Short filmTranscript
00:08Football was never just a game for me.
00:12It was my life.
00:15My neighborhood in Brooklyn was rough and way too close to JFK.
00:21But football got me out.
00:24With the first pick, Green Bay selects Reggie Dinkins from Rutgers University.
00:30An all-pro running back, Reggie Dinkins is now a two-time NFL MVP.
00:36But the MVP I really want is that new McDonald's veal platter.
00:40It's official, folks.
00:42Brooklyn's own Reggie Dinkins is coming home.
00:452005.
00:47That season was destiny.
00:49And I was going to be a legend.
00:58No.
00:59No.
01:00I don't like this.
01:01I don't like this.
01:02That's a bummer.
01:03Okay.
01:04Well, you...
01:05It's a work in progress, obviously.
01:07But, you know, you hired me to make a documentary about you.
01:10No.
01:10I hired you to do what I tell you to do.
01:12Now I got to put on my producer hat.
01:14This movie is supposed to show people how great I am.
01:18What's up with that theme music?
01:20My fiance, Brina, should do the theme song.
01:23Brina!
01:24You got it, baby.
01:28Reggie Dinkins is the best.
01:31She knows.
01:33This is what people want.
01:38The block and rise of Reggie Dinkins.
01:47Welcome to my world.
01:50Carmelo.
01:50Yes, I was an NFL superstar, but my most important job now is loving father.
01:57Oh, look, Carmelo.
02:01I see you're taking my advice and improving your mind with study.
02:06You know it, Dad.
02:08Books are brain movies.
02:11Now, this right here, you see this right?
02:14Y'all getting this?
02:15This right here is where I'm going to hang my gold jacket when I'm in the Hall of Fame.
02:20Wait, you're not in the Hall of Fame?
02:23Stan, after your slamming career?
02:27Well, you tell me about it, Rusty, my friend, regardless of race.
02:32Unbelievable.
02:33As I always tell my students at the University of Maryland, documentary filmmaking is about
02:38piercing the artifice that people want to show to the world.
02:42Dude, did you bring these posters with you from home?
02:46Me and Reggie met in training camp back in 03.
02:48I was just a backup kicker out of the Miami of Oneonta University, but Reggie was the man.
02:55Yeah, Taco named after him at Hardee's.
02:58So you wouldn't think me and him would have nothing in common, but we just hit it off.
03:01Now Reggie lets me live in his basement.
03:04You know, best friend stuff.
03:05I also run all of his social media.
03:07We went viral last week because I had a rash on my neck and a bunch of nurses reached out.
03:15I'm honestly really impressed you've been able to hold on to your money after what?
03:19Yep, all thanks to my business manager and agent.
03:22She takes care, all of that stuff.
03:24I understand you bought a Welsh soccer team years before Ryan Reynolds and friend.
03:27Yep, she is a killer.
03:29Because of her, I made my Barracuda Monaco.
03:32Wow.
03:34Hey, baby.
03:34Hey.
03:36He's your father.
03:37Oh, for how long has this been going on?
03:42Three days.
03:43So your ex-wife is still your agent?
03:45When I needed someone in my corner, I went with the one person who was with me from the start.
03:51In the ninth grade, this Catholic school with a legit football program wanted to give me a scholarship.
03:57But it was way up Brooklyn.
03:59You know Hill Cove?
04:00Monica took all the money she saves and bought me a scooter so I could get to school every day.
04:06Man, I wouldn't be anywhere without her.
04:08And yet, she is no longer your boo.
04:12Great use of urban slang.
04:14Life is complicated.
04:16Reggie, I hate to interrupt this, but can I please talk to you alone?
04:21I don't think so.
04:22See, Arthur Tobin's style is immersive.
04:25He even filmed me sleeping last night.
04:28Talking in your sleep is for babies.
04:31If I ever talked in my sleep, I'd be so embarrassed.
04:38Reggie, when you asked me, I said don't make a documentary.
04:43I also said don't buy that football made out of the original Miss Piggy.
04:47I am telling you, letting cameras in your home, that's a bad idea.
04:52Okay, remember when Carmella was little?
04:54You said going on a family cruise was a bad idea because you was afraid of norovirus?
04:58And then we all got norovirus?
05:01Yeah, but we also got to see the northern lights.
05:04That was magical as hell.
05:06Look, I know you think this is going to get you back on top.
05:10The Hall of Fame, doing color commentary.
05:12You know it's not just about that stuff.
05:14I want to be respected again.
05:16I want Carmella to have a father he can look up to.
05:19Well, if you want respect, this documentary is not the way to get it.
05:24All that's going to happen is you're going to end up showing your whole ass to the world.
05:27You're welcome, world.
05:28I got a donk.
05:29Also, it's a huge waste of money when you're not making any.
05:33What was the last endorsement I was able to get you?
05:36What is this an ad for?
05:38Look, yeah, we both thought we'd be in a different place by now.
05:42I just negotiated, Reggie, the biggest contract in NFL history.
05:47And one day, I'm going to be on the other side of that table.
05:51I'm going to run this team.
05:52And we'll still be married.
05:55But I actually have a plan.
05:58That's what I came to talk to you about.
05:59I have an interview tomorrow at IDK.
06:02The agency?
06:03This could be a good move for us.
06:05Their sports management department reps, Steph, Saquon, LeBron.
06:10I need full names.
06:11You know what I mean?
06:12LeBrons, I know.
06:13At a big agency like IDK, maybe I'll have enough pool to get us both back on track.
06:18So let's just forget about your little movie, okay?
06:21No, that's happening.
06:22We already started.
06:24Do you seriously trust some random dude with a camera more than me?
06:27Come on.
06:28Arthur Tobin is cool.
06:30Really?
06:30There is no way that man could ever understand where you come from.
06:34He is the whitest per-
06:36You have got to be kidding me.
06:39Good talk.
06:40We both agree nothing's going to change.
06:43And my Miss Piggy football is a great investment.
06:46Just use that last part.
06:50I found it.
06:51The sword I was talking about.
06:53Tom Cruise used it in that movie where he played the samurai.
06:56It's true.
06:57He actually did that.
06:58We should use this in our movie.
07:00Reggie has an amazing idea for the ending.
07:04I get taken and Reggie rescues me with a famous sword.
07:10Reggie, you know what the word documentary means, right?
07:13Well, I assume it's from the Latin word documentum, meaning lesson or instruction.
07:18I took Latin in college because I thought it would help me meet Dominican chicks.
07:22But then I liked it.
07:24So many languages come from it.
07:26I'm just trying to make this movie the best that it can be.
07:28Documentary and you can't really make a documentary work, Reggie.
07:32Frankly, all this fake play acting you're doing is really getting in the way.
07:35I'm sorry, but he wrote things for me to say.
07:38Dad, you're such a good dancer.
07:40Can you teach me how to doujee?
07:41It's Dougie!
07:42We practiced this!
07:44I know it's Dougie.
07:46So, we have got to talk about what happened after the 2005 AFC Championship game.
07:52I mixed up some phone numbers.
07:54It can happen to anyone.
07:55Reggie Dinkins, you straight owned Indy today.
07:58How does it feel to be Super Bowl bound?
08:00Better for me than you.
08:01Because you owe me $250,000.
08:04$100,000 for the win.
08:05$100,000 for going over 200 yards.
08:07And $50,000 for scoring more than one touchdown.
08:10I scored four.
08:11What?
08:11Are you saying that you gambled on the game?
08:16Very funny.
08:17You know I bet on every game.
08:19You're my bookie.
08:20Hey, and put $1,000 in quarters.
08:22We're going to Dave and Buster's.
08:24You know it, brother.
08:25Now, where's the phone number for that live TV interview I'm supposed to do?
08:31You were immediately banned for life from football.
08:34Yeah, but I only bet on myself.
08:36And I only bet to win.
08:37That was more motivation to play good.
08:39Sort of how, like, a waitress works for tips.
08:41Without you, your teammates lost the Super Bowl to Seattle 61-2.
08:45You were dropped by Progresso Soup.
08:47Your episode of Ghost Whisperer never even aired.
08:49Yeah, and that really messed up Melinda's season arc, okay?
08:53That's not what this documentary is about, dude.
08:55Like I told you on the phone, we don't really know what this documentary is about yet.
08:59It will emerge.
09:00You know, I told you, this was a puff piece, okay, that I'm paying for.
09:05Hey, none of this is going in the documentary.
09:09Now, I want you to come film me dunking on a regulation 10-foot hoop.
09:15Shoot me so you can't see the ground.
09:18Okay, come down.
09:18My turn.
09:21Can we talk about the gambling?
09:23Oh, geez.
09:25Uh, Reggie said I wasn't supposed to talk about the G word.
09:27Of course, my dad was upset.
09:30I don't like talking about it either.
09:32So you want to talk about the worst thing that ever happened to my family?
09:35But I don't know if he meant gambling or grandma, because in my family we don't talk about it much,
09:41but grandma shop lifts.
09:47Come on, Marty.
09:48Guys, I know we said film everything, but can you give it a rest, please?
09:52I am on to you, Mr. Author Tobin.
09:55Yeah, I know why this bearded infant took this job.
09:58Oh, what are you, which thing?
10:00I don't know what you mean.
10:01It turns out, I can't even trust you to do what Reggie is paying you for.
10:06I saw one of your little movies at four times speed on my phone.
10:09It was good.
10:10You won the damn Oscar.
10:12So why would the director of A Rose for Joshua even be here?
10:18To make some artsy movie where Reggie looks like a tragic loser?
10:22No, no, no.
10:22I just, I think there could be a real doc here.
10:25Short for documentary.
10:27You know, maybe something about our national gambling addiction or how fame...
10:31Sir, I was right.
10:32You're here to get what you need.
10:35But you, sir, are underestimating Reggie Dinkins.
10:37He is not going to let you hijack his movie.
10:40But he doesn't even want a movie.
10:42He wants a commercial.
10:44And I swore I would never make another commercial.
10:50You, me, same.
10:53And besides, I couldn't make Reggie's movie even if I wanted to because I can't...
10:58Can't.
11:00What, Arthur?
11:02So I spoke to the NFL lawyers earlier today and there is a slight chance they won't let us use
11:08any game footage.
11:09No, no, no.
11:10I know Reggie Dinkins is a stain on the shield.
11:13But I just think that by redeeming him, we can...
11:17Okay, look, please, please, Susan, I need this to work.
11:28This is over.
11:30Okay.
11:31Okay.
11:32I said, please stop shooting me, Martin.
11:34Right, but he said to follow you.
11:37Oh, did we film some stuff you wouldn't want people to see?
11:41How's your own medicine taste?
11:43Very cute.
11:43Reggie, why would I use any of this footage?
11:45Because you work for me.
11:47Well, Arthur won't be working for you very long.
11:50He can't even get the NFL to let him use your old game footage.
11:54Seriously?
11:55I mean, what's a sports documentary without sports?
11:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:58I told you not to make this stupid movie.
12:01It is a waste of money.
12:03Yeah, my money.
12:04The money that pays for your BMW and your son's fart medication.
12:08Can we not put that in?
12:09And my agent worked for me, Monica.
12:12So if I say we're going to waste money, we're going to waste some money.
12:16Reggie's not your man anymore, Monica.
12:19Monica's never been anything but lovely to me.
12:21I just want to be in the documentary.
12:24Archibald, Reginald Dinkins, I have put my life on hold for you.
12:28But if you're not going to listen to my advice, there's no point in me even being here.
12:32I do have other options, you know.
12:34So go.
12:36I'm the only reason why the people's interested in you anyway.
12:39I'm all you got.
12:40That's not fair, Reg.
12:41She represents a kid who plays Fortnite and Gina Davis, but just for archery.
12:46You go tell those agent people you don't represent Reggie Dinkins no more.
12:50Let's see how long they want you around then.
12:54If you insist, I quit.
12:58You know what?
12:59She's right.
12:59This is a waste of your money and my time.
13:02I don't even care that my career's over.
13:04This could have been a really good film, but you had to ruin it.
13:09So you can mail my posters back to me at the University of Maryland Center for Documentary, Anime, and Pornography.
13:14Good!
13:15I'll make this movie without you.
13:17Yeah!
13:18Movie!
13:19Movie!
13:25You don't need to do it in slow-mo, man.
13:27We could just do that in the computer.
13:28I'm going as fast as I can, Rusty!
13:35Good job, baby!
13:42Hey, Dad!
13:45What if I play you in the reenactments?
13:47I mean, I know all your old moves.
13:50I'll call that to go away, you!
13:53We're going to figure this out.
13:54Without Arthur Tobin and she who shall not be named.
13:58Yeah, but, you know, that fight with Mom, that was...
14:02Mom?
14:02I would never fight with my mother.
14:04She lives in Florida and she's a saint.
14:06I know.
14:07Mom, Mom.
14:09Like, she didn't quit for real, right?
14:12Because we do need her.
14:13For what?
14:15Brianna can do anything she can do.
14:17Bri Bri!
14:17Will you call my knee doctor and tell him that little hat bone is gone?
14:24Okay, honey.
14:29What?
14:30Nothing.
14:31Come on!
14:33You can be real with me.
14:35Like I always say, a son is just a homie you make.
14:39You do say that.
14:41It's just, I really want this to work.
14:45In real talk, it hasn't always been easy for me either.
14:48Playing football with Dinkins on my back?
14:51I take more crap than anyone.
14:53And there's a kid on our team named Osama Epstein.
14:57You think I don't know that?
14:58I know I hurt you all.
15:00You, your mother, even Rusty.
15:03But if I can't fix all this, son, then what kind of man am I?
15:09I'll be stomping off right now, but my knee is locked in this position.
15:14Monica!
15:15Bro, we are so amped, and I don't use that word lightly, to meet you.
15:21But I gotta start by asking about Reggie Dinkins.
15:24Right.
15:25Well, full disclosure, I recently ended my professional relationship with Reggie.
15:31That is music to my ears.
15:34And I don't even listen to music.
15:36Like, what's the point?
15:37Well, I'm glad you're amped.
15:39Oh, no, no.
15:40I was amped before, but now I am full-on pumped.
15:43To be honest, you repping Reggie was kind of the only thing keeping us from getting pumped.
15:48That guy was dead weight.
15:50He's the father of my child.
15:51No, I get it.
15:52That's why dropping him is such a baller move.
15:55And now, um, I guess you can go back to betting on football, right?
16:01He'll be fine.
16:03Reggie's actually making his own moves.
16:05He's working on making a documentary with an Oscar-winning director.
16:10You may know author Tobin.
16:12Oh, my God.
16:15Tobin?
16:16That's hilarious.
16:18Wait, what's hilarious about author Tobin?
16:22Reggie, I can't do this.
16:24You know I was excited about the documentary.
16:27But if it's between the movie and Monica, you gotta choose Monica.
16:32I called every doctor in your phone, and they all DJs.
16:35And Julius Irving.
16:36This is not just about your knee.
16:38Monica is a part of your life.
16:40She's a part of our life.
16:42You remember on vacation when we got lost in Tuscany?
16:46But Monica had put an air tag on you, and that's how the police were able to find us.
16:51If we weren't for her, we used to be trapped in that mausoleum.
16:54I knew she was a part of the deal going in.
16:56She has to be.
16:59The talent guys here, they used to rep Tobin.
17:02After he won that Oscar, they got him a full-on Marvel movie.
17:06He directed a superhero movie?
17:08He tried.
17:10He couldn't handle the pressure.
17:12Total onset breakdown, tanked the whole project.
17:14It got swept under the rug because Disney didn't want to tarnish the IP.
17:18But the video is epic.
17:21Here, I'll put it in the chat.
17:23You are Professor Squeeze, obviously.
17:26This tennis ball here is Death-a-tron, and these are moons.
17:32Space babies?
17:33Why are there more tennis balls?
17:35Wait, the scene is a tennis match now?
17:38Well, so some of these tennis balls are actually tennis balls.
17:41Which ones?
17:43This movie makes no sense.
17:48I am not an organ donor.
17:50Do not take my organs.
17:53I'm sorry.
17:54I'm sorry, but this is too perfect.
17:57Reggie Dinkins and Arthur Tobin together?
17:59Those two deserve each other.
18:01Yeah.
18:03Maybe they do.
18:06Wait, wait, wait.
18:07Hang on, hang on.
18:08Let me play the video again.
18:10Run fast.
18:11That's what I do.
18:12I like to run fast.
18:14And you can do.
18:15It's cool to run.
18:17What are you doing?
18:18This is that rap album.
18:19You so wise, you convinced me not to release.
18:23Because you always look out for me.
18:25And if you stop doing that, I'll die.
18:28So I'm listening to you.
18:30No more movie.
18:31The cameras are only there because Marty and I don't know how to transition into a friendship that isn't based
18:36on work.
18:37Love you, Reggie.
18:38So please, form a baby.
18:41Take me back.
18:42Only professionally.
18:45Fine.
18:46Because I didn't take the job.
18:49Remember that scooter that I bought you back in the day?
18:52I always bet on Reggie Dinkins.
18:56Just like I did illegally.
18:58But Reg, those L.A. pricks, they think you're a lost cause.
19:03And the truth is, I'm out of ideas.
19:08But you actually have one, so you want to take your shot.
19:14Are you saying what I think you're saying that I can get a gun?
19:20I'm saying we need to go find Arthur Tobin.
19:27Mom, we missed him.
19:32Did you lie about being from Baltimore?
19:36What a weird lie.
19:38No, I just needed some time to think.
19:41Arthur, I get why you don't want to go home like this again.
19:45I know about Professor Squeeze.
19:47It's not your fault, robot that will be voiced by Keira Knightley.
19:50It's yours, Viola Davis.
19:53Okay, wow.
19:54Yes.
19:55Congratulations, Monica.
19:56You are right again.
19:57I can't be trusted.
19:59Do do anything.
20:00I can't even sell out properly.
20:02And I haven't worked since.
20:04They repossessed my car, so yes, I had to take the bus here to the first job I have been
20:08offered in two years.
20:10So you lied when you said you took it, because I'm your childhood hero.
20:14I never said that.
20:15You're not my childhood hero.
20:17Here's the thing, Arthur.
20:18I was wrong about you.
20:20I thought there was no way you could understand Reggie's life, but you may be the one person who can.
20:24You messed up just as bad as me.
20:27You.
20:28Me.
20:29Same.
20:32Oh, you're saying you want me to come back?
20:35If we're going to do this, we're going to have to do it your way.
20:37Reggie has to face what happened.
20:39Like in David Beckham's movie when he admitted to having all those dumbass haircuts.
20:43Remember them cornrows?
20:45He met Nelson Mandela with those.
20:47And hey, if this thing actually somehow works, it's a win, win, win.
20:55But, you know, you're going to also have to show people the good stuff.
20:58Reggie messed up, but he deserves a second chance.
21:02You both do.
21:04Use that in a documentary.
21:07Maybe.
21:09At least that was real.
