* Making Maya *

Mom are you ready?

Mom?

Mom are you ready?

Mama what are you doing?

Baby your mama needs a little help

I'm wet... l... I wet myself again

The longer l live, the more
I realize the impact...

...of attitude on life'

Attitude to me is more
important than facts

Where is she, why isn't she here yet



She'll be here, she probably just
got her period or something

She'll be here

You think so?

Sara, just stop worrying
about it she'll be here

God this gum is getting old

Ssshh!

Oh don't swallow it, you'll get diarrhea

What am I supposed to do with it?

Life is only 10% of what happens to
you and 90% of how you react to it.

Baby please don't be mad at me

Mom I'm not mad at you

Baby you're so beautiful

I used to look like you when l was your age

You're so dressed up



Baby where you goin'? Are you going
to a party with all your friends?

No mom

Where you goin'?

I'm not going to a party

She's not here

What?

She's not here

Don't wing it! In school you get the lesson
then you take the test.

In the real world your going to be
tested and the lesson are going to follow.

Aren't you asleep already?

Yeah, she's sleepin'

So you guys look cute

We got you this

Move your butt, I'm laying down

Did you take pictures at least?

Did I miss anything?

Did that one guy flash everyone
like he said he was going to?

No, most definitely not

He chickened out! All talk.

So you wanna go out tonight?

No, l would but l have to finish
those college applications

I don't even know where
I'm gonna go yet, I mean...

...it's kind a hard to get in when...

...your high-school doesn't even
have abasketball team!

Yeah

Well why don't you
fill them out tomorrow?

Come out with us tonight.
It well be fun. I promise.

She just wants you to get laid

Yeah, that's it

What is this infatuation
with me getting laid?

I don't know, ask Sara

There's no infatuation with you getting laid

l just think your yoo-ho
wants some fun tonight!

Well may be if you hada good
chat name. It's all in the chatname

Oh, what's your chatname?

Yeah, Donkey-lova-that's pretty freaky

We got dad's check

We haven't gotten anything from
Ed McMahonin a while though

Must be on his shit-list

Bills...

There's an add for
Jesus Christ-God that guy has great PR

The toilet's not flushing again

Ok I got it

So I got you those chicken
things that you like

And then I got some new shampoo

It's cheaper. It still smells good though

Ma l didn't get you any

l thought we could try tonight without some

I'm such a bad mom

I'm such a bad mom

You're not a bad mom

Shh...

I promise...

I love you

Hey Maya! Miss graduatin' girl!

Oh my god I'm so proud of you!

Look at Mars thinkin'
he's all smooth and shit

That man's been findin' an
excuse to touch your ass all day

Give me a hug, congratulations

Ok back up that's enough

Hey who's this?

Oh this is my boy Mo, Mo this is Maya

Sorry, he's actually kinda deaf,
you have to excuse him.

We grew up together...

Is he better at basketball than you?

Has to be

Let's play!

Bro, put your money where
your mouth is then

Bet $20

Bet $40

You don't got $40 man

My boy got $40

You don't got $40

My boy got it, wanna bet it?

You got 40 bucks?

We got it, put your money
where your mouth is punk

You taught me that

That's my girl

Timeout

Y'all get a room or something, man!

Quit being a girl, you're hair's fine

Oh my god, does he look like he's
fixing his hair?

Playball!

Ya'll look like Amos and Andy

Puff Daddy and Christina Aguilera

Some things never change Zima

You could move to Siberia and
you wouldn't beat us

Hey you wouldn't have
won without her though

Go get the Ball!

You could've brought
Michael Jordan to the court

and you'd still get waxed

Of course you're used to that now right?

Yeah whatever, I'll see you
here next time man

You're soft dude, you're soft

You let a girl beat you man,
go get me some water

Hey so what we gotta do
is work on your jumper

So when you play with those
big girls up in college,

they won't know what hit 'em.

All you have to do, is get
your elbow in it, right?

And work on your back-spin so it takes
the pressure off your forearm

So it's just like that everytime

Let's see it

Oh my God! That's beautiful, that' a girl

Yup, that's it.

Yeah!

Man, I'm gonna miss
you a lot when you leave

Dude l don't know if l'm leaving yet

You don't know if you're leaving?

Well I haven't gotten accepted anywhere

Here's the thing, colleges...

they look for what high-school you went to,
how many state, how may regionals

Where you've gone with
basketball-I don't have any of that shit

I mean my school doesn't even
have a fuck'n girls' basketball team

Maya all of that doesn't matter l mean

You're meant for more than this,
don't you just feel it?

Like you're better than this?

Yeah l feel it, but l don't know...
The way my luck is!

Maya baby, life is 99% heart,
right? And 1% luck

You got a lot of fuckin' heart,

we just gotta work on
your broke-ass jumper

My jumper is not broke-ass

Let's see it

Give me my money

Double or nothing

What do you mean?
I'm getting tacos tonight.

Don't know what your eating!

Who had the bagel?

Lt was me, thank you

Anything else?

Thank you

Ok, so they're pretty much filled out

Shocking

meeting up this weekend

We talked on-line forever

L feel like I've met you before

I swear l was just thinking
that in my head

Here, try my drink

So I guess I can take a hint

l just thought l should let you know,
Maya...

basketball player huh?

That was funny

How you doin' Sam. I'm Zima

And that fool right there is Lamar,
we call him Mars.

He's about to get his ass whopped

Alright, enough of your stallin', who has
a quarter? Let see who'll get the ball.

I got a quarter

Alright, make that shit count

Heads

Tails, our ball

Alright be careful, she
might try to psych you

out in the paint and
shoot with herleft hand

But just pass the ball to uncle
Zima and we'll be all right

By the way Sam, why don't you
provide me with your digits

So we can got out for a night in the town,
take you to a little dinner, little movie

Right

You know, so we can have some fun,
would you like that?

See girls like when I talk all
sophisticated and stuff like that so

Are you one of them type girls too?

No, huh-uh

Really?

Hey who's your girl, she's
got a bad-ass jumper

I have no idea, I got her though

She likes to bank them when she can so
make sure you got the rebound off that

Look at you all Phil Jackson-like,
I love it when my baby gets serious

We win again, we win again

Good game, good game

lt was nice meeting you young lady

Yo let me holla'at you for a minute

You put some good ones in by the way

Thanks, you too - May right?

Maya, yeah

So who will you play for next year?
Or do you already play for somebody?

I'm actually still sending in applications

Do you play?

No, but a bunch of my friends
up in Washington...

They play for the Red Hawks,
that's where I go

I don't really have time to
take it serious you know?

You can't imagine not having time
for basketball right?

Nope!

Excuse me, excuse me - so
how 'bout that phone number?

You know, so we can go
out on a date, get a little coffee,

or go to the movies or somethin'

Actually l have a boyfriend

You've got a boyfiend?

Yeah, thanks though

You got a boyfriend, ain't that some shit

Ok, you'll see, you'll want me
want day when I make it to the big leagues

'Cause I'm drinking milk

Yo, she likes me man

What happened?

Well she was gonna give me her
phone number but l didn't have a pen

So she's gonna give it to
Maya to give to me

Right, for when you make
it to the big leagues

Yeah, no doubt! Let's go
get something to eat.

Hey

Hi

So what's it like playing in college?

Well my friends love it,
but it's a lot of hard work

I hardly seet hem anymore

Yeah, it's a lot of competition huh?

Oh yeah, but that's like all they ever do

Oh my gosh, they're the type
that eat raw eggs in the morning

I'd rather stick to pre-med

Pre-med? Your parents put
you up the that one or?

Your boyfriend in it or something?

Yeah? Which one?

A little of both actually

My boyfriend Benny, he's
in the pre-med program here

And my parents live here so,
I come visit whenever l can

Yeah, he didn't think it would be a good i
dea for both of us to be in the same program

Probably thinks you'd do better than him

You think?

Look at the car...

it's so perfect

You never see anything like that over here

I bet it's a mid-life crisis thing

Or may be some rich,
snotty kid's parents bought it for them

You know, didn't spend
enough time with them

Yeah, you're probably right

I gotta go, see you around

Are you gonna eat all that?

You told me you're on a diet

Benny

I'm just holding you accountable

You asked me to

I dropped off the Portland
State application today

They have a really strong team, so
I don't know if l'll get on but

I'm actually getting used
to be rejected, isn't that sick?

All I need is just one
try-out-one freakin' try out

Well anytime team would be
grateful to have you on it sweetie

Want me to go talk to them?

Ma...

No I'm serious

Remember when l talked to
the little league coach

when he wouldn't let
you on the guys' team?

He still didn't let me on

So? Did that matter?

Mom, what are you doing?

L just need it to wash down the food

God damn it!

You know l am still your
mother, and I'm no thurting

anybody, and why don't
you live your own life!

Hey, I thought l might find you here

Hey

Are you gonna play?

L wish I could, I'm still
sore from the other day,

I can barely move my right arm

Wow

I actually just wanted to give you think back

You came here to give me my quarterback?

It's yours isn't it?

L was wondering what l was gonna
do about gas money this week

Sorry, that was really bad

No, no, it was cute

May be just one game?

Come on!

I always bring an extra
pair of shorts, but...

There you go

Interesting

You don't like 'em? Don't
diss my lucky shorts

I actually had them on the first time l beat
Mars one on one, lt was like 8th grade.

Ok, can you cover me?

Yeah!

So, you've known Mars for a while!

Yeah, we grew up together. I used
to go to grade-school with him

He was two grades ahead of me, but...

He used to look out for me...

I used to get picked on a lot, l was this
scrawny kid with glasses. I was a mess

Uhh!

Yeah he used to walk me home everyday...
He's been my best friend eversince

Have you ever?

No, no, he's like my brother

Plus he's always got these women after him
and... I'm not really his type, you know!

Yo Maya, let's go, come onl

I'll be there in a sec

Sorry

That's ok... I think, umm... my bra's loose

l think the strap is broken or something

You want me to look at it?

Um, actually, if you could?

Oh yeah, you're buckle's broken

That's what l get for not doing laundry

I could tighten it to the next notch but...
would that be too tight?

Yeah probably... You know what?
Don' tworry about it, it's fine...

Actually, here wait... Holdon!

L think this will work

It's all right! Thanks

These shorts...

Maya are you done yet? Let's go!

The toilet's not flushing again

Mom... Did you love dad?

Love him? No! But he loved me.
I was great in bed

Mom!

L was like a tiger

Have you ever had a crush on someone?
Like, someone you may be

Like, someone you may be
shouldn't have had a crush on?

What, like a priest?

No mom, not like a priest

Good, 'cause I heard they
were terrible in bed

I had a crush once... It was the
most beautiful feeling in the world

l was around your age

I couldn't wait to see him

I hadt hese feelings in my stomach...
I had a

smile. I couldn't wipe
the smile off my face

And then one day, his parents
died in a car crash.

He was never the same again

And l never saw him again after that...

I wish I could have a crush
for the rest of my life.

I never felt that way before, or ever since

I'm gonna make things better mom

I'm gonna be big some day... We won't
worry about fixing the God damn toilet...

So Maya, where's your girl at?

What girl?

You know, the one we played
ball with last time?

That one?

Yeah!

I don't know!

Did she talk about me?

No!

Come on nothin'? She didn't
say anything about me?

I know how you girls talk
about us behind our back

You're so fuckin' relentless
