00:00:55.722 --> 00:00:57.473
I'll take that. Thank you.

00:00:58.141 --> 00:01:01.060
[man] Where I grew up,
<i>Louisiana, Cedar Grove...</i>

00:01:01.144 --> 00:01:06.065
<i>tennis was not a game peoples played.</i>
<i>We was too busy running from the Klan.</i>

00:01:06.858 --> 00:01:10.695
<i>But here it is, when I'm interested</i>
<i>in a thing, I learn it.</i>

00:01:10.779 --> 00:01:14.156
<i>How it works,</i>
<i>how the best peoples in the world do it.</i>

00:01:14.241 --> 00:01:17.201
<i>And that's what I did with tennis,</i>
<i>with the girls.</i>

00:01:17.286 --> 00:01:19.138
[instructor, on tape]
<i>If you look at the biggest servers;</i>

00:01:19.162 --> 00:01:22.999
<i>Sampras, Lendl, Connors,</i>
<i>you'll see the break of their wrists</i>

00:01:23.083 --> 00:01:25.626
<i>is like a smack, like a high-five.</i>

00:01:25.711 --> 00:01:28.045
<i>That's what you're looking for</i>
<i>when you hit it.</i>

00:01:28.130 --> 00:01:29.213
<i>That "pop."</i>

00:01:29.298 --> 00:01:34.594
All we need is a club...
for training, and clinics, the whole deal.

00:01:34.678 --> 00:01:38.681
Everything the girls need
to go from prodigy to pro.

00:01:38.765 --> 00:01:41.809
I wrote me a 78-page plan
for their whole career

00:01:41.893 --> 00:01:43.185
before they was even born.

00:01:43.270 --> 00:01:44.895
[chuckling]

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:48.274
It was 1977,
I had watched this tennis match...

00:01:48.358 --> 00:01:50.526
and, uh, I seen them get this girl,
Virginia Ruzici,

00:01:50.611 --> 00:01:53.195
$40,000 for four days' work.

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.282
And since I knew
I had only made $52,000 all year,

00:01:56.366 --> 00:01:58.534
I knew I was in the wrong business.

00:01:58.619 --> 00:02:02.663
Went home that night, told the wife,
"We need to make two more kids."

00:02:03.457 --> 00:02:07.793
So that night I wrote up the plan.
One for Venus, one for Serena.

00:02:07.878 --> 00:02:10.546
-All right. Step in a little bit more.
-Cover their whole tennis...

00:02:10.631 --> 00:02:14.091
Cover their education,
foreign languages, everything.

00:02:14.176 --> 00:02:15.945
-And now that plan say...
-All right, shorten it up.

00:02:15.969 --> 00:02:20.222
...it's time for us to come see you
to help turn them into champions.

00:02:20.307 --> 00:02:22.892
Now, I know what you thinking,

00:02:22.976 --> 00:02:26.771
"This family is from the ghetto.
How they gonna pay old me?"

00:02:27.397 --> 00:02:29.815
Well, don't you worry about that.
We're not here to rob ya.

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:31.317
We here to make you rich.

00:02:31.401 --> 00:02:33.277
You ever think about basketball?

00:02:35.989 --> 00:02:37.531
Best of luck to you, I...

00:02:37.616 --> 00:02:39.636
Okay, you making a mistake,
but I'm gonna let you make it.

00:02:39.660 --> 00:02:41.410
-[laughing] Okay.
-All right.

00:02:41.495 --> 00:02:43.788
-Them pants look expensive.
-Oh, they are.

00:02:43.872 --> 00:02:45.998
[man 2] If I had a dollar
for every crazy parent

00:02:46.083 --> 00:02:48.542
that told me their kid
would make it to number one,

00:02:48.627 --> 00:02:50.169
well, I'd be a rich man.

00:02:51.213 --> 00:02:54.757
-You look pretty rich to me.
-Well, there you go.

00:02:57.386 --> 00:02:59.387
You need to open
your stance up a little more.

00:02:59.471 --> 00:03:00.888
Your stance too closed.

00:03:00.972 --> 00:03:03.265
[indistinct chatter]

00:03:08.647 --> 00:03:12.316
[indistinct chatter]

00:03:23.745 --> 00:03:25.390
Serena, those books
are bigger than you are.

00:03:25.414 --> 00:03:27.665
No, they're not. I can do it.
I can carry more than you.

00:03:27.749 --> 00:03:30.000
-And break your back while you're at it?
-Wanna bet?

00:03:30.085 --> 00:03:31.961
-Serena!
-[both laughing]

00:03:33.213 --> 00:03:35.631
[exclaims] Phone book!

00:03:37.926 --> 00:03:39.009
Phone book.

00:03:41.138 --> 00:03:42.596
Phone book!

00:03:43.598 --> 00:03:45.307
[giggles] Phone book.

00:03:46.685 --> 00:03:48.436
-[Serena] Phone book!
-Girls.

00:03:49.020 --> 00:03:50.229
[girl laughing] Hey.

00:03:50.313 --> 00:03:51.480
-Told you I'd win.
-You cheat.

00:03:51.565 --> 00:03:54.024
-Hi, Mrs. Strickland.
-Thank you.

00:03:54.109 --> 00:03:56.986
Now, you need to go tell your father
to stop working you so hard.

00:03:57.070 --> 00:04:01.532
I seen y'all practicing in the rain.
The man is crazy.

00:04:02.492 --> 00:04:05.202
Girls. Y'all go ahead back in the house.

00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:08.622
Tell your sisters we leaving
in a few minutes.

00:04:08.707 --> 00:04:10.750
We'll deliver
the rest of them books later.

00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.629
I ain't gonna tell you again,
do not talk to them kids.

00:04:15.714 --> 00:04:19.049
Excuse me.
They came onto my lawn.

00:04:19.134 --> 00:04:21.677
And somebody has gotta,
as hard as you're working 'em.

00:04:21.762 --> 00:04:25.806
They work as hard as they need to
to stay off these streets.

00:04:25.891 --> 00:04:28.809
-I'm in the champion-raising business.
-[snickers]

00:04:28.894 --> 00:04:30.853
I got a book about it
about to come out soon.

00:04:30.937 --> 00:04:33.272
Maybe I give a copy to your daughter.

00:04:33.356 --> 00:04:36.108
-Remind me which corner she working on?
-Get off my property.

00:04:36.193 --> 00:04:38.171
-Richard, leave that nosy woman alone.
-Yeah, just stop talking to my kids.

00:04:38.195 --> 00:04:40.548
Got your little booty-hugging shorts.
You need some bigger shorts!

00:04:40.572 --> 00:04:42.332
[woman] You know,
she just wanna rile you up.

00:04:42.657 --> 00:04:44.283
-I gotta get to work.
-All right.

00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:46.535
I think you riling me up

00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:48.454
-with them little nurse shoes on.
-[laughing]

00:04:48.997 --> 00:04:51.499
-I love them little nurse shoes.
-Get these girls to practice.

00:04:51.583 --> 00:04:54.376
-All right. Have a good day.
-You, too.

00:04:54.795 --> 00:04:55.980
[girl 2] Yes, I have my homework.

00:04:56.004 --> 00:04:58.172
Keep turning those hips
if you wanna get that power.

00:04:58.256 --> 00:04:59.507
[girls] Bye, Mom.

00:04:59.591 --> 00:05:01.342
-Tunde, dang, you're a nerd.
-Stop.

00:05:01.426 --> 00:05:03.052
Why you doing homework on a Saturday?

00:05:03.136 --> 00:05:06.764
Because I am trying to get an A.
You should try it with your B-plus.

00:05:06.848 --> 00:05:08.474
[laughter]

00:05:08.558 --> 00:05:10.226
Where are we practicing today, Daddy?

00:05:10.310 --> 00:05:13.020
-[Serena] Yeah, where are we practicing?
-At the club.

00:05:13.104 --> 00:05:15.523
And Serena,
stop saying everything Venus say.

00:05:15.607 --> 00:05:17.483
Hope they don't steal our balls again.

00:05:17.567 --> 00:05:20.402
Lyn, you probably told 'em to do it
so we wouldn't have to practice.

00:05:21.112 --> 00:05:23.280
[Richard] We got us a van full of balls.

00:05:23.365 --> 00:05:26.325
And you don't need to be worrying about
what other folks is doing anyway.

00:05:26.409 --> 00:05:27.845
You need to worry about what you doing.

00:05:27.869 --> 00:05:31.080
We out here getting great,
that's what we need to be worrying about.

00:05:31.164 --> 00:05:32.373
You understand that?

00:05:32.457 --> 00:05:35.209
-[all] Yes, Daddy, we do.
-All right.

00:05:35.836 --> 00:05:37.127
-Oh.
-[honking horn]

00:05:37.212 --> 00:05:41.674
-Say hi to the peoples that's gone.
-Hi to the people that's gone.

00:05:49.599 --> 00:05:51.600

00:05:53.854 --> 00:05:58.107
-Okay, who ready to work?
-[Serena] We're ready to work!

00:06:03.947 --> 00:06:05.907
-[Richard] Say again?
-[girls] We're ready, Daddy.

00:06:05.991 --> 00:06:09.076
[Richard] All right, all right.
That's what I like to hear.

00:06:22.883 --> 00:06:25.885
Stay up on your toes.
You're making too much noise.

00:06:28.638 --> 00:06:32.182
King Richard,
don't get much rest ever, do you?

00:06:32.267 --> 00:06:35.019
Don't nothing come
to a sleeper but a dream.

00:06:37.022 --> 00:06:38.791
-[Lyn giggling]
-[Tunde] Are you ready to be dropped?

00:06:38.815 --> 00:06:39.982
'Cause I will drop you.

00:06:41.526 --> 00:06:42.693
[girls squealing]

00:06:43.236 --> 00:06:45.029
Oh, no, watch out. Watch out.

00:06:46.197 --> 00:06:47.323
There you go.

00:06:47.407 --> 00:06:49.927
Keep that wrist like the smack.
It's like with the "pop" on top.

00:06:49.951 --> 00:06:51.827
[both grunting]

00:06:51.912 --> 00:06:54.232
[Richard] Throw it to the sky.
Get this one over the fence.

00:06:54.289 --> 00:06:55.873
I like that. Yeah, that's it.

00:06:56.583 --> 00:06:58.000
[grunts]

00:06:58.084 --> 00:06:59.293
[Richard] There you go!

00:06:59.377 --> 00:07:02.838
First drill. Whoever hit that, one dollar.

00:07:04.299 --> 00:07:06.926
Yes, yes, good power.

00:07:08.345 --> 00:07:11.597
-[grunts]
-Yes, there you go. There you go.

00:07:13.558 --> 00:07:15.809
Yes! Ooh, watch out, Martina.

00:07:15.894 --> 00:07:17.353
Speed that racket head up.

00:07:17.979 --> 00:07:20.439
Oh! Almost, Venus Williams!

00:07:20.523 --> 00:07:23.400
-[rap music playing on car stereo]
-Forehand.

00:07:23.485 --> 00:07:26.946
Yes, you keep that stance open or else
I'mma come down there and tickle you.

00:07:27.530 --> 00:07:29.740
-[grunts]
-Very good. Get to it. Get to it.

Don't wait for that ball, go get it. Yes.

[music stops]

00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.963
[Richard] Good depth, good depth there.

00:07:46.216 --> 00:07:47.549
Switch it backhand.

00:07:48.468 --> 00:07:51.345
Don't get too excited. This is your game.

00:07:52.222 --> 00:07:53.616
Get it all the way up
to that cotton picker.

00:07:53.640 --> 00:07:55.391
All the way up to the sky.

00:07:56.476 --> 00:07:59.019
Yes, Venus Williams. Come on in here.

00:07:59.104 --> 00:08:03.315
That's a very, very good day today.
You did good work.

00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:04.692
-Venus Williams...
-Hm?

00:08:04.776 --> 00:08:07.403
-Who is your best friend?
-You, Daddy. [laughs]

Pick your things up,

00:08:35.015 --> 00:08:36.557
[young man] Yetunde, that's your name?

Now, that girl there is only 16 years old.

We'll hit some down the line, all right?

00:31:08.116 --> 00:31:10.094
That's good, Paul.
That's how I usually start with 'em too.

00:31:10.118 --> 00:31:11.535
-That's real smart.
-[Paul] Good.

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:13.162
All right, ready?

00:31:14.456 --> 00:31:16.499
[girls grunting]

00:31:25.509 --> 00:31:27.426
[Richard] That's right.
Show him the magic.

00:31:28.053 --> 00:31:30.471
There you go.
Good power, Venus Williams.

00:31:31.473 --> 00:31:32.598
That's it.

00:31:34.309 --> 00:31:36.936
-What you think, Pete?
-[Sampras] They look good.

00:31:37.020 --> 00:31:39.772
They good. I know they good.
I know they good.

00:31:42.401 --> 00:31:46.404
Pete Sampras is looking at you.
Pete Sampras gonna steal your stuff.

00:31:47.989 --> 00:31:50.408
All right, great job, girls.

00:31:50.492 --> 00:31:53.679
Serena, why don't you go get some water?
I wanna hit with your sister for a minute.

00:31:53.703 --> 00:31:54.620
[rackets clack]

00:31:54.704 --> 00:31:56.789
Venus, you want to try something
a little different?

00:31:56.873 --> 00:31:58.707
Okay, so start in the middle.

00:31:58.792 --> 00:32:01.085
I want you to go after
every single ball, all right?

00:32:01.169 --> 00:32:02.271
I'm not gonna tell you
where they're coming.

00:32:02.295 --> 00:32:03.712
But don't stop until we're done.

00:32:03.797 --> 00:32:05.923
Oh, she do that. She'll do that.

00:32:09.136 --> 00:32:10.594
There you go.

00:32:10.679 --> 00:32:12.513
[Paul] Okay, I want you
to recover each time.

00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.517
[tennis shoes squeaking]

00:32:18.186 --> 00:32:20.354
[Richard] Get it. Show it to him.

00:32:20.939 --> 00:32:22.440
You have to show him that magic.

00:32:27.612 --> 00:32:28.696
Yes.

00:32:29.281 --> 00:32:31.740
There you go. There you go.

00:32:32.242 --> 00:32:35.119
-Get it. All right.
-Okay.

00:32:35.996 --> 00:32:38.122
Girls, come here and talk to me
for a second.

00:32:38.206 --> 00:32:39.832
Hustle, hustle, hustle.

00:32:41.668 --> 00:32:43.502
[Paul] Let me ask you both something.

00:32:44.588 --> 00:32:45.796
What do you want out of this?

00:32:46.298 --> 00:32:48.507
I know what your dad wants,
but what about you?

00:32:49.259 --> 00:32:52.928
Well, I want to win Wimbledon
as many times as anyone's ever won it.

00:32:53.013 --> 00:32:55.014
You think you can do that?

00:32:55.098 --> 00:32:56.390
I know I can.

00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:01.395
What about you?
Who on the tour do you wanna play like?

00:33:04.107 --> 00:33:06.901
Well, I'd like other people
to want to play like me.

00:33:06.985 --> 00:33:08.194
[Paul chuckles]

00:33:08.278 --> 00:33:09.695
I bet they will.

00:33:10.530 --> 00:33:12.823
All right, you girls go pick 'em up.

00:33:18.288 --> 00:33:19.830
[McEnroe] Come on, Paul, let's go.

00:33:22.709 --> 00:33:24.043
You taught 'em all this?

00:33:24.127 --> 00:33:27.588
Oh, yeah, me and my wife Brandy.
We both athletes.

00:33:28.673 --> 00:33:30.466
So, what you think?

00:33:33.803 --> 00:33:35.406
-Is this a bee you're drawing?
-Yes, it is.

00:33:35.430 --> 00:33:38.933
-You're not working on--
-I thought y'all were doing homework.

00:33:45.273 --> 00:33:47.733
[exhales] We got a coach.

00:33:47.817 --> 00:33:50.528
[all shrieking joyfully]

00:33:53.490 --> 00:33:56.450
You little fakers. You little fakers!

00:33:58.453 --> 00:34:02.331
-Pete Sampras's coach?
-Sure as hell.

00:34:02.415 --> 00:34:04.291
So he's gonna do it for free?

00:34:04.376 --> 00:34:08.045
Uh... he said he can't do two for free.

00:34:08.129 --> 00:34:09.630
What?

00:34:09.714 --> 00:34:11.257
He only gonna teach Venus.

00:34:11.341 --> 00:34:13.592
[Serena] Okay, okay,
you should have seen Venus.

00:34:13.677 --> 00:34:15.863
Pete Sampras was there and
I don't think he could beat her at all.

00:34:15.887 --> 00:34:17.388
Sampras? Okay, Venus!

00:34:17.472 --> 00:34:19.139
[Serena] We were so good.

00:34:19.224 --> 00:34:20.808
Did you tell Serena?

00:34:20.892 --> 00:34:22.560
[girls chattering quietly]

00:34:22.644 --> 00:34:23.955
[Serena] We only hit the net, like, twice.

00:34:23.979 --> 00:34:25.354
Do you want to?

00:34:25.981 --> 00:34:28.023
-Oh, Richard.
-Yeah.

00:34:28.108 --> 00:34:29.984
[all chanting] We got a coach.
We got a coach.

00:34:30.068 --> 00:34:31.610
We got a coach. We got a coach.

00:34:37.993 --> 00:34:41.078
It's not fair. I want to go with you.

00:34:41.830 --> 00:34:43.747
I know. I want you to, too.

00:34:46.001 --> 00:34:48.460
Meka, Daddy said he's
gonna record everything

00:34:48.545 --> 00:34:50.129
and then we can watch it together.

00:34:50.213 --> 00:34:51.964
He has a plan, okay?

00:34:52.549 --> 00:34:53.841
Yeah, for you.

00:34:53.925 --> 00:34:56.468
Okay, Meka, your mom ready.
Y'all gonna practice today.

00:34:57.012 --> 00:35:00.973
But Daddy, I can't practice on her court.
She always hits slices.

00:35:01.057 --> 00:35:03.517
That ain't nothing but
a few minor adjustments.

00:35:03.935 --> 00:35:07.563
You got to stay prepared
for whatever's unpredictable. Okay?

00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:10.608
Come on now, give your daddy a kiss.

00:35:10.692 --> 00:35:14.320
Don't put no mean on my face.
Come on. Daddy love you.

00:35:14.404 --> 00:35:16.697
Mm? Come on, Junior, let's go.

00:35:23.705 --> 00:35:27.833
I know you feel left out.
But you're not left out.

00:35:29.878 --> 00:35:31.795
You got something great, too.

00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:34.131
-What?
-Me.

00:35:34.924 --> 00:35:37.259
Come on, we got work to do.

00:35:37.344 --> 00:35:39.762
-Right now?
-Yeah, right now.

00:35:39.846 --> 00:35:41.513
I ain't raised no poop butts.

00:35:42.057 --> 00:35:44.767
-Mom.
-Come on. We got work to do.

00:35:44.851 --> 00:35:48.562
[Paul] Go. That's it. Back.
Center. And back.

00:35:49.522 --> 00:35:51.125
What you're going through
is the Paul Cohen

00:35:51.149 --> 00:35:52.983
first-strike strategic tennis system.

00:35:53.068 --> 00:35:54.943
It's gonna turn you into a killer.

00:35:55.028 --> 00:35:57.340
You'll learn to think
about this tennis court as a chess board

00:35:57.364 --> 00:36:00.115
made up of 228 shots.

00:36:00.200 --> 00:36:01.867
You will learn to perfect them all.

00:36:01.951 --> 00:36:03.744
Did I say stop? Go, go, go.
Again.

00:36:04.245 --> 00:36:05.829
-[Venus grunts]
-Center.

00:36:06.206 --> 00:36:08.374
[Brandy] Come on!
Up, up, up! Explode!

00:36:09.334 --> 00:36:10.668
Side!

00:36:11.878 --> 00:36:13.545
Up, up, up! Back!

00:36:14.339 --> 00:36:17.675
Side, side, side, side.
I need you to be faster, Serena.

00:36:18.551 --> 00:36:20.678
-[Venus grunts]
-[Rick] Twenty-four...

00:36:22.180 --> 00:36:23.889
Twenty-five...
Oh, halfway there. Come on.

00:36:25.016 --> 00:36:26.266
Twenty-six...

00:36:28.144 --> 00:36:31.814
Oh! Come on, back to the middle each time.
Let's get 50.

00:36:31.898 --> 00:36:33.816
Make sure you keep that stance open.

00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:35.192
[Paul] Please, Richard.

00:36:37.445 --> 00:36:40.072
-[ball hits net]
-Oh! Blame your dad.

00:36:40.573 --> 00:36:43.158
Wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop.
What are you doing?

00:36:43.243 --> 00:36:45.661
This is it. What! That's it.

00:36:48.623 --> 00:36:49.998
Trust it, trust it.

00:36:50.083 --> 00:36:53.252
-[grunts]
-Better! Yes!

00:36:53.753 --> 00:36:55.337
[hearty laugh]

00:36:56.673 --> 00:36:57.715
[Paul] Yeah.

00:36:59.426 --> 00:37:02.928
Let me see a little bit more pronation
on that wrist right at the end.

00:37:03.012 --> 00:37:04.096
You just focus right here.

00:37:04.180 --> 00:37:05.700
[lowering voice]
You know exactly what you're doing.

00:37:05.724 --> 00:37:08.350
Do you want to be the best?
You can do it. You know why?

00:37:09.060 --> 00:37:12.563
Because you're a killing machine.
You're a goddamn attack dog.

00:37:12.647 --> 00:37:13.897
So bite.

00:37:15.191 --> 00:37:16.627
Talk a little louder, Paul.
Can't hear you.

00:37:16.651 --> 00:37:19.611
-That wasn't for you, Richard.
-Trying to record though, Paul.

00:37:19.696 --> 00:37:21.530
[Paul] You can interview me later.

00:37:24.868 --> 00:37:26.702
-Yes! Yes!
-[Paul] There you go.

00:37:26.786 --> 00:37:29.246
That's what the pronation
gets you right there.

00:37:31.082 --> 00:37:32.291
Really?

00:37:34.252 --> 00:37:36.170
Yeah! Keep it up. Keep it up.

00:37:36.671 --> 00:37:39.757
That's the move. Now get back
to the middle. Get back to the middle.

00:37:39.841 --> 00:37:42.153
You never know where that ball's gonna go.
You gotta be ready.

00:37:42.177 --> 00:37:44.803
Stay low, stay low, stay low...

00:37:44.888 --> 00:37:46.346
Yeah, baby! Yes!

00:37:46.431 --> 00:37:48.432
-[Venus grunting]
-[Paul] Go!

00:37:49.309 --> 00:37:51.769
Get around it. That's it.

00:37:52.771 --> 00:37:55.606
End the point. Recover, quick!
You gotta move faster.

00:37:55.690 --> 00:37:57.460
-[Venus strikes ball]
-Hold on, Junior, Junior. Junior.

00:37:57.484 --> 00:37:59.234
Uh, Paul, one second.

00:37:59.319 --> 00:38:01.046
Look, you just got a little
closed up that time.

00:38:01.070 --> 00:38:03.382
You're doing real good.
You just gotta keep that stance open.

00:38:03.406 --> 00:38:05.718
-You plant that right foot...
-What are you doing, Richard?

00:38:05.742 --> 00:38:08.535
-That's how you get a little closed off.
-Richard, what are you doing?

00:38:09.412 --> 00:38:11.098
I'm talking to my daughter.
Is something wrong with that?

00:38:11.122 --> 00:38:12.581
No, nothing wrong with that.

00:38:12.665 --> 00:38:14.393
Except you want me
to fix her stance and I can't do that

00:38:14.417 --> 00:38:15.811
if you keep telling her to hit open.

00:38:15.835 --> 00:38:18.587
Well, Paul, ain't no reason
to fix something that's not broke.

00:38:18.671 --> 00:38:22.090
Okay? You've been hollering at the girl
all day long to get back to the middle.

00:38:22.175 --> 00:38:24.635
That's all I hear you saying.
Yet you instructing her

00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:26.113
-to close her stance.
-That's right.

00:38:26.137 --> 00:38:28.889
How can she get back to the middle
with her stance all closed up?

00:38:28.973 --> 00:38:32.267
Okay, if she stays open,
she can plant that foot.

00:38:32.352 --> 00:38:35.229
-More power, more speed.
-No! That is not how you get power.

00:38:35.313 --> 00:38:38.106
You want power in your stroke,
you square your shoulders,

00:38:38.191 --> 00:38:40.734
you close your stance,
hold your head right at contact,

00:38:40.819 --> 00:38:43.237
and blast through it.
You do not hit open stance.

00:38:43.321 --> 00:38:44.613
-Okay?
-Yep.

00:38:44.697 --> 00:38:46.801
-Can we please get back to it?
-Well, just keep your mind open, Paul.

00:38:46.825 --> 00:38:49.345
You know, just in case you not
the smartest person in the whole world.

00:38:49.369 --> 00:38:51.055
It would be really helpful
if we could actually hit a few.

00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.959
Because I got about 18 minutes left
and I'd like to finish this practice.

00:38:53.998 --> 00:38:56.041
It just don't make no sense
what you sayin', Paul.

00:38:56.125 --> 00:38:58.460
If she keep her stance closed,
feet are all jumbled up,

00:38:58.545 --> 00:39:00.045
she not gonna be able to get back.

00:39:00.129 --> 00:39:01.899
I'll get my lesson from you
when we're done, okay?

00:39:01.923 --> 00:39:04.151
-Right now, I'd like to focus on Venus.
-I keep forgetting you know everything.

00:39:04.175 --> 00:39:06.510
-17 minutes now.
-I keep forgetting that.

00:39:06.886 --> 00:39:07.886
That's it!

00:39:08.221 --> 00:39:10.581
-Okay, just as long as she hits some open.
-[Venus grunting]

00:39:15.270 --> 00:39:17.790
-Keep that stance open, Junior.
-Now, recover, recover, recover.

00:39:18.189 --> 00:39:20.232
Get around it. Get around it.
I want a forehand.

00:39:20.316 --> 00:39:23.360
I want a forehand. Get back to center.
There you go!

00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:26.154
[VCR whirring]

00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:27.656
[Paul groans softly]

00:39:27.740 --> 00:39:29.969
[woman on TV] Great serve.
<i>You know, Capriati is really...</i>

00:39:29.993 --> 00:39:31.618
Dang, that's Capriati?

00:39:31.703 --> 00:39:33.620
[Paul] Now, she's a freaking killer.

00:39:33.705 --> 00:39:37.624
Won the Junior Orange Bowl in Miami
in the US 18-and-Under when she was 12.

00:39:37.709 --> 00:39:39.042
Just went pro last year.

00:39:39.586 --> 00:39:41.628
That's her coach, Rick Macci.
He's in Florida.

00:39:41.713 --> 00:39:43.714
Not as dumb as the rest, but...

00:39:43.798 --> 00:39:46.675
She is the youngest pro ever
to be ranked in the top ten.

00:39:46.759 --> 00:39:50.637
And guess what she just did?
She just beat Steffi Graf.

00:39:50.722 --> 00:39:53.390
How do you think she learned
how to do that? Juniors.

00:39:54.142 --> 00:39:55.434
That's where the fight is.

00:39:55.518 --> 00:39:57.519
That's where you face adversity,
competition.

00:39:58.146 --> 00:39:59.813
It's also where you get noticed by agents

00:39:59.898 --> 00:40:02.251
who can help you pay for the training
and introduce you to sponsors.

00:40:02.275 --> 00:40:04.985
Capriati signed a two million dollar
contract with Diadora

00:40:05.069 --> 00:40:07.613
before she played a single pro match.

00:40:07.697 --> 00:40:09.948
How do you think that happened? Juniors.

00:40:10.033 --> 00:40:12.284
[chatter continues on TV]

00:40:12.660 --> 00:40:16.413
So what do you guys say?
Want to play Juniors?

00:40:19.751 --> 00:40:21.293
I think I can add that to the plan.

00:40:21.377 --> 00:40:22.669
[Paul and Venus laugh]

00:40:22.754 --> 00:40:24.212
We'll play some Juniors.

-[Richard] Good morning. Good morning.
-[Venus] Did you see that, Mom?

00:40:39.437 --> 00:40:43.357
It's okay. They're just not used to
seeing good-looking peoples like us.

00:40:43.441 --> 00:40:46.109
You don't worry about them.
Let them worry about you, Venus.

00:40:46.194 --> 00:40:48.570
Oh, this it. This it right here.

Okay. You just focus on that ball.
Okay?

You... are Venus Williams.

You gonna win Wimbledon.

-Okay, Daddy.
-You just go out there and have fun.

-[Serena] Were you nervous at all, V?
-Why is she nervous?

00:48:15.893 --> 00:48:19.145

and Venus still whupped her anyway.

-Yeah! [laughing]
-Yes, she did.

-[Brandy] That's right.

-I know what bragging sounds like.
-The girl won. She's just happy.

00:48:42.586 --> 00:48:45.422
Look, Junior won, the other girl lost.
Everybody did their best.

00:48:45.506 --> 00:48:47.841
And I'm not gonna hear
no more about it now.

00:48:51.303 --> 00:48:54.514
If that was that girl's best,
then she needs to practice some more.

-I'm just sayin'. Jeez.

-Give the money to Tunde.
-Stop arguing.

00:49:13.325 --> 00:49:16.494
Why they always taking the money from me?
Daddy gave it to me, not you, Tunde.

They wanna brag, let them brag
about how they walked three miles home.

00:49:37.433 --> 00:49:39.517
Richard, you can't leave
those girls like that!

00:49:39.602 --> 00:49:42.038
I done told them I didn't wanna hear
nothing about no tennis and no bragging.

00:49:42.062 --> 00:49:44.397
Stop! Stop!

00:49:45.232 --> 00:49:48.462
You can't leave them back there like that.

they can talk about dinosaurs,
they can talk about space.

00:50:03.626 --> 00:50:04.667
Space?

00:50:04.752 --> 00:50:07.587
Why is it that you gotta ruin
everybody else's day?

You don't wanna be happy so you
don't want nobody else to be happy.

00:50:10.341 --> 00:50:12.611
[Richard] This ain't about being happy.
It's about bragging.

00:50:12.635 --> 00:50:14.029
[Brandy] You don't want
nobody else to be happy

00:50:14.053 --> 00:50:15.845
so you gotta make everybody else upset.

Never, ever, met somebody

a couple of times.

Well, uh, Richard, first off,
we would just like to congratulate you

01:03:13.832 --> 01:03:17.501
on a great job you've done so far.
Quite honestly, it's incredible.

01:03:17.585 --> 01:03:19.211

-Yes.

Mary Pierce, too.

And we believe that Venus
can be bigger than both.

01:03:36.938 --> 01:03:38.939
I'm sorry, you, uh...

01:03:39.691 --> 01:03:42.443
You said two times already.
You said it's incredible.

01:03:43.028 --> 01:03:46.947
-Yeah.
-And why is what we did so incredible?

01:03:47.032 --> 01:03:49.950
Oh, I just meant with your resources
and your experiences.

01:03:50.035 --> 01:03:52.202
Richard, I think all that
Laird is saying is that

01:03:52.287 --> 01:03:53.889
you've done an incredible job
with the girls.

01:03:53.913 --> 01:03:55.831
Hold on. Hold on, Paul.

01:03:55.915 --> 01:03:59.918
That is a full-grown adult man
sitting right there.

01:04:00.003 --> 01:04:02.546
He don't need you to say what he said.

01:04:02.630 --> 01:04:05.151
If you was gonna say what he said,
you could have said it back at the house.

We could have saved everybody
the trouble of coming to this meeting.

01:04:08.511 --> 01:04:11.430
Now, I asked this man
a simplified question.

01:04:11.514 --> 01:04:14.224
He over-emphasizing
how incredible it is...

01:04:14.309 --> 01:04:15.809
"it's so incredible" what we did.

01:04:15.894 --> 01:04:18.539

He ain't saying how incredible that is.

01:04:22.484 --> 01:04:23.692
We're here to ask questions.

01:04:23.777 --> 01:04:26.528
[Laird] I'm sorry. I mean,
I certainly did not mean to...

01:04:26.613 --> 01:04:28.864
make any offense there, Mr. Williams.
I'm very sorry.

01:04:28.948 --> 01:04:30.217
I just meant with your background...

01:04:30.241 --> 01:04:33.535
Our background. Now, of course,
what you mean is our race.

01:04:35.121 --> 01:04:36.497
-No, it's okay. I get it.

[soft chuckle] Well, that's exactly
what we're talking about, Richard.

01:04:49.052 --> 01:04:50.719
We think Venus
could be very inspirational

01:04:50.804 --> 01:04:53.305
to a whole group of people
who quite honestly, as an industry,

01:04:53.390 --> 01:04:55.516
we have not done enough to reach.

01:04:55.600 --> 01:04:58.727
Venus can open a lot of doors.
And we'd like to help her do it.

01:04:58.812 --> 01:05:01.855
Okay. So, uh, what you offering?

01:05:01.940 --> 01:05:05.359
Whatever you need.
Shoes, coaches, rackets.

01:05:05.443 --> 01:05:06.735
Rackets?

01:05:07.695 --> 01:05:09.154
They offering rackets?

01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:11.657
[scoffs] We wouldn't even be
sitting here if you hadn't seen

01:05:11.741 --> 01:05:13.552
-what they had done with their rackets.
-[Laird chuckles]

01:05:13.576 --> 01:05:16.954
-That's true. Fair enough. Yes.
-Come on. You sure you the best?

01:05:17.038 --> 01:05:19.415
-Well, I don't know. He said it.
-Richard, can I be frank?

01:05:20.500 --> 01:05:22.540
I think you should be
whoever the hell you wanna be.

01:05:23.378 --> 01:05:25.546
What Venus needs now
is more court time and training,

01:05:25.630 --> 01:05:26.982
the right tournaments and exposure.

01:05:27.006 --> 01:05:29.341
That's a hundred grand a year, easy.

01:05:31.052 --> 01:05:34.721
You sign with us
and we'll help you carry that burden.

01:05:37.267 --> 01:05:38.725
Let us take it from here.

01:05:39.894 --> 01:05:42.688
Let us make this a sure thing.

01:05:44.357 --> 01:05:46.733
You don't want to risk all that,
do you, Richard?

01:05:49.821 --> 01:05:52.281
[Richard farts loudly, groaning]

01:05:53.283 --> 01:05:55.284

I think I'mma go get in the pool.
Uh, we'll talk later.

01:06:02.250 --> 01:06:03.834
Lovely to meet you.

01:06:06.713 --> 01:06:08.172

01:06:16.848 --> 01:06:20.142
-Hey, Daddy. You hungry?
-You want something to eat?

01:06:20.226 --> 01:06:23.187
-Where the food I packed for you?
-Don't worry. It's all on our tab.

01:06:23.271 --> 01:06:25.522
-[Venus] Mm-hm.
-It's on your tab?

01:06:25.607 --> 01:06:28.609
It's no big deal, Mr. Williams.
All the food here is for free.

01:06:28.693 --> 01:06:30.819
Nothing's for free.
Somebody's paying for it.

01:06:30.904 --> 01:06:31.904
Put it down.

01:06:31.988 --> 01:06:33.948
Put it-- Don't you bite
that cookie one more time.

01:06:33.990 --> 01:06:35.240
Put it down.

01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:38.744
Let's go.
Get your little tabs out in the bus.

01:06:40.163 --> 01:06:41.788
-Bye.
-Bye, you guys.

01:06:41.873 --> 01:06:43.540
[Venus] Daddy, what's wrong?

01:06:43.625 --> 01:06:45.792
What's wrong?
You sitting at some country club

01:06:45.877 --> 01:06:48.629
with your legs all crossed like you
Queens of Sheba from somewhere.

01:06:49.464 --> 01:06:52.090
Never take anything
from anybody for free.

01:06:52.175 --> 01:06:54.384
Everything in this place got hooks in it.

01:06:55.887 --> 01:06:59.389

01:07:05.939 --> 01:07:07.333
All right.
I'll get you something to drink.

01:07:07.357 --> 01:07:08.982
Yeah, sure. That'd be great.

01:07:11.444 --> 01:07:13.487
So what are we doing here, Richard?

01:07:13.571 --> 01:07:15.656
What the hell was that back there?

01:07:15.740 --> 01:07:18.867
-Yeah, we-- we not doing this.
-Not doing what?

01:07:18.952 --> 01:07:22.871
We not signing with none of them agents.
We not playing no more Juniors.

01:07:22.956 --> 01:07:24.915
Have you lost your mind?

01:07:24.999 --> 01:07:27.417
Venus is 63-and-oh, okay?

01:07:27.502 --> 01:07:29.563
You pull her out of Juniors now,
you're gonna ruin her.

01:07:29.587 --> 01:07:31.941
Those girls need to play matches
or they're gonna die on the vine.

01:07:31.965 --> 01:07:34.633
Yeah, I-- I done heard the risk...

01:07:34.717 --> 01:07:37.594
but this Junior circuit
is worse than the ghetto.

01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:41.056
-[scoffs]
-Kids out there cracking up, burning out.

01:07:41.140 --> 01:07:43.934
-Their parents ought to be shot.
-What are you talking about?

01:07:44.018 --> 01:07:45.371
-Your daughters are fine.
-[girls shrieking]

01:07:45.395 --> 01:07:47.854
Oh, yeah, they fine now.
But you heard them agents,

01:07:47.939 --> 01:07:49.708
they talking about pushing them
up the ladders,

01:07:49.732 --> 01:07:52.025
and Nationals and Internationals.

01:07:52.110 --> 01:07:55.696
They just-- They don't need
all that pressure. Okay?

01:07:55.780 --> 01:07:58.740
They will play matches when they turn pro.

01:07:58.825 --> 01:08:00.803
And right now they need
to just do what they're doing.

01:08:00.827 --> 01:08:03.579
-They need to just be kids.
-No, there will be no pros, Richard.

01:08:04.247 --> 01:08:05.808
And even if there were,
you don't sign with an agent,

01:08:05.832 --> 01:08:07.643
how're you guys going to afford
all their training till then?

01:08:07.667 --> 01:08:10.085
-Let me worry about that.
-Did you know about this?

01:08:14.674 --> 01:08:17.217
Richard, don't do this.

01:08:17.719 --> 01:08:21.805
Every American player who's ever done
anything got good following this path.

01:08:21.889 --> 01:08:24.641
-Mac, Tracy, Agassi, Pete.
-Yep.

01:08:24.726 --> 01:08:28.478
This window you guys have
is so freaking small.

01:08:28.563 --> 01:08:29.605
-Yep.
-And it will close.

01:08:29.689 --> 01:08:31.292
I know you don't want to believe me,
but it will.

01:08:31.316 --> 01:08:35.611
Everybody talking about this window,
this window they got to get through.

01:08:35.695 --> 01:08:38.864
But peoples like us, we get shot
when we go through those.

01:08:38.948 --> 01:08:42.034
So I'm thinking we just gonna
pause right here,

01:08:42.118 --> 01:08:43.619
and then when the time is right,

01:08:43.703 --> 01:08:45.495
we just gonna walk
through the front door.

01:08:45.580 --> 01:08:46.788
[sighs heavily]

01:08:47.498 --> 01:08:49.124
Man, I don't understand.

01:08:50.793 --> 01:08:52.544
You do not have a clue.

01:08:52.629 --> 01:08:54.773
You are pissed off because
some guy insulted you today,

01:08:54.797 --> 01:08:57.049
-so now you wanna walk away.
-Mm-mm.

01:08:57.133 --> 01:09:00.510
You are the most stubborn person
I have ever met in my life.

01:09:00.595 --> 01:09:02.220
And I coach McEnroe.

01:09:03.473 --> 01:09:05.766
We appreciate
everything you've done, Paul.

01:09:07.310 --> 01:09:11.104
But this part
of our relationship is done.

01:09:11.856 --> 01:09:16.193
And we will no longer be requiring
your services anymore.

01:09:16.277 --> 01:09:19.738
[Paul] Richard, no good coach
is gonna take them for free

01:09:19.822 --> 01:09:21.657
if they're not playing Juniors.

01:09:21.741 --> 01:09:25.118
Well, you did. Remember?

01:09:25.203 --> 01:09:27.204
And I think you're a pretty good coach.

01:09:28.122 --> 01:09:29.748
[dry chuckle]

01:09:32.001 --> 01:09:34.086
[sighs deeply]

01:09:36.214 --> 01:09:37.631
All right.

01:09:41.260 --> 01:09:43.595
I just pray you don't screw this up.

01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:45.347
Yeah, we appreciate your prayers, Paul.

01:09:45.431 --> 01:09:46.973
[Paul] Mm-hm.

01:09:48.184 --> 01:09:50.352
[Tunde] Okay, Panty-Man, we gonna get her!

01:09:50.436 --> 01:09:51.603
Oracene.

01:09:52.313 --> 01:09:54.606
[girls laughing]

01:09:54.691 --> 01:09:56.483
[Tunde] Come on,
before Panty-Man gets you.

01:10:02.949 --> 01:10:05.200
-Hey.
-Hey.

01:10:05.284 --> 01:10:07.202
I'll see you at Wimbledon, kid.

01:10:13.126 --> 01:10:14.710
Are we a team?

01:10:16.087 --> 01:10:18.463
Are we a team? We... we a family.

01:10:18.548 --> 01:10:19.756
So we're a team?

01:10:19.841 --> 01:10:22.486
-A family the best kind of team there is.
-And you don't think that was a decision

01:10:22.510 --> 01:10:24.886
that you should have discussed with me?

01:10:25.513 --> 01:10:27.055
Discussed with Venus?

01:10:27.974 --> 01:10:31.601
Richard, my faith dictates
that I stand by your side.

01:10:31.686 --> 01:10:35.230
-All right, just do that, then.
-Don't mistake my silence for agreement.

01:10:35.314 --> 01:10:39.025
You do that again, and I won't be quiet.

01:10:39.110 --> 01:10:41.903
-Now, don't do that to me.
-You don't make a fool out of me.

01:10:41.988 --> 01:10:43.739
-Who made a fool out of you?
-You.

01:10:43.823 --> 01:10:45.342
-You made a fool out of me.
-What are you talking about?

01:10:45.366 --> 01:10:49.035
-Don't make a fool out of me.
-Ain't nobody make no fool out of you.

01:10:56.502 --> 01:10:59.963
[Rick] Good feet. Excellent.
Get there. Work! Excellent.

01:11:00.047 --> 01:11:02.132
I like it. I like it.
Hey, who's aggressive?

01:11:02.216 --> 01:11:04.551
-Who wants this point?
-[man] Rick. Rick.

01:11:04.635 --> 01:11:07.679
This guy Richard Williams keeps calling.
It's like the tenth time in a row.

01:11:07.764 --> 01:11:09.264
Told me to tell you it's urgent.

01:11:09.348 --> 01:11:11.349
Urgent? What's so urgent?
His backhand?

01:11:11.434 --> 01:11:12.601
You gotta get that ball.

01:11:12.685 --> 01:11:14.603
No, some, uh, father in California.

01:11:14.687 --> 01:11:17.207
Says he's got two daughters,
that they're the best in the state.

01:11:17.231 --> 01:11:20.484
[Rick] Yeah, let me guess,
next Jennifer Capriati?

01:11:20.568 --> 01:11:23.111
These girls so great,
how come I've never heard of 'em?

01:11:23.821 --> 01:11:25.280
They're from Compton.

01:11:25.823 --> 01:11:27.073
Compton?

01:11:27.158 --> 01:11:28.992
All right, keep working.
Cuz, it's on you.

01:11:29.076 --> 01:11:31.661
-[coach] Let's keep those lines going!
-[Rick] Let's go, guys.

01:11:33.664 --> 01:11:34.892
-You guys are late.
-[girl] Sorry.

01:11:34.916 --> 01:11:36.458
Let's go. Move, move, move.

01:11:37.543 --> 01:11:40.879
I like that. I like the visor.
Are you eating that?

01:11:41.255 --> 01:11:43.815
You put crap like that in your mouth,
your game's gonna go south.

01:11:43.883 --> 01:11:45.717
-Hey, Barry, which line?
-[Barry] Line two.

01:11:45.802 --> 01:11:47.594
Line two. Okay.

01:11:49.764 --> 01:11:51.223
This is Rick Macci.

01:11:57.897 --> 01:12:00.106
[Lyn] He's here! He's here!
He's here! He's here!

01:12:00.191 --> 01:12:03.193
Okay, okay. Relax, relax.
Everybody, come on, get in your positions.

01:12:03.277 --> 01:12:04.402
Let's go.

01:12:06.197 --> 01:12:08.573
[Richard] Mr. Macci. Welcome, welcome.

01:12:08.658 --> 01:12:09.950
Hello, everybody.

01:12:10.576 --> 01:12:11.762
-[Brandy] Hello.
-[Venus and Serena] Hi.

01:12:11.786 --> 01:12:13.703
-I'm Richard Williams.
-Mr. Williams.

01:12:13.788 --> 01:12:15.330
This my wife. This Brandy.

01:12:15.414 --> 01:12:17.165
-Hi, it's an honor.
-We glad to see you.

01:12:17.250 --> 01:12:19.186
-It's great to be here.
-This is all our kids. This our family.

01:12:19.210 --> 01:12:21.670
That's Venus, Serena,
Tunde, Lyn, Isha.

01:12:21.754 --> 01:12:22.921
-[Rick] Hello.
-[girls] Hi.

01:12:23.005 --> 01:12:24.858
Thank you for coming.
We know you came a long way,

01:12:24.882 --> 01:12:27.110
so we won't waste your time.
You want to get over to the club?

01:12:27.134 --> 01:12:29.553
-Let's get it started.
-Come on, girls, let's go.

01:12:29.637 --> 01:12:32.180
-Mr. Macci a busy man.
-Be great, be great.

01:12:32.265 --> 01:12:34.305
[Richard] Come on, y'all, let's go.
Get on in there.

01:12:35.393 --> 01:12:37.227
[Rick] Grab the door here.

01:12:39.063 --> 01:12:41.773
Wow. [grunts] So, uh...

01:12:41.858 --> 01:12:44.442
tell me one more time,
which one of you is, uh...

01:12:44.527 --> 01:12:46.152
Big one, Venus. Little one, Serena.

01:12:46.237 --> 01:12:48.655
-Okay. I think I can handle that.
-[bus starts]

01:12:49.615 --> 01:12:51.032
[chuckles]

01:12:52.702 --> 01:12:54.582
Oh, don't worry about that.
You don't need that.

01:12:58.833 --> 01:13:00.208
[Brandy] Bye, guys!

01:13:02.837 --> 01:13:05.589
-[honking horn]
-We got Rick Macci in Compton!

01:13:05.673 --> 01:13:08.049
[all laughing]

01:13:08.676 --> 01:13:12.262
There you go, Meka. Take that.
And that.

01:13:12.346 --> 01:13:15.140
-[Rick] Close her down, Richard?
-Yeah, you can just close it up.

01:13:17.101 --> 01:13:20.478
-[rap music playing]
-[car engine revving]

01:13:22.857 --> 01:13:27.235
Hey, hey, hey! Slow down, haircut.
Hell you think you going?

01:13:28.905 --> 01:13:31.907
Uh, well...
just gonna play some tennis.

01:13:31.991 --> 01:13:33.158
[man] Hey, yo, Richard!

01:13:33.242 --> 01:13:35.619
This Jimmy Connors-looking cracker
with you?

01:13:35.703 --> 01:13:38.371
-Uh, yeah, yeah, white boy with us.
-All right, it's spoke.

01:13:38.956 --> 01:13:41.625
-Yeah, he just white.
-I am that.

01:13:42.335 --> 01:13:44.895
-[man] Get up out of here.
-I ain't gonna let you get shot, Rick.

01:13:44.962 --> 01:13:46.254
[Rick] Appreciate it.

01:13:47.715 --> 01:13:49.716
-[Rick] This is it, huh?
-[Richard] This it.

01:13:50.509 --> 01:13:52.427
-Compton Country Club.
-[grunts]

01:13:53.220 --> 01:13:55.305
Really good, really good, really good.

01:13:57.475 --> 01:13:59.475
They ain't gonna hit you.
They ain't gonna hit you.

01:14:00.061 --> 01:14:01.144
[Rick] Go get it. Forehand.

01:14:01.562 --> 01:14:03.772
-[grunting]
-Pop! Excellent. Backhand.

01:14:03.856 --> 01:14:06.566
Attagirl, go! Move. Fast feet.
Good recovery.

01:14:06.651 --> 01:14:08.109
Excellent. Recover.

01:14:08.194 --> 01:14:10.487
Wheels, wheels, recover. Go!

01:14:11.572 --> 01:14:13.865
-Good! Again!
-[vocal grunt]

01:14:13.950 --> 01:14:16.034
Hey, I like it.
Find the slot, rip the shot.

01:14:16.494 --> 01:14:17.804
-[into camera] That's Rick Macci.
-[Rick] Again!

01:14:17.828 --> 01:14:19.412
Where you get that power from?

01:14:19.497 --> 01:14:20.914
[Richard] Macci rhyme with "crazy."

01:14:20.998 --> 01:14:22.434
[Rick] I'm sorry, was it something I said?

01:14:22.458 --> 01:14:25.062
I think it's the 'stache. I think she
doesn't like the guy with the 'stache.

01:14:25.086 --> 01:14:27.754
Get there. I love it.
Come on in for the approach.

01:14:28.339 --> 01:14:30.882
-[grunts]
-Yes! Come on. Get there.

01:14:31.634 --> 01:14:32.986
What do you say?
Fight it like you're angry.

01:14:33.010 --> 01:14:34.761
Oh, I like it! Excellent work.

01:14:34.845 --> 01:14:37.472
Hey, girls. Hey.
I love what you're doing.

01:14:37.556 --> 01:14:38.992
-Excellent job.
-[Richard] There you go!

01:14:39.016 --> 01:14:41.059
Put it right there.
Did you guys have fun?

01:14:41.143 --> 01:14:43.269
-[both] Yeah.
-Good, good, good. I like it.

01:14:43.354 --> 01:14:45.605
That father of yours,
he's done a heck of a job,

01:14:45.690 --> 01:14:47.607
so, uh, this was a lot of fun for me too.

01:14:47.692 --> 01:14:49.818
So, thank you, girls. Thank you.

01:14:49.902 --> 01:14:52.612
Richard, I'm, uh... I'm impressed.

01:14:52.697 --> 01:14:55.073
[Richard] Y'all go get some water.
Get some water.

01:14:55.157 --> 01:14:57.242
They're, uh... they're terrific.
I think...

01:14:58.077 --> 01:15:01.204
I think you might just have
the next Michael Jordan on your hands.

01:15:01.288 --> 01:15:04.416
Oh, no, brother-man...
I gots me the next two.

01:15:04.500 --> 01:15:07.168
[hearty laugh]

01:15:07.253 --> 01:15:08.878
I like the way you think.

01:15:09.380 --> 01:15:13.049
This here...
this is my standard agreement.

01:15:13.134 --> 01:15:16.219
Same one I used with Jennifer.
All right?

01:15:16.303 --> 01:15:20.265
Instruction, housing, food, education.
You don't pay for a thing.

01:15:20.349 --> 01:15:22.767
Even trips to Disney World,
which is right down the road.

01:15:22.852 --> 01:15:26.438
But... uh, mostly, it's...
it's my personal time.

01:15:26.522 --> 01:15:28.231
Now, that I promise you will get.

01:15:28.315 --> 01:15:31.651
You train at Rick Macci, you're gonna...
you're gonna train with Rick.

01:15:31.736 --> 01:15:34.195
Sounds expensive. What's in it for you?

01:15:34.280 --> 01:15:36.740
My fee is 15 percent
of their future earnings.

01:15:36.824 --> 01:15:39.159
If you make nothing, I make nothing.

01:15:39.243 --> 01:15:42.912
But, uh, I can tell you one thing,
we are not gonna make nothing.

01:15:42.997 --> 01:15:45.957
[chuckles] What you know
about Nick Bollettieri?

01:15:48.127 --> 01:15:51.421
-He a real famous tennis coach.
-Sure, uh...

01:15:51.505 --> 01:15:54.174
The boy keep calling here.
Can't get him off the phone.

01:15:54.258 --> 01:15:56.384
Yeah, Nick is, uh... he's a good coach.

01:15:56.469 --> 01:16:00.430
You know, he's had a lot of success,
but, uh... I can tell you now,

01:16:00.514 --> 01:16:03.314
you go down to Bradenton to train
with Nick, you're not gonna get Nick.

01:16:03.350 --> 01:16:05.620
You're gonna get whatever hitting coach
he's got available.

01:16:05.644 --> 01:16:07.729
You're gonna... gonna get a factory.

01:16:07.813 --> 01:16:09.624
Now, you train with me,
I'm your coach. It's me.

01:16:09.648 --> 01:16:11.191
A lot of people say Nick the best.

01:16:11.275 --> 01:16:12.901
[Brandy] Mm-hm.

01:16:12.985 --> 01:16:14.819
-Remember that man who said that?
-Mm-hm.

01:16:14.904 --> 01:16:18.073
Mr. and Mrs. Williams,
whether it's Nick or Rick,

01:16:18.157 --> 01:16:19.676
Tom, Dick, or Harry, it doesn't matter.

01:16:19.700 --> 01:16:22.660
If it's their dream to be a champion,
well, then you got a chance.

01:16:22.745 --> 01:16:24.579
But, you know, if it's yours, mine, no.

01:16:24.663 --> 01:16:27.207
Crash and burn.
It's not gonna happen. So...

01:16:27.291 --> 01:16:29.292
you want to go with Nick, then...

01:16:29.376 --> 01:16:32.087
you know, you gotta go with Nick.
That's your prerogative.

01:16:32.171 --> 01:16:33.630
No, we wanna go with you.

01:16:33.714 --> 01:16:36.424
[relieved laugh]
Oh! Thank heavens. I was...

01:16:36.509 --> 01:16:38.429
We just wanted to hear you say
what you had said.

01:16:38.511 --> 01:16:39.928

I'm sorry, you...
You all wanna come to Florida?

Not Tunde.
She just graduated valedictorian.

01:17:03.202 --> 01:17:05.078
So, her life is here.

-Thank you, sir.

01:17:07.039 --> 01:17:10.083
Yeah, but all that other stuff that's
in that contract, we need that.

01:17:10.167 --> 01:17:14.587
We need a house, we need the best school,
and a job for me on your staff.

It says here, a... mobile home?

don't we?

You bet I do.

I mean, look at that.
That's... that's the model right there.

in Jennifer's path.

01:22:10.050 --> 01:22:12.176
We start with the Easter Bowl,
then the Orange Bowl.

01:22:12.261 --> 01:22:14.137
-Just like how Jennifer did it, right?
-Yep.

01:22:14.221 --> 01:22:15.949
They're good tournaments,
they're challenging.

01:22:15.973 --> 01:22:18.850
I'm thinking we not gonna play
the Easter Bowl though, Rick.

01:22:19.518 --> 01:22:22.562
Okay, well, you...
got another tournament in mind?

01:22:24.231 --> 01:22:25.982
No, uh...

01:22:26.066 --> 01:22:29.193
I meant to tell you, uh...
we not playing no more Juniors.

01:22:30.070 --> 01:22:32.905
Yeah, they'll play matches again
when they turn pro.

01:22:33.949 --> 01:22:35.658
[dry chuckle] Okay.

01:22:35.742 --> 01:22:38.119

is that gonna be, Richard?

01:22:39.163 --> 01:22:42.498

We not gonna start rushing now.

01:22:45.002 --> 01:22:47.170
Uh... what are they gonna do, Richard?

01:22:47.254 --> 01:22:49.130
What... They gonna play ping-pong?

01:22:49.214 --> 01:22:50.798
No, no. They gonna practice with you.

01:22:50.883 --> 01:22:53.468
They gonna go to school,
they gonna go to the Hall.

01:22:53.552 --> 01:22:56.304
And pretty much, they gonna be kids.
That's what I want.

01:22:56.388 --> 01:22:58.514
They're gonna be-- be kids? But...

01:22:58.599 --> 01:23:00.641
Richard, that's--
that is not how it works.

01:23:00.726 --> 01:23:02.643
I-- I can't do that.

01:23:02.728 --> 01:23:05.396
I can't mold her like that.
You need to play Juniors.

01:23:05.481 --> 01:23:08.399
Look, there's not a single player,
not one, on the pro tour

01:23:08.484 --> 01:23:12.028
that didn't play Juniors.
Without Juniors, it's impossible.

01:23:12.112 --> 01:23:15.239
Well, not for you. Not for you.
You Rick Macci.

01:23:15.324 --> 01:23:16.991
That's why we drove all this way.

01:23:17.075 --> 01:23:19.660
Nothing is impossible for Rick Macci.

01:23:20.537 --> 01:23:23.331
But if you think you can't do it,
we can go talk to Nick.

01:23:27.044 --> 01:23:29.462
You know, you might have
mentioned this in Compton.

01:23:30.422 --> 01:23:32.882
I probably could have,
but then you wouldn't have made

01:23:32.966 --> 01:23:36.511
the best decision
you ever made in your life.

01:23:37.763 --> 01:23:39.514
This is great, Rick.

01:23:39.598 --> 01:23:41.438
Oh, and I need 'em hitting
open-stance strokes.

01:23:41.475 --> 01:23:43.434
-Ah, God.
-That's the most important.

01:23:43.519 --> 01:23:45.311
They got to hit them open-stance strokes.

01:23:45.395 --> 01:23:48.272
We gonna make it go "boom" like you said.
Remember? Make it go boom.

01:23:48.357 --> 01:23:50.358
Yeah, I...
I said "bang," but, yeah.

01:23:50.442 --> 01:23:52.378
You said, "bang," "boom,"
we gonna make some noise.

01:23:52.402 --> 01:23:53.963
I got to get the family.
They need to see this.

01:23:53.987 --> 01:23:55.905
I'mma grab a burger.
You want something?

01:23:55.989 --> 01:23:57.907
I don't want a burger.

01:23:57.991 --> 01:23:59.844
[Richard] Don't be scared, Rick.
I wrote the plan.

01:23:59.868 --> 01:24:01.619
Oh, God, the plan.

01:24:05.040 --> 01:24:07.083
All right, Venus, serve it up.

01:24:21.181 --> 01:24:23.182
[Rick] Good! Hey, look at that.

01:24:24.017 --> 01:24:26.269
Boom! I like it. How about that?

01:24:26.353 --> 01:24:28.896
Bang! Come on, get in there and dig!

01:24:28.981 --> 01:24:32.108
Kill it. I like it. Good. Good, good.
Hey, listen.

01:24:32.192 --> 01:24:34.232
That wasn't a good shot at the end.
Do you know why?

01:24:34.278 --> 01:24:35.361
It was excellent.

01:24:35.445 --> 01:24:37.196
-'Cause it was excellent. Good.

01:24:37.281 --> 01:24:40.157
I'm proud of ya. Excellent work.
Let's go. I'll race you to the water.

01:24:40.242 --> 01:24:42.345
You've faced a lot of criticism
in the last three years

01:24:42.369 --> 01:24:44.597
since you pulled your daughters
out of Junior tournament tennis.

01:24:44.621 --> 01:24:46.622
-Mm-hm.
-You've been called controversial,

01:24:46.707 --> 01:24:49.959
overbearing, a self-promoting distraction.

01:24:50.043 --> 01:24:52.795
-Mm-hm.
-How do you respond to all that?

01:24:52.879 --> 01:24:55.464
Well, look, peoples gonna say
what peoples gonna say.

01:24:55.549 --> 01:24:58.593
You know, when somebody come to me,
telling me my daughter so good,

01:24:58.677 --> 01:25:01.554
and she, you know,
she need to be playing matches,

01:25:01.638 --> 01:25:05.308
I know the only reason they see good
is 'cause they see money.

01:25:05.392 --> 01:25:08.811
And most of the time they see money
that can be going into they pocket.

01:25:08.895 --> 01:25:11.015
But you've certainly said
a lot of provocative things.

01:25:11.064 --> 01:25:13.733
You've said
"tennis parents should be shot."

01:25:13.817 --> 01:25:16.457
You've said you're brokering a deal
to purchase Rockefeller Center.

01:25:16.528 --> 01:25:17.653
Yep.

01:25:18.238 --> 01:25:20.656
Well, truth is,
I got so many businesses now,

01:25:20.741 --> 01:25:22.700
I hardly even think about tennis.

01:25:22.784 --> 01:25:24.846
And you're not concerned
all that's holding them back?

01:25:24.870 --> 01:25:28.289
Most top prospects their age,
like Martina Hingis for example,

01:25:28.373 --> 01:25:29.832
-are about to turn pro.
-Yeah.

01:25:29.916 --> 01:25:33.294
But your daughters haven't
played a match since 1991.

01:25:33.378 --> 01:25:35.421
Well, we still pushing 'em forward.

01:25:35.505 --> 01:25:40.551
Venus speaking four languages.
Most of 'em fluently, almost.

01:25:40.636 --> 01:25:41.969
How many languages you speak?

01:25:42.888 --> 01:25:45.556
Exactly. Not even really good at this one.

01:25:46.058 --> 01:25:48.059
Look, look,
I've been broke all my life,

01:25:48.143 --> 01:25:51.062
and Venus don't wanna be poor, you know.

01:25:51.146 --> 01:25:54.857
But we not gonna let nobody push our
daughter into nothing she ain't ready for.

01:25:56.485 --> 01:25:59.403
-Okay. All right, I'mma get Venus.
-Thank you.

01:25:59.488 --> 01:26:01.322
Y'all can go ahead
and move and set up up top.

01:26:01.406 --> 01:26:04.367
Now, fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet.
Good. Here they come.

01:26:04.451 --> 01:26:06.262
Here's it come.
You don't know when it's coming.

01:26:06.286 --> 01:26:09.789
Let's go. You don't know. Go! React.
Good! I like it. Let's go. Move.

01:26:09.873 --> 01:26:11.916
Yes, like a bullet. Yes, I like it!

01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:14.293
Boom, that's major league. Let's go.
Fast feet. Fast feet.

01:26:14.378 --> 01:26:15.252
Junior!

01:26:15.337 --> 01:26:17.922
When you're moving, I'm grooving.
Good. Get there.

01:26:18.006 --> 01:26:20.257
You got an interview. Come on, let's go.

01:26:21.468 --> 01:26:24.804
Come on.
Hey, V, we got two more hours.

01:26:24.888 --> 01:26:28.432
I'm telling you now, you leave this court,
your sister's taking over.

01:26:28.517 --> 01:26:30.017
Sorry, Rick, it's showtime.

01:26:30.102 --> 01:26:32.561
Yeah, it's always showtime,
isn't it, Richard?

01:26:33.480 --> 01:26:37.274
Hey, Meek, let's go.
I know someone wants to be here.

01:26:37.359 --> 01:26:40.319
-[reporter] Do you want to turn pro?
-Yes.

01:26:40.404 --> 01:26:44.115
A lot of people are excited to see
how you'd do against players like Seles.

01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:45.700
Do you think you can beat her?

01:26:46.535 --> 01:26:48.035
I know I could beat her.

01:26:48.120 --> 01:26:51.497
You know you can beat her?
Very confident.

01:26:51.581 --> 01:26:53.999
I'm very confident. [light chuckle]

01:26:54.084 --> 01:26:57.628
You say it so easily. Why?

01:26:58.714 --> 01:27:00.214
Because I believe it.

01:27:00.298 --> 01:27:02.383
But you haven't played a match
in almost three years.

01:27:02.467 --> 01:27:05.720
All right, hold it right there.
If you don't mind, lemme tell you why.

01:27:05.804 --> 01:27:07.638
Richard, we're doing an interview.

01:27:07.723 --> 01:27:11.517
Well, what she had said, she said it
with so much confidence the first time.

01:27:11.601 --> 01:27:14.478
-But you keep going on and on.
-You can't just keep interrupting--

01:27:14.563 --> 01:27:16.523
What you gots to understand
is you're dealing with

01:27:16.606 --> 01:27:19.191
the image of a 14-year-old child.

01:27:19.276 --> 01:27:23.028
And this child gonna be playing when
your old ass and me gonna be in the grave.

01:27:23.739 --> 01:27:26.365
When she had said something,
we done told you what's happening.

01:27:26.450 --> 01:27:30.161
You are dealing with a little Black kid.
Let her be a kid.

01:27:30.245 --> 01:27:32.223
Now, she done answered it
with a lot of confidence.

01:27:32.247 --> 01:27:34.081
Leave that alone!

01:27:37.294 --> 01:27:39.254
[Rick] Focus. That's it.
It's all about your eyes.

01:27:39.337 --> 01:27:41.964
Focus. Right there. Good.
Turn it over. Good.

01:27:42.048 --> 01:27:45.801
Sharp. Again. Again.
Sharp. Let's go.

01:27:45.886 --> 01:27:49.388
One, two, right there.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:27:49.473 --> 01:27:51.640
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

01:27:51.725 --> 01:27:53.893
Let's go. Keep moving. Keep moving.
Fast feet.

01:27:53.977 --> 01:27:56.145
What's going on, Shakespeare? Good.

01:27:56.229 --> 01:27:58.606
-Did you get the part?
-Yeah, it was good.

01:28:00.150 --> 01:28:01.859
Rick, what's going on over there?

01:28:01.943 --> 01:28:05.738
Ah... big Junior tournament's coming up.
The Continental Cup.

01:28:05.822 --> 01:28:08.574
Hoopla's for Kournikova.
She's getting some practice in.

01:28:08.658 --> 01:28:10.785
I heard she's going pro next month
in Russia.

01:28:10.869 --> 01:28:14.872
-Hingis announced too.
-Yeah, they, uh... They are.

01:28:14.956 --> 01:28:18.709
But look, Russia's overrated.
The weather's lousy, the food's terrible.

01:28:18.794 --> 01:28:20.920
-But, Rick, I wanna play.
-[sighs]

01:28:21.004 --> 01:28:22.922
Sweetheart, you're preaching
to the choir, okay?

01:28:23.006 --> 01:28:24.966
-Do you think I'm ready?
-No, I know you're ready.

01:28:25.008 --> 01:28:27.843
-Okay, will you talk to my dad?
-[sighs] Sweetheart, look...

01:28:27.928 --> 01:28:31.138
-Rick, please. You know I'm ready.
-Trying to feed me to the wolves here.

01:28:31.223 --> 01:28:34.058
-Look, I've been down this road...
-Rick, just talk to him. Please.

01:28:34.559 --> 01:28:36.811
-[hesitant groan]
-Please?

01:28:36.895 --> 01:28:38.498
All right, all right,
all right, all right, all right.

01:28:38.522 --> 01:28:40.022
-You know--
-Is that a yes?

01:28:40.106 --> 01:28:42.691
It's that face. It's your face.
It's like I can't...

01:28:42.776 --> 01:28:44.496
-So, yes?
-You give me the face... Yes, yes.

01:28:44.569 --> 01:28:46.987
-Yes! Yes!
-All right, all right, all right.

01:28:47.072 --> 01:28:49.490
-Oh, boy. Here we go. Let's just...
-That's a yes.

01:28:49.574 --> 01:28:51.414
...hope he doesn't actually
kill the messenger.

01:28:51.451 --> 01:28:53.118
-[Serena] He said yeah?
-He said yes.

01:28:53.203 --> 01:28:54.411
[Rick] Jesus.

01:28:54.496 --> 01:28:57.248
Think fast.
Put those on, train your sister.

01:28:57.332 --> 01:28:59.811
I need a break to figure out
how I'm gonna talk to this maniac.

01:28:59.835 --> 01:29:02.086
-Let's go. Put your gloves on.
-Let's go.

01:29:02.170 --> 01:29:03.295
[Rick sighs]

01:29:03.380 --> 01:29:06.966
[Richard] The main reason we not rushing,
'cause without an education,

01:29:07.050 --> 01:29:09.593
no matter how good you are,
by the time they 18,

01:29:09.678 --> 01:29:12.304
they gonna be broke and have
50 more years to live like a fool.

01:29:12.764 --> 01:29:15.182
We not doing that. Oh, look at that!

01:29:15.267 --> 01:29:17.187
-What's going on, everybody?
-There's Rick Macci.

01:29:17.269 --> 01:29:20.646
Rick own everything you see
as far as you can see.

01:29:20.730 --> 01:29:25.067
True. Hey, uh... Richard, do you think
I could, um, bend your ear for a minute?

01:29:25.151 --> 01:29:28.988
Oh, yeah, sure thing.
Girls, take the kids down to the court.

01:29:29.072 --> 01:29:30.550
I'll meet you down there.
You can go with them.

01:29:30.574 --> 01:29:32.241
-I'll talk to you in a second.
-Thank you.

01:29:32.325 --> 01:29:35.244
Rick got that look on his face
like he need to say something to me

01:29:35.328 --> 01:29:36.787
that I'm not gonna wanna hear.

01:29:36.872 --> 01:29:38.330
Have fun, kids.

01:29:38.415 --> 01:29:40.309
-You have great teachers.
-Lemme give you a ride in your cart.

01:29:40.333 --> 01:29:43.878
She got the fire in her eye, that one.
Thank you. I miss this sucker.

01:29:43.962 --> 01:29:45.754
Richard, there's a...

01:29:45.839 --> 01:29:48.674
There's a tournament
in Oakland coming up.

01:29:48.758 --> 01:29:50.217
It's called the Bank of the West.

01:29:50.302 --> 01:29:52.845
-Mm-hm.
-Now, I called the director.

01:29:52.929 --> 01:29:56.181
He said they'd, uh, give Venus
a wild card if we committed now.

01:29:56.266 --> 01:29:58.017
Also, my friend Patrick, he's from Nike,

01:29:58.101 --> 01:30:00.246
he's gonna be there,
and he's available for a sit-down.

01:30:00.270 --> 01:30:02.730
-I don't like that, Rick.
-You don't like what? Wait a second.

01:30:02.814 --> 01:30:04.440
Don't talk to peoples behind my back.

01:30:04.524 --> 01:30:06.711
-I'm not talking to anybody. Wait--
-You know I don't like that.

01:30:06.735 --> 01:30:09.486
Hang on a second.
Will you just hear me out, please?

01:30:09.571 --> 01:30:12.656
Look, she's... she's 14 years old.

01:30:12.741 --> 01:30:15.117
Hingis just turned pro.
Kournikova, she's going soon.

01:30:15.201 --> 01:30:17.912
I don't understand why
we would give them a head start.

01:30:17.996 --> 01:30:20.956
Jennifer, she-- she'd been on the cover
of a freaking Wheaties box by now.

01:30:21.041 --> 01:30:22.476
And I know I'm not supposed to say this,

01:30:22.500 --> 01:30:25.127
but Venus is twice as good
as Jennifer ever was.

01:30:25.712 --> 01:30:28.464
-Jennifer just dropped off the tour.
-Nah, she didn't. [scoffs]

01:30:28.548 --> 01:30:31.091
She didn't drop off the tour.
She's taking a break, okay?

01:30:31.176 --> 01:30:33.237
-Rick, tell me the truth.
-It's a vacation. I am telling the truth.

01:30:33.261 --> 01:30:35.448
-Peoples are saying that she burnt out.
-She's not burned out.

01:30:35.472 --> 01:30:39.099
Jennifer is fine, but you know what?
So is Venus.

01:30:39.184 --> 01:30:40.726
Come on, man.

01:30:40.810 --> 01:30:44.104
Look, she's ready.
Let's get this show on the road.

01:30:44.189 --> 01:30:47.733
I can see it in her eyes.
She's hungry. She's got the fire.

01:30:47.817 --> 01:30:51.779
-Come on, Richard. What do you say?
-Did she send you here to talk to me?

01:30:51.863 --> 01:30:53.591
-You're gonna beat me?
-I'm gonna hit it now.

01:30:53.615 --> 01:30:56.033
[Rick] Okay, it's not just my idea.

01:30:57.494 --> 01:31:01.246
-Rick, I don't say this to you too often.
-Right.

01:31:01.331 --> 01:31:04.333
-But you are not wrong.
-So, does that--?

01:31:04.417 --> 01:31:07.002
But that's all you're getting
from me today. Okay?

01:31:07.087 --> 01:31:09.088
-Okay.
-Just let me think about it.

01:31:09.172 --> 01:31:10.608
-I'll take it. [chuckles]
-All right.

01:31:10.632 --> 01:31:12.716
Thank you for your time, Richard.

01:31:13.551 --> 01:31:15.391
[Richard] You can borrow your cart
if you want.

01:31:15.428 --> 01:31:17.388
Uh, that's okay, Richard,
you hang onto it.

01:31:17.472 --> 01:31:18.597
It looks great on you.

01:31:18.682 --> 01:31:21.600
-No, just have it back in 40 minutes.
-Okay.

01:31:22.602 --> 01:31:24.478
[Venus] Oh, my gosh.

01:31:25.647 --> 01:31:28.107
[tennis pro] Again! Again!

01:31:29.109 --> 01:31:31.026
You gotta get it in.
You can't fault on that.

01:31:31.111 --> 01:31:32.319
-Thank you.
-Here you go, sir.

01:31:32.404 --> 01:31:34.113
My wife think
I got a girlfriend down here,

01:31:34.197 --> 01:31:36.365
I be coming to get your burgers so much.

01:31:36.449 --> 01:31:38.492
She don't know I'm cheating
on her cooking.

01:31:41.579 --> 01:31:45.165
<i>[man on TV] Jennifer Capriati now faces</i>
<i>her most serious court battle.</i>

01:31:45.250 --> 01:31:47.918
<i>The 18-year-old was arrested</i>
<i>after police showed up</i>

01:31:48.003 --> 01:31:51.755
<i>at her Coral Gables hotel room</i>
<i>to check a tip about a runaway.</i>

<i>They were arrested on charges of heroin</i>
<i>and suspected crack cocaine possession.</i>

01:32:05.020 --> 01:32:07.646
Let's go!

01:32:07.731 --> 01:32:10.899
What do you say? What do you say?
Time to get sharp for the bay.

01:32:10.984 --> 01:32:13.110
Little steps, big results.

01:32:13.194 --> 01:32:16.238
What's going on?
Where is everybody?

01:32:17.365 --> 01:32:19.427
Come on, guys, somebody say something.
What's going on?

01:32:19.451 --> 01:32:21.243
-They're at Disney World.
-They're what?

01:32:21.327 --> 01:32:22.536
They're at Disney World.

01:32:22.620 --> 01:32:24.955
Richard said practice is cancelled
for today.

01:32:26.416 --> 01:32:27.833
Ah, you gotta be...

01:32:33.173 --> 01:32:35.424
[radio blaring upbeat music]

01:32:35.508 --> 01:32:38.635
-[Richard] There go Rick. Hey, Rick!
-[Brandy] Hey, Richard.

01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:40.763
[girls laughing]

01:32:46.144 --> 01:32:47.144
[Richard] Okay, let's go.

01:32:47.228 --> 01:32:49.104
[Brandy] Come on. Homework.
You got homework.

01:32:49.189 --> 01:32:50.773
-[Rick] Hello, everybody.
-[Brandy] Hey.

01:32:50.857 --> 01:32:52.191
You guys have a good time?

01:32:52.275 --> 01:32:54.359
-I rode on Space Mountain.
-Did ya? Were you scared?

01:32:54.444 --> 01:32:56.737
I was not scared.
They were crying like babies.

01:32:56.821 --> 01:32:58.280
-I like those ears.
-Don't drop that.

01:32:58.364 --> 01:33:01.950
Richard, maybe if I could
just get a minute? Thank you.

01:33:03.995 --> 01:33:05.329
There was, uh...

01:33:05.413 --> 01:33:07.266
-We had a practice scheduled.
-[Richard] Uh-huh.

01:33:07.290 --> 01:33:10.834
Tournament's just a few weeks away,
so, you know, we gotta practice.

01:33:10.919 --> 01:33:14.338
Yeah, well... I decided
we not playing that tournament.

01:33:15.006 --> 01:33:16.757
-Daddy, what?
-[Brandy exhales heavily]

01:33:16.841 --> 01:33:18.425
-Why? What happened?
-It's okay, Junior.

01:33:18.510 --> 01:33:21.303
I'm not gonna let him
burn you out like he did Capriati.

01:33:21.387 --> 01:33:24.431
-What?
-[Rick] I'm sorry, like I did with what?

01:33:24.516 --> 01:33:26.850
-[Richard] Well, you was her coach, right?
-Mommy...

01:33:26.935 --> 01:33:28.913
[Richard] That's all you been saying is,
"Look at Jennifer. Look at Jennifer."

01:33:28.937 --> 01:33:32.648
Well, we looking.
She on TV, her mugshot. Arrested.

01:33:32.732 --> 01:33:37.820
Venus is not gonna be cracked out
in some alley 'cause you pushed her there.

01:33:37.904 --> 01:33:38.946
[Venus] It's not fair.

01:33:39.030 --> 01:33:42.407
[Brandy] Venus, don't you get upset.
Don't you let him see you upset. Come on.

01:33:43.034 --> 01:33:45.619
[Rick] You proud of yourself?
Just broke her heart.

01:33:46.121 --> 01:33:47.454
[scoffs]

01:33:48.248 --> 01:33:53.710
I tell you what, man...
I'm getting pretty tired of your games.

01:33:55.380 --> 01:33:58.048
-My games? What games?
-These games.

01:33:58.133 --> 01:34:01.301
You showed up here, first thing you did,
you pulled 'em out of Juniors.

01:34:01.386 --> 01:34:03.679
Now you pull 'em out of practice.
You do it constantly.

01:34:03.763 --> 01:34:06.473
For music lessons,
or homework, or church.

01:34:06.558 --> 01:34:10.102
Look, they got to get straight A's,
else they can't play tennis.

01:34:10.186 --> 01:34:11.831
You knew that. I told you that.
That's my rules.

01:34:11.855 --> 01:34:14.565
Well, you pull 'em out to train
with other coaches behind my back?

01:34:16.192 --> 01:34:18.402
-I'm trying to round out they games.
-[scoffs]

01:34:18.486 --> 01:34:20.863
They not gonna get great
doing the same drills

01:34:20.947 --> 01:34:23.699
-every other Junior in America is doing.
-Thank you.

01:34:23.783 --> 01:34:26.554
-I'm trying to look out for my kids.
-No, you're looking out for yourself.

01:34:26.578 --> 01:34:30.122
You know, all I hear from you is pressure.
Pressure, pressure, pressure.

01:34:30.206 --> 01:34:32.916
But you know what I see?
On TV, I see it every day.

01:34:33.001 --> 01:34:34.585
I see the Richard Williams Show.

01:34:34.669 --> 01:34:37.754
"A million dollars. Number one.
The greatest of all time."

01:34:37.839 --> 01:34:40.382
-You don't think that adds pressure?
-It add confidence.

01:34:40.466 --> 01:34:42.885
That's bullshit. It's about you.

01:34:42.969 --> 01:34:45.345
Now, look, you wanna jerk my chain,
go on and jerk it.

01:34:45.430 --> 01:34:47.139
But do not do it to those girls.

01:34:48.349 --> 01:34:50.642
Rick, all respects due...

01:34:51.311 --> 01:34:54.104
We love you.
You like a member of our family.

01:34:54.939 --> 01:34:57.232
But you work for us.

01:34:57.317 --> 01:34:59.067
-I wrote this plan.
-Plan.

01:34:59.152 --> 01:35:02.905
And when I say she's not playing,
she is not playing.

01:35:02.989 --> 01:35:06.700
I call the shots.
And I'm sorry if you don't like that.

01:35:07.869 --> 01:35:09.661
Richard, screw your freakin' plan.

01:35:10.705 --> 01:35:13.832
You don't know what you're doing.
You don't.

01:35:21.299 --> 01:35:25.886
That is a nice house, by the way.
Remind me, who pays for that?

01:35:25.970 --> 01:35:29.306
Don't do that. Don't do that.
You're a better man than that.

01:35:29.390 --> 01:35:31.433
[car starting]

01:35:33.019 --> 01:35:34.519
[tires screech]

01:35:52.747 --> 01:35:54.581
[Brandy] Are you going after her?

01:35:55.833 --> 01:35:58.168
-Uh, she'll be fine.
-No, she won't.

01:35:59.045 --> 01:36:00.545
Go fix this.

01:36:02.674 --> 01:36:05.467
I puts this whole thing together...

01:36:06.094 --> 01:36:08.512
and now everybody seem
to know better than me.

01:36:20.525 --> 01:36:24.361
Richard, do you think
you did this by yourself?

01:36:24.445 --> 01:36:28.991
From the first day we met.
Remember that? Out on that bus stop?

01:36:31.035 --> 01:36:33.161
You didn't even tell me your real name.

01:36:34.247 --> 01:36:37.291
'Cause you thought
I was just another dumb nigga.

01:36:38.668 --> 01:36:42.254
You just like them white boys.
You never believed in none of this.

01:36:42.338 --> 01:36:44.172
When did I not believe?

01:36:44.257 --> 01:36:46.758
Huh? I want you to tell me,
when did I not believe?

01:36:46.843 --> 01:36:48.927
You not the only dreamer in this family.

01:36:49.012 --> 01:36:50.652
Wouldn't be no dream if it wasn't for me.

01:36:50.680 --> 01:36:53.473
I carried them inside me and on my back.

01:36:53.558 --> 01:36:55.559
And I carried you, too.

01:36:55.643 --> 01:37:00.147
Working two shifts
so I could put food on your table.

01:37:00.231 --> 01:37:03.483
That open stance, you got that from me.

01:37:03.568 --> 01:37:06.403
Oh, you did that? Oh, okay.

01:37:06.487 --> 01:37:09.823
And I fixed Serena's serve
because you messed that up.

01:37:09.907 --> 01:37:11.158
-You did what?
-Yes.

01:37:11.242 --> 01:37:13.035
I fixed that toss
because you messed it up.

01:37:13.119 --> 01:37:14.786
-Mm-hm.
-I'm here. I've been here,

01:37:14.871 --> 01:37:17.331
dreaming and believing, just like you.

01:37:17.415 --> 01:37:19.333
-Mm-hm.
-You just don't wanna see me.

01:37:20.752 --> 01:37:23.503
So... uh, what you want?

01:37:24.589 --> 01:37:26.882
What you want?
You want a thank-you?

01:37:26.966 --> 01:37:29.760
[chuckles softly]
That's all right, Richard.

01:37:29.844 --> 01:37:31.644
That's all right.
I don't need your thank-you.

01:37:31.721 --> 01:37:35.515
Unlike you, I don't need the world
to tell me I'm great.

01:37:41.064 --> 01:37:44.399
See how you do?
You see what you just did?

01:37:44.484 --> 01:37:46.818
How you walk away
when something's not finished.

01:37:46.903 --> 01:37:48.570
-Come on. Come on.
-Did you just see that?

01:37:48.654 --> 01:37:51.782
You see that? That's what you do
with all your businesses.

01:37:51.866 --> 01:37:54.534
Remember the cement
company business...

01:37:54.619 --> 01:37:57.412
-Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
-...the cleaning company business.

01:37:57.497 --> 01:37:59.498
All your other kids.

01:38:00.291 --> 01:38:02.417
[Richard] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:38:02.502 --> 01:38:05.712
You sound like you got something
you need to get off your chest.

01:38:05.797 --> 01:38:07.691
Don't let God stop you.
Say what you need to say.

01:38:07.715 --> 01:38:09.299
Oh, I said it.

01:38:09.384 --> 01:38:14.262
Your son showing up in that
red Nissan truck, knocking on my door.

01:38:14.347 --> 01:38:19.393
And all you had to say was,
"Oh, look, it's my son. He found me."

01:38:19.477 --> 01:38:22.020
And then all your other kids
showing up after that.

01:38:22.105 --> 01:38:23.146
[Richard] Okay.

01:38:23.231 --> 01:38:25.482
[Brandy] See, another woman
would have left.

01:38:26.192 --> 01:38:29.194
But I stay because I don't quit.
You... [slaps counter]

01:38:29.278 --> 01:38:31.029
You're the one who leaves.

01:38:31.114 --> 01:38:33.198
Well, go ahead then. Go ahead. Don't--

01:38:33.282 --> 01:38:35.450
I'm gonna stay right here
until the job is done.

01:38:35.535 --> 01:38:36.804
Don't stay here doing me no favors.

01:38:36.828 --> 01:38:38.912
Richard, you think I'm staying here
because of you?

01:38:39.455 --> 01:38:41.248
I stay here because of my girls.

01:38:41.332 --> 01:38:44.918
I stay here because I answer to something
higher than Richard Williams.

01:38:45.002 --> 01:38:49.047
And you better be glad,
because if I was staying here for you...

01:38:49.132 --> 01:38:52.092
I would have been gone a long time ago.

01:38:52.176 --> 01:38:54.219
-Look at this house.
-I'm looking.

01:38:54.303 --> 01:38:56.183
-Look where you live.
-I'm looking! I'm looking!

01:38:56.222 --> 01:38:59.182
Where would you live if it wasn't for me?
Where would you be?

01:38:59.267 --> 01:39:02.102
Stuck in some apartment
with three kids and no daddy.

01:39:02.186 --> 01:39:04.604
That's where you would be.

01:39:04.689 --> 01:39:08.191
Listen to you.
That's your ego and your bragging.

01:39:09.360 --> 01:39:11.027
You're just scared.

01:39:12.405 --> 01:39:13.989
You're just scared.

01:39:14.824 --> 01:39:16.741
Scared you will fail.

01:39:17.410 --> 01:39:21.329
Scared that the world
will look at you and see...

01:39:21.414 --> 01:39:24.666
another dumb nigga.

01:39:26.002 --> 01:39:30.464
And you know what?
You think they might be right.

01:39:33.885 --> 01:39:39.097
I have never,
never thought that about you.

01:39:49.942 --> 01:39:51.776
You've done your job.

01:39:51.861 --> 01:39:55.363
And whether you wanna see it or not,
I've done mine.

01:39:55.448 --> 01:39:59.784
But this is Venus's life.
You gotta let her decide.

01:39:59.869 --> 01:40:05.123
Because if you don't trust her to do that,
she's gonna be the one leaving you.

01:40:17.094 --> 01:40:18.762
[grabbing arm]

01:40:20.598 --> 01:40:23.183
[Richard] Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

01:40:38.157 --> 01:40:41.409
[Venus grunting]

01:41:18.614 --> 01:41:20.407
So you wanna play?

01:41:22.326 --> 01:41:24.244
I don't know why you won't let me.

01:41:25.454 --> 01:41:27.205
Unless you think I'm not ready.

01:41:46.058 --> 01:41:49.978
When I was a little boy,
I grew up in Shreveport.

01:41:51.314 --> 01:41:53.023
One day my father took me to town.

01:41:53.608 --> 01:41:56.318
He give me this money
to pay this white man for something.

01:41:57.278 --> 01:42:01.781
Back in them days, Black folks weren't
allowed to touch white peoples.

01:42:02.867 --> 01:42:07.412
So I went to give the man this money,
and I accidentally touched his hand.

01:42:08.831 --> 01:42:10.749
And he start beating on me.

01:42:12.376 --> 01:42:14.085
He knocked me down,
his friends come over,

01:42:14.170 --> 01:42:17.255
they all start stomping on me
and beating on me.

01:42:18.466 --> 01:42:22.260
And I look up and
I see my father in the crowd...

01:42:22.345 --> 01:42:24.137
and he took off running.

01:42:26.390 --> 01:42:29.059
Left me there with these
grown men beating on me.

01:42:31.562 --> 01:42:34.189
Now, I haven't been no great daddy...

01:42:35.941 --> 01:42:39.152
but I've never done nothing
but try to protect you.

01:42:42.698 --> 01:42:46.201
This next step you about to take...

01:42:48.037 --> 01:42:50.789
...it would be hard for anybody.

01:42:52.291 --> 01:42:56.002
But for you...
You not gonna just be representing you,

01:42:56.087 --> 01:43:01.508
you gonna be representing
every little Black girl on earth.

01:43:03.636 --> 01:43:06.513
And you gonna be the one
gotta go through that gate.

01:43:08.099 --> 01:43:11.309
[voice breaking] And I just never
wanted you to look up...

01:43:13.854 --> 01:43:16.064
...and see your daddy running away.

01:43:21.445 --> 01:43:24.823
Daddy, you always said I'd be
number one in the world, right?

01:43:27.034 --> 01:43:29.661
Let's go out there and show
all of those people

01:43:29.745 --> 01:43:32.038
that I can handle what's coming.

01:43:33.916 --> 01:43:36.543
[voice shaking]
And I'm not gonna let you down.

01:43:37.712 --> 01:43:39.421
How could you, Junior?

01:43:43.843 --> 01:43:45.260
Come here.

01:44:15.541 --> 01:44:18.501
<i>Among them,</i>
<i>14-year-old Venus Williams,</i>

01:44:18.586 --> 01:44:22.005
<i>who takes the court</i>
<i>in her first-ever professional match.</i>

01:44:22.089 --> 01:44:26.050
<i>In fact, it will be the first match</i>
<i>Williams has played at any level</i>

01:44:26.135 --> 01:44:28.178
<i>in more than three years,</i>

01:44:28.262 --> 01:44:30.722
<i>since her father made</i>
<i>the controversial decision</i>

01:44:30.806 --> 01:44:33.641
<i>to pull her out</i>
<i>of Junior tournament tennis,</i>

01:44:33.726 --> 01:44:37.645

<i>will now fare under the pressure</i>
<i>and spotlight of the professional tour,</i>

01:44:45.654 --> 01:44:50.700
<i>against veteran players, after so long</i>
<i>away from competition.</i>

<i>"We gonna get there, we gonna get there."</i>

[jazzy jingle playing]

01:45:28.989 --> 01:45:30.490
[Rick] You did it, Richard.

01:45:30.574 --> 01:45:33.284
Last year there was 24 media credentials
for this tournament.

01:45:33.369 --> 01:45:36.412
-This year you got 200, so...
-[loud knock on door]

01:45:36.497 --> 01:45:38.016
-You know what? That's him.
-Okay. That's him.

01:45:38.040 --> 01:45:39.457
We should get Venus, right?

01:45:39.542 --> 01:45:43.211
-Guys, it's go time. Look alive.
-Come on. The man is here.

01:45:43.295 --> 01:45:47.423
-The Nike man here, y'all. Close that.
-This is it. Guys, you're gonna go there.

01:45:47.508 --> 01:45:50.760
-Yep. Get in your positions.
-Okay, you ready?

01:45:52.096 --> 01:45:53.865
-[Rick] Hey, Patrick, how you doing?
-[Patrick] Very well.

01:45:53.889 --> 01:45:55.784
-[Rick] How's Terri and the kids?
-[Patrick] They're good.

01:45:55.808 --> 01:45:58.728
-[Rick] Billy still playing baseball?
-[Patrick] Yeah, he's swingin' away.

01:45:58.769 --> 01:46:02.105
-Hello. Patrick. Nice to meet you.
-Richard Williams. This is Oracene.

01:46:02.189 --> 01:46:03.648
That's my wife, that's Brandy.

01:46:03.732 --> 01:46:05.502
-You know who that is.
-It's an honor to meet you.

01:46:05.526 --> 01:46:07.128
That's who you brought that briefcase for.

01:46:07.152 --> 01:46:09.279
[laughing] That's right. Yeah.

01:46:09.363 --> 01:46:10.864
[unlatches briefcase]

01:46:10.948 --> 01:46:12.532
Well, you had a long trip...

01:46:12.616 --> 01:46:14.492
-Mm-hm.
-...and a big day tomorrow,

01:46:14.577 --> 01:46:17.996
so I am not gonna take up
too much of your time.

01:46:18.080 --> 01:46:22.584
Now, I hope it is clear
how highly we regard your daughter.

01:46:23.168 --> 01:46:25.461
We'd like to take her
off the table right now.

01:46:26.213 --> 01:46:29.132
-That is three million dollars.
-Whoo!

01:46:29.216 --> 01:46:31.593
Signature shoe. Signature line.

01:46:31.677 --> 01:46:33.928
We want to build our women's brand
around Venus.

01:46:34.013 --> 01:46:36.639
Make her a marquee player.
How's that sound?

01:46:36.724 --> 01:46:38.516
[Richard] Well, I think, uh...

01:46:40.352 --> 01:46:44.105
Well, actually...
you need to be pitching her.

01:46:45.441 --> 01:46:46.983
[laughs]

01:46:47.067 --> 01:46:51.529
Well, Venus, what do you think?
I mean, that is a generous deal.

01:46:51.614 --> 01:46:54.949
It's a million more than Capriati
got before she went pro.

01:46:55.409 --> 01:46:57.702
Plus, a real commitment to invest

01:46:57.786 --> 01:47:00.997
in the charity and outreach programs
you and your family support.

01:47:01.081 --> 01:47:02.123
[Rick] That's great.

01:47:02.207 --> 01:47:04.876
We think you're gonna
have a tremendous career

01:47:04.960 --> 01:47:08.546
and we want to help you build it,
starting today.

01:47:17.556 --> 01:47:19.724
-Uh... [laughs]
-[laughter]

01:47:19.808 --> 01:47:22.143
-It's, uh...
-Yeah.

01:47:24.605 --> 01:47:27.482
-Um...
-[Rick] Uh...

01:47:27.566 --> 01:47:29.692
[Patrick chuckles lightly]

01:47:29.777 --> 01:47:32.487
Yeah, maybe...
maybe just have a minute.

01:47:32.571 --> 01:47:34.489
-You know, just let the family...
-Absolutely.

01:47:34.573 --> 01:47:36.282
-No problem, just for...
-Of course.

01:47:36.367 --> 01:47:39.202
Just to be clear,
this deal is for tonight only.

01:47:39.286 --> 01:47:42.830
It's off the table as soon as you step
on that court tomorrow, okay?

01:47:42.915 --> 01:47:44.976
-Take your time. Talk about it.
-[Rick] Patrick, listen, thank you.

01:47:45.000 --> 01:47:48.211
We'll just take a second.
There is a heck of a seafood buffet.

01:47:48.295 --> 01:47:51.631
Now, it's on the mezzanine level.
You don't want to hit one or two...

01:47:51.715 --> 01:47:54.717
[Richard] Just fix your face
till the man get out the door.

01:47:54.802 --> 01:47:56.094
What does he mean by that?

01:47:56.178 --> 01:47:57.948
-Just let the man get out the door first.
-[door closes]

01:47:57.972 --> 01:47:59.491
[Brandy] No, I want to know
what he means though.

01:47:59.515 --> 01:48:02.600
We gonna talk about it when he leaves.
Just let him get out the door.

01:48:02.685 --> 01:48:04.143
What is going on?

01:48:04.228 --> 01:48:07.730
I... What did he mean by,
it's one night only?

01:48:07.815 --> 01:48:09.876
-Tonight only?
-[Richard] Don't you worry about that.

01:48:09.900 --> 01:48:11.962
-I want to understand.
-He's just trying to scare us.

01:48:11.986 --> 01:48:14.089
[Rick] That's right. He's trying
to scare us, and guess what?

01:48:14.113 --> 01:48:15.238
I'm scared.

01:48:15.322 --> 01:48:17.634
[laughing nervously]
I'm frickin'-- I'm frickin' terrified.

01:48:17.658 --> 01:48:20.827
Guys, what... what is going on?

01:48:20.911 --> 01:48:24.038
Three million dollars.
What's the problem here?

01:48:24.790 --> 01:48:26.541
-[Richard] Rick, look...
-Let me see.

01:48:26.625 --> 01:48:28.501
They haven't even seen the girl play yet.

01:48:28.585 --> 01:48:30.336
[Rick laughing] Yeah, no, that--

01:48:30.421 --> 01:48:32.181
I mean, that's the point.
They don't have to.

01:48:32.214 --> 01:48:34.048
Richard, I... you did it.

01:48:34.133 --> 01:48:37.301
Hey! You did it, Richard.
Look, I thought you were nuts.

01:48:37.386 --> 01:48:39.595
All the talking and the interviews
and the nonsense.

01:48:39.680 --> 01:48:43.558
But look, you were right, she's a star.
Look at what it...

01:48:43.642 --> 01:48:47.770
We won! This-- Why is everybody so glum?
Please, guys?

01:48:47.855 --> 01:48:49.814
Oracene, please,
can you help me out here?

01:48:49.898 --> 01:48:51.816
[Brandy] You need to be talking to Venus.

01:48:53.444 --> 01:48:55.611
V? What's going on?

01:48:55.696 --> 01:48:56.738
[Venus exhales]

01:48:57.740 --> 01:48:59.782
I just want to show them what I can do.

01:48:59.867 --> 01:49:02.744
-Okay.
-I understand it's a good offer, but...

01:49:02.828 --> 01:49:05.913
This is not a good offer.
This is an unbelievable offer.

01:49:05.998 --> 01:49:08.624
Guys, this is money
that changes your lives.

01:49:08.709 --> 01:49:11.252
That changes your family's lives.
What do we...?

01:49:11.336 --> 01:49:14.881
Rick, you asking this girl to take all
the hard work she done did...

01:49:14.965 --> 01:49:17.800
-[scoffs] Richard, stop it. Stop it!
-Listen to me. Listen to me.

01:49:17.885 --> 01:49:20.595
All the hard work she done did
for the last ten years

01:49:20.679 --> 01:49:22.972
and accept the first offer
that come through the door.

01:49:23.057 --> 01:49:25.897
-You know that's not right, Rick.
-Richard, the draw's not even out yet.

01:49:25.976 --> 01:49:29.645
Rick. The girl is asking
for a opportunity to compete.

01:49:29.730 --> 01:49:31.939
We don't even know who she's playing.

01:49:32.024 --> 01:49:34.358
She don't care nothing about that.

01:49:34.443 --> 01:49:37.403
Venus Williams,
do you care who you play?

01:49:37.946 --> 01:49:39.280
No, Daddy.

01:49:39.364 --> 01:49:42.244
Venus Williams, are you gonna beat
whoever on the other side of that net?

01:49:42.326 --> 01:49:43.576
Yes, Daddy.

01:49:44.244 --> 01:49:46.996
Venus Williams,
do you wanna take this deal?

01:49:51.710 --> 01:49:52.710
No.

-Well, there it is.

-[resounding ball strike]
-[reporter] You were great tonight, Venus.

01:53:59.124 --> 01:54:01.667
Were you surprised
how you handled your nerves?

01:54:01.752 --> 01:54:04.253
I was somewhat surprised,
but somewhat not surprised.

01:54:04.338 --> 01:54:06.274
I guess since I haven't played
a tournament in a while,

01:54:06.298 --> 01:54:08.341
I was surprised that I wasn't
nervous or jumpy.

01:54:08.425 --> 01:54:10.217
Tomorrow you play the top seed, Vicario.

01:54:10.302 --> 01:54:13.304
She's number one in the world,
a three-time Grand Slam champ.

01:54:13.388 --> 01:54:15.014
How do you think you'll hold up?

01:54:16.600 --> 01:54:20.394
I think I have the game to beat anyone.
I just have to play it.

01:54:20.479 --> 01:54:22.897
-Also, I was wondering--
-That's enough. Real good questions.

01:54:22.981 --> 01:54:25.149
Let's go! Huh?

01:54:25.233 --> 01:54:28.194
What did you do out there?
I-- I couldn't believe it. It's like...

01:54:28.278 --> 01:54:31.489
-[laughing] Okay, Rick, I gotta go.
-It's like she's a... hired assassin.

01:54:31.573 --> 01:54:33.866
I mean, it's like, unbelievable.

01:54:33.950 --> 01:54:37.203
Richard, I talked to Dougherty.
He's upping the offer.

01:54:37.287 --> 01:54:39.663
Four million dollars, Richard.
Four million dollars.

01:54:39.748 --> 01:54:41.582
We did it. We did it, Richard.

01:54:41.666 --> 01:54:44.020
I think we just gonna keep our chips
on the table though, Rick.

01:54:44.044 --> 01:54:46.420
Wait, wait. Hey, Richard, no.
She's playing Vicario.

01:54:46.505 --> 01:54:47.940
She's the best player on the planet.

01:54:47.964 --> 01:54:50.925
She's the best player in the whole
wide world. She can't beat her.

01:54:51.009 --> 01:54:54.220
-But what if she do?
-Richard, it doesn't work like that.

01:54:54.304 --> 01:54:58.349
Oh, hey, Bud. Bud. Good to see you.
Still got them pretty pants on.

01:54:58.433 --> 01:55:00.370
You missed out on this money though.
I tried to tell ya.

01:55:00.394 --> 01:55:02.269
-[laughing]
-You know him?

01:55:02.354 --> 01:55:07.483
Rick, if she beats Vicario,
a 14-year-old who's never played a match,

01:55:07.567 --> 01:55:11.237
walks off the street and beats
the best player on the planet...

01:55:11.321 --> 01:55:15.574
forget Ali-Frazier, it'll be the greatest
upset in the history of sports!

01:55:17.869 --> 01:55:20.371

-Oh.
-Oh!

[muted laughter]

01:55:51.278 --> 01:55:53.571
Meek. Come on.

01:56:08.170 --> 01:56:12.965
I know you love Venus
and all this is exciting, but...

01:56:14.342 --> 01:56:16.469
...it's a little hard for you too, huh?

01:56:20.056 --> 01:56:22.141
Can I tell you a secret?

01:56:23.768 --> 01:56:29.064
Your sister is gonna be number one
in the whole world, no doubt about it.

01:56:29.149 --> 01:56:30.483
I know that.

01:56:31.234 --> 01:56:32.568
But you...

01:56:33.403 --> 01:56:36.155
You gonna be the best there ever was.

01:56:37.282 --> 01:56:40.326
You gonna be the greatest of all time.

01:56:41.703 --> 01:56:44.955
You know how I know?
'Cause I planned for it.

01:56:46.791 --> 01:56:50.127
I knew you was having
a hard time in Venus's shadow,

01:56:50.212 --> 01:56:52.546
but I kept you there
'cause I knew you was rough.

01:56:52.631 --> 01:56:55.549
I knew you was tough,
I knew you was a fighter.

01:56:57.177 --> 01:56:59.887
That's why I did
this whole thing like this.

01:57:03.808 --> 01:57:08.187
Go on, take that in. You're up next.

01:57:18.406 --> 01:57:20.407
Come on now. Move your feets.

01:57:21.243 --> 01:57:23.452

-Now, whatever happens tonight...
-[Venus laughing] Close. Close.

01:57:34.172 --> 01:57:37.675
-[Serena] Next time, ten.
-I want you guys to remember...

01:57:37.759 --> 01:57:41.095
that you come from
a rich history of people.

01:57:41.179 --> 01:57:44.014
Right? Like Sojourner Truth.

01:57:45.100 --> 01:57:47.101
-Remember her?
-[both] Yes.

01:57:47.185 --> 01:57:49.562
What did she say at Seneca Falls?

01:57:49.646 --> 01:57:52.565
-What did she say?
-[both laughing] "Ain't I a woman"?

01:57:52.649 --> 01:57:53.857
That's right. That's right.

01:57:53.942 --> 01:57:56.485
And what does that mean to you?
What does that mean to you?

01:57:57.195 --> 01:57:59.697
That she's strong,
and that she can do anything.

01:57:59.781 --> 01:58:00.906
[Brandy] Exactly.

01:58:00.991 --> 01:58:06.036
That she was a young Black woman,
just like you guys.

01:58:06.121 --> 01:58:10.791
And that she deserves to be seen,
and that she deserves to be heard.

01:58:11.751 --> 01:58:14.378
So, tonight I want you
to remember who you are,

01:58:14.462 --> 01:58:16.422
remember where you came from.

01:58:17.382 --> 01:58:19.800
Stand tall and be proud in that.

01:58:20.927 --> 01:58:22.303
All right?

01:58:24.264 --> 01:58:26.807
Yeah. You gonna look beautiful.

01:58:29.144 --> 01:58:30.978
