Well, was I in this dream?

Yup. You was my waitress.

But if the judges haven't made up their minds,

I'm sure that stank dress will do it for them.

I don't know, pam.

Martin'll trip on this one.

Ah, please.

Ah, who cares what he thinks?

Just go for it, and besides,

He needs a stepladder to see your cleavage anyway.

Baby, we won. We won, baby.

You won? You won?

Don't tell me, you won the limbo contest,

'Cause you was the only one

That could fit under the one-inch bar, right?

Ha. Watch it, baby. Should have known it was you, pam.

Baby, when wild dogs foam at the mouth,

That generally mean they got rabies.

See the spackle right around her mouth?

You better back up.

We're going to be in -on- competition,

And we playing this afternoon,

And, pam, we want you on the bench with us.

And why is that, shorty pippen?

So we can sit on your furry coat and not get splinters.

You know what? I don't have to take this.

Get out of my way.

Gina, I'll check you tonight.

Later, pam.

Wait, pam. Don't go yet.

What?

Well, you want to leave without saying bye.

Now you know I like to kick you out my damn self. Hold on.

Baby, you should have seen me on the court today.

I'm telling you, you should have seen me.

Baby, they was throwing the ball and everything.

You know, all up in the air like that.

Then I was like, ooh,

Baby, it was times, right, that didn't even know I had the ball.

You know what I mean? Then just like bowww.

Do you know?

That's my baby jordan right there.

I like that.

And you know what's so smooth?

That we both going to be getting trophies tonight.

No. Wait a minute now. I have not won yet.

Martin, which one do you think I should wear tonight,

The armani or the donna karan?

Oh, I don't know, baby.

I--i like you in my favorite.

Oh, really, what's that?

Butt bald naked!

You have been so nasty lately.

Come down here, 'cause I want to show you something.

Right. Oh, show me.

Ooh, baby, baby, that was what I call olympic-style love.

I mean, we need to do that floor exercise more often.

Yeah, yeah, baby.

For that last move, you deserve the gold.

Let me get my butt out of here.

I'm going to be late for my hair appointment.

I got to take a shower.

Ayyy, ayyy!

Martin, what's wrong with you?

Nothing, baby.

I--i just had a little twinge.

That's all, a little twinge.

A little twinge?

Yeah, a little twinge.

Martin, the last time you had a little twinge,

You were in the bed for a week.

Oh, baby, uh, did I say twinge?

Yes.

All right, I meant tweak, all right?

I had a little tweak.

Ok, I'm back. I'm cool.

Twinge, tweak?

Martin, it doesn't--

Martin, if your back is acting up,

You don't need to be out on that basketball court.

Gina... What?

My back is fine, baby, ok,

And I ain't going to miss these finals for nothing.

And tonight is one of the biggest nights of my life, and I want you by my side.

Promise me you will not go play basketball, please.

Gina, it's the fi-- I got to be in the--

All right.

All right, I promise, gina.

I promise I won't be in the game.

I'll just watch the game, ok?

Thank you very much.

Love you. I'm going to take a shower.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's up there, dawg?

Hey, you ready to win the championship, man?

You know I am, hakeem olaju-dome.

[Whispering] what you laughing at, cole? Keep it down.

Keep it down, 'cause I just told gina I wasn't playing in the game.

You ain't playing?

I'm playing, fool, I'm playing, ok?

I just told her I wasn't playing

'Cause she keeps sweating me about my back.

Oh, come on, man. Not your back again.

My back is all right, tommy, cole, all right?

I'm just going to put a little ice on it. I'll be straight, man.

Ok. You sure?

I'm sure, man.

Ok, ok, cool.

Cool, now check it out. I got the plan, b, I got the plan.

Now bust it.

We give all the brothers on the other team beepers, right?

Ok, and, uh, during the game I page them.

You with me so far?

They run to the phones.

We score all the points we want.

You know what I'm saying?

No, no, what we need to talk about is a strategy,

A real strategy, all right?

Because darcel and them ain't no joke, man.

Word up. Brother I'm guarding is '",

Just got out of prison for beating up his sunday-school teacher.

'"?

So that means he's a little taller than tommy, then.

Ok, that--that could be a match-up problem.

Let me see the ball.

Did you get a last name on him?

Get a name, cole?

Beat down.

Ok, all right, listen up.

Remember, <span tts:fontstyle="italic">cole,</span> no stupid shots, ok?

No turnovers, and, guys, no women before the game.

Gina: ooh, martin, this shower feels so good.

Baby, come back here.

Baby, watch your mouth.

We got company.

Hey, gina.

Hey, g.

Gina: oh, sorry. Hi, tommy. Hi, cole.

Hey, now remember,

No women,

No sex until after the game.

That's easy for y'all to say.

That's 'cause y'all are used to not getting none.

Actually, I mean, to tell you the truth,

I be feeling better after I get some.

I'm telling you, my game will be, like, on then.

Martin, no.

You promised, man. You promised.

All right, so I lied, man. Ok, get to stepping.

Scoopy and hoopy, step.

Man, I told you, I'll be feeling better.

I'm telling you, I know my jump shot be on

After I gets me a little bit. Baby!

Gina, we're going to be late.

Where's martin?

Well, as small as he is, he could be anywhere.

Whoo, now that was funny.

No, that was not funny, pam.

I am nervous enough as it is.

Girl, what if I actually win?

Well, just march right up there, grab your award,

And tell them you couldn't do it without me.

[Telephone rings]

Hello, martin?

Martin, where are you?

Mm-hmm.

All right, baby. We only have an hour to--

Ok, all right.

Just hurry, please. Bye.

What?

Cole's pacer broke down again.

We got to go meet him there.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

How's he going to get there,

On his earplane?

Girl, I am k*lling me.

You didn't think that was funny?

You know little man is always late, anyway.

I don't care that he's late. I'm just glad he's ok.

[Whispering] ok, psst, hey, martin.

The coast is clear. Come on, come on.

Be careful.

Careful.

All right, all right, all right.

Here we go.

Step, step.

All right, there you go, martin, all done.

All right, how do I look? Am I straight?

Nah, but, hey, the tie is fly.

The tie look good. Ok.

Martin, here are your shoes, man.

You need some help putting them on?

No. I think I got it.

You sure?

Look, man, look, you were in tears trying to put on your socks.

Tommy, now, I wasn't crying, ok, because I hurt my back.

I was crying 'cause we lost the game, man.

Oww, oww.

Ok, come on, sit down, man. This is crazy.

You can barely put your shoes on.

Look, we need to call gina and tell her you just can't make it.

Hey, now, look, I told gina I'm going to be there.

Now, I'm going to be there, tommy.

Cole, where's your damn chiropractor?

He's coming, martin. Be still.

Now hold still so I can tighten up your cucumber bun.

That's cummerbund, fool.

Aah!

Hey, hey, hey.

Yeah, I see I've come to the right place.

Who the hell are you,

Rolling up in my house unannounced?

Uh, martin, this is the chiropractor I was telling you about.

Dr. Bones johnson.

I work the bonies of all the homies.

Man, get him the hell out of here, cole.

Wait, wait, martin. Wait a minute.

Maybe you should give him a try.

Look, your back ain't going to get any worse, ok?

Tommy, I don't know, man.

Oh, don't worry about it.

You won't feel a thing.

Man, what the hell--ohh!

[Back cracks]

Now, how do you feel?

I'm about to put your a*s up into your eyebrows.

Hey.

Ohh!

Ohh!

Ohh!

There it is.

There it is.

All right, all right.

Oh, my back--my back popped back in place.

All right.

Oh, man, this feels good.

Told you he was good.

Cole, you about to get his a*s whupping.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby, what's happening?

How are you?

Look at you. You're beautiful.

Thank you. I'm glad you made it, martin.

Gina, I told you I would be here, baby. What, you doubt me?

Well, I thought since you were late,

You had gone on and played basketball and hurt yourself.

Gina, now you hurting me.

Baby, don't my word mean anything?

I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry.

Well, anyway, I'm here, right?

Please.

You couldn't even fit in superboy's uniform.

Superman.

Oh, it's you, pam.

It's me.

I didn't recognize you without your feed bag.

You better step back from me.

Yeah, yeah, that's funny, martin.

Anyway, good to see you, martin.

Oh--ohh.

Hey, baby, did you lose something?

Oh, no, baby. I'm just looking at my shoes

To make sure my bow tie was straight, that's all.

Let me see.

Oh, ooh.

No, it's fine.

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Isn't this exciting?

Yeah, it is.

Excuse me, martin. Let me borrow gina for a moment.

Could I just steal her for a moment?

Uh, you can have her for the whole night.

How you doing?

Ouch.
