Dot Com: Want to go to Vegas and buy a bunch of sarcophagi.
Tracy: Nah, I don’t even use the ones I have.

[Grizz and Dot Com laugh]
Tracy: Woah Who just killed me?! That’s never happened before!
Kenneth: I did, Mr. Jordan!
Tracy: That’s impossible! I beat all the world’s best players; Grizz, Dot Com, my publicist, my stylist.
Kenneth: Well I’ve just killed you again!
Tracy: You’re cheating! And I don’t want to play no more! I hate this! Grizz, I think it’s best you come sit on me.

Dot Com: Yo, Kenneth, we need to talk, man.
Kenneth: Oh, I’ve had this conversation before. You’re marrying my mom, aren’t you?
Dot Com: No! it is about how you treat Tracy. You’ve beaten him at Halo, you are not laughing at his jokes. He is the King around here, you got to respect that!
Kenneth: OMG, I had no idea I was causing a problem
Tracy walks in
Tracy: Hey, I got next game. Hold up. How are you beating Kenneth, Grizz?
Grizz: I don’t know.
Tracy: If you can beat Kenneth, and Kenneth can beat me. Then by the transitive property you should beat me too. Have you been letting me win?

Tracy: Things? Plural?!!

Tracy: Ahhh. Damn it. Close, right? I feel like I’m above the rim. Can’t palm the ball.
Kenneth: Sir, I think you made a mistake firing Grizz and Dot Com. They just want to make you feel better about yourself
Tracy: They disrespected me!
Kenneth: But don’t you miss them?
Tracy: You’re the only one I can trust, K. You’re my whole entourage now.
Kenneth: Sigh, I am not so sure I can handle that.
Tracy: Yes, you can. Because you were honest with me. I don’t need a couple of yes men. I need the truth.
Kenneth: Well, if that’s the case, then you should know that you’re never going to dunk this basketball. Also that Oscar you have is made of chocolate. And that lady you European kissed last night, is actually a gentleman.

Tracy: OK! That’s enough. Kenneth: Mr. Jordan, Keith called on your cell, he said they were at the thing and little Zay just ended up running
Tracy: What did you tell him?
Kenneth: Well he wanted Dwayne Jr’s number and I just gave it to him
Tracy: You did what? Damn it, K. Now I have to hear from Tenisha’s momma how they both met at the Twins. You have to handle this stuff better.
Kenneth: Mr. Jordan I don’t know any of these people
Tracy: -But, Grizz would have…
