Then why did you get it?

Okay.

Kimberly, this one's for you.

Never open the flaps when the groundhogs
are warming up.

Looks like we

got the whole team back.

Yeah, sure does.

Feel sorry about that, Coach.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

Well, at least we still got Eddie.

At least we got Eddie.

Nice catch.

Okay, Groundhogs, come on. Let's play
some ball.

Let's play. That's what we made of. Hey,
Oliver, you hang tough.

Kimberly, watch out. Your shoes.

I'm okay.

Okay, Groundhogs, first game of the
season. I really think this could be a

winning year for us.

I'd be happy with winning anything.

You beat the Panthers last year. They
had the chicken pox.

I know that.

No, you don't.

Also important to remember, this is a
building year.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Did I miss anything?

Uh, Hannah, why are you so pink?

Oh, my mom thinks I'm here trying not to
be a cheerleader.

We've heard of a baseball cheerleader.

I think it's cool. We could use a
cheerleader.

I want to be a cheerleader.

Go for it.

I'm just telling her that.

Because she was the ultimate
cheerleader. She thinks I should be one,

Has she met you?

Thank you.

Hey, better, better, better, better,
better.

Hannah, anticipate.

Aaron, put something into it. You're
throwing like a girl. And Oliver, could

be any more out of position?

Other than that, good job, everybody.

They're very fragile at this age.

Okay, Ogden's playing it close to the
base.

Ready for the line drive. Okay, heads
up.

Heads up, everybody.

Heads up.

This is it.

This could be the championship.

Remember, Groundhogs, it's time to get
serious about winning, huh?

Time to get a new team name.

More fierce, less rodent.

Time to get a new back.

This one can't hit a thing.

I'll tell you what it's time for.

I've been waiting all year for you.

A little horseradish for Heath.

Jalapeno to make us men.

And they're done.

For

Heath,

a couple of grounder hogs.

Just in case you didn't know, this is
what a baseball looks like.

But no, baseball must serve the team for
dinner.

Wait for me when I'm talking to you.
Come back here.

I'd give anything to beat those guys.

All right, well, then let's beat them.

Every year is always a building year for
us anyway. We might as well build

towards something.

Really? Yeah, really.

Okay, that's what this season's all
about. Beating the Eagles. Are you with

Yeah. Yeah.

Did you hear?

College scout coming to the Eagles
practice tomorrow.

Why aren't they coming to see Eddie?
He's the best player in the league.

True.

But you know as well as I do, groundhog
practices, sometimes they ain't so

pretty.

Uh -oh.

I can't, too.

Brace yourself.

The game's on. Did you hear something?

I didn't hear a thing. See?

I can't get back.

Hey, Eddie.

What's the matter?

You know, if you ever decide you don't
want to be a ground liar, why wouldn't I

want to be a ground liar?

I know it's frustrating for you, never
really being able to play the game

capable of playing. What are you talking
about? I play all the time. No, that's

not... Eddie, there's a lot at stake for
you this year. If this is going to be

your future, we really need to step your
game up another notch.

Okay.

He's a guest.

Why do you have to put that kind of
pressure on him? It's just a game.

Mom,

it is not just a game. See?

Eddie knows what I'm talking about.

The point is, with Eddie, it could be
more than just a game.

I know he's only 14, but there's a
chance he could have a pro career or at

a scholarship.

It's not crazy to think that a pro scout
might spot him. Have you ever heard him

say he wants to be a professional
baseball player?

I think I got a pretty good handle on
what Eddie wants.

Eddie, tell your mother. I'm going to
put some brown sugar in here.

I'm going to let the brown sugar melt.

Eddie.

Eddie. What?

Oh, yeah, that'd be great.

If it's something he really wants, he'll
figure out how to make it happen. I'm

not pushing.

I'm steering.

There's a big difference.

Ow! What happened? You all right?

Oh, everybody calm down. I just cut my
finger on time. Are you sure? Here, let

me see it. No, really, just a couple of
stitches.

Stitches? How bad is it? Honey, I can't
help you. You won't let me see it. No,

you know how you are with blood.

Honestly, one time in a man's... Oh,
I've got to sit down.

Put the food away, please. Yeah, I know.

Hank, deep breath.

There's a paper bag on the floor.

Oh, looks like it's going to be sick.

Somebody open the window, quick.

Well, at least we can watch the game
now.

Is any of this stuff edible?

Man, I'm starving.

Figures. Game's over already.

You know you got a piece of raw chicken
in your hand.

Hey, what if instead of putting this
stuff away, we make something out of it?

Let me think.

Uh, no.

Oh, come on. It'd be cool.

And my mom would be totally surprised.

I'd rather pull out my nose hairs.

I'm with him. I'd rather pull out his
nose hairs.

Besides, you don't even know how to
cook.

Sure, I do.

Kinda. I make Eddie dogs. How hard can
this be?

Yeah.

Brett, do some crying. Over here.

Are you sure the sills are supposed to
be in there?

Man, I'm just asking.

Oh, yeah.

Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Basil.

Basil. Basil.

Cardamom. Cardamom. Cardamom. Carraway.

Carraway. Carraway.

Come on, Pudgy, let's go.

Get that for me, get that for me, get
that for me. Thank you.

Hey,

we got pizza.

How's mom?

I'm fine.

You got fainted twice.

I didn't faint.

Men pass out. They don't faint.

Did you put the food away, honey?

Nope. I cooked it instead.

Okay, there's no way I'm eating that.

I'm going to lose it.

Hey, how about that?

Well, I, for one, am quite impressed.

You boys have done an amazing job.

Hey, don't look at us. We had nothing to
do with it. It was all Eddie. Hey, it

was like he was possessed or something.

Well, we're going to have to start
calling you Chef Eddie.

More like Eddie Crocker.

At least now I know what to get you for
your birthday.

An apron.

Or an Easy -Bake oven.

Knock it off. You know, now, he always
did like making little cookies with his

Play -Doh.

No, I didn't. Okay, I think that's
enough.

Oh, come on, Mom. Look.

It's Edwina, the daughter you've always
wanted. Oh, hi.

I'm Edwina. I'm the little French chef
in eighth grade, and my hobbies are

cooking and, well, cooking.

Knock it off.

Oh, come on. Relax, Eddie. We're just
teasing you.

It's not like anybody thinks you're
going to trade in your baseball mitt for

oven mitt. What is it?

I don't know, Dad. Do they let girls
play in Major League Baseball? Oh!

Guys! Guys!

No. Forget it. No way. I'm not taking
woodshop, okay? I like having ten

I can throw a baseball, I can hold a
pencil, and it means I can do this.

Frankie, you're not listening. It's the
easiest class.

How hard can it be to make a bird
happen?

Besides, if you click something off,
they pack it nice, and throw it back on.

It's no big deal. Guys, guys, you're not
even listening, okay? Alex and Andy

both said that computer science is the
classic thing.

Everyone gets an A, and for homework,
you get to play video games.

No, Mom, I'm not playing on the
computer. I'm just studying for my

They better have an advanced placement,
because I've been zapping and blowing

stuff up since I was like three.

Sorry. I guess I, uh, never really
noticed that room before.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

I bet the heebie -jeebies the first of
us saw it.

you did these. Sorry.

Here's the deal. Nobody, and I mean
absolutely nobody, knows about those.

Goes double for my brothers.

Well, one person's gonna know for sure.

Hannah, what are you doing here?

I took field hockey as an elective the
last two quarters.

I thought my mom's head might explode if
I took it again.

What's your excuse?

Eddie's an idiot. He grabbed the wrong
clipboard. All right, guys, for the

quadrillionth time, I'm sorry, but I bet
it's way better than taking computer

science.

What's that all about?

Check it out. Custom cooking, you
pincers.

Somebody should have signed up for Get a
Life 101.

Get a Life?

That's really hilarious.

Look, you little sprite. Every quarter
there's a group of stupid boys who get

stuck in here because they were too
stupid to sign up for computers or

and start acting all... Stupid?

Exactly. But I swear, if you don't sit
down and shut up, I'm going to Julian

up one side and back... down the other.
Am I making myself clear?

Uh, not really.

What's Julian?

It means to chop into thin strips.

Bridget, stop scaring the new students.

And me.

Mrs. Hadley, I was going over the text,
and I have some suggestions.

Bridget, well, I kind of need to welcome
the class, take roll, go through some

basic kitchen safety info.

Now, here's a little something. A little
something that should start things off

with a bang.

I have entry forms for the 35th annual
Million Dollar Scholastic Cook -Off.

Can you really win a million dollars?

No, no, no. That's just how much they
give out in scholarships. No, it comes

with a small cash prize and a
scholarship to the country's preeminent

institute.

What's a cook -off, you ask?

Well,

it's open to all students, eighth grades
and above.

And that's you people.

finalist when I was in high school.

To enter, a student must submit an
original recipe, and then if selected

finals, the student will be put through
a live cooking exam to test their

mastery of the craft.

And I know, I know, it sounds pretty
exciting. So if you'd like form, I

Anybody else?

Anybody at all?

Okay, well, it never is.

I thought we'd start with something
basic.

Just let you get your hands kind of
flowery, so to speak.

Get it?

No, nobody ever does.

Page 74, anatomy of a cookie.

Homemade might be totally boring, but
sitting around talking about cookies,

much easier can a class get?

Okay, okay. This is an excellent example
of why cooking time and temperature is

an integral part of baking.

I'm sorry. I thought they'd cook faster.

Is it possible for a cookie to actually
have too many chocolate chips?

There's no way I'm going to be able to
eat all of these. But I can try.

Yeah, come on back, man.

Oct is at the fridge.

He needs an original recipe, something
no one has ever tasted before.

The fans are on their feet.

What's it going to be?

Feel free to speak up.

Cook off, here we come.

Man, even PB &J cannot get rid of the
taste of that last one.

It's clinch time and Ogden knows it.

He's about to make the play of the game.

Peanut butter and jelly smoothie.

It's bold.

It's daring.

Gil, out! Gil, come on! Please, stop!
Turn up!

It's...

It's official.

He really is as dumb as he looks.

Eddie, I don't know what's going on with
you. You seem distracted.

Misplays, put off the bag.

You know, if you're not going to take
this seriously, why should I? I'm taking

it seriously.

Eddie, whether you like it or not,
you're the leader. The team looks up to

and expects you to set an example. I'm
sorry.

Baseball's got to be your priority.

And stop... Playing with your food.
You're dancing around like a little

Dad, baseball is my priority.

I swear it's the most important thing in
the world to me.

I know it is. I don't mean to come down
hard on you.

It's just that you're so good and you've
got so much potential.

Bless coach.

More Dad.

So, how was school today?

Did you sign up for computer science
like your brothers told you to?

Uh, yeah. It was our very first choice.

Good boy.

Eddie, you'd tell me if something was
bothering you, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, everything's cool.

And although similar each...

Leavening agent has its own advantages
and disadvantages.

Now yeast is a living organism, and it
contains over 3 ,200 billion cells per

pound. Now it comes in several different
forms.

We're going to be working today with the
dry form.

There's a few that we'll be using the
baking powder and the baking soda combo

for making tea bread, but we're going to
be mostly talking about... The dry

yeast. Now, the most important thing to
remember is that when you are... Your

turn. Pick a water.

...oxidating it with the water, you want
it to be warm.

If the water is too hot... Man, you're
really bad at this.

You'll end up with crackers.

All right, then. Let's start cooking.

Okay, I'm done talking now. You can
move.

All right, move it, people!

And I take lots.

So, have you found your recipe yet, you
know, for the cook -off?

I'm working on it. Why do you care?

Just curious.

Do you think people would ever use
peanut butter as a primary ingredient?

Well, the peanut is the most versatile
of the legumes. So, why couldn't it be

the cornerstone of any sound entry?

I'll take that as a yes. Have you ever
noticed that when you heat it up just

right... What are you doing?

Nothing. We're talking about the cook
-off. No, we're not.

Yes, we are.

She's crazy. Come on, we better get back
to work. Hey, is something going on

with you guys?

Would me and Bridget get real?

Hello, standing right here.

Well, it sounds to me like someone's
really starting to take an interest in

class.

No, I'm not. I hate this class.

Okay, interest might have been a little
strong.

Then, uh... What are you doing over
here?

I, uh... I... I just...

came over here to do this.

Eddie?

You know what I gotta do, right? What,
DP?

If you must, you must.

Stay calm, take a deep breath, and clap.

Everybody, we don't want to...

the best spoon fight I've ever had in my
entire life. Even with a month of

Saturday detention.

Even better than that summer camp soda
massacre.

Even better than the ice cream fight of
my cousin Sweet 16.

Totally. Even better than the second
grade spaghetti melee.

Hey. Yo, it's gonna take Bridget like
weeks to get that cake batter out of her

hair. Yeah, she should just enter
herself into that cook -off.

I guess I shouldn't have blasted her
with that egg. That was so gross.

Hey. Know what's gross?

This.

Oh, that is disgusting.

Nasty.

Oh.

Hey, now that's not bad. Actually,
that's better than not bad. I'd have to

that's quite delicious.

What?

Hey, we missed lunch, and I'm hungry.

It's good.

This is great.

It tastes kind of like barbecue sauce,
only better.

You put this up on anything and I'll eat
it.

Okay, we've got to find out what was in
this. Do you remember what they were

making at the station? And why is it
purple? What's this texture? Does it

you more of like applesauce or ketchup?

Dude, get a grip.

I mean, it's good, but it's just a bowl
of purple sauce.

Well, yeah, but... But what?

But nothing.

Come on, we've still got to wash down
the ceiling.

Samson, we have sauce.

All right, come on, guys. We can do
this.

Okay, Groundhog, focus. We're still in
this.

Frankie. Hey, I got to keep up with my
Yankees.

Okay, Jordan, come on. Don't let those
Panthers intimidate you.

He hit it. I can't believe it. We might
actually win.

Oliver, what are you doing?

Is that the gunk from class?

Did you make that?

Would you guys chill out?

It's my mom's recipe she got from a
magazine.

Well, put it away, people.

There's no food in the dugout. What's
the matter with you?

Eddie, you're up.

It's all up to you, buddy. Okay.

Let's go, Eddie.

You're really one of the guys.

If we keep working, there is no reason
we can't beat the Eagles.

Man, I'd love to beat that coach.

Paul is tough talk. Do you know what he
does for a living?

He's a nurse.

You're going to spit your gum out,
right?

Can't test it once. Got to double -check
it.

Actually, triple -check it.

I know, dear.

This isn't my first time at the rodeo.

Why does that have to do with anything?

Is that your big cook -off recipe?

Aren't you finished yet?

So not your business. She finished
yesterday, but we're just making sure

everything is absolutely perfect.

Oh, I sifted the flour twice. Make sure
you take that into account.

Yes. Oh, I assume that would be here.

The part that you underlined in bold and
put arrows around.

I, uh, I don't understand.

You wouldn't.

Cooking is a science, and all of the
measurements have to be precise, down to

the last quarter teaspoon.

That's the little one.

If they're not, you're immediately
disqualified.

Oh, well, uh, well, good luck with that.

Whatever.

Okay, only an hour before anyone gets
home.

Don't panic. Just start with two cups of
sugar and work your way back from

there.

No!

We're out of sugar.

Now what?

Mom!

I can explain.

There's this contest, you know, like on
the back of cereal boxes. Like the

million dollar cook -off.

The entry form is next to you.

It's not what you're thinking. It's not
some stupid girl thing. I mean, it is

mainly girls, but guys can enter too.

And it comes with this cash prize and
this scholarship to this amazing school.

And I don't know if you've ever seen the
Food Channel, but like every other

person on there is a guy. So I don't
know why you make it such a big deal out

this.

Okay.

I don't think I'm the one who's making a
big deal out of it.

Why is this so important to you?

I don't know.

It's not.

Hey, maybe if I win, it won't matter if
I like to do it.

Who says you have to win?

So that's it? That's what this is all
about? You like to cook?

It's just some dumb idea. Can we please
just forget about it?

And deprive the world of Eddie's
incredible edible barbecue sauce?

Okay, but you can't tell Dad.

Or Alex and Andy.

I can't lie to your father.

I really think he would understand. No,
he wouldn't. And you know he wouldn't.

Well, maybe he would.

Okay, maybe he wouldn't.

Anyway, what have you got left to do?

How can I help?

Yeah, not on that.

colorful, and it's easy to eat.

It's quite a big announcement. It's
huge.

I've just gotten off the phone with the
cook -off people.

And, you know, they were so sweet. They
all remembered me.

Said, people still talking about my
winning triple berry torts 30 years

And I don't know, maybe they were just
being nice.

Of course they were just being nice. Did
I make the finals or didn't I?

Bridget, there's a little something
called building anticipation.

Yes, Bridget, you are in the finals.

Oh, my God, yes!

Go, Bridget.

Oh.

Oh, and the other finalist is Eddie
Ogden.

It would be funny.

Jokes are usually funnier when you share
them with your friends. I know. I

should have told you. I just thought
that you would think it was stupid.

Yes, yes.

I do think it's stupid.

Just tell me this.

Do you like home ec?

Yes or no?

No, I don't like it.

I don't know.

Maybe I don't hate it as much as you
guys do.

Sometimes it's not that bad.

Okay, I like it.

I like making something out of nothing.

I like figuring out what goes together.

I like doing something no one's ever
done before.

I don't know why, I just like it.

He likes it.

Come on, this is stupid.

I won with that gross purple gunk.

This whole cook -off thing, it's a total
joke.

You gotta admit, it is kind of funny.

Yeah, kind of.

Thought Bridget's head was going to spin
right off.

Hey, you know what's going to be funny?

Your dad's face when he finds out.

My dad.

Give me that.

Okay,

okay. You can torture your brother
later. Go on. Go, go, go.

It's a certificate.

And they've ruined it.

You know, it's against the law to read
other people's mail.

Oh, they didn't open it.

Your home act teacher called to share in
our excitement.

You don't look very excited.

Oh, really?

Because nothing excites me more than
having my son lie to me and sneak around

behind my back.

I'm sorry that I lied. And this cook
-off thing, what's that about?

It's nothing. It's just a thing.

It's not going to interfere with
baseball or school or anything, I

Eddie, I thought we had some kind of
understanding.

Hi, everybody's home early.

What's going on?

I got into the cook -off.

Oh, honey, that's great.

Congratulations.

Obviously, this isn't coming as a big
surprise to you.

No, not really.

I mean, his recipe was really good.

Eddie, is there some reason you told
your mother and not me?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I guess I was just afraid.

I don't know what I was afraid of.

I think we all know what you were afraid
of.

Okay, fine.

Clearly I have no idea what's going on
around here anymore.

You think you can handle it?

More power to you.

Handle what?

He's also the only boy in his age
bracket.

Oh, and Bridget Simmons is also a
finalist. Simon, you buffoon! Bridget

Hey, Eddie.

Wanna try out?

You okay?

Uh, yeah, I'm fine.

Want me to take him out?

No, really, I'm okay, but thanks for the
offer.

I can't believe you're going through
with this.

You know, I don't know why everybody's
making such a big deal out of it.

People are idiots.

Just lay low and... Daddy!

Get in here! We've got some serious cook
-off training to do!

All righty, then. Let's get cracking.

I really don't think we need to do this.
I'm serious. Oh, so am I.

Where they hatch.

Smooth.

Okay, so I can't crack an egg. Who
cares? I can do all the rest of it.

Oh, really?

Can you saute?

Fricassee? Cleave? Fold?

Mince? Gauld? Cream? Reduce? Extract?
Whip and flambe?

Can you zest a lemon?

Poach a pear?

Cream of custard, layer of lasagna,
coddle an egg, dress a lamb.

What are you going to learn?

The finals are about knowledge and
mastery of the craft, and they can throw

anything at you.

Your days of self -indulgent creativity
are over.

Come on, you want to win this, don't
you? Yeah, but I really... No, no, no,

buts, no. The world is going to learn
that Mrs. Rose Hadley, certified

nutritionist, is still...

A force to be reckoned with, and you
guys are going to tell them. So, for the

next month, you're going to do nothing
but eat, breathe, sleep, home economics.

Oh, except Tuesday.

That's when I jazzercise.

Hey.

Coming?

Uh, I've got some work to do.

You said it, brother.

Right hand on the egg.

There we go. And it goes.

Oh, try again. Okay.

Should have been there, should have made
it by now. But I'm down on my knees

when nobody's around.

Yeah, I tried to be strong, but I lost
it somewhere. In the midst of a dream, I

forgot about reality.

And it hit me real hard.

Hey,

bud. Hey, good game?

Yeah, yeah, it's going good.

How's Carrie Wood doing?

Her phone's really good.

Later.

It was still pretty close. And it was
only our second loss of the season.

Usually we've had like five or six
losses by now.

Guess I was just getting used to
winning.

Are you blaming me?

Hey, how could we blame you?

You're still better than all of us put
together.

Maybe we just want it more.

What is that supposed to mean?

It's weird.

What's weird?

It's weird that you'd rather bake cakes
than play baseball. It's weird that

you'd rather read a cookbook than a
comic book.

It's just weird.

I thought we talked about this. Yeah, I
know, you like it. But what if I

suddenly said I like playing with dolls?

You used to play with dolls all the
time.

What? Don't you remember? In
kindergarten, you brought your sister's

show and tell like three times. Now that
was weird. That is not the same thing

and you know it.

See ya.

Yeah, well, gotta go.

I really think this is your best effort
so far.

Thanks.

Oh, I'm so dead.

Let's go, Frankie!

Come on, Frankie.

Hey, sorry I'm late. I didn't know
souffle takes over an hour to bake.

What's the matter?

You're losing?

By a lot.

That's nothing.

Marcus and Kimberly are on base. I'll
just hit them home. They're only down by

two runs.

Strike three.

You're up.

Okay, Jordan. You're up.

Jordan, come on. Dad put me in. There's
two outs. You missed three innings.

You're out of the game.

Out of the game?

Come on. Can't you make an exception?

Longo, is there a souffle exception?

Nope. Just went by apple pie.

Everybody out on the field. Hannah, keep
playing first. D .B., you take short.

Come on, Groundhog. Let's go.

Come on, guys. Hustle, hustle, hustle.

I figured it out last night.

Even though we lost yesterday, we just
have to win one more game and we get to

play the Eagles for the championships.

Okay, that's cool. Yeah.

Hey, it's the Hogs.

The only team with their own chef.

What are you going to do on the 15th?

What? The 15th?

If we make it to the playoffs, that's
the day we play the Eagles.

And it's also the day of your cook -off.

So what's it going to be?

Well, I... Yeah, that's what I thought.

Hey, why are you mad at me for something
that might not even happen? Why don't

you go sit with your girls? Swap
recipes.

Here's my applesauce. Maybe you can bake
a cake out of it or something.

Or something.

you say but that was definitely the
greatest food fight of all time i mean i

just felt so free okay so i'm not the
one who has to clean the

cafeteria every day for the next month
but if you look at it like

that

is that applesauce in your hair yeah i'm

baking a cake later

How much longer do we have to do this?

Where do you have to go? Hey, your
baseball career is over. Okay, focus,

Focus, people.

This is crunch time. Magic Hour is just
a week away, and neither of you can shop

to save your life.

Okay, now, when it comes to Julianning,
there are two schools of thought.

There's the ultra -skinny French
toothpick style, and then there's the

robust American matchstick style. Now,
each has its pros and cons. This is so

stupid.

Who cares how big they are?

Who cares if they're in cubes or stars
or little sticks? They're carrots.

And no matter what you do to them,
they're going to taste like carrots.

This is a total waste of time.

Hey.

I'm guessing there's more. There's a lot
more.

I hate not having any friends. I hate
that my dad can barely look at me. I

that my brothers tease me. I hate that
everybody makes fun of me because of

stupid cook -off. And more than
anything, I hate...

Chopping up vegetables.

Are you through?

You may hate all those things now, Eddie
Ogden, but I'm guessing that deep down

you love cooking even more.

So don't talk yourself out of doing this
just because. Forget it.

I'm done. I'm going back to where I'm
supposed to be.

You think that's why everybody makes fun
of me?

Because I love to cook?

No. Oh, no.

There are plenty of other reasons.

Okay, back to chopping.

Okay, I don't want to psych you guys
out, but we beat the Cougars, and we're

the playoffs, huh?

I'm ready.

Baking cookies.

Okay, now look. I know you guys can do
this, but it's going to take a little

strategy. First, keep the ball low and
down the third base line.

The Cougar third baseman, he can catch
anything, but he throws like a real

He can barely get it to first half the
line. I throw like a girl.

What? I throw like a girl because I am a
girl.

Hannah throws like a girl, too.

She's just good at it.

Kimberly, that's not what I meant. Why
is it a compliment every time you say, I

run like a boy, but an insult when you
say, I run like a girl?

Can't I just be a good runner or a bad
runner?

You are a bad woman. I know that.

Everyone knows that. But it's not
because I'm a girl. It's because I'm an

uncoordinated dwarf, like Marcus and
Jordan.

Hey!

The cougars they're basing can't throw.

Period.

Okay.

If there aren't any more unresolved
issues... My dad's a nurse.

What? You made fun of the Eagles coach
for being a nurse.

Oliver, I'm sorry. I didn't mean
anything. He saves people's lives. My

a florist. And why do I have to be one
of the guys?

Can't I just be part of the team?

Hey, what's everybody standing around
for?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to play some baseball.

This is where I'm supposed to be, right,
Dad?

Right.

Definitely right.

And since that's settled, let's go win
ourselves a ball game! Yeah!

My old man was a hairdresser.

pay for these extra pizzas.

Don't worry, boys and girls.

Reinforcements have arrived.

Hey.

Good game.

Thanks. You too.

Hi. Hi.

I'm sorry. I was expecting the pizza
guy.

You're not him.

Are you?

Somebody wants her apron back.

I wish we had something we could offer
you.

Cookie? Oh, thank you.

Eddie, you know why I'm here.

You need to be at that cook -off
tomorrow.

Oh, I can't. Why?

The Groundhogs are in the playoffs.

Oh, is that all?

Boy, have you walked into the wrong
house.

It's the biggest game of the year and
everybody's counting on me. He's not

to let his team down, Mrs. Hadley.

No.

Apparently just himself.

Look, you've got Bridget. She'll be
great.

Yeah, Bridget, sure. She can whisk till
the cows come home.

But she has no passion. She has no
instinct.

But you, Eddie Ogden, you are... You're
a natural. It's what you were

born to do.

A little melodramatic, huh?

Oh, I was afraid of that.

Did you get for practicing in front of
your cats?

Well, all righty then. I gave it the old
cordon bleu try.

Well, thanks for coming.

And thanks for the cookies. They're
amazing.

It's the ginger.

You see, I...

I'm sorry for all this, but it's just
that Eddie, he has so much potential,

I want him to think long -term, and I
know I shouldn't push.

Oh, no, but sometimes you have to.

Well,

goodbye.

Goodbye. Thanks for coming, Miss Hadley.

Eddie, could you do me just one favor?
Sleep on it.

Don't make your final decision till
tomorrow.

Please, just promise me.

I promise.

But if I know my son, I wouldn't count
on it.

Well, I'm sure nobody knows him better
than you.

Another home number?

I think it is. It's high and long.
Against the crack plane standards?

God.

On in five, four, three, two.

Hi, everybody. I'm Bobby Flay, and
welcome to the Million Dollar Cook -Off.

Today, eight talented finalists will
tantalize us with spectacular dishes as

they compete from prizes and
scholarships to the culinary schools of

dreams.

Nice, Bobby. Look good.

Eddie Ogden?

Yeah.

Welcome, but you better hustle and get
yourself set up here.

Oh, I'm not staying.

I just kind of wanted to see everything.

It's so cool. What do you mean you're
not staying?

Oh, I've got a game.

It's kind of hard to explain. You know,
people are counting on me and my dad is.

I think I get it.

Well, good luck.

You'll be missed.

Thanks. See ya.

Hey, how do you crack an egg with one
hand?

You stick around, and I'll show you how.

I'm going to be late. See you.

I don't know where he is. Why are you
blaming me?

I'm sorry.

It's just, I don't know.

I don't know who he is anymore. He
doesn't tell me anything.

He doesn't tell you, or he's telling you
things you just don't want to hear.

What's that supposed to mean?

Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad. Sorry I'm late.

Remember, it's all about beating the
Eagles. I remember.

Eddie Crocker.

I thought you had cupcakes to bake.

Gee, you know, I love to sit around and
compare recipes, but... I've got some

basics to learn.

Welcome back to the Million Dollar Cook
-Off. We are just seconds away from

seeing these eight... Well, actually,
seven... young chefs in action. When I

ring the bell, every contestant will
have exactly two hours to present the

judges with a complete meal using the
ingredients you see here.

Easy, easy, easy. And they also must use
all four of today's secret ingredients.

Chocolate, chicken, lemon, and check
this out, red hot chili peppers.

Okay, not so easy. But I bet you Eddie
could win it using nothing more than a

pickle fork and a Bunsen burger.

Right, Eddie?

Why are you watching that?

Well, Eddie might not be on TV, but his
name was. That's pretty cool. Let's go,

Eddie. Eye on the ball. Eye on the ball.

If it was that cool, he'd be there.

Okay, Eddie.

Focus, Eddie. Focus.

So, on your mark.

All right, come on, Jordan.

Come on. Eye on the ball.

Eye on the ball.

What's wrong with Eddie? We've never
seen him play this bad.

Yeah, he better pull himself together.

Or what?

What do you mean, or what?

We're going to lose. That's or what.

And turn that off. I don't think your
cook -off play -by -plays are helping.

Well, I don't think that you making him
choose between cooking and having

friends is helping either, D .B.

What? He's completely lost it.

See, this is what happens when you
forget to wear a batting helmet.

All right, Jordan, let's go!

Eddie's here because he wants to be
here. Because he wants to beat the

Is that why you're here?

No, I'm here because I love baseball.

Yeah, kind of like Eddie in cooking,
huh?

without Eddie, we can't win.

Let's go, Eddie.

Oh, man.

Hey, Ogden.

Why is it always up to you?

What? Eddie hit a home run.

Eddie make the play. Eddie save us.

Won't you let us do it for a change?

Do we want to say Eddie did this for us
or that we won it for ourselves?

Hey, I'm just trying to help.

Help? We don't need your help.

We don't want your help. In fact, we
don't want you.

It's better off making some pies or some
stupid contest than here.

Right? Right!

So go.

You go do what you have to do.

Let us do what we have to do.

Help me out here, guys.

Go! Get out of here!

So you guys are really cool?

Oh, give me that. You're not the only
one who can hit me in a couple of rucks.

and have about an hour and a half left.

Push me left. All right.

So what?

That's it?

You're quitting?

No, I'm not quitting.

I'm starting.

You wouldn't understand. I gotta go.

You'll get there quicker if I drive you.
Thanks.

Daddy!

Good thing the Eagles coach is a nurse
because I think this dragon is going to

need one.

But you know, we can't give you any more
time.

There's only an hour and three minutes
left.

I can do it.

Oh,

see, I can't get him to clean the
bathroom, but he'll stick his hand up a

chicken's butt.

You're up.

You're up.

This is where the lack of time is really
going to hurt him. There is no room for

mistake.

Okay, don't panic.

Chocolate tart instead of chocolate pie.

Problem solved.

He looks bad.

He's rushing. I don't think he has
enough time.

Man,

one of us should have gone to help him.

Everyone else has people helping them.

Okay, it's okay.

Oh no!

It's my mom!

No, Hannah! We can't do this!

later, nor will I ever be one.

But I am one of the best shortstops in
the league, and a decent batter when I

remember to keep my elbow up.

You can rant and scream all you want,
but it's going to have to wait until

I bat.

Yes!

Well,

then you'll probably need this.

My batting glove?

I found it in your jeans this morning.

Hannah, honey.

I'm only disappointed that you thought
that I wouldn't support you doing

something that you love.

Final warning.

Really? So you don't mind?

No.

But we'll talk after the game.

Right now.

Go show your mother what you can do.

Thanks, Mom.

Go get them.

what those words actually mean?

Now, that last call was in your favor.

Well, maybe if you'd keep your eyes open
for a change, we'd get some decent

calls. There's no reason for you to
go... There is no reason that these kids

have worked so long and so hard should
lose because some screw -up doesn't know

the first thing about baseball.

I swear.

One more word out of you and you're out
of this game.

Oh, yeah?

This means so much to you that I must be
missing something. So maybe you can

show me why it's so important to you.

Now? Now? No, not now.

Later.

Now, I just thought maybe you could use
a little help.

Well, all I've got is a burnt pie and a
bubbling pot of chocolate. So, yeah, I

could use a lot of help. Okay. So, just
tell me what to do, coach.

Okay. I'll chop these. You crack a
couple of those eggs into that bowl.

What? Weren't I doing it right?

Eddie, less than two minutes.

I swear, if that meringue doesn't sit
up, your life is over.

All right, put the peppers on.

Where? On the chocolate? Yeah, hurry.

Eddie, whoever heard of that?

Okay.

Well, folks, this is it, the groundhog's
last chance.

Two outs and two on, the winning run at
the plate, and the Eagles leading 8 -6.

Let's go, TV!

You've got to hit a triple of a tie and
a home run to win. There's no way you're

even making it to first.

Oh, yeah?

Just watch me.

Straight point.

Oh, it's okay. It's all right. It's all
right. It's all right. Hey, I'm talking.

Can't you see he's trying to distract
me?

Three, two, one.

Come on, DB, pay attention.

Eddie, less than 30 seconds.

Chocolate chicken?

I think he's lost it.

No, no, no, no, no. It's mole.

Oh. And chicken wrapped in bacon has
just hit the table. It sure smells like

winner.

Dad, get the lemon custard out of the
fridge. Eddie!

Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

And without a moment to spare, chicken
mole makes a welcome appearance.

Uh -oh.

Dad, come on. Give me a second.

Eddie, this lemon thing.

Didn't say.

I've not enough time.

You

don't

have lemon.

Suppose I have something with lemon.

Before we announce the winner, I would
just like to say this has been one tough

competition. You demonstrated your
creativity.

You showed us your passion.

And the future at the stove is bright
for each and every one of you.

Today alone has been one amazing
achievement.

And now, the winner of the $1 million
galactic cook -off.

Well, that's it. Thanks for watching,
everybody. Until next year, I'm Bobby

for the Million Dollar Cook -Off.

Eddie, I'm sorry.

Don't worry, Dad. It's no big deal.

Eddie.

Bridget creamed them with her lemon
meringue angel food pie.

Come on, sport. You gave me your best
shot.

Yeah, but I struck out.

You didn't strike out. Bridget just hit
it out of the park.

Either way, I lost.

Hey, Eddie, come on.

What a game, huh?

This wasn't about you winning.

It was about you doing something that
you love.

And you know what?

You're really good at it.

You're a kid with a lot of gifts and a
lifetime to sort them out. So cook, play

baseball, take up lawn bowling.

That's something else I don't
understand.

Just remember, win or lose, I'm always
on your team.

We heard the news, man.

Sorry.

It's okay.

I'm cool.

And you know what they say. If you can't
take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

That's right.

Look, guys, I'm really sorry if I let
you down.

No. Yeah.

For once, we actually had to rely on
ourselves.

Guess what?

We won!

Yeah? Everybody says you know everything
about food. Well, here's something that

you don't know.

Eddie Igan is the best cook in this
whole dumb cook -off, and you know it.

no arguments here.

So, why didn't he win?

Why isn't he holding up the trophy doing
the right thing?

Check him out.

Come on, check him out.

He looks like a winner to me.

I feel you, man.

So,

who wants to celebrate?

Let's go get some meat.

Any dogs?

Yeah!
