Do something!

I don't control the weather.

I just report it.

Well, who controls it?

The gods up on mt. Olympus, of course.

Oh...

Which one controls the rain?

This one, tasha, goddess of weather;

The most fearsome of all the gods.

Well, let's go ask her to make it stop.

Ask her to...?

We can't just go up there and ask!

Why not?

Because it might anger the gods

If we went up there.

Who knows what they'd do to us?!

Come on, it can't hurt to ask.

But-

Tyrone, you don't want it to rain all day,

Do you?

Well...

Basketball?

Pablo: yeah, basketball.

You challenge me

To a game of basketball?

Yes!

Hpmh!

(Thunder rumbles)

Tyrone: uh-oh.

I accept!

(Ball bounces heavily)

Let's see if you can keep up!

Tyrone: run, pablo!

Pablo: faster, tyrone!

Tyrone: (grunt of effort)

Keep up with her, pablo!

Tasha: (laughs)

Pablo: (grunts of effort) oh man!

Yeah! (Laughs)

Ha ha! You're no match for me!

Nobody can b*at the goddess of weather!

Uniqua: wanna bet?

(Laughs)

The god of laughter and the goddess of naps?

You know how to play basketball?

Yup! They taught us!

(Laughs)

Oh really?

(Gasp) (gasp)

And I bet we can b*at you.

What do you wanna bet?

If we win,

Then you'll make it stop raining

Down on earth.

Hmm... Okay.

And if I win...

If I win I will continue to make it rain...

Forever.

Pablo and tyrone: forever?!

Forever!

And you will never ever be able to play basketball...

Ever again! (Thunder rumbles)

Okay! You're on!

Whoever makes a basket wins the game!

Good luck!

Oof!

Oof.

Uniqua: over here!

I'm open!
