Outside: Moose is not too happy that he came up short in the six-person elimination gauntlet match two weeks ago. He heads over to a basketball court to redeem himself and his greatness. He asks a few New York locals if he can play ball with them. They agree. He tells them that he was a former NBA player. One of the guys says he's a little nervous playing ball with him because he saw what he did to his tennis coach awhile back. Moose tells them to not worry. He places a bet, if he makes a three-pointer, he'll take them out for beers. He makes the shot. Instead of keeping his word, he just attacks the players.
