You're a good friend, but you're an asshole

A Large White Man and a Small Indian Man, both in their late-20s, are playing tennis in the rain. Night is coming on. There are no lights for the courts.

After a fervent volley, the Large White Man hits a shot that lands on or near the line. It goes past the Small Indian Man.

Small Indian Man: Out.

Large White Man: FUCK YOU!

Small Indian Man: What happened?

Large White Man: (walking toward the net, pointing his racquet in a threatening manner at the Small Indian Man) You are an asshole, Raj. You're a good friend, but you're an asshole.

Small Indian Man: What happened? I didn't see.

The Large White Man breaths aggressively. He walks back to the line.

The Small Indian Man serves. They play. The Small Indian Man hits it out of bounds.

Large White Man: YES.

It begins to rain harder. They continue playing as it gets dark.
