:10:01
So are the rest of you.
:10:03
"Sir" is a term of respect.
:10:06
And you will have my respect
until you abuse it.

:10:10
Mr. Lyle, how many games
did you guys win last season?

:10:14
Like four wins, 22 losses.
:10:17
- Sir.
- Sir.

:10:21
I'm going to give you contracts.
:10:25
If you sign and honor
your side of them,

:10:29
we are going to be successful.
:10:32
Damn, do I get a signing bonus
for signing this contract?

:10:34
Yes, sir.
You get to become a winner.

:10:39
Because if there's one thing I know,
it is this:

:10:42
The losing stops now.
:10:46
Starting today, you will play
like winners, act like winners,

:10:49
and most importantly,
you will be winners.

:10:53
If you listen and learn,
you'll win basketball games.

:10:57
And, gentlemen, winning in here...
:11:00
...is the key to winning out there.
:11:03
This contract states that you will
maintain a 2.3 grade point average.

:11:07
You will attend all your classes
:11:09
and you will sit in the front row
of those classes.

:11:12
- Yo, this a country-ass nigga, dog.
- Excuse me.

:11:15
- Did you say something, sir?
- Worm was wondering,

:11:18
are you some country church nigga,
with your tie on and all that?

:11:21
- Right.
- That's what you wanna say, right?

:11:22
And what is your name, sir?
:11:24
I'm Timo Cruz, sir.
:11:26
Well, Mr. Cruz and Mr. Worm,
:11:30
what you should both know
is we treat ourselves with respect.

:11:35
We don't use the word "nigga. "
:11:36
Are you some preacher man
or some shit?

:11:38
Because God ain't gonna do you
no good in this neighborhood.

:11:40
- I live in this neighborhood, sir.
- Sir.

:11:43
Can you believe
this uppity Negro, sir?

:11:47
Okay, Mr. Cruz...
:11:49
...leave the gym right now.
- For what?

:11:52
I'll ask you one last time
to leave the gym

:11:56
- before I help you leave.
- Before you what?
