"Judah Had 4 Brothers And A Dad Named Matthias, Right?" "My Bad Boys Ready To Rumble?" "Yeah, In A Sec." "First, Though, We Have A Couple Of Questions," "Like, What's Your Dad's Name?" "Mr. Carr To You." "What's This About?" "Well, If You're Gonna Be Our Coach," "Don't We Have The Right To Know Something About You?" "Ok." "They Called Him Skip." "Ha Ha!" "But His Real Name Was Matthew." "Close Enough." "How Many Brothers Do You Have?" "3." "There Was A Fourth." "Policeman, D.C., But He Was Killed 10 Years Ago." "Ok, Then." "You Know, I'm Sorry About Your Brother, Man." "Here's An Extra 10" "If I Never Have To Hear 17-55 Again." "Thanks For Reminding Me." "Yo!" "17-55!" "Come On." "Do It." "No, No." "From End To End." "Hey, Schlots, Who's Chasing You?" "We're Over Here." "Good One, Tyler." "See You In The Tourney." "First Round, Anyway." "[Blows Whistle]" "Schlots, Did I Tell You To Stop?" "Let's Get Out Of Here."

"Look, I'm Sorry, But I've Gotta Practice For The Tourney." "And I've Gotta Get You Ready For Life." "[Sighs]" "Thanks, Mom." "You're The Greatest." "Your Parents Will Freak." "They Gave You This Card For Your Bar Mitzvah." "What Is The Point Of Selling It To Pay For Lamont" "When You're Not Even Gonna Be There?" "This Way The Other Guys Can Still Practice." "Believe Me, They Need It If We're Gonna Win That Tournament." "I Can't Do It All On My Own." "Really?" "And When Did That Change?" "Julie, All You Ever Talk About Is Basketball," "You Come To All My Games," "But You Still Don't Understand What The Games Mean To Me." "You Know What I Understand?"

"Your Rings, Your Valves Are Shot." "Gotta Figure 300 To Get It Back On The Road." "500 If You Want It Done Right." "When You Decide, Give Me A Call." "Hey, Coach." "I Got Your Money." "Sorry, Schlots, Deal's Off." "What's Wrong?" "I Just Can't Help You Anymore." "My Van Went Bust On Me." "I Gotta Come Up With Some Serious Cash." "We'll Pay You Double." "No." "No, No, I Can't Do That To You Guys." "Come On." "You Need The Money," "And With Less Than 2 Weeks Till The Tourney," "We Definitely Need The Practice." "Here." "I Can Give You The Rest Later." "I Appreciate This." "There's, Uh, There's Just One More Thing." "Why Am I Not Surprised?" "Um, Well, You Know, You Love Basketball." "I Love Basketball." "But The Other Guys Are Starting To Hate It." "And If You Could Ease Up A Little" "I Mean, Not Much." "We Definitely Still Want, You Know," "We Want To Win The Tourney," "But Try And Help Them Love The Game, Too." "Hey, Lamont." "My Dogs." "Ok, Now That Is It." "First You Try To Kill Us, Now You're Calling Us Names." "Chill." "Chill." "Dogs Is An Expression Like..." "My Brother, My Man." "It's Basketball Talk For Cool." "Oh."

"So, Did You, Like, Feel Good Karma?" "Mojo, Mom." "Nobody Under 50 Says Karma." "Ah." "Mojo." "Good Night, Mom." "Book's Upside-Down, Dear." "Hey, Stick, How Much Money We Got So Far?"

"Dr. Schlotsky Would Like To Have A Word With You." "Am I In Trouble?" "I Certainly Hope So." "Alex:" "I Was Just Doing What You Told Me To." "Rabbi Lewis:" "Odd." "I Don't Recall Suggesting" "That You Con Julie, Lie To Your Parents," "And Hustle Strangers For Money." "Well, Maybe Not Exactly." "Huh?" "Ok, Maybe Not At All." "I Believe We Were Talking About Judah Maccabee." "Yeah." "And If We Wanted To Win," "We Would Need A Great Leader Like Judah." "And Then Lamont Carr Shows Up At Our Very Park." "It Was Like It Was Meant To Be." "Now Mom Says We Can't Be Coached By Some Stranger Anymore." "Well, I Think Your Mother Has A Point." "Yeah, But Doesn't The Torah Say That" "We Should Invite The Stranger In And Love Him As Ourselves," "Because We Were Once Strangers In The Land Of Egypt?" "You're Absolutely Right."

"At Least, Not One That Could Be Understood By Human Logic." "I Guess It's Like My Mama Used To Say," "If You Understood Everything God Did, You'd Be God." "I Like That." "So, What Was Your Major At Virginia?" "Exercise Physiology." "Alex Says You're A Natural Coach." "I Mean, The Team Is On Fire." "Yeah." "Way Better Since Lamont Started Coaching Us." "Of Course, They Started So Bad," "They Only Had One Direction To Go, Which Is Up." "Whether Or Not Mr. Carr Is Qualified To Coach Is Not The Issue." "Parents Are Concerned That A Total Stranger" "Is Tutoring Their Children At A Public Playground." "I Can Show Him Around." "I'll Introduce Him To All The Parents." "The Point Is, Alex, School Activities" "Should Not Take Place Out On The Street." "Your Mother's Right, Alex." "She's Absolutely Right." "And That's Why I Propose" "That You Do Your Coaching At The Gym In The Yeshiva." "Um..." "You Do Know I'm Not Jewish?" "I Had Suspected That, Yes." "But I Do Remember The Commercial For Feldman's Family Grocer." "♪ So Come On Over ♪" "♪ Even If You're Not Kosher ♪" "♪ So Come O-- ♪" "Loved Feldman's." "Hated The Commercial."

"No, No, There's A Solution." "We Keep This Temporary, On A Day-To-Day Basis." "Certainly, No One Can Have Any Objections To That." "Mrs. Schlotsky:" "I Can't Believe You Agree With The Rabbi." "So Lamont Moves Practice From The Park To School." "What's The Harm?" "The Harm Is Alex Won't Concentrate On School." "His Studies'll Go Out The Window." "He'll Have Great Ball-Bouncing Skills" "And No Chance At A Good University." "By The Time He Figures Out What He Really Wants To Do With His Life," "It'll Be Too Late." "When Did You Know You Wanted To Be A Doctor?" "When I Was 10." "And Your Dream Came True." "Why Don't You Want The Same Thing For Alex?" "It's Not The Same Thing, Marshall."
