劇情引導(dǎo)：Chris成為富家子弟的網(wǎng)球陪練，休息間對方問起阿加西和亨曼誰的球技更好，Chris回答得滴水不漏；而付錢之時(shí)的小小動作，又使得他的個(gè)性顯露無疑…

- OK, so who was better, or tougher? Henman or Agassi?
- They were both great.
- Yeah, I know, but I mean, you held your own more than admirably.
- For a while. But as the game goes on, you see how really good they are. Actually, I'll get this.
- No, no, no, no.
- No, please, Tom, I insist. I insist.
- No, no, no, no, no. Get your dirty great forehand off.
- Thank you. I'll get the next one.
