Tin Cup (1996)

Post by bunniefuu »

* Met her in a border town *

* We proceeded to get down *

* She turned me on *

* I dropped the telephone *

* Moonlight
hits the rio grande *

* And the touch
of her hand *

* It makes me high *

* Like the fourth of july *

* A bad bandito
came into town *

* Man, I'm gonna hunt
that gringo down *

* But these words
keep ringin' in my ears *



* Little bit
is better than nada *

* Sometime you want
the whole enchilada *

* Little bit
is better than nada *

* A little bit
or nothin' at all *

* Slick and cool
was not her style *

* Turistas there,
they drove her wild *

* The border's the place *

* Put on a brand-new face *

* Me and the boys
were just in town *

* Shake 'em up
and roll 'em down *

* I guess it was fate *

* I hope I wasn't too late *

* Bad, bad boys
was on our trail *

* Federales want us
all in jail *

* But these words keeps
ringin' in my ears *

* Little bit
is better than nada *

* Sometime you want
the whole enchilada *

* Little bit
is better than nada *

* A little bit
or nothin' at all *

Oh, man.

Hey, you derelicts,
you know what
time it is?

Yeah. What's up?

It is bug
betting time,
all right?

First bug to get
fried wins $2.00.

I got this green one
right there.

All right, earl jackson,
let go of the money

In order for it
to be a bet.

All right,
come to daddy.

All right. Round
and round she goes.

Where she stops,
nobody--number 2!

Aah! Winner! Winner!

* A little bit
is better than nada *

* Sometime you want
the whole enchilada *

Any of you shitheels
ever get bored?

Huh?

You ever get bored?

[Chuckling]

I got a riddle.

You got a riddle?

Takes about
two ounces of brains
to figure it out.

Anybody think
they got a brain

With two ounces
of brain in it?

There's a rumor
earl does.

Well, for christ's sakes,
boys, come on,

A little self-confidence
from the players' gallery,
all right?

We ain't talking
long division.

Earl: how much
we got to lose?

You want to liven
things up, earl?

That's a hell
of an idea.

So everyone puts in
20 bucks.

Pot goes to whoever
solves the riddle.

You're gonna get
the riddle, tin cup.

Dewey, I'm the one
asking the riddle.

I already know
the answer, ok?

I don't get a guess.

All right.

Although we could say
if I get to 500 bounces

On the old wedge here

And no one
gets the riddle,

I get the pot.

Now, I know
what you're thinking.

You're thinking it's
an impossible riddle.

Well, it's not.
It's an easy riddle.

And if somehow,

By the grace
of fluke luck,
I win,

And y'all don't
agree that it was
an easy riddle,

Well, then, hell, uh,

I'll refund your money.

I'm in!

All right!
Earl: money
in the bank.

I'll hold the money.
Come on. Give it up.

Now, a man's driving
down the road with his son,

And he gets in a crash.

Two ambulances come

And take the man and his son
to different hospitals.

Ok? Different hospitals.

Son goes into the operating
room, all right?

The doctor looks
at him, says,

"I can't operate
on this boy."

He's my son.

Now, how
is that possible, hmm?

How is that possible?

Clock's ticking, fellas.

Earl: the father's still
over at the other hospital.

I mean, he didn't
sneak back in, right?

This ain't
star trek, earl.

Nobody beamed him aboard.

All right. What about
if the father married
the son's daughter?

This is
a family riddle, earl.

You gotta think
clean thoughts.

Give us
a little hint.

Roy: you want a hint, clint?

Clint:
little hint.

All right.

Woman:
the doctor's a woman.

The doctor's a woman.

See, the doctor's
the son's mother.

Feminists
posed the riddle

To reveal how deeply our
sexual stereotypes run.

I, uh, take it
you're a feminist.

[Men snicker]

Ma'am, I've been called
a lot of things before,

Never been saddled
with that one.

Well, you might try
being saddled sometime:

Smell of leather,
sting of a whip.

Mercy.
Ooh!

Well, I'm just
a humble golf pro.

Could I help you?

You're roy mcavoy,
the golf pro?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, well,
I pictured something,
uh, different.

I have a 7:00 lesson.

I thought I had
a dr. Griswold.

Um...

That's me.

Ok.

First thing
you got to learn
about this game, doc,

Is it ain't
about hitting some
little white ball

In some yonder hole.

It's about inner demons:

Self-doubt,
human frailty,

And overcoming
all that crap.

Oh, yeah.

So what kind of doctor
did you say you were?

I'm a psychologist.

In layman's terms
call me

Neo-jungian,
postmodern, freudian,
holistic, secularist.

Ok.

I mean, inner demons
and human frailty,

Well, that's my life's work.

I used to practice
in el paso,

But I moved here now.

What is all this stuff?

Oh, I ordered all this
from the golf channel.

It's a--
it's a waste of money.

Well, no, I'm--
look, I'm sure

That there are some excesses
and repetitions here,

But I believe in
the gathering of knowledge,

And I thought, you know,
there must be some truth

To the golf swing illustrated
by some of these devices,

And that you would just
kind of help me, you know,

Sort through it all.

I have dozens of golf
videotapes, too.

I'll bet
she's got
a golf watch.

You got a golf watch?

Yeah. I think I got
a pretty good one.

Right there.

Well, take it off.

Take it off?

All of it, right now.

Just--all of it now.

You're a smart woman,
for christ's sakes,
right?

Jeez.

Don't you know
the work of hustlers
when you see it?

Well, no.

I mean, I can always tell
when someone's lying
to himself, ok?

But I'm quite susceptible
and frequently wrong

When that person
lies to me.

I mean, christ, this stuff
cost me over $200.

Well, it's $200 of sh*t.

Well, that's just great.

Why don't we do this
the old-fashioned way?

Just go take a swing.

All right.

Ok.

Come on.

Excuse me.

Oh!

f*ck.

Well, you talk
like a golfer.

That's
a pretty girl

To have such
an ugly swing.

Oh! God!

Oh, that hurt.

sh*t!

f*ck. sh*t.

Those are highly
technical golf terms.

You're using them on
your very first lesson.

This is promising.

Ok, wise-ass.

Show me.

Just go ahead.

[Sighs]

Something like that.

That's impressive.

You know, look, I tend
to process things verbally,

So do you think you
could break down into words

How you just did that?

You mean,
what is the golf swing
by roy mcavoy?

Well, I tend to think
of the golf swing
as a poem.

Oh, he's doing that
poetry thing again.

Critical opening phrase
of this poem

Will always be the grip,
which the hands unite

To form a single unit
by the simple overlap
of the...

Little finger.

Right.

Lowly and slowly...

The club head
is led back,
pulled into position,

Not by the hands,
but by the body,

Which turns away
from the target,

Shifting weight
to the right side

Without
shifting balance.

Tempo is everything,
perfection unattainable.

As the body coils now
to the top of the swing,

There's
a slight hesitation,

A little nod
to the gods,

Uh, a nod to the gods?

Yeah.

To the gods.

That he is fallible.

Perfection
is unattainable,

And now the weight
begins shifting
back to the left,

Pulled by the powers
inside the earth.

It's alive, this thing,
a living sculpture,

And down through
contact, always down,

Striking
the ball crisply...

With character.

A tuning fork goes off
in your heart,

Your balls.

Such a pure feeling
is the well-struck
golf sh*t.

And then
the follow-through
to finish,

Always on line.

The reverse "c"
of the golden bear.

The steelworker's
power and brawn of
carl sandburg's...

Arnold palmer!

Oh, he's doing
that arnold palmer
thing.

And the unfinished
symphony of roy mcavoy.

Um...

What?

What's unfinished?

Well, I have
a short follow-through,

Has an unfinished look.

Why?

Well, some
say it's because
that's the easiest way

To play through
the winds of west texas.

Some say it's because
I've never finished
anything in my life.

You can decide,
but the point is

Every finishing position
is unique.

Huh.

That's what the golf
swing's all about.

It's about gaining
control of your life

And letting go
at the same time.

Jeez, louise.

There's only one other
acceptable theory

About how to hit
a golf ball.

Oh, boy. Well,
I'm afraid to ask.

Well, what is it?
What's the other theory?

Grip it and rip it.

[Molly chuckles]

Well, you know, um...

While I do appreciate
your poetic sensibility,
mr. Mcavoy.

Call me roy, molly.

Well, call me dr. Griswold,
roy, but at this point,

I really thing I'm more
of the grip-it-and-
rip-it school.

Well, then,
let's tee it up.

All right, waggle.

Waggle.

No, no, look.

He's got her
waggling now.

Earl: oh, lord.

Waggle the clubhead.

Ok?ah.

It's a little relaxing
ritual we do, ok?

Ok.

Just waggle it.

[Men snicker]

Waggle it and let
the big dog eat.

What big dog?

The driver,
the number 1 wood.

Well, this is metal.

Yeah. Well,
woods are metal.
Don't worry about it.

The driver's
known as the big dog.

I'm just saying,
"let him loose.
Let 'er rip.

Let the big dog eat."

Ok.

Ok.

Eh-heh.

Oh!

Oh.

You know, this is
without a doubt

The stupidest, silliest,
most idiotic grotesquery
masquerading as a game

That has ever
been invented--

Ever.
Yes, ma'am...

And that's
why I love it.

Now, you hit
one good sh*t, ok?

Ok? One,
and that tuning fork
rings in your loins...

You can't wait
to get back.

Try it again.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I think
the big dog just
ate something there.

Mm-hmm.

Did that tuning fork
ring in your loins?

Well, I wouldn't
go that far.

Well, I always say
quit on a good sh*t.

We'll call that
lesson number one?

Well, oh, ok.

And, um...

If you wouldn't mind
paying me in cash?

There's a little situation
I'm dealing with
with the irs, ok?

Mm-hmm.

With those guys,
I gotta bob and weave
around the facts of life,

If you know what I mean.

Yeah. Look, can I
ask you a question?

If you're such
a legendary striker
of the golf ball,

As everyone says,
then why are you,
at your age,

Out here in
the middle of nowhere

Operating a barely
solvent establishment,
ducking the irs,

Collecting
a few pathetic dollars

To buy your
next six-pack

When you're capable
of so much more?

Perhaps I'm chock full
of inner demons.

No.

Hmm?

You're chock full
of bullshit.

Anyway...

Same time next week?

What do you mean I should
try being saddled sometime?

Were you being literal,

Or was that some
freudian type of deal?

Molly?

Doctor?

What kind of saddle?

[Car honking]

[Honk]

David simms.

What the hell
you doing here, man?

Hey there, romeo.

Been a while, hasn't it?

Yeah.

Tin cup around?

Uh, no.

He's in, um, houston
on business, you know.

Anyway, I thought you
were supposed to be on
the big pro golf tour.

Well, you tell tin cup
that I'm in town

For my big charity
best ball tournament.

I got a spot for him

If he ever gets back
from, uh...

Uh, uh, houston.

Yeah. Wherever.

Well, uh, I thought
you hated him, man.

Hell, I haven't even
thought about him
in a dozen years.

Heh heh heh.

Not since
the good old days

At the university
of houston

When we won all them
titles together.

God almighty.

Well, he says he
carried you on his back
all them years, man.

Well, I didn't have much
craft back then, romeo,

Just a little
native ability.

Now, old roy, he's
a helluva ball striker,
isn't he?

What do you want, man?

I want to win my own
tournament, romeo.

Bet you do.

Now, old roy,
he can help me

If we can manage to behave
like grown-ups together.

Yep. You
never know, huh?

You tell him that.

Yeah. I'll be
sure to tell him.

So what's the--

What's the catch, david?

Hello, cup.

There is no catch.

I put together
this little tournament,

An elite field of players,

And a half-million
dollar purse,

And, by god, I'm tired
of seeing the money
head out of town.

Make more birdies.

Yeah. Well...

That's where you
come in, partner.

I need you on my team.

Well, I repeat.
What's the catch?

We're playing cottonwood,
where you once sh*t a 59.

Where you can
still sh**t 65
in your sleep.

Because you know every bump
on every fairway

And every subtle break
on every green.

Hot tub, roy?

It's a spa.

Ha ha ha!

You and me at cottonwood.

Kind of like
the old days,
isn't it?

Ha ha ha!

Yeah, well,
put 'er there, partner!

These two homeboys
are gonna show the world

What golf in west texas
is all about.

Hell, I'll be a g*dd*mn
birdie-making machine
for you out there.

Oh, whoa. Whoa, wait
a minute there, roy.

Hell, I didn't mean
I wanted you to play
with me.

I want you
to caddy for me.

You know, read
the greens, club me,
that kind of stuff.

Que te lleve la chingada,
cabrón, qué caddy
ni qué nada.

Caddy?

Come on, roy.

Hell, I can't
bring a guy in
off the street

To play
in my tournament.

I mean, for christ's
sakes, guys,

This has become
a big-time event.

Hell, I got
corporate sponsors,
30 bucks a ticket.

This guy off the street

Could kick your ass
on the golf course
anytime, man.

He kicked your ass
in junior golf,

Just like he kicked
your ass in university--
no. f*ck it, man.

I'll give you 100 bucks
for the loop.

And 5% of
any earnings, roy.

Get the hell out
of here, man,

And take your pinche
color-coordinated,

Corporate-sponsored
chingada

And take a flying f*ck
on the rolling--

Romeo.

I got it, man.
Don't worry about it.

[Clearing throat]

Well, I was just trying
to offer you some work.

Romeo: yeah.
Thank you
very much.

David?

Yeah?

I'll take the job.

Yeah. We'll
take the job.

* Flat broke *

* And busted *

* Just don't seem fair *

* The man in heaven *

* Don't hear my prayer *

* And these dice
are loaded *

* But I still can't win *

* Flat broke and busted *

This looks like it
might be a little more

Than you got
in the bag, partner.

Roy: I could make that.

* All crapped out a-- *

sh*t.

* Gain *

Is he on?

He's on.

Pretty good shape,
too.

Romeo: my guy
could do it.

I've seen him
do it lots
of times,

And you have
extra-large
huevos.

Man: hit it!

Woman: oh!

Oh!
Oh!

sh*t!

f*ck that!

I told you that was more
than you had in your bag.

sh*t, I had to, partner.

I mean, your damn caddy
came by and told me

That he'd get on
the green from here.

I could.

Heh heh heh!

I got to hand it
to you, roy.

For 15 holes,
you seemed to grasp
the concept here.

See, I'm trying to
win this tournament,

And your job
is to help me.

Give me the 7-iron.

I'm gonna lay up.

David, you can
make that sh*t.

Hell, I can make
that sh*t, easy.

I know I can make
this g*dd*mn sh*t,

But the smart play
is to lay up.

These people
didn't pay 30 bucks

To see a tour star lay up
on a short par 5.

I'm sitting
on a 2-sh*t lead
with 3 to go.

Thanks to you,
my partner's
in his pocket.

Suddenly, par's
a helluva number to me.

13 Years on the tour,
you're still a p*ssy.

God damn it, david.
Just hit the f*cking 3.

Hit it.

13 Years
on the driving range,

You still think
this game is about
your testosterone count.

Now, back up.

230 To carry and
the tour stars lay it up.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

So simms,
from the rough,

That's a smart play.

[Crowd applauds]

Hey, david, you
in a hurry or what?

Why?

I got a pile of nickels
in the car

That your caddy can
knock it on from here.

Come on, guys.

We're trying to win
a tournament here.

Yeah. We are.
That's great,
but I got 5 to 1.

Those are pretty good odds.

I think he can do it.

Man: let him hit it.
It's only an exhibition.

Come on, roy.
You can handle it.

I got a ball.

Right here.

Balls versus
brains, roy.

You hit that sh*t,
just keep walking

'Cause your ass
is fired.

How are you gonna fire me
in front of all these people,

Especially when I
knock it on the green?

Announcer: it
looks like the caddy
wants to hit the sh*t.

Peter kostis, what's
going on down there?

Boys, I think things
have officially
changed here now.

Forget the 2-sh*t lead.
Forget 3 holes to go.

Hey, roy,
you need a glove.

It'll help.

There's
a little side action
going on down there.

And the $250,000 purse
has just gotten
a little bit bigger.

Gary, you obviously
don't think this guy

Can pull this sh*t off?

I'll tell you what.
I don't think
there's any chance.

Let me give you
a little background here.

This impending disaster's
a driving range pro.

His name is roy mcavoy.

Everybody calls him tin cup.

The locals around here
tell me he was a pretty
good college player.

He hung around
the mini-tours
for a while.

He's gonna have to
have been a helluva
college player

To pull
this sh*t off.

He's got 240 yards.

He's got a national
television audience.

He's got a big
gallery here,

And he hasn't hit
a golf ball yet.

Well, this is something
we don't see every day:

National television
with no warmup.

How do you like
those odds, bob?

I don't know
who this guy is,

But if this guy even
gets it out of there,
I'd be surprised.

A tour pro
I'd give 10 to 1.

Roy: dollar bills.

Oh, he's got that good.

Announcer:
do you believe this?

Unbelievable.

Stadler: what a caddy.

Good sh*t.

Thanks for the glove.

You. Yeah. You.
Come here.

Come here.

Can you carry that bag?

Yeah.

Pick it up.

Yes, sir.

Nice sh*t, roy.

Hey.

Come here.
Come here a second.

Take a hike.
The loop's over.

You can't fire me.

Hey, david,
come on, man.

How can you fire me?

I--hey, I just knocked it
stiff from 250.

He's always
been a jerk.
Come on, david.

What about my money?

You just hit the sh*t
that took you out
of the money, bud.

Welcome to life
on the tour.

Tonight,
the sports machine

Brings you
a bizarre incident

At the charity golf event
of tour star david simms.

Let's go to west texas,

Where driving-range pro
tin cup mcavoy,

Serving as a caddy
to david simms

At the celebrity event--

He grabbed a 3-wood
out of his own bag

And drilled
a 240-yard sh*t

Over water
to the 16th green...

If I had it all
to do over,

I'd still hit
that sh*t.

Yeah. I know.

Man, you'd bury
yourself alive

Just to prove you
could handle the shovel.

You know why I'd
still hit that sh*t?

Yeah.

'Cause it's the only way
you could b*at dave simms.

No.

'Cause you get that look
in your face.

I hit it again
because that sh*t
was a defining moment,

And when a defining
moment comes along,

You define the moment,

Or the moment
defines you.

I did not shrink
from the challenge.

I rose to it.

1981,
Fort washington golf club,
fresno, california.

Ring a bell?

The final round
of the tour
qualifying school?

I was playing to win.

Tried to hit that same
impossible cut 3-wood
into the wind

From a hilly lie.

I was playing to win.

5 In a row out of bounds

Till you finally
pulled it off

And tapped it in
for a crowd-pleasing 13

When a 12 would have
got you on the tour.

Now that was
a defining moment,

And the definition
was "sh*t."

Greatness courts
failure, romeo.

You may be right, boss,
but you know what?

Sometimes par
is good enough to win.

We owe her $12,000.

No. I owe her $12,000,
all right? I owe her.

Ok, fine.
You owe her $12,000.
Like it makes a difference.

It makes
a difference.

Look, boss,
I only got one rule,

And that's don't bet
money you don't have
on a dog race

With an ex-girlfriend
who happens to be a stripper.

Now you broke that rule,
and you're gonna have to
be sweet to her, homes.

Look, you got to
tell her something
nice to start off with.

You know, kind of
like an ice breaker.
How hard can it be?

Look, I'll say
one thing nice.

If it don't
come out right,
then you say it better.

Hey, tin cup.
Doreen's looking for you.

Yeah, I'll bet she is.

* Oh, baby,
you look so good to me *

Hey, tin cup.

Haven't seen you
for three days.

I'm a busy man.

Hey, tin cup.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi, honey.

That better be you, roy.

Just be nice, ok?

Doreen.

You're looking
particularly lovely
this evening.

Yeah, that's even nicer
than the leopard suit--

Cut the horseshit, guys.

You owe me $12,000.

And we're gonna pay it.
Don't worry about that.

Oh, I know you're
gonna pay me.

12 Smackeroos.
Where is it?

There.

What is this?

With equity
and inventory,
it's worth 12 grand,

More or less.

This is how you think
you're gonna settle up?

By giving me the deed
to your driving range.

Only on the condition
that you don't sell
right away,

And me and romeo
keep our jobs.

What in the world
would I want with your
stupid driving range?

Equity, inventory,
cash flow,

Not to mention
an enhanced stature
in the community,

Plus a prepaid
membership in salome
chamber of commerce.

What are your
labor costs?

Everybody gets what
they're getting.

Ahem.

But the tractor kid
gets 5 bucks an hour.

And romeo
gets 10, cash.

What do you
pay yourself?

Myself?

You know, to stand around
all day and hit those
little golf balls,

When you're not breaking
for beers or corn dogs

Or to gather the guys up
and lay bets

On which crow's gonna
fly off the fence next.

Are you referring to
my managerial salary?

I am referring to
every red nickel that
you take from the till

And every bag of beer nuts
that you lift from the rack.
That is what I'm referring to.

He'll take the deal.
He'll take the deal.

What is the deal?

Ok, let's just say
the driving range
is worth 10,000.

You still owe me 2.

* Maybe tomorrow *

* I'll see some light *

* And I'll know
the difference *

* Between wrong and right *

* My ship is out there *

* No, but it can't come in *

* Flat broke and busted *

* Crapped out again *

She's been here
a while.

Am I early?

Mr. Mcavoy,
I can appreciate

That you have
a fairly laid-back,
relaxed lifestyle,

But I have
hours to keep.

All right. A former
paramour once ascribed
my fluid sense of time

To being born under
the sign of pisces.

Something about floating
through the universe.

Oh. You amuse me, roy,

But I'm the only woman
in america born
after world w*r ii

Who thinks astrology's
a crock of sh*t.

Now let's see if
the big dog'll eat.

Waggle.

I'm waggling.

Set up to the ball
like I showed you
last time.

I am setting up
to the ball.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on, hold on.

Yeah.

Quit trying to wring
the club's neck, molly.

Show a little warmth,
a little compassion.

Remember, this game's
about trust and touch...

And letting go,

So while I
subtly enhance your
technical prospects,

Why don't you
tell me all about
your personal life?

That's none of
your business, roy.

Your boyfriend's
a golfer.
That's my bet.

He's the reason
you're taking
this game up.

Hell, I probably
even know him.

Get your hands
off her ass, roy.

Hi, honey.

Hi, darlin'.

He's taking her to miami
for the f*cking doral.

How am I supposed to
compete with that?

Man, you are having
a bad week, aren't you?

Man, she must think
I'm such a nothing,
such a loser.

A lousy driving-range pro
living in a winnebago.

She don't know
you live in a winnebago.

Well, she sure as hell
knows I ain't taking her
to no doral

For massages and mimosas
all weekend.

Oh, god. I didn't
leave it out.

Well, I didn't.

Gotta do something
with my life.

You just threw that
in the spa.

Gotta rise to a level
worthy of the women
who think I'm a joke.

Well, you could go out
and win the u.s. Open.
That would impress her.

What?

Win the open, man.

She'll think, "oh,
you're wonderful, roy."

Romeo, that idea
has promise.

Are we talking
about the same
golf tournament, huh?

The u.s. Open,
the biggest golf
tournament in the world.

Not just the biggest golf
tournament in the world,

The most democratic
golf tournament
in the world.

What do you mean?

So?
Well, I mean
it's open.

It's open. Anybody with
a 2 handicap or better
has got a sh*t at it.

You just gotta get through
a local and sectional
qualifier,

And unlike doral
or colonial or at&t,
they can't keep you out.

They can't ask you
if you're a garbage man
or a bean picker

Or a driving range pro
whose check's signed
by a stripper.

You qualify,
you're in.

You don't got
the game, man.

I got every sh*t
in the book.

I'm talking about
the game.

The mental game,
you know, la cabeza.
You don't got it.

Well, since you're
the authority,

How'd you like to teach me
what I ain't and
never will be?

What for, man?

You've never
listened to me.
Never.

Well, this time
will be different,
I promise.

Yeah, right.

You don't even
have the money

To get
your golf clubs
out of hock,

And you're gonna win
the u.s. Open.

That don't fit, man.

Don't force it
if it don't f--

Ahh, is that what
those things were?

Flowers?

Flowers.

Man: let me get
this straight.

You're gonna play me
for $400 with those?

Yeah, and I'll give you
2 strokes a side.

You ain't got
no 400 bucks.

I got the title of
my car for collateral.

I ain't interested
in that piece of sh*t.

That's 'cause
you think of it as
transportation, boone.

Think of it
as bragging rights.

Think of yourself
sitting around the bar

Crowing to your cronies
about the cadillac
you won from me.

They'll forget all
about the winnebago
you lost to me.

I'll call
the i.n.s. On you,
you little midget.

I'll be playing
a pink lady today.

Is that little pink f*g ball
supposed to intimidate me?

Well, not unless
I knock it by you.

Louisville slugger,
please.

* I'm drivin' down the highway,
headed to the range *

* Gonna knock 'em out strong *

Oh!

* Got an old brown bag *

I believe you're away.

Don't worry
about it, julio.

I thought
I caught that thing
way the hell on the toe.

* There's a place for you
if you're just like me *

You drive for show,
and you putt for dough,
big mouth.

You hear that, romeo?
Boone was being profound.

Let's see, little wind
left to right.

I highly recommend
the shovel.

Yeah, that's what
I was thinking.

* Well, there's a place for
you if you're just like me *

Boone: all right, I want
to see a legitimate swing.

No scooping.

* I'm not rich,
and I'm not on tv *

* Have another cool one,
but it won't hurt *

* Got myself a big stick
swingin' in the dirt *

I'll finish.

* Got myself a big stick
swingin' in the dirt *

Get the hell off
my golf course.

Uh, need a receipt?

You know what I think,
grasshopper?

She's got you
by the huevos.

Listen, swami,
your job's to teach me
patience and humility,

All right, not advise me
on my love life.

Not all my thinking
occurs below the belt.

I mean, I actually
stand for a few things

Besides where my next
romantic interlude's
coming from.

Well, then great. You
won't have any trouble
telling the doctor lady

You can't
teach her no more
until after the open.

Well, now that would make
an issue of something that's
not an issue, now wouldn't it?

Yeah, right.

Besides, I'm focused.

I am!

This is my quest!

This is where I stand up
for all the little guys
everywhere

Who've had their fill
of soulless robots
like david simms.

Well, david simms
may be a soulless
robot,

But he's a rich,
happy soulless robot

With a beautiful
doctor lady
girlfriend.

Besides, how's
getting in the open

Gonna change
what she thinks
about you?

Well, it'll show her
I'm not who she thinks I am.

But you are who
she thinks you are, man.

No, roy, I will not
give you time off
to go win the open.

I don't care
if it is your quest.

How about my destiny?

Or your destiny.

Or any other term
you vaguely remember
from your cliff notes.

That's the most stupid
thing I've ever seen
in my life.

Don't get mean, all right?
First you get mean,
then you get petty.

You should have been
a little nicer to me
when we were an item,

And maybe I wouldn't be
such a nasty boss.

Yeah. Roy, I've got
a business to run.
Bye-bye, bon voyage.

You know what,
becky, becky, becky,
come here, sweetheart.

Right now, hurry up.
We don't have a lot
of time.

Now, you're doing
a natural thing,
and it's really sweet,

But you know what?
We don't do natural
here.

We do big and bold.
Colorful.

Hair, lots of it,
many colors.

Look at me.
That's what we do, ok?

[Dial tone]

Well, if you're gonna
take that tone,

Then we'll just have to
talk another day.

I'm sorry, uh,
I have things to do,

And I don't really need
to be treated like that,

So good-bye.

You know, it wouldn't
k*ll you just once

To tell her something
like that she's beautiful

Or that she can dance

Or that she's
sexy as hell.

Here I am, ready to
charge forth in pursuit
of my mythic destiny,

I can't even get
time off work to do it.

Well, I'm no expert here,

But it seems to me
that the pursuit
of a mythic destiny

Isn't something you need
to get off a $7-an-hour job
in order to do.

I'm stuck, man.
I'm buried.

I need help.

I need advice,
I need counseling.
I need a--

I need a shrink.

You don't know
no shrinks.

I know one.

No, no, no, no.
Not the doctor lady.

Why not?

You can't ask advice
about the woman
you're trying to hose

From the woman you're
trying to hose.

Why not?

[Door opens]

[Sobbing]

[Sobbing loudly]

Sue ann.
Sue ann, honey.

I didn't--i didn't
say sh*t to her.

Roy, oh!

Ok, roy, get in
the other room, please.

Sue ann, honey, it's ok.

[Door opens]

Hey, look, she was
crying when she came
out there, all right?

Ok, ok, roy. That is
a patient exit room.

Well, I knew it was
some kind of room.

It wasn't painted.
There was no magazines
out there.

Roy, why are you here?

Therapy.

You've come
for therapy?

Ok, look, roy,

You know, you really need
to make an appointment,

Because I have a client
in a half an hour.

That's enough time,
30 minutes. Hell,
I'm not that f*cked up.

Ok, roy, you know what?
Why don't you just have
a seat right there?

Right over there.

Ok.

Ok, so how do I
do it?

Therapy, I mean.

I mean, how do I
start doing it?

Ok, roy, well,

In parlance
you might understand,

Just kick back
and let the big dog eat.

Suppose
there's this guy,

And he's standing
on the shore of
a big, wide river,

And the river's full of
all manner of disaster,
you know?

Piranhas, alligators,
eddies, currents,
sh*t like that.

Nobody'll even go
down there to dip a toe,

And on the other
side of the river
is a million bucks,

And on this side of
the river is a rowboat.

Mm-hmm.

I guess my question
is this.

What would possess a guy
standing on shore
to swim for it?

He's an idiot.

No, see, he's
a helluva swimmer.

His problem
is more like

Why does he
always have to rise
to the challenge?

He's a juvenile idiot.

You don't understand
what I mean by
the river.

Roy.

We're talking about you

And what you like to call
your inner demons,

That human frailty
you like to blather about.

Not some mythopoetic
metaphor you come up with

In a feeble
and transparent effort
to do yourself credit.

You mean you're gonna
make me feel lousy?

No.

I came here
to feel better.

I mean, what kind
of therapy is this?

You don't have
any inner demons.

What you have
is inner crap-ola,

Inner debris, garbage,

Loose wires, a few.

Horseshit
in staggering amounts.

Look, I'm not some just
jerk driving-range pro

Who drinks too much
booze, eats too few
vegetables, ok?

Roy, could you please
sit down, ok? 'Cause
you're getting defensive,

And I want you to just cut
to the chase and tell me
why you're here.

Woman.

Oh, a woman.

Have you asked her out?

No. She's seeing a guy.
I don't know how serious
it is.

But the guy's
a real horse's ass
if you ask me.

Maybe if you shared your heart
with this woman, you know,
took her out to dinner,

Then it would force these
issues out to the open.

Well, I'm afraid
she'll say no.

So what you're
saying is that

All your speeches
about swimming across
shark-infested waters

Are really about
your golf game, not
about your personal life.

Oh, jeez.

So look, we're
getting a little
close to the truth.

Well, christ, I didn't know
we were gonna get into
my personal life.

Well, this is
therapy, roy.

Well, I know, but
I didn't think it was
that kind of therapy.

Well, ok, let's
make this simple.

Roy, please, here,
sit down right here.

You know those risks
that you love to take
on the golf course?

The ones that you
talk so passionately
and poetically about.

Well, you need to apply those
same risks to your personal
life with the same passion.

You mean I should
just ask her out?

Yes.

And risk coming right
over the top, snap,

Hooking it
out of bounds left.

Absolutely, roy.

Hitting it
a little thin.

Ok, roy.
That's good.
I'm sorry.

Now look, all you have to do
is walk up to this woman,
wherever she is,

Look her in the eye--
look at me, roy.

Just look her in the eyes.

That's right,
let down your guard.

Don't try to be cool
or smooth or whatever.

Just be honest
and take a risk.

And then you know what?
Whatever happens, if you
act from the heart,

You can't make a mistake.

Dr. Griswold.

Yes?

I think I'm
in love with you.

What?

From the moment
I first saw you,
I knew

I was through with
bar girls and strippers
and motorcycle chicks,

And when you
first started talking,
I was smitten with you,

And I'm smitten with you
more every day I think
about you,

And the fact
that you know
I'm full of crap-ola

Only makes you even
more attractive to me.

Usually I can
bullshit people, but
I can't bullshit you,

And in addition,
you got great legs,

And most women,
I'm thinking about

How to get in their
pants from day one,
but with you I'm just--

I'm just thinking
about how to get
in your heart.

Roy, uh--

Stunned, huh?

So, uh,
so what about dinner?

And we can talk about us
and if we have a future

And how to drop
that horse's-ass
boyfriend of yours.

Roy, just slow down, ok?

What? I just hit
a 8-degree driver
off the carpet.

I mean, I'm staring
eagle in the face.

Ok, will you just cut
the golf talk, please?

Because this
is a mistake.

Well, I'm acting
from the heart.

How can that be
a mistake?

Right?

Wrong, roy, I mean--

sh*t. I didn't know
you were talking
about me, roy.

Well, would your advice
have been different?

Uh, ha. Roy...

You know,
this session is over.

I have someone
coming soon.

I think
you better leave.

I take it
your answer is no.

Well, our relationship
is, and will remain,
strictly professional.

That's it?

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna qualify
for the u.s. Open and kick
your boyfriend's ass.

And whatever you think
of me, you should know
that your boyfriend,

He hates old people,
he hates children,
and he hates dogs,

And that broad's
out there crying still
in the exit room.

You're still
in the exit room.

[Patient sobbing]

Hello.

Um, dr. Kasseldorf,
you're there.

Well, you always
said to call

If something came up
that confused me,

And you know,
shrinks need shrinks,

But it happened.
I mean, you said it would.

A patient came in
and thinks that he's
falling in love with me.

I mean, he's
not really a patient,
he's my golf pro, but--

No. I know that
under the circumstance,

That I'm supposed to
recommend another therapist,

But there are no other
therapists in salome.

I mean, he'd have to
drive 100 miles to
midland or odessa,

And I'm not sure you could
count on any help there.

Me? No,
my self-esteem is fine.

My self-esteem is fine.

Well, he's a good-looking man.
Green eyes, I don't know--

That's not the point, is it?

Well, he's, you know,
he's kind of cute. He's cute.

B-but I mean--

Ok.

Ok.

Ok.

Uh-huh.

* Oh, I wish I could laugh *

* When I look way back *

* Find out who stole
all my dreams *

* Oh, I wish it was easy *

* To face the fact *

* There was
nobody there but me *

* There was
nobody there but me *

[Knocking on door]

Hello.

Hi.

You got a beautiful
swing, roy.

I'm a beautiful guy.

Look, roy, I came here
to apologize, ok?

For what?

Well, you did exactly
what I said,

And I just poured
cold water over
your efforts, ok?

I didn't get it.

I'm a, like, terrible
shrink probably.

Should've never gotten
out of real estate.
sh*t.

Actually, I should've
never left ohio

For that cowboy
in amarillo, but--

Have you ever
been to amarillo?

Cowboy?

Yeah. It's not
as romantic

When you're actually
with one, trust me.

I mean, so the oilman
in dallas or houston

Or I don't know
where he was from.

Anyway, he just
looked great
after that--

Oh, boy. That's when
I went to the gulf,

And I ended up in,
like, trailer sales,

And then
all those condos
in corpus christi.

The bottom just--
boom--fell right
out of the market,

And I needed a new gig.

A new gig?

Therapy. I mean,
I took all the classes.

I'm, you know,
legitimate, legal,
certified.

f*ck. I'm certifiable.
I'm really sorry, ok?

Oh, boy.

Ray, do you mind
if I have a doughnut.

Thanks.

Ok, look.

I am really flattered
that you asked me out,
but, I mean,

I can't accept because
I am involved
with david,

And I haven't
seen any evidence

That he treats
old people, children,
or dogs badly.

Look, I admit,
and I'm sorry.

I guess I got
a little carried away
with the david thing.

I just should have
laid up and made my par.

Ok, roy,
I just want to make
a proposal, all right?

I mean, as long as
you understand that it's
strictly professional,

And that, you know,
we're not going out together.

Tee it up.

Well, I think that I can
help you with the mental
aspects of the game.

I mean, you have romeo
to be your swing doctor.
I could be your head doctor.

What, roy?

Well,
you just said yourself
you're a crummy shrink.

Well, I can improve, roy.

Molly, I don't even have
the money to pay you.
I'm broke.

Roy, you don't need
any money to pay me.
We'll trade services.

I mean, you know, I'll
give you my services
for golf lessons,

And I can help you through
the qualifying, roy,

And then if you make it
into the open, well...

I'm on my own.
You'll be with david.

Yeah.

Uh, I don't--i don't--
I don't really want this.

Ok.

* Every minute *

Announcer:
third in the group,

Playing out of
salome, texas,
roy mcavoy.

* Every day
that passes by *

* Fills my spirit *

* For a moment *

* That you're not
on my mind *

* If you wonder *

* When I think of you *

* Well, just let me
put it this way *

* Every minute *

Ben hogan.
Now, who's he?

I find him
mildly attractive

When he's obnoxious
and arrogant
like this.

Well, good.

That's his best side.

* Every hour *

* Every day *

These guys bugging you,
boss? I can shut 'em up.

The way I'm
swinging today,

Nothing bugs me except
insufficient applause.

Give me the lumber.

I think you wanna hit
the 2-iron, boss.

I said
I want the big dog.

You got a tight par-5 here
with out of bounds
on the left.

I don't think you wanna
hit the driver. The 2-iron
seems like the deal.

I'm not goin'
left of those trees
or right of those trees.

I'm goin'
over those trees...

With a little draw.

Yeah.

That way,
I get home in 2.

That way, I'm puttin'
for eagle. Now...

You don't
need an eagle
to qualify.

You need to practice
playin' it safe.

Qualify? I want
the course record.
Now give me the lumber.

You're not gonna
listen to me, are you?

Even when I'm tryin'
to help you, man.

After all these years,
what, do you think
I'm full of sh*t?

I think I'm gonna get
penalized for slow play.

Now give me
the f*ckin' driver.

Man, you're a head case.
You always have been,
and you always will be.

Let's ask
the head doctor.

Dr. Griswold?
Dr. Griswold.

Yes?

Should I hit
the big dog or the 2?

Soliciting
sh*t selection advice
is a 2-stroke penalty.

Trust your feelings.

Ha! Give me the driver
and shut up.

[Snaps fingers]

Want the driver? Fine.

Here, hit the driver,
tin cup.

Well, I've changed my mind.
Give me the 3-wood.

You can't
throw that dogleg
with a 3-wood, man.

You wanna bet?

Fine. Take the 3-wood.

Take it and show me
what a golf pro does,
man.

Guess I'm goin'
with the safe sh*t,
boys.

But, you know,
sometimes I fan that 2.

You better
give me the 3.

Is this normal behavior
for him?

The word
"normal" and him

Don't often collide
in the same sentence.

And sometimes
I catch that 3
a little thin, too.

And I've hit fliers
with the 4.

Hit the damn ball, roy.

I've hooked my 5.
I've shanked the 6.

Skulled the 8.
Fatted the 9.

Chili-dipped the wedge.

And I've bladed
the sand.

Putter?

Yeah. There is
old mr. 3-Wiggle,
isn't there?

But then there's
the 7-iron.

I never miss
with the 7-iron.

It's the only
truly safe club
in my bag.

Well, the bag's
lighter, romeo.
You happy?

No, I'm not happy, man.

I'm tired...

And my life's too short
to sit there watch you
blow up all--

'Cause I done it
too many times.

What, are you quittin'?

Huh. God...damn.

First sign of adversity,
and you're quittin'?

God. First time
you have a chance

To qualify
for the open.

Jesus, what the hell
is wrong with you?

Anybody wanna bet me

I can't par in
with a 7-iron? Huh?

Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.

Come on, anybody?

Man: no, sir. No way.

Doc, take the bet.

Roy, just shut up
and hit the ball.

Ok.

Clint:
you the man, cup.

* It's pride against money *

* Love against pride *

* Drivin' all the demons *

* That I been
keepin' inside *

* I always
go for the long sh*t *

* I never hesitate *

* When I wave
to the four winds *

* I stick a finger
at fate *

* It's just
a character flaw *

* No matter what you saw,
it don't matter at all *

* It's just
a character flaw *

* It ain't against the law,
it don't matter at all *

* It's just
a character flaw *

[Cheering and applause]

Thank you, boys.

Man: you survived?

Whoo!

Waitress: ¿cervezas?

Roy: sí, cervezas.

What do you think
my best sh*t was?

Was it the 7-iron
on 12?

Earl: pretty good one.

Or was it
the 7-iron on 14?

Curt: nah,
that was better.

What about that
bunker sh*t on 18,

Which,
to my recollection,
was a 7-iron?

Dewey: yes, it was.

Curt: they all were good.

Clint: you're
definitely the man.

- Hey, doc. Doc.
- Hmm?

How'd I do?

Well, you failed
miserably, roy.

What are you
talkin' about? I--

Did I not qualify
for the sectionals?

I believe I did,
with a 7-iron,
I recall.

Look, your job
isn't just to qualify
for the open.

It's to prepare
for the open.

My job is to help you
prepare.

Thank you.

Now, you said
trust my feelings.
I did.

Well, I didn't know
you felt like breakin'
all the clubs in your bag

And getting in
a pissing contest
with your caddy,

Who, incidentally, quit.

Well, he always quits.

Earl: he ought to be here.

To the quitter.

To rome.

Romeo. Romeo.

Yeah,
the little quitter.

Nonetheless, nonetheless...

From the mental aspect,
which is my domain,

You've regressed, roy...

Oh.

And are fumbling
somewhere between
delusion and denial.

Regression.
Delusion. Denial.

Why you gotta use all
the psychological
language for?

Havin' a bad day, roy?

No.

Molly:
hi, honey.

Hi, darlin'.

sh*t a 65.

Parred the backside
with a 7-iron.

Why?

Yeah, that's exactly right.
That's the question. Why?

Because he broke
all of his other clubs.

Snapped 'em
right in two.

Jesus, roy.

I didn't
break 'em all.
Romeo broke 2.

Listen,
I'm on your side here.
We go way back, partner,

And I really hope you
qualify for the open,
but if you do...

You better play with
some kind of control,
son,

Or you'll get
slaughtered out there.

Hell, good players
sh**t an 82 in the open.

You see, roy, it means
you just can't always
go for it.

I swear to god,
doc, this guy is not
who you think he is.

It's a well-known fact.
If a camera's not on him,

He treats old people
and children like dirt.

And dogs.

Jeez...

Yeah,
don't forget dogs.

Ok. Ok, guys.
You know what?
We better go, david.

Yeah, I guess so.

You ever sh**t par
with a 7-iron?

Why, hell, roy, it...

Never even occurred
to me to try.

Well,
I bet you $1,000
against my car

That I can b*at you
in any game--

Any game--
you name it,
with a golf club.

Come on, roy,
this is ridiculous.

What,
are ya chicken?

Regulars: bawk bawk bawk.
Bawk bawk bawk.

Bawk bawk bawk bawk.

What, are you
gonna lay up

The way you did
in the masters
last year?

Regulars: ooh!

Any game, I name it?

Molly:
oh, david, come on.

No, it's ok. I'm just
gonna teach old roy here
a little lesson.

Why do men insist on
measuring their dicks?

All right,
let's measure.

Fine. Let's measure.

Oh, roy, for god's sakes,
I wasn't being literal.

Oh, david,
come on, let's go.

Wait, molly,
I got this one.

We'll just call this part
of roy's mental preparation
for the u.s. Open,

Where the rough is deep
and the greens are slick
and nerves are shattered.

I'll take the bet.

Molly:
oh, jesus.

Yes!
Yes.

Roy: all right!

What's the--
what's the game?

Your 7-iron, roy.

One swing each,

Whoever hits it
the longest.

That's a lock.

I hit the 7-iron
like john daly
hits the 3.

Winner, winner,
chicken dinner!

Who'll take
my beer? Curt?

Thank you.

Right here ok?

Fine with me.

You know, you guys
are really being childish.

Leave this one to me,
darlin'.

I know what
I'm doin', too.

You know what?
I'll see you both
in the bar.

Bye.

Dollar bills.

Yay!
Whoo!
Yes!

Clint:
hey, them signs

Are at least
30 yards further.

Hey, earl, that ball
must've gone 220.

Nah, 227.

Toed her a bit,
but it'll do.

Go ahead.
Take your time.
Limber up.

Fine with me.

No, that's all right.
I don't need to.

Well, uh,
take your jacket off.

No. No, I'm fine.

You're gonna have
to muscle up, big guy,
to get it out there.

Gotta give it the old...
Steroid jerk.

Yeah.

Earl: what the hell's
he doin'?

Hmm...

Dewey: sh*t, he hit it
down the f*ckin' road,
didn't he?

Still goin'.

Uh, you the man, roy.
You the man.

Oh, yeah. You are
definitely the man.

So long, bucko.

Clint: the man
needs a ride home.

Earl: I always
liked that car.

* It's early
sunday mornin' *

* The sun is coming up *

* I'm on the tee at 7:00 *

* I'm here
to try my luck *

* They say this game's
a tough one *

* But I'll give it
my best sh*t... *

God, I wish romeo were here.
I'm not cut out for this sh*t.

I'm an observer by nature.
I'm a spectator.

Earl, shut up.
Ok.

Give me the big dog.

Big dog.

I thought that was
the f*cking big dog.

* Help me
keep my head down *

* Save me from those
double bogey blues *

[Coughs]

* First, I pulled out
my driver *

* I checked
my stance and grip *

* I'm tryin' to remember *

* Every single
nicklaus tip *

* Straighten
that left elbow... *

Here, why don't you
let me carry it?

No.

* Keep your head
behind the ball *

* And look out
for those trees *

* Oh, lord... *

[Wheezing]

You all right?

Aw, sh*t.

Here,
give me the bag.

Nah.

All right.

[Coughs]

Dewey, take him in.

Come on,
like a million others

You made in your life,
roy.

Just see it goin' in.

Just feel it.

Right in
the back of the jar.

* Well, I started out
with 3 balls *

* Now 2 of them are lost *

* Got 200 yards of water *

* That I got to get across *

* Did I hear
somebody talkin' *

* 'Bout a $40 bet? *

* I got 30 in my pocket *

* But I won't let 'em
see me sweat *

* Oh, lord *

Ha ha ha ha ha.

* I can't afford to lose *

* You know I'll be
in church next sunday *

* Just save me from those
double bogey blues *

Romes,
you come back.

Man, you should've
been there.

I drained
a 30-foot snake
to qualify.

Earl gives me
this straight read.

Thing breaks
half a dozen times.

Ha ha ha.
Ah, missed ya, pods.
I missed ya.

Ok, don't talk to me,
but you're still my guy.

Look, it's a little late
to be pissed off.

We're in the open,
you and me.

All right, fine,
be like that.

Say, has molly
been around?

You know what? Neither her
nor me nor the god of golf
himself

Is gonna keep you
from blowin' up
in the open.

I made it this far,
didn't i?

Didn't i? Didn't i?

All I gotta do
is hold it together
for 72 more holes.

There's a lot
of triple bogeys
waiting out there

To grab
your skinny white ass.

Are you complainin' again?
Is that what I hear?

Shut up.

Aha, you're back,
whinin' and bitchin',

Pissin' and moanin'.
You're back! Huh?
You're my man.

You didn't fall in love
with earl to be your caddy?

Oh, earl.

He's a wheezin'
heart att*ck
waitin' to happen.

Cost me
3 strokes a side.

Hell, I had to carry the bag
the last 4 holes.

Look, I love old earl,
ok, but I need you.

You don't love me?

Well, yeah. Yeah,
I love you, too,
god damn it.

Well, as much as earl?

I don't know. I mean...
When I was with earl,

I was thinkin' of you.

Yes, uh...

As much as earl.

More than earl.

More than earl.

Am I special?

Well, if you can remove
the sexual overtones

In that, uh, golf theme,
then, romeo...

I am your juliet.

In that case, julieta...

I am your caddy
one more time.

So nobody's heard
from molly, huh?

You got it bad, huh?

Somethin' about that chick.

Somethin' about that chick.

Little chili-dipper
there.

Hey, be sure
to do that in the open.
It really impresses 'em.

Rome...

Yeah, I'm watchin'.

That ain't
no chili-dipper.

Looks like
you got el hosel.
The laterals.

You know, the "s" word?

What am I doin' wrong?

I don't know. The shanks
are like a virus.
They just show up.

Nobody can figure 'em out.

Romes...

Yeah.

Something's
terribly wrong.

Rome,
somethin's wrong.

That's ok.

Well? Well,
what's your guess?

It's gotta be
the woman.

I thought you said
it was a virus.

Well, a woman can have
the same effect.

What, uh,
what do I do?

Um...
Just keep swingin'.

Go on. You're fine.

Don't say a f*ckin' word.

Um, I'm inside
if you need me.

Just work it out.

[Knock knock
knock knock]

Hello?
Is anybody home?

My god...roy.

Dr. Griswold.
Ha ha ha.

The therapist laughs
at the patient?

Huh? Is that
how it works?

Is that how
it works?

No.

Man's laid bare
before god,

He's the butt
of a cosmic joke?

I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.

Some of this sh*t
might actually work,
you know.

I think
there's somethin'
to this hat,

The golf ball
pendulum thing.

Could be
onto somethin' here.

Oh, jesus, roy.
I mean, quoting yourself,

It is paraphernalia for
lost and desperate souls.

Well, a lost
and desperate soul
stands before you.

I assume I have
the confidentiality

Of the doctor-client...

Privilege in regards
to this outfit.

Of course you do.
Now, what happened?

Well...
I got the shanks.

Are you taking
penicillin?

There's a glitch
in my swing.

Well, that's
romeo's department.

No, he thinks
it's your department.
Says it's a head thing.

Oh. Well, uh,
I just came over

To congratulate you
on the, um, sectionals
and to return your car.

David said
he doesn't want it.

Just wanted to make a point.
You know what, roy? Look...

You know what?
I suppose we could have
a therapy session

Right here and now.

I don't want
therapy, ok?

I want you.

I want you.

I gotta get
some air, roy.

Molly.

Molly. Molly, wait.

Molly, look at me.

Well, not at the moment,
but just listen to me.

You're
with the wrong guy.

I'm the right guy.

Everyone says
my face is screwed up
tight as a drum.

I know it's 'cause
I been crazy about you

From the moment
you came here,

When you were wearin'
all this stupid sh*t.

The whole damn thing's
both inspired me
to get here

And also 'caused me
to get the shanks,

Which would humiliate me
in front of a billion,
zillion people

In a game I used to
know how to play
pretty good.

Such is life.

Dump that phony bastard
you're with

And come to the open
in my corner, ok?

Tell me--ha ha--
tell me you're not
just like at least

Moderately
attracted to me.

You have moments,
roy.

Yeah? You tell me
which ones are my moments,

And I'll try
and duplicate them.

This is a moment.

Now?

Yeah. I mean,
just utterly exposed,

Completely vulnerable,

Inner child
trying to get out.

Yeah? My inner child
needs a spankin'?

Yeah. No, roy. No, roy.

Ha ha.

Oh.

I, uh, don't have a car.

Need a ride.

I know.

* You're like
a cool breeze... *

Roy...

* To a hot spell... *

I know a spot
along the river,
it's--

It's great
to watch sunsets.
I do.

Watch the road.

I know a spot
by the river

That's great
for sunsets.

I bet you do, roy.
Not tonight.

Not tonight means
maybe some other night.

No, I didn't
mean it like that.

Maybe consciously
you didn't mean it
that way,

But how about
unconsciously?

Come on,
you're the expert.

Did you mean it
unconsciously?

Roy, unconsciously,
I don't have a clue
what I'm talkin' about.

I feel
we're makin' progress.

Well, I do, too.

I have no idea what it's
progress towards, though.
None.

Consciously
or unconsciously?

Oh, roy. Ha ha ha.

* You're like a sweet spot
to these tired eyes *

* You're like the last mile
on a long ride *

* Till the end of time *

* Baby, I can start *

* If you just let me
into your heart *

It may not be
much of a river to you,
but to me it's the...

Mississippi,
the rio grande, the...

The danube, the amazon--

Whoa, the amazon?
I don't know
about the amazon.

Come on, molly.
Isn't it obvious to you
that you and me are...

As comfortable together
as a couple of old shoes?

Ha ha ha. Old shoes?
Oh, roy.

Look, david--david's
a really good person.

Whenever anybody says
they're with a really
good person,

It means they're--

It means they're
about to leave 'em.

You know, you're
awfully judgmental.

Well...

It's one of my few
redeeming virtues.

Look, david's involved
in a lot of charity work.

Gets his name
in the paper.

No. Roy, no.
Let me just finish.

He's a sensitive person,
and a lot of people
don't see it.

Well, so am i.
Hell, I'm--

sh*t, I'm twice
as sensitive as he is.

I mean--hell,
I brought you to the river.

That's a nature
kind of thing, isn't it?

[Chuckles]

Yeah, it is a nature
kind of thing, roy.

It is a very nice river.
Thank you,

But that's
not the point.

The point is
is that david
is there for me.

Oh, god. Not the
"he's a very good person

And he's there for me
thing."

Let me be your shrink
for a minute.

That's not a good idea.

You're startin'
to sound like a woman
who's lookin' for a way out.

Warm?

That's enough, roy.

Ok. I'm sorry.

We could kiss.

Oh, jeez, roy.

Look, no harm, no foul.

Just a little,
small, innocent,

You know, kind of--
kind of a...semi...

Platonic.

Roy...

Roy, there's
no such thing

As semi-platonic,
roy.

There ought to be.

I think you better
take me home.

Well, good luck
in the open, roy.

* When I was younger,
I believed *

* That dreams came true *

* Now I wonder *

* 'Cause I've seen
much more dark skies *

* Than of blue *

* Now I wonder *

* I keep on prayin'
for blue skies *

* I keep on thinkin'
of the good times *

* Will they ever
come again? *

* Now I wonder *

* Will they ever
come again? *

* Now I wonder *

* Oh, I wonder *

It's got your name
on it, man.

They spelled it right
and everything.

Look, it's lee janzen
and billy mayfair.

They look just like
they do on tv.

Look at these balls.

Look at these balls.
Brand-new titleist.

Brand-new?

Look at 'em.
Every one of them,
brand-new titleist.

Whoa. Jeez.

Sneak a few in the bag
when you get a chance.

We swipe enough
free sh*t,

We might even pay
for this fiasco.

Do you think it would
be inappropriate

If I asked lee janzen
for his autograph?

I think that's
a dead giveaway, romes,

But if I still
got the shanks,

We're gonna be
found out soon enough.

Oh. Hit the 7.
You always hit that good.

Good thinkin', pods.

Sweet swing.
Come on, man.

Keep your head down
and follow through.

You're makin' me
nervous.

All right.

Whoa! Hey...

Who hit that sh*t?
Yeah, who hit that?

Anybody see?

There's supposed
to be pros here.

A little thin, boss.

Little f*cking thin.

Jesus christ,
I still got the shanks.

Don't worry
about it, man.

Everybody's watchin' me.

Nobody's watchin'.

Just hit another one.

Come on,
just stand up there, man.
You can do it. All right.

Look out!

Ho!

Hey, partner, uh, you know,
the guys down the line

Are a little concerned
about that.

What's your name?
Tin cup?

Yeah, roy mcavoy
from west texas.

From west texas.

Uh, why don't you try
aiming a little left--

Why don't you try
backing up, giving me
just a little room?

[Whispering] hey, man,
that's johnny miller.

I don't give
a flying f*ck
who it is.

Jesus, cup.

Hey, no problem.
Who do you want it to?

To romeo. Romeo...
My best friend.

Ooh!
Well, good luck
to you, guys.

You might want to make
some plane reservations
friday, though.

Ok, thanks, mr. Miller.
Hey, great open
in '73, boy.

[Chuckling]
ok, thank you.

What a nice guy.
Yeah. Did you get
his autograph?

Yeah. Look.
"To my best friend,
romeo."

Do you see
who's over there?
What?

Jesus christ.
It's only
an autograph, man.


Simms is here.

[Chuckling]

Aw, sh*t. Ahem.
Maybe you should
hit your putter.

You can't shank
that one.

Look, you're the mexican
mac o'grady.

You got to figure out
why I'm still
shanking the ball.

What's the problem?
Oh, sh**t.

I'm catching
on the hosel, right?

Yeah, right,
right, right.

Moving my head?
Yeah.

I'm laying it off?
Well, that, too.

I'm pronating.

When you're not
supinating.

I'm clearing too early,
I'm clearing too late.

My god, my swing feels like
an unfolding lawn chair!

All right.

Take all your change
and put it in your
left-hand pocket.

Go on, do it, roy.

All right.

All right, now...
Tie your left shoe
in a double knot.

Tie my left shoe--

Right now, roy!
Do it!

Turn your hat
around backwards.

Turn your hat around!
Do it, roy!

Now take this tee
and stick it...

Behind your left ear.

Stick it--
I look like a fool!

Well, what the hell
do you think
you look like

sh**ting them
chili peppers
up lee janzen's ass?

Now, you do it
right now,

Or I swear to god,
I'm gonna quit.

I swear to god,
I'll quit.

All right.

All right, good.

Now take
this little ball,

Hit it the hell
up the fairway.

You're ready.

[Sighs]

How'd I do that?

'Cause you're not
thinking about shanking.

You're not thinking
about the doctor lady.

You're not thinking,
period!

You're just looking
like a fool.

And you're
hitting the ball
pure and simple,

And that's
your natural--
f*ck you.

f*ck me, huh?
Well, you're cured.

I'm c--
that's it?

Yeah, that's it.

Your brain was getting
in the way.

That's hardly ever
been the case, but...

Well, no sh*t, sherlock.

Well, what next?

Well...
I should recommend

That you work
on your short game,
but...

I think you ought
to get drunk.

Get drunk?
Yeah.

You always play better
when you're wasted.

Remember brownsville?

Romeo: come on,
get it down.

What time I tee off?

You tee off at 7:08.
We're the first guys going.

Come on, one more.
Just do it.
Hey.

Let's go, come on.
Get it down.

That's 4 hours
from now.

That's right.

Here's to
the finely tuned athlete

On the verge of greatness.

Ai!

[Singing in spanish]

Hurry up, boss.

I knew
we should've
set an alarm.

[Coughs]

With the honor
in the 7:08 pairing,

From salami, texas,
mr. Roy mcavoy.

Uh, any time
for a quick bucket?

Tee it up.

Ok, boss.

We almost missed
the starting time

Trying to get you
off the floor.

If I may say so,

You don't handle the hooch
like you used to.

Oh, I've seen
this hole on tv.

Just hit the big dog
up the chute there.

No. I've learned
my lesson.

I'm gonna play it...
Safe, smart...

Conservative.

Fairways and greens.
Hand me a 2-iron.

You sure?

Yeah.

Ok.

Ohh.

Uhh.

Not a good day.

Be humble.

Be humble.

Romeo: 83.

Well, you're
humble now, homes.

I was hung over.

Maybe that was
a coaching mistake
on my part.

Yeah, maybe it was.
Thanks, amigo.

Jim nantz: david simms
is the first-round leader

At the u.s. Open
after a brilliant 67.

Congratulations, david.

Well...jim,
I gotta tell you,

I'm the last guy
on the planet

That expected me
to go out there
right out of the blocks

And sh**t a 67
to lead the open.

Shut up.

Nantz: I've really marveled

At how you've been able
to balance the superb play

With all the time
and energy you give to...

To so many charities
and all of your fans, too.

Well, you know, i--
this game is about...

Tradition and--and
integrity and honor.

You know, the u.s. Open
is--is it for us,

So I'm just going to
go out there tomorrow

And, uh, try and make
some good swings, and...

Lord willing,
I'll put up another
good number tomorrow.

The antichrist
sh**t 67.

Believe that?

Yeah,
the old antichrist

Had a hot putter
today, boss.

Thanks a lot, jim.
It's good seeing you.

Yeah, it's great
to see you.

Hey, luther.
Be well, buddy.

I'll see you out
in the trenches.

Mr. Simms!
Mr. Simms!

I gotta run right now,
but I'll see you later.

Christ almighty jesus.

Yeah, it's either
the cover or nothing.

They want you
for usa weekend.

We're telling them
it's either the cover
or no go.

Simms: oh, jesus christ.

Excuse me,
mr. Simms.
Excuse me.

Would you mind
giving our grandson
an autograph?

Can I please have
your autograph, mr. Simms?

Can you people not see
that I'm busy?

I'm working here.
This is my office.

Do I come to your office
and ask you for
your autograph?

I don't think so. Jesus.

Simms: what
an ugly dog.

It's--it's--
it's ok, joe.

It's ok.

Grandmother:
oh. Come on.

Simms: hey, gary.

Hey, nice playing.

Hey, helluva
round, dave.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Great start, simmsy.

Ha ha. I got lucky
out there.

Hello, cup.

I heard that you put
a monster number
up there.

Yeah, well, it could
have been worse.

You know, I played
in the pro-am

With some assh*le
movie star here once.

sh*t an 82.

Now, how in the world...

Did a great ball striker
like yourself...

A legend...

Manage to put up an 83?

Well, I missed
a 4-foot putt on 18

For an 82.

That's how.

Ain't like playing
some muni track
in brownsville,

Is it, bucko?

Ahem.

Does, uh, integrity,
tradition, and honor

Include kicking a man
when he's down?

Come on, molly.
This is just guy stuff.

It's just bar talk.
No offense. Right, cup?

You know, this man
still has a lot

Of great golf sh*ts
in his system.

Roy: molly, it's ok.
Just go away.

Just--i don't need
any attention right now.

I'll bet you $100
right now that roy here

Can hit a ball

Through that door,
over the patio,
and into the river.

And, harold,
give me a vodka tonic
with a twist.

Molly, honey...
[Chuckles]

Really,
this isn't dignified.

Oh. Ha ha ha.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Roy.

I just wanna go
back to texas.

What about
the river?

The piranha,
the immortality?

All that bullshit?

You gonna drag
your ass home
with an 83?

You know, $200.

For $200...

I say that roy
can hit the ball
through the damn bar,

Out the patio,
into the river,

And make that pelican
right there
fly off its post.

Man: no way.

From right here.

Simms: god almighty.

This is ridiculous.

Romeo: hey.

Hey.

Hey, you got
this sh*t, pods.

You can do--
it's a hooded
4-iron, man.

You just
turn it over,

And you
start it off low--
you can do it.

He can do this sh*t.
He can do this sh*t.

He can do it,
and anyway...

I'm not leaving
till one of you men

Start acting
in a manly fashion.

Shall we just
get this over with?

[Clink]

One ball, one swing.

[Chuckling]

One...

Pelican.

From right there.

You can do it, roy.

Come on,
you're the man.
Shut this guy up.

One swing?

One swing.

I'll give you
4-to-1 odds.

sh*t, give him 10-to-1.

Ha ha ha.

Romeo,
I'll need a fairway.

Yes!
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's what he's got:

He's got 30 yards
of bar and grill.

Then he's got to go
through the french doors,

Over the umbrellas,
and then carry
30 yards of river.

He's got to try
to pop that pelican
right off its perch.

Kind of a thin lie,
wouldn't you say?

Beats all that
deep-sh*t rough
you were in all day.

Romeo: fore!
Fore in the bar!
Come on, clear it away!

Mccord: pelican's
on the other side.

Man, what a tough sh*t.

I betcha he's
gotta be thinking

About that brutal,
ego-sapping,

Manhood-robbing...

83 He buried himself
underneath today.

That's an avalanche
of strokes, a mudslide.

Romeo, you wanna get
control of that guy?

Will you shut up?
Get down.

[Woman gasps]

Romeo: yes! Yes! Ha ha!

Did you see that sh*t?!

Oh, my god!

That ought to cover it.

Yeah.

You know...

You're all f*cking nuts.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You really...
Look good.

Oh.

* Put your coffees down *

* You better step around *

* You're the only one
to get this done *

[Woman moaning]

* Close and lock the door *

* Duck down to the floor *

* Forget the phone
until you see the sun *

[Knocking]

* Hey, it's all right *

* 'Cause you know
I'll make this fun *

* Oh, when we see
the morning light *

* We'll be right back
where we started from *

* 'Cause this could take
all night *

I kind of
shanked that, huh?

No, no.

Hey, come on,
you guys.

Romeo!
[Giggling]

This is no time
for a marathon!

It's wet out here.
Damn.

Tempo is everything.

Mmm.

Perfection is...

Unattainable.

Unattainable.

[Sighs]
[sighs]

You know,
somebody said...

Golf and sex are
the only two things

You don't have to be
good at to enjoy.

Really?

Can I have a mulligan?

A what?

A mulligan.

What's a mulligan?

Oh.

Just hold still.
Don't move.

Oh.

And I'll show you.

In fact,
why don't you
get on top,

And I'll show you?

Mmm. Tee it up.

Come on, roy!

Damn!

* Baby, this could take
all night *

* Yeah *

Nantz:
welcome, everyone.

Jim nantz
with ken venturi.

The sun is struggling
to come out,

The course is drying up,

And in case you're
just joining us,

David simms
is tied for the lead
in the clubhouse

At 5 under par
with peter jacobsen.

But the real story
today, kenny,

Involves
a driving-range pro
from texas

Who sh*t
an opening-round
83 yesterday,

But now is making a run
at u.s. Open history.

The single-round record
in open history
is in jeopardy

Because of
roy "tin cup"...

Another driving-range pro,
that's all we needed.

More obscure guys.
Unbelievable story.

Yes, heroes
is what I need.

Not obscure
driving-range pros.

Ok, ben,
we're back at 16.

Quickly.

Wright:
now, this putt, uh,

He's studied it
from every angle,

And I'm sure
he knows it's--

He's just got to be firm
on the left-hand edge
with this putt.

...thumbnails
on these clowns.

I have no idea
where he came from,

But here he is
going 10 under
if he makes it.

He's getting ready
to putt.

Wright:
look at that.

Smooth as silk.

Made it!

10 Under par
for mcavoy.

Man alive!

This is, uh...
The stuff of, uh, legend,
I would say.

Who's mcavoy?
Mcavoy?

John, you ever heard
of this mcavoy guy?

Roy mcavoy
after a par at 17,

An eagle to sh**t 60,

Although no one
has knocked it
on the green

In 2 here today.

Venturi: this is not
a sh*t you really wanna
get aggressive with.

You gotta be
conservative.

You gotta think
this sh*t out.

He's in great position.

Well,
it's a 3-sh*t par 5.

Especially today,
a little wind
in the face.

John daly, in fact,
ended up in the water

Trying to go
for this green in 2.

Romeo: 237, man,
to carry that water.

237, Man.

3-Wood.

Romeo: hit the hell
out of it.

Venturi: you know, jimmy,
his adrenaline may have
gotten the better of him.

If he lays up,
he takes bogey
out of play.

He goes for the green,
he brings 6 in,
he brings 7 in.

But he's gotta remember,
he's in contention.

He has a chance
to win the u.s. Open.
He's gotta play smart.

Wow.

Nope.

[Mumbles in spanish]

Crowd: ohh!

Aw!
Aw!
sh*t!

Venturi: jimmy,
he just didn't
have enough club.

Well, what the hell.

You ride her
till she bucks you...

Or you don't
ride at all.

Nantz: if he can still
knock a wedge close
and make par,

It would conclude
one of the most
remarkable turnarounds

In tournament history.

Venturi: he's got
about 85 yards
from here, jim,

And the drop zone
is short of the water.

And he'll need
to get this
on the upper level

Of this
multi-terraced green.

[Cheering, applause]

Now, that's
a good solid sh*t

Leaving him about
12 feet away
for par,

A par and 62,
the all-time
open round record.

Venturi: good stroke.

He's got it.

Nantz: unbelievable!
Roy mcavoy has done it!

You have just seen
the greatest round

In united states
open history.

62.

The all-time
lowest round
in the majors

Doesn't belong
to a jack nicklaus

Or an arnold palmer,
nelson, hogan, or snead.

It has been sh*t
by the most improbable
artist of all.

Roy mcavoy
has his signature

On golf's all-time
masterpiece round.

You know, I got some money
from the pelican bet.

Why don't we go
somewhere fancy
and celebrate,

Get ready
for the final round?

[Whistles]
there's nothing
to celebrate.

Besides, these are
my people, right?

Waiter:
that's right.

I'm a waffle house guy.

Gotta stay in touch
with that.

Plus, he needs
his carbohydrates.

Both: yeah.

Plus, if the boys
in salome were in town,

This is where
they'd be.

Ok. All right.

Clint: yay! The legend.

g*dd*mn, we've been
on a bus for 2 days,

Riding around,
riding around.

Oh, god, it's so good
to see you.

Romeo: it's so good
to see you.

I didn't know you
were gonna come.

Dewey: sweet 62!

Hey, put the tables
together.

Put them together.

Romeo: put this up
and rest your rump.

Does this feel
like home?
Clint: yeah.

We just want you to know
that we are with you
all the way.

Doreen, uh,
meet dr. Griswold.

Uh, this is molly.

Hi.

She's, uh, my shrink.

Hi.
Well, ex-shrink, um...

We're sleeping together now,
so I can't be his therapist.

Knew it. Thanks.

Knew what?

Oh, nothing.

Good luck.

You know what, guys?

I have got
a little extra cash.

Why don't we all

Just go somewhere
a little fancy
and celebrate?

Exactly.
Why?

Well, in honor of,
you know--

This is the waffle house,
doreen.

Well, I know,
and I love the waffle--

I've been dreaming
about waffles
for...1,800 miles.

Yeah, me, too.

There's a waffle house
exactly like this

In odessa, texas.
Yeah.

Odessa?
It's in midland,
ain't it?

No, it's in odessa.

Honey, it's in odessa.
I'm from odessa, and
it's in odessa.

I was born there, honey,
and that's where it is.

To the man.

To the cup!

To the cup!
To the cup!

You didn't have
to do that.

You look particularly
lovely tonight, doreen.

Oh, well, thank you.

I don't know if anybody
ever told you,

But you're really
a helluva dancer.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but they
had one there.

That's all
I'm saying.
They had one there.

Wait, wait.
It was...odessa.

That's not what I
was talking about,

And you know the place
that we stopped?

Listen, there is
one easy way
to figure this out.

You ever tango?

Tango?

Mm-hmm.

Uh, no.

Do you?

Well, you know...

Romeo, you dance?

[Mutters]

It doesn't matter!

It doesn't get
much better than this.

[Chuckles]

Wright: well,
this extraordinary
roy mcavoy,

He just won't go away,

This, uh, humble
driving range pro

From...salome,
wherever that is.

Little town,
west texas.

It hasn't been
discovered yet.

Over to 18, guys,
quickly.

Kenny, this is john cook
at the par 5 18th,

No stranger
to championship play.

He's gonna lay up
with a 7-iron.

[Applause]

Meanwhile,
here's roy mcavoy.

Venturi:
he has the same sh*t

He knocked in the water
yesterday, jimmy.

The thing to do right now
is tune out the gallery
saying, "go for it."

He's now back
in contention,

But he must continue
to play smart.

Give me a 3-wood.

Jimmy: well,
he's pulled the 3-wood,

And he continues
to play this tournament

Without an ounce
of fear.

That is just inexperience,
just pure and simple.

This is for venturi
up there in the booth

Thinking
I should lay up.

Yeah, what does he know?

He only won this tournament
before you were born.

Dollar bills.

Venturi: caught it
a little bit high,

A little breeze
in his face.

That's gotta go,
gotta go.

Jimmy:
he's done it again.

No, not again.

He has
found the water

For the third
straight day.

What was he
thinking about?

Give me another ball.

Romeo: roy.

What?

It's a water hazard.

You go up there
and take a drop,

Try to save par,
just like you did
yesterday.

You're right.

What the hell
was I thinking?

Director:
he's tied for the lead,
this roy mcavoy,

This tin cup,
this empty cup,

This airbrain
out of nowhere.

West texas.

And, uh, i--yeah.
Thank you for west texas.

You, uh, went for
the green on 18 today.

I'm just wondering
if you think
that cost you.

I saved par,
didn't i?

Well...
Didn't i?

I'm just trying
to understand
what you're thinking.

You had the same sh*t
yesterday on 18
without a headwind--

You don't think
I can knock it on
from there?

Let's just say it's
a low-percentage sh*t.

Well, so am i.
I mean, look at me,
all right?

Look what I'm wearing.

I mean, I'm playing
for rio grande
short-haul trucking,

Brink's and brown's
sanitation, uh...

First state bank
of salome,

Woody's smokehouse.

You think a--

You think a guy like me
bothers to worry about
the percentages?

Are you nervous
about tomorrow, roy?

It won't always
be like this, you know.

What?

With me, surrounded by
all these guys snorin',

Stripper ex-girlfriend
layin' across from us...

My caddy sleepin'
next to her.

[Whispering] it won't
always be like this.

Yes, it will, roy.

It will.

Dollar bills.

Dollar bills.

Dollar bills.

First up,
in the final pairing,

From salome, texas,
roy mcavoy.

Fairways and greens,
dave,

And don't
forget to wave
as I blow by.

You mean blow up,
don't ya, sport?

You always do.

[Whispering]

Crowd: awww...

[Whispering]
son of a...

Playing out of
houston, texas,

David simms.

It's ok. I know exactly
where you are.

Don't worry.
You're in great shape.

What kind of lie
we got, boss?

Oh, sh*t. It's buried.

Uh-oh.

All right. Be careful.
Don't--don't touch it.

I know the rules, romeo.

Which way ya gonna go?

Go right through there.

Go for it.

Roy: no! God!

Don't worry about it.
It was my fault.

I gave you the wrong club.
Ok? You'll be fine.

You put a good move
on the ball. You really--

Now, don't worry about it.

Here--you did fine.
Give me the club.

Thank you very much, jim.

We've just heard
that roy mcavoy

Has taken a disastrous
double bogey to open
his final round here.

Ah, double back
there, roy.

Just keep makin' pars,
assh*le.

I'll take 18 of 'em,
all day long.

Do it,
and I'll own ya.

[Spectators clapping]

Roy: fore!

Roy mcavoy's 2nd sh*t
at the 2nd hole

Has gone deep
into the woods.

For a report
on his plight,

Let's go down
to gary mccord,

Who has spent most
of his life in the woods
and in darkness. Gary?

Ben, he's in jail here.

No chance for parole.

In fact,
the only thing he's got--

He's got to hit the ball
back in the fairway,

Try to pitch ball
on the green,

And get up and down
for his par.

He's got no chance
to hit it on the green.

50 Bucks says
I knock it on from here
with a 7-iron.

On the green?

Right on the green.

You got it.

Marsha, you want
to move these people
back right here?

I'm goin' right there.

Director:
mccord, what you got?

What's he doing?

Ben, I think he's gonna
try the old ricochet
off the port-a-let

With a hooded 7-iron.

He is! He's gonna hit it
right off the shitter!

Director:
I cannot believe he's
about to hit this sh*t.

Dave, v.t. 1,
Record, record.
Record this sh*t.

Hey!

Ben wright: roy mcavoy
has banked his 3rd sh*t
at the 2nd hole

Between the trees,
off a water closet--

Toilet or loo,
as you might call it--

And got it on the green,
somehow, in 3.

It may be the sh*t,
though,

That does get him right
back on track here
in this final round.

It could erase
that double bogey at 1.

It may be the best thing
that ever happened to him.

[Crowd cheers and applauds]

Oh, that was great.

I didn't know there was
a little mirror thing in here.

Isn't this cute?

Here. Let me
just look at my...

Looks pretty level.
Just roll it in like
you know what you're doin'.

Hit it close, sport.

Yes! Yes! Yaah!

Doreen, how did he
get the name "tin cup"?

Oh, he was the catcher
on the high school
baseball team.

The star pitcher had
a big league curve.

Not all his pitches
hit roy in the mitt.
Ouch.

Team thought "tin cup"
was a whole lot better
than "clank."

Clank...

f*ck.

Doreen: molly,
can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Have you ever had
a latin lover?

Where does he get
his name from
is what I wanna know.

Doreen: why did you wait
so long to leave that simms
character?

Well, it takes
a little while
to realize

That prince charming
might be wearing

A beer-stained
undershirt

With a sausage hangin'
out of his mouth,

Makin' $7.00 an hour in
some armadillo-infested
driving range.

You're not one of
these women who tries
to fix men, I hope.

I mean,
men cannot be fixed
and especially him.

Yeah. Well, I've been
pathetically slow
learning that lesson.

Molly. Hey.

Hi. How are ya?

Good. Hey, I could
use a little help,
I think.

You know, I've seen what
you've done with mcavoy

And all
that psychological stuff.

I think it could
come in pretty handy.

Well, hey! Let me
give you my card.

Sure.

Super. Actually, if you
got a few more of these,

There's a bunch of guys
in the locker room could
use your help as well.

You know what?
Take 'em all.

Thanks.
This is doreen.

Hi. I'm doreen.

And, you know,
my number's right there.
Just call me anytime.

I do counsel couples,

So if you want
to bring your caddy,
that'd be just fine.

Yeah, I'll think about it,
and I'll give you a call.

Ok.

Bye. Nice meetin' you.

Cheers.

Oh. Cheers.

Yes! Ho!

Boom.

Director:
that puts jacobsen
into a tie at 7, guys,

And that, uh, tin cup guy
is 1 sh*t back.

Let's keep abreast of that.

Jim nantz: that birdie
by peter jacobsen forged
a tie now for the lead

At 7 under with david simms.

And roy mcavoy
just won't go away.

He's only 1 sh*t back
at 6 under par.

Man, he's throwin'
darts back there.

If we don't make some birdies,
we're playin' for 2nd.

Mcavoy? You believe
he's still hangin'
around?

It's hard to believe
that a guy named tin cup

Might have his name
beneath mine on the trophy.

Jim nantz: so it's
come down to the 72nd hole
of this great championship,

And 3 men, all battling
to be crowned the next open
champion.

Peter jacobsen
is in the fairway at 18
at 8 under par,

Tied for the lead
with roy mcavoy,
who's on the 18th tee.

And david simms is
back there trailing by 1.

Jacobsen's layin' up.

Yeah,
he took out an iron.

Ken venturi: jacobsen's
gonna lay up, jim,

And I think that's
a very smart move.

He's tied for the lead,
virtually assures himself
of a par.

And with his short game,
he could make birdie.

You ain't gonna have
that luxury, dave.

Not if you play to win.

Jim nantz: well, we've
seen this position
before.

Mcavoy with another
perfect drive
at the 18th.

The last thing he needs
right now, jim,

Is an excuse to go
for the green again.

I didn't catch it all.

That's ok. You have
to lay up, then.

Jim nantz: this is for par.

So birdie wins it.

Birdie wins it.

Director: that's par.
Lower 3rd.

Jacobsen's in the lead.

8 Under.

And they all
have to catch him.

You or me, dave?

Roy: he's layin' up.

He's layin' up.

Birdie to tie,
eagle to win.

Gutless wonder's
layin' up.

It's a birdie to win
and par to tie for you.

You lay up, too, man.

You can still
make a...birdie
layin' up.

You know somethin',
romes?

If I make a eagle,
that puts me 10 under.

No one's ever finished
an open 10 under,
not even nicklaus.

[Golf swing]

You don't need
an eagle to win, roy.

Birdie wins! Par ties!

Now lay it up.

Birdie wins! Par ties!

Look, you can hole out a wedge
for a g*dd*mn eagle.

This is everything,
ain't it?

This is the choice
it comes down to.

This is
our immortality.

You don't need to be
thinkin' immortality.

You need to be thinkin',
"hit the 7-iron"!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This is what
always happens.

He's goin' for it.

Go for it!

Doreen:
molly, get a grip.

He only needs par to tie.
Tell him to lay up.

He'll listen to you.

Go for it, roy.
Just knock it on.

Mol--you know,
this is why we broke up.

He always went for it.

You know
what my problem is,

Is I've never
been with a man
who went for it.

Well, honey,
he's your guy.

[Chuckles]

One swing, roy.

One good swing.

John daly couldn't
get there in 2.

What the hell is he doing?

Unbelievable.
4 Days in a row--

No. It's 3 days
he's put the ball
in the water.

It'll be 4 days
if he hits this 3-wood.

Unbelievable.

Come on, baby...

We're home.

Jim nantz:
this has a chance.

It's gotta go--
this has got a chance.

I think he's done it.

A little gust there, romes.

Ken venturi:
yes, he did--oh!

Hold up!
Stay up!

Stay up!
Hold up!

No!

Whoa.
Stay up! Stay--

No! No!
Go back! Back!

Oh!

Aw...sh*t!

You can still make par
from up there, roy.

Romeo: she's right, pods.

Take a drop and a stroke
up and down,

We'll make par,
we'll tie.

I nutted that thing.

I mean,
I nutted it.

I know you did, man.

You put a helluva
move on that, man.

A little gust
from the gods
cost me.

Ok, we'll go up there,
we'll take our drop,
we'll tie,

And we'll win it
in the playoff.

I can make that sh*t!

I know you can, roy,
but not now!

Now!

I'm playin' it
from right here, now!

Take your drop
and make your par,
roy.

Now.

Take a drop, roy.

Gimme a ball.

Doreen: unbelievable.

I can't watch this.

Jim nantz: 4th sh*t.

Aw, honey.
Oh, my god.

Ken venturi: jimmy,
I don't believe this.

He could go up,
use the drop zone,
make par,

Force a playoff
with jacobsen,

And get outta here.

Easy, guys.
Now, he could still make a 5.

That's right.

We could still
have a playoff.

Stay with him,
paulie.

Oh, no!

Gimme another ball.

Take a drop, roy.

- Roy, just--
- gimme another ball!

Roy, just take
your drop.

Droppin' 5.
Hittin' 6.

Director: what the hell
is he gonna do?

Why would
he hit it
from here?

All he had to do
was walk up there,
take a drop,

And make a 5,
for cryin' out loud.

That's insane.

Somebody tackle him!

Gimme another ball.

[Crowd cheering]

Crowd: awww!

sh*t!

Producer: droppin' 7,
hittin' his 8th sh*t.

I'll tell ya,
it's a miracle
he lasted this long.

Producer:
we ought to have
a camera on simms.

He can't watch.

Somebody tell this clown
he doesn't have to hit it
from there.

All right.
Now he's droppin' 9.
He's hittin' 10.

Oh, god. I'm gonna faint.

Oh, jesus.

This is the last ball
you got in the bag, roy.

You get this one wet,
we're disqualified.

I can make it across.

Well, then do it.

Quit f*ckin' around.

Oh...

Molly, giggling:
he's crazy.

Oh, god. He's right.

You're right, roy.
Just knock it on.

Let 'er rip!

Oh, molly,
you're losin' it.

No, I have lost it,
and so has he.

He's crazy.

Honey, so are you.

11.
Now this is a 12,
guys.

Now he's gotta
start worrying
about qualifying

For next year's open
and the masters here.

But he's lost
this tournament.

He'll end up selling
countess mara ties

And renting golf carts
the rest of his life.
Look at this!

I--i don't know--
even know what
I'm feeling.

This is the most
painful thing
I've ever seen.

You know what's crazy,
jimmy?

If he doesn't
finish the hole
with this ball,

He can't turn in a card.
He's disqualified.

Oh, my god.

Oh, dear lord, please.
Oh, dear lord.

Man in crowd: get up!
Get up! Come on, baby!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Man: there it goes!

Get over.

Man: there it goes!

He's over.

Aah! Ha ha ha ha ha!

No!

I can't believe it!

I love you!

Come on!

Unbelievable!

Jesus christ!

Did you see this?
What was that?

That was a 12.
That was a 12.

He was on the green,
on in 12.

Romeo: well, boss,
we blew that one.

I didn't come here
to play for no second,
romeo.

And simms will
always be second.

Hey, meet you back
at the winnebago, man.

I'll get the blender
fired up!

Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you.

I just gave away
the u.s. Open.

Excuse me. Roy!

Roy!

That was incredible!

That was the sh*t
of the tournament!
My god!

Molly, I just gave away
the u.s. Open.

Oh, hell, roy.
It doesn't matter.

Molly, I just--

Just give him a minute.

One time in my life,
I know the safe place
to hit the lay-up,

And I still...sh*t!

I still can't
make myself do it.

It doesn't matter, roy.

My whole career,
my whole life on the line,
and i...

I just made a 12
on the last hole
of the u.s. Open!

That's right,
you sure did, roy,

And it was
the greatest 12
of all time!

No one's gonna
remember the open
5 years from now--

Who won, who lost--

But they're gonna
remember your 12!

My god, roy!
It was--

Why, it's immortal!

I am so proud of you!

I gotta hand it to you,
roy.

When you go down,
you go down in flames.

Roy, never mind what--

Roy...kiss me.

Hey, david,
you got a minute?

Not right now.

David! David!

Can I have
your autograph?

Sure. I always got time
for my fans, darlin'.

Well, don't you look cute.
Come on under.

Nice par, david.

[Tango plays]

Hey, do you know that by
finishing in the top 15
at the open,

You qualified to be
in it next year?

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, so I'm thinkin'
with your game,

You could go back
to the qualifying school
and go out on tour.

Nah.

Then I wouldn't see you.

Uh, well, actually,

I picked up a whole bunch
of new clients at the open.

A lot of the guys on tour
said if I could do
that much for you,

Imagine what
I could do for them.

Yeah, there's a lotta
head cases out there.

You know,
a man goes through
what I've gone through,

He's supposed
to learn somethin'.

I'm tryin' to figure out
what I learned.

You think
I learned anything?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, you learned
a little discipline,
a little self-control.

Yeah. I learned, uh...

You can't just listen
to your heart.

Ya gotta...
Listen to your brain.

I'm learning how to listen
to that tuning fork,

Throw caution to the wind,

And take crazy risks that
I never thought were possible.

Aw, come on, molly,

When did you ever
take a crazy risk?

Well, I'm with you, roy.

I'm with you.

Yeah.

You know, roy...

We could kiss.

You mean like a...
No-harm, no-foul kiss?

Yeah, kind of
a semi-platonic...
Little...

Sweet...innocent...

Good idea!

Mmm. Yeah?

* Close and lock the door *

* Duck down
to the floor *

* Forget the phone
until you see the sun *

* Baby, it's all right *

* 'Cause ya know
I'll make this fun *

* And when we see
the morning light *

* Well, we're right back
where we started from *

* 'Cause this could
take all night *

* And it's a dirty,
lowdown job *

* When ya do it right *

* Well, you can turn it off,
you can leave it on *

* I don't care
about the light *

* Baby, this could
take all night *

* Baby, don't be afraid *

* A little work
won't hurt your back *

* But just in case
I'm wrong *

* You'll be smilin'
when they pronounce ya dead *

* 'Cause this could
take all night *

* Well, it's a dirty,
lowdown job *

* When ya do it right *

* Well, you can turn it off,
you can leave it on *

* I don't care
about the light *

* Baby, this could
take all night *

* Well, you can turn it off,
you can leave it on *

* I don't care
about the light *

* Baby, this could
take all night *

* Yeah *

[New song begins]

* I'm goin' back to salome *

* Things could get ugly
if I stay *

* And I was just leavin'
anyway, yeah *

* I could sink or swim,
but then again *

* I could go back
to salome *

* To be the champion
of lost causes *

* To be the cutter
of the losses *

* Or just to let
sleeping dogs lay *

* I might be worse for wear,
but, darlin', I don't care *

* I'm goin' back to salome *

* To find a friend *

* To find
my way home again *

* Dear lord, please lead me
not astray *

* 'Cause I could sh**t to k*ll,
but better still *

* I could go back
to salome *

* To find a friend *

* To find
my way home again *

* And if I die
before today *

* Then you can box my ass *

* Speak kindly
when I pass *

* And take me
back to salome *
