All language subtitles for Double Teamed

Come on, let's go. One, two, three,
four.

We're gonna start a revolution.

We're gonna create a new solution.

We're gonna smash and break right
through them all.

I see we're running out of energy.

What I would love is to be there on
Saturdays like most normal people.

Oh, my goodness.

It's quiet.

All right, 6 .45.

Practice starts in 15 minutes.

twins and take off my sunglasses.

You do this to torture me, right?

Mom, you're going to make a change,
right? Who cares? It's volleyball

not a beauty pageant. My friends will
think I'm a double mint geek.

If you worry half as much about your
game as you do about what your friends

think. Order!

Order in the kitchen.

All right, which one of you changed the
last time? I did. You did not.

Changes. But, Mom... Choose.

You lose.

Fine.

I'll wear another sweatshirt. But I
still say it looks better on me.

Let's go. You're going to be late.

Oh,

no way. This one's yours.

How on earth do you tell them apart?

Ah, it's easy.

Heidi's the one that gives me a
migraine.

She had half the motivation of her
sister.

Yeah, she likes to goof off. What kid
doesn't? Scouts get that.

What do you mean, scouts?

You know, the scholarship thing.

Athletics, college.

It's a little early for that, don't you
think?

San Diego State didn't think so. Or
Hawaii.

Or SC.

They all had people looking at my
daughter when she was their age.

You gotta be kidding.

Welcome to big -time recruiting.

It starts early. Nothing's official, of
course. Nobody talks to a kid until

their senior year.

I'll be against the rules, but you can
bet the big programs have their people

out there looking.

I'm surprised you haven't seen them at
the twin school games.

Well, they don't really have school
games.

They don't even really have a team.

What do you mean they don't have a team?
Every school has a team.

Well, not Coast Christian. It's a small
private school.

You know, if I were you, I would
consider getting the girls into a larger

school, one with a really...

strong athletic program.

Well, I guess the scouts can recruit
here just like they can at a big school.

Yeah.

When's the last time you saw a scout
here?

You know, the game is getting better.

But you didn't have to get so bent about
the net thing.

Dad's just trying to help.

No, he wants me to be like you.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're totally into volleyball. That's
cool.

I like him a lot, too, but if Dad had it
his way, it's all I'd ever do.

So he wants you to be a great player.
What's wrong with that? Maybe it's not

what I want.

Or maybe it is. I don't know. There's
just a lot of other things to check out

once you start high school, you know?
Yeah.

Besides, I could do with a hell of a
comparison.

Well, this is Heidi. Not bad, but she's
no peasant.

Must be tough.

Spending your whole life playing catch
-up.

I was talking about volleyball.

Just volleyball.

Sure, now I'm a cool little kid.

You know, soccer, piano, track. I'm just
saying, it has to be hard.

Always being second best.

Well, you sure do brag a lot better than
me.

Heck, I already kicked your butt in the
living room. You beat me out by a

minute.

School starts Monday.

Larry, we can't just pick up and move
that fast.

Well, we don't have to. I talked to the
principal today and he agreed to give us

a few weeks to find a place. Really?

There is more to life than volleyball.

Well, yes.

There's careers and a comfortable life
and all the things that start with

getting into a good college.

College? For Pete's sake, Larry, they're
barely even teenagers.

Well, I understand that, Mary, but the
scouts are already out there looking.

The girls have a gift. You can't deny
that.

They have a lot of gifts.

Mary, we made a choice.

I could have gone for the big law firm
and worked a ton of hours and never been

here. I know that. But we made a choice
to be here for them, to make less money

so we could be around more.

So unless you have a rich uncle that I
don't know about, girls are going to

scholarship money.

Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad.

Hey, girls. How was the beach?

Ooh, it was lots of fun. You know, beach
best friends.

Kind of hard to screw that combo up.

I think we got home too soon.

Oh, no, no, no. We were just talking.

Talking? As in, why don't you girls get
out of here and go watch TV or

something?

Actually, no.

This concerns you.

Sit down.

Heidi, Heather, you girls are different.

Dad, we already had this talk with Mom.

Yeah. No.

I mean, you're tall.

You're just noticing that.

And you're athletic, like your mother.

You've been given a special gift.

And your mom and I want to make sure
that you take full advantage of that.

So, we're transferring you to a new high
school.

What? What's Palos Verdes High School?
It's a really great school with a super

sports program, the kind that gets you
noticed by college scouts.

Just so we can play a stupid sport?

This is like a joke, right?

Heidi, I know that college seems like
it's a lifetime away, but it's not. I

mean, Dad, what are we supposed to tell
our friends?

You know, girls with half your
ability... We're switching schools

.E. is better?

We don't have the money to send you both
to college. Dad, you can't do this to

us! If you'll just listen to me for a
second... Larry, Heidi, sweetheart. Mom,

Heather can do what she wants, but I'm
not going, and you can't make me.

Heather, sweetheart, you want to talk
about this? It's okay, Mom.

Dad's just doing what he thinks is best.

I am going to go talk to Heidi, and I
want you to talk to Heather.

You heard her. I think she's fine with
it.

Sometimes it amazes me at how little you
know them.

Hey. Hi.

Hey.

Come on, Heidi.

You won't be late for your first day.

I can't believe he's making you go to
another school.

What'd you do?

Nothing. Just this whole stupid
scholarship thing.

Look, I'll call you tonight, okay?

Hey, we'll still hang out on weekends
and stuff.

I mean, we'll still be friends, right?

Yeah, sure.

All right, you want me to come in with
you, help you get settled?

No.

I'm glad you've done enough, really.

All right.

Look, it's going to be fine, I promise.

Have a good day.

I wonder how you get to that carpool.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it
doesn't top it on the other end.

Here we go.

So many choices.

What do you think? Spanish or Italian
for my foreign language?

I don't know. Let's just go.

I do like pizza.

Make it...

Oh, it's Italian.

Unbelievable.

We never had any of this stuff at our
other school.

Yeah, we never had people stare at us
like we were aliens.

Either.

We're tall.

We're twins.

We're new. They'll get over it. I mean,
at least they're noticing us. You sure

got Will in a hurry.

I thought you didn't want to change
schools.

This isn't a school. It's like a whole
mini -mall of student activities.

I mean, fencing club, art club, fashion
club.

I mean, how does anybody ever choose?

Here's a hint. You're here to play
volleyball.

Yeah, in the spring.

That's when the season starts, so we can
work out until then.

Mmm, correction.

If you can work out until then, I'm
going to have fun. And it wouldn't kill

to do the same.

clubs over there carving up worms.

They're all set up for surgery.

I'm Zoe, president of the Jump Club. And
you are?

Frightenly tall.

Yes, but I go by Heidi.

Sorry, my mouth's an early riser, but my
brain sleeps in.

You know, normally I pressure you to
join our club, but one, I'm exhausted,

two, well, I'm figuring the prom
committee probably already snatched you

they're always looking for somebody like
you to hang the really high

decorations.

I was thinking about going up for drama
in my other school. Oh, really?

Yeah. When do I sign up?

Oh, right now.

Great. My first recruit.

Okay. Do you have any experience?

Um, a little singing at the beach.

And then there was that whole film
thing. You know, Attack of the 50 -Foot

Woman.

You were in a real movie?

It was a joke.

Oh.

Does comedy.

Sort of.

really coach then stop standing around
like statues girls come on let's do it

again this time somebody put some
pressure on her please please nikki take

out 15 years 15 years would it kill you
to send me some reinforcements

come on

How tall are you?

I don't know.

Just off of six feet, I guess.

My sister's just as tall.

There's two of you?

Yeah, my twin.

Thank you, God.

You ever consider playing basketball?

No. I'm a volleyball player.

Sorry I messed up your practice.

You are so cruel.

Excuse me?

Oh, uh, I was just saying...

If you're not doing anything until
volleyball season, maybe you can go out

my basketball team.

I don't know. I haven't played very
much. I'm probably not very good.

That's perfect. You'll fit right in.

I'll tell you what. Just promise me
you'll think about it.

We could really use you.

Okay. I'll ask my dad.

Good. Thanks.

Bye.

All right, girls.

Let's do it again.

No.

Heidi, if you don't hang up, I'm cutting
the phone lines. Now come eat.

I gotta go, Zoe. My dad's, like, having
a duck.

Yeah, but I'll get directions tomorrow.

This is so great. Bye.

You are not going to believe this.

I just got invited to this great party
Friday night.

Don't worry.

It's chaperoned. I think that is
terrific, honey.

Well, maybe you can squeeze in dinner
between now and then.

Feet on the floor.

So. Drama club? A party? Who knew the
adjustment could be so hard?

Don't gloat yet. We still need to find a
place to live.

Oh, we got plenty of time. I thought the
principal said two weeks.

Yeah, two, four, six. It doesn't really
matter. They never check up on those

things anyway.

Until we find a place, the girls will
just have to keep a low profile.

Low profile?

Yeah, right.

I still think we should find someplace
sooner rather than later.

Dad? I stopped by the gym today to get
in a workout after school. Good girl.

Make me a happy man and tell me you went
with her.

Sorry. I was busy having a life.

I met the basketball coach.

He wants me to go out for the team.

I didn't know you were interested in
basketball.

I wasn't. But it looks like so much fun.
And the coach seems really nice.

And it would be over by the time that
volleyball started.

I think that is a fantastic idea.

You do?

Absolutely. I mean, you keep in shape,
you work on your jumping. It's a perfect

tune -up for volleyball.

Good.

Heidi, this is something you should
really think about doing.

How about I think of Heather doing it?

I was going to go out for the fall
musical.

A musical? That's not going to... I
think that's great, honey.

What show?

Wizard of Oz.

Zoe says I'm a lock -in for the tin man.

I think it's because I'm the only one
tall enough to fit the costume.

Well, Heidi, one of these days your
sister is going to be famous, and you

going to be sorry that you didn't put in
the extra work.

And one of these days, I'm going to be
at the Oscars thanking everybody but

Then he'll be sorry.

You are impossible, you know that?

Yes, if you were going to be there. Hey,
check it out.

She's good.

I see Daddy said his little girl could
come out and play.

Yeah, he thinks it'll help keep me in
shape.

I'm Heather.

I don't care if you're Kareem Abdul
-Jabbar.

Just get this straight.

This is my team.

So don't try to make a name for yourself
here.

Lovely little thing, isn't she?

Yeah. Lovely.

This is a great comfort. I've been
holding this axe in the air ever since I

rusted. I might have stood here forever
if you hadn't come along.

How'd you happen to find me here anyway?

We're on our way to Emerald City to see
the great operas.

Okay, has anybody else creeped out by
this?

It's just an audition.

He's a stand -in. Just go with it.

Just make him lose the slippers, okay?

Yeah, you're right. That is kind of
weird, huh?

Girls, let's try this.

Here's the situation.

Ten seconds left.

The other team has the ball and a two
-point lead.

Madison, what are we in?

Big trouble.

I mean, what kind of defense?

Oh, that. Man to man.

Thank you.

Or in this case, woman to woman.

Shutting up, sir.

Heather, you take Nikki, the rest of you
pick up a man, and let's get the ball

back. Let's go, girls. Come on.

Five, four, three.

Time's wasted.

Heather, Heather, Heather.

You can't let her get by you.

You're making it too easy. You got to
cut her off. You got to make her pass

ball, okay?

All right, let's try it again.

Nikki, take it out. Come on, girls.

This is going to be easy.

Yeah, nothing but the hard part,
memorizing a billion lines.

You're going to be great.

Here are the directions to the party.

I've got to get back in there.

But I'll see you tonight, okay? Okay.

Bye.

Stay with her, Heather.

Working inside, Nikki.

Sharp passes, girls.

Stay with her, Sandra.

I think you're going to need this.

Stay with her. Move your feet.

Like taking candy from a baby.

house or a hotel?

I thought a clown for my sixth birthday
was a big deal.

Well, that was mean.

Just drop me around the corner, okay?

I had my driver drop me around the
corner.

Driver?

Impressive.

Chloe,

who lived here as president? Yeah, like
he could afford it.

Nicky Williams, he's here with her dad.
He's some kind of investment guru.

Oh, yeah.

I wonder what it's like to live to face
the fact.

Way out there. I mean, you're talking a
whole nother zip code.

Right. I put it in my new teammates.
Hey, Nikki Williams.

Current occupant and winning saint of
the hardwood.

This is my new friend... Yeah, I know.

Heather. You met.

Oh, no, actually, I'm Heidi.

Heather is my twin sister.

Wait, there's two of you that tall?

What are your parents?

Skyscrapers? So you weren't the one at
trial?

No, um, basketball's not really my
thing.

Yeah, well, it's not your sister either.
She doesn't know it yet.

Great house.

Thanks. I'll tell my dad next time he's
in town.

You mean he lets you have a party when
he's not here?

Actually, my uncle's here.

Sounds like Heidi's got a great tip,
too.

Maybe we can throw a party there.

No.

See, we just moved here, and it'll take
a while to settle down. I mean, you

know, pool guy, decorators, not to
mention the boathouse. I mean, you know

it is with a place like that, right?

Oh, we should front a... Too sweet.

Yeah, way too sweet. So exactly where is
this great crib?

Uh, like she said, uh, oceanfront.

Uh -huh. And does it have an address?

An address.

Yeah, uh, sure. It's 1984 All District.

I mean, you know that, um, that
oceanfront street?

You mean Breezeway Drive?

Right. 1984 Breezeway Drive.

You told them what?

I panicked. I mean, Dad told us to keep
a low profile, remember?

So your idea of a low profile is telling
them that we live in a seaside castle?

Money is a big deal to these people.

I mean, what was I supposed to do? Oh,
I'm Heidi. I live about a billion

south of here.

I wanted them to like me. So you made up
an address, and you said that we have a

driver, and you wore my clothes.

I'm glad they're getting to know the
real you.

I did use my own name.

Do I get partial credit for that?

No. No, I guess not.

I talked to a couple of coaches. They
said you've already committed yourself

Princeton.

They're wrong.

I'm not making any decisions until after
the season.

Tell you what, once you're done
drooling, we'll warm up.

Sorry.

You're forgiven.

Galen Aldrin.

Every college wants him.

Not as bad as every senior girl.

I can see why.

Stopped by your place last night. Didn't
see you there.

Maybe that's because 1984 Breezeway
Drive is a windshield.

You live in a donut shop?

Why can't we do a sleepover?

Yeah, my sister kind of messed up the
address.

Uh -huh.

Sure she did.

Around the world shooting, girls.

Let's go. Let's see some hustle.

Hi.

Hey.

Oh, Heidi.

Oh,

hurry up.

You guys are excited.

One of the guys in the play has this
great boat.

His dad's going to cruise the harbor as
we practice mine.

You want a cup?

Trapped on a boat. People doing munchkin
voices.

I'm going to pass.

You're so blacked about the whole
address thing, aren't you? No, I just

stick around.

Shoot some free throws. You've been
practicing for like two hours.

Don't you ever take a break?

All the other kids have played before.

Gotta catch up.

Come on, Heidi, let's go.

They're waiting on me.

But this whole thing's worked out, us
being here. Don't you think?

I just kind of miss my friends.

You know?

And it's weird.

It's doing so much stuff with her. Yeah,
but even that's cool. I mean, you have

the whole basketball thing.

Yeah. And you've got the play.

And your friends. And for once, nobody's
saying, this is Heidi. Not bad, but

she's no Heather.

I'm still saying that.

Heidi, are you coming or not?

I gotta go.

Not with my sunglasses.

They look better on me.

They look the same, doofus. We're twins.

Oh yeah.

Nice shot.

Oh yeah, what are you making fun of the
old man?

Absolutely. Let's see what you got.

Come on, take it to the old man.

going again tomorrow.

Well, actually, there's been a little
change in plans.

I talked to Heather's coach today.

Okay, so?

So, I told him that you'd be coming out
for the team.

The basketball team?

Yeah.

You did this without asking me?

Heidi, it's really important that you
get yourself noticed by the right

But, Dad, what about the play?

Maybe in a year or so there'll be time
for that, but right now... This is so

unfair!

Heidi, your future's in sports. It's not
some school play.

What's wrong?

Like you don't know.

You put him up to it. Put him up to
what?

Congratulations. I'm back in your
shadow. I hope you're happy.

Heidi, stop. What are you talking about?

Dad's making me go out for the
basketball team, but I'm thinking you

knew that.

Wait, you can't just quit.

Where are we supposed to find another
Tin Man?

I told you, I don't have a choice.

Defense, stand.

I had nothing to do with this. It was
all Dad's idea.

Yeah, right.

Hey, you want to join them? You just
lose the lip. And all of you, start

thinking about teamwork.

Now let's go again.

Nikki, take it out.

care of the ball.

Don't throw it away.

All right, let's do it again. Nikki,
take it out. This time, girls, watch

passes. Black going this way. Come on,
girls.

Where were you? You were supposed to get
that pass.

I don't always know what you're
thinking.

Dad, don't forget I have a game this
afternoon.

I'll do my best to be there.

Good luck.

Nicky, score 50.

is going to get one last chance to show
me something before I make my final cut.

So there's no need to be nervous. Don't
be nervous. Just go out and play and

have fun.

Now, the Red -Black Game is a great
tradition here at PV.

All your friends and your families are
here to watch you, and I know they're

as proud of you as I am.

Okay, let's go. Bring it in here.

Come on.

Now, Sea Kings on three. Ready?

One, two, three. Sea Kings!

In the center for the red team, number
30, Heather Burge.

And jumping at center for the black
team, number 21, her twin sister, Heidi

Burge. Make my pick, sis.

It's going to be a long night for you. I
don't think so. One second best, always

second best.

No, you're neither.

You're a ball hog with a sorry attitude.
Now sit down.

What?

You're out of the game. Sit.

Ashley, check in for Nikki.

Red team, come here. Let's go. Black
team, let's go.

Okay, everybody, now play hard. Play
good defense. Come on.

Teamwork on three. Ready?

One, two, three.

Teamwork!

Nice footwork on the three -pointer.
Maybe you should take a ballet.

Maybe you should check the scoreboard.
You're down by ten.

When is that one?

I trusted you with two weeks, Mr. Burge,
and apparently you felt no interest in

complying with that.

I'm going to send the girls' transcripts
to a school in your district with a

recommendation that they be enrolled
immediately.

If anybody has any questions, have them
give me a call.

Look, Mr. Jensen, I'm sorry.

All right? I blew it.

I should have looked harder.

But please don't penalize my daughters
for my screw -up.

They like it here. They're doing well
here.

Please.

All right.

Find something before the Christmas
holidays or don't come back after the

Mr. Burge, this time I'll be checking up
on you myself.

Count on it.

Well?

See, you make it right at the bowling
alley, and then we're home.

Well, this is it.

Sandy's sore?

Right. We're moving into an infected
wound.

Oh, the H is missing. It's Sandy Shore.

Give it a chance.

It's a lot better inside. Come on in.

Oh, Mom.

Come on, you guys.

You know, the girls haven't spoken to me
since we stopped unloading.

And that surprises you?

Look, I'm going to miss our old house as
much as you are. But we are not going

to be able to find that in this school
district. Not for what we can afford.

I could use a little support here, Mary.

It's not the house.

We could live in a box for all I care,
as long as my family is happy. And

clearly, that is not the case. So if you
want my support, do something about it.

I was only thinking about the girls'
future.

Would you stop with the future for once?

Now, I am always there for them, Mary.
Yes, you are always there for them, as a

coach, as a cheerleader, as all the
things they already have.

They could use a little more father.

So what am I supposed to do, Mary?

Apologize for pointing them in the right
direction?

They have got opportunities here.

They have opportunities that most kids
only dream about.

Maybe it's not their dream.

Maybe it's only yours.

I finished unpacking all my stuff.

There wasn't really room for all of it,
though, so I had to get rid of your bed.

I hope you don't mind.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For lying to Nikki.

Maybe we'd still be in our old house, in
our own rooms.

The school would have found out sooner
or later.

And, um...

Mom told me that you didn't have
anything to do with the basketball thing

either. That it was all Dad's idea.

So, I guess I owe you an apology for
that, too.

You think?

I said I was sorry.

You know, I knew how much you wanted to
be in that play.

And I never would have done anything to
mess that up.

I know that now.

You should have known it then.

I may want to clock you now and again,
but you're still my sister.

Not to mention... my best friend.

Thanks.

I'm gonna go see if Mom needs help in
the kitchen.

I'll play you for it.

For what?

The bed.

You said you got rid of mine, so that
means there's one left.

Oh, like this is fair. Me against Miss
Basketball Star.

Once second best, always second best.

It's not like it's your fault.

Go.

Oh! Unbelievable!

Let's hear it again.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

What is it with that weird foot thing
anyway?

It's my version of the Ali shuffle.

Now you see it, now you get knocked out.

Well, if it isn't the Redondo
Hillbillies.

Surprised to see you're still around.
Get used to it. Be moved.

Oh, well.

There goes the neighborhood.

Don't worry about it. Just work on our
game.

Look, guys, this is bogus.

Teammates don't do this to each other.

I mean, so what if we're not rich like
you guys?

It's got nothing to do with that. You
lied to us.

She means don't do that either.

Sorry. Don't be.

It's play from basketball.

Come on, Mickey. Pass the ball now.

Keep moving.

Get open, Heidi.

Heather, get open. Come on. Look inside,
Madison.

Sharp pass it.

Look inside, Mickey. Come on.

Mickey, what are you doing?

Heidi, you got your team.

Come on, girl.

Let's go.

Teamwork. Pass the ball, Nikki. Come on.

I know you're a good dribbler. Show me
you can pass the ball.

Oh, come on. Madison, what are you doing
out there? Come on. Move the ball.

Heidi, you too.

Heather. Nikki.

Get your hands together.

Everybody, move the ball.

Look down low.

There she is. Come on. Look at her
knees.

Nicky. Nicky.

Nicky, pass it.

Nicky. No.

Nicky.

You're bright, girls. Who can tell me
the definition of that word?

Madison, put your hand down.

But you girls have no idea what it means
to play like a team.

You're playing this stupid game of keep
away from the twins, so naturally

they're ignoring you.

And you, Nikki.

Nikki, you're running around firing off
these wild shots like you're Wiley Earp

in tennis shoes.

Wyatt Earp. His first name is Wyatt.

Wyatt, Wiley, who cares?

You know, I got half a mind to just tear
up that invitation.

What invitation?

We got invited to this big tournament.

What they saw in you guys, I don't know.

But you know what? It doesn't matter. We
would have had to spend Christmas in

New York and... You know, I'll just tell
them no.

We can't make it.

Maybe we ought to think about this.

You know, I can't do this to you girls.
It'd be like throwing you to the lions.

Some of the best teams in the country
will be there, and they will eat you for

dinner if you can't learn to play
together.

willing to learn to play together like a
team?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Let's do this.

All right. Okay, okay. Okay, but here's
the deal. It's not a free ride.

You're going to have to pay some of your
own way.

Are we all in?

Yeah. Not a problem for us.

What about you guys?

Looks like we're going to New York.

50 bucks? That's great, but we're still
$20 short.

I don't know what else to do.

I already said he wasn't going to spot
us anymore.

We've hit up every place in town for
donations.

Hmm.

Maybe not everything.

What are you talking about?

See you on the plane.

I'll wave from first class.

I hope she's not sitting next to you
-know -who.

Oh, oh, she's gotta be. I mean, there's
only like eight seats up there. What?

That poor lady.

up with something.

Yeah, apparently it's like super
contagious.

We heard you talk to the agent, but
don't worry. If you get it, there's a

for everything these days.

Have a nice flight.

A shot?

I hate shots.

All right, that's it. I'm cashing this
baby in for coach.

Our new champions, the Crusaders from
St.

Lazarus Academy.

Chins up.

We've got a lot of good teams this week.

We just didn't have enough to win at
all.

We've played good, but I know you can
play better.

Come on now.

Hey, I'm proud of all of you.

Coach?

Congratulations. Thank you. The team
played their hearts out, and we look

forward to seeing them here in the
future. Thank you. And for the first

the history of the tournament, the most
valuable player award goes to a player

not on the winning team.

Congratulations, Heather.

Good job, Heather.

was here. My mom is as freaked out about
theater as me.

You know, you really ought to see this
while you're here. It's awesome.

Oh, I wish.

We're leaving for the airport, though,
in a minute. We just have to get some

food. Oh.

You know, the play turned out okay.

Lizard of Oz.

Other than the fact that the Tin Man
costume swallowed Marvin.

Oh, I should get going, though. The bus
is waiting.

Yeah. Okay.

Bye. See ya. Oh, Heidi!

There's going to be an awesome drama
camp this summer. You ought to think

it. You're really good.

Where's my dad?

Oh, he's still in Chicago.

But he asked me to tell you that he sure
is sorry he couldn't be here.

I'll go get your bags and be right back.

which ones they are. We'll just be a
second.

Okay, before we run off and do our
little Girl Scout goody to the day, can

remind you of something?

What? She turned us in.

So? So she's not exactly on my Christmas
list.

Okay, I like you a lot better when you
didn't show your soft side.

Hey.

What's the deal with your dad?

Just leave me alone, okay?

We can do that.

See? I told you it was a waste of time.

Merry Christmas, Nikki.

It's in Chicago.

In business.

Surprise, surprise.

Is there another Christmas?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

Look, I'm the one that should be saying
that.

I've been riding you guys pretty hard.

I guess it just got a little crazy when
I wasn't the star of the team anymore.

You know, we know this place that serves
a late -night Christmas dinner. Want to

join us?

I don't know.

Ready, Richard?

Beats going home to an empty mansion.

You want to take the limo?

It's paid for.

Cool.

Now, what are these things?

Dad's infamous bacon, bean, and cheese
sandwiches.

They're all the new tradition.

Yeah, I told you the food was awful.

Okay, don't even ask me for the recipe,
because I'm taking it with me to the

grave. Where it belongs.

Okay, who's ready for another one?

Sorry, Dad.

Big stretch run.

Second half of the season.

Yeah. Don't want to get too beefy.

That night, say we work off dinner with
some food.

It's one o 'clock in the morning. Which
shows what committed players we are.

Yeah. Committed to not barfing.

Well, what do you think? You want to
play in the kitchen?

Okay.

Maybe they ate on the plane.

Yeah, maybe.

Yeah. You go, girl. You guys are
unbelievably lucky to live here, you

Yeah. Why would we want to live in a
palace like yours when we've got this

garden spot?

Because we've got a mom who cares and a
dad who's more interested in you.

Then it don't pay.

Uh, you're catching him on a good day.

Hey, we can talk trade anytime.

Oh, come on. Your dad can't be that bad.

Well, you're probably right.

I don't see him enough to know for sure.

Ouch.

I don't know.

I just thought that maybe if I was the
best on the team, you might want to

around for him, you know?

Yeah.

A star of a crummy high school team. No
wonder he doesn't give a rip.

I wouldn't say we're crummy.

You live here? And

sleep here when people aren't keeping me
awake.

Merry Christmas, Josh. That's it, I'm
moving in.

Don't tell anyone.

I borrowed this from the sign out front.

I'm serious, Missy H.

You guys just finished the tournament,
right?

Yeah.

We lost in the finals.

Not surprised.

I've seen some of your games.

You guys don't play much like a team.

You sound like our coach.

Well, we're getting along a lot better
now.

Yeah, well, I can give you some pointers
if you want.

We don't want to keep you awake.

The heck we don't.

Well, I'm up now.

For starters...

You got to knock off the screwy shots,
Nikki.

You're a passer like Magic Johnson.

Magic.

I like that.

Okay.

I'm going to set up here.

You guys, what's up with this freaky
twin thing?

What freaky twin thing?

You know like where one of you passes
the ball in the middle of nowhere and

all of a sudden the other one shows up?

I think it's pretty cool.

All right, Heather.

You're going to set up underneath.

And you're going to set up here.

Here?

No, no, no, no, no.

Here.

I'm sorry.

Here?

No.

Here.

Three passes, then you can shoot.

Okay.

Here we go.

Okay.

Bob, Heidi, Bob.

Ah! Oh!

What?

It's done.

Heidi, you're going to take the free
throws.

Me? Now listen. After Heidi makes the
free throws, we get the ball back.

Now, Mickey, you take it out.

Inbound it to Heidi.

Heidi, you hang on to that ball. Two
seconds. Just two seconds. Make them

you. You understand?

Yeah. Okay, good. Come on, girls. Get in
here.

Okay, Seeking's on three. Ready?

One, two, three.

You got a hot hand. So go back in the
bleachers and cool down. Go sit down.

Look, I know 10 big time programs that
are sending people to the finals

expecting to see my daughters in
uniform.

Do not blow this.

this for two hours.

Galen, give me the ball.

This is crazy. You're gonna wear
yourself out before the finals.

Nobody's making you stay. Would you
listen to me for a second? Just play.

I've got to get you upstairs. It's
already swelling.

Help me get her up. Come on.

How you feeling?

Stupid. No, I meant the ankle.

You know, you played a good game.

Not good enough.

The scoreboard said you won.

Unless you're keeping score a different
way.

Are you?

It's not fair, Mom.

Basketball was supposed to be my thing.

So she had a better night.

Now, I'm not sure that's true, honey,
but even if it were, there is always

to be someone better, whether it's Heidi
or somebody else.

For me, it was Emily Naibo.

I swam against her at the Nationals.

All year long, I was the best in my
conference, and she was the best in

That day, we were going to find out who
was the best in the country.

And?

And...

She beat me by about 103 yards.

I was really disappointed, but it didn't
mean I wasn't good. And even though I

didn't win, I still loved to swim.

Do you like to play basketball?

Yeah. I love it. It's blessed.

And play for that reason.

Not because you think you need to be
better than your sister or because you

to live up to what your father wants you
to do.

Play. Because you love it.

But you quit.

If you love swimming so much, how come
you stopped?

Because I found something I love more.

Being a mom.

I love you.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
Arlington Arena.

This is the first time we've taken off
of how it's running CK.

Now the question on everyone's mind is
how will how it's running match up with

our first center and star player,
Heather Burge.

Heather is sideline with an ankle
injury. She's got to be a crushing blow

CK. And we're not really sure what
adjustments Coach Ishii has actually

take on this powerful face of the
offense.

Check that out. Coach is talking about.

Too bad they're not going to get to see
you play.

Knock it off.

I already feel bad enough for letting
your team down.

You're just going to have to carry us
this time.

You can do it.

So get out there.

You got it.

And 61, she's a question.

Number 21.

Get ready to jump.

Ball's up in the air.

They're doing a good job of shutting
down Heidi. They're coming across a weak

side double, so that means that somebody
has to be open.

Now you girls are going to have to step
up and get your open shot.

Jesse finally showed up.

Told you he'd be hanging out with his
scout.

That's my dad.

We'll need another foul shooter, but
that means she's out.

Okay.

What do you think, Nick?

I don't know.

Can you stay in?

I can do it.

You'll find a one -armed player.

Coach, throw as long as you can.

What are you talking about?

Heather, where are you going?

This is what we're going to do.

After Nikki makes the free throw, we've
still got to get the ball back. We've

got to force a turnover.

Then it's all quick timeout. Okay?
Everybody clear?

Yeah.

Good. Let's go.

Seachings on three. Ready?

One, two.

Played your hearts out. Heidi, fuck. All
I'm asking for.

Don't worry about her. She can't hurt
us.

What do you think you're doing?

Everybody in the building knows they're
getting you the ball for the last shot.

They're going to have defenders all over
you.

Put me in, coach.

It's a good idea, but you can't even
walk, let alone put up a jump shot. I

have to shoot. I'll be a decoy.

Maybe I can even pull a few defenders
off Heidi.

You know what?

This is my work.

All right, listen up. This is what we're
going to do.

Okay.

Madison, you inbound the ball.

You get it to Nikki. Nikki, you work it
around to Heather at the high post.

Now, Heather, if they come out and guard
you, you hit the open play.

But if they don't, you're going to have
to take the shot.

Okay?

Now, come on, girls. We can do this.
Let's win this thing.

Let's go.

Come on. Now, on three. Ready?

One, two, three.

have enough momentum to take this ball
game.

And it's Madison Strickland inbounds to
Nikki Williams.

Ever seems content to just hang on to
the ball.

I am so incredibly proud of you. We both
are. Thanks.

You did it, Dad.

You did it. You were great, honey.

Thanks. Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

What turned him around?

I don't know.

But I owe both of you an apology.

Heather, I shouldn't have put so much
pressure on you.

And Heidi, I shouldn't have made you go
out for the team.

You're right.

But we're glad you did.

Let's go home and order a pizza.

Mr. Burge, I'm just curious.

Who do you think is the money player
now?

Well, it looks like I've got two money
players here.

I'm sorry I got so hot -headed before.

I'll tell you what. Just don't move
until they graduate and we'll call it

okay? That's a deal.

Hey, you ought to think about getting
them into some basketball camps this

summer. Your girls have a big future.

Oh, yeah. We're going to play college
ball.

Maybe more.

There's talk of a woman's pro league.

A pro league?

Dad!

Okay, there's plenty of time to think
about the future later.

Tonight we're going to celebrate.

Yeah!

Besides,

Heidi, I think you've already got plans
for the summer, don't you?

I do.

Yeah, something about a drama camp?

You know anything about that?

It's going to be a long night for you. I
don't think so. Once second best,

always second best.
