The Final Play

[laid-back hip-hop music playing]

Well, ladies and gentlemen,

fresh off the press,

Breylon McNeil is officially retiring

-from the game of basketball. -

I mean, after a long 15-year career,

Breylon McNeil is hanging up the sneakers.

I didn't see this coming,

but it's safe to say, he's traveled the globe,

playing the game that we all love.

Listen, we know this brother's had

his share of fun,

and I'm talking on and off the court, okay?

But in all seriousness, Breylon, congratulations on retirement.

You have definitely earned it.

So, many people are wondering,

"What's next for Mr. McNeil?"

We wish him well on his next journey.

Job well done.

- Daddy! - Ah!

- Daddy! - Hey!

I missed you two.

- -

Day was good? Y'all have a good day?

- Yeah. - Yeah? Where's Mommy?

She's there. Mommy.

Welcome home, my love.

- -

Yo.

Man, get your ass up.

I'm up. I'm up, man.

No, no, no. Don't be late, like always.

Despite what your goofy ass think,

I plan to be on time today.

Man, yeah, whatever.

-I put a note on it this time. - Bet it.

- Yeah, aight. -

- - Oh, Jesus.

Hey, it's time to go.

-Hey, it's time to go. - Hmm.

No breakfast?

Waffle house is up the street. It's my treat.

- I'm vegan. -Slutty Vegan.

- Excuse me? -You know... you know, it's a...

Never mind.

- -

-Thanks for last night. -

Car's outside.

I had a great time.

Oh? You're right.

-Morning breath. -Covid.

Oh, okay, um... All right.

So, Breylon McNeil,

how has life after retirement been?

"After retirement"?

What's next? Oh, I know, OnlyFans.

I'll keep that in mind.

All the celebrities are doing it.

- Thank you. -I might subscribe.

Uh. Maybe, maybe.

-Maybe, maybe. -Maybe I could star in it.

-Maybe. - Maybe?

-OnlyFans? This bitch is crazy. -

Shit!

[upbeat hip-hop music playing over record player]

Mm-hmm. And I hope you got that hundred with you.

Come on in.

Man, to hell with y'all.

-Ain't trying to hear all that. -Believe that.

I'll send my Cash App.

- - Yeah, motherfucker.

Man, it's been a minute fellas.

Man, what you talking about?

Man, dealing with retirement,

-settling into Atlanta. - Hmm.

-How y'all fools been? -You know me, man.

Running that barbershop,

and running through them bitches.

- -

- Hair and hoes, huh? -You know it.

- -Wouldn't have it no other way.

Cory, how are the wife and kids, man?

Everybody great.

I mean, they drive me crazy, of course.

But I love every second of this shit, so...

-Ah, gives me hope. -

Hope for what, fool?

Yeah, 'cause you're not about this life.

Your ass for the streets.

Hey, man, you can't be in the streets forever.

Besides, streets are how you look like this.

- - This?

Hey, man. But seriously though, man.

What you gonna do, man?

I know it can be tough giving up the game.

-Nah, man. I'm good with that. -So, what's next?

Listen, I got a few contacts at GSU,

if you ever consider coaching.

Nah, man, I ain't ready to do that just yet.

So...?

I don't know. I keep having the same dream.

I pull up to this suburban house,

I get out the car, and I'm embraced by two kids,

a boy and a girl.

We walk to the door,

a woman opens the door and...

...I can't see her face.

All I hear is, "Welcome home, my love," and--

That's weird right?

But you know the only thing that's weird about that?

-Why doesn't shorty have a face? -

Like, why is it she just at the shoulders?

Like, what happened to her head?

Yo.

Yeah, like, bro, honestly think about it.

Was she in a accident or something?

You not telling us the whole dream,

and you mad at me?

Mm-hmm. M'kay, I guess I'm out.

- - Enjoy it.

May I have some lemons please? Thanks.

I can't believe I let y'all drag me out here.

Renee, we do have a table read in the morning.

You know that right?

Work, work, work. Girl, we are celebrating.

-Yeah. -Bitch, you are finally single.

You need to be open to all possibilities, like me.

Mm, trust, girl, we know.

- - Shady.

Fuck these niggas, okay?

Renee, can we have one chill-ass evening?

Ava, I'm just trying to help a friend

get over somebody who was broke...

-Okay. -...and wasted her time.

No, no, no, no. He wasn't broke.

He was pursuing his art full time.

There's a big difference.

-Broke. - A big difference.

-Moving back there? -Word.

What can I get for you gentleman?

Ah, man.
