Ballers (2015) s04e07 Episode Script
The Kids Are Alright
1 Here we go.
Hey, Coach! I just got off with the Board of Regents.
- SPENCER STRASMORE: What'd they say? - COACH: No, no, no.
- SPENCER: What could they say no to? - To you.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) Two hundred million dollars.
That's the market price for a ten-year deal with us these days.
JOE KRUTEL: I dreamt our business cratered.
That got me combing through our remaining roster, and I came across Illegal Civ.
They're raw.
We hear a whole lot better with food in our stomachs.
- Yeah, do you know Roscoe's? - Done.
See you soon.
JOE: Dammit! I would appreciate if you would reconsider your stance on Ricky.
I'm serious about suiting up for you this season.
I got bad news.
I couldn't make the deal.
- They wanted too much money.
- If I was you, I'd figure out a way to make the deal with them.
Because you and me already got one.

- BRET: dilate your asshole.
- Mi hermanos Andersones.
¿Como esta? How you boys feelin'? Beware of Strasmores bearing gifts.
Quite sure that's not how the saying goes, Bret.
When they give you a new kidney, they leave the old one inside of you, so it's like a shitty used car permanently parked on the overgrown lawn on your life.
At least you have a brother who was willing to give you one.
That's some 30 for 30 shit right there.
Willing? He sold it to me for two million fuckin' bucks.
One point eight, ya cheap fuck.
And guess what? It wasn't worth it.
Well, the story just became a lot less uplifting.
What do you want, Spencer? And please do not tell me you're here lookin' for a bailout for that surf nightmare you sunk yourselves into.
No, I have come here to offer you an opportunity to become media titans.
On the public access channel you inherited? I've seen fish tanks more riveting.
Exactly.
Which is why I'm rebranding it and we are gonna pivot back to football.
You think you can buy NFL rights? No.
The NFL ratings are taking a nosedive.
But you know what's not? - Mommy porn? - College football, Bret.
You should see somebody about that.
- So which college? - USC.
Pac-12 deal is ending, and we're gonna lock 'em down with a bid they can't refuse.
And how much are "we" planning to bid? 200 over ten years.
- Come on.
- (BRET LAUGHS) Million? 200 million? That's the deal you flew out here to dazzle us with? - JULIAN: Where is the upside? - The upside is a billion-dollar secret that I have been sitting on about the big, bright future of their program.
- Go on.
- Go on.
What if I told you that the greatest athlete on the planet is gonna shock the world with his decision.
LeBron is goin' back to college.
No, this is a new king.
And guess how many people know where he's headed? - Just you? - Yeah, and it's gonna stay that way.
Billion-dollar insider info right now, boys.
Wow that is floppin' around in the mud.
I knew you were dirty, I didn't know you were this dirty.
Well, no dirtier than the NCAA.
You're not worried about betting your name and future on the word of a teenager? Look at my face.
Do I look worried? The lawyer will be in touch while I vet.
Now get out.
Like you both more when you're medicated.
- (SPENCER CHUCKLES) - BRET: I need that.
I need to go.
Oh, OK.
Go deep, go deep.
Yeah, well, whose brilliant idea was it to get them fried chicken like they're pigeons in a park? Because I'm black I'm supposed to know about chicken? Jesse, hey, you have that spreadsheet? Oh, OK, yeah, I need one minute, too.
Nobody listens to me around here.
More like everybody's tired of listening to your ass.
I'm sorry, but we no longer rep Hold on! Put that fuckin' call on hold.
Who do we no longer rep, and who is that on the phone? It's Yanni from Nike.
He's calling about Nyjah's avail for a new campaign.
Gimme that.
Gimme that! Hey, Yanni, my man.
It's Joe Krutel.
Joe! Joey! We know each other? I'm the new creative director and owner of Sports X.
Um, how can I help you? - What do you need? - I gotta get with Nyjah.
I got an idea for a dope new SB campaign, but I gotta move quick.
Is he around and avail? Oh, God, unfortunately that's both great and awful.
He's not.
Um he had a death in the family.
- No! - Yeah.
You know his Weimaraner, Bobby? - Not Bobby! - Yeah.
Bobby got hit by a garbage truck.
- He is no more.
- Dude! That's awful.
Maybe I can send him something.
Uh, no.
I don't think you should.
It'll only reopen the wounds.
- Know what I mean? - Fuck! I feel bad for the kid.
And the dog.
But I gotta jump.
I gotta chase down another piece of talent.
Well, maybe I can help with that.
Who else ya got? What if you do less of a star-centric face campaign and it's more about a cultural revolution, - a whole clique.
- OK, what clique? Illegal Civilization.
(LAUGHS) Come on, man.
Those kids are animals.
You know they upper-decked the Puma offices when Lance brought them in for a general? That was before we put them through our specialized finishing school.
- No shit? - For real.
I would not lie to you.
You're too important to our business.
Are they around for a meet? Yeah.
Why don't you come by the office today.
- I'm already there, Joe.
- Great.
Boom! (IMITATES WHIRRING SOUND, SHOTGUN BLAST) 'K.
Can I have my phone back? I can't.
I just shot it into a million pieces.
DENNIS: Whoooee! Damn, son! You grow webs on your feet or somethin'? You smashed your own PB.
Just motivated by the money, Pops.
Same as always.
That better be all that's pushin' you.
What'd you say? I'm just sayin' what I'm sayin'.
My body's a temple.
Always has been, always will be.
Baby.
Get ready, we got a barbecue with the Whites.
Now, why has it always gotta be about race, sweetie? No, Pops, that's their name.
The Whites.
The Whites' barbecue? We barbecuin' white folks now? You better get you some of that spicy-ass rub, 'cause you know that white meat ain't as flavorful - as this dark meat, baby.
- Who says you even rollin'? - Come on, man, you gotta let me go! - Who the hell are the Whites, anyway? Some tech dude.
Made an app that matches dogs for playdates.
So, like Tinder for dogs? Yeah, but they always down to fuck.
Damn, man! People keep stealin' all my good ideas! For real! Bullshit.
Sounds like those skate brats are runnin' you ragged, huh? Dude, it's like herding stoned cats.
If I could track down these little fuckers, at least the payoff will be worth it.
You know, Joseph, it sounds like you found your calling.
God, I hope not.
How'd it go with the brothers? It's all good.
They just texted me they are in.
Money in the bank, and ready to play.
That's great news.
Meanwhile, I'll be here steering the ship away from the iceberg.
Hey! No, no, no, no.
Those aren't the new design.
Take 'em back.
- Throw those out.
- Be the iceberg, Joseph.
- Be the iceberg.
- What does that even mean? It means I don't know what the fuck it means.
I can tell you this: When it's all said and done, you and I are gonna raise a glass, my friend.
I don't drink anymore.
I quit.
- Ha ha ha! I'm kidding.
- Hold on.
- No, don't put me on ho - Shh shh shh! TV: While it's not official, an anonymous source confirmed to us that Quincy Crawford has made a verbal commitment to play for the Buckeyes.
- Yeah! - All right! Hey, shut the fuck up! This is a huge win for Ohio State Uh, uh, it's gonna go down It's gonna go down when they get to the ground (SONG CONTINUES, LYRICS INDISTINCT) Knock 'em down, down, down What goes up, up, up Is gonna go down, down, down - (PHONE RINGING) - It's gonna go down - Yo, who this? - You know who this is.
- Where the hell you been? - Just gettin' dirty on these ATVs.
You gotta come try it next time.
It'll get you right.
What up? Ohio State, Q, Ohio State.
- That's what up.
- Oh, that.
Yeah.
I guess I told 'em what they wanted to hear, like everyone else who flashin' me love.
- You feel me? - Everyone who? Not you.
But Unc, I met LeBron at The Shoe.
This dude's mad charming.
I mean, he still text me.
What am I supposed to do? You don't say no to the King.
Yes, Q, you do.
In this case you say no.
You say hell no.
I told him I'd love to go there before you came back on the scene with all your suss-ass deals and shit.
But that's old news.
Last I heard, we're waiting till Signing Day.
Shit, they must have heard about our trip to USC - and leaked it.
- That's fucked.
Yes, it is, Q.
Massively.
It's about to sink our deal.
Do you understand that? This is your money we're talking about.
You wanted me in on this deal, I'm in.
But if you got loose ends you gotta take care of, you gotta take care of 'em.
Hear me? We gotta make a quick stop to Columbus.
Oh, yeah.
Mmm.
Mmm.
MAN: Oh.
(CLINKING) Hmm.
So, were you in the league, too? Yeah, CFL.
It's in Canadia.
Oh, really? We just bought a lake house in Vancouver.
- Word? - Yeah.
You and Ricky are welcome anytime.
Thank you? Is it all isolated? Like no one can hear you scream? You see, most people don't realize that all of the energy's generated from the lower body and that you gotta sort of explode - Oh! - from the hips.
(BOTH LAUGH) Well, now I can see where your handsome son gets it from.
Oh, honey, I only gave him half of it.
JOYCE WHITE: He's only been in for a year.
- We have to give him time.
- RICKY: Right.
I mean, sure, Trump is an eccentric, but so were so many of our great leaders.
Imagine if Lincoln had Twitter.
- (LAUGHTER) - What? Or Teddy Roosevelt had Snapchat.
But he is moving us forward, and the rest is just noise.
I just mean you have to look at what he's doing for people like us.
- Like us? - Yeah! - Yeah, like us.
- Yeah, successful, self-made Americans.
Don't hate us for wanting to keep our money, right? JERRY: Yeah, come on.
We work hard, (SING-SONGY) we got rich as fuck on the backs of our own sweat and tears, and he wants to let people like us keep the fruits of our labor.
I think that's something that the whole country can get behind.
Lookit, we didn't ask for any handouts.
We did it by grinding it out, and so can everybody else.
Yeah, I can see the calluses on your hands.
(ALL LAUGH) That's what I love about you, Rick.
You get it.
A lot of you don't.
I get it.
You got me.
Ricky Jerret is exactly who he needs.
What? No, you gotta speak up.
Sounds like you got bad reception up your ass.
Why don't you hit me back once you pull your head out of it.
Jerk.
- There she is.
Hey, baby.
- Hey, baby.
You couldn't pick your wife up from the airport? Mother of your child, queen of your kingdom? I wanted to pick you up, it's just that Gurley's vampire of an agent just called to renegotiate his contract a year early.
Just got things all shaken up.
Yeah? Well, the 405 got me shook.
OK? It can do that.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You matter.
It's OK.
I should have picked you up, I know that.
- Yeah, you should have.
- Now, Mrs.
Greane, can you please formally accept my apology? - Hmm? - Yes, I do.
OK.
Thank you.
I'm only gonna be in L.
A.
one night before I go to my conference in Vegas.
Today was supposed to be about us.
I know.
I see all of it.
It's just that I have to do this one thing, OK? It's not gonna take forever.
How about you go get a massage? And then maybe you hit the shops? By then I'll be done, I'll come make it up to you tonight.
- How's that sound? Yeah? - OK.
Yeah.
Mmm.
Gimme some of that.
I love you, my queen.
Love you, my king.
All right.
Bye.
Even if it's raining I'ma still drop the top Some other silly shit niggas do when they at the top Homie we don't give a damn, we rollin' What the fuck are those, slippers? These are driving shoes, motherfucker.
They're Ferragamos.
Yeah, drivin' to tell the police you saw everything.
These shits grip the pedal with precision traction while offering masculine fashion-forward accents and a bespoke European fit.
- "Bespoke"? - Look it up.
Yo! Roscoe's is here! - What's up, fellas? - Get out of my way.
JOE: Sit down, bitch.
Oh, shit! You're back.
Yeah, we're back.
That's crazy.
Nobody ever comes back.
Well, we're not fuckin' nobodies, Aramis.
We're the guys gon' make your asses rich.
Oh, yeah? How you gonna do that? Well, for starters, we got you a meeting with Nike today.
You ever heard of fuckin' Nike? Yeah, they make real fuckin' sneakers.
Yeah, they're chompin' at the bit to get some of that Illegal Civ magic all up in them corporate guts.
I mean, yeah.
I like what they up to.
Like with SB and all that.
Oh, yeah, yeah? You like what they're up to? You approve of their business model? All right, good.
Unless you wanna be drinkin' whatever the fuck that is and eatin' your dinner out of cans when you're my fuckin' age, you'll get your shit together and let us cash you in before you're yesterday's meme.
I like that.
Uncle Fester came to play today, - OK? - (LAUGHTER) - Every damn day.
- Yeah.
What the fuck is that shit? (LAUGHTER) What, you don't like E&J? E&J? I like B&J.
This is like fuckin' pee and J.
(CUP CLATTERS) We're sending a car at four.
Make sure you're fuckin' ready.
JERRY: It must be weird, huh? Being retired at such a young age.
Well, I might surprise you on that front.
Seriously? Oh! Oh, breaking news.
All right, hey, lips are sealed.
Uh-oh, somebody call Jerry Jones.
- We got a kneeler! - (LAUGHTER) Oh, dude.
Let's respect the movement, OK? Oh, the movement.
You got a problem with athletes speaking their mind or something? No, not on their own time.
Just don't drag the flag into it.
Y'all made it about the flag.
Who's "y'all"? - (LAUGHTER) - All right, easy.
I do have a serious question, though, for you.
If you go back out there, you gonna kneel? Listen, do me a favor, let's change the subject, - OK, fellas? - Whoa, whoa, are you a politician now? Come on, we're all on the same level here.
You can tell us.
Come on.
- Oh, shit.
- Oh, you would.
- You're gonna kneel! - You totally would! - I knew it! - You would fucking kneel! You damn right I'd kneel, motherfucker! And I'd kneel every Sunday.
Know I'm sayin'? Fuck Trump! Fuck that racist-ass bitch! - Whoa, holy shit.
- OK, that's Listen, man, you gotta respect the office, Ricky.
- Where's our respect?! - He's your president too, man.
Where the fuck is our respect, huh?! - What are you talking about? - My people.
That's right! This is not about race! My mother raised me a single mother on welfare.
Government cheese and white bread.
And I'm here because I got some assistance when I needed it.
OK, you're an exception.
That's right, I am an exception.
So fuck you.
(PEOPLE MURMURING) - (PHONE CHIMING) - (SPENCER GROANS) What's up, brother? JASON: Where are you? Oh, sunny SoCal.
Yeah, me too.
You got a minute to link up later? Know what, I don't.
I'm slammed right now.
Is it important or can it wait? Oh, I'm just curious.
Look, I don't judge you for that curiosity, brother.
- (LAUGHS) - No, I'm not curious about myself, Strasmore.
I'm curious about you and the Andersons.
Word on the street is that they're trying to make a deal for USC's TV rights.
You know anything about that? No, not a thing.
But, look, those guys have their own agenda, and you don't need me to tell you what color it is.
Where'd you hear that from, anyway? Dan Davis.
- (WHISPERS) Fuck.
- Say something.
'Cause Dan did.
He asked me what I thought about you.
I vouched.
I told him you were solid.
- I appreciate that.
- I told him you were a stand-up guy.
But, obviously, I lied.
You got your nose buried in a new pile but on a different coast.
You know, with you, the story is always the fuckin' same.
I just better not hear the name "Quincy Crawford" mentioned.
Hey, come on.
I wouldn't do that to you, J.
Let me remind you just in case you are having memory problems, which you so clearly are, he better come out of this thing clean, or I am coming for you, big man.
(DISCONNECTS) Hey.
Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
Any time, Mr.
Strasmore.
We're always happy to have a legend in these halls, even if they did choose the wrong school back in the day.
- Well, you live and learn, right? - You do, you do.
Have a seat, please.
- Thank you, Tom.
- Please.
Sorry Urban couldn't make it, but he's out rustling the bushes, - if you know what I mean.
- I do.
Left me in charge of the nuthouse.
(LAUGHS) Right, well, I'll make it quick, Todd.
I'm here on behalf of Quincy Crawford.
Oh.
You're friends? Well, I'm his uncle.
(LAUGHING) Really? Uncle Spencer? - Uncle Spencie.
- (BOTH LAUGHING) Well, Q's family is our family.
I'm happy to hear that, because any time you hear bad news, you always wanna hear it from somebody you love.
Am I right? Excuse me? Todd, I'm gonna shoot straight with ya.
Like LeBron, Q is gonna take his talents elsewhere.
He's looking for a more suitable environment in terms of his education, and he needs to be closer to home.
Is that right? Sad to say, it is.
He feels terrible about this whole thing, and, you know, under it all, he's just a shy kid who doesn't wanna disappoint anybody, so he asked me to come up here and see you face to face to deliver the news.
Well, I'm sorry to hear it, and Urban will be even more sorry.
Tell Urban that Saban was even sorrier, but there's only one kid to go around.
- Right? - Mm.
Well, thanks for coming by to let us know in person.
We are sad to lose him, but understand these things are personal matters, and there's - so much to consider.
- Look, Todd, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm really happy we have a good understanding.
Of course.
Uh, Jeannie will make sure you have the proper directions to the airport.
- I'm good, flying private.
Thank you.
- Oh, right! Yeah, you Miami boys love your bling.
Am I right? We know you're looking for targeted saturation, and-and a truly grassroots campaign.
Well, these kids uh, these kids come ready with that target demographic following.
We're bringing you ready-made, authentic vibe.
I mean, you can't manufacture this in a marketing lab.
Authenticity is key.
- Yeah.
- We're still wiping the yolk from our face from the Bella Hadid campaign.
I liked that campaign.
Reggie, we did too, but the people spoke, and when they speak, we listen.
- Oh, man.
- Yo, Ryder, you good? - I don't think so.
- Uh, do you guys need a break? - Fuck, fuck.
- You all right, man? It's fine, it's fine.
They just had too many Red Bulls, - I think.
- (KIDS RETCHING) What the fuck?! (RETCHING CONTINUES) - What the fuck?! - Oh! No, no, no.
Come on, guys, guys, guys.
(KIDS LAUGHING) JOE: Oh, what the fuck?! Oh, come on! Oh, no! (KIDS LAUGHING) DENNIS: What the hell's the matter with you? You tryin' to get your ass kicked out the neighborhood before you even get settled? Yeah, I'd like to see 'em try that.
Our baby has to go to school with their kids, Ricky.
You ever think about that? I have to see these people every damn day.
Shit, why can't you just be polite? Fuck being polite! That man was talkin' to me - like I ain't got no love for my community.
- This is your community, boy! You clearly gonna have to up your dosage, Ricky.
I mean, you're acting erratic.
You're emotional.
It's like you got a shorter fuse.
You my damn shrink now too, man? You wouldn't know a fuckin' shrink if it jumped out the ocean and bit you on your dick! AMBER: All right, look, calm down.
Baby, things are different here, all right? Sometimes we gotta keep our causes to ourselves.
We're not asking you to change how you feel.
Oh, God.
I can't believe y'all! Oh, you wanna end up like Kaep.
Well, that man led a movement.
What are people gonna remember me for? Or you, old man? Look, a legacy is earned on the field, in the grass between the chains, not by running your goddamn mouth.
So shut it before it costs you more than you can cover.
Baby, we support you, just Just not really, though.
Told you he was sensitive.
- TTD, shut the fuck up.
- Every time.
(TWITTER WHISTLE) JULIE: Hey, baby.
Hey.
Look what I got.
Look at this! Couldn't you just die? Damn, baby, you leave anything up in the stores? You probably ran through Kiki's college fund.
Boy, please, you know she gettin' a scholarship.
- (CHARLES LAUGHS) - Plus, I had to do something with all my unexpected free time.
I'm sorry, baby.
But it just doesn't stop! The contracts, the emails, this guy's ego, that guy's torn ACL.
- Popcorn vendors.
- You need to relax.
I can't.
I can't do it.
(GRUNTS) Ya know, I just feel like I'm failin' everybody all the time.
The organization, the players, my friends and most importantly, you and Kiki.
Why would you say that? Because look at this! Is this our life now? No, I brought us out here thinkin' I was onto something, - I thought - What you thought is, you thought you were gonna finally be the boss.
You were gonna fulfill your destiny.
Remember when you were worried about down payments and GPS add-ons at the dealership? Yes.
Much simpler time.
Doesn't seem so bad now.
You were afraid to fail then, and now you're afraid to succeed.
Not havin' you and Kiki out here is really wearin' me down.
I don't know if I can keep doin' it.
It's like sometimes I feel like I'm half a man or somethin'.
Oh, Mr.
Greane.
You are a lot of things but half a man ain't one of 'em.
That's a full man.
(SQUEALS, LAUGHS) - Feel this full - (PHONE CHIMES) man of yours - (PHONE CHIMES) - go to work.
You see Andrew anywhere? JULIE: No.
He wasn't out there.
CHARLES: OK, well, that's Let's clear off this desk RADIO COMMENTATOR: another incredible class of athletes - to look at again this year.
- (PHONE CHIMING) Julian, what can I do for you? The kid's incredible.
He's once in a generation.
I made it 250 to take it off the table.
Smart move.
You won't regret it.
- J, I gotta run.
- Hey (SIREN BLEATS) (THUNDER RUMBLING) Evenin', Mr.
Strasmore.
(CHUCKLES) OK.
Is there a problem, Officer? COP: I sure hope not.
You wanna step out of the vehicle, Mr.
Strasmore? And why would I want to do that? Because we asked you so damn nice.
(POLICE DOG PANTING) (DOG BARKS) - (DOG GROWLS) - SPENCER: Oh so you think I'd bomb my own plane, huh? That's Trigger.
He's not so much on bombs, but he likes him some drugs.
By that, I mean he likes findin' 'em.
We've had a lot of problems with private flights transportin' cash and narcotics lately.
We're just gonna take a little peek in your rental before you go.
- Sure.
- (DOG BARKS, GROWLS) (CHUCKLING) I got a script for those.
That's a lot of pills for one man.
That's enough to get an elephant high.
You know, sellin' those is a felony.
No shit.
(DOOR SLAMS) (BUZZER) MAN: Mr.
Strasmore.
I hear you have some pill problems.
- Lawyer.
- That won't be necessary, Spencer.
You don't mind if I call you Spencer, do you? Who are you? My name is Jimmy Dale Pritchard, but my friends call me J.
D.
I got a script for those pills, J.
D.
Oh, I don't care about those pills.
That was just my way of gettin' the boys to be able to bring you in so that we could have a little chat.
(LAUGHS) I know it was a bit dramatic.
But we wanted to make sure that we had your undivided attention.
Who's "we"? Is this your first time in Columbus? You know, this is a beautiful city, and a great place to go to school.
You know, I met my wife on campus? Thirty-five years ago.
And we still goin' strong.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, now, you may find this hard to believe, but I used to play a little bit myself.
Yeah.
I mean, second string, of course.
But, man, did I have the spirit! You know the guy Todd that you spoke to today? - He was my freshman roommate.
- Ah.
So you're a booster.
I hate that word.
I prefer "enthusiastic supporter.
" You see, I do all of this just for the pride of it.
Now, for someone like yourself, that might be challenging.
But for some of us, well, that's enough.
(SMACKS WALL) Let me tell you something, J.
D.
I was only trying to help my girlfriend's son make some life decisions.
Maybe that's hard for you to believe, but it's the truth.
Let me tell you something else.
If I happen to piss on your Rose Parade, then you better open up a goddamn umbrella, because you sauntering in here, and this, and all this bullshit, doesn't scare me one bit.
That's good.
It doesn't scare you.
Well, I got some friends over at the NCAA that will have a field day with puttin' the fear of God in your heart.
Oh, is that right? So you gonna go Old Testament on me, J.
D.
? The kid stays a Buckeye everything goes back to normal, and life is good for everyone.
And if not, we're comin' for you and everything you got your dirty little hands in.
And believe me we know things.
That's right.
Look away.
GUARD: Open four.
J.
D.
: Spencer.
(SIGHS) Don't forget these.
For your pain.
Sendin' countries to war Just killin' themselves People tryin' to get higher - Whilst livin' in hell - (BUZZER) The devil keeps tryin' You got to play with the fire To save yourself What you gonna do, watch the world fall down Watch the world fall down Are you brave enough to play with fire? Strong enough to put the pains behind you? Who can you trust up in a world of liars? Wait a second, all the lie will guide you Are you brave enough to play with fire? Strong enough to put the pains behind you? Who can you trust up in a world of liars? Wait a second, all the lie will guide you Remember why we're here Doo doo Find love, hurry, disappear Doo doo Today, not tomorrow Remember why we're here Doo doo Find love, hurry, disappear Doo doo Today, not tomorrow
Hey, Coach! I just got off with the Board of Regents.
- SPENCER STRASMORE: What'd they say? - COACH: No, no, no.
- SPENCER: What could they say no to? - To you.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) Two hundred million dollars.
That's the market price for a ten-year deal with us these days.
JOE KRUTEL: I dreamt our business cratered.
That got me combing through our remaining roster, and I came across Illegal Civ.
They're raw.
We hear a whole lot better with food in our stomachs.
- Yeah, do you know Roscoe's? - Done.
See you soon.
JOE: Dammit! I would appreciate if you would reconsider your stance on Ricky.
I'm serious about suiting up for you this season.
I got bad news.
I couldn't make the deal.
- They wanted too much money.
- If I was you, I'd figure out a way to make the deal with them.
Because you and me already got one.

- BRET: dilate your asshole.
- Mi hermanos Andersones.
¿Como esta? How you boys feelin'? Beware of Strasmores bearing gifts.
Quite sure that's not how the saying goes, Bret.
When they give you a new kidney, they leave the old one inside of you, so it's like a shitty used car permanently parked on the overgrown lawn on your life.
At least you have a brother who was willing to give you one.
That's some 30 for 30 shit right there.
Willing? He sold it to me for two million fuckin' bucks.
One point eight, ya cheap fuck.
And guess what? It wasn't worth it.
Well, the story just became a lot less uplifting.
What do you want, Spencer? And please do not tell me you're here lookin' for a bailout for that surf nightmare you sunk yourselves into.
No, I have come here to offer you an opportunity to become media titans.
On the public access channel you inherited? I've seen fish tanks more riveting.
Exactly.
Which is why I'm rebranding it and we are gonna pivot back to football.
You think you can buy NFL rights? No.
The NFL ratings are taking a nosedive.
But you know what's not? - Mommy porn? - College football, Bret.
You should see somebody about that.
- So which college? - USC.
Pac-12 deal is ending, and we're gonna lock 'em down with a bid they can't refuse.
And how much are "we" planning to bid? 200 over ten years.
- Come on.
- (BRET LAUGHS) Million? 200 million? That's the deal you flew out here to dazzle us with? - JULIAN: Where is the upside? - The upside is a billion-dollar secret that I have been sitting on about the big, bright future of their program.
- Go on.
- Go on.
What if I told you that the greatest athlete on the planet is gonna shock the world with his decision.
LeBron is goin' back to college.
No, this is a new king.
And guess how many people know where he's headed? - Just you? - Yeah, and it's gonna stay that way.
Billion-dollar insider info right now, boys.
Wow that is floppin' around in the mud.
I knew you were dirty, I didn't know you were this dirty.
Well, no dirtier than the NCAA.
You're not worried about betting your name and future on the word of a teenager? Look at my face.
Do I look worried? The lawyer will be in touch while I vet.
Now get out.
Like you both more when you're medicated.
- (SPENCER CHUCKLES) - BRET: I need that.
I need to go.
Oh, OK.
Go deep, go deep.
Yeah, well, whose brilliant idea was it to get them fried chicken like they're pigeons in a park? Because I'm black I'm supposed to know about chicken? Jesse, hey, you have that spreadsheet? Oh, OK, yeah, I need one minute, too.
Nobody listens to me around here.
More like everybody's tired of listening to your ass.
I'm sorry, but we no longer rep Hold on! Put that fuckin' call on hold.
Who do we no longer rep, and who is that on the phone? It's Yanni from Nike.
He's calling about Nyjah's avail for a new campaign.
Gimme that.
Gimme that! Hey, Yanni, my man.
It's Joe Krutel.
Joe! Joey! We know each other? I'm the new creative director and owner of Sports X.
Um, how can I help you? - What do you need? - I gotta get with Nyjah.
I got an idea for a dope new SB campaign, but I gotta move quick.
Is he around and avail? Oh, God, unfortunately that's both great and awful.
He's not.
Um he had a death in the family.
- No! - Yeah.
You know his Weimaraner, Bobby? - Not Bobby! - Yeah.
Bobby got hit by a garbage truck.
- He is no more.
- Dude! That's awful.
Maybe I can send him something.
Uh, no.
I don't think you should.
It'll only reopen the wounds.
- Know what I mean? - Fuck! I feel bad for the kid.
And the dog.
But I gotta jump.
I gotta chase down another piece of talent.
Well, maybe I can help with that.
Who else ya got? What if you do less of a star-centric face campaign and it's more about a cultural revolution, - a whole clique.
- OK, what clique? Illegal Civilization.
(LAUGHS) Come on, man.
Those kids are animals.
You know they upper-decked the Puma offices when Lance brought them in for a general? That was before we put them through our specialized finishing school.
- No shit? - For real.
I would not lie to you.
You're too important to our business.
Are they around for a meet? Yeah.
Why don't you come by the office today.
- I'm already there, Joe.
- Great.
Boom! (IMITATES WHIRRING SOUND, SHOTGUN BLAST) 'K.
Can I have my phone back? I can't.
I just shot it into a million pieces.
DENNIS: Whoooee! Damn, son! You grow webs on your feet or somethin'? You smashed your own PB.
Just motivated by the money, Pops.
Same as always.
That better be all that's pushin' you.
What'd you say? I'm just sayin' what I'm sayin'.
My body's a temple.
Always has been, always will be.
Baby.
Get ready, we got a barbecue with the Whites.
Now, why has it always gotta be about race, sweetie? No, Pops, that's their name.
The Whites.
The Whites' barbecue? We barbecuin' white folks now? You better get you some of that spicy-ass rub, 'cause you know that white meat ain't as flavorful - as this dark meat, baby.
- Who says you even rollin'? - Come on, man, you gotta let me go! - Who the hell are the Whites, anyway? Some tech dude.
Made an app that matches dogs for playdates.
So, like Tinder for dogs? Yeah, but they always down to fuck.
Damn, man! People keep stealin' all my good ideas! For real! Bullshit.
Sounds like those skate brats are runnin' you ragged, huh? Dude, it's like herding stoned cats.
If I could track down these little fuckers, at least the payoff will be worth it.
You know, Joseph, it sounds like you found your calling.
God, I hope not.
How'd it go with the brothers? It's all good.
They just texted me they are in.
Money in the bank, and ready to play.
That's great news.
Meanwhile, I'll be here steering the ship away from the iceberg.
Hey! No, no, no, no.
Those aren't the new design.
Take 'em back.
- Throw those out.
- Be the iceberg, Joseph.
- Be the iceberg.
- What does that even mean? It means I don't know what the fuck it means.
I can tell you this: When it's all said and done, you and I are gonna raise a glass, my friend.
I don't drink anymore.
I quit.
- Ha ha ha! I'm kidding.
- Hold on.
- No, don't put me on ho - Shh shh shh! TV: While it's not official, an anonymous source confirmed to us that Quincy Crawford has made a verbal commitment to play for the Buckeyes.
- Yeah! - All right! Hey, shut the fuck up! This is a huge win for Ohio State Uh, uh, it's gonna go down It's gonna go down when they get to the ground (SONG CONTINUES, LYRICS INDISTINCT) Knock 'em down, down, down What goes up, up, up Is gonna go down, down, down - (PHONE RINGING) - It's gonna go down - Yo, who this? - You know who this is.
- Where the hell you been? - Just gettin' dirty on these ATVs.
You gotta come try it next time.
It'll get you right.
What up? Ohio State, Q, Ohio State.
- That's what up.
- Oh, that.
Yeah.
I guess I told 'em what they wanted to hear, like everyone else who flashin' me love.
- You feel me? - Everyone who? Not you.
But Unc, I met LeBron at The Shoe.
This dude's mad charming.
I mean, he still text me.
What am I supposed to do? You don't say no to the King.
Yes, Q, you do.
In this case you say no.
You say hell no.
I told him I'd love to go there before you came back on the scene with all your suss-ass deals and shit.
But that's old news.
Last I heard, we're waiting till Signing Day.
Shit, they must have heard about our trip to USC - and leaked it.
- That's fucked.
Yes, it is, Q.
Massively.
It's about to sink our deal.
Do you understand that? This is your money we're talking about.
You wanted me in on this deal, I'm in.
But if you got loose ends you gotta take care of, you gotta take care of 'em.
Hear me? We gotta make a quick stop to Columbus.
Oh, yeah.
Mmm.
Mmm.
MAN: Oh.
(CLINKING) Hmm.
So, were you in the league, too? Yeah, CFL.
It's in Canadia.
Oh, really? We just bought a lake house in Vancouver.
- Word? - Yeah.
You and Ricky are welcome anytime.
Thank you? Is it all isolated? Like no one can hear you scream? You see, most people don't realize that all of the energy's generated from the lower body and that you gotta sort of explode - Oh! - from the hips.
(BOTH LAUGH) Well, now I can see where your handsome son gets it from.
Oh, honey, I only gave him half of it.
JOYCE WHITE: He's only been in for a year.
- We have to give him time.
- RICKY: Right.
I mean, sure, Trump is an eccentric, but so were so many of our great leaders.
Imagine if Lincoln had Twitter.
- (LAUGHTER) - What? Or Teddy Roosevelt had Snapchat.
But he is moving us forward, and the rest is just noise.
I just mean you have to look at what he's doing for people like us.
- Like us? - Yeah! - Yeah, like us.
- Yeah, successful, self-made Americans.
Don't hate us for wanting to keep our money, right? JERRY: Yeah, come on.
We work hard, (SING-SONGY) we got rich as fuck on the backs of our own sweat and tears, and he wants to let people like us keep the fruits of our labor.
I think that's something that the whole country can get behind.
Lookit, we didn't ask for any handouts.
We did it by grinding it out, and so can everybody else.
Yeah, I can see the calluses on your hands.
(ALL LAUGH) That's what I love about you, Rick.
You get it.
A lot of you don't.
I get it.
You got me.
Ricky Jerret is exactly who he needs.
What? No, you gotta speak up.
Sounds like you got bad reception up your ass.
Why don't you hit me back once you pull your head out of it.
Jerk.
- There she is.
Hey, baby.
- Hey, baby.
You couldn't pick your wife up from the airport? Mother of your child, queen of your kingdom? I wanted to pick you up, it's just that Gurley's vampire of an agent just called to renegotiate his contract a year early.
Just got things all shaken up.
Yeah? Well, the 405 got me shook.
OK? It can do that.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You matter.
It's OK.
I should have picked you up, I know that.
- Yeah, you should have.
- Now, Mrs.
Greane, can you please formally accept my apology? - Hmm? - Yes, I do.
OK.
Thank you.
I'm only gonna be in L.
A.
one night before I go to my conference in Vegas.
Today was supposed to be about us.
I know.
I see all of it.
It's just that I have to do this one thing, OK? It's not gonna take forever.
How about you go get a massage? And then maybe you hit the shops? By then I'll be done, I'll come make it up to you tonight.
- How's that sound? Yeah? - OK.
Yeah.
Mmm.
Gimme some of that.
I love you, my queen.
Love you, my king.
All right.
Bye.
Even if it's raining I'ma still drop the top Some other silly shit niggas do when they at the top Homie we don't give a damn, we rollin' What the fuck are those, slippers? These are driving shoes, motherfucker.
They're Ferragamos.
Yeah, drivin' to tell the police you saw everything.
These shits grip the pedal with precision traction while offering masculine fashion-forward accents and a bespoke European fit.
- "Bespoke"? - Look it up.
Yo! Roscoe's is here! - What's up, fellas? - Get out of my way.
JOE: Sit down, bitch.
Oh, shit! You're back.
Yeah, we're back.
That's crazy.
Nobody ever comes back.
Well, we're not fuckin' nobodies, Aramis.
We're the guys gon' make your asses rich.
Oh, yeah? How you gonna do that? Well, for starters, we got you a meeting with Nike today.
You ever heard of fuckin' Nike? Yeah, they make real fuckin' sneakers.
Yeah, they're chompin' at the bit to get some of that Illegal Civ magic all up in them corporate guts.
I mean, yeah.
I like what they up to.
Like with SB and all that.
Oh, yeah, yeah? You like what they're up to? You approve of their business model? All right, good.
Unless you wanna be drinkin' whatever the fuck that is and eatin' your dinner out of cans when you're my fuckin' age, you'll get your shit together and let us cash you in before you're yesterday's meme.
I like that.
Uncle Fester came to play today, - OK? - (LAUGHTER) - Every damn day.
- Yeah.
What the fuck is that shit? (LAUGHTER) What, you don't like E&J? E&J? I like B&J.
This is like fuckin' pee and J.
(CUP CLATTERS) We're sending a car at four.
Make sure you're fuckin' ready.
JERRY: It must be weird, huh? Being retired at such a young age.
Well, I might surprise you on that front.
Seriously? Oh! Oh, breaking news.
All right, hey, lips are sealed.
Uh-oh, somebody call Jerry Jones.
- We got a kneeler! - (LAUGHTER) Oh, dude.
Let's respect the movement, OK? Oh, the movement.
You got a problem with athletes speaking their mind or something? No, not on their own time.
Just don't drag the flag into it.
Y'all made it about the flag.
Who's "y'all"? - (LAUGHTER) - All right, easy.
I do have a serious question, though, for you.
If you go back out there, you gonna kneel? Listen, do me a favor, let's change the subject, - OK, fellas? - Whoa, whoa, are you a politician now? Come on, we're all on the same level here.
You can tell us.
Come on.
- Oh, shit.
- Oh, you would.
- You're gonna kneel! - You totally would! - I knew it! - You would fucking kneel! You damn right I'd kneel, motherfucker! And I'd kneel every Sunday.
Know I'm sayin'? Fuck Trump! Fuck that racist-ass bitch! - Whoa, holy shit.
- OK, that's Listen, man, you gotta respect the office, Ricky.
- Where's our respect?! - He's your president too, man.
Where the fuck is our respect, huh?! - What are you talking about? - My people.
That's right! This is not about race! My mother raised me a single mother on welfare.
Government cheese and white bread.
And I'm here because I got some assistance when I needed it.
OK, you're an exception.
That's right, I am an exception.
So fuck you.
(PEOPLE MURMURING) - (PHONE CHIMING) - (SPENCER GROANS) What's up, brother? JASON: Where are you? Oh, sunny SoCal.
Yeah, me too.
You got a minute to link up later? Know what, I don't.
I'm slammed right now.
Is it important or can it wait? Oh, I'm just curious.
Look, I don't judge you for that curiosity, brother.
- (LAUGHS) - No, I'm not curious about myself, Strasmore.
I'm curious about you and the Andersons.
Word on the street is that they're trying to make a deal for USC's TV rights.
You know anything about that? No, not a thing.
But, look, those guys have their own agenda, and you don't need me to tell you what color it is.
Where'd you hear that from, anyway? Dan Davis.
- (WHISPERS) Fuck.
- Say something.
'Cause Dan did.
He asked me what I thought about you.
I vouched.
I told him you were solid.
- I appreciate that.
- I told him you were a stand-up guy.
But, obviously, I lied.
You got your nose buried in a new pile but on a different coast.
You know, with you, the story is always the fuckin' same.
I just better not hear the name "Quincy Crawford" mentioned.
Hey, come on.
I wouldn't do that to you, J.
Let me remind you just in case you are having memory problems, which you so clearly are, he better come out of this thing clean, or I am coming for you, big man.
(DISCONNECTS) Hey.
Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
Any time, Mr.
Strasmore.
We're always happy to have a legend in these halls, even if they did choose the wrong school back in the day.
- Well, you live and learn, right? - You do, you do.
Have a seat, please.
- Thank you, Tom.
- Please.
Sorry Urban couldn't make it, but he's out rustling the bushes, - if you know what I mean.
- I do.
Left me in charge of the nuthouse.
(LAUGHS) Right, well, I'll make it quick, Todd.
I'm here on behalf of Quincy Crawford.
Oh.
You're friends? Well, I'm his uncle.
(LAUGHING) Really? Uncle Spencer? - Uncle Spencie.
- (BOTH LAUGHING) Well, Q's family is our family.
I'm happy to hear that, because any time you hear bad news, you always wanna hear it from somebody you love.
Am I right? Excuse me? Todd, I'm gonna shoot straight with ya.
Like LeBron, Q is gonna take his talents elsewhere.
He's looking for a more suitable environment in terms of his education, and he needs to be closer to home.
Is that right? Sad to say, it is.
He feels terrible about this whole thing, and, you know, under it all, he's just a shy kid who doesn't wanna disappoint anybody, so he asked me to come up here and see you face to face to deliver the news.
Well, I'm sorry to hear it, and Urban will be even more sorry.
Tell Urban that Saban was even sorrier, but there's only one kid to go around.
- Right? - Mm.
Well, thanks for coming by to let us know in person.
We are sad to lose him, but understand these things are personal matters, and there's - so much to consider.
- Look, Todd, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm really happy we have a good understanding.
Of course.
Uh, Jeannie will make sure you have the proper directions to the airport.
- I'm good, flying private.
Thank you.
- Oh, right! Yeah, you Miami boys love your bling.
Am I right? We know you're looking for targeted saturation, and-and a truly grassroots campaign.
Well, these kids uh, these kids come ready with that target demographic following.
We're bringing you ready-made, authentic vibe.
I mean, you can't manufacture this in a marketing lab.
Authenticity is key.
- Yeah.
- We're still wiping the yolk from our face from the Bella Hadid campaign.
I liked that campaign.
Reggie, we did too, but the people spoke, and when they speak, we listen.
- Oh, man.
- Yo, Ryder, you good? - I don't think so.
- Uh, do you guys need a break? - Fuck, fuck.
- You all right, man? It's fine, it's fine.
They just had too many Red Bulls, - I think.
- (KIDS RETCHING) What the fuck?! (RETCHING CONTINUES) - What the fuck?! - Oh! No, no, no.
Come on, guys, guys, guys.
(KIDS LAUGHING) JOE: Oh, what the fuck?! Oh, come on! Oh, no! (KIDS LAUGHING) DENNIS: What the hell's the matter with you? You tryin' to get your ass kicked out the neighborhood before you even get settled? Yeah, I'd like to see 'em try that.
Our baby has to go to school with their kids, Ricky.
You ever think about that? I have to see these people every damn day.
Shit, why can't you just be polite? Fuck being polite! That man was talkin' to me - like I ain't got no love for my community.
- This is your community, boy! You clearly gonna have to up your dosage, Ricky.
I mean, you're acting erratic.
You're emotional.
It's like you got a shorter fuse.
You my damn shrink now too, man? You wouldn't know a fuckin' shrink if it jumped out the ocean and bit you on your dick! AMBER: All right, look, calm down.
Baby, things are different here, all right? Sometimes we gotta keep our causes to ourselves.
We're not asking you to change how you feel.
Oh, God.
I can't believe y'all! Oh, you wanna end up like Kaep.
Well, that man led a movement.
What are people gonna remember me for? Or you, old man? Look, a legacy is earned on the field, in the grass between the chains, not by running your goddamn mouth.
So shut it before it costs you more than you can cover.
Baby, we support you, just Just not really, though.
Told you he was sensitive.
- TTD, shut the fuck up.
- Every time.
(TWITTER WHISTLE) JULIE: Hey, baby.
Hey.
Look what I got.
Look at this! Couldn't you just die? Damn, baby, you leave anything up in the stores? You probably ran through Kiki's college fund.
Boy, please, you know she gettin' a scholarship.
- (CHARLES LAUGHS) - Plus, I had to do something with all my unexpected free time.
I'm sorry, baby.
But it just doesn't stop! The contracts, the emails, this guy's ego, that guy's torn ACL.
- Popcorn vendors.
- You need to relax.
I can't.
I can't do it.
(GRUNTS) Ya know, I just feel like I'm failin' everybody all the time.
The organization, the players, my friends and most importantly, you and Kiki.
Why would you say that? Because look at this! Is this our life now? No, I brought us out here thinkin' I was onto something, - I thought - What you thought is, you thought you were gonna finally be the boss.
You were gonna fulfill your destiny.
Remember when you were worried about down payments and GPS add-ons at the dealership? Yes.
Much simpler time.
Doesn't seem so bad now.
You were afraid to fail then, and now you're afraid to succeed.
Not havin' you and Kiki out here is really wearin' me down.
I don't know if I can keep doin' it.
It's like sometimes I feel like I'm half a man or somethin'.
Oh, Mr.
Greane.
You are a lot of things but half a man ain't one of 'em.
That's a full man.
(SQUEALS, LAUGHS) - Feel this full - (PHONE CHIMES) man of yours - (PHONE CHIMES) - go to work.
You see Andrew anywhere? JULIE: No.
He wasn't out there.
CHARLES: OK, well, that's Let's clear off this desk RADIO COMMENTATOR: another incredible class of athletes - to look at again this year.
- (PHONE CHIMING) Julian, what can I do for you? The kid's incredible.
He's once in a generation.
I made it 250 to take it off the table.
Smart move.
You won't regret it.
- J, I gotta run.
- Hey (SIREN BLEATS) (THUNDER RUMBLING) Evenin', Mr.
Strasmore.
(CHUCKLES) OK.
Is there a problem, Officer? COP: I sure hope not.
You wanna step out of the vehicle, Mr.
Strasmore? And why would I want to do that? Because we asked you so damn nice.
(POLICE DOG PANTING) (DOG BARKS) - (DOG GROWLS) - SPENCER: Oh so you think I'd bomb my own plane, huh? That's Trigger.
He's not so much on bombs, but he likes him some drugs.
By that, I mean he likes findin' 'em.
We've had a lot of problems with private flights transportin' cash and narcotics lately.
We're just gonna take a little peek in your rental before you go.
- Sure.
- (DOG BARKS, GROWLS) (CHUCKLING) I got a script for those.
That's a lot of pills for one man.
That's enough to get an elephant high.
You know, sellin' those is a felony.
No shit.
(DOOR SLAMS) (BUZZER) MAN: Mr.
Strasmore.
I hear you have some pill problems.
- Lawyer.
- That won't be necessary, Spencer.
You don't mind if I call you Spencer, do you? Who are you? My name is Jimmy Dale Pritchard, but my friends call me J.
D.
I got a script for those pills, J.
D.
Oh, I don't care about those pills.
That was just my way of gettin' the boys to be able to bring you in so that we could have a little chat.
(LAUGHS) I know it was a bit dramatic.
But we wanted to make sure that we had your undivided attention.
Who's "we"? Is this your first time in Columbus? You know, this is a beautiful city, and a great place to go to school.
You know, I met my wife on campus? Thirty-five years ago.
And we still goin' strong.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, now, you may find this hard to believe, but I used to play a little bit myself.
Yeah.
I mean, second string, of course.
But, man, did I have the spirit! You know the guy Todd that you spoke to today? - He was my freshman roommate.
- Ah.
So you're a booster.
I hate that word.
I prefer "enthusiastic supporter.
" You see, I do all of this just for the pride of it.
Now, for someone like yourself, that might be challenging.
But for some of us, well, that's enough.
(SMACKS WALL) Let me tell you something, J.
D.
I was only trying to help my girlfriend's son make some life decisions.
Maybe that's hard for you to believe, but it's the truth.
Let me tell you something else.
If I happen to piss on your Rose Parade, then you better open up a goddamn umbrella, because you sauntering in here, and this, and all this bullshit, doesn't scare me one bit.
That's good.
It doesn't scare you.
Well, I got some friends over at the NCAA that will have a field day with puttin' the fear of God in your heart.
Oh, is that right? So you gonna go Old Testament on me, J.
D.
? The kid stays a Buckeye everything goes back to normal, and life is good for everyone.
And if not, we're comin' for you and everything you got your dirty little hands in.
And believe me we know things.
That's right.
Look away.
GUARD: Open four.
J.
D.
