Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 1, Episode 18 - Extended Families - full transcript

This is Austin,
party central!

There's your welcome packet and
your room key. There is your jersey.

Do you work for the team?

Oh, no. I'm a tattoo artist.

Sanskrit. It says "peace. "

I just... You wanna see what it
looks like from my ivory tower?

From my ivory tower, girl, you're not
hanging out with Tyra Collette any more!

You can't punish me like
that. That is not a punishment.

That's a rule.

Can we just make this easy?

I'm sorry.



I strayed outside my marriage.

Now she thinks it's
more than it is. Uh-huh.

You need to go home and take care of your
wife and think about those kids of yours.

Hey! Buddy!

Oh, God! Oh...

You Iying son of a bitch! You
could've at least let me keep the job!

Defense!
Defense! Defense! Defense!

The Panthers are ahead by
five with just seconds to go.

And, I tell you what, this has been
a nail biter from the word "Go. "

And folks, barring any last-minute
heroics from the Royal Rock Dragons,

the Dillon Panthers will be
heading to the Semifinals.

The Panthers offense
can only watch

as Royal Rock's Jerry Jakowski
takes one last shot

at planting a dagger into
the Dillon season. Go, blue!



Hut!

Take him down!

Coach Taylor has the Panthers laying back,
anticipating what has to be the Hail Mary pass.

And Jakowski launches
a missile!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Somebody jump-start my heart
because I think I just died!

Lord o' mercy!

Your very own Dillon Panthers
are going to the State Semifinals!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

You have ruined... Ruined this
family! All right? Ruined it!

Do you know what it
felt like? Hey, I know!

Sitting out there...
I'm sorry.

All those people at church and
she walks up and slaps you...

In my room.
... in front of me?

There's nothing you can do to
fix this. There is nothing...

Nothing is gonna happen to Mom
and Dad. Nothing is gonna happen...

How do you know that?
Listen to me. Stop it.

I need you to be strong
for your sister. Okay?

Yeah. It's okay. Sometimes
grownups fight. It's okay.

Don't even touch me,
Buddy! You know I want to!

Go ahead!
Tear it up!

Do you know how humiliated I am?
And it's all because of you, Buddy...

It's okay, it's okay.

Get out!

Roll out!

Come on. Move it.

Wait. Wait.
Forgot my wallet.

I'll just drive it
and stick it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Forget it.

I'm sure you can't depend on a
functioning spinal column,

but one thing you can depend on
is a drink on the house. Let it go.

There's more beer.

Leave it. Let's go.
No. No.

That's what voicemail's for. It's Lyla.

God, that girl's got a radar for
when you're about to have a good time.

Hello?

Party! Whoo!

It sounds like you're busy.

Uh no. No, no. We were just,
we were just about to go out.

Let's go! The train is
leaving. Let's go.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine. Just give me
a call back when you can. Okay?

You coming?
Yes.

Written invitation?
Gonna take a while.

Okay. I'll call you when I
get back. Train's leaving.

Okay. Bye.

Okay. I love you.
"I love you. "

Shut up!
Whoo!

Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!

Drink! Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink! Drink!

Going to State! Going
to State! Going to State!

Going to State! Going to
state! Going to State!

Riggins. Riggins!

What?

There's a woman at the door.
She looks pissed.

I got it.

Hi. I'm your new next-door
neighbor. Right there.

Next to your house.
Okay.

And we can hear
your damn music.

And weirdly, I have a job and I have
to get up at 6:00 in the morning. So...

Turn it down, please? Do you think you
could do that or should I just call the cops?

Can you turn it down?

I'll turn it down
for you, ma'am.

Thank you.

Night. You're welcome!

Who was that?
Billy, get in the house.

We always say it's a bad call
and then later on you realize

I was right and you were wrong.
Honey, what is that thing...

You never said that you were
sorry... that is on our front porch?

What... It's moving.
Can you... Who is that?

Damn that's not...

That's Buddy Garrity!
That's Buddy Garrity, honey.

Sitting on our front porch.
I see it. I see it.

Hey. Oh, no. I want to
go to bed, babe. Shh.

Get out and say, "Hello. " Get out
and say, "Hello. " Please make him...

Make him go away.

Hey, Buddy! Great.
The Semis!

Great game! Coach.
Great. I know.

Congratulations, Coach.
What are you doing here?

Good job, Eric!
The Semis, baby!

You could've called. What are
you doing? Oh, no. I just, uh...

Well... Pam...

Pam locked me out.
She's... She's kicked me out.

You know how women
are about these things.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

So, I was wondering if maybe I could just
sleep on your couch for a couple nights and,

you know, give Pam a chance
to cool down?

Hey, Momma.

Hey, babe.

I see you worked your way up
from black and white to color.

Well, at least
it's an improvement.

Oh, I love this movie.
It's so romantic.

Mom, please tell me that you're not watching
this movie thinking of Buddy Garrity.

'Cause I might actually have to take
your life. Then my own. Right after.

Here.

I'm not hungry.
I told you ten times.

Mom, you're depressed. Okay?
You gotta eat something. Come on.

No. You know what?
I just need to sleep, honey.

I just... I can't sleep. These
pills aren't doing anything.

I just took another one.

You just took another one?
I'll be fine tomorrow.

I just need one good night. That's
all. Let me sleep. I promise.

How did you get in here?
Don't worry about it.

Do you know what's gonna
happen if my momma hears you?

I know. Mmm...

That's why we gotta go
somewhere else.

What... I can't go.

Where we going?

How about a nice, romantic
moonlight swim?

Waverly Grady...
What's gotten into you?

I've never seen
you like this before.

But I could get used to it.

Hey, y'all. This is
Street. Leave a message.

Whoa!
Oh, my God!

Oh, no, no, no. He is not
staying a couple of days.

Listen, I'm not crazy about
it either, he invited himself.

Wait. So now you guys are
taking sides in this whole issue?

He is staying for a couple of days. Quit
yelling at me. It's early in the morning.

No. I woke up this
morning... Now stop it.

with Buddy Garrity in a towel in my
bathroom shaving. He was half naked!

You know Buddy Garrity's
right about women.

Do you want to see him half
naked? I don't want to see that.

Women are very dramatic.
You're very dramatic.

What are you doing,
Tim Riggins?

I'm fixing my truck.

Oh. I'm Bo Miller.

I'm your new
next-door neighbor.

Okay.

And you're Tim Riggins.

Number 33 who single-handedly
led the Panthers to the Semis.

What happened to your eye? Are you
gonna be able to play in the Semis?

Can you shut up?

I don't know. Can I?

Stop, please.

What?

I'm gonna need you
to shut up...

Okay. 'Cause I'm incredibly
hung over right now.

What does that...
So you need to go home.

Okay?

Thank you.

We're the best because we work
hard! You gotta be ready to do this!

Concentrate.
Concentrate.

Where you going, Street?
Let's go!

Let's go!

What are you guys doing?
Let's go!

Hey!

See you guys later. Oh, good
lord. If it ain't Miss Buzz Kill.

Shut up.

All right.

You jackass.

Hi.

"Hi"? I drove 200 miles
and all I get is "hi"?

I'm just shocked to see you.

Surprised.

Happy? Happy is
a much better word.

Baby, what's wrong?
What is it?

I think my parents
are splitting up.

You know, I'm gonna be a
Panther some day.

Good luck with that, Bo.

Watch this.

Ready! Blue 42!
Blue 42.

I like candy! Hut! He
drops back. He pump-fakes.

He throws it. It's going,
it's going. It's tipped!

Oh, it's caught
in the end zone!

What do you say
about that, Riggins?

Hey, hand me the ball.

I'm gonna teach you
how to spiral. All right?

Oh, boy.

Okay.

I want you to put your fingers
over the lace like that, okay?

As big as your hands are, you
just do the best you can, okay?

Okay.

And when you pull the ball
back, you wanna turn your body

so you can put what little
weight you have behind the ball.

Got it. Uh-huh.

And when you throw it,
I want you to follow through.

Yeah. Okay. Now let me try.
Ready! Candy! Candy! Candy! Hut!

Not too shabby.

Don't you think your mom
will just get over it?

I don't know.
I don't know that she should.

There's no weakness
in forgiveness.

You seem really happy.

I am. It's this sport. I don't
know. Just playing something again.

It's awesome. I just, uh...

I don't think I've been
this happy since the accident.

So...

That came out wrong.

That's okay.

Baby, without... without you I
wouldn't even be here right now.

You make me extremely happy.
Okay?

What is that?
What? What?

What is this? When did
you get a... What's what?

Oh...
You have a tattoo?

Is this real?

Yeah. It was an
impulse buy and I was...

I was definitely going to tell you
about it. You're permanently messed up.

I was pretty permanently
messed up before.

It's not a big deal.

It kind of is.

Okay, maybe it's
a little tiny...

What does it say?
... bit of a big deal.

It says peace.
And it's Sanskrit.

Peace...

Yeah.

It's just not you.

Well, it is now.

Hello. I'm in here
making pork chops.

Yahoo.

Hey, Buddy.
Hey, you're home.

How you doing, Buddy?
Oh, I'm doing good, man.

I, uh...

I hope you don't mind I got
the game tapes out.

No, that's fine. That's fine.
I got some ideas...

I'll be with you in just a second
then. Just hang out a second.

All right. Hey, can I
talk to you for a second?

Mmm-hmm.

Honey, he's driving me crazy.

Shh...
You know what, he went and...

He went and bought a whole bag of
groceries. All right. All right.

Just listen to me.
Just listen to me.

He's making me make pork chops. Stop.

We're standing outside of our
own house. Stop. Stop. Relax.

What?

Neil Kenny, the athletic department
over at TMU called this afternoon.

He and his wife would like to
have dinner with us this evening

to talk about the future.

"The future"? Our future?

You busy tonight?

No, I think I'm free.

We'll say it's a date then.
Mmm-hmm...

Oh, that's amazing.
I'm so proud of you.

Thanks, baby.

What are we gonna do
about Buddy?

Bo!

Would you come when I call?
What are you doing over here?

Not now, Mom.
You promised me that

you'd stay in the house and do
your homework if I went shopping.

I'm hanging out with Tim Riggins
and he taught me everything there is

to know about
the game of football.

I'm sure he did. And I doubled my
skill level in just one afternoon.

That's great, but you said
you'd stay, do your homework...

Hey.
Hey there.

Oh?

Yes. Yes, this is mine.
Thanks.

You bet. Bo tells me
y'all been hanging out.

Yeah, a little.

A lot, actually.

The only rule was that I had to
keep my voice down to a Level Three

because Tim Riggins had
some massive hangover thing.

Oh. Good, that's great.
Come on.

He's all yours.
Yeah.

Can he come over for dinner,
Mom? What? No, honey...

Please, Mom? Please?
He's got things to do.

I got...
Please?

I gotta work on
my truck anyway.

It's gonna get dark. You can't
finish it in the dark. You know that.

Please?

If it's all right with
your mom, I guess. Yes!

Okay. You little turkey.
Come on now.

Get in the house and do your
homework. What are we having?

I'll make it short.

You little squirt. I
can't believe you. Sorry.

You are seriously not expecting me
to stay here alone with Buddy Garrity!

I mean, are you even comprehending
the depths of awkwardness?

I'm sorry, sweetheart. Why don't
I just stick pins in my eyes?

Well, I think that's a
terrible idea but listen to me.

This is a very important dinner.
It's very important to your father.

It's important for his career.

His career pays for all those nice
things that you always ask for.

That you like for him
to buy for you.

You don't have to sit down, have
popcorn, watch movies with him.

Mom...
Honey, stop it.

Oh, so you're not taking sides
now, right? Okay.

So I'm not allowed
to hang out with Tyra,

but a known adulterer, I'm allowed
to spend the night alone with

in my own home?

Well, I'm sorry that's the way you see it,
but I think you can... Excuse me, darling.

I think that you're gonna
be able to handle it.

Honey!

Coming.

Hey, I heard everything your
mother said. You listen to her.

She's always right.
We gotta go. Let's go.

Hey, Smash.
How you doing, man?

Good evening, Pastor. Good,
man. Waverly's on her way down.

Okay.

So I see you and Wave have been spending
a lot of time together here lately.

Oh, yeah. Sir, I just
want to let you know that

I only have the best intentions for
your daughter because she's been somebody

in my life that... All right. Not
that kind of talk today, all right?

Okay.
All right.

Um...

Have you noticed anything
different about Waverly?

No, sir. I can't say I have.

Okay.

I need to ask a favor of you.

If you notice anything different about
her, I need for you to let me know. Okay?

Okay.

That's Troy over there.
He's from South Africa.

Then he lived in London. Now he lives in
Texas. Everybody makes fun of his accent.

Hey, Jason. How you doing?

Hi.
How's your wound?

Can I check it out?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, wow.
You heal fast, mister.

Looks great. Oh, hey.
Thank you.

I'm Suzy. I did the tattoo.

Oh.

Well, that's nice. I'm Lyla.
His fianc?e.

Oh, hi, Julie.

Hey.

How you doing tonight?

I'm doing good.

Good.
Good.

You want to join me
in a pork chop?

I don't eat dead pig. Sorry.

You don't know what
you're missing. Okay.

You know, it is
the other white meat.

Right.

Hey, you know
where your parents went?

Um... They went to dinner.

I thought I heard them talking
about having a meeting with somebody.

They went by themselves. I think they
went to this new little Italian restaurant.

Yeah. You know.
It's good for the marriage.

Right.

Yeah. Well, I'm going to go to
my room and do some homework.

With the doors locked.
All right.

So, Tim Riggins. Do you
like the taco casserole? Mmm.

You bet. It's good.

You know, I'm so glad my mom
had to get a fresh start. Bo.

Because if she wouldn't have ever
met that dumb boyfriend Hank...

Bo! with the abusive substance issue,

she might have never moved
from Knoxville to here. Dillon.

Eat your macaroni and cheese.

That was funny.

Okay, that's enough.

Not to get, uh, not to get,
you know,

serious or businesslike,
but, I mean, you guys think

I got a remote chance
of starting?

No.

Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa... Thanks
for the vote of confidence.

Slow it down. Slow it down, man. You're
barely out of the peewee stages now.

Look.

You might have a shot
at B-lining it.

If you make the team.

Oh, he'll make the team.

He's an ex-quarterback.

Oh... Thanks so much for that.
I had no idea.

Here I was thinking he was some
candy-ass that fell off a tricycle,

So let me just put this
to you, Miss Garrity.

Hmm... What's that?
What's that, Herc?

Football is not Quad Rugby.

Mmm.

Thank you for
the enlightenment.

'Cause you're right. No.
No, it's not, is it?

Just what the hell
you trying to say?

Herc. Herc, back off.

Exactly what I said.

I think she was simply trying to
say that Jason is a football star.

Why wouldn't he want to start?

Right, Lyla?
Yeah. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, sweetie.
I can take care of myself.

Save your charity for
those in need. Maybe Herc.

You know what, oh,
while you're at it,

why don't you go and tattoo
someone else's fianc?? Huh?

Oh, snap!

Y'all read that guy
for the Lit test?

What's his name? Uh...

"I saw two paths... "
Robert Frost.

Come on now! Somebody
been studying, obviously.

I do what I can. Yeah, you
know what's crazy though?

Like think about, think about who
we've been studying this year. Okay?

We've got your boy,
Robert Frost.

Boring white guy. Okay? And then,
and then we've got Emily Dickinson.

Psycho chick.

Ain't reading nothing, man.
Ain't reading nothing.

For real. For real.
Like let's think about it.

Like what about our poets of color?
How come we're not studying them?

You know?
Like who?

Are you serious? Like Gwendolyn
Brooks. Okay? Sterling Brown.

We've got Amiri Baraka and then
there's, uh... Oh! Robert Hayden.

"Some I love who are dead

"Were watchers of the moon
and knew its lore:,

"planted seeds,
trimmed their hair,

"And pierced their ears
for gold hoop earrings

"as it waxed or waned.

"It shines tonight
upon their grave.

"And burned in the gardens
of Gethsemane,

"its light made holy by the
dazzling tears. And spread...

"And spread its radiance
on the exile's path,

"Of He who was The Glorious One, its
light made Holy by His holiness...

"And...

Waverly, just...
"Already, okay,

"already a mooted goal.
And tomorrow perhaps...

"Tomorrow perhaps an arms
base, a livid sector... "

You know why, y'all? Because... Babe...

"The full moon dominates
the dark!" Babe, babe, babe.

We got you. We got it, babe. That's
what I'm saying, y'all. I know. I know.

Oh!
Whoo!

Hey, y'all might wanna
get a room.

Girl... Get your boy!

That's how Robert Hayden
makes me feel.

Robert Hayden can write!
Whoo!

You gonna pass
that test now, huh?

Yeah. I felt it, too.

Mindy, who turned the music
up? Mom's trying to sleep. Shh!

You know, you need
to stop drinking.

Here you go.
Thanks.

You okay?
You seem a little nervous.

Yeah. I'm fine.
I just... Just...

I don't know. I just
don't defy my parents well.

Honey, you're not even doing
anything that bad. I mean really.

Yeah, except for the fact that I've been
totally forbidden to even hang out with you.

Really? "Forbidden"?
That's, um...

That's kind of
a dramatic word.

I don't think it was
anything personal.

Right. Of course not. Oh!
There's your friends.

Hey, y'all.

Hey, Tyra.
Hi.

How y'all doing?

How's it going? I'm sorry I
couldn't get here earlier. I was...

I was running all these drills
to get ready for the Semis. So...

Wow. Hard at work,
Mr. Matthew Saracen.

Here.

How you doing, Tyra?

So what happened?
What... What...

To... To your loving mother.

To my loving mother.

Who's just so loving.

You want... hold on.
Hey, hold on one second.

Know what everybody?
To Tyra. Everybody.

To Tyra!
Thank you.

I am in your house right now,
with you and strippers.

And just God bless everyone
who enters here. Cheers.

Does your mom know
that you're here?

Matt, why are you
even asking that?

Look, it's just I don't want
you to get grounded again.

I kind of like being
allowed to see you.

I'm not gonna get grounded
again, okay?

You're not? No, and nothing is
gonna keep me from seeing you.

Okay.
Okay.

Hey, Mindy, where are my
cigarettes? Is that Tyra's mom?

Yeah, but she's cool.
Did y'all take my cigarettes?

They're on the coffee table.

Will you go back to bed? I'm up.
Forget it. I'm up. I'm up. I'm up.

Go back to bed.

I'm up already.

Go to bed.
Is she okay?

'Cause she doesn't
really look okay.

Oh! Oh! God!

Mom? Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm fine.

Oh, my God. There's blood.

Nothing's...

Somebody call 911!

I'm so sorry. I just fell. I'm so sorry.

Are you okay? Huh? Everything's
okay. Everything's okay.

Not many people could have pulled off
the season you've had after the tragedy

with Jason Street.

The fact that you got in there with what
you had left and pulled that team together

is nothing short
of miraculous.

I tell you what, we got
a bunch of good kids.

Oh, it's more than that.

We're all very impressed
over at TMU.

I appreciate that.

Excuse me one second.
So sorry.

You all right?

Jules?

Okay. Let me preface this by saying I'm
not hurt so don't have a heart attack.

What's the matter?

I'm at the hospital. Tyra's
mom had an accident and...

There's no adult here
to handle this.

Well, honey, what are
you doing there?

I was at a party at her house. Julie...

Look, Mom. You can yell at me
later but can you just get here?

Yeah, baby.
I'll be there. I'll be there.

Thank you very much for
sitting through that.

That was very nice of you.
No, thanks for having me.

It was great.
He's a funny kid.

I'm sure you got
your hands full.

Yeah.

Bo, hurry up!
The man's waiting!

I almost got it.

You know, uh, your rain
gutter's falling off, huh?

Oh, yeah. That's on my long list
of things to do. I've got, um,

work and Bo, and then homework and I
just don't really have time to do it.

Yeah.
Here it is.

I thought you might
want to have this.

Well, you thought right.
Yeah.

Handsome.
It's fantastic.

This is going on the fridge.

Yes!
I tell you that much.

All right.
All right.

Goodnight.

Thanks again.
Yeah.

Bye, Tim Riggins.

Goodnight, Bo.

You feeling okay?

I feel wonderful.

Why are you asking me? Why?

You seem a little
different lately.

It's 'cause...
'Cause I'm alive!

Because I'm feeling the world. That's...
If that's different then sign me up.

I'm different.
I feel great.

All right, it's like this.

I was taking some medication for
a while and now I'm off of it.

What kind of medication?

It was like this stuff for a mood
disorder. But it's really no big deal.

I'm better now, you know?
I got it under control.

I don't need drugs
to keep me straight.

So does your dad know
you stopped taking them?

Do you know
who my dad is?

You've seen him in the
pulpit, sweating, waves.

He do be sweating.
Oh, he do be sweating.

No. He just... He doesn't
get it. You know?

I mean, it's my body.

I can do whatever I want with
it, you know? Things are good.

It's like, how do you feel
when you're out on the field?

I feel alive.
Alive!

Exactly. That's what I'm
talking about. That's how I feel.

Trust. I feel better
than I've ever felt.

Okay.

Okay.

I really think I had a
breakthrough with Tyra tonight.

Landry, you're retarded.

Jules.

Mom, I'm really sorry. I don't want
to talk about it here right now.

But, please, how is Tyra's
mom? I guess she's okay.

I don't know. They won't let
us in. Yeah, we've been...

Will you do me a favor please
and take her home?

But, uh, I wanna stay here.

No, I will make sure Tyra's mom gets
home safely. Can you do that, Matt?

Yeah, yes, ma'am.
I want you home.

Y'all drive safe.

Yes, ma'am.

Can you give me any
information on Angela Collette?

Julie?

Hey.

Julie didn't come home?
Hey.

So how's Neil Kenny doing?

How the hell did you know
I went out with Neil Kenny?

Notepad.

It's a little something I
learned on Magnum P.I.

You gotta be kidding me. You gotta be
kidding me. Works pretty daggone well.

So did he offer you a job?

No. No. No. Not officially,
Buddy. No, not officially.

You going to take it?

No, I'm not gonna take it,
Buddy, 'cause it's not official.

Okay, well, when it is official
are you going to take it?

Are you?

Gee, I don't know. I'II let you
know when the time comes, Buddy.

Yeah, I might need to know.

Do we need to talk?

Do you love her?

Do I what?
Do you love her?

Love who?

The cute tattoo girl, Jason.

Are you serious right now?

No, I don't love her.
You do. You do love her.

No, I don't. No, I don't!
No, it's okay.

No, you tell me really easy.
Tell me. It's okay. Lyla. Lyla.

I have never seen you
this wasted.

I'm not wasted. I'm not
wasted! You're funny.

You're cracking me up. You are.
No, I don't. Do you love her?

You're funny
when you're drunk.

It's not funny, Jason,

when you drive all the way
from Dillon and you find

your boyfriend hanging out
with people that scare you

and getting tattoos
from sexy girls.

Not funny.
It's not funny, Jason.

It's not funny.

You're changing. And it is so
real and I'm not changing with you.

We're never going to last
because I'm not changing with you.

Well, I'm sorry if I... Lyla.

Okay, I'm sorry. It's okay.
No, it's okay. It's okay.

It's okay because you know
what? It's bigger than us.

Nothing is bigger than us,
Lyla. Nothing is bigger than us.

Nothing is bigger than the
love I have for you in my heart.

Nothing is bigger than that.

And I'm not holding onto you anymore
because you're all I have left.

I'm holding onto you because I
love you and I need you in my life.

And I'm not giving you up without
a fight. I am not letting you go.

I love you.

I brought you some water.

Thank you for doing all this.

You're welcome.

Take care of yourself,
all right? Thank you.

Thanks for helping me
bring my mom home.

You're welcome.

You can go home now. You
don't have to help me clean up.

Well, I think somebody's gonna
have to help you here, honey.

Well, it's not going
to be you.

Well, yeah, actually I think
right now it is gonna be me.

You know what? Why don't you quit
pretending you actually give a damn

about what happens to
me or my family?

I do give a damn what...
Oh, please.

You know, I found out tonight you
won't even let Julie hang out with me.

What? Like I'm some
kind of virus?

So it's a little annoying when you come
into my house and try to act superior.

Start cleaning up like you're
some kind of friend of the family.

'Cause you are not.

So you know what?

You just you go take your
precious little daughter

and you lock her away so
bad people like me...

We can't hurt her.
Honey...

Just go home!

Tyra.

It's just that
Julie's my girl.

And she's never behaved
like this before

and I might have been blaming
you for that. I mean you know,

it could be that
she's just growing up.

And I thought that I would be prepared
for all that 'cause I'm her mother and

I thought I would be prepared for
whatever came down the way and...

Boy, I'll tell you what,

it feels like a big old freight train
just headed right in my direction.

And I can't do a thing to stop
it but I'm just trying.

I'm just trying my hardest
to stop it.

So I am sorry, Tyra.

Yeah.

I'll get the broom.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Oh, I guess I'll go hide out in
some hotel. Maybe nobody will see me.

Okay.

Eric, I just don't think it's very
cool for you to be meeting with TMU

while I'm living right under
your roof. I mean...

Do you care anything about
the Panthers?

Can I ask you a question?

How can you even
think about that stuff

when you're in the mess
that you are with your wife?

Really?
Pam will forgive me.

You think?

You know what I think? I think you hide your
head in football a little too much, Buddy.

'Cause I don't think you
should care about the Semis.

I don't think you should
care about

who I'm having dinner with or who
the hell is even coaching the team.

I think you need to
worry about your family.

I think you need to worry
about your family, man.

You know what, Eric?

I'll always care about
the Panthers.

Pam can cut off my head and stick
it on a spike in the front yard.

But I'll always care. Always.

All right. I think that's it.

Yeah.

Will you call me if there's
anything your mom needs?

Yeah.
Okay.

And you know what, Tyra?

Huh?

Why don't you come by
my office on Monday?

I'd like to talk to you about
your academic future.

What am I?
Your next project?

Absolutely.

Take care of yourself,
sweetheart.

Mrs. T.
Yeah?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, baby.

Dad's at church all day.
You want to come babysit?

Give me two minutes.

Okay.

Victory.

You know what?

This is all going to work out.
You'll see.

Watch.
After I make this team,

we'll go on a little vacation
to Beijing for the Paralympics.

You'll see. And trust me.
Mmm...

Waverly?

Wavey? Wavey?

Waverly?

Wavey?

Waverly?

Hey, what's wrong?

Mmm. Thank you.
Mmm-hmm.

I got the call.

"The call"?

TMU made the offer.

Wow.

Yeah.
