out there.

Come on, coach.

We're still in it. We're only down 35 -0.

If we had fans, they'd pull us off the field. My mama's out there.

Where? Oh, she's on the other side.

With a bag over her head. Yeah, David's mama's our biggest fan.

What is she like, 250, 300?

Don't get hurt, water boy.

Oh, please, Dave. All I gotta do is stand in the end zone.

Y 'all never come in there.

Get over there.

Oh, y 'all can fight each other, but you can't fight the other team.

Y 'all are a pathetic team.

The only team that I know is worse was last year's team.

And the team before that.

And the team before... Yeah, yeah, right around the time you started coaching.

You know what you think?

I think not.

Oh. Oh.

So you want to blame coach?

Fine. Go ahead. Blame me.

Because I blame you.

I'm not the one missing passes my niece could catch. Yeah, David.

Or throwing two interceptions on one play.

Or stealing team ice and

shoestrings. That video was blurry. You can't prove a thing.

And defense.

I mean, y 'all are so bad, they need to call your escorts.

Because all you do is escort people into our end zone.

I am embarrassed to be your coach.

Coach Reggie. What?

Oh, hey, Corp. That's not the way you talk to these kids.

Kids? Yes.

Kids know how to play.

They're losers.

It's not whether you win or lose.

It's how you play the game. Yes.

Nonsense.

It's about smashing faces.

It's about...

Boy, you better sit down.

This is not how you motivate people to win.

What? My coach talked to me the same way, and look at me.

Yeah, two losing seasons. You're kind of proving a point, coach. I will snatch

that mohawk off and make a goatee.

Now, Cora, this is football, and you don't know nothing about this.

Well, I know these boys are looking sad, and they need to believe in themselves.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, these...

Are these boys sad?

Huh?

Because the coach is nothing but a big, bad meanie.

Get out of here.

All right, fine, Cora.

You know what?

Obviously, you can do the job better than me.

I didn't say that.

Oh, no, no, no. I don't know what I'm doing, so show me how it's done.

you could walk.

Right? Why you start playing in the first place?

Because it was fun.

Exactly! You don't lose that.

You don't keep your chin up.

Team spirit, you get out there and you have fun and you play ball!

And don't hurt nobody.

Yes!

Go team!

Go team!

Go team! Have fun!

Right?

Let's go.

My baby can spell.

Already? No.

It's a program.

Josh gave it to M -E, me.

I think that's for infants.

Keep up the good work.

Are you two doing your chores?

Listening to Simone is a chore.

just came over here because it's always so quiet.

I didn't break the lamp next to Brianna's diary.

What? But Sasha might be interested in June 6th.

Joaquin!

Do something about Joaquin! I will talk to him, Bri.

Don't talk to him! Beat him!

While you're at it, can you talk to Josh, too?

You're baby's father.

And what's wrong with him?

have anything to do with the baby, but now he's always at the house, and my

mother has us practically married.

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed, I like to get away so I can think.

Hold that thought.

Okay.

Hey, everybody.

Hi, Josh. Josh, what are you doing here?

Simone, did you forget your mom's taking us to get our family portrait?

Here, I brought your sweater.

Thanks. She's got to hurry up. She said afterwards she's going to get us a crib.

She's getting us a house?

No, a crib for the baby.

The baby's getting a house?

No, Simone.

It's for sleeping.

Oh, and afterwards, after the baby's born, she said I get to move in. Isn't

great? Yay!

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Get him!

You better run him!

Look at him walk home! Yes!

Now, that's how you... He's stiff on me. Look at him stiff on me, Waco.

Touchdown! That's what I'm talking about. That's how you play the game

there. Old school, right there. Mr. Brown, could you teach me about

Oh, sure.

Yes.

I'm going to teach you how to be a running back. Really?

Yes. Here, take this 20, go to the store, give me some snacks, and come

back. That was so lame.

Thank goodness we're not related.

If we were, you would have this supersonic hearing.

And that extra toe.

Extra pinky toe.

I'm coming.

Oh, Alma and Puff Daddy.

Mr. Brown, still as charming as ever.

And Alma, still the youngest grandmama on the block.

Have you seen Simone?

Have you tried La La Land?

Alma, hey.

Bree and Simone aren't back yet.

Really? She's going to be late. I signed them up for a parenting class.

Great. We've seen your work.

Babies having babies.

So, Josh, are you threatening to be a dad?

To be honest, I was a little nervous at first. He loves the idea of he and

Simone being a real family.

And I've made plans to take care of the baby while they're in school. Isn't that

right, Josh?

Yes, ma 'am.

And they're going to have a simple ceremony after graduation. Right, Josh?

Yes, ma 'am. And Simone's okay with all this? Are you kidding? That's all she

talks about. Isn't that right, Josh?

Well, actually, when we first... Well, of course it is.

I just got a text from Simone. She ran away.

What do you mean she ran away?

She texted me.

Um, on a bus, leaving town, trapped, gotta think.

Wait, let me see this.

Oh, my gosh.

What? She spelled leaving right.

I know, right? That's my girl.

Leaving?

Where would she get an idea like that?

My baby can spell.

No, I meant where would she get the idea to run away?

She must have misunderstood what I said.

You? What'd you say?

I was trying to give her advice, and when I talked to her, she... You told a

pregnant 16 -year -old to run away? That's not what I'm saying. Then what

you saying?

Simone felt like you two were smothering her.

Wait, what did I do?

Boy, you got her pregnant. That's what you do.

You do whatever Mrs. Taylor wants.

What I want is what's best for my daughter.

Why don't you two try to call her, okay?

Alma, listen, I... Outside... They'll fight.

Alma, I know exactly how you feel, okay? Don't tell me how I feel.

Your daughter is home. My pregnant daughter is on a bus to who knows where

thanks to you.

Well, maybe you should have listened to what she wanted. Simone doesn't know

what she wants. She's a teenager. Did you ask her?

Look. I don't need you to tell me how to raise my daughter.

Mama, that's not what I am trying to do. I'm not trying to tell you how to raise

your daughter. I was trying to help. Well, stop.

You've already made things worse.

Come on, Josh.

All right, you guys. Milo, Milo, calm down.

All right, guys, come on. Come on. All right. All right, you ready? Ready?

six, seven, eight.

Rah, rah, we... Kick him in the knee. Rah, rah, rah. Kick him in the... Oh! Go

Gators! Yeah!

Oh, you boys are great!

Yes. What the what?

What the sugar pie honey...

Nobody want none of that sweet stuff.

Cora, you're going to get these boys kicked, and they mama's going to come

jumping on you. They are not. Yes, they are. I've been watching football movies

all night, and one thing they all had in common was a cool dad's number.

Wildcats, Remember the Titans, A League of Their Own.

Cora, you do realize that that's a woman's baseball movie?

Cora Jean, come here.

What? Cora, Cora, Cora, Cora.

What is it?

Cora, I thought I'd never say this, but I'm embarrassed to be your daddy.

What? Because that's embarrassing.

Hold it.

Why don't you tell her about the plays?

Besides the fact they don't work?

I don't like her intention.

He doesn't... And, and, and, I love to dance. That's what I'm talking about.

Get out.

Y 'all can't be serious.

Yes, we're serious. No, you can't be serious. We are...

Get someone to sit down.

And right here, run.

Runny loves to draw.

What about Ricky, Bobby, and Mike? And don't forget Johnny.

And I could blow a bubble with my spit. Y 'all want to see? No!

Sit down somewhere.

With lips like them, I bet you can blow up a hot air balloon.

Miss Simmons, coach.

Can I talk to you for a second? Oh, sure. Mr. Brink, can you do some drills

the boys? Oh, I thought you never asked.

Get over here, everybody!

Get down on the ground and give me a thousand push -ups in one minute.

Cool.

I know you mean well, but you're going to get these boys slaughtered. They're

already getting slaughtered. I'm just trying to teach them to respect each

other. Twenty -teen.

Respecting each other is fine, but you need to teach them how to knock the

respect out of those tigers.

Chill it.

I learned that from the boys.

That's a combination between relaxing and chilling.

Chill it.

They'll be all right. You better get me twenty more.

Hurry up.

Why did you stop in Augusta? That's as far as $33 would take me.

I'm just glad you're home.

And so are we.

Simone, your mom's on her way.

How long would it take me to walk back to Augusta?

You know you're going to have to face her eventually.

But I don't. Peace.

You both do.

Why talk?

She never listened.

Honey, listen, the best thing you can do is tell her how you feel.

Be honest.

Oh, Simone, thank goodness you're all right.

Miss Taylor, there's something we need to talk to you about.

Come on, let's get you home.

Miss Taylor, there's something we need to... And you're so lucky to have

like Josh to take care of you for the rest of your life.

But there's something they both want to tell you. Sasha, I kind of... Mom!

Josh and I like each other.

But what if we don't end up together?

Well, that's ridiculous, right, Josh?

Yes, ma 'am.

Uh, no, ma 'am.

Look, I want to be a good father, but I also want to finish high school, go to

college, and become an engineer.

And so do I.

Well, not the engineer or the father part.

We're not ready to settle down and be a family.

We may never be.

You don't want to raise a child alone like I did.

She won't.

I'll be there.

Me too.

And so will I.

So you all think I'm wrong for wanting the best for my daughter?

I'm not saying that.

But I need to have a say in what's best for me, too.

If that's okay with you.

So, you're saying you want me out of your life.

Mom! No, why do you always do this?

I want you in my life. I just don't want you to control it.

Fine.

Would it be too controlling if I asked you to give me a hug?

Pumpkin, all you had to do was tell me what you wanted, and I could have very

easily set up a flistening.

Got it.

Why don't we get you home, or wherever you guys would like to go?

I want to go to I -H -O -P, Waffle House.

Come on.

Sasha, about what I said the other day, I realize that, you know, you're all

trying to help. But I may have crossed the line a little bit. I wanted to make

sure that I wasn't accusing you of meddling in other people's business.

You got it. You got it. And I'm done.

Toodle. Okay, people.

Curry, you're not serious. You got to be kidding. In the locker room?

Pop a ring?

All right, boys, it's inspection time.

All right, we're looking good. Looking good.

I hope everybody has on clean underwear.

Dennis, did you take your allergy medicine?

All right.

All right. Milo, did you put some lotion on those elbows?

Yes, Coach Simmons.

David, did you put on some deodorant? No, Coach Simmons. Not since the fourth

grade.

Here,

freshen up.

Very funny.

Yes, I do.

My boys are so neat and so cute.

Cora, can I make a suggestion?

Sure. How about if we take these boys out for pizza right now while they still

got taste in their mouth?

You're about to get these boys bladed.

you to show that tiger's running back that you're here. Don't you back there.

All right, listen up.

Remember, a penalty is not a penalty unless you get caught.

So you can just take him like this, catch through his helmet and everything,

then gouge him right there. Why are you two trying to corrupt these boys?

What? We just trying to get these boys ready. These boys are ready. I got this.

My boys are ready and so neat, so fresh and so clean.

My boys know they can win.

game pep talk.

Just my pride.

Carl, I got to admit, Big Brother was right.

You and this coaching thing ain't going to work out, Carl.

Never mind then.

It's your thing. Do what you want to do.

You okay?

My coaching days are over.

Go ahead and gloat.

Oh, come on now. I'm not going to gloat.

Maybe a little.

it was a good idea to hide the football from the other team all the time why is

that illegal every time because it's the rules hey car it's football now

it's a combination of toughness ow and working together as a team

and also respecting each other i know i could do a better job at that oh so you

did learn a little something yes thank you

Hey, Secor, you know, I still could use a good assistant coach.

Really? Even after all that?

Yeah. Wow.

Brown, you got the job.

Oh, yeah.

All right, everybody get up. I know y 'all just played. We're going to break

down.
