Dare Me (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Code Red - full transcript
Colette feels the pressure of Regionals looming as a chance encounter leads Will to a dark place.
‐ Previously,
on "Dare Me"...
‐ I didn't know
Beth had her bow and arrow.
‐ Jealous much?
‐ What if I tried
the bow and arrow today?
‐ I said no.
You think I'm
avoiding responsibilities?
I'm not; I am just juggling
everyone else's
trying to be perfect
every single second.
‐ Nobody's asking you
to be perfect.
We just want you here with us.
‐ You can talk to me.
‐ You have to go.
‐ Hard being this talented
and this beautiful.
‐ You two take the night off.
‐ Beth?
She's down there.
‐ I don't need to talk
about Friday.
‐ Why are you acting so weird?
‐ You and Kurt‐‐
nothing happened
that you didn't want
to happen, right?
‐ Nothing happened.
‐ These girls are going
to regionals!
You're going to regionals
and you're going to regionals
and you're going to regionals!
‐ Get that foot down.
Breathe. It doesn't hurt
as much as you think it does.
‐ Her face‐‐
ruined because of you.
You are the coach,
the adult...
the mother.
This is on you.

Blaming others,
blaming yourself...
It eliminates focus,
and focus is what we need
to get back on track
before regionals.
If RiRi comes back
from the doctor today
with a concussion,
she's useless to us.
But her misfortune will be
someone else's opportunity
to shine and take her spot.
Anybody think
they're ready for that?
Hmm.

That's what I like to see.
Hungry little vultures,

No, don't apologize for that.

Hanlon, you look hungry to me.

RiRi's part by tomorrow?

in here.
Do you have any
extra tampons?
You must have some
in that purse.
‐
No.
‐ Are you sure?
‐ Yeah, I'm sure.
‐ Ugh, it's so weird.
One day she's at the center
of everything‐‐RiRi‐‐
and then the next day
it's like she's a ghost.
‐ She's not a ghost,
she's just...
just damaged.
You know, we all get damaged
one way or another.
Worked out for you, though.

I don't want to have dinner
with her either,
but we've lost
two deep‐pocket investors
in the past month,
and Diamant Pharmaceuticals
replaced them both.
She's one of their top
sales reps.
‐ J. J. just wants to shame me.
‐ Honey.
‐ I‐‐I have called her
three times
to check in about RiRi‐‐
it's never enough.
These girls are athletes.
Athletes get injured, okay?
You can't defy physics
and not have injuries.
These girls fly
20 feet in the air,
they're taking huge risks,
and they're humans, right?
They fuck up;
they make mistakes.
She was supposedly a flyer here
a hundred years ago.
She should know that.
You land on your head,
you walk it off,
put a smile on your face.
Right?
That's cheer.
That's the risk you take
going in.

Is Michael really serious
about this?

hanging out with them.
They're kind of
friends, at this point.
