,857 --> 00:08:14,457
Kirby, detoxification, colonics,
189
00:08:14,527 --> 00:08:17,157
I mean, uh, she'll
help your ass out.
190
00:08:17,229 --> 00:08:19,569
Is she gonna be with us the
whole time he's in college?
191
00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:22,472
Four years of sperm
whale soup? Oh... oh, no.
192
00:08:22,535 --> 00:08:24,565
Relax, relax, she's only
gonna be here one year.
193
00:08:24,637 --> 00:08:26,307
One year, why only one year?
194
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:28,742
Because Comet's only
gonna be in school one year.
195
00:08:28,808 --> 00:08:31,438
Oh, and how, "Mentalo
the Magnificent",
196
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:33,510
can you be so sure of that?
197
00:08:33,579 --> 00:08:35,849
Arliss: I felt it was important
for Comet's development
198
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:38,875
that he not attend just any
institution of higher learning.
199
00:08:38,951 --> 00:08:43,221
For Comet, only
the best would do.
200
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:45,959
Here within these
hallowed, ivy-covered walls,
201
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:47,725
we stress academics.
202
00:08:47,793 --> 00:08:49,303
As you are well aware,
203
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:52,432
we offer no athletic
scholarships in this conference.
204
00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:55,528
However, being of
Eskimo- African-Latino
205
00:08:55,601 --> 00:08:57,471
Cherokee-Dutch lineage,
206
00:08:57,536 --> 00:09:02,036
Comet fills all our minority
requirements by himself.
207
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:05,038
Therefore, qualifies
for financial aid.
208
00:09:06,779 --> 00:09:09,019
I knew you'd be understanding.
209
00:09:09,081 --> 00:09:12,921
However, if Comet is
going to be a student here,
210
00:09:12,985 --> 00:09:17,415
he's going to be a student
first, and an athlete second.
211
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:20,290
I can assure you, he will
receive no special treatment.
212
00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:21,989
I don't want any
special treatment.
213
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:24,661
Absolutely no special treatment.
214
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:26,070
He's a good boy.
215
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:27,272
He knows what he has to do.
216
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:28,933
I warn you...
217
00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:31,271
if Comet doesn't make grades,
218
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:33,367
his stay here will be brief.
219
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:36,179
Exactly what I want to hear.
220
00:09:37,576 --> 00:09:38,706
Arliss: For many freshmen,
221
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:40,748
there is nothing more
lonely and overwhelming
222
00:09:40,813 --> 00:09:43,283
than being away at
school for the first time.
223
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:46,089
I suggested that Comet
have a tutor help him.
224
00:09:46,152 --> 00:09:48,022
Perhaps a former
student athlete.
225
00:09:48,087 --> 00:09:49,657
Someone who could advise Comet
226
00:09:49,722 --> 00:09:52,762
on how to best balance
athletics and academia.
227

Oh, I don't drink.

00:10:00,699 --> 00:10:03,439
Alcoholism runs rampant
among my people.

00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:05,942

She's right. Love

(moaning)
268
00:11:47,072 --> 00:11:48,372
Arliss: Throughout the year,
269
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,180
the reports I got
back from school
270
00:11:50,242 --> 00:11:52,082
were that Comet
was a quick learner,
271
00:11:52,144 --> 00:11:55,584
and had comfortably
settled into a groove.
272
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:58,248
Pounding through a
broad-based liberal arts curriculum
273
00:11:58,317 --> 00:11:59,887
from top to bottom,
274
00:11:59,952 --> 00:12:04,362
he rose to the occasion
time after time after time.
275
00:12:04,423 --> 00:12:06,293
Indeed, Comet's education
276
00:12:06,358 --> 00:12:08,928
was everything I
hoped it would be.
277
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:15,668
(snoring)
278
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:20,143
According to my sources,
279
00:12:20,206 --> 00:12:22,836
Comet has incompletes in
engineering and economics,
280
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:24,338
and an "F" in British Lit.
281
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:27,950
Oh captain, my captain,
we are on course.
282
00:12:28,013 --> 00:12:30,283
So, Kirby was
the right influence.
283
00:12:30,349 --> 00:12:32,219
Ahhhhhh...
284
00:12:32,284 --> 00:12:33,934
meanwhile, how are we
doing on the product summit?
285
00:12:33,953 --> 00:12:38,023
Uhh, well, uh, Gatorade, Wilson,
Brut, Proctor and Gamble, in,
286
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:39,590
Puma, out.
287
00:12:39,658 --> 00:12:41,388
They want exclusivity.
288
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:42,730
Absolutely not.
289
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:45,755
There's no way in hell
I give in on exclusivity
290
00:12:45,831 --> 00:12:47,501
Lunch is ready.
291
00:12:47,566 --> 00:12:49,436
Kikomo!

Are you discussing my son?
293
00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:52,203
W... as a matter of fact,
294
00:12:52,238 --> 00:12:53,578
we were just
discussing his future.
295
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,246
You know, what he's
gonna do after college.
296
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:57,407
Uh, yes, the pros
and cons of exclusivity
297
00:12:57,476 --> 00:12:58,906
versus non-exclusivity.
298
00:12:58,978 --> 00:13:00,608
Oh, I should know about this.
299
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Well, it's pretty
complicated stuff,
300
00:13:02,748 --> 00:13:04,978
but... but Stanley
will clarify it for you
301
00:13:05,050 --> 00:13:07,120
over a fine, fine lunch.
302
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,090
So, what is this exclusivity?
303
00:13:11,156 --> 00:13:13,986
Uh, say Comet were to sign
304
00:13:14,059 --> 00:13:16,729
an exclusive $20
million deal with Puma,
305
00:13:16,795 --> 00:13:19,625
after his graduation...
with honors, of course.
306
00:13:19,698 --> 00:13:22,738
Uh, then Yonex Racquets
comes along and offers him
307
00:13:22,801 --> 00:13:24,541
$5 million to use their product.
308
00:13:24,603 --> 00:13:30,583
Puma would then be
obligated to pay $15 million.
309
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:33,813
This keeps the client from
undercutting the endorsement...
310
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:35,909
What the hell are
those black things?
311
00:13:35,981 --> 00:13:37,551
Fish eyes.
312
00:13:37,616 --> 00:13:40,546
Not only are they
high in protein and fat,
313
00:13:40,619 --> 00:13:44,119
but they're also believed
to give insight into the soul.
314
00:13:44,189 --> 00:13:48,329
Oh... I thought the goal
was to lower my fat intake.
315
00:13:48,394 --> 00:13:51,804
Oh, remember fish fat
is very good for you?
316
00:13:51,864 --> 00:13:55,034
And for dessert,
blubber-brown-Betty.
317
00:13:57,202 --> 00:13:58,902
Bon appetit.
318
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:00,271

319
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:04,438
Arliss: As the school
year continued,
320
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,810
Comet's game flourished,
and his play on the court
321
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,220
became more and more dominant.
322
00:14:11,216 --> 00:14:12,346
Ah!
323
00:14:15,387 --> 00:14:16,517
Ahh!

00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:19,890
Arliss: He won the collegiate
singles championships.
326
00:14:19,958 --> 00:14:21,058
Yes!
327
00:14:21,126 --> 00:14:22,856
Fox Sports televised the finals.
328
00:14:22,928 --> 00:14:25,028
The first time a network
had ever covered
329
00:14:25,097 --> 00:14:26,767
a collegiate tennis
championship.
330
00:14:26,832 --> 00:14:30,102
Indeed, interest in
Comet was streaking.
331
00:14:30,169 --> 00:14:33,609
(cheering and applause)
332
00:14:33,672 --> 00:14:34,712
Thank you all for coming.
333
00:14:34,773 --> 00:14:36,383
I... I wanna say right up front
334
00:14:36,442 --> 00:14:39,282
that I do not represent
Comet Evans.
335
00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:41,945
As you know, I cannot
represent anyone
336
00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:43,684
until they turn professional.
337
00:14:43,749 --> 00:14:46,249
I am purely a consultant.
338
00:14:46,318 --> 00:14:49,358
However,
hypothetically speaking,
339
00:14:49,421 --> 00:14:53,891
if a certain athlete decided
to turn professional...
340
00:14:53,959 --> 00:14:56,359
what do you got for me?
341
00:14:56,428 --> 00:14:57,858
Take Aim with Comet Evans.
342
00:14:57,930 --> 00:15:00,430
Why? Because of his
winning personality,
343
00:15:00,499 --> 00:15:01,969
his sparkling smile, his...
344
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:03,774
Heavy duty balls,
that will allow...
345
00:15:03,836 --> 00:15:05,866
The support Comet
needs to be today's...
346
00:15:05,938 --> 00:15:09,038
Brut. Because superstars
like Comet get a lot of...
347
00:15:09,108 --> 00:15:11,678
Head. Put your
hand around the shaft,
348
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:13,654
For that deep-down body thirst.
349
00:15:15,013 --> 00:15:16,483
Need I say more?
350
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:19,893
You product summit
is bullshit, Arliss.
351
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:22,292
We don't do "dog
and pony" shows.
352
00:15:22,354 --> 00:15:23,424
Now listen to me.
353
00:15:23,489 --> 00:15:25,459
Here's my last and final offer.
354

Non-exclusive.
358
00:15:31,982 --> 00:15:33,102
Not on your life.
359
00:15:33,165 --> 00:15:34,465
Okay, that's a give back.
360
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:35,933
However...
361
00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:39,301
that's only if he comes
out of school and turns pro.
362
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:42,612
Now.
363
00:15:42,674 --> 00:15:43,914
No problem.
364
00:15:52,317 --> 00:15:53,447
Good morning, Arliss.
365
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:55,319
Oh, how are you today? ooh!
366
00:15:58,457 --> 00:15:59,627
What is it?
367
00:15:59,691 --> 00:16:00,691
Comet's grades.
368
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:01,759
How's he doin'?
369
00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:02,997
See for yourself.
370
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:11,842
He's flunking out.
371
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:14,635
Hallelujah!
372
00:16:14,706 --> 00:16:16,676
(sighs) Why are you
so anti-education?
373
00:16:16,742 --> 00:16:18,582
I am not anti-education.
374
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:20,384
I am pro-professional.
375
00:16:20,446 --> 00:16:21,746
Oh, and what does that mean?
376
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:24,284
It means he's gonna
make his mark in tennis.
377
00:16:24,349 --> 00:16:26,079
He is not going to cure cancer.
378
00:16:27,119 --> 00:16:28,649
Let me ask you a question.
379
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,460
If Comet was a drama
major, and suddenly
380
00:16:30,522 --> 00:16:33,262
Steven Spielberg offered him
a $20 million part in a picture,
381
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:34,465
what would you tell him to do?
382
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:36,933
Take the part, or stay in
school and study mime?
383
00:16:36,995 --> 00:16:39,595
I mean, for what?
To get a degree?
384
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:42,425
I mean... my God, Kirby's
got a fuckin' degree!
385
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:45,341
It really bothers you that Kirby's
got a degree and you don't, huh?
386
00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:47,014
It doesn't bother me.
387
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:48,242
What's the story?
388
00:16:48,307 --> 00:16:49,337
There is no story.
389
00:16:49,408 --> 00:16:50,438
C'mon, what's the story?
390
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:51,739
There is no story.
391
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:52,910
What is the story?
392
00:16:52,912 --> 00:16:54,012
There is no story!
393
00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:55,879
Okay.
394
00:16:55,948 --> 00:16:57,878
Spring semester
of my junior year.
395
00:16:57,950 --> 00:16:59,620
Kirby and I are
taking history together.
396
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:02,285
Kirby, of course, is about a
nasal hair away from flunking out.
397
00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:03,894
Oh, really, Kirby? Shocked.
398
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:05,286
Now if he flunks out, that means
399
00:17:05,357 --> 00:17:06,827
he can't play
football in the fall,
400
00:17:06,892 --> 00:17:09,062
which means he won't be
a first round draft choice,
401
00:17:09,127 --> 00:17:11,127
and I'll lose my
first big client.
402
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:13,296
So, I promised a
teacher's assistant
403
00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:15,595
backstage passes to
Grand Funk Railroad
404
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:17,167
if he gets me the test answers.
405
00:17:17,236 --> 00:17:20,166
Deal. Kirby takes
the exam, passes.
406
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,569
And did you cheat?
407
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,240
I didn't have to
cheat, I love history.
408
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:27,879
- Mm-hm.
- However, the backstage passes turned out to be fake,
409
00:17:27,946 --> 00:17:29,886
And the teacher's assistant
was beaten to a bloody pulp
410
00:17:29,915 --> 00:17:31,215
by the security guards,
411
00:17:31,283 --> 00:17:33,253
a.k.a., the Hells Angels.
412
00:17:33,318 --> 00:17:35,388
As soon as he
comes out of the coma,
413
00:17:35,454 --> 00:17:37,694
he tells the dean that
I stole the answers.
414
00:17:37,756 --> 00:17:40,126
Kirby graduates, I get
thrown out of school.
415
00:17:40,192 --> 00:17:44,332
Really? Arliss...
that's terrible.
416
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:47,696
Not really, I mean,
look at the big picture.
417
00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:49,466
I mean, Kirby got
to play football,
418
00:17:49,535 --> 00:17:50,795
he went in the first round,
419
00:17:50,869 --> 00:17:53,409
and I am on my way.
420
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:56,580
But, without a degree.
421
00:17:58,844 --> 00:18:01,484
What the fuck did I
need a degree for?
422
00:18:01,547 --> 00:18:02,887
I mean, what doors
would have been opened
423
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:05,475
that I didn't kick
down by myself?
424
00:18:05,551 --> 00:18:07,151
Remember the big picture.
425
00:18:11,823 --> 00:18:14,393
Oh, Arliss! I just got back
from my doctor's office.
426
00:18:14,459 --> 00:18:15,729
Thanks to Kikomo's food,
427
00:18:15,794 --> 00:18:17,074
my cholesterol
level has dropped,
428
00:18:17,129 --> 00:18:18,429
I've lost eight pounds.
429
00:18:18,497 --> 00:18:19,697
By throwin' up?
430
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,575
No, no, no, no, no, she's
got me on a very healthy diet.
431
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,500
I'm, uh, back to
wearing a 42 regular.
432
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:27,339
Huh-huh, well, hang on to your
old suits, because school is out.
433
00:18:32,844 --> 00:18:36,754
(humming)
434
00:18:41,253 --> 00:18:43,623
Ohhh! Oh...
435
00:18:43,689 --> 00:18:44,789
Stinky fish.
436
00:18:44,856 --> 00:18:48,326
Ohh! Oh, God, oh, yes.
437
00:18:48,393 --> 00:18:50,033
Rotten mackerel heads.
438
00:18:50,095 --> 00:18:53,065
You have to rot them
aerobically in oxygen.
439
00:18:53,131 --> 00:18:55,971
One of Alaska's
most popular dishes.
440
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:58,903
Mmm, try some.
441
00:18:58,971 --> 00:19:00,311
No, thank you! No, thank you.
442
00:19:00,372 --> 00:19:03,042
Um, Kikomo, I have
something to show you.
443
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:06,378
I just received, uh,
Comet's report card.
444
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:09,506
He made academic probation.
445
00:19:10,849 --> 00:19:13,919
Thank you!
446
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:16,956
Thank you.
447
00:19:17,022 --> 00:19:20,762
Kikomo, Kikomo, Kikomo,
Kikomo, this is not a good thing.
448
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:24,226
It means that Comet
is flunking out of school.
449
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:25,526
What?
450
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:30,169
Arliss: Just as a student can
be homesick for his mother,
451
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:31,635
a mother can be lonesome
452
00:19:31,703 --> 00:19:33,473
for the bird who left her nest.
453
00:19:33,538 --> 00:19:34,908
(banging on door)
454
00:19:34,973 --> 00:19:36,643
I was happy to witness firsthand
455
00:19:36,708 --> 00:19:38,308
the mother and child reunion.
456
00:19:38,377 --> 00:19:39,407
Coming.
457
00:19:42,047 --> 00:19:44,047
I think it's the cleaning lady.
458
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:46,016
She looks pissed.
459
00:19:47,586 --> 00:19:50,686
Get outta my way...
White trash slut!
460
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:53,890
- Mom!
- Lousy, spoiled...
461
00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:56,529
I sent you to school to study!
462
00:19:56,595 --> 00:19:58,025
Not to shack up with this
463
00:19:58,096 --> 00:20:00,126
skinny piece of mainland fluff!
464
00:20:00,198 --> 00:20:01,778
- Mom!
- No no no, not the hands, not the hands!
465
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:02,830
The hands!
466
00:20:02,901 --> 00:20:03,971
You're living in sin!
467
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,596
Mom, just stop it.
468
00:20:05,671 --> 00:20:07,011
You're drunk!
469
00:20:07,072 --> 00:20:08,442
What kind of school is this?
470
00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:10,587
I'm taking you home right now!
471
00:20:10,594 --> 00:20:12,684
Aah... aah... aah... aah!
472
00:20:12,744 --> 00:20:13,954
Hi, nice meeting you.
473
00:20:14,012 --> 00:20:15,012
Bye.
474
00:20:21,586 --> 00:20:23,186
(coughing)
475
00:20:23,255 --> 00:20:24,655
Yo, Arliss.
476
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:27,761
Brewsky?
477
00:20:29,494 --> 00:20:32,234
Arliss: Stanley and Rita,
we are a go, go, go, go, go.
478
00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:33,427
Here is the game plan:
479
00:20:33,498 --> 00:20:34,698
On Friday, we announce
480
00:20:34,766 --> 00:20:36,666
that Comet will make
his decision on Monday.
481
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:38,565
On Sunday, we shoot
the commercials for Puma.
482
00:20:38,637 --> 00:20:41,007
On Monday, we announce
that after much soul searching,
483
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:43,143
that Comet has decided
to turn professional
484
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:45,178
With a $25 million
deal from Puma.
485
00:20:45,243 --> 00:20:46,513
On Tuesday the commercials air,
486
00:20:46,578 --> 00:20:47,748
and on Wednesday
487
00:20:47,813 --> 00:20:49,353
we are swimmin' in champagne.
488
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:50,554
Oooh.
489
00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:53,490
(belches) Aw, it's too bad,
490
00:20:53,552 --> 00:20:55,222
he was doin'
good in school, too.
491
00:20:55,287 --> 00:20:56,387
(banging on door)
492
00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:57,615
Come in.
493
00:20:57,689 --> 00:20:58,689
Excuse me.
494
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:00,387
(bottle breaks)
495
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:02,129
Is there a Mr. Arliss
Michaels here?
496
00:21:02,194 --> 00:21:03,664
Uh, that's him, right there.
497
00:21:05,163 --> 00:21:06,333
I'm Arliss Michaels.
498
00:21:06,398 --> 00:21:07,438
Would you come with us, sir?
499
00:21:07,466 --> 00:21:09,396
That's his beer, too.
500
00:21:09,468 --> 00:21:10,498
(coughs)
501
00:21:12,637 --> 00:21:13,867
Kirby: Good luck, boss.
502
00:21:16,808 --> 00:21:19,208
Mr. Michaels, how
nice to see you.
503
00:21:19,277 --> 00:21:20,847
Please sit down.
504
00:21:20,912 --> 00:21:22,452
I'm sorry to pull you away,
505
00:21:22,514 --> 00:21:24,184
but I just wanted
to let you know,
506
00:21:24,249 --> 00:21:26,849
since Comet's arrival
on campus this year,
507
00:21:26,918 --> 00:21:30,918
our alumni's contributions
have been up significantly.
508
00:21:30,989 --> 00:21:32,559
Is that so?
509
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:35,494
We beat Harvard,
Yale, Dartmouth.
510
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,030
The alumni like that.
511
00:21:38,063 --> 00:21:39,103
I'll bet.
512
00:21:39,164 --> 00:21:40,734
In addition...
513
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,669
we've decided to move
all of our tennis matches
514
00:21:43,735 --> 00:21:48,135
into our new
13,000-seat indoor arena.
515
00:21:48,206 --> 00:21:50,676
13,000, not bad.
516
00:21:50,742 --> 00:21:53,452
We've already had
interest from ESPN
517
00:21:53,512 --> 00:21:56,412
and the networks to
televise these events.
518
00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:58,451
My, my, you have been busy.
519
00:21:58,517 --> 00:22:00,687
We are going to need someone
520
00:22:00,752 --> 00:22:03,662
to help us negotiate
with the networks.
521
00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:08,430
Y... You know, my guess
is this is all conditional
522
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:10,103
on Comet's returning to school
523
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,162
and not turning professional.
524
00:22:13,331 --> 00:22:15,571
Hypothetically speaking,
525
00:22:15,634 --> 00:22:18,644
if he decided to stay
and pursue his degree,
526
00:22:18,703 --> 00:22:20,273
and let me just say,
527
00:22:20,338 --> 00:22:23,378
he's shown himself to
be an excellent student.
528
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:25,639
I beg your pardon?
529
00:22:25,710 --> 00:22:29,820
Indeed. A "B minus"
average at this institution
530
00:22:29,881 --> 00:22:32,451
is nothing to sneeze at.
531
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:35,317
A "B minus" average? Comet?
532
00:22:44,563 --> 00:22:46,433
Has Comet's
mother seen this yet?
533
00:22:46,498 --> 00:22:47,968
Not yet, but certainly...
534
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:50,943
Good! 'Cause
this would kill her.
535
00:22:51,002 --> 00:22:53,382
She said she wanted no special
treatment for her son, didn't she?
536
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:56,975
- Well, yes, yes.
- Well, what do you call this? Changing a transcript.
537
00:22:57,042 --> 00:22:59,112
That's the problem with
collegiate athletics today.
538
00:22:59,177 --> 00:23:00,307
Pampering the athletes.
539
00:23:00,378 --> 00:23:02,448
Why, sacrificing their education
540
00:23:02,514 --> 00:23:04,324
so they can compete in sports?
541
00:23:05,517 --> 00:23:08,787
And you call these
hallowed walls.
542
00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:10,564
Even if he just
completed two years,
543
00:23:10,622 --> 00:23:11,982
it could make a
big difference t...
544
00:23:13,091 --> 00:23:16,131
I'm sorry. There's
nothing I can do.
545
00:23:16,194 --> 00:23:18,904
I'm just a friend of the family.
546
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:22,195
Well, I must say, this
is very disappointing.
547
00:23:22,267 --> 00:23:23,437
Not having a degree
548
00:23:23,501 --> 00:23:25,041
could mean a lifetime of regret.
549
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:34,777
Perhaps we've haven't
explored all the options.
550
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:38,654
Arliss: Later in life,
long after the speed,
551
00:23:38,717 --> 00:23:42,647
the agility, the physical
prowess have gone,
552
00:23:42,721 --> 00:23:44,991
the student athlete will
always have something
553
00:23:45,056 --> 00:23:46,886
no one can take away from them.
554
00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:49,528
An education. The wisdom...
555
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:52,004
Arliss: After hours
of soul searching,
556
00:23:52,063 --> 00:23:55,133
I convinced Comet
Evans to stay in school.
557
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Kikomo left her job and
became Comet's full-time tutor.
558
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:01,874
With her guidance, and
an accelerated curriculum,
559
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,340
Comet graduated in
two years, with honors.
560
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:07,610
And, although they had to wait,
561
00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:09,919
the shoe company
supported Comet's decision
562
00:24:09,981 --> 00:24:13,421
to stay in school
every step of the way.
563
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:18,460
Do not go gently
into that marketplace.
564
00:24:18,523 --> 00:24:20,633
Observe the signs.
565
00:24:20,692 --> 00:24:23,502
The way society is going today,
566
00:24:23,561 --> 00:24:25,831
the world is at your feet.
567
00:24:26,998 --> 00:24:31,638
A college degree is the
passport to your dreams.
568
00:24:31,703 --> 00:24:34,643
Lux et veritas.
569
00:24:34,706 --> 00:24:36,236
Fellow graduates,
570
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:39,478
I am honored to be among you.
571
00:24:39,544 --> 00:24:40,784
(applause and cheering)
572
00:24:40,845 --> 00:24:42,005
Student: Arliss!
573
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,650
(applause)
574
00:24:51,623 --> 00:24:52,893
Mmmwaah!
575
00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:56,158
My name is Dr. Arliss Michaels.
576
00:24:56,227 --> 00:24:57,927
I represent athletes.
577
00:24:57,996 --> 00:25:00,166
These are my stories.
