Look at that,
Oh, no! He's running it,
Oh, watch out for the flea flicker,
Run, run, run, run,
You got it, Dad!
Go line stands! Defense! Come on,
- Boom! - Shit!
- Nice run, nice run, - Nice run,
Alright that's it for me, See you later, fellas,
Let's go, Jackie,
It's gonna be late, Your mom's gonna kill me,
Give me my watch,
- Come on, - Your watch, alright,
Jesus,
Why'd you let him score?
I would have ripped his head off,
Oh, yeah? Is that right, smartass?
You know that's the guy who got me in the local,
I wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for him,
If you're lucky knucklehead, he'll get you in the unions, too,
I ain't ever working construction,
Well, is that right?
You're too good to work with your dad?
- I never said that, - Sure, you did,
Look around, See this neighborhood?
This is as good as it's gonna get for us, kid,
Yeah, right, I am getting out of this dump,
Oh, really? What's your plan? Enlighten me,
I don't know,
I'm gonna be in Point or something,
Yeah, you're gonna join the circus?
- You're gonna be a clown? - No,
You're gonna grind it out just like the rest of us, you hear me?
Put down the pumpkin, Jackie,
Shoot it,
Don't do it,
- Great shot, - Thanks,
Where'd you learn to shoot like that?
Has Randy been teaching you basketball?
You know I hate that monkey ball,
I don't know,
I want to be a football player like you,
Yeah, sure you do, Don't bullshit a bullshitter,
Listen, why don't you guys get out of here, This isn't the brothers' court,
So why don't you guys just go back to your neighborhood, alright?
Dad!
Jackie, get your ass back here,
You heard me, Get the fuck out of here,
Jackie!
,,,called the white Michael Jordan and he's not even in the NBA,
Instead, New Yorker Jack Ryan has developed his skills while playing,,,
Like, I am just amazed, He's one of the best white players I've ever seen,
He was a show-off, He was an entertainer,
If the three-point shot were in effect,
he probably would have averaged between 35 and 40 points a game,
He's the only white boy other than Chris Mullin
that has the type of respect universally from borough to borough,
Seen them all,
He's one of the best shooters I've ever seen in my life, bar none,
Jackie Ryan is one of the biggest wastes of talent in the history of basketball,
Two, two, two, two,
Oh, God! Motherfucker!
Coach! Coach! Coach!
You alright, Jackie?
- Come on, Jack, flub up, - Come on, Jackie,
Come on, Jackie, I got money on this game, Let's go,
Like a fucking D,
See this fuckin' dude right there? See this fuckin' white boy?
We got to get this dude off the fucking court,
Come on, man, Yeah,
Yeah,
- Yeah, - Come on, man,
You fucking kidding me?
Are you fucking kidding me?
- Hey, bro, - Hey, my man,
Let's fucking go,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- That's enough, - Yo, what are you doing?
No more fucking playing!
Not you, not you, all you fucking white boys get the fuck out of here,
You look half white yourself, bro,
Get the fuck outta here, You and your men, it's over,
- Shut the fuck up, man, What? - I've been playing on this court since I was 13 years old, man,
Man, Yusef Hawkins was playing at this court at 13,
- See what happened to him, - That had nothing to do with us, bro,
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Why you act like a knucklehead, bro? What's up?
Get the fuck off of me,
So, has he been playing on this court since 13,,,
I'm not on you, you'll know when I'm on you,
Yeah, you want the fucking ball? No one's fucking playing anymore, man,
Go get the fucking ball,
- What the fuck, man? - Go get the fucking ball, okay?
No one's playing over here anymore,
- Fuck off this court, - ,,,ass, whipping your ass,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Go whip your ass over, Get the fuck off here,
Yusef Hawkins, Yusef Hawkins, Yusef Hawkins,
- That had nothing to do with us, - Shut up, Get the fuck out of here,
Take your fucking bike and get off my court,
Grab my chair, bro, Get my fucking chair,
Here you go, Marty,
Good man, Farrell, Just keep them coming, Put them on my tab,
- You're good, Jackie? - I'm good, Farrell, Thank you,
Wow, what's with all the wool today?
Is that Jenny, your Jenny?
Holy Christ, she looks beautiful,
She looks great,
What's she doing here?
I think she is visiting her mother,
- I thought she has left here from the divorce? - No, no,
- Really? - She's back for a little bit,
- Well, let's say,,, - No, no,
Come on,
Hey, ladies,
- Hi, - Hi,
Jenny Burke, the only person in high school to average more points than me,
Yeah, Well, the only reason I scored more points than you
is because my teammates actually liked me,
I mean I would have passed the ball more if they were open,
- Hi, Marty, - Hey,
I mean, look, look, I,,, I've heard college does wonders,
but wow, you obviously have grown out of your awkward stage,
I see you two clowns haven't grown up at all,
What are you doing back?
- I'm coaching at Pace, - That's cool,
Yeah, I'm staying with my parents for a while
trying to get some money for a place in the city,
- What about you? - I'm,,, - Oh, him?
He ain't doing shit,
I'm doing great, Thank you very much, Marty,
I'm, uh, I'm doing construction with my old man,
- Well, that's nice, - Yeah,
Um, can I buy you a drink?
Uh, I don't think that's a good idea,
You know, you might scare these girls off,
They're not used to the Brooklyn dogs like I am,
What do you mean Brooklyn dogs? We don't bite,
- We'll get out of here, - No, no, Hold on,
- I want to know, - See you around, - No, wait,
It was good seeing you, Jenny,
You, too,
I take offense to that, Jack,
I've never been a Brooklyn dog,
- Farrell, I look like a Brooklyn dog to you? - No,
Thank you so much, Man, she looks fantastic,
You still got that fucking rat tail, you little midget?
Dildo, I mean, Dino,
Still talking shit outta your ass?
What about you, tough guy?
You still playing ball with the grannies on Tuesday nights?
I don't know, is your mother still giving free hand jobs on Wednesday, Dino?
You give him a hand job when he gets cold at night?
Oh, speaking of hand jobs,
maybe I'll grab a couple of shots and go see your little skirt Jenny?
No, no Jackie, No, no,
- Jackie, no, - Come on,
Who's the fucking bitch now, bitch,
Call me, alright?
Mm-hmm, I see not much has changed,
Hey, Pete Vecsey,
What are you doing in Brooklyn, huh? You missed your stop?
I was looking for you,
Huh, my address isn't listed,
Well, it wasn't hard, I mean, you're a very popular guy Blackjack,
Alright, Sherman told me,
Ah,
So, what's going on? How's the writing?
Slow, slow, you know,
Summer pro-am games here and there,
but I did catch that game down on West 4th Street the other day,
Let me ask you something,
Why are you working on your game if you're not playing for anything?
Well, reputation, I guess,
What if I told you that I could get you to try out with the New Jersey Nets?
- I'd say you're full of shit, - Why not?
I mean, I see, I see you running circles around these kids,
No thanks,
You know, I'm working on a piece for Sports Illustrated on Gill Turner,
He's a real big free agent now,
Yeah? So am I,
He says he wants to, you know, stick around home,
A lot to say about, uh, how important basketball was in the city,
- Maybe I can get a quote from you, - Fuck that, Not happening,
Jackie, you and I both know there is no reason
that you should not be playing in the league,
You know, you come all the way down here
to ask me for a quote about Gill Turner,
Go fuck yourself, Pete, Get the fuck out of the way,
But the gang armed with a gun and baseball bats
allegedly mistook Hawkins for the boyfriend of a white girl in the neighborhood,
So, what, now all white people are bad?
Yeah, I remember this, It's like they forgot white people built the Brooklyn Bridge,
Hey, jerk-off, What did I tell you about that bike in the house?
It's gonna rain, Ma!
Leave it outside, please,
Hey, how did today go by the way?
Don't encourage him,
You know your brother worked a double shift today,
Oh, that's wonderful, Where's your girl?
With her mom,
Sorry, bro,
Will you pipe down? I can't hear the TV,
- Chrissy, how you doing? - I'm good, How are you?
Good, good,
Hey, Suzie, shouldn't you be with your boyfriend?
We're fighting, but it's for real this time,
You'd know more about your family
if you spent less time with the brothers and the booze,
- Okay, Pop, Ma, can I clean up? - Mm-hmm,
What, you got a hot date? Look at him,
28-year-old playboy living at home with his parents, rent-free,
Pa, you remember Jenny Burke,
I just seen her at Faros, you believe that?
You got no shot with Jenny Burke,
Fuck you, Billy,
I'm glad you saw her, very nice girl,
Right?
Hmm, go take a shower, I'll,,, I'll get dinner going,
The bike, fucko,
And there was some guy looking for you,
Yeah, it's a big-time reporter, thinks I can play in the NBA,
How do you like them apples?
And I could be the starting quarterback to the Jets,
Yo, Pete! Wait up,
- What? You're agreeing to that quote now? - No,
Look, they don't sound interested, don't beg,
I don't want it to sound like I'm begging for a favor,
- Mm-hmm, - Okay,
Hey, uh, do you want to know what Gill Turner said when I asked him about you?
No, it doesn't matter, I'll ask him when I'm in the NBA,
Thank you, Pete,
- Yeah, take your lunch now, Jackie, - I got you, Pop,
Hey, Jack, did you hear about Jackie boy here playing for the NBA?
- Pipe dreams, Nick, - Pop, you know about that,
I was wondering if I could get some shifts off, you know, so I could train?
Come on, this construction site puts food on your table, not Dr, J,
Yeah, I guess I'll catch up to you,
How are you going to go? Twenty,
- Marty, It's lunch, let's go, - Okay,
- What's up? - What the fuck is the matter with you?
If my dad catches you selling that shit, you're gone,
Bro, your dad's been pissed off since Munsen died,
I owe some guys some money from an advance, no big deal,
Don't say I didn't warn you,
- Help me make some money, - No fucking way,
Just drop me up at the Y on 14th after work, alright,
And Marty, use your fucking head for once,
Alright,

I'll figure something out, but I can make,,,
Hey, what's up jerk-off?

Joey tells me you ain't been paying your fucking taxes,
It's news to me,
Yeah, I'll give you some more fucking news, okay,
One of our trucks got lifted,
Cashmere sweaters and I heard they ended up in your fucking pocket,
If I knew anything like that, you'd be the first to know,
Scout's honor,
Hey, Jackie, what are you doing still hanging out with this jerk off?
He's gonna get you fucking hurt,

Damn, I don't think I'll ever marry her, so she's done,
She's bluffing, Billy, Let me talk to her,
No, Jackie, Just don't,
You'll make it so much worse,
And my baby girl's getting married,

Go give the father a hug,

I've been waiting for this girl for six years to come back to the neighborhood,
She just got back home,
She's the most beautiful thing in Brooklyn and she won't go out with me,
I'm about to be in the NBA, I want to celebrate her,
Take her out to a nice steak dinner

Did any of your basketball coaches ever tell you

Oh, every single one of them,
Yeah, and I bet your Wall Street boyfriend can't do this,
It's probably 'cause he doesn't want to,
That's disgusting,
I've been waiting six years to do that,

So, how'd it stand up?
Yeah, it was worth the wait,

Excuse me, ladies,
Don't say it, I already know, alright,
Just tell me that you brought the ID and the paper,
The what?
- The ID,,, - I'm just kidding, Come on,
You are such a pain,
Hi,
- Hey, how you doing? Come on in, - Yeah,
- Um,,, - How can I help you guys? Take a seat,
We, um, sent over an inquiry about opening an account,
Okay and, uh, what was the last name?
Uh, Ryan, It's Jackie Ryan,
Okay, Mr, Ryan,
Oh, yeah, Oh, Ryan, Okay,
So, Mr, Ryan, it says here you have, uh, no banking history
and you graduated high school about 10 years ago?
Yeah, I guess I never got around to opening up a bank account,
Okay, Well, in order for us to issue you a credit card,
we're gonna have to open an account,
Oh, well, he brought his ID and, uh, a letter with proof of residency,
Yeah, here you go,
That's the ID,
That info right there for you,
Good, good,
Well, that's good stuff,
but, um, we're actually gonna have to ask for a 250 minimum guarantee
because lack of credit history,
See, I'm about to come up on a lot of money,
You ever heard of the New Jersey Nets?
Yeah, yeah, So did a lot of people,
but, uh, I don't see how that helps us here in the bank,
How old are you?
I'm old enough to have a bank account myself,
So how can I help you?
Wow, look at this fucking guy,
Forget it, alright, let's go,
Anytime you guys want to come back, I'm still here,
Absolute waste of time,
Okay, well maybe if you wore a suit like I asked you to,
he would have given you some leeway,
These things matter, okay?
I'm not wearing a damn suit, alright?
And who needs a credit card, anyways?
Jesus! Because, I don't know, I figured maybe a guy your age might want one,
Oh, okay, Sorry I'm not no fancy pants lawyer,
Look, your dad doesn't like me, He ain't never gonna like me,
That is not what I meant and you know it,
Look, I'm a ball player, right,
If I want money, Marty gets it for me, It's just the way I like things,
Okay, you know what, fine, I will not bring it up again,
Jesus Christ! You are pain in the ass, you know that?
Look, you just gotta understand, I'm not gonna let you down, alright,
And all of my problems are gonna go away when I make this team,
Mm, You say so,
I'm gonna go work out with Marty, alright?
I'll call you after?
Mm,
You know you're still gonna need a suit, right?
They make you travel on one in the NBA,
Now you're coming around,
Those credit cards will do you in, Jackie,
That's what they're fucking saying,
Yeah, well the government can track you and shit,
Listen, I promise, once you make it big,
you don't gotta do this shit, you understand?
'Cause you're gonna make that fucking team,
Yeah, if we don't get arrested first,
- In and out, Marty, right? - Yeah, in and out, In and out,
Alright, you watch the fucking door,
I just want that cash register,
Alright?
- Let's go, - Let's go,
Hey, you two,

- Stop right there, Stop right there, - Fuck!
Stop right there, Stop right there,
- Get out of my house, fucko! - What the fuck is wrong with you?
- What's wrong with me? - Fuck!
I get a call late last night from a friend of mine at precinct 77 near Utica,
He tells me that his son who's a beat cop
just chased your monkey ass through Brooklyn,
You know what I did for your mother, you miserable fuck?
I lied to him,
Yeah, I told him Jackie was here all night and God bless your mother,

Yo, you should come down some time, it's a good run,
I'll think about it,
Yo, Gill, No offense, but uh, I wanted to tell you I was a little surprised

Scorekeeper had it out for me, Cost me two of my games at least,
See, I told you they do that shit,

Seems to be working,
Not if I was guarding you,
- Yo, listen, I'm gonna get back to my workout, - Yo, yo, Gill,
Yo, I said that stuff 'cause I respect your game, you know,
We used to go hard at each other back in the day,

Sure, yeah, yeah, I'll see what I could do,
We could always use a backup,

Listen, I'm,,, I'm trying to be real classy here with the tie and coat,

Well, as long as you're paying for dinner, huh, Pop?
Actually, it's on me, So, don't remind me,
Good time,
But I want to share this one story,
You know, Susan, she,,, she made lunches for the kids every day
and everyone was picky,
I mean Billy wanted baloney,
Suzie and Chrissy, they wanted their PB&J's
and Jackie just loved his fried chicken,
But my sweet Susan, she didn't complain once, not once,
She never complained about those late hours or raising the kids,
You are the most generous, grateful, kind person I know,
I love you with all my heart, pearl,
I love you, too,
I tell you my mom's drunk,
But it didn't stop there,
As soon as Suzie and Chrissy were old enough,
they started helping out,
When it was time for Billy to,,, to come alongside his old man
and work right next to me, he didn't bat an eye,
I'm a very lucky man,
So, here's to my,,, my wife and kids,
I'm gonna go congratulate him,
- I'll be right back, - I think you can have some water,
Pop, congratulations,
- Sit down, Jackie, - No, no, I'm so proud of you and mom,
I just feel bad for her, you know,
She's got to spend every day with his miserable ass now, huh?
Jackie, come on, Let's go, buddy,
- Get the fuck off me, - Jackie, don't,
You didn't waste one opportunity to take a shot at me, huh?
Not one,
- You piece of shit, - Come on, Jackie, Let's go,

He's just dehydrated, okay? It's okay,
Pizza's here,

Well, Jackie made it to the NFL, so you have to wear these beads,
You touch me with those beads, I will break your fucking wrist, Do you hear me?
Jenny, Baby,
Baby? Now you want to call me baby?
Did you call me baby five minutes ago?
- Are you out of your goddamn mind? - What?
You're such a piece of shit, you know that? I'm done,
Jenny, wait, Just wait, just wait,
Let me talk to you for one second,
Jeez, please, please, please, please, please,
- Jackie, I don't want to talk to you right now, - I'm fucking sorry,
I know you're sorry, but you know what, I'm so fucking pissed at you right now,
but let me give you a piece of advice,
Tell these people to leave and go to sleep,
I can't tell them to fucking leave,
I don't even know who the fuck they are,
- People,,, - Why can't you fucking tell them to leave?
Of course, you can't tell them to leave
because you're the fucking life of the party, aren't you?
And that fucking girl was grinding on me all fucking night,
- I don't even know her fucking name, - Oh, my God!
- The girl, - Don't even get me started with the girls,
It's so fucking disrespectful,
I sacrificed so much to help you out and you're throwing it all away,,,

Why do you always fucking do this?
I'm a fuck up, Again, I'm sorry, I love you, Please, Please,

Nice day for a tryout,
I,,, I know you're nervous, You've been running your mouth the whole month,
Look at this fucking guy,
He's a good ball player though, so are you,
I mean I've been in this business a long time,
You've got one of the purest jump shots I have ever seen,
I don't know about that,
Hey, you know what, you're lucky,
You got a chance to fix a lot of wrongs,
It's something most people from our neighborhood never get to do,
You know, like, like me, right, Most of the guys of my age went off to Vietnam,
I was in the Airborne Special Forces,
but I never even left the country,
Now, I get to write about basketball,
You know, when I started at The Post,
they said the NBA would never last,
Now, look what here we are, Here you are,
Hey, you know, you didn't have to give me this shot?
I appreciate it,
Ah, what can I say? I like an underdog,
Come on, let's go,

so I want to get you guys through some basic conditioning drills,
I want to see what you do with our motion offense
and then we're going to let you run up and down in scrimmage,
We want to see you working hard and we want to see who can play,

I'm not gonna lie to you, I could use a little smoke blown up my ass right about now,
Uh, well, you ever play in Europe?
No, no, This was my first tryout ever,
Alright, well, you didn't make it this year,

I'm inviting you,
Thanks, Coach,

And stay in shape and, uh, keep shooting,
Always,
Whoa! How'd it go?
You look like a bag of shit,
You look like an orphaned raccoon,

Oh, probably not because, you know, you became such a big shot,
It had nothing to do with me, The Dominican shit was you, remember?
Do you remember?
Dragging me into that shit again!
Wait, so this is all on me?
It's always fucking you, taking me away from training, my fucking girl,

Hey, gentlemen, how you doing today?
Uh, unfortunately, Jackie already knows what he needs to do
in order to open an account with us here,
Told you, Pops, It's always the same shit with this guy,
Well, listen here, you little shit!
I've been coming to this bank for over 40 years, You hear me?
Long before you were even a glint in your daddy's eye,
so don't talk to me about credit history,
We're the Ryan family, okay?
- Sir, - Do you understand that?
Maybe, if you don't understand that, I should go talk to your manager
- whose brother I've been working alongside for the past 20 years, - Sir, that's not necessary,
That will not be necessary, Jackie, welcome to the banking family over here,
Stephanie will get you taken care of on Sunday,
Appreciate it,
Does this mean I got a credit card?
- Holy shit! - Thank you,
Have a great day, Mr, Ryan,

I mean, you're not getting any skinnier,
- What the hell is the matter with you? - You see what you start?

Nobody's getting fat, especially not your grandmother, magical princess,
Easy, that's enough dear,
Yeah, Hey, Dad,
The doc told you you got to cut that out,
Jesus, that's salt, And who made you Dr, Quinn all of a sudden?
You know, Billy mentioned the guys down at work were asking when you're gonna come back,
That's great,
Jackie, it's true, I mean, the guys at the site don't care that you didn't make the team
and we could really use your help,
- Okay, - Well, come on, Jackie, Just say Grace so we can eat,
Alright, thank God, Let's eat,
Hello, hello, Ryan family,
Oh, are you hungry?
No, no thank you, I'm good,

Oh, look, I'm selling insurance with my uncle, Uh, can we talk?
Yeah, go ahead, It's a free country,
Uh, I mean, you guys are eating, In private,
Did you close the backdoor 'cause I got the AC on?
I always shut the back door, Big Jack,
- Come on, it's about business, - What kind of business?
I'm not buying anything you're selling looking like a car salesman over here,
Yo, fuck off, Marty,
No, it's a business of me being your agent, Jackie,
You're funny, Marty, You're really funny,
Jackie, I'm serious on my mother,
I got a call today from the owner of a professional basketball team,
They want you to try out for them,
Yeah,
I got to work tomorrow,
Jackie, go, come on,
Come on, Jackie,

I'll be at Faros, alright?
- Thank you, Mwah! - Love you, Ma,
Yo, so who called? What's going on?
The owner of the Harlem Wizards,
So, you think he's the real deal?
Is he blowing smoke up your ass or what?
You met him at the tryouts,
Of course, he's the real deal, Jackie, Why else would I be here?
Excuse me,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, No,
Not if I don't get my potato chips, you calorie count motherfucker,
Are you kidding me with that right now?
- Don't curse in front of the children, - I don't,,, it's not my fault,
Ear muffs, baby, earmuffs,
Don't you fucking curse in front of the fucking kids,
What, you want to be healthy, huh, huh?
- Here's some fucking green beans, - Oh, wow, are you kidding me?
Mom!
I just want the potato chips in the casserole,
- What,,, how,,, - I want your napkin off the table,
I can't believe I still live,,,
Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, they think maybe,,, maybe a heart attack,
He's gonna be fine,
Hey, go get the car,
- Okay, Go, go, - I,,, I need you to go with him,
Go with him, I have to get the girls up,
Baby, I'm gonna meet you at the hospital with the girls,
Come in,
- Hey, Pop, - Hey, Saint Peter ain't cashing my checks,
so you girls can relax,
Did the bank send you your credit card yet?
- Yeah, yeah, I ran it up already, - Jackie,
Yeah, can,,, can you go find your,,, your mother and your sisters,
I,,, Someone stole my lighter
and get the number of the cute nurse while you're at it,
Sure, Pops,
You know, they're putting warning labels on these things,
Yeah, You can be a real asshole sometimes, too,
Yeah, newsflash,
You trying to give me a real heart attack?
How do you feel?
Damn, right,
You know, when I was a kid, I dreamed of being a football player,
And out of high school, I got drafted in the Navy, They sent me off to Korea,
I was lucky enough to come back with two good knees,
But my old man had other plans for me,
No football, handed me a union card, drove me down to the piers,
I had just served my country and he said, "They did you a favor,"
But that's the way he looked at life,
I was gonna go to work just like he did, just like his father,
Dad, I don't want that life,
Well, what do you want to do, Jackie?
I'm gonna stop being a fuck up,
I want to make this basketball thing work for real,
Well, sometimes what we want isn't a God-given right
and you gotta make accommodations for reality,
You gotta do something you love,
And God must have given you this ability for some reason,
You haven't seen me play in years, What the fuck are you talking about?
Well, all I've been seeing is you walking around like a zombie and I hate it,
Go make a man out of yourself,
Come in,
- Hey, Pop, - Hey,
I found that cute nurse you were talking about,
Ah, yeah, I was joking, It was for you,
- Yeah, yeah, Come on, girls, Say hi to him, - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hey, girls, How are you? Give me a kiss,
Mwah!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm alright, Were you guys scared?
- Yeah, - Yeah, well, I wasn't scared,
- I told them that you are going to be fine, right? - Yeah, that's right,
I'm gonna be fine,
That you are going to look after yourself,
- Yeah, Right? - Yeah, That's right,
I'm feeling better already,
What are you doing?
It's my hair, huh?
Jackie, get those smokes out of your nose,
Look at Uncle Jackie,
- Hey, hey, where's my lighter? - Hey!
Where's my lighter?
Jen, how you doing?
I'm great, You?
Yeah, I'm playing again,
Yeah, you belong on the court,
You're still seeing that guy?
- How's your dad? - I'm just saying, if you weren't seeing that guy,
- we could grab a slice,,, - You know what? Tell your family I said hello, okay?
Wait, wait, I'm sorry, okay? I,,, I fucked up,
I'm sorry,
- You did, - I'm sorry,
You should get back to your game,
Hold up, hold up, Just hear me out,
I regret most things in my life, okay?
Mainly because I can't keep my mouth shut or my ego in check,
But the thing I regret the most is the things I didn't say to you,
You are the most important thing in my life and I miss you to bits,
Guess what?
I got a credit card,
That's disgusting,
Get a wallet,
You look good,
Yeah, I know,
Yo, ball up,
Oh, shit!
I'm glad to see you're so relaxed,
You got this in the bag, right?
Yeah, well that's what dad said and he didn't fucking get the job, so,,,
Hey, you've been on this site since you were 18 years old,
They'd be lucky to have you as a foreman, remember that,
I think I'm gonna ask Tammy to marry me,
What?
Yeah, we talked about it and I just think it's what's best for my girl, you know,
and I just want to do good for her, you know,
I really need this promotion, Jackie,
Have you told mom and pops yet? I mean, mom will be doing cartwheels,
I ain't told nobody yet,
But I could really use a best man now,
Are you serious?
Yeah,
I'm too nervous right now, Jackie,
- I need to go smoke a cigarette, okay, - Go ahead,
You know my brother's got this in the bag, you might as well go home,
Mr, Olson, How you doing?
What are you doing here, Jackie?
I,,, Sorry to barge in like that, Do you mind if I sit down?
- Yeah, Go right ahead, - Thanks,
I know Billy's coming in next,
That's true, Is something wrong?
No, no, I just wanted to say that I really think he deserves this job,
Well, you and I both know that he's a strong candidate,
but, uh, he has some marks against him,
I understand that,
Uh, you see in my family,
my dad says we're not management material
and that's probably true for me and my dad, but Billy's different,
You know, he's not perfect, but he's got the respect of the guys like no other,
always been by my dad's side, he knows the business soup to nuts
and I think your boss would be lucky to have him as a foreman,
That's all I wanted to say,
- Thank you, Mr, Olson, - Thank you,
Appreciate it,
Huh,
We got a foreman in the car,
- I can't believe he offered me the job in the room, - You deserve it, Billy,
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it,
Looks like I'm gonna be bossing people around now, Ma,
Oh, I'm so proud of you,
I'm gonna make you casserole with chips,
Tell me, tell me everything,
Olson called me after you left the room,
He told me what you did,
You're a good brother,
You would have done the same thing, Pop,
Not like that,
Ah, that was touching, I mean, that was like a really, true Ryan "feeling me" moment,
- I think, I think my,,, - Yo, what's going on over here?
