Zero quotes from Hit the Floor

Zero

I'd like to thank the two people who brought me here. That's Jude. A junior agent and a rock star at my agency. And God, with him, all things are possible.

Zero

Jude, you and I came into this with a plan. You need to trust it.

Jude

Just be careful. I risked a lot for you.

Zero

Relax. I got you.

Jude

Another Porsche?

Zero

Nope. This one's yours. I thought you'd like the color dark and tortured, just like you. I had a conversation with the agency, talked to the partners and made it official. My agent doesn't tool around town in a crap box.

Jude

Your agent?

Zero

Goodbye junior agent, hello my main number one guy.

Jude

I don't know what to say.

Zero

I’d never be here in LA, with the world at my feet, if it wasn’t for you. You still team Zero?

Jude

Abso-freaking-lutely!

Zero

Good. Now drive me to the arena you lazy bitch.

Zero

She took my reputation, all my sponsors.

Jude

I'll figure something out. I'll fix it.

Zero

This is beyond fixing. I've lost everything.

Jude

Listen to me. Listen to me! I was team Zero before and I’m team Zero now. We’re in this together. I would never leave you.

Zero

No, you wouldn’t. Never have. I don’t know what I would do without you, Jude.

Zero

Jude. You're gay!

Jude

What? I'm not gay!

Zero

You kissed me.

Jude

No, I didn't. Not like that. You were upset. I just

Zero

Kissed me on the mouth. Jude, it's cool. You were barking up the wrong tree but clearly barking.

Jude

I'm not barking up anything.

Zero

I gotta get on the plane. Jude, it's fine. You're gay. Be gay!

Jude

I'm not gay!

Jude

Hey, why are you sitting here? This is Insight Sports Network. It's #### magazine. You must be out there.

Zero

I’m knee deep in prostitutes. Getting naked and greased up isn't the image I should be going with right now. Everyone else seems to agree.

Jude

I don't care about everyone else. Business as usual is exactly the image you should be going with

Jude

Get in there.

Zero

You sure you’re not doing this to get me naked?

Jude

Haha.

Zero

Wanna oil me up?

Jude

Why aren't you dressed? We have a Devil's party to get to. Everyone's gonna be there.

Zero

Not really in a party mood.

Jude

This isn’t about chips and dip, this is the first step to rebuilding. Before the public can rally behind you, you need to get back in good with the players. You have no friends in the locker room. You need them. I’m still your agent. You need to listen to me if we're going to fix this.

Zero

You seem antsier than usual. If I didn’t know any better I’d think you have your own reasons to get to this party.

Jude

I maybe told someone I’d be there.

Zero

Who?

Jude

Danny, the photographer’s assistant from the shoot.

Zero

I don't wanna go to some party if people are gonna be hissing me. Especially if Ahsha's gonna be there. She's the one that brought this whole thing on me to begin with.

Jude

That's an even bigger reason for you to go. For PR’s sake you have to forgive her, too. And going to this party will only help you.

Zero

Forget it!

Zero

You have anything else?

Jude

You look pretty, let’s go. While there’s still a party to go to.

Zero

I’m sure Danny, the photographer’s assistant, will be fine.

Jude

Sounds like you’re jealous.

Zero

Really Jude? What’s next, you’re gonna double dog dare me to go?

Jude

Do you not wanna go to the party or do you not want me to go to the party?

Zero

No one’s stopping you.

Jude

If I did kiss you on purpose in that car, and I'm not saying I did. It's not because I was crazy. It's not because I was going off nothing. Fine. You know what? Have your way. Danny's waiting.

Zero

You don’t even know the guy.

Jude

I'm about to.

Jude

So, that’s it?

Zero

You seemed pretty satisfied a minute ago.

Jude

What are we doing?

Zero

Having a good time.

Jude

You’ve done this? Had a good time with a guy before?

Zero

I’ve been with men, and women. And men and women. It's not deep, Jude. Because I don't make it deep. I don't do relationships.

Jude

That's funny 'cause it seemed the minute you met Jelena, you were trying to lock her down.

Zero

That was all part of the plan.

Jude

Falling for her wasn't. It makes me wonder if you’re only here with me because you can’t be with her.

Zero

And that's why I don't do relationships. I can't deal with conversation like this.The only thing that matters right now is busting open the rift between Derek and Terrence. We can keep having fun... or not. Up to you.

Jude

Pretty nasty rumor about Terrence.

Zero

Not a rumor.

Jude

You did this. What do you know?

Zero

Well, let's just say, the wall is coming down. Get it?

Jude

Wouldn't Derek be the better target? If Terants really is injured, isn't Derek too bigger threat?

Zero

I don't have anything on Derek.

Jude

You heard my conversation with Derek about the coke. You could have used it to hurt him, but you didn't because it would hurt me.

Zero

Don't make a thing out of it. My folks gave me up. The foster parents who collected the kids to collect the checks. You think I came up with Zero? That's what they called me. Zero. I kept it. I showed them how big Zero could be.

Jude

What's your real name?

Zero

...I'm telling you this for a reason. Just because people are supposed to care about you, it doesn't mean that they will. The sooner you forget about Oscar, the better off you'll be.

Zero

Did you close any of those endorsement deals? I mean, negotiations are taking forever.

Jude

You're still in PR jail. It's gonna take more than the possibility of a championship to push the boulder up the hill. It's gonna take more than a ring. If you want your life back, you need MVP.

Zero

You're wound up tight. Even for you. Something happened today?

Jude

Congratulations. Bring number two.

Zero

I didn't come here to be some schmuck on a team. I came here to be a star. That's what you promised me. Instead, I lost everything.

Zero

Are you still angry about that girl that I flirted with at the wedding?

Jude

Oh, What makes you think that?

Zero

I lied to everyone else, but you. I told you I don't do relationships.

Jude

No... you don't do relationships with guys. I do. You know how I know? Because I want one, with you. After the game, all I wanted to do was kiss you. And what would you have done? You would've freaked. Not because people would think you were gay, or bi, or... whatever you are. But because they would seen an ounce of anything real from you. You're so full of crap. One disguise after another. You're buried so deep in there, you don't even know yourself.

Zero

You just figure out you're gay, or whatever.

Jude

Not 'or whatever'.

Zero

And you're coming down on me?

Jude

You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m mad. Mad at myself. Mad at this situation. Mad that I need something from you. Mad that I can’t get it. Most of all, I’m mad that there’s nothing I can do about any of it.

Zero

Where are you going? You're my agent.

Zero

Gideon.

Jude

What?

Zero

That’s my name. Gideon.

Jude

I would love to take Gideon on a date. To a public place. And listen to him tell me exactly who he is. If you want that, give me a call sometime.

Jude

Can't help but notice there only girls in the picture.

Zero

I'm all the man it needs.
