The Winning Season (2004) - full transcript

Hey, Rhonda,
don't go anywhere.

I want to talk
to you.

Diego, I see you
eating chicken fingers.

I know.

Man: Asshole.

Hey, bill,

come on. It's lunch.
Get moving.

I got tables
that need clearing.

Thank you.

Bill.

Hey.



Terry.

Yeah.hey.

You work here, huh?

[Sniffs]

No, I'm just...

You're just...
Bussing a table

in your free time?

What do you want?

Uh...

Can we talk for a second?

Wow.

So...how you been?

Fantastic.

Cheese stick?No.



Can I ask you a...
Kind of a sensitive qu...

Are you drinking?

Hey, come on, man.
What is this?

I don't know
if you've heard this,

but, uh...I'm kind of

the principal over
at plainview now, so...

Wow.
Congratulations.

That sounds
really boring.

Ok. Um...Before
I change my mind,

do you want to coach
basketball for US?

Wow. Um...Yeah,
that's...Ha ha ha.

Yeah.

I can't believe buller
would leave his team.

He's built such
a good program
with those boys.

No, no, no. I want you
to coach girls varsity.

No. Hey, hey, hey.
Well, wait, wait.

We got a great team.
You've got to see them.

Ok? They're fantastic.

My daughter's
on the team--tamra.

She's huge,
big as an ox.

She's got huge hands,
like her mom.

I don't know, Terry.
That's...

All right. Look.
You know how many hoops
I had to jump through

just to be able
to offer you this job?

All of them. I had to
jump through all of them.

I appreciate that,
Terry,

but I can't
coach girls.

Women hate me.
You know that.

Yeah. Ok. Well...
Then just stay here

and wash dishes
and eat other people's food

and, you know...
Enjoy that.

It's not so bad, you know.

I haven't got a lot
of responsibility.

You're right.
There's no
responsibility.

Spreading
the love around.

Can you hold that
for 2 seconds?

I quit.
What?

You want to
go out with me?

I'm married.

All right. Forget it.

I'm taking Bobby with me.

Who's Bobby?

Excuse me. Sorry.
I'm really sorry.

Come on, Bobby.
Let's go.

We're going to
get you out of here.

Have a good meal.

I heard they finally
hired a new coach.

Oh, yeah?

Guess who it is.

Uh...phil Jackson?

Bill greaves.

Who's that?

Remember that guy
who used to coach

boys varsity
over in culver?

Uh...no.

Remember,
his entire team quit

right in the middle
of sectional finals?

So why'd they hire him?

He's probably
the only guy
they could get.

We should just
quit right now.

Shut up, mindy.
You can't even play.

You shut up.
Neither can you.

I hear he has problems.

His team made it
to the sectional
finals, ok?

He must be good.

Hey.

You can go now.

Lisa, are you
kidding?

What is
your damage?

Nothing.
I just don't see

why they all have to
keep moving here.

You do realize
you're black, right?

Obviously.

Well, our dad says
that if we didn't
have illegals

to work
the factories,

the country's entire
infrastructure
would collapse.

Your dad sounds
like a pussy.He is.

Hasn't our infrastructure
already collapsed?

[Ringtone plays]

Hey, you.

Who are you talking to?
Who is she talking to?

I don't know.

Some guy she met
at shoes etc.
Last weekend.

What guy?

He has a mustache.

Gross. Why does she
always go after guys
with facial hair?

I know. Right?
It's so disgusting.

It's like kissing
your dad.

Ok. You just take it
to a whole nother level

that is really
unnecessary.

Shut up.

Announcer's voice:
Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the 1989 class
triple-a Indiana state finals.

Starting for
the plainview chargers,

number 21, bill greaves.

Is this girls varsity?

Yeah.

I'm bill greaves.
I'm your new coach.

Where's the j.V. Squad?

We don't have
a j.V. Squad.

This is it?

Yeah.

Whoo. Terry put
you guys up to this?

This is a joke, right?
Ha ha ha...

What is this,
Terry?

That's just
6 girls, man.

Uh...yeah. Yeah.

Those girls, they
don't even look like
they're in shape.

Well, the girls program,
ok, it's not as in-depth

as the boys is.

Jesus Christ!
What program?

That's just some
bored-looking girls

waiting for the tits
to come in.

Hey, now, come on,
you know.

My daughter's
on that team.

One of those girls
has a broken foot.

Um...
Yeah?

Hey. We were
just wondering

if you were coming
back to practice
or not.

No, not today, sweetheart.

Go home,
get some rest,

and we'll start tomorrow.
Tell everyone to go home

and play with
the little kitties, ok?

Asshole.

Hey. Hey! Mouth.

See? Girls--
they hate me.

Yeah. It's not
just girls.

Hi. Sorry we're late.

Hey. [Ahem]

Hey. How's it
going, kiddo?

How you doing?
Good to see you.

Can we talk
for a minute?

Yeah. What do you want?

I got
your message.

Yeah. Thanks
for calling me back.

Don't drunk-dial
our daughter.

I'm not drunk-dialing
our daughter.

I'm coaching basketball again.
I wanted to tell her that. Ok?

No. We're...We're
really happy for you.

Yeah? Why didn't you
call me back?

I had a crazy week.

You don't got 10 minutes
to call me back?

Look, I got to go.
Make sure she studies

for her algebra test.

Oh, that'll
be fun.

She's barely passing.

I...

You could help her
if you wanted.

What do I know
about algebra?

More than me.

Bye, mom.

Bye, sweetheart.
I'll call you.

Don't believe her.
She doesn't call
people back.

Hey.

[Basketball game
on television]

Beautiful.
Beautiful.
All right.

You watching
this?

Mm-hmm.

Shit. Shit.

Hey, get off
your phone
and talk to me.

What's new?

Um...I'm playing ball.

Basketball?

Yeah.
I made varsity.

You made varsity?

Van hunt? They got
a really good team.

What position?

Shooting guard.

Shooting guard.

You a starter?

No.

How's your
ball-handling
come along?

Yeah, it's fine.

You know, you really
limit yourself

when you only
drive to the right.

We should go over
to woodland tomorrow

and see how you're
coming along.

I can give you
some things to try.

Yeah, I...
Already have a coach.

Doesn't mean we
can't shoot around.

Mom really wants me
to study for algebra, so...

You know, just because
your mom hates me

doesn't mean
you have to.

She doesn't hate you.
She feels sorry for you.

She feels sorry
for me?

She says you're
the loneliest man
she's ever met.

Yeah. Well, I never
felt more lonely

than when I was
with her. So...

You really shouldn't
say things like that.

It makes me feel weird.

[Sighs]

Eat your sandwich.

Ok.

[Gargling]

How many minutes
you get on that?

Wow. So, like, I could take
your picture like that?

[Click]

That's great.
That's neat-o.

All right, everybody,
put your balls away.

Hustle up.

Line up
on the baseline.

You guys know
what a baseline is?

Hi.

Hi.

What's your, uh...
What do you do here?

I don't know.

Why don't you go
play in traffic?

Get out of here.

Jerk.

Wow.

I hear you think
we're losers.

Is that true?

Did you say that?

Yeah.

What's the point?

Why practice
if our coach
thinks we suck?

I don't know.
Prove me wrong.

When I blow
on this whistle,

I want you to sprint downcourt
towards the other baseline.

Every time you hear
the whistle,

I want you
to change direction.

If you touch a baseline,
you can stop running.

Everybody get that?

[Tweet]

What an asshole.

I bet he has
a small penis.

Why would you
say that?

Because men
with small penises

always treat women badly.

Who told you that?My mom.

Ha ha ha.
Oh, god.

Oh, my god. Damon just
walked in, you guys.

He looks so cute
in his jacket.

Just go talk to him.And say what?

Hello.

Are you kidding? I mean,
that's just so obvious.

This is pathetic.

Wait. What
are you doing?

Oh, my god.

She's not going
over there.

I can't even look.
Please.

Is she talking to him
or his friend?

Oh, my god.
She's kissing him.

No. Shut up.
Ok, I'm not
listening to you.

Good luck.
Thank you.

Is she...

He wants to talk to you.

What? What did you
say to him?

Don't be a freak.
He's waiting.

Go.

You have to go.

What did you say to him?

I just asked if I could
borrow his ketchup.

Oh, no.

Hey, Damon.

Hey.

How's it going?

It's all right.

You hungry?

No. No. I'm ok.
Thanks.

Do you want to go
sit in my car?

Sure.

All right.

Do you like
music?

Yeah,
I love music.

[Hip-hop music playing]

This is cool.

Yeah?
You like it?

Sure.

I could make you
a copy if you want.

Really? Thanks.

Wait. What
are you doing?

I'm done.

You're not done.
Who says you're done?

If she's done,
I'm done.

Put that away.
Keep jumping.

No cell phones.

Keep jumping.
Let's go.

Let's go.
Come on, buttercup.

Keep jumping.

Defense!

Slide! Slide! Slide! Open!

Slide! Slide! Slide! Open!

Defense.
Defense!

No, I said defense!

Defense!

[Whistle blowing]

Slide! Slide! Slide! Slide!

Slide! Slide! Slide! Slide!

Jump!

Jump!jump!

Slide.

That's all you got?

Now you're ready
to pick up the ball.

Lisa! Ball! Ball! Ball!

Over here! Over here!

What are you, blind?
I'm open.

[Tweet]Yo.

What's going on?

Is there a reason
you're not passing it to her?

All right. Look...

I don't know what shit you girls
have between each other.

I don't give a shit. I got
enough shit in my own life.

I got a whole
universe of shit.

I don't need
any more of your shit.

So just keep your shit
off the court, ok?

You can't start
drawing lines here.

I mean, if we did,
you'd already be on
the wrong side anyways.

What do you mean?

Listen, I hate
to tell you this,

but aside from
Billie Jean king
and figure skaters,

nobody considers girls
real athletes, so...

Who's Billie Jean king?

She's a golfer,
and that's not true.

There are lots of people

who like girls
basketball.

Oh, yeah?
When's the last time

you saw a girls
basketball game
playing at a sports bar?

I can't go
to sports bars.

Hey, look,
if it makes you
feel any better,

we're all
on the wrong side.

I mean, the game really
belongs to the blacks, so...

The men.

You're
an asshole.

A big asshole.

What did you say?

I said you're
an asshole.

I'm an asshole?

Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Hey, let me
tell you something.

What you girls know
about basketball

could fit in a thimble.

Now, I can help you
with basketball,

and believe me,
you girls need help.

But I can't do dick
about anything else.

You want to complain about
how unfair that is,

I can just leave
right now.

You want to
play basketball,

I could teach you
how to do that.

Why don't you come get me
when you decide

what you want to do.

[Door opens and closes]

You're not allowed
to smoke in here.

Ok. Look...

I'm just going to
be honest with you.

I live
with my grandmother.

Yeah?

She watches "jeopardy"
every night

and goes to bed
at 8:00.

So?

I need something
to do. We all do.

So you gonna keep
playing or what...What?

No. Everyone
wants to quit.

I can get them
to change their minds.

Who says I want them
to change their minds?

Come on.

So do it.
Change their minds.

Well, spit it out, sister.
What do you want?

You just have to do
something for me.

[Tires screeching]

Ok.

Whoa. Oh, my god.
It's not my fault.

It's the car.
The car is doing it.

Ok. Easy
on the speed bumps.

I got
a hangover. Ok?

Sorry.

Why hasn't anyone
taught you how
to drive?

I don't know.

Signal. Signal.

Well, where are
your parents?

Aren't they
around at all?

They're around somewhere,
just not around me.

What about
your grandmother?

I mean, why doesn't
she teach you
how to drive?

Do you think I want to learn
how to drive like an old lady?

Yeah. Well, you're
kind of driving

like an old lady
right now.

Oh, for god's--
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

I think
I need a break.

Should I stop?

Ok. No. Oh! Jesus.

Can I go?

Um...yeah. Why don't you
take me to the hospital?

Because I got whiplash.

[Cheerleaders cheering]

Go, huskers! Whoo!

Bill?
Bill greaves?

Huh?

Derek springer.

We played against each
other in high school.

I'm sorry. I'm not...
I'm drawing a blank.

I played
for prairie hill.

I was a grade
beneath you.

Ok. You want an autograph
or something?

Nice to see...
It's good to see you.

So I hear you're
a busboy now.

What did you say?

I heard you're
a busboy now.

Yeah. I heard you're
a girls basketball coach.

Good luck.
Don't need it.

Terry: All right!
Let's play some hoops!

H-o-o-p! Hoop...S!

Plainview chargers!

Where's your boyfriend?

It's a long drive.

Yeah. Too long
for Damon.

[Whistle blows]

All right.
All right.

Hey, huddle up.
Huddle up.

Come on. That means
make a half-circle.

Let's go.
All right.

You know, a lot
of people say

winning
doesn't matter.

I'm not one
of those people.

I think it does.
I think it
matters a lot.

In fact, I think
it's the only thing

in this life
that matters at all,

and the people
who say it doesn't

are just...Assholes
plain and simple.

The losers in life
are always forgotten.

So there's no reason
to play

unless you're
playing to win.

You understand?

Girls: Fight! Fight!
Fight! Kill!

[Cheering]

All right. What are
you waiting for?

Let's go.

Shouldn't we do something
or say something?

Like what?

Like something
like that?

Yeah. Ok.

Uh...ok.

"Go, fight, win"
on 3. 1, 2, 3.

Go! Fight! Win!

Go! Fight!

Let's do it.
You guys are great.

Bill...you can't
say "a-holes."

You can't say
the "a" word.

What do you mean?

Did I say that--
"a-hole"? When?

In the thing,
in the huddle.

Hey.
Hey.

I'm Trish.

Tamra.

Give me some
of the popcorn.

It's all right.

Ow!

Come on!
I'm open.

Lisa!

Tamra, I'm open!

Go, tam-tam!

That's all right.

Come on, guys! Defense!

Heads up on "d."
Heads up on "d."

[Buzzer]

Shouldn't you be
trying to comfort them?

What?

Shouldn't you be trying
to make them feel better?

I don't think
there's anything

that can make you feel better
after a game like that.

Sure there is.

♪ I'm feelin' good
from my head to my shoes ♪

♪ know where I'm going,
and I know what to do ♪

♪ I tidied up
my point of view ♪

What is this?

♪ I've got a new attitude

♪ I'm in control,
my worries are few ♪

[Girls laughing]

♪ Plus I've got love
like I never knew ♪

♪ ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I like that music.

Yeah, so did they.

You like basketball?

No.

All right.

Well, how'd you like
to be my assistant?

No.

[Sighs]

Ok. Listen.

I need some help.

[Chuckles]

I don't know how to deal
with all this...Girl shit.

50 bucks a game.

50 bucks? What--
there's no budget for that.

You're getting paid.

Ok. I'll give you $10.

$20.

$11.

$11?

$11.

15, and I get
to use the gym

to work out
during practices.

You work out?

All right, we lost,
and we lost bad.

Now, part of that
is my fault.

I never coached
girls basketball before.

Aside from my daughter's
freshman games,

I never even watched
girls basketball.

I didn't expect
the other teams

to be so much better.

I just thought everyone
would kind of...

Suck.

That's obviously
not the case.

We're behind.
We need to catch up.

We need
to catch up fast,

or we're not even
going to be able

to lose our games
with any dignity.

You have a daughter?

From now on, we're
going to run practices

mornings and afternoons.

From now on
until the end of the season,

I don't want you to think
about anything but basketball.

I don't even want you
to dream about anything else.

What about
schoolwork?

Yeah. All right. Schoolwork.
Basketball and schoolwork.

We can't forget
about our families.

No, no. Family
is important.

I'm not asking you
to take me that literally.

What about
global warming?
Excuse me?

The planet's dying.
It's kind of a big deal.

Yeah. Don't you care?

All right. All right.
I don't want you to think about

anything but basketball,
schoolwork--

what did you say?

Families.
Families,

and global warming.
Ok? Got it?

Yes.

I want you to treat these
like they're your babies.

"Treat these
like your babies"?

That's a sexist
analogy.

You should tell US
to treat them like our pets.

You all right there, kid?
Yes, darling?

Can we treat them
like puppies,

like little
chihuahuas?

I want to put them
in my purse.

Oh, yeah.
That sound great.

Do you want
a little puppy food, too,

for the balls?
Yeah? Oh, yeah.

Just take them with you
wherever you go. Ok?

Home, out to eat,
at the mall,

when you're
taking a dump.

But we'll look
like idiots.

No, you looked like
idiots last night.

You start taking this game
a little more seriously,

and that will change.

Hey.

What's going on?
Where's Molly?

Molly's at Gracie's
birthday party.

What? What are you
talking about?

It's my day.

I tried to call you.
You didn't--

you really need
to get a cell phone.

No, no, no, no, no.
That's...That's...

That's not how this is
supposed to work. Ok?

Ok, bill, just sit down.

Yeah, let's sit down
for a second.

This is my day,
Stacy, ok?

I'm not going to
take less time than
I already have, ok?

You want to
know why she feels
uncomfortable around me?

It's because you never
pick up the phone when I call.

Calm down.
You pit her
against me.

You're legally obligated
to tell me where she is.

I'd think about that
if I were you.

Tell me where she is.

Whoo! Give me that ball.

Let's go.
We're leaving.

Dad, what are you
doing here?

Come on.
We're leaving.
Let's go.

No, I just...
No, I just got here.

What are you
hanging out
with him for?

He's got bad form.
Let's go.

Let go of me!

Get in the car.

No.

Get in the car.
Get in the car right now.

Get in the car
right now.

Hey. Hey, is everything
all right here?

Everything's fine.
I'm her father.

Molly.

Hey, Molly.

[Knocking on door]

Come on, Molly.
I'm...I'm sorry, ok?

Molly?

Ok. I'm going to
open the door.

Molly, I'm opening
the door, all right?

[Knocking on door]

Hey.
Hey.

Um...

I need some help.
Molly...She took off.

She ran out,
down the fire escape.

And I don't know
where she is.

She's ok.

Goddamn it!

I was worried sick
about you, young lady.

I was worried
sick about you.

Look, you go home.
You don't want to push it.

Let me talk to her.

Don't come
in my house.

Hey, hey, hey.

Oh, here we go.
Mr. Right is here.

Everything ok?
Is everything
ok with you?

We're fine here,
bill.

Get out of here,
will you, please?

You're getting
out of line.
Yeah?

You ok?
Yeah,
I'm fine.

All right. I'm
right over here.

Come out here.
I want to talk to you.

Billy, look at me.
She wants me to call the cops.

She wants me to get
a restraining order.

What? What are
you talking about?

You embarrassed her.

Molly, come on. Let me
talk to you for a second.

You should go home.

Molly, come on--

What are you willing
to do to win this game?

Anything?

Anything, huh? Gee.

Would you follow
her? Come here.

Go ahead.
Now push me.

No balance,
right?

No.

I want you to set
a wide base.

I want you to get
low on that defense.

You understand?
Get your arm out.

Be the boss.

This is our house,

and you're
the home team.

We've got a whole crowd
of people out there

waiting to see
what's going to happen.

They didn't come in here
to see US...

See you guys have fun
or get along as a team

or any of that
other bullshit.

They came to see
their school kick ass.

That's the only thing that's
going to make them

want to come back,
so let's get out there.

Let's give them
what they want. All right?

Whose house is it?

Our house?

Our house.
Whose house?

Whose house?

Our house.

[Clang]

I can't hear you.
Whose house?

Our house!

Our house!
Whose house?

Whose house?
Our house!

That's right.

Is there anything
you'd like to add?

Donna?

What?

Would you like
to say something?

Oh, uh...

You know, I remember
when I was a girl...

My father,
he would take me
out to shoot hoops,

and I wasn't
very good at it,

but he always
said to me,

"Donna, I think you
should stop playing
basketball--"

ok. That's enough.
That's good.

That's good.
That's good.

Let's go.

Let's get out there.

Let's go.

[Whistles]

Nice.

[Cheering]

I brought this
for you.

What is it?

It's a burrito.
I thought

you could document
our downfall.

Abbie, I'm open!

I'm open!

She's open!
Give it to her!

Give it to her!

She's open!
Give it to her!

What are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?

What are you thinking?

Tamra!

Timeout! Timeout!

Timeout! Timeout!

Come on. Come on.

What are you guys
doing out there?

What are you doing?

Tamra, you've got to
stay tight on that big girl

under the bucket.
Come on!

She's scoring all
the points for her team!

What do you mean
"big girl"?

What?
Do you mean fat?

Are you
calling her fat?

Look, just because
someone's big,

it doesn't mean
they're fat.

Ok, I didn't say
she was fat.

No, but you
called her big.
It's the same thing.

Jesus Christ.
Who gives a shit?

See? That's
the attitude

that causes girls
to have eating disorders.

Yeah.

What do you want me
to call her?

Her name...
Is Cindy.

Why don't you
try that?

Ok, fine. Can you
stay tight on Cindy?

Is that ok with you?Yeah.

Is that ok
with you guys?

Thanks.
Thank you.

She can't shoot
from outside,

so let's make them
shoot it outside, ok?

[Buzzer]

Let's go.

Terry: Go, chargers!

Bill: Come on! Good hustle!
Let's go! Let's go!

Pass it to Kathy!
Kathy's open! Pass it to her!

Pass it!

[Buzzer]

What's the matter with you?
Kathy was open.

At least it was close.

What is she
doing here?

Just be nice, ok?

Hey.

Hey. Sit down.

Thanks.

So, where are you from
anyway, Kathy?

Arizona.

Yeah? Why'd you move
to Indiana?

My mom and I
were looking for a place

with a little more
racial hostility.

Where's your dad?

California.

What's he doing
there?

He plays
for the Lakers.

No, he doesn't.

Which one is he?

The Mexican one.

Wait. Which one's
the Mexican?

Shut up, mindy.
You shut up.

[Knocking on window]You're so hopeless.

I got to go.

Is that...
Her little brother?

[Laughter]

Where were you tonight?

We had our first
home game. Remember?

Oh...shoot.

Did you forget
or something?

I'm really sorry,
Abbie. Did you win?

No.

Well, I made you
this mix.

You did?

Do you want to
listen to it?

Sure.

All right.

[Hip-hop music playing]

Thanks.

♪ Aww, yeah

♪ all right,
I might just quit my job ♪

♪ so we can party
all night long ♪

You're a...
You're a good dancer.

Thank you.

Ooh!

Oh...wow.

It's so good.

It is.

I think
we should kiss.

Go, warriors!

[Cheering]

Bill: Get your positions.
Let's go.

Open!
Tamra!

Nice pass. Let's go.

Drive. Foul.
Come on! Come on, man!

It's all right, chargers.
Let's go.

Let's get on them.

Let's get on them.

Ow! Uh!

This ain't hockey.
Where'd you find these girls?

Grabbing
on her shirt.

What the hell
are you doing? Call that!

[Whistle blows]

It's about time.

Lay off.

You got a problem?

Do you?

Come on, chargers.

[Coughs] Spic.

Don't miss, wetback.

Terry: That's ok.
That's ok.

Hey, did you hear about
the Mexican who went to college?

No.

Yeah, me neither.

[Girls laughing]

Bill: Kathy,
what are you doing?

What did you
just say to her?

Nothing. I don't know
what you're talking about.

I didn't say anything.

Why don't you
say it out loud
so I can hear you?

Can you repeat that
for me, please?

Because I can't
hear you.

You're talking a lot
of trash right now.

You know that?
Say it again.

Go ahead.

Hey, hey, hey.
Can you help me out?

You got
balls, right?
Say it again!

Can you help me out
with your player?

What's going on?
What happened?

They called her
a spic.

They what?

They called her
a spic!

Ok. That's just tactics.
You can't listen to that shit.

That's the oldest
trick in the book.

I heard your coach
was a dishwasher.

Beat her ass.

[Whistle blowing loudly]

Guys! You guys!
Come on!

Shame on you.

Guys, get off. Wendy,
stop pulling her hair.

[Door opens]

Hey.

What's up?

Please don't make me
go back out there, coach.

I'm not going to
make you go back
out there.

Don't worry.

I hate it here.

Everyone's
so freaking white.

Yeah, I know.

No offense.

None taken.

You want to know
something funny?

Yeah. I love
funny shit. Tell me.

I've never even
been to Mexico.

I probably wouldn't
fit in there either.

Listen, you know...
Kids are stupid.

Yeah, but it's not
just the kids.

Well, you know,
people are stupid.

It starts
in childhood,

and it continues
all the way to...

All the way
to death.

I let everybody down.

No, you didn't.
No, you didn't.

I just walked out
on the game.

[Door opens]

Sorry, you guys.

Yeah. Lisa punched
someone in the face.

What?

Here.

Are you serious?

Are you all right?

Yeah. Are you?

Yeah.

Did we forfeit?

It got really rough
out there. Yeah,
we forfeited.

And their spirits
are down.

So I think
we need to do--

you need to do
something for them.

You know...

Like what?

We're going to be
passing places to eat.

Maybe you could take
them out for dinner.

I don't have
any money.

You don't have
any money?

No, I can't take...
No. What am I gonna...

Ok. I'll pay for it,
but you know...

You're going to
have to pay me back.

You should try dipping
your French fries
in your milkshake.

That's disgusting.

It's really good.
You should try it.

Let me try that.
How about an onion ring?

No! Oh, that is
so disgusting.

What, do you, like, got
a rule book or something?

Tight on her, Abbie.

All right.
Come on! Come on!

Don't let her score!
Don't let her score!

Don't let her
make that shot!

Come on, guys!
Let's run it!

Come on!
Get it back.

That's it!
That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah! Abbie, foul. Foul.
Stop the clock.

No, I'm not
going to foul.

Stop the clock!
Stop the clock!

All right.
That's good. Good.

All right. Timeout. Timeout.
Bring it in. Bring it in.

You don't ever
contradict me.

If I tell you to do
something, you do it.

You understand me?

All right. When that girl
misses her free throws,

Abbie's going to take
the ball downcourt

and look for
the clear shot.

Wendy, I want you
to set a pick

at the 3-point line,
set it hard.

Kathy's going to
cut off this screen

and go back-door.
Understand?

Go for the lay-up.
Bring it in.

What about Wendy?

What about Wendy?

She's going to be wide open
on the 3-point line.

Yeah?

Everybody's
going to be expecting

Kathy to take
the last shot, so...

Wendy can make it.
I've seen her do it.

You can make it,
right?

Yeah.

[Clapping slowly]

Ok.

Everybody's going
to be expecting

Kathy to take
the last shot.

Wendy's going to be free
after she sets the pick.

Abbie, you get the ball
to her right away.

Wendy, don't miss.

What if
she does miss?

What?

Well, what if she does?
You just put more
pressure on her.

You should say,
"try not to miss,"
something encouraging.

Tamra, shut up.

You're gonna make it.
You understand?

All right. Everybody
bring it in. Let's go.

Go, fight, win, on 3.
1, 2, 3.

Go! Fight! Win!
Yeah! Let's go!

Get out there!

Whoo!
All right!

Box out, tam-tam!

[Whistle blows]

[Cheering]

How amazing is that?

That's what
I'm talking about.

That's what I'm talking
about. Yeah.

How do you girls
feel right now?

Great.good.

Yeah? How'd you like
to feel like that

every day for the rest
of the season?

You played
a good game tonight,

but none of you
played your best.

Are you kidding?

Hey, we just won.
What more do you want?

I want you to keep winning.
It's a good start.

Now let's go.
Let's get in the locker room.

It was good.

Lisa: Did you see
your dad cheering for you?

He was like...

I don't think
anyone missed it.

Thank you
very much.

And the red pants.

Oh, hi.
Hey.

Thanks.

How funny was
tamra's dad

at the game
last night?

He was so funny.

"Tam-tam, box out."

"Tam-tam!"

Hey, chargers!

[Cheering]

Hey, bill,
where you been?

The game's
about to start.

I can't...
I can't do it.

What do you mean
you can't do it?

You see that girl
on the Van hunt
team, number 3?

That's my daughter,
and she hates me.

She hasn't spoken
to me in 2 weeks.

I can't coach
against her.

Well...
What do you mean?

You can't just leave.

Come on.
You've got to be a man.

I can't do that
to my daughter.

She may be
your daughter, but...

Those are your girls
out there.

Go, chargers!
Go, Lisa!

Terry: Go, chargers!

[Cheering]

Go, tam-tam!

[Buzzer]

Tamra, post up.

Come on, girls.
Box out.

Come on.
Timeout. Timeout.

Uh...

[Exhales]
Um...

Are you ok, coach?

Yeah, i'm...

I mean, tell US
what to do.

Come on.
We can win this.

Ok, Molly, I want you
to watch number 3.

Molly?who's Molly?

Abbie, I want you
to watch number 3.

She can't go left,
and you might be able

to get a couple more
turnovers. Ok?

I want you two
to set a trap. Ok?

Are you sure
you're ok?

Are you
sure?
Yeah.

Let's bring it in.

All: Go! Fight! Win!

Go, chargers!

Let's go, girls!

Hey!

[Whistle blows]

You apologize
to that girl right now.

No.

Billy!
You apologize
to her right now.

Get lost!

Stay out of this.
Stay out of this.

Don't make a scene.
Ok? Don't talk
to me like that.

You shut up!
And you're a loser!
And I hate you!

[Door opens and closes]

So...that was
your daughter,
right?

Yeah. Yeah.

What...what did
you do to her?

What did I do to her?

I didn't do
anything to her.

Well, why does she
hate you so much?

Her mother
brainwashed her.

What did you do
to her mother?

Nothing.

Well...we think
you should take her

to see a counselor
or something.

Ha ha ha.

Is that
what you think?

Well...i think
it would help.

[Exhales]

We don't need
any help. Ok?

It really helped
me and my dad

after our parents
got divorced.

Yeah. It helped me
and my dad, too.

Whatever.

A therapist helped me stop
confusing issues with my mom

with issues from
my father's abandonment.

Jesus Christ.

Is everybody here
from a broken home?

My parents are still
together, coach.

But they hate
each other.

[Sighs disgustedly]

[Indistinct voices]

Radio: ♪ christmastime
has finally come today-- ♪

[Turns off radio]

That's ridiculous.

Hey.

Hey.

You want
some popcorn?

Uh...no,
thank you.

Um...can I ask
you something?

Sure.

[Ringtone plays]

Do you like
women?

Who told you that?

No one.

It's none
of your business.

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's nothing
to be ashamed of

if I did either.

When did you
first know...

I mean,
if you did?

[Sighs]

Attraction
is chemical.

You feel something
for someone...

Your body just
lets you know...

Sometimes before
your mind accepts it.

Why? You think
you might be?

Oh...i don't
think so.

Is that Wendy's
boyfriend?

Yeah.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Laughter]

Hi, coach.

Hey, Wendy.
Who's your friend?

Hey, Joel.
Nice to meet you.

You know,
she's 16, man.

17, actually.

Yeah, whatever.
You're still too young.

Hey, it's not
like that.

What's it like?
Huh?

Oh, you want
to know, huh?

You know, she's
wearing a retainer.

You know that?

Stay off the sports
drinks, coach.

Stay away
from my team.

Yeah. All right.
You coming, Wendy?

Move the ball.

That's good.
Ok. Drive it.

Drive it, Abbie.

You're late.

Yeah. Well,
I'm here now.

Uh, we...Have
a new addition.

Who the hell
are you?

Her name's flor.

Can you speak English?

Not really.

Can she play?

Do cows say moo?

Great. Well,
welcome to america.

We'll get you a ball
with your name on it.

Oh, uh...

The girls want to talk
to you about something.

Yeah?

What now?

Keep the toilet seat
down or something?

The boys played their first
home game last night,

and the girls thought
that they were treated better.

Yeah.
It's not fair.

Well, life isn't fair.
What can I say?

Adapt or menstruate.
Right, flor?

The girls want to bust
through a paper banner

like the boys.

Yeah.
Yeah.

And we want
an announcer, too.

And cheerleaders.

Bill: That stuff comes
with winning games.

We have been
winning games.

You know, at least
a couple, right?

Yeah.
Yeah.

[Burps]

I'll see
what I can do.

I'll jot it down
on my to-do list.

[Cheering]

Oops.

It happens. Ok?
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Ouch! Oops.

Ha ha ha.

What's he doing
out there?

I don't know.

Hey, coach,
are you ok?

Hey. Hey.

Can you help him up?

Come on.
Do you need help?

I was just trying
to find my...

Hey. Ow.

Give me my hat.
No, I was just...

Are you ok?

Yeah. I'm just
trying to find
my keys.

I'll help you.
Are they in here?

What's wrong with him?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Here. Can you stand up?

Thank you. Boy, you got
a lot of balls.

Um...you know what?
They're not in here.

So I think that
we'll just give you
a ride home.

Whoo! Whoo!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Thanks, girls.
You ok?

What, did you have
a party in here
or something?

Yeah, a big party.

Let's have
a party right now.

Put on some music.

What was the occasion
for this little party, coach?

What? You didn't...
You didn't hear?

I won "asshole
of the year" award.

I didn't know they gave out
an award for that.

Yeah. They got awards
for everything now.

Let me guess.
Is this the trophy?

Yeah. Isn't it
gorgeous?

Lisa: Were you any good
in high school?

Are you kidding me?
I was great.

Really?

I led the only team
in plainview history

to make it to state.

Did you win?

No.

Well, then you
couldn't have been
that good, then.

Ooh, sassy pants.

Somebody's
a sassy pants.

Was my dad any good
at basketball?

He was good at putting on
his jockstrap.

Is this
your wife?

Ex.

She's pretty.

How do you get her
to marry you?

What am I,
a tuna fish sandwich?

What is that?

Coffee. Have some.
It'll make you
feel better.

I don't want a coffee.
I want a beer.

No. No more beer,
coach.

You don't need
any more beer.

Take it from him.
Take it from him.

[Beer opens and sprays]

Bill: Ha ha ha!

So, what? Were you guys
high-school sweethearts?

Yeah. Something like that.

What happened?

Just...you know...
High school ended. That's all.

Did you play
ball in college?

Uh...no.

Why not?

It just didn't work out.

Well, where
did you go?

I.u.

That's the man
right there.

So you couldn't
make the team?

I could have made
the team.

I could have made the team
plenty and then some.

I just don't
understand.

I mean, if you
could have
made the team,

why didn't you
play?

He had a kid.

Is that true?

Thanks for the ride,
but I think

it's time
you should go maybe now.

Abbie: Well, we don't want
to leave you by yourself.

I think we'll just stay
until maybe you want to,

like, drink some water
and lie down.

Just go.

Are you sure?

Are you sure
you don't want US

to clean up
or something

or help you out?

Just go, please, ok?

No, we're not
going to leave.

I don't think you're
all right here by yourself.

I'm fine, sweetheart.

We'll see you
at practice. Ok?

See you, coach.

Are you sure you don't
want US to stay?

Go.

Hey, you can recycle
these cans, you know.

Get out!

[Loud clanging]

[Door closes]

[Crying softly]

Aah! Ah...Jesus.

Morning.

What are you
doing in here?

What the hell
are you...

Just thought
I'd come by

and say hello,
you know.

We haven't spoken
much since you
started, so...

Yeah. I've been
busy. I'm...

The girls are really
coming along, huh?

Tamra can't stop
talking about you.

Yeah. She's good.
They all are.

They're doing...
They're doing a good job.

Well, I told you.

Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, you...

What's this?

You rode
your bike today?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I lost my keys.

Ha ha ha.

Yuck.

Yeah.

So, um...
You find them?

Yeah. Yeah. They
were under the seat.

Uh...

Something, uh...
Something...

You want to say
to me or...

No. No.
Guess not.

Ok.

Uh...

Just, uh...

Try and keep ahold
of those keys, ok?

Yeah, yeah,
yeah.

You got it.
You got it.

[Mutters]

Hey, listen, man.

Um...[sighs]

I'm just
going to say it.

I think your assistant
coach is a lesbian.

Yeah.what?

[Exhales] Boy,
that feels better.

How do you--

I mean, I don't know.

Don't, like, you know,
quote me or anything.

I'm just...
I've just got a sense.

The way she moves.

Yeah. Yeah.

Her general demeanor.
She drives a bus.

She wears very...
Comfie sneakers.

I'll check her out.
I'll see. It's going
to be fine.

Ok.

Ok.
All right.

Weird.
Great. Hey.

Hey. Hey,
thanks, man.

All right.
Go. Fight. Win.

All right. Who wants to talk
about what happened last night?

[Opens can]

Huh?

Who wants to talk about
why we lost to a team

that was shorter, slower,
and less talented than US?

Huh?

Anyone?

I see. Well, if we're
not going to talk,

then we might as well
get a little running in.

Hit the baseline.

[Tweet]

[Tweet]

Where's
your sister?

She's at shoes etc.

Shoes etc.?

Yeah, with
that new guy.

[Tweet]

You know how beautiful
I think you are?

Hey, party's over,
shit head. Let's go.

Hey. Hey, what
the hell is this?

Didn't I tell you
she was 16?

I'm 17!
Whatever.

Coach, it's not
what you think.

You have no idea
what I think. Ok?

Wendy, you're not
going anywhere.

Let's go.

Oh, you're having
a private practice, huh?

Oh, my--what
are you doing?

Get out of my face,
asshole.

He's fine. I'm sure
it happens to him all the time.

Let's go. Let's go.

I'm sure it happens
to him every day.

Did you just throw
a shoe at me?

No. No. No, I didn't
throw anything at you.

That wasn't me.

Let's go. Come on.
Come on. Let's go.

You picked
a real winner there.

Oh, what are you,
jealous?

No.

No, I'm not.

You're jealous.

You're totally
jealous, you perv.

I hate to bust
your bubble, honey,

but you're not
my type.

I'm moving.
I'm moving.
Go ahead.

[Horn honks]Go ahead.

What's your type?

I like big tits
and an onion butt.

What's an onion butt?

It's an ass that brings
tears to your eyes.

All right.
Everybody gather around.

This is last year...
Triple-a finals. Ok?

These girls are from schools
just like this one.

[Girls laughing]

What's wrong?
What are you laughing about?

What is it?

Oh, shit. You guys
are looking at my...

All right.
It's not funny.

Here you go. Save me
some of those pizza things.

[Beep]
Excuse me.

I want you to watch
this point guard.

They're really good.
You guys could be this good.

Watch this defense--
keeping them outside. See?

They can't penetrate.
See that?

They're really good.

What is she
doing?

Oh. Ow. Did she
just take that?

What was that,
a foul?

She just takes it.

So, are you gay, or do
you got a fellow, or what?

That's not a very
polite way of asking.

I'm sorry. Are you
a...Lesbian or...

Does it matter?

Hey, I don't care.
I'm just...You know.

It's a small town.

A lot of people
would be uncomfortable

knowing that
somebody like you

is hanging out with
their teenage girls.

Do you think they're
comfortable with you?

I've never known
a gay before.

I don't know how
this works. I mean...

Sure, you have.
They just didn't
tell you.

Ok.

Since we're being
so honest here,

you mind if I ask
you a question?

I hope you're not
going to ask me

to impregnate you,
are you?

That's cute.

No. What happened
with those boys
at culver?

Someone said something
they shouldn't have,

said something
about my daughter,

and I did something
I shouldn't have.

Just for saying
something about
your daughter?

I lost control,

and my players
didn't back me up.

Let's just
leave it at that.

Lisa, Kathy against
tamra, Wendy, and flor.

Let's go.

What did I tell you girls

about putting this shit
on my court?

No! No! No!
No!

That's not trash!

Well, what is it?
Barbie shit? What is it?

Open it.

What is it?

Just open it.

This is very thoughtful of you.
Thank you.

We wanted to get
you something.

Ok. Back to practice.
Let's go. Come on.

[Tweet]

Let's go. Come on.
Thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

Hey, can I get a...

Can I get a...

Get a pack
of kools, menthol?

They're minty.

Abbie: What makes a guy
turn into a jerk?

Why are you
asking me that?

Look, do you know
Damon tisdale?

Yeah, the ugly guy.

Ok, he's not ugly.

Short kid.

I know.
He's a point guard.

He's...i know.
He's good.

We're kind of dating,

and...i don't know.

He's never been
to one of my games,

and I've been
to all of his.

Well, you know, a kid
like Damon tisdale

is not really thinking
about the big picture

right now.
You know what I mean?

No, I don't. I mean--

I mean, you know,
he's a star athlete.

He's popular. He's got
a pretty girlfriend.

As far
as he's concerned,

the sun shines
out of his ass.

Ok, then, what is
this "big picture"?

The big picture is
the rest of his life.

That's the big picture.

He's going to be pumping
gas in a few years.

I don't know if that's
supposed to make me
feel better or worse.

I don't even think he's
that great a player,

to be honest with you.

Put your bras back on.
Let's go.

Stop talking about boys.
Come on.

We have a job to do.

Bring it in.
Let's bring it in. Let's go.

It's the last game
of the season.

Up until tonight,
we've won some of our games,

we've lost
some of our games.

This game determines
whether or not

we have a winning season
or a losing season, and, uh...

That determines if we get to go
to the sectionals or not.

You know what?
I don't really give a shit,

because this has been
a good one for me.

And...so just
go out there and...

You know,
do the best you can.

Ha ha ha.

I mean, you know,
try to win.

[Laughter]

Are you drunk?

I'm not drunk at all.
I'm serious. I want you to win.

But don't think that
that's not--

hey, wait a minute. Don't think
that that's not important,

not to win. Ok?

You know what I mean?

Ok. Bill?

Oh, yeah. Hold on a second.
Hold on. Hold on.

[Laughter]

Oh, check it out.

[Cheering]

2, 3. Go! Fight! Win! Whoo!

Get back.
Let's get back.

Go, chargers!

Come on.
Defense, girls.

That's ok. That's ok.

All right.

[Knocking]

Hey. What's up?
What are you doing here?

Nice room...
Thank you.

In your garage.

I know.
Isn't it cool?

Yeah. We had
our last game tonight.

We won, f.Y.I.

We're going
to the sectionals.

That's great.

What were you doing?

I mean, I always
make it to your games,

and you've never even
come to one yet.

Um...

I, uh...I forgot.

Yeah. Look, Damon,
I like you, you know.

You're really cute.
You're a good kisser.

Thank you. Yeah,
I like you, too.

But I just...
I don't think

you're seeing
the big picture here.

What do you mean?

What do you
want to do

with the rest
of your life, Damon?

What do I
want to do?

Be on reality
television. Ha ha.

Right. All right.

Good-bye, Damon.

Where are you going?

What's wrong
with reality TV?

Everything ok?

Everything's
fine, yeah.

Can I get you
anything else?
Another coke?

What is that...
That orange drink
they're having?

Oh, that's
the wallaby darned.

Oh, yeah?

It's our most
popular drink.

All right.
I'll have--

you want one?
Yeah, why not?

I'm celebrating
tonight, so...

Oh, yeah?
What's the occasion?

End of
my first season

as coach of
the lady chargers.

You coach girls basketball?Yeah.

That's so cute.
I used to play.

Were you good?I was ok.

Yeah, I was not bad.

I bet you were.
Oh, man,

I bet they love
having you as a coach, huh?

They're ok.
I don't know if they

like me so much
all the time, but...

No, I bet
they love you.

Oh, ha ha ha!

Well, I will bring you
that wallaby darned.

All right. Thanks.

You almost done?

I feel great.

Great.

These are delicious.

They are. Yeah.
You...

G'day.

Yeah. Ok.
All right.

Maybe I'll get
another one
of these babies.

Um...how about
some coffee, coach?

Is that a hint?

Maybe.

You know what
would be fun--

[crash]
Oh, shit.

No, no. Don't.
Leave it. Leave it.

Please leave it. Please.
Somebody will get it.

I was just
going to ask you

if you wanted to
maybe go somewhere else

and have one of these
with me?

No, but thank you.

I didn't mean
to grab you there.

I was just...
I was trying to...

It's fine.Get your attention.

Here's your check.
I'll be back.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't
have asked you out.

That was probably...

Hey.

Oh, sweetie.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?
What happened?

I made a mistake, honey.
I made a bad decision.

Oh, my god. Girls...

What are you
doing here?

Why weren't you
at practice?

I got fired.

We heard.

How the hell
are we going to play

in the sectionals
without you?

You're going to be fine.

You've got Donna.

Donna doesn't know
anything about
basketball.

To US, you're still
the coach, so...

You'd better start
thinking of a plan.

Ok?

And fast.

Let's go.

Here.

What's this?

It's the tapes

from all the games
I've been taping
over the season.

See you around.

It's a federal offense.
Did you know that?

You can't sell
your prescriptions.

You just can't.
They're yours. Ok?

You take it
for a reason.

[Knocking]
I want to finish
the season.

Forget it.

You want me
to say please?

I don't care what you say,
all right, bill?

You blew it.

Let me go to
the sectionals, Terry.

I said you blew it!

Come on, man.
Let me just--

you broke
my daughter's heart.

You broke
all their hearts.

I'm sorry.

Get out.

Hey, girls.

Um...i just wanted
to take a moment

before we head to
the sectionals tomorrow morning.

I know you're nervous.
I am, too. But...

Just remember
we're a team.

That's not something anyone
can ever take away from US.

Now, I've never been
part of a team before.

And at my age,
it wasn't something

I was expecting
to ever happen.

So...i want to thank you
for giving that to me.

My whole life, I've felt
apart from other people.

I don't feel apart
from you girls.

And...no matter
what happens tomorrow,

um...I'll always
be proud of you.

Go, chargers!

Go, chargers.
Ha ha ha!

[Cheering on television]

Uh! Man on man.
Man on man.

We can win.

We can win.
We can win!

Sectionals.

Man: Get off the road,
you moron!

Shut up!

Donna: Everyone ready?

No.

Are you serious,
you guys?

The game
hasn't even started,

and you're already sitting here
like we just lost.

I mean, come on.

Have you realized how much
we've accomplished this year?

I mean, we're a winning
team, guys. That's cool.

And I know
bill isn't here,

but we were the ones on
the court winning those games,

each and every one of them,
all by ourselves,

with our talent and our skills
and our minds, right?

And if bill was here,

he wouldn't let US
sit around and mope, right?

Am I right?

Yeah.yeah.

Si.

I said, am I right?!

Yeah.yeah.

Oh, my god.
Whose house is this?

Our house.
Our house.

Get up. Get up!

I said, whose house
is this?

All: Our house!

Our house! That's right!

[Shouting]

Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go!

Abbie, get your head
in the game. Focus.

Come on, girls!

No!

Hey, chica.

Can I see
your green card?

Kathy, I'm open!

Whoo!

Hey!

Whoa! Whoa! Coach!

Coach, is that you?

Yeah. We can win.

What are you
doing here?

Why are you
so sweaty?

I rode my bike.

Oh, we missed you!

We don't have
enough time.

We don't have
enough time.

Listen, you can
beat these girls

if you switch
your defense to
a full-court press.

These girls are--
they're healthy, you know.

They're...they're tall
and healthy,

but they're not
good ball handlers.

I want 2 defenders
on the ball at all times.

Keep them flustered.
They're gonna lose their cool.

You got it?
Stay on them.

All right.
We got it.

Double-team them.
Let's go.

What are you
waiting for?

What are you
waiting for?

Let's go! Come on!
Come on! Go!

Come on. Come on.

Double-team them.
Yeah.

Tell them
to set the trap.

Keep them
in the trap.

Trap? Trap.
Set a trap.

I need a cigarette.

You got to go.

What do you mean?

What do you mean
what do I mean?

That's my team.
Come on, guys.
Come on.

Bill.

I like the shirt.

Yeah? I know you're
being sarcastic.

We won.

You're kidding me!
That's great!

We won! We won!
52-50.

All right!

Good, huh?

Yeah.yeah.

What? Are you kidding me?

She was nailed!
Can you hear me?

Billy.
Hey, Billy. Hi.

Hey, hey.
How you doing?

How are you?

I'm ok.

Why don't you
come sit with US?

Is that ok with
Mr. Perfect over there?

He's not perfect.
Come on.

Oh, come on, ref!
That was a foul!

This guy's an idiot.

She's going to be
heartbroken.

Listen, tell her she played
a hell of a game, will you?

Will you tell her that?

Yeah, I will.

She really did.

Everybody, huddle up.
Huddle up. Come on. Come on.

All right. Now listen.

I've seen this team play,
and they're all "d,"

which is easy to get around
if you look for the open shot.

You guys seen "hoosiers"?

I want you to pass the ball
4 times before you shoot.

What's the most beautiful...
Beautiful play in basketball?

Does anybody know?

Passing?
Dribbling?

That's right. Passing.
You know why?

Because it binds you
together as a team. Ok?

Remember, it's not
whether you win or lose,

it's who's afraid
to play you next time.

Let's go. 1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3.

All: Go! Fight! Win! Whoo!

Yeah! Look them
in the eye!

What's going on?

They're double-teaming Kathy.
What should we do?

Ok. That's ok.
That's ok.

Wendy and Lisa
are open.

So tell them
to set the pick
and roll.

Ok.

And tell tamra
to get those
offensive rebounds

and chin it.

Chin it when
she get those
offensive rebounds.

Are we winning?

Good game.
Good game.

Good game.
Good game.

Hey, what
happened?

We're going
to finals tomorrow!

Hey! You're going
to finals? All right!

Who are you playing?
Who are you playing?

It doesn't matter.Who?

Prairie hill.

Prairie...shit.
Ok. All right.

I'm going. I'm going.
I'm going.

I'm going. Ok.

Hey, hey. Call me.

I'll meet you
in the parking lot.

All right. Good, coach.

Abbie: Are you sure
he's coming?

Are you ready?

Coach!
Let's go.

Ok.

We were waiting
for you.

Let's go!

So what's
the plan?

I don't know.
I'm not sure yet.
I don't know.

You better come up
with one quick.

We're going to be there
in half an hour.

Ok. I'm working on it.

How do you
expect to sneak
by tamra's dad

without him
recognizing you?

[Exhales]

Ooh, I have
an idea.

What?
What is it?

Yeah? Yeah?

What is it?

You're gonna hate it,
but you're gonna do it.

Thank you. Thank you.
Good move.

You guys know where

a phone booth?

Down the hall
to the right.

[Barking ringtone playing]

Hello?

Hey. Tell tamra to guard
that girl closer.

What the hell
is going on?

Bill, where are you?

Never mind where I am!

Tell tamra to play
tighter defense!

And tell everyone
to pass the ball more!

[Beep]

Timeout.

Hello? Hello?

Bill just called.
He's watching.

And he's not happy
with what he's seeing.

Uh...tamra, you need
to play tighter defense.

You're making it too easy
for that girl to score on you.

And everyone needs
to pass the ball more.

Where is he?

I have...
I have no idea.

Bill: Oh, come on.
Come on. Come on.

Call a timeout!

Call a timeout!
Call a timeout!

[Whistle blows]Timeout.

Ask tamra what
the hell is going on.

He wants to know
what's going on.

Why is she letting that girl
score all over her?

Why aren't you
guarding that
girl more?

Huh?

Something wrong?

What's going on?
What's going on?

I...

I'm getting
this vibe.

Um...see, I feel...
I feel...Funny around her.

And I feel something.

Talk to me.
What's happening?

She's feeling
this vibe.

What do you mean a vibe?
What's a vibe? What do you mean?

She thinks she might
have a crush on her.

Oh.

Oh, ok.

All right. Well, then
if that's the only problem,

tell her to switch opponents
with Kathy, that's all.

Just tell her to...
Good luck with that.

Operator: Please
deposit 25 cents.

Aw, man! Come on!

Hey.

Hey.

What are you
doing here?

What am I doing here?

Yeah, I guess this
looks pretty weird, huh?

You played a hell
of a game the other day.

Thanks.

How's your algebra
coming along?

It's ok.

You have any change
or anything?

You wouldn't happen
to have a quarter?

Here.

Thanks.

Hey, Molly, i'm
really sorry about--

the game's
almost over.

Ok.

[Barking ringtone playing]

Call a timeout
as soon as you can, ok?

Where are you?

I'm around.

Wait a minute, you!

Time...out.

Put me
on speakerphone.

Ok.

Guard: He's out the door!

Bill: Now listen
to me carefully.

Look in
each other's eyes.

And you know that feeling
you're feeling right now?

It ain't gonna get
better than that.

So, Kathy, you've got one of the
best jump shots I've ever seen.

It's beautiful.

Just keep firing them
up there. Ok, kid?

And if they start
to double-team her,

look for Wendy
and Lisa. Ok?

They're going to hit everything
they take from here on out.

And tamra, I'm counting on you.
Keep those rebounds.

Hey!
Aah!

I don't want them
getting any second chances.

Yep. Got it.

Abbie, you're the leader
on the court.

You got great instincts.

Trust them. Use them.
Don't lose your cool.

Got it.

Mindy, I like you.
You got spunk.

Even though you didn't
get to play,

I think you've got
a lot of heart,

and you're a big part
of this team.

Flor, I'm really glad
your parents crossed the border

to come over
to Indiana.

You learn English, and you'll be
a starter next year.

Now listen.

I want you to leave it all out
there tonight. You understand?

Don't pace yourself.

Leave your heart
on the court. You hear me?

I love you girls.
Go kick some ass.

On 3. 1, 2, 3.

Go! Fight! Win! Whoo!

you are, you know.

And this isn't
your last shot.

It's not
your last shot.

I let everybody down.
I'm so sorry.

Come on. I want you
to get up now.

Come here. Come here.
Everybody come here.

Come over here.

You played great.
Come on.

Bill: Let's
get off the court.
Get off the court.

Hey, hey. Huddle up.
Huddle up.

I want you to go in there
and shake their hands. Ok?

And keep your chin up.
Hey, Kathy, keep your chin up.

There's going to be
a lot of shit

that moves
through your life.

There's going to be
a lot of adversity, you know.

It's only going to
make you stronger.

You guys played a great game,
each and every one of you.

I want you to feel good.

You're going to feel like shit
for a long time. You understand?

But you did good today.

Look at me.
Look at me, everybody.

I'm real proud of you.

You've come a long way.
Now go shake hands with them.

Ok?

Make it quick.

Hey. Hey, man.

Ha ha ha.
Well, do you
want to do it?

Those guys really
want to arrest you.

I should...
I should arrest you...

For wearing those pants.

Maybe you should
talk to...

You want to talk
to tamra?

I think she's
got some stuff
on her mind.

About basketball?

Yeah,
and other shit.

Hey, tell the girls
I'll see them later. Ok?

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks for the help
back there.

Oh, sure.

Hey, can I...Can I
get my cell phone?

Oh, yeah.
There you go. Thanks.

Yeah. Sure.

Uh...

So, good game.

Thanks.

Those...
Those girls

really seem
to like you.

Yeah. They're ok.

How are you
getting home?

Um...i borrowed
mom's car.

Oh. Ok.

Mm-hmm.

Think I could
get a ride?

Sure.

You know,
you really should
get a cell phone.

[Exhales]

Yeah. I'm thinking about it.

I'm thinking about it.

Someone might
need to, like,

get ahold of you
sometime.

Yeah. Yeah.
