Any Day

What are you doing? When you're a pro, you can't do that!

One-two. One-two.

One-two-three.

One-two-three.

Nice.

One. One. One-two. One-two.

One-two. One-two-three.

Hey, Troy.

Troy!

- Doc ain't here no more, man. - Where is he?

Died about three months ago.

One-two. One-two.

Oh, man. I didn't know.

I was inside. What happened to him?

Well, I'm running the place now. That's how it is.

Well, what happened to him?

Cancer.

Look, man, all the stuff that went down with you...

...and you just getting out of prison, I can't have you up in here, man.

- Know what I'm saying? - Hey, come on, man.

No, you come on, sucker! This is how it is.

Man, I really need this. It's all I've got.

You look past your prime age.

My man, all I want to do is train.

Yeah. If Doc was here, he'd let me train.

Doc ain't here.

No.

No, he sure isn't.

Let's go! One-two.

One-two. One-two. One-two-three.

One-two-three.

One-two-three.

- What do you want? - It's good to see you, too.

Yeah, well, there's nothing for you here.

I need a place to stay.

Just for a couple of weeks.

I can't do it, Vian.

I just can't.

With everything that's happened, I'm sorry.

It's just for a few weeks.

I won't be long.

They left the house to me, you know.

It's in my name.

Hi!

Hi.

Jimmy, this is... this is your Uncle Vian.

Hello. Are you coming in?

No, no, no. He was just...

- He's just coming by to say hi. - Okay.

Mom, I think he wanted to come in.

Don't you have some homework that you should be doing?

I already did it.

Vian!

Thank you, God, for this food we are about to receive.

- Amen. - Amen.

Here, sweetie.

That's a really good meatloaf.

You can stay here for two weeks. If you drink, you have to leave.

I haven't had a drink for 12 years.

Since I went in.

That's good. Glad to hear that.

It's too bad it took what it did for you to get that.

Thanks.

Brought you a sleeping bag.

Thanks.

So, I've got some work to catch up on...

- Sure. - See you in a bit.

Hey, Uncle Vian.

- Hi, Jimmy. - I looked you up on the Internet.

Yeah?

Yeah. It said that your record was 2 and 7 as a pro.

Yup.

Are you still going to fight, now that you're out of prison?

I don't know.

I think you'd do really good, Uncle Vi.

Thanks, Jimmy.

I'm gonna go back to reading my book.

- You like to read? - Yeah. Yeah, sometimes.

- Okay. Good night. - Yeah, good night.

How many push-ups is that?

- A lot. - Well, how many is that?

300.

Is it true what my dad said about you?

- What did he say? - That you were a pimp and a pusher.

I did sell drugs once...

...but I was never a pimp.

Is it true that you killed a man?

Yeah.

What happened?

I don't want to talk about it.

- Hey. - Oh, hi.

Hi. I was... I was told to see you about work.

Okay. Have you been to prison?

- Yeah. - Okay, yeah. Look, man.

I'm really sorry. We can't hire ex-cons. It's...

- Sure. - It's an insurance issue.

- Yeah, I know. - I'm really...

- No. - Okay. I'm sorry.

Don't stop running. You want to kick?

Just trust the ball will be there.

But I have to stop before I catch it.

Just keep running. When you turn right...

...trust that the ball will be there in the pocket.

What? Want me to catch it for you?

Shut up. Hike it again.

And you should go left.

Look, just keep running? Keep running. Okay, hike.

You want me to throw for you?

Very funny. Give me the ball.

And... hike!

Touchdown!

- Hey! - Good catch!

That was a great catch!

And...

What's wrong?

Having a hard time with money, that's all. It's hard...

...being a single mom.

Hey, sorry.

It's okay.

I know that God...

...will provide.

Yeah, and I'm gonna win the lottery.

You're pitiful.

You know that? Pitiful.

Alright, sweetie. I'm gonna go to the market.

Can I come, too?

Yeah? You wanna?

Can Uncle Vi come?

- Sure. - Well, thanks.

I didn't mean what I said about the lottery.

Thanks.

Mom, can we make chocolate chip cookies?

- Sure, baby. - Yes.

Okay, let's see.

Why don't you guys go ahead and get some...

...lettuce, tomatoes and gala apple.

Here, use these. They might be on sale.

Okay, Mom.

Throw for a pass.

Yeah.

Come here.

Go for a touchdown.

- Hey. - Touchdown!

Is that your son?

That's my sister's kid.

Great example, throwing fruit around in the market.

Well, I haven't seen him in a long time, and...

Hey, my name's Vian.

- Hi. - Hi. What's your name?

Jolene.

Jolene.

Uncle Vi, are you trying to pick her up?

Yeah, Jimmy, I am.

Cool. I'm gonna go find Mom.

I... hey, you...

...you want to see a movie some time, or...

...get a coffee, maybe meet in a park, take a walk?

What are you, in high school?

Come on. Why don't you give me your number?

Why don't you give me yours?

Hey.

The man should always call.

Well, I don't give my number to strange men.

Hey, my act's strange?

Well, you were playing catch with an apple in the supermarket.

- Hey, come on. Let me give you a call. - Nice to meet you, Vian.

Okay, sure. See ya.

Did you get her phone number?

No.

You gotta get back into practice and get the scent back on you.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Could I ask you something?

What star sign are you?

- Are you serious? - No, I... I want to know.

Okay, I'll give you three guesses.

Okay... Capricorn?

- Nope. - Libra?

- Please. - Taurus.

- Nope. That's your three chances. - Hey, Cancer. You're a Cancer.

Wrong again.

What star... what are sign are you?

- Does it matter? - No, no. I just... you're a Gemini.

- God, no. - No? What other signs are there?

- Well, you tell me, Mr. Astrology. - Well, I'm not...

I don't know nothing about signs.

- Then why are you asking me? - Because I thought it was a good line.

You know? I'm so stupid. If I wasn't stupid...

...maybe if I had guessed at the first guess, then you would've been impressed by me.

Look, can I have your phone number, miss?

- No. - No? Okay.

- Move! - Okay!

Come on! Is this what it's going to be like...

...you hitting on girls wherever we are?

- Mom, can I get these? - No. Put that back, please.

I've been locked up for 12 years. What do you expect?

I expect you not to use my kid as bait.

I was helping him out with my own volition.

What? Yeah? Well, I don't like it.

Give me a break, Mom.
