I'm looking for Bulls to cover the spread.
Conor, Duffy is here. You better have the money
I got it. I will have it. What is the score?
You are to Duffy at least five grand. Who gave you an account?
I put six grand with Barber to get me even.
Chicago is down four.
I arrived in Chicago at eight o'clock. Less than a minute to go.
Wait a minute! Just wait
You are not sure of Barber with my money, are you, O'Neill You are not stupid Shut up, Duffy. Within 18 seconds, You will have your money.
Oh, and he succeeded hammered, and it happened!
Dirt!

Funny rotten. He shot him first.
- That's bullshit! - If he makes all three, you're fucked.
Take him
Release me
I'm first, O'Neill! You always pay me first
You want to kick my ass Nobody can kick my butt better than me.
Hey, Conor, this is Ticky!
This is Ticky. It's Ticky!

Ticky. Thanks God. I really need that money.
How much did you get for the ticket?
Jesus! Hey, O'Neill. Remember me?
He grips me outside the United Center.
Yes, you are Barber's son. Yes.
O'Neill, do you even remember making it? phone call from Michael Pistone's wedding?
Release me You talk to me You say, "This is O'Neill, number 55. What's my limit?"
So I check 55, and I see you have six grand.
So you put the top six above Milwaukee, and, of course, they're tanks.
So now I have to ask my parents about O'Neill at 55, and guess what he said to me.
He told me that person died four months ago.
Look, tell Barber... You bet six in the account of your dead father.
I need money now too! Here, I will give everything I have.
Alright. That's the beginning.
Relax. Mm-hmm.
Forty seven dollars.
Okay, you owe 6,600.
You pay me grand a week until I say stop

Excuse me. I'm Conor O'Neill. I got 11:30 with James Fleming.
Can you lend me... 12 grand?
- What, do you need to bury your father again? - What?
Did you dig the person or something?
What are you, freakin 'sick I'm sick?
Four months ago You came here crying...
about how you need $ 5,000 to bury your parents I talked to Mahoney at Mikey's wedding.
It seems that he also gave you 5,000 to bury the person. And I'll pay Mahoney back.
I don't care how much you owe Mahoney
Listen, Jimmy, I really woke up against that now with Duffy...
And I really don't care how much you owe the cardinal.

You know, I think reading is great for kids.
Do you work for Smyth and Stevens Securities? Yes.
- What agreement did you blow? - What?

My colleague, James Fleming, was in New York for three weeks,
So I, uh... I volunteered to help.
I... I will be loved to train the team.
I'm away from business... Canada...
Today Mr. Smyth and Mr. Stevens chose the team, and...
Canada. Would have been nice.
Fun.
I'm in business, uh part all the time Mm-hmm.
Well, I think it's amazing that you teach these kids to play baseball.
I just think it's embarrassing for anyone to spend time helping them read.
Listen, I'm Conor.
Elizabeth.
I only helped with the team for two weeks,
but I am willing to be with with you and help the boy come out
Why don't we exchange numbers? I have a better idea. Why don't I give you...
copy of the book that boys should have to read, and you can read it.
Then you can talk with Kofi and Raymont about their reports.
God. That will be great.
Conor O'Neill, a cracked baby trainer.
I can't train that team. I have to get out. I'm serious. I'm bailin 'out
What about the nuns? God, she's beautiful.

Listen, I gave them your name because I can't take you
What?
Are you telling me that there is a jag-off Goombah will come and break my thumb?
Duffy, I'm desperate.
I'm training kids' baseball team in the project...
for men who pay me 500 a week.
But I pay Barber. What should I do?
Should I tell the Trimmer to retreat? Should I start paying you every week?
Keep payin 'the barber,
but don't get here unless you get the money ♪ Have you ever been, forever? in your whole life ♪

- Please, take my house number - You can't keep their boys out there after dark.
Thank you Jesus for Jefferson's strength.
That smell That might be a law suit.
Look at you. You don't even see like you holding it together.
Jefferson, forgive me I should practice, You know, when it's dark.
I just came because, uh,

"Four Spanish men with hiking Boots have surrounded me.
" I know they are banditos because they laugh and they call me 'hombre'.
"I turned and hit the biggest one. I punched him in the stomach.
" And when he fell, he grabbed my backpack
"I said, 'Stop, you banditos! Want to hit someone else.'
" But because they are Spanish, they don't understand me
"Two more jumped over me, and I hit it from them on it..." Between his legs.
"My mouth hit his head, and that Where did I get my fat lips. Over."
So where did you get your fat ass?
Andre, that's enough. That is very good, Jefferson
The use of first-person narration is very good. I'm afraid of banditos.
That's good. Okay, sit down.
- Miss Wilkes. - Mr. O'Neill. Fresh from the office
Yo, Coach Why don't you invite your pants? Get down to your shoes so they can party?
Everyone, this is Mr. O'Neill,
who coached the baseball team several young people we played on.
He took the time from him busy day to give us a hand.
So give him your attention Wrinkles Time is an important book.
I like it very much.
I just said it's not like that.
Fantasy is not reality. I like to read real things
Give me an example. Michael Jordan's book
- good book, man - good choice
A strong piece of literature, a good reading
- Yeah. - That's a biography. That's the true story of his life.
This is fiction. Story created.
This is intended to entertain you and make you think
Kofi, you have been silent all this time. What you said earlier is that you don't like it.
That's right.
Now, if you can't say more, I will have it to assume that you don't really read it,
and your mother will want me to call her
- Did you read the book? - Yeah.
- tell me something about it - That's booty
Good. I will call your mother tonight.
Meg's girl is stupid.
He thinks his father is back from anywhere
It's stupid to be trusted.
The girl and her mother are both trippin '.
Because where it came from, don't have a father coming back
Come on here, here!
Yo, let's do this I'm ready to defeat them!
Come on! Faster!
Maybe this year you can play double play. Get uniform, coach,
and... your check
