Heartbreak High (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

Con tries to get new uniforms for the soccer team in time for their last match while his mother arranges for a housekeeper to help out at the Poulos' home. Steve is forced to miss rugby training to sit an exam - a decision that upsets Southgate, the coach, and threatens Steve's spot on the team.

Okay, then.

Hey, excellent.

Mum says I have to be
the woman of the house now.

-You want some?
-Thanks.

-Who said what?
-You're getting it all over the table.

-Effie, what?
-Mum says I have to be the woman

of the house now
and take care of you and Dad.

Mum says?

She can't talk to you.
So what are you saying?

Theia, Helen and all the women,
they say Mum's still in the house, right?

40 days after the--



-After she died, right.
-Her clothes stay in the wardrobe

for 40 days
because she's still here.

That's a sort of custom, you know.

That's like a way
of remembering these things.

And if she's still here,
I can speak to her.

-But she can't talk back to you.
-Why not?

Dad, can you explain
this 40-day thing to Effie, please?

Mum's still in the house, right?
So I can talk to her.

-Sure.
-Sure?

-"Sure"? What's that supposed to mean?
-You're right, Effie.

Your mother's alive
and always will be

here in our hearts
and there in heaven.

Alive and looking out for you.

This is nuts.
-Hey, come on, Nick.



Hey, don't throw away tradition.

Tradition's what makes us
who we are. Okay.

She says Nick's upset.
She understands.

You talk to your mother
as much as you want, all right, honey?

I'm living with crazy people.

Con, you've got to tell your mom
to lay off a bit, mate.

All that stuff about Mum being in
the house for 40 days is driving me nuts.

What's your problem with that?

It's crazy.
Effie is talking to our dead mother.

-What's crazy about that?
-She's dead.

Everyone knows
dead people can talk to the living.

Chaka, don't start on that stuff, okay?
Just don't start.

Look, my grandmother used to visit me
in dreams, all right?

-There's nothing crazy about that.
-Yeah, maybe Chaka's right.

-Yeah, anything Chaka says is right.
-Lay off, Nick.

-Hey, at least she's got an open mind.
-Steve.

Baby.

Can't touch it with your hands, Steve.

-Get into it, Steve.
-Watch out.

Yeah.

Not bad for a rugby player, Steve.

I know, right?

Hey, Steve, over here.

-Sir?
-You missed the test.

Yes, sir.

Hey, well, the supplementary
is on Thursday afternoon after school.

On Thursday? I can't, it's impossible.

Your assessment depends on it.

-I've got rugby training on Thursday.
-Tough.

Sir, do you realize that if I don't
make training, I don't make the team?

Listen, mate,
everyone who missed the test

has to sit the supplementary
and that includes you.

Fine.

Just don't do this
to my soccer team, okay?

Their morale is low enough.

Check it out. This will be good.

Hey, Graham, you got a minute?

-The answer's no, Bill.
-You don't know what I'm gonna ask.

Yes, I do.

Look, I know Steve
can be a bit of a pain in the ass,

-but he's my key player.
-Bill, I've already told him.

Come on, be reasonable.
Can't you put the test off till later?

If I back off, that's a signal
that every decision I make

-is open to negotiation.
-Come on.

Why is he a good rugby player?

He's got football brains, ball skills--

And he gives the opposition
a second chance, does he?

Listen,
if I show any sign of weakness with Steve,

he'll just walk right over me
and the others will follow.

He does the test when I say he does.

So, Hamlet's talked to the actors
and he's organized with them to do what?

To reenact the murder of his father.

Right, to reenact
the murder of his father. Now, why?

To get a confession like Columbo.

Yes, to get a confession perhaps.
But what if he can't get a confession?

See if Claudius looks guilty
so that he can kill him.

Right. So, he has to be sure
that it was his father's ghost

-who spoke to him, right?
-The guy's a nutcase.

-Hamlet?
-Is a nutcase.

Hamlet was one very sexy guy.

-Hey, he's like you, Nick.
-He's a fruitcake.

-See what I mean?
-He's got these fantastic eyes.

Danielle, are we talking about Hamlet
or Mel Gibson here?

Because the actor isn't quite the same
as the character in the play.

He was heaps better
in Lethal Weapon anyway, miss.

Yeah, what about Mad Max?

All right. In drama,
we can discuss Mel Gibson.

In English, we discuss Hamlet.

The stupid nutcase, you know.

They should have had him
on medication, miss.

Like this thing over here.
He's out of it.

Who's on medication, Nick?

All right, Nick.
It's an interesting point of view.

Do you wanna try
and justify it from the text?

Well, he sees ghosts.
He talks to ghosts. He's a loony tune.

Well, if you look at when the play
was written, you know,

most people believed in ghosts.

People still do, miss.
Heaps of people see ghosts.

Hamlet just didn't know if it was a ghost
or an ordinary--

Chaka, I told you not to start
on that stuff.

I'm out of here.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick, what's the problem?

Nick.

All that stuff about ghosts.

Effie's talking to Mum
and Dad says it's okay.

-Maybe it's just something she needs--
-Don't you start, miss.

Maybe it's okay to talk to dead people.

It's not okay
when they start to talk back.

-Look, Effie's just a little kid.
-Effie says Mum's in the house

for 40 days
and she's talking to her.

Well, when you've known somebody
really well and they're not there anymore,

you know, you say so-and-so
might have said such-and-such.

Yeah, but we don't say so-and-so
is saying such-and-such.

Mum is dead. Dad's lost the plot,
and the house is in a mess,

and Effie's talking all this crazy stuff.

So, I need Hamlet
like I need a hole in the head.

Look at these guys, man.
What a bunch of wankers.

The coach is taking
the state under-17s, mate.

We beat them, we show the rest
of the school what we're made of.

-The striker is cute.
-Oi.

Not as cute as you, Stevie.

Hey, losers.
-God, I can smell his breath from here.

Checking out
who's gonna beat you next, are you?

We're looking
for a boyfriend for you, Rivers.

Your mother.

To you, too, mate.

One day, man, I'll put him down.
I swear, one day.

Yeah, sure.

Look, Christina, different people
have different ways of grieving, okay?

-Yes, I know.
-Right.

-It's not that.
-Well, listen, you know,

the Greeks have got their 40-day thing,
okay?

That's something
they got to go through.

Yeah, but George isn't coping.
The house is a mess.

Well, it's going to take time.

Look, Effie's doing all the cooking
and she's only ten.

Nick's got this crazy thing about ghosts.

So? It won't be like that forever.

What about a housekeeper?
Just until they get over things.

Sure, that's not a bad idea.

That might just help the kids out
for a bit.

-But I'm not so sure about George.
-What about soccer?

Why don't you get him
coaching a soccer team again?

-No, not soccer.
-No, come on.

It'll help get his mind off things.
It'll be good.

I can't, okay? I can't.

Look, I just thought
it might make you feel better.

You know,
take your mind off things.

No, no, no, no. I don't wanna get
my mind off things, got it?

Take it easy, Dad.
-Okay. Look, I'm sorry.

No. No, look, it's okay. I understand.

No, you don't understand.
I'm finished with coaching.

It's over, okay? Finished.

Hey, that's lovely.
That's just like Mum used to make.

It's terrific.
Anyway, I don't have the time.

Look, if you've got a problem with time,

why don't you get a housekeeper?
Just for a few hours a day.

A woman in the house?
We already got a woman. Hey. Hey.

I'm getting out of here.

Ruby.

-Good day, Nick.
-How you doing, mate?

Stuffed, mate.
Milano was at my house before,

-trying to snap Dad out of it.
-Yeah?

-No go.
-Don't worry, mate.

Maybe when he sees our new uniforms,
he'll wake up.

Uniforms? Are you ripped or what?

You see that guy over there?

Sime. That scumbag? What about him?

He makes soccer shirts, right,
in his own sweatshop.

Yeah, and the girls that work there
get treated like dogs. What's new?

Him and me, mate,
we're gonna play some pool.

Against him?

Money against 15 shirts.

Mate, he's gonna wipe the floor with you.

Don't worry. I can take him.

You won't even get a chance
to chalk your cue.

Yeah? Watch me.

Sime. Yep.

What? Yeah, I'll be right over.

Can you believe two of those bitches
had a fight in my shop?

Hey, told you before, I'm the only one
allowed to say bitch in here.

You watch, mate.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna make history.

Yeah.

Spanakopita. No, too hard.

Stifado.
Anybody can cook a stew.

-Hey. That might be Auntie Helen.
-She can't cook for us forever, Dad.

Mr. Poulos.

Mr. George Poulos?
-Yes.

I'm Mrs. Ioannou. Stella.

Helen was gonna phone you about me.

-Me?
-I brought over Helen's pastitsio.

Come on in, please.
We were just starting to cook something.

Nice kitchen. Very nice.

Where… Stove, here we go.
Helen says it needs its final half hour.

-Sure.
-It's final cooking.

Three-fifty, I think.

Three-fifty? Really?

-Very good.
-I'm Effie.

I'm Stella. How do you do?

And Helen didn't phone you?

No. What about?

Me.

No.

I'm so embarrassed.

-No, don't be embarrassed, hey.
-I am.

Look, it was like this…

A teacher at your son's school, right,

-Christina something M--
-Christina Milano.

Milano. Christina Milano.

Thought you needed a housekeeper
a couple of hours a day

and Helen thought of me,
and was gonna phone you.

-I'd better go.
-No, no. Hey, sit down. Come on.

Effie makes a great coffee

or a glass of wine?

-Yes.
-Good.

-Could I have both?
-Sure.

-I've been running all day.
-Effie.

Thank you. Cheers.

So, you're a friend of Helen's?

Not exactly.

She sometimes comes in
to the shop I work at.

Can I be frank with you?
You don't look like a housekeeper.

You look more like a doctor's wife.

Me, a doctor's wife?

And I'm not sure I can afford someone
who looks like a doctor's wife.

Well, I dressed up a little
to impress you.

I mean, I could dress down.

I could wear a headscarf.
Would that help?

-That would help, but I don't think so.
-Mr. Poulos, I'm not a doctor's wife.

I'm a woman on her own.
I have a daughter.

Part-time job in a shop.

But to be frank, I need the work.

Helen said two hours a day,
Monday to Friday,

fifteen bucks a day.
What do you say?

Helen said I can afford that?

She said not to take less.

I think we should try her.

You wouldn't have to wear a headscarf
unless you wanted to.

Thank you.

My son, Nick.

-Mrs. Ioannou.
-Hi, Nick.

-Hello.
-And, you know, Con, Helen's son.

-Con.
-Hi there.

Right. Yeah.

Mrs. Ioannou
is maybe gonna help us out a bit…

with the housekeeping.

Man, what a spunk.

She's old enough
to be your mother, mate.

Hey, mate, that's exactly what…
What's his name again?

Oedipus, he said that.

Actually, it was your mom
that suggested her.

Mate, I reckon you guys
should hire her.

All right.
Can we talk about the team?

-Team?
-Con.

-What team?
-Con, if we lose

another game, mate,
we're history.

Look, mate, once I get those
shirts off Sime, I'll be cheering.

In your dreams, Con.

New shirts
aren't gonna do it for us, man.

We need a new coach, okay?

We need another striker,
you know that.

And on top of everything,
we need a win.

You want it all in that order?

Get serious, man.

Look, mate, we'll spy on them, right?

Find out their every move,
and then, we'll rip them dead.

I don't know, mate.

I think this team is stuffed.

I really don't think
we got a chance at all.

Listen to you.
You're saying that?

You believe it?

Anyone, anyone can be beaten.

Just get it together.
Anything is possible.

And come on,
dinner is on the table. Pastitsio.

-You staying, Con?
-I better go.

You can say that to me.

You can't even get yourself moving
and you're gonna say that to me?

Here, miss.
Miss, over here.

Throw it, miss.

Yeah. All right.

Hi.

Pretty good reflexes you got there.

How are yours this morning?

Here we go.

-Hey, Graham.
-Hey, Bill.

Boss wants to see us both.

I'll take that. Thank you.

Good one, man.
That was real smart.

-Well done, Con. You do that?
-You've made it. For real.

Gentlemen, I respect both your positions

but I would like to see a resolution
that would benefit the school.

Me going soft on discipline
is not gonna benefit the school.

No one in their right mind would say
you were soft on discipline, Bill,

which is exactly
why you should support me.

You can't administer this test
at another time?

Not now I've drawn the line.

Of course, if Bill would give ground,
Steve could still play.

Misses the whole point.
The rule is, "No train, no game."

I can't bend that,
not even for Steve.

You two aren't exactly
making this easy, are you?

Steve needs discipline
and other students need to see

that we don't play favorites.

Hey, now,
you're arguing my case for me, mate.

Team discipline is probably the main thing
those kids get from this school.

It's something most of them
don't get at home.

Something that they're gonna need
when they hit the outside world.

Now, you're making my case for me, mate.

But a win would lift school morale.

He's my five-eight.

He's my goal kicker.
I need him.

You need him? I thought you said
you were doing this for the kids?

You really can't do this test
at another time?

Next time you want a favor,
don't bother asking.

You can tell him.

You resit the test Thursday.

-What?
-That's it.

Can he play anyway, sir?

You know the rule,
"No train, no game."

Real simple, mate,
you can't do the test.

You're not gonna let that poofter
run your life for you, are you?

Look, Rivers, if I don't do that test,
my dad's gonna kill me, all right?

-You're not turning queer on us--
-Will you just shut up, all right?

Shut up, all right?

Stop.

-Hey.
-Steve, cut it out.

-Got 5 bucks?
-5 bucks for what?

Team shirts. You wear, you share.

-Are you kidding?
-Quick. Quick.

-What type of shirt costs 5 bucks?
-Give me 5 bucks.

-Five bucks, guys.
-Come on, pay up.

Come on,
we need the money on the table.

He's playing Sime this afternoon
for shirts. Pay up.

Con playing Sime! Dork of the month
versus Eddie Charlton. Gotta see!

Give him your money, man.

Con, put it away please.

You're full of it.

I don't wanna know what it's for.

It's for dope, miss.

Talking about yourself, Rivers?

-It's for charity, miss. It's all--
-Save it for the believers, Con.

Hey, man. I'm a good boy.

-I'm a charity funder.
-Come on, miss.

All right. Now, I'll have you sitting
in your seats, please.

And I want your assignments
and I want them now.

Hey! Watch with the feet.

It's good, mate.

Hey, yo, mate.
My name is Con, this is my buddy Nick,

we're on the high-school soccer team.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
I would've shown more respect.

Listen, I got a proposition for you.

We need some shirts for our team,
some proper soccer shirts.

-How many?
-Fifteen.

Fifteen by 20 bucks,
that's 300.

We haven't got that sort of money.

Goodbye.

Let me handle this.

Listen, the point of this proposition is

it doesn't cost you 20
to make them, right?

Try and understand something.

Capitalism means you sell things
for more than you pay for them, right?

The difference is profit.

School's out.

I'll play you pool for it.

A hundred bucks for 15 shirts.

You wanna play me pool?

Are you scared to play me?

And I get to win 100 bucks?

Or you lose 15 shirts, it's up to you.

Let's play.

Yeah.

-Good day.
-We're on a roll.

Not a chance.

Damn.

Yeah, Sime.

-Your phone put me off, man.
-Yeah, tomorrow. All right.

You're phone put me off,
I'm playing that shot again.

-Come off it.
-The best out of three, then.

That wasn't the deal.

Your phone put me off, man.
That's not fair.

Life's not fair.

You cheated, didn't you?

You got somebody to call you.
Is that how you do business?

Now, you're getting me angry.

Brilliant.

It's okay.

We can play in our old jumpers.
Who cares anyway?

It's an omen.
We're not meant to have a team.

Come on, Nick.

Maybe he's right.
Maybe it is an omen.

Hey, don't you start
with that stuff, okay, Chaka?

It wasn't me who said omen.
I mean, you said it.

I only said it.
You meant it.

Hey, losers.

Can't you wogs win anything?

Hey, Rivers,
why don't you shut your mouth?

Go play with your boyfriend
Stevie-weavy.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Forget it.

Let's go. Come on.

Just keep moving.

You wanna double it?

Are you deaf?

I said do you wanna double it?

-Who am I playing?
-Me.

One game, sudden death, I break.

It's your money.

Guys, guys, Con.

Ruby's playing Sime.

-What the…
-Ruby's playing Sime.

-No way.
-Yeah.

How come I never saw you play before?

I play after work.

If you had a husband
who drank like mine,

you'd have plenty of free time
on your hands, too.

-You wanna play again?
-Yeah.

They put me off.

Tough titty, kid.

It's not fair, Simie?
-Life's not fair, really.

Yeah, Ruby!

Yeah.

Good shot. Good shot.

Yeah.

Game over. Yes, sirree.

Thanks for coming, buddy.

Double or nothing.

No, I've got things to do.

Con, I don't want to see you playing
for money in here again, okay?

Come on, Ruby.

Okay?

And as for you, I want 15 brand-new
soccer shirts, right?

-You'd be lucky.
-All right, I'll mind that for you.

And maybe you don't want to come
in my place again.

All right, I'll do the shirts.

And don't take your time
with them either. We need them fast.

Mate, I got a lot of orders.

Come on,
don't make me say it twice.

All right.
I'll do the shirts.

But I need a design.

Give me your shirt, Nick.
Come on, quick.

Team colors, right?

What are they, like,
red and black?

Yeah, I reckon simple stripes.

Okay.
-And, nothing too complicated.

What we want is just plain red

with thin black stripes
about that far part, okay?

-Yeah, it looks cool to me.
-Yeah, it's good.

-Okay.
-Hang on a sec.

-And a black arm band right here.
-What for?

For Mrs. Poulos. She was the one
who wanted uniforms for us.

You know, a team loses a manager,
they wear a black arm band.

What I'm saying
is that we wear it forever.

-Me too.
-Yeah.

Thanks, man.

Steve, what is it?

-I don't know I'm just…
-What?

It's just that I see you guys looking
out for each other, you know?

I mean, you've got no soccer shirts,
so you all…

So you all bankrolled Con
for the crazy scam

he tried to pull on Sime,
you know.

So?

So, you look out for each other,
all right?

-That's how it goes.
-Yeah.

Well, not in our league team, it doesn't.

See, I'm Southgate's playmaker.

Set up the goals, score the tries,

but I don't think the man could really
give a stuff if I passed my HSC or not.

Look, the bottom line
is I've got to fail my math test

-to make him look good.
-Southgate doesn't matter.

Yeah, but it's not just him, is it?

I'm supposed to have mates
on that stinking team.

I'm supposed to have friends.

Peter Rivers is supposed
to be a mate, right?

I miss training one time,
one time I miss it,

and suddenly, I'm a poofter.

I've got a mind, too, you know.

Well, why don't you use it?

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Pass. I want good passing.

I want you trained in passing, lads.
Come on.

-Pull through.
-Take me, take me.

Well, what do you reckon?

Mate, I reckon we're in trouble.

Do it again.

Ta-da!

What do you think?

I mean, how does your dad like his shirts?

Sort of like that but maybe no creases.

Creases, my best thing.

You wanna try while I check the estofado?

Hot.

Looking good. Yes.

Mum used to test the meat with a skewer.

A skewer?

A skewer's one of those things
that looks like a long nail.

You think I don't know what
a skewer looks like?

Sure I do.

In the second drawer. I thought everybody
kept their skewers in the second drawer.

My stepmother used to keep them
hanging up.

I was never allowed to use them.

You had a stepmother?

-Was she evil?
-I wouldn't say evil… Not very evil.

A vampire maybe or a werewolf,

not very good to be around at full moon.

You're joking, right?

Right.

She wouldn't let me cook.

Great.
This is gonna be great.

Hey. Smells wonderful.

-Yes, estofado, my best thing.
-Yeah.

Dad. Dad?

Can Theia Stella stay for dinner?

Sure, that would be nice if you can.

Honey, I'm not really your auntie.

Just Stella, then.

Come on.

-So we got our shirts organized.
-That's great.

Now, all we need is a coach.

-Stew.
-Stew.

Come on, stew.

Stew is how you ruin meat.
That's estofado.

That's how Greeks improve it.

Listen, this team
that we're playing next week,

I've been watching them train.

How hungry is everyone?

-I'm pretty hungry.
-Not too much for me.

Thank you very much.

Look, Nick, you know,
don't waste your time

spying on other teams.
Practice.

Yeah, yeah.
I know practice makes perfect.

No, no, it doesn't.

Perfect practice makes perfect.

You practice doing something
the wrong way,

you get very good at doing it
the wrong way.

Hey, you see, we need someone
to tell us the difference.

Thank you very much.
Yes.

Anyway, about this team,

the coach is taking
the under-17 stateside.

Come on, high-school teacher,
what would he know?

At least they've got someone.

Yeah, eat.

Is it okay?

-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.

-Very good.
-You hate it, right?

-No, no.
-It's terrible, isn't it?

-No, no.
-It's terrible.

-Why is he doing that?
-It's great. It's good.

Don't worry about him,
he's always like that.

At least they've got someone.

How did you go?

Let's go.

It was easy.

About time.

Hey.

Great stuff, Simie.

My heart's bleeding with gratitude.

I'm out of here.
The ladies are fighting again.

-Wait a minute.
-Hey.

I'm gonna recommend your work,
you know that.

Yeah, Sime, these are all right.

-"Ruby's"?
-Yeah.

Well, all the big teams have sponsorship.

Yeah, they look great.

Good, aren't they?

Wow.

They're better than our shirts.

It's a better game.

What are you staring at me for, then?

Nothing.

-I get it.
-Get what?

You think I wanna play
for you guys, don't you?

Not a good idea.

And why is that?

Well, see, mate, it was like
the last game we played,

you'd go nuts.

Insane.

See, those guys were animals.

Well, what'd they do?

They wouldn't leave her alone.

Couldn't even take their hands off her.

Careful.

Animals.

You're kidding me, right?

Look, I'm not stupid here.
I know exactly what you're trying to do.

If that's what you wanna believe.

Nah.

Fine.

Excellent. Hey.

Yeah.
A good footballer should look good.

Shows a good attitude.

What's this?

It's for Irini.

Irini?

Yeah.

The whole team asked for it.

She was our manager, right?

She was there for us,
so we all agreed on it.

Yeah.

It's good.

Nick.

Stay.

I think these
are better than yesterday.

You think so?
-Yes, I do.

I think stuffed capsicums
are Stella's best.

I think they're stuffed.

What do you think, Dad?

I think I'm very proud of them,

the kids, the kids in the team.

Very proud.

Well.

Looks like we're just gonna have to
do it without you this time, Steve.

What can I say, Rivers?

You're just gonna have to get someone else
to set up your tries for you, aren't you?

Ooh.

Look, miss,
I understand that you feminine types

don't know a lot about this stuff,

but a soccer team has got 11,
you've only got 10 there.

-What's the "G.O."?
-None of your business.

Rivers, man,

we're so good,
we kick ass with five.

We don't need 11.

Like you do at pool you mean?

So you gonna get old Ruby
to jump in as well this time?

You got a pen, miss?

What are you doing, Steven?

Just what it looks like, sir.

You join soccer, you're out.

Well then, it looks like
I'm out then, doesn't it?

Loser, loser,

loser, loser,

loser, loser, loser.

Okay, stretching out to the side.

Okay, everybody.

And the other side.

Stretch it out.

Okay.

Now standing up, one leg
in front of the other.

Bending down, stretch it out.

Cut it out, miss.
Too hard.

Okay. Other leg.

The other leg's really tight.

-You're doing some research, miss.
-Yep. All right.

I can tell.

-Now jogging on the spot.
-Here we go.

Come on, put some energy into it.

Okay.

Hitting your knees, please.

Miss, miss.
Look, we have a visitor.

We're all yours.

So you think you're up against a top team?

Yeah. They're on top
and we haven't won yet.

All right.
Well, we're gonna take them on.

No, we're gonna take on these rich kids
with their fancy uniforms

and the big playing fields,
and we're gonna beat them.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

How do you think
we're gonna do that, Mr. Poulos?

We've got a couple of advantages, Steve.

We are the underdogs and we want it.

-Yeah.
-So what are we going to do about it?

-We're gonna win it!
-That's it.

We've got some work to do, though.
Come on.

-Yeah.
-Everybody, come on.

Close control over the ball.
Stay up on your toes.

Up on your toes.
Good.

Now listen to this
while you're doing that.

I'm not interested in champions, okay?

You're a team.

Work for each other.

It's not just the pass,
it's a pass to a person.

Okay.

A good pass that results in a goal
is as much your goal

as it is the person who scored it.

It's a team goal.
We are a team.

Work like a team.

Okay, so you got to work
to get yourself into the clear.

-Dad?
-It's gonna do one of two things.

It's gonna draw the opposition to you
so that somebody else

can do something,
or it leaves you clear to receive.

-Dad.
-It's called working for each other.

Yes, honey?

Is it okay this afternoon if me
and Stella put Mum's things into boxes?

You know,
we don't touch anything for 40 days.

I checked with Theia Helen.

The things just have to stay in the house,
there's nothing about not touching.

Auntie Helen. She makes things up
as she goes along.

I think Mum thinks it's okay.

I think you're right, darling.
Okay.

Yeah.
Well, soccer.

Good luck today, mate.

-Good luck today.
-Hey, hey, good luck.

-Good day.
-How you doing, mate?

And go.

All right.
Come on, let's go.

Let's beat these guys,
Hartley, come on.

Yeah.
Number six, number six.

Let's go, come on.

Yeah, Danni.
Go, Danni, run.

Yeah.

Keep the pressue on them!

-Come on.
-Don't worry about it.

Excuse me.
We're looking for a soccer match.

Follow me.

Hey, good tackle.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

Don't you want our team to win?

That was a good goal.

Come on, Nick.
Let's go.

-Come on, Nick.
-Come on.

Good goal, Nick, back into the game.

Yay, go on, Nick!

So, why aren't you clapping?

Theirs was teamwork.

That's just Nick being Greek.

What do you mean "Nick being Greek"?

Going berserk, individual brilliance,
that's not teamwork.

Gather round, come on, come on.

Hey.
Come on.

All in. All in here.

Okay.
Now, what do you reckon?

Top team?

-Yeah.
-You're holding them,

you're holding them, that's great.

Okay.

Now what you could do is
you move that ball down the right flank,

just keep it moving down the right flank,
looking for the cross.

Now, Steve… Steve and Nick,
you drive down the center,

looking for the volley
or the header, okay?

-Yeah.
-Good, good.

You're playing like a team.

That's good.

In my mind, you've already won.

-But do you wanna beat them?
-Yeah!

Okay.
Get out there and enjoy it!

-Yeah.
-Go.

Come on. Yes.

Yes, team. Good shot.

Now, in real football,
that would have been worth points.

Unless you've got something
positive to say, don't say it.

Now go with it.

What are the black arm bands for, mate?

Did one of your team overdose?

Death of our team manager, you jerk.

Hartley sucks, you bunch of losers.

-Losers.
-Losers.

Hey.
Are you gonna take them out or am I?

-Losers.
-Losers.

Hate to tell you this, guys,
but Bumjerker College, you're going down.

-Yeah.
-Come on, Hartley.

-Take them down!
-All right!

Come on, Hartley.

Sorry, you can't go.

Come on, Hartley.

Nick, are you all right?

-Yeah.
-Nick?

-Get up.
-Back off.

What do you think you're doing?

Yo, Nick, get up, get up.
Get up.

Hey, there you go.
Hey, you want me to take it?

-You all right?
-Yeah.

Steve.
Steve, you take it.

-You all right?
-Let Con take it, man,

-I'm gonna blow it.
-You take it, all right?

Show Southgate how it's done.

Come on.

Come on, Steve.

Yes.
Yes, yes, yes!

Good on you, Steve.
