Post by bunniefuu »

There You Go.

That's Right.

They've Been Teaching Him

At Medical School.

Howard, Cut Left.

Cut Right.

Low Post.

High Post.

Got Him?

All Right, Get Him.

Yes!

Foul!

Foul?

You Ran Into The Wall.

That's Stupidity.

That's A Foul.

Is There Blood?

No Blood,
No Foul.

Fellas, Can I Talk
To You For A Second?

Meet A Living Legend Here.

Cliff, Don't
Do That To Me.

Coach Bill Berry
From Philadelphia.

When I Played
In The City League

This Was My Coach.

Mr. Berry.

Dad's Talked
About You For Years.

I've Seen
Some Impressive Moves Out Here.

Pay Attention
To What He Says.

He's Helped A Lot
Of Hoodlums Like Yourselves.

Dad Was On
Coach Berry's Team

When They Won
The Championship.

Dad Scored
The Winning Basket.

He Told You That?

Yeah.

He Did Play In The Game

But When
The Winning Shot Was Made

He Was On The Bench.

I Made The Shot From The Bench?

Dr. Huxtable,
Play With Us.

Show Your Old Coach
Some Of Your Moves.

Come On, Dad, Play.

No, I Didn't Bring
Coach Berry Here

To Watch Me
Play Basketball.

I'd Love
To See You Play.

You Know You
Want To Do It.

We'll Take It
Real Easy On You.

Yeah, Pop.

Come On...
Grandpa.

You'll Never
Get Him To Play.

Why Not?

Because He Played
In A Game Recently.

It Soured Him
On Basketball.

What Could Have Possibly
Soured You On Basketball?

Well, Nothing.

It's Just That
It's Cold Out.

I'll Buy You
A Cup Of Tea.

I'll Tell The Fellas.

You'll Tell Them Nothing.

Our Ball.

There You Go.

Wait A Minute, Coach.

I Thought I Scored
The Winning Basket

In The Championship Game.

Cliff, We Were Behind
By One Point

With Ten Seconds To Go.

I Would Never Put You
In The Game In That Situation.

But Why Is It That I Remember
Making The Winning Basket?

You Did.

I Did?

Before I Sat You On The Bench

You Had Gotten The Rebound
And Fell On Your Face Hard.

The Ball Hit The Floor

Bounced Up And Went Into
The Other Team's Basket.

The Other Team Came Over
And Shook Your Hand!

How Could You Be So Old
And Remember All That?

Whoo! These Young Guys.

Can't Keep Up With Them.

I Don't Even Want
To Hear About It.

You're Years Old.

Playing With -Year-Olds
Is Rough.

An -Year-Old And
A -Year-Old-- The Same Age.

Your Lungs Are Pink

Your Arteries Are Pumping

Heart Is Pumping

And You Have
An Abundance Of Saliva.

I Need To Sit Down.

I Feel Bad That Those Guys
Were Ribbing You Like That.

What Soured You On Basketball?

You Can Tell Me.

It Won't Go Any Further
Than This Room.

Zip The Lip.

Nothing Soured Me, Per Se,
On Basketball.

I Just Don't Want
To Play It Anymore.

Don't You Want To Share It

With Someone
Who Could Understand?

Nothing Happened!

Get Out Of Here!

Go Play Some Basketball
Until You Get My Age.

Okay, I'm Going.

If You Want To Talk,
You Know Where I Am.

Anytime.

Now That He's Gone

What Did Sour You On Basketball?

Your Face.

Hey.

Dad, This Book Is Great.

It Has Pictures Of You
Playing Ball

When You Were Young.

You've Never
Showed This To Us.

I've Never Showed It To You?

I've Had This Book Out
A Hundred Times.

I've Said To Every Child
In The House

"Look At Dad.

"Here's Some Old Pictures Of Dad

Playing Basketball
And Football."

"Oh, We Got To Go."

It Was On
That Table.

You Put Your Drinks
On Top Of It.

Sorry, Dad.

Ooh, Is This You, Dad--
Number ?

(Smugly:)
Ye-E-A-Ah.

You Were Pretty
Good Looking Back Then.

You Had Big Ears.

It's The Haircut, Dear.

No, It's Not The Haircut.

You Had Big Ears.

Did Your Ears Get Smaller
As You Got Older?

Take Your Hands
Off My Ear, Please.

Well, I Guess
Your Head Got Bigger.

Ooh, I Like This Picture
Of Number .

He Has Fine Legs.

Mm-Hmm.
Nice Ears, Too.

I'd Play In A Game
With Him Anytime.

Yeah.

Vanessa, This Man
Is Years Old Now.

Turn The Page.

Hey, I Like This Picture
Even Better.

This Is Your Father.

We're Playing Street Football
In Front Of The House.

How Come We Can't
Play In The Street?

Ah...

I'm Waiting.

This Is In The ' s, See--

In -Something-Or-Other--

And There Were No Cars
At That Time.

In The s, There Were Cars.

As A Matter Of Fact

There Was A Russian Satellite
Named Sputnik.

That Is Absolutely Correct.

And You Know What?

The Sputnik...

Uh, Came Down.

And They Said

"What If Sputnik Came Down
And Exploded?

"There Would Be Pieces Of It
All Over The Place

And Would Probably Hurt
Little Boys Playing Football."

So They Took All The Children
Off The Street

From That Point On.

Clair, You Have
A Lovely Home.

Thank You,
Mrs. Berry.

Bill, Clair Has
A Videotape

Of A Game That Cliff
Played In Just Last Month.

Dad Doesn't Want Anyone
To See That.

He Was Out Of Shape.

I Don't Mind
Rolling The Tape

But Dinner
Is So Close

We Should Go Eat.

We Have Time.

Show The Tape.

I Want To See "The Hammer."

Yes, "The Hammer."

That's What They
Called Your Father

Because When
He Fouled Someone

They Stayed Fouled.

Your Father's Nickname
Should Have Been "The Stomach."

My Husband, Bill

Would Bring The Boys
After The Game

And I Had Food Ready.

Cliff Out-Ate The Entire Team.

That's Why

We Never Had Children
Of Our Own.

After Cliff, We Couldn't Afford
To Feed Them.

No, Let Me Tell You
Something On Your Husband.

All That Talk About Food
Has Made Me Hungry.

You're Not Hungry.

You Don't Want Us
To See This Tape.

What Tape Is This?

A Group Of Doctors

Challenged Some Lab Technicians
To A Game Of Basketball.

The Doctors
Were Cliff's Age.

The Lab Technicians
Were Years Younger

And All Women.

You Played Women?

It's Right Here.

I Can Just Put The...

It's Not Necessary
To Play That.

Dad... Take It Like A Man.

Go Outside
And Play With Sputnik.

Listen, I'm Not Going
To Run This Whole Thing

Because We're Going
To Have Dinner

So I'll Fast-Forward
The Thing...

I'll Take This.

I'll Be Fair.

Who Made It?

The Audio-Visual Department
At The Hospital.

Cliff Offered Them $
To Burn The Tape.

Okay, Here We Have
The Men Warming Up.

Vanessa:
All Right, Dad!

Coach:
Looking Pretty
Good There, Cliff.

It's The Old "Hammer" Moves
Coming Back.

Clair:
Here Comes
The Other Team.

All:
Ohhh!

Clair:
All Women.

Look At
The Men's Faces

When They See
The Other Team

Knowing They Have Already
Won The Game.

But The Doctors Had
Their Shining Moments.

Cliff:
Ball Practice.

Zap, Bap, Boom, Zonk, To...

All Right.

All Right!

Nice Teamwork There, Cliff.

No, I Never
Touched The Ball.

They Used You Like I Did.

Take A Look
At This.

All Right, Wali.

Vanessa:
Go, Dad!

There You Go!

And All Right!

Dad, You Missed
The Shot.

It Wasn't A Shot.

You Don't Know Anything
About Basketball.

That Was A Pass.

Oh, Cliff, Please.

Back The Thing Up,
Please.

Now Run It Forward.

I See The Man Cut.

I Make The Pass
On The Backboard...

Follow Up... Bam!

Looks Like A Shot.

Let's Go To
Your Dad's Great Moments.

There I Am.

All Right.

Here I Go... Zom!

Awww.

Do Me A Favor.

Are There
Any Good Moments?

I Thought
That Was One.

Let's Try This One.

All Right, Check Me Out.

I Still Have It,
Still Have It...

There You Go.

Kids:
Yeah!

Clair:
Now... Showboat!

Coach:
That's Okay.

Whenever Cliff Got A Basket,
We All Celebrated.

He Had Some
Great Moments.

They Didn't Last
Very Long.

Now Watch The Pass.

Look At That.

Didn't Have To Slow Down.

Right In There.

Great Pass!

The Passing Drill Paid Off.

Moving Ahead Here...

Please.

Rebound... Going Down...

Here He Comes.

Vanessa:
Dad, Dad!

Nah, Somebody Moved
The Basket On Me.

After That Shot,
The Team Put Cliff

Where They Thought
He'd Be Most Useful.

Come On...

I'm Taking A Rest!

Clair:
Come On Now.

Can We Go
To Dinner?

The Best Is
Yet To Come.

The Women
Are Fierce.

Yes... Yes!

Ooh! Ooh!

Yes! Yes!

Spectacular Play.

I'd Like To Coach This Team.

You Can Go Home Now.

Sometimes It Looked Like Cliff
Was Playing For The Women.

Coach:
Uh-Oh.

Clair:
Just Give Her
The Ball.

I Couldn't See Her.

Wait A Minute.

How Tall Was She That You
Couldn't Block That Shot?

' " Or Something.

I Was Trying
To Guard...

Watch What Happens

At The Sound Of The Buzzer
In The First Half.

Cliff!

She Was In My Way.

She Wasn't In Your Way.

Clair, Show It Again
In Slow Motion.

Yes, Ma'am.

You Don't Have To...

Here We Go.

Mrs. Berry:
See? You Pushed
That Child!

You Should Have Heard

The Nasty Things
She Said About My Wife.

Now... We Will
Move Ahead.

Please.

She Made The Layup
With The Wrong Hand.

Oh, Well.

I'll Mercifully Push Forward
To The Fourth Quarter.

I Want You To See The Shape
The Men Were In.

Now Can You
Tell Me...

Is The Man Playing
Offense, Defense...

Or Is He On
A Five-Minute Break?

Or Does He Care?

The Audio-Visual Department
Strung Some sh*ts Together

So We Can See
The Last Three Minutes.

Ooh!

Yes!

Rudy:
Wipe Out!

Coach:
Grasshoppers.

Cliff:
This Is Not Fair.

It Looks Like
We Never Shot.

Clair:
You Didn't.

The Men
Are Frustrated...

Especially
"The Hammer."

Clair:
All Right.

Jump Ball!

Mrs. Berry:
You Deserved
That, Cliff.

I'll Spare You
The Final Score.

Let's Eat.

Yes!

Yay!

I Really Enjoyed That Tape.

You Should Be Proud Of Yourself.

As Usual,
You Gave % Of Yourself.

Thank You, Coach.

I Owe It All To You.

I Worked With
What God Gave You.

God Wanted You To Be A Doctor.

Oh, Come On.

(Sigh)

Hee-Hee.

Well, Good Night, Dear.

Good Night?

I'm Not Tired.

Well, Why Don't You Get
A Paper Or Something?

Getting The Paper
Was Not What I Had In Mind.

I'm Still Thinking About
How Bad I Looked In That Tape.

Don't Be Depressed
Because Some Women Beat You.

It Isn't Losing To Women.

It's Just That...

To Think About Myself...

At Age , Running Up
And Down The Court...

And Then To See Myself At ...

Not Running...

Up And Down
The Court.

But Thinking Back
To That -Year-Old Boy...

Uh, He Was A Heck Of A Boy.

Yes, He Was.

I Saw You At .

You Were Something
To Behold.

I'm Telling You

I Had Set
Everything In My Mind

At Age

That I Wasn't Going To Jump.

And You Saw
When I Made That Layup

I Was Only This High.

But I Made A Mistake
After I Made The Basket

And I Ran Down Court Real Fast.

When I Got To The Other End,
And I Stopped

My Body, My Lungs,
My Legs Said

"What Are You Doing?"

I Stood There And...

The Woman Stole
The Ball From Me.

Ordinarily, If You Stole
A Ball From "The Hammer"

"The Hammer" Would Chase You
All The Way Down.

Even If You Were Ahead
And Going Up

"The Hammer" Would Catch You

And Foul You In A Way
That You Would Never--

Even If You Took The Ball
From "The Hammer"--

You Would Give It Back.

That's Right.

That Woman Took That Ball
Away From Me

And I Was So Tired.

I Stood There And Just
Watched Her Dribble Down.

She Made The Basket.

You Know What I Said
To Justify It?

"Ain't Nothing But Two Points."

I'll Tell You...

You Saw Me When I Was .

You Know What
That -Year-Old Boy Was Like--

"The Hammer."

You Were "The Hammer."

Yes.

My Favorite Game
I Ever Saw You Play

Was Against
The Mount Ari Badgers.

Yeah, Yeah.

You Remember That?

Bunky Rose And All Those Guys.

Bunky Stole The Ball
From T. Paul Hamm.

Sonny Hill Stole It From Him,
You Stole It From Sonny

Claude Grosso
Stole It From You.

You Got Up And You Were Mad.

You Walked Over And Took
The Ball From Philip Howe

Who Was Standing There.

To This Day We Do Not Know
What Philip Was Doing.

He Was Known To Sleep
Just Standing Up.

And You Started To Dribble...

Look Out.

Down The Court...

Down The Court.

In Front Of The Basket...

Was Bozo "The Wall" Walker.

That's Right.

Six Feet, Ten Inches,
Pounds Of Arms.

Coach Put Him In Front
Of The Basket And Said

"Anybody Comes Up To You

Eat Them."

I Stopped My Dribble
At The Foul Line

And I Knew He Was There...

I Knew He Was There,
And I Took Off In The Air.

Had The Ball In This Hand.

Went Around My Back Twice.

Still In The Air
And Came With The Right Hand

And Shot...
And That's All I Remember.

You Made The Basket.

I Did.

You Don't Remember
Because You Got Knocked Out.

You Won By One Point.

That Must Be The Game
I Keep Talking About

That The Coach Doesn't Remember.

We Used To Have Some Times.

That's What It's
All About, Isn't It--

Memories?

Which Is Why You Ought
To Come Over Here Right Now

So We Can
Make A Memory.

You Know...

You're Absolutely Correct.

What It's All About
Is What You Do Now.

Yes.

No Matter How
Old You Are.

Yes.

You Could Be
And Make A Memory For Tomorrow.

You See?

Or Even Two Minutes
From Now.

You See.

Whoooo!

And If We're Careful

We Could Have
A Good Time Right Now

And That Will Be
A Memory, Won't It?

Mm-Hmm.

Ooooh.

I'm Going To Turn
Out The Light.

Please Do That

Because Memories Are Ofttimes
Much Better In The Dark.

Now Don't
Hurt Yourself.
