Joey

Wait a minute! I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabar. You played basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.

I'm sorry son, but you must have me confused with some-one else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.

Joey

You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.

I think you should go back to your seat now Joey. Right Clarence?

Capt. Oveur

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, he's not bothering anyone, let him stay here.

But just remember, my name is ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot.

Joey

I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defence. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.

The hell I don't!! ( grabs Joey by collar ) LISTEN KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
