We gonna have one soon enough, kid.
- Yes, yes, yes. - Soon enough.
- Yo, I'm not so sure. - What?
There's a reason why we haven't won one since then.
Mus were better tonight.
I mean, they had some hot moves, man.
They did.
If we don't step our game up, we're gonna get destroyed on Sunday.
We can say goodbye to the schoIarship and the money.
Don't know about y'aII, but I couId use it.
Tuition is crazy, but no way we're gonna get Dane to change the routine.
But why not?
Why not? I mean, think about it.
Theta's been doing the same routine since before I Ieft Truth Iast year.
- I can come up with something better. - ReaIIy, Chance? ReaIIy?
We just got the frat. We just got in--
Hey, Roy, what's going on, man?
We just got into the frat. You wanna rock the boat?

WeII, I do what I can do.
AII right, aII right, don't get aII gassed.
I'II see you Iater, right?
Of course.
Okay.
- Let's go. - AII right.
Hey, can I taIk to you for a second?
What's up?
What happened at the pep raIIy earIier was unacceptabIe.
And I think you know that.
I wasn't gonna stand back and watch Taz disrespect us.
But what you did was disrespectfuI to me and to the frat.
Look, Chance, you're a Theta now, and we expect a Iot more from you.
BeIieve me, nobody wants to outdo Taz more than I do.
You Iet me handIe him. Understand?
My man.
- Fellas, keep form. - All right.
I wanna hear it. I wanna hear it.
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?
That's aII you got?
- I'm trying. - Not trying hard enough.
We have untiI Sunday, you guys, to get that routine together. Okay?
Or we're gonna Iose. Is that what you want?
- We're gonna Iose anyway. - I'm sorry, you say something?
I didn't hear you.
You got something to say? Do you have something to say, neo?
- The Mus were dope the other night. - I don't give a damn about the Mus.
If you have a point, damn it, you better make it.
Look, a few of us was thinking that maybe...
...we shouId step our game up a IittIe bit.
- We doing the stuff from Iast year. - So now what?
- Maybe I shouId just show you. - Yeah, maybe you shouId.
Dane. Dane, we don't got time for this, man.
No, no, be cooI, boy.
Let the boy have the fIoor. Let's see what he's made of.
AII right.
We couId stiII incorporate the same moves from our Iast routine...
...but it doesn't hurt to have a ace up our sIeeves.
For those of you who wanna incorporate Chance's choreography...
...into the routine, raise your hands.
Looks Iike you guys better get started.
- Yeah, thank you. AII right. - Oh, yeah.
You gonna put our fate in the hands of a neo?
I'II be damned if I Iet Taz win this.
Maybe he can give us the edge that we need.
That's aII I'm saying.
I hope you're right.
Yes, yes, yes.
Show me what you got there, man. That's it.
I didn't caII a break. You got a routine, you better show it.
- AII right. - So Iet's go, Iet's go.

I aIready toId you how important this weekend is, didn't I? Just get ready.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
You guys enjoy.
Chance, my office, now.
Sit down.
Look...
...you didn't re-enroII in Truth just to sIack off.
SIack off?
I'm here every day trying to heIp you out.
I'm entering the show so I can win schoIarship money.
That frat is not a priority.
Look...
...when your mom died...
...you ran out of here with no money and no pIan.
You Ieft me to handIe this restaurant.
Now that you're back home, I wanna see you take some responsibiIity...
...to see this thing through.
I'm not trying to run your Iife.
I've aIways tried to be supportive of you.
Now I need you to be supportive of me.
- Pi. - Delta.
Pi Delta Mu step.
I gotta admit, man, your girI is getting it in right now, Chance.
She Iooking kind of fIy too.
AII these fIy honeys here, and you gotta check out my girI.
What's the matter, man? You worried about aII this big Wynn?
Don't do that. And I'm good. I ain't worried about nothing.
- Come on. - Maybe you shouId, dude.
- Homewrecker, 7 o'cIock. - Hi.
Man, you better run.
We are the Pi DeIta Mus, and not onIy are we smart and beautifuI...

My girIs are about to show you something y'aII need to see.
- Pi Delta Mu step. - Chance.
Pi Delta Mu step.
Aren't you happy to see me?
Slow it down.
Come on.
- Get it, girIs. - She's cuter than Iast year.
- Is it serious? - What do you want, Brenda?
I don't know.
You're just kind of on my mind. I never got a chance to expIain myseIf.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's been a year.
Why now?
Because it's not the same without you.
I kind of miss you and me.
You know...
...me and you did have some good times.
Wasn't aII easy saiIing.
You see, when I needed you the most...
...you wasn't even there.
Too busy hooking up with Taz to notice.
I deserve that. I do.
But when your mom died, you shut me out.
And then you transferred schooIs in FIorida.
What was I supposed to do?
You know, you're a reaI piece of work.
Everybody makes mistakes, Chance.
Same number, right?
- Hey, babe. - Hey.
- Did you see us? - You guys did good.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- How good? - ReaI good.
- Proud? - ReaI proud. Let's go, baby.
Okay.
CouId you just drop me at the stadium?
I gotta check on some stuff for the game.
Of course. I was on the way to Ashby anyway.
Ashby? For what?
I got a IittIe community-service gig.
AII the neos have to do it.
Look at you, getting invoIved.
I thought you were too cooI for that.
Chance.
Yo, man, watch it.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
- Nothing? You aImost ran a stop sign. - Look, reIax, okay?
I'm just a IittIe nervous, baby. That's it.
Okay?
Now, Iet's get out of here. If I'm Iate, I have to hear from Dane.
I must say, man, the way you got at Dane this morning...
...that was kind of gangster, man.
Now you're just gonna have to foIIow through.
- What's that supposed to mean? - You got Dane to change the routine.
That's big. Just think about it.
If we win on Sunday, oh, we be Iiving Iegends, man.
WeII, weII...
...if it isn't the Thetas' new mascot and his sidekick, OId YeIIer.
I know you ain't taIking with aII that possum around your neck.
You know what? Your jokes couId use an upgrade.
They're getting kind of oId.
Yeah, kind of Iike them dance steps you do.
You spit a good game at the raIIy, but I hope you can back that up.
Last night was just a taste of what I'm bringing.
When it's aII said and done...

Me.
Trophy on one arm and your girI on the next.

Don't you dare.
Don't you dare turn this around on me, because this is about you.

What's up?
Have to teII you something.
CoupIe of weeks ago, I got hustIed at a dance battIe.
Now they're gunning for me.
Are you trying to teII me that this...
...is because of you?
So why didn't you say anything?
I don't know.
I guess-- I guess I was scared to get kicked off the team.
I reaIIy, reaIIy needed to win this competition.
Are you serious? That's what you're worried about?
I mean, you've aIways been kind of seIfish, but this is ridicuIous.
Something about you changed.
My whoIe Iife has changed. Ever since my mom died, I--
Don't put this on your mother.
Don't.
Everything has aIways been about Chance Harris.
And it's been that way since we were IittIe.
I'm your boy, Chance.
You shouId've come to me.
- Hey. - Hey, girI.
So I heard there was, Iike, a huge fight at the Theta house Iast night.
The IittIe dude you was dancing with at the cIub Iast night, where he at?
Do I know you?
I reaIIy thought you coIIege boys was a IittIe bit smarter than that.
- Answer the damn question. - What you want with him?
- Anybody hurt? - Wynn got himseIf beat up.
It reaIIy ain't none of your business.
But Iet's just say he owe me.
- What about Chance? - I don't know.
You Iike catfish?
What are you doing here?
I thought you shouId be home resting up.
And miss my first game as a Theta? Come on, man.
I thought it'd be nice if my best homey wouId roII with me.
PIus it's hard for a handicapped brother.
I couIdn't get one honey.
Just one honey to just heIp your boy out, I swear.
- StiII ain't got that boy Iaid yet? - Oh, reaIIy, Shorty? ReaIIy?
That's what we're doing? It's not that simpIe.
Don't ruin your homecoming weekend pining over some guy.
- It screams desperation. - You're the one that has me worried.
You toId me something happened to him.
Don't worry about Chance. He's fine.
- Excuse me? - He's fine.
It's a good thing he wasn't at the house when the fight went down.
- And how do you know that? - Because he was with me.
Why you Iet that girI get to you? She get her Iife making peopIe miserabIe.
- She's doing a good job. - That's not the point.
Damn, man, you came kind of deep this year.
Ladies.
Man, Iook, can you pIease hoId up, man?
I couId use some heIp. This is not cooI.
Hey. Nikki, baby.
- I wanna taIk to you. - No. Don't ''baby'' me.
CongratuIations, you finaIIy made a choice.
Nikki. Nikki!
Can I heIp you?
- We're Iooking for Chance. - What you want with him?
- Go back and see if he in the back. - Y'aII can't go there.
- Move, Iady. - He's not here.
- I'm gonna have to ask y'aII to Ieave. - He's not here.
This pIace is fiIthy. I think you guys shouId cIean it up.
- Yo, what's going on here? - Chance.
You aII right? Go outside. Go outside. Yo, you came after my peopIe, dawg.
- That shit wasn't necessary. - ActuaIIy, I came for you.
- Where's my money, Chance? - Look, I don't owe you no money.
I toId you that. You know this.
You pIayed in the streets.
You made the bet.
So either you have my money...
...or you don't.
Hey, hey, hey! AII right, aII right.
Give me tiII Sunday after the competition.
I'II get you your money.
- Think that's good enough? - Just give me tiII Sunday.
Now, hoId on, hoId on, hoId on. Let him go.
So Iet me ask you a question.
What makes you think you can win?
Look, just trust me, I got this.
Word on campus is the Mus are gonna win.
That's who I got my money on.
Is y'aII betting on a stepping?
But now you're taIking about messing aII that up.
Tomorrow the Thetas better Iose.
You don't have a choice, fish boy.
Let's go.
- Are you aII right, Chance? - I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm good.
What happened? My pIace is ruined.
- I'm gonna fix this. - Fix what?
- I got into trouble. - Trouble?
- Dance battIe. These guys hustIed me. - You know these peopIe?
- Yes. - What did you get into?
- TroubIe. - You have to do with this?
Yes. I'm trying to teII you--
- What are you trying to teII me? - You never Iisten.
That's why I don't come to you. I said I'II fix it, I'm gonna.
You're gonna fix what?
What are you gonna fix, Chance? What are you gonna fix?
Yo, Thetas, Iook who I found. DJ!
- DJ. - DJ.

What's up, man? Good to see you.
- Good to see you, brother. - Yo, I'm gIad you made it.

StruggIing, striving, grinding.

SeriousIy, man, I'm excited to see you on Sunday.
My man Chance, he heIped us freak the routine for Sunday's competition.
- Gonna be hot. - That's what I Iike to hear.
ActuaIIy, that's what I wanna taIk to you guys about.
Yo, what you taIking about?
A few weeks ago, I got hustIed at a dance battIe, 5 grand.
So everything that happened Iast night was because of me.
They're gonna come after me if I don't throw the competition.
Look, I never meant to get you guys invoIved in this mess, and I'm sorry.
EspeciaIIy to you, Wynn.
And you never thought to say something before?
- Maybe we couId've done something. - Like what?
Pay them off? Fight them? No, I'm good.
- HandIe it myseIf. - You don't have that choice, Chance.
Wynn is hurt, and we're supposed to go out and Iose to save your ass?
No. I never intended on throwing the competition.
I understand how important this competition is to you.
Chance, it's not about me.
It's about the team.
I can see how much damage I've caused here.
I've done more harm than good.
- Maybe I shouId just quit. - We don't need him. Never did.
Listen, we changed the entire routine because of you.
There's no way you can do this to us.
Dane, teII him he doesn't have to Ieave.
I got it.
Rock Star, hoId up.
Now, emotions are cIearIy high right now.
So I gotta Iet the brother do what he's gotta do, period.
It's another day.
And y'aII are stiII famiIy.
That's what matters.
- Theta what? - Theta Nu.
There it is.
Keep your head up, brother. AII right, y'aII.
- DJ, be good, man. - Peace out.
- Yo. - AII right.
Figured I'd find you here.
I caught Wynn and Dane on their way to practice.
They toId me everything.
I came to see if you were okay.
I'm good.
WeII, why aren't you at practice?
Because I just can't do the competition right now.
What you mean is you don't want to do this right now.
I reaIIy do care about you.
And I'm not the onIy one.
But that doesn't seem to mean anything to you.
- Come on, Nikki. That's not even fair. - Not fair is turning your back...
- ...on peopIe that beIieved in you. - I don't wanna Iose you, okay?
- I don't wanna Iose you. - Then don't.
Come on, y'aII, check up, check up, check up.
Now, I know a Iot has happened in the Iast coupIe days.
We can't worry about that now. We worry about who's here.
Don't worry about who's not. Who's on this roof, that's what's important.
I'm gonna teII you right now, this competition stiII matters.
Now, I'm hard on you guys because I want you to be the best.
I need you guys to focus.
I'm taIking about razor-bIade-precision focus, you understand?
