Dare Me (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Surrender at Discretion - full transcript
As Addy gets closer to Colette, Beth takes drastic action to regain control of the squad.
‐ Previously,
on "Dare Me"...
‐ "Colette French"?
Some fancy new coach
from across the state
thinks she can come
and run my squad?
No, I'm captain.
This is my squad.
‐ Wrong, it's mine.
Getting to regionals
isn't about one girl.
It's about one squad,
regardless of who's on top.
‐ That's how it's done.
‐ And now we will do it again
with Tacy.
‐ Sweetie, this is Mr. Coach.
‐ Coach isn't married.
‐ Four years and counting.
‐ She doesn't give off
a big "wife" vibe.
‐ You should go to him.
Don't miss your chance.
‐ I can't.
‐ I'll watch your kid, go.
‐ Don't you want
to peer into the secrets
of my black old heart?
‐ I guess I already know
all your secrets.
‐ Fetus, you better watch it.
‐ Ow, stop.
Dad!
‐ Sisters never get along.
‐ Half‐sisters.
Tacy's mom
was Mr. Cassidy's side piece.
Lives right across the street.
‐ We could have moved.
‐ And let them win?
‐ Never.
‐
‐ Love.
‐
‐ It's a kind of killing.

His uncle's in Florida.
Empty house,
shit ton of fenny,
and weed left behind.
‐ All I know is that
Saint Reggie's QB
better be there.
‐ Okay, that boy is fire.
‐ Mm, and you know
those Catholic boys?
They give head for hours.
both: They're so grateful.
‐ Get it, girl.
Is Addy coming?
Or are Mom and Dad
fighting again?
‐ You can't fight with someone
who's never there.
‐ Yeah, she needs
to quit that job.
‐ If that's really
where she is.
♪ ♪
‐
‐
Hi.
‐
‐ She likes you.
‐ Yeah.
Kids are easy.
You know, grown‐ups are...
difficult.
‐ Yeah, well, I never did
the babysitting thing.
I didn't even hold a baby
till I had one of my own.
Come here.
‐
‐ What?
I really appreciate
you doing this for me‐‐again.
‐ Well, it beats being
elbow‐deep in Rocky Road.
My other job.
‐ Oh, well, that explains
the strong forearms.
No wonder
you're such a good tumbler.
We need to make better use
of that body.
The real mystery is how you
never wound up squad captain.
‐ Oh, that would have
never happened.
Beth, she's always been
so good,
and she's just better
than all of us.
There's no question who's best.
‐ Right well, there's best,
and then there's
wanting it the most
and having the discipline
to get it.
‐ I do.
I mean, I think I do.
That's why I'm working
on my exit plan.
‐ A coach can always tell.
‐
‐ There's sheep...
‐
‐ Which is fine‐‐
squads need sheep‐‐
but I don't spend my time
on sheep.
There's no payoff.
So, same time tomorrow?
‐ Yeah.
I wouldn't miss it.

♪ ♪
‐ She go down okay?
‐ Mm, dead to the world.
To be able to sleep
like that again...
‐ You're up late.
Squad drama?
‐ Yeah, they're not a squad.
They're a bunch of ponytails,
blank eyes,
mouth stuffed with gum,
and I have five more days
to submit this bid video,
otherwise regionals
isn't gonna happen.
‐ Don't go breaking
Bert Cassidy's
heart, heart, heart.
‐ Yeah, well...
it's just cheer, right?
- ‐ Hey.
- ‐
‐ Hey, no, I‐‐I didn't mean...
Come on,
tell me what's going on.
Seriously.
‐
Well, it's the
"Tale of Two Sisters."
There's Tacy,
the anemic little sister
who's got the bod
and the pliancy,
but she's way too green.
They have to help her.
‐ Hmm.
‐ Make her strong.
And Beth is just this...
hellion.
‐ Yeah, I know, I met her.
She came by the office
the other day to see Bert.
‐ What'd she say?
I mean, did she just
introduce herself?
‐ Yeah, she‐‐she is not shy,
that one.
You know, it reminds me
a little of you, actually.
‐ Come on, Cassidy, stop
showing me how scared you are.
You have to want it.
Show me that you want it.
‐
‐ Five, six, seven, eight.
One and three‐‐up.
‐
‐ She made her point
with the fetus.
Couldn't she just abort now?
‐ Before tragedy strikes.
‐ Can't.
She's not built
to admit defeat.
‐ Ali, Mindy, stop being lazy.
Nature gave you
those shoulders.
Why do you refuse
to use them?
‐ Five, six, seven, eight, one.
‐ She has no idea
what she's doing.
‐ Good, good.
‐ How great would it be
if Mindy and Ali
just let her drop?
‐ Fetus flattened.
Unless, of course, a noble soul
were to leap forward
and catch her when she falls.
You, maybe?
‐ Me?
‐ You like working overtime
to support your girl.
‐ Good.
‐ Coming down.
‐ Got it?
‐ Yeah.
‐ Better.
But not good enough.
Line up.
This video we're making
needs to be flawless.
No filters, no fancy edits...
No place to hide.
It is sweat, muscles,
power, perfection.
We're not there yet,
but we're close.
I can see it,
and I can see regionals.
‐ I see fetus foot‐punching
a hole in someone's face.
‐ Oh, my God, Beth.
‐ It's a nasty virus,
weakness.
One of you shows it...
next thing,
you're all infected.
Laziness lurks in all of you,
and it is ugly.

I'm the only freshman
in America

of the country.
‐ Someone don't tell Tacy,
