What else can we
do in St. Louis

besides ride Clydesdales
down the Gateway Arch?

I don't know, but
I'm pretty sure

you can't do that.

If you loved me,
you'd make it happen.

Ugh, yeah. OK.

And you're definitely
getting drafted

by St. Louis tomorrow?

Whoa, whoa. There
is nothing definite,

OK, but they are the only team

in the top 5 looking
for a receiver.

I mean, isn't it kind of weird

that your reward
for being a top pick

is playing for the worst team?

They are not the worst team,

and technically, the reward

is all the money they pay you,

betting on you to be the
face of the team someday.

What, like their mascot?

Super Spencer.

Your power would
be trying to solve

the problems of everyone there.

No. No.

Apparently, my
power is thick skin

'cause, damn, you mean, man.

Uhh... I almost don't want you

to have your gift.

Oh, you are really,
really leaning into

the spontaneous-gift line
item on our bucket list.

Me likey. I'm ready.

Actually, this is for
your book coming up.

You deserve all your flowers,

but that's not what this is.

Is it a Clydesdale?

No. I'm just really,
really happy you're here.

Oh, you're disgusting.

♪ Let's just fantasise ♪

♪ Moon drops in your eyes... ♪

It's beautiful.

So are you.

Clearly, I got good taste.

Man: ♪ Moon drops
in your eyes... ♪

Thank you.

All right. I should get going.

I got to meet my mom and Dillon,

and then I got all these
pre-draft events, so...

Wha... no.

Can't we just stay here

for, like, a little bit longer?

I mean, as soon as we get up,

our whole world is
gonna go crazy...

I mean, your draft,

Jordan and Layla's wedding.

- Your book release.
- That, too.

We may not get another
quiet moment like this

for a while.

We might as well enjoy it.

Hmm. Mm.

A few more minutes can't hurt.

Man: ♪ Are you
down to be down? ♪

♪ I need you to speak up ♪

♪ If you're
feeling it now... ♪

Mm. I could get used to this.

Man: ♪ You got dreams ♪

Mm. These are nice.

Dillon: Ooh. Oh, are
they really giving us

all this stuff for free?

They're giving it to me

to show off on the red carpet.

You get the scraps.

Yeah. Fine.

You need all the help
you can get anyway, OK?

Me, on the other hand,

I just need this necklace, ah,

and that one, ooh,
and these rings, too.

Dillon, show some restraint.

Come on, Ma.

It's only two days before
Layla says "I do," OK?

I need to make every pic count.

[Camera shutter clicks] Yeah.

- Ha ha ha!
- Oh, come on.

Y'all know that she cannot
resist all this drip.

You have any more drip,
you'll be a puddle.

Hmm.

Mom...

Spencer, dap your mother.

- OK.
- Thank you.

I am so proud of
you, both of you.

Sometimes I wish I
failed as a mother.

That way, you'd
never leave home,

but I had to raise
two amazing men

who no longer need me.

Come on, Ma.

Dillon's still in school.

You got plenty of
time to mess him up.

- Ha ha. My money's on you.
- Shut up.

Ha ha ha!

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too,

but I got you something,

so you can visit
whenever you want.

What do you think?

- They got you this, too?
- No.

No. This... this I
bought... for you.

Now wherever I go,

I'ma be just a drive away.

What if you go to Florida?

Then she'll drive there.

Grace: Spencer,
I can't take it.

How can you afford it?

You haven't even
been drafted yet.

I had some NIL money

burning a hole in my savings.

But don't worry.

In a few days, it's gonna be

right back there and then some.

Come on.

How often do I get
to spoil my moms?

You deserve it.

I'm not saying I
don't deserve it.

Thank you, Spencer. I love it.

Yeah. Thanks, Spence...

for making every gift

that I've ever given
Mom look like crap.

You're welcome.

- You want to take it for a spin?
- Yes!

Woman: ♪ People ♪

♪ It doesn't matter

Aah!

♪ For me... ♪

♪ I'm OK ♪

♪ Today ♪

♪ Had my day, had my day... ♪

Laura: Ohh. It's perfect.

Your dad would be
so proud of you.

I am so proud of you.

Thanks, Mom.

OK. Hey, what's going on?

Mom's proud of me.

Ah, must be going around.

She was all huggy-proud of me

about the wedding earlier.

I didn't get any tears, though.

Well, it's my first book
and your second wedding.

Well, two more than you.

"The top of the slide
just seemed so high.

He couldn't move.
He could only cry."

OK. Hold on a second.

You actually put this in?

What? It's just
so relatable...

scared little boy,

you know, teased by everybody.

OK. It was one kid,
and I popped him, OK?

I go down the slide,
though, right?

I don't know.

You'll have to read it or
wait for the next book.

Laura: Look. She's
doing a whole series.

"Coach Billy and
the Big Bad Bully."

Oh, I better not be
in that one, Olivia.

Not everything's
about you, Jordan,

but, yeah, you're in it.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Of course, the series depends

on people liking the
first book, so...

Laura: How could
they not? I love it.

"Coach Billy promised
it would be OK.

They would try
again another day."

I don't know.

Well, I hope everyone's
as generous as my mom.

I mean, self-publishing

was easy, self-selling
not so much,

but my old publisher's
assistant, Nikki,

is arranging a book signing

this afternoon, so...

Oh, that's great.

Isn't that great, Jordan?

That's great.

That's so great, but I seriously

don't go down the slide?

I'm having a hard
time finding it.

Coach Edison, may I...

Good talk, Coach.

Yo, Ash.

Hi.

Oh, good to see a familiar face

is still on the staff.

Ah, you might be the
only one that thinks so,

if I'm even still on the staff.

Wait. Coach Edison fired you?

No. But he didn't officially

hire me, either.

Offensive assistant is a job

Montes created for me.

I mean, it wouldn't be
the same here without you.

Now, who would've
thought a white dude

from Beverly Hills
would remind me

so much of home?

I mean, you, Spence,
and Coach Baker...

all y'all got me here,

showed me what can happen
if I believe in myself

and I put in that work.

Hey, look, I got to run.

You know how Coach
gets about practice.

Heh heh. No, I don't.

Aria Lanelle: ♪ Our
favourite song is on ♪

♪ 'Bout being
close enough... ♪

Hey, you're supposed
to dip me now.

OK. Um, hear me out.

Instead of a dip, what if we did

something like this, right?

Like, you fling me into this,

and I kind of come up here

and blow myself up.

I saw it on TikTok.

It's called the, uh, dump truck.

- And you really drop.
- OK. Babe, babe, babe?

Never do that again, OK?

- Fine. Fine, fine, fine. Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Boring, boring dip it is,

and here we...

Lanelle: ♪ Then a wink
of love between... ♪

OK. Um, maybe just,
like, a quick dip

because we need to
keep this dance PG.

Yeah. I mean, how about...

how about PG-13, right?

I mean, some scenes not
suitable for children,

or I could just go
full-on "Magic Mike."

Oh, well, not unless you want me

to object to my own wedding.

[Snickers]

So once we get this down...

Mm-hmm?

That's it, nothing else to do

but get married.

Well, there's still
the seating chart,

and, um, Liv is now
my maid of honour,

so you should probably
pick a best man.

Oh, oh, oh, wait a second.

- Hmm?
- Hold on.

Um, I thought that we
weren't doing that,

and I think the
reason that I thought

that we weren't doing that is

because you said
that we weren't.

Oh, right.

Oh, I'm doing the dump truck.

No, no, no, Jor. I
didn't even ask her.

I didn't even ask her.
She just told me, OK?

You try saying no
to your sister.

I have. It... um, never works,

never, never works,
but come on, Layla.

What am I supposed to do?

I... I have been best
friends with Asher

since grade school,
and... and... and...

and Spencer is like
a brother to me.

I know. I'm sorry.

It's all right.
I'll figure it out.

It's just, you're lucky.

You barely have any friends.

[Laughs]

Lanelle: ♪ Mm mm mm ♪

♪ You're the one ♪

Man: ♪ You ain't
gotta say much... ♪

New car?

Yeah. Yeah, for my moms.

Nice, nice.

My mom's last birthday,
I got her a robe.

Then I guess you better
step your game up.

Speaking of, this is for you.

It's a little something
to say thank you.

Wow. This, uh...

this isn't exactly
a little something.

OK, a medium something, then.

[Chuckles]

You don't like it?

Of course I like it, man.

This is... it's nicer
than my apartment,

but you think it's smart to be

spending money you
don't have yet?

Relax. Y'all
acting like I went

to a loan shark or something.

I just took a little
from my savings.

That's all. Look.

I can take the watch
back if you want.

Uh, it's not that I
don't appreciate it,

all right, but it's my job

to look out for you,
and I'd just hate

for you to get so close
to the finish line

just to trip up at the end.

Ain't nothing stopping
me from crossing

that finish line,
but I hear you.

- I hear you.
- Good. Now get ready.

We got a packed schedule.

First up, we got a
bunch of kids coming

to meet the great Spencer James.

Let's do it. All right.

Draft week has begun.

Olivia: Oh, that's nice.

Oh, nice. Yeah.
That's perfect.

Oh, no. That looks great...

Layla, do you remember
the first time

my mom tried to style my hair...

Oh...

and she had no idea

what to do with my curls,

and then she called
your mom in a panic?

I had never heard my
mom laugh so hard.

I thought she was
gonna pass out.

No. It wasn't funny.

I thought my mom was
gonna shave my head

before your mom showed up.

Wait. That's, like,
the first time

that our moms really
hung out together.

I know.

[Inhales]

I almost forgot to
congratulate you.

How goes the great
Billy Baker book launch?

Well, I'll find
out at the signing.

I'm actually... I don't know.

I'm kind of nervous.

I mean, what if nobody shows?

Well, I know at least one
person who's gonna show up.

I mean, how could I
not support my sister?

Oh, my God. That's
the first time

you called me that.

Well, we're gonna be
sisters, like, for real.

Well, I mean, that's
the real reason

why you're marrying
Jordan, isn't it?

Yeah, maybe. OK. You
say it to me now.

- OK, OK, OK.
- OK.

What's up, sis?

[Both scream and laugh]

- What's up?
- Hey, what's up?

And who's your favourite player?

Spencer James.

Good answer. Good answer.

Coop: That ball
is marked, too.

I don't want to see
it for sale online.

Ha ha ha!

You know you ain't
got to be here, right?

Please. I've been waiting on
this moment my whole life.

I'm gonna enjoy every minute.

Besides, what type
of manager would I be

if I wasn't here?

We'll talk.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, yo, Miles!

All right. My man.

Spencer, would've
said hi earlier,

but I didn't want to cut in
front of all of your fans.

No. You good.

Coop, this is Miles.

What's up, man? How are you?

Receiver from Sacramento.

We met him at the
combine in Indianapolis.

Spence, can I talk
with you a second?

Yeah. Good to see you, boy.

All right.

Eric: You, uh, think
it's a good idea

to be schmoozing right now?

I can't talk to my friends?

Uh, he's not your friend.

He's your competition, OK?

Let's just focus on the kids.

We only got another
half-hour here

before the press conference.

OK. Well, I ain't worried
about the competition,

but whatever you say.

Oh, before I forget,

I'm gonna need to pass
on that corporate lunch.

I got Liv's book signing.

I, uh... I need you to
stick to the schedule.

It's important.

So's Liv.

There are cameras and
owners everywhere, OK?

It's not gonna look good
if you're not there.

OK, so figure something out.

I'm not missing Liv's
book signing, bro.

[Exhales]

Look.

I've known Spence my
entire life, all right?

You keep riding him,

it's not gonna turn
out well for you.

All it takes is for him
to drop in the draft

is one of these owners
thinking he doesn't care,

and the difference between picks

is literally
millions of dollars.

I don't know how to make
that any more clear.

Well, you just made
it a million times

more clear for me, so listen.

He's not gonna skip
out on Liv, all right,

but I will make sure
he's on his game

for everything else.

Deal?

Jaymee: Here you go.

You're gonna have to settle

for just having lunch with me.

A.J. was cranky,

so I had to put
him down for a nap.

Oh, I am, too. Maybe
I should join him.

Oh, no. Things
not going so great

with the new coach?

No, not really.

I mean, he almost
kind of noticed me

this morning, which is
progress, I guess, but...

Then make him notice you,

like you did with me.

When we first met, I wanted

nothing to do with you,
and you won me over.

Remind me how I did that again.

You fought for me and showed me

just how amazing you truly are,

and something else
that you probably

shouldn't do with your coach...

Good call.

But you've been there
longer than him,

and you know the team better.

Make him see that.

Show him why Montes hired
you in the first place.

OK.

Man: ♪ They gon' remember it ♪

♪ How I came out
of the deficit... ♪

All right. Thanks for coming.

A'ight, bro.

Could you make it out "To
the best QB in the game"?

Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

- "Wade..."
- OK.

- "Waters."
- Nice.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, man, big day's coming up.

Yeah.

You and Layla excited?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
you know, still got

a few loose ends to tie up,

stuff to do, things to decide,

uh, but how are you?

How are you?

Oh, busy.

They got something planned

for every second of the day.

I can't even use the bathroom

without checking
with my agent, bro.

Damn. Didn't realise they had
you running around like that.

Yeah.

Probably means that
you're, you know,

too busy to, um...

What? I always got
time for you, bro.

What's up? What you need?

Nothing.

Nothing. Just wanted
to come check in

on my... my best, uh,
good friend Spencer,

you know?

You all packed for St. Louis?

Man, I have packed for
every season they got.

Mm-hmm.

I'm just excited to go

wherever they want me, you know?

It is kind of weird not knowing

where I'm about to
be living, right?

Mm.

Speaking of, is
Layla gonna be living

in the beach house or what?

Because we should
probably deep-clean that.

Yeah. Um, yeah. We haven't...

we actually haven't
talked about it.

Ever since the, uh...
the venue opened up,

everything just
happened really quick.

I haven't even thought
about what comes after,

actually.

I guess it'll be a
surprise to both of us.

Yeah. Heh. It's...

You a'ight?

Never better.

[Knock on door]

Coach Edison,

I'd like to officially
introduce myself.

Asher Adams.

Coach Montes hired me as
his offensive assistant.

This isn't really the best time.

I get that you're busy.

You got a new team to coach,

players to learn,

each with a different skill set.

Exactly, so you should
understand that I...

The whole point of
my position, sir,

was to make the
coaches' lives easier.

Nobody knows this
team like I do.

That's why I put this
together for you.

It's a list of every player,

their strengths, weaknesses,

ways they can improve.

I even jotted down

some of our most effective plays

and a few other things
you might find useful.

You did all that?

I'm willing to do more.

Just give me a chance.

Yeah. I'll take a look.

Nice to meet you, Asher.

Nice to meet you, Coach.

[Inhales]

Hey, uh, Moms is running late,

but she'll be here in 5.

Tell her not to bother.

This is embarrassing
enough already.

Try fumbling away a big game

in front of thousands
of angry fans.

Yeah. Well, at
least you have fans,

ones that aren't friends
and family anyway.

Did I make a huge mistake

walking away from my book deal?

Maybe I should add his
affair to this book.

Good thing it ain't
a pop-up book.

Coop: Liv is spitting some
mad Coach Billy bars in here.

She said, "She climbed right
up on top of Billy's lap.

She gave him a smile.
He gave her a dap."

I know. It's the cutest book.

Why aren't there
more people here?

I literally texted
everyone I know.

Uh, aren't we everyone you know?

Spencer: Your friend
Nikki set this up, right?

- You talk to her?
- Yeah.

She finally texted back,

said, "Not to worry.
These things take time."

That's not the worst advice.

Asher: Is it over?

Oh. Uh, shut up, Asher.

My God, this is like that dream

where you're naked
in high school,

only I want to be in that dream

because this is so much worse.

Hey, you have got to
give yourself a break.

Your book just came out.

You can't whip up a
crowd just like that.

[Indistinct conversation]

Olivia: What is going on?

Eric, what are you doing, bro?

You told me to figure
something out, so I did.

These guys are gonna get
some shots of you holding up

a copy of your old
coach and mentor's book.

You can talk about how
much he meant to you,

the positive impact he made.

It's perfect, OK?

Ma'am, could we borrow your kid?

Hey, man, come on.

Here we go.

Stand right here.

[Camera shutters clicking]

Spencer: I'm so sorry, Liv.

I swear, nothing like that
will even happen again.

Hey, at least people showed up.

One guy even asked if I
was a fan of your book.

Coop: Hey, look.

Um, sorry to interrupt,
but we got to go.

Eric said you're already
late for the next event.

No. I don't care.

I ain't trying to hear
anything Eric's got to say.

OK.

You should go.

I'm fine, really.

[Kiss]

- I love you.
- I love you.

Eric: Yo, we need to hurry.

Players' photo
session's in 10 minutes.

You want to tell
me what that was?

It's good publicity,
Spencer, pure and simple.

I was trying to make up
for the event you missed.

That looked bad, but now
every team owner knows

you're supporting your
girlfriend and former coach.

It looks good.

I don't care how it looks.

That was Olivia's moment,
and you took it from her.

I'm sorry, OK? I just...

I've heard too
many horror stories

of D1 athletes
blowing their dreams

by doing one stupid thing,

and I'm not gonna let
you be one of them,

not on my watch.

Then maybe it shouldn't
be your watch anymore.

Now, I've done everything
you asked of me, man,

including playing
nice at the combine.

At this point, my record
should speak for itself.

I am finally here,

and I need you to back off.

I'll find my own ride.

Jordan: Yo, listen, man.

I just want to say thank
you for showing up.

I know how tough it is for
you to get out of work,

but it means a lot to Liv.

You kidding? Dude,
I wouldn't miss it.

You guys are family.

Yeah. How's, um...
how's work going?

Is the new coach cool or...?

Eh, pretty sure he
thinks my job is a joke,

but I'm about to find out.

All right.

Well, if he does, then
homie's an idiot, OK?

OK, I mean, you helped bring
home a championship, bro,

and it could've been two
if you hadn't come up

against the greatest
team in NCAA history

and their handsome QB.

Oh, OK. I don't know.

I... I scored pretty easily
against that great team,

and I have a bad heart.

No. No. You're all heart, Ash,

and if this new coach
doesn't see that,

then find one who does.

- I appreciate you...
- Mm-hmm.

But I really can't
afford to quit.

Little man is cute,
but he isn't cheap,

and now it's about diapers
and health insurance.

Mm-hmm.

Your priorities change really
quick once you have a kid.

You and Layla are gonna
find that out at some point.

Tsk.

You don't want kids?

No. I do. I just...

I have no idea if
Layla wants them.

You know, she... she
grew up an only child

with a tough parental situation.

What if she doesn't
want kids, Ash?

That's... We've never
even talked about it.

Well, Jaymee and I
hadn't, either, so...

Olivia: You know, usually,
I'm against burning books,

but you got a match?

It's not your fault, OK?

Nikki should've set
up a press release,

scheduled interviews.

I mean, the only reason
I knew about this

is because you told me.

Well, I mean, she's
working for free,

so I can't really complain.

I'll work for free.

Let me set stuff up for you.

Layla, I'm your maid of honour.

I should be helping you,

and, honestly, I...
I don't even want

to talk about it anymore.

I just want to go home

and forget this
day even happened.

[Knock on door]

Coach Edison.

Thank you, Coach.

I'll show myself out.

[Door closes]

Hey, oh, perfect timing.

Is your mom left-
or right-handed?

Right-handed. Why?

Seating chart.

If she's left-handed
and we seat her

next to somebody
who's right-handed,

then they'll be bumping
elbows while they eat.

- Yeah.
- The horror.

Am I overthinking?

- Little bit.
- Mm-hmm.

Little bit, but now
that you mention it,

um, have you thought about
where we're gonna live

after the wedding?

I mean, we could
always move in here,

but this place is starting
to feel like a hostel,

and the beach house
will be empty,

but it will need a deep clean...

Mm-hmm.

Deep, deep clean.

I mean, we could also just
always get our own place.

Right. Jordan, the
wedding is tomorrow, OK?

- Can we just...
- Seating chart.

- Yes.
- Right. Go.

OK, umm, so should I put

Asher and Jaymee at
the end of the table?

That way, they can get
up if A.J.'s being fussy.

What do you think?

Look at you, thinking
about Baby A.J.

Does this mean that
you've, you know,

thought about having
kids of your own or...?

What, like... like right now?

Uh, just in general,
just in general.

You know, for instance,
I love hanging out

with Baby A.J...
I really do...

but I also love whenever
they take him back.

I do think about a little you

and a little me running around,

and then I remember
how my parents

wouldn't even let
me have a puppy...

Mm-hmm.

Probably due to me accidentally

killing Olivia's goldfish.

Yeah. I remember.

You dumped the whole can
of fish food into the tank.

OK. Well, a pinch
just seemed mean.

OK, babe.

Can we reminisce
about Goldie Prawn

any other time, OK?

I really need to
get through this.

Right. Yes. Of course.

How can I help you?
How can I help?

Well, you can pick
your best man.

That way, I know who
is seated next to Liv.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Spencer James! Today
is the day, baby.

We're about to be
big time. What's up?

Oh, you already big time.

I'm just trying to catch up.

True, but after
that signing bonus,

we gonna be on another level.

You hear me?

There's a lot of "we's"
I'm hearing right there.

You're damn right it is.

I got plans for us, man.

Look. First, I
think we should...

we should each have our
own place, all right,

close to each other
but not too close.

Oh, so I'm buying
you a house now?

Ain't got to be no mansion,

but put me up somewhere nice.

You know I deserve it.

[Both laugh]

No. For real, though,
I need to talk to you

man to manager.

You're not my manager.

Listen to me, OK?

I know what Eric did
yesterday was messed up,

but you got to cut
him some slack, OK?

Not only are you
his biggest client.

You're his only
client, all right?

He's your Jerry Maguire.

You got to help him help you.

Look. It ain't
even about that.

Dude messed with Liv,
turning her book signing

into some lame-ass PR stunt.

- Come on.
- OK.

Well, from where I was sitting,

the signing was
screwed from the jump.

No denying he crossed
the line, all right,

but, if anything,

dude is just trying
way too hard.

Is that such a bad thing?

Normally, no, but...

But nothing. Look.

We trying to make it to the NFL,

and we want to get paid
as much as possible.

I think we all
can agree on that.

That's still a lot of "we's."

It is, because teamwork
makes the dream work.

You got to let him do
his job, all right,

and if you're not gonna
listen to your agent,

listen to your manager.

[Chuckles]

- Good morning.
- Morning.

No, no, no. Spencer
hates the smell of sage.

Yeah. So do inner demons,
negativity, bad energy, OK?

I've spent years in therapy,

so I know a spiral
when I see one.

Please tell me you
haven't just been here,

like, pouting over
your book signing.

I'm not pouting, OK?

I'm reaching out to
publishers for advice...

and pouting

because it was
such an epic fail.

I mean, if you
guys weren't there,

it would've just
been me, the cashier,

and then the weird guy leering

from the "knitting
mysteries" section.

I'm sorry. Did you
write this book

so crowds of people would flock

to get your autograph?

Huh. No. But it
would've been nice

to sell more than one copy.

You didn't write it
for sales, either.

You wrote it to
honour your father.

And you know what Coach Baker

would've said right now?

Yeah. "Stop writing
about your family.

It never ends well."

OK. Clearly, the
sage isn't working.

Um, when my mom died
and my dad disappeared,

your dad stepped up
to take his place,

and when Spencer was
in trouble at Crenshaw,

he moved him here.

I mean, just ask Asher how much

Coach Billy meant to him

or Jabari or any
of the other kids

he coached throughout the years,

but you know that,
and that's why

you chose to tell his
story as a children's book.

Well, he loved helping kids.

I wanted him to be able
to do that forever.

So make it happen,
Liv. You're an artist.

You just need to
find your audience.

[Knock on door]

Hey, J.

- Mm.
- What's up, buddy?

How did it go at work?

Did you find out if Edison
thinks you're a joke?

Heh heh. Oh, he does.

Punchline was finding
my ideas in the trash.

I'm sorry.

Look.

I can... I can put in a
word with Kenny, you know.

Be kind of cool to be
on the same team again.

Thanks, man, but
I doubt anywhere

is gonna invent
a position for me

and put up with my
school schedule.

Mm.

I mean, Coach Montes
was one of a kind.

Yeah.

Well, enough about
my stupid job.

You're about to
be a married man.

Are you excited?

About... about the
wedding? Absolutely. Yes.

For everything that
comes after that,

definitely not.

The, um, consummation?

I mean, I could talk
you through it, but...

I mean... OK.
Bbbl-bbbl-bbbl-blah.

You know, considering,
uh, you know,

your history with Layla, I'm
gonna say definitely not.

Thank you, though.

[Both laugh]

Truthfully, I've always
wanted to get married,

but I never looked
past the "I do,"

and I don't think that
Layla has, either,

and it feels like we're
kind of driving blind,

and... and that terrifies me.

OK. Hold on. Why, all right?

You can't predict the future.

I'm not trying to,
you know, but...

I mean, after tomorrow,
I'm not gonna be sure

of anything.

Except Layla.

For real, yeah.

Jordan, dude,

you have always
been sure about her.

Uh, you remember
in middle school,

those Friday night dances,

you always wanted
to go up and ask her

to dance, but you
were too nervous?

I was... I was
terrified. Ha ha ha!

I was terrified that
she would say no

or that Olivia would
make fun of me or both.

Blah.

And... no, no,
no... you remember

you always used to find a reason

to sit next to her in
Mrs. Peacock's class,

even though I would
always save you

a spot in the back?

You were a bad influence.

Only so many detentions my
parents would let slide.

Then we got to high
school, you know,

and, you know, you dated her.

Honestly, I thought
that you were over her.

I mean, you weren't exactly

a one-woman man back then.

Agh. It all worked out
in the end, you know,

and, you know, you...
you set the bar

low enough for me to look good.

Oh.

Appreciate it.

You're welcome.

Jordan, look, man.

Layla has always
been your end game.

She's your past, your present,

your future.

As long as you're with her,

you're not gonna
be driving blind.

Hmm.

Ash...

will you be my best man?

- Me?
- Mm-hmm.

Sure.

You are one of a kind, also.

Even if that new idiot
coach doesn't see it,

I do.

You've always been there for me.

You've always had my back,

and I believe that
you always will...

past, present, and future...

so what do you say?

I would marry you
after that speech.

[Both laugh]

You mind? I don't want to...

Nah. Go ahead,
man. Do your thing.

All right.

Always finding ways to
make me look better.

I shouldn't have got
so heated yesterday.

- I was just...
- Pissed?

You know, you had
every right to be.

I shouldn't have done that

to you or Olivia.

Sorry.

You were just
looking out for me.

Just know that I
appreciate you, Eric,

and I'm glad we
in this together.

Grace: I feel like Cinderella.

- Hey.
- Ha ha ha!

Guess that make me
Prince Charming.

No, the pumpkin.

Ha ha! Eric, would you mind?

Oh, of course.

All right. Squeeze
in. Say "Draft day."

[Camera shutter clicks]

Olivia: Thank you
for doing this

on such short notice.

You kidding?

You're making Sola
Muse look good.

We rounded up the kids,
Preach opened the school,

and you brought the talent.

That's what I call
community service,

and the kids are so excited

to meet a bona fide
children's book author.

Well, I hope you didn't
hype me up too much.

I mean, what if
they hate the book?

They won't, but they'll

definitely let you
know if they do.

Kids are painfully honest.

OK.

You're great, Liv. Know that,

and the kids are
about to find out.

[Sighs]

Game time.

[Door opens]

[Children cheering]

Hi, guys.

Thank you all for
coming to hear my story.

Um, I want you...

to meet...

Coach Billy.

He helps make children's
dreams come true.

Like a genie?

Yeah, kind of, only he lives

in a track suit
instead of a bottle.

- Spencer James...
- Hey. Hey.

Star receiver and top
prospect from GAU.

Asher: Babe,
look. It's Spence.

Who did you bring
with you today?

This is Moms right here.

Reporter: Well, hello,
Mom. You look stunning.

Can I ask what you're wearing?

Pride mostly.

Jaymee: Ohh, look
how happy they are.

We're watching a
man's dream come true.

Babe...

I don't want to work
at Coastal anymore.

I know that we need the money,

so I'm not gonna quit

until I find something else.

I don't want you there, either.

The coach literally
trashed your ideas.

He better hope that
I never meet him.

We'll be fine.

I just want you to be happy.

I'd settle for appreciated.

I think I know where to start.

Reporter: I know it's
been a tough journey

for you to get here.

Is there anyone who stands out

that helped you along the way?

Well, my moms, of course,

and my brother
Dillon, my agent Eric,

and... my manager Coop...

You heard that, right?

He said my name on national TV.

No, no, no.

He... he called me his manager

on national TV.

I mean, that...
that's got to be

legally binding.

My boy Jordan, the
best QB in the game;

and my girl, my home
away from home... Olivia;

and Coach Baker.

I would not be here today
if he hadn't stepped

into my life when he did,

so today is as much about
him as it is about me.

Much love to you, Coach.

Reporter: Great
talking to you guys.

Good luck in there.

I need a tissue. Anyone else?

Uh, maybe just
bring the whole box.

I promise I'm gonna keep it
together at your wedding.

OK. That's a lie. Ha ha!

Hey, uh, we...
we need to talk.

OK.

Um, I didn't want
to bring this up

because you've been in
such a great headspace

and we're finally on
the same page, but...

Hey, is this about the wedding?

Are you getting cold feet?

Because you can tell me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
my feet are fine, OK?

This is not about
you or the wedding.

This is about the day after

and the day after that

and all the years after that.

We... we haven't really
talked about any of it.

- OK. Yeah. Let's talk.
- Mm-hmm.

Um, I just thought we could wait

until after the
craziness of the draft

and the wedding, but
I guess I was wrong.

Um, I think that we should get

our own place, and
I've been looking

for a while, and
I found something

I think that you're
really gonna love.

You've been thinking
about our future?

Well, somebody has to.

OK.

We're in this together, Jordan.

I've got you, and I do want kids

eventually, but
maybe we just start

with another goldfish first.

Right. Goldfish,
goldfish, goldfish.

- Oh, how about a puppy?
- Oh.

We can... we can call
him Billy Barker.

Oh, and just like that,

you lost any say
with our kids' names.

Puppy Billy Barker.

You know what I
bring to the table.

Obviously, I still
have to graduate,

but nothing will
come between the work

that I put in.

If you give me the chance,

I will bring you
another championship.

Elena, on phone:
Are you finished?

Of course Beverly could use
someone with D1 experience.

Come on home.

Uh, thank you.

Thank you, Coach Montes.

You... you won't regret it.

Elena: Talk soon.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Man, on P.A.: Ladies
and gentlemen,

introducing Pro Football
Commissioner Dan Thomson.

[Applause]

Hello, football
fans, and welcome

to the most exciting event in
the NFL calendar... the draft.

[Cheering and applause]

Just remember that I loved you

before you were
the Spencer James,

OK, when you were
just simply Spencer.

"Simply"? What
happened to special?

Dan: In the next few days,
dreams will come true

for hundreds of young athletes

as they take the next step
in their football journey.

From college campuses
to NFL stadiums,

their dedication, talent,

and hard work have
brought them here.

That's Steve Mathis,

St. Louis' general manager.

[Applause]

Did you see that?

I nodded at him,
and he turned away.

Maybe he just didn't see you.

Dan: So without further
ado, let the drafting begin.

May the future stars of
the NFL shine brightly.

[Applause]

Welcome back to the draft.

St. Louis is up next,
and they have made

no secret about
needing a wide receiver

with their struggling offence.

GAU's dynamic
playmaker Spencer James

could be the perfect fit.

Jordan: Yes, he
would. Yes, he would.

You got this, Spence.

Ooh, this is so exciting.

I'm almost as nervous as I
was when Billy got drafted.

I honestly don't know if my
heart can take another one.

Man on TV: And here
comes the commissioner

with St. Louis' pick.

[Applause]

Remember this moment, baby.

Yes, ma'am.

Dan: With the third pick,

St. Louis selects wide receiver

Miles Bright, Sacramento.

[Applause]

[Cell phone vibrates]

the people of the world ♪

♪ As they've always longed
to live in meritocracy... ♪

Coop: What the
hell just happened?

Rakei: ♪ And the
leaders of the free ♪

♪ Are not who they claim to be ♪

♪ Still one of those
sad, sad mysteries... ♪

Man on TV: Well, that was the
first surprise of the day,

and it's a big one.

Why did St. Louis skip over

arguably the best
receiver in the draft?

Jordan: Not arguably.
He is the best.

He runs circles around that guy.

Layla: I'm never
going to St. Louis.

Man on TV: Judging by the
look on Spencer James' face,

he's as surprised as anyone.

- Poor Spencer.
- It's OK.

There's still a few
teams in the top 10

that need a wide
receiver. We're...

Hey, San Diego has
the seventh pick.

- They'll take him.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

They'll take him.

[Applause on TV]

Spencer: Coop, San Diego's up.

- You heard from Eric?
- No.

I told him don't come back

until he got some good news.

And he ain't back yet.

Dan: With pick number
7, San Diego selects

linebacker Matt Herman, Indiana.

Jordan: A linebacker?
Are we serious right now?

Hey, it's OK.

It's fine. It's fine. He's
still got Oakland at 10.

Man on TV: What do these
team know about Spencer James

that we don't?

Your guess is as good as mine,

but he is running
out of options.

[Applause]

Dan: Oakland is
now on the clock.

Olivia: Hey,
you're gonna be OK.

Just breathe.

If I don't get
picked by Oakland,

there's a good chance I'm gonna

fall out of the first round.

They'll choose you.

That's what everybody
said about St. Louis,

and yet here I am.

I guess Eric had a good
reason to be nervous.

He's been freaking out
for the last couple days.

Something's up.

What if I don't
get drafted, Liv?

Hey, you're gonna
get drafted, OK?

You're too good not to.

Your worth isn't tied to
just some pick number.

Whatever happens,
you will find a way

because you always do,

and you know more than anyone

that the game isn't
over until it's over.

Definitely channeled your pops.

Olivia: "Something in
that young man's head"

"changed the day
Coach Billy said,

"'Join my team,
and soon you'll see

all your dreams
will come to be.'"

Dan: With the tenth pick of
the draft, Oakland chooses

cornerback Alec
Greenwald, Cleveland.

[Applause]

Keep your head up, honey.

Dillon: Yeah. There's
a lot more draft left.

Rakei: ♪ Run away from
the rest of the world... ♪

Olivia: "He was
more than a coach."

"That much they all knew.

And with each passing year,
his lessons rang true."

Jordan: I can't believe

the board. I don't...

Olivia: "You can't

Olivia: "without a last..."
