Ken Reeves
- Ken Reeves: There's something I wanna talk to you about...
- Jim Willis: I already know. Forrester called me when he got into town. I knew before you did.
- Ken Reeves: Well, there's nothing definite. I still have to try out.
- Jim Willis: When will you know?
- Ken Reeves: This weekend.
- [awkward pause, Reeves notices Jim is not pleased]
- Ken Reeves: Well, whaddya think?
- Jim Willis: I think you're a damn fool!
- Ken Reeves: Don't feel you have to tread lightly or anything...
- Jim Willis: You're 35 years old, Ken!
- Ken Reeves: You're kidding!
- Jim Willis: You know, I just never figured you to be so greedy.
- Ken Reeves: Whaddya mean, greedy?
- Jim Willis: You had good years. Couldn't settle for that. You know, you're like some punch-drunk fighter with a bell in his head instead of a brain!
- Ken Reeves: Look, I know I'm no Julius Erving...
- Jim Willis: Julius Erving, hell! You're not even Kenny Reeves anymore!
- Ken Reeves: I really appreciate your support, Willis.
- Jim Willis: Look, would I be a friend if I encouraged you to make a spectacle of yourself? You're gonna be subbing for some kid who was in fifth grade when you first turned pro. And now you're gonna be carrying his bags?
- [pause]
- Jim Willis: This isn't easy for you.
- Ken Reeves: Well, I wish it was.
- Jim Willis: Well, remember... them that can do, learn... and them that can't do, teach!
- Ken Reeves: And them that can't do or teach, administrate!
- Jim Willis: [laughs] Guess I had that coming.
- Ken Reeves: I gotta try, Jim.
