(EXHALES HEAVILY)

Thank goodness, a little quiet.

All right, 6:45!
Practice starts in 15 minutes!

-Bye.
-Bye.

Be down in a minute, dad.

Perfect.

Morning.

Morning.
Heidi, hurry up and eat.

-Your dad's warming up the car.
-(HEATHER GASPS)

-(HEIDI SIGHS)
-Nice outfit.

Mom, make her change.

-No way. I was wearing it first.
-So? It looks better on me.

It looks the same, doofus,
we're twins,

And take off my sunglasses.

You do this to torture me,
right?

Mom, (SIGHS) you're gonna
make her change, right?

Who cares?
It's volleyball practice,

not a beauty pageant.

My friends will think
I'm a Doublemint geek.

If you worried 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?

BOTH: I did.

BOTH: You did not!
I did, too!

Okay, pick a number
between one and ten.

BOTH: Seven.

Okay, short stick 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 gonna to be late.

-BOTH: I got front!
-HEATHER: Heidi, it's my place!

HEIDI: You got it last time!

Oh, no way, this one's yours.

(GIRLS GRUNTING AND ARGUING)

(SIGHS)

(GIRLS ECHOED SHOUTING)

-(GRUNTS)
-GYM TEACHER: No back spiking.

Nice. Get up. Elevate.

Pull up, up.

-GYM TEACHER: Good job.
-(GRUNTS)

GYM TEACHER: Way to get up,
Heather.

Heidi, change positions
with your sister.

Let's go.

Way to go, Heather!

Thanks.

Here we go, Heidi.

-Hit the ball!
-(GRUNTS)

No, come on, Heidi, jump.

Don't let her control the net
like that.

-Not bad.
-(HEIDI GRUNTS)

How on earth do you
tell them apart?

Ah, it's easy.

Heidi's the one that gives me
a migraine.

If she had half the motivation
of her sister...

MAN: Ah, she likes to goof off.
What kid doesn't?

-Scouts get that.
-What do you mean, scouts?

You know,
the scholarship thing.

Athletics, college.

A little early for that,
don't you think?

San Diego state didn't think so.
Or Hawaii, or S.C.

They all had people
looking at my daughter

-when she was their age.
-You've gotta be kidding me.

Welcome to big-time recruiting.

It starts early.
Nothing's official, of course.

Nobody talks to a kid
until their senior year.

That'd 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 twins' school games.

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.

MAN: You know, if I were you,

I'd 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, and when was the last time
you saw a scout here?

(BIKE BELL RINGS)

HEATHER: You know,
your 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 it volleyball 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 things

to check out once we start
high school, you know?

-Yeah.
-Besides, I could do without

all the comparisons.

"This is Heidi. Not bad,
but she's no Heather."

Must be tough spending your
whole life playing catch-up.

I was talking about volleyball.
Just volleyball.

Sure, now,
but when we were kids,

you know, soccer,
piano, track.

I'm just saying
it had to be hard.

Always being second best.

(SHIP HORN BLARES)

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

(LAUGHS) Heck, I even kicked
your butt in the delivery room.

HEIDI: You beat me out
by a minute.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(BIKE BELL RINGS)

MARY: School starts Monday.

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

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.

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.

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,

the girls are gonna need
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.

(MARY SCOFFS)

I think we got home too soon.

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

Talking? As in...

(BOTH) "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.

(GIGGLES)

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.

Your mom and I want to make sure
that you take

-full advantage of that.
-(GASPS, SIGHS)

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

-What?
-What?

It's Palos Verdes high school.

It's a...
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.

Dad, what are we supposed
to tell our friends?

You know,
girls with half your ability...

We're switching schools
because the P.E. is better?

We don't have 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.

(SIGHS)

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.

(SIGHS)

(SPRINKLER HISSES)

(DOOR OPENS)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

-Hey.
-Hi.

I hate this.

Come on, Heidi.

You don't want to be late
for your first day.

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

What'd you do?

Nothing. It's 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

and help you get settled?

No. Dad,
you've done enough, really.

All right, look,

Have a good day.

HEATHER: Woah, I wonder how
you get into that carpool?

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

it doesn't stop
at our neighborhood.

HEATHER: Woo hoo,
so many choices.

Hmm, 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...

-Italian.
-Italian.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Look at those freaks.

Thanks. Ciao.

-(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
-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 well in a hurry.

I thought you didn't wanna
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.

Correction. You can work out
until then.

I'm gonna have fun,

and it wouldn't kill you
to do the same.

Okay. I'll meet you
after school.

(SCOFFS) Okay, just relax.
Don't have a cow.

What?

GIRL: Hello? Help. Get me
out of here, somebody! Anybody!

-Let me help you with that.
-Oh, thanks.

Now maybe you could
give me a heart transplant.

No, but biology club's
over there carving up worms.

They're all set up for surgery.

I'm Zoe, president
of the drama club.

And you are...
frighteningly tall.

(GIGGLES) Yes,
but I go by Heidi.

Sorry,
my mouth's an early riser,

but my brain sleeps in.

-(GIGGLES)
-Normally, I'd pressure you

to join our club,
But one, I'm exhausted,

and two,
I'm figuring the prom committee

probably already
snatched you up.

They're always looking
for somebody like you

to hang the really high
decorations.

-(GIGGLES)
-Actually, I was thinking about

going up for drama
at 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."

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(SHOES SQUEAKING,

(WHEELS SQUEAKING)

(SQUEAKING)

Come on, let's see
what you got.

COACH: Get your hands out.
Somebody pick her up!

Cut her off! Stop her!

-Tackle her! Something, girls!
-Defense.

Ladies, huddle up,
shall we?

Girls, look around.

Does this look like
a museum to anybody?

Not 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. Nicky, take it out.

Fifteen years. Fifteen years.

Would it kill you to send me
some reinforcements?

-(BALLS BOUNCING)
-(SHOES SQUEAKING)

(WHEELS SQUEAKING)

COACH: Come on,
play some defense now.

Work hard! (STUTTERS)

-(BLOWS WHISTLE)
-COACH: Hold on.

You okay?

Sorry, I was just looking for
a place to work out.

Okay, I'll find someplace else.

GIRLS: Wow...

How tall are you?

I don't know.

Just south of six feet,
I guess.

-My sister's just as tall.
-There's 2 of you?

Yeah, my twin.

Thank you, God.

You ever considered
playing basketball?

No. I'm a volleyball player.
Sorry I messed up your practice.

-(TROLLEY WHEELS SQUEAKING)
-You are so cruel.

Excuse me?

Oh, I was just saying,

if you're not doing anything
until volleyball season,

maybe you could go out
for 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.

-(GIGGLES)
-COACH: 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.

-(WHISTLE BLOWS)
-COACH: All right, girls,

let's do it again.

HEIDI: (GIGGLING) No.

(GIGGLING)

-(SIGHS)
-(SILVERWARE CLATTERS)

(SIGHS)

Are you kidding me?
(GIGGLES) I wouldn't miss it!

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.

(SQUEALS) 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 could 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.

LARRY: Oh, we've 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.
-Yeah, right.

(GIGGLES) 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.

Mmm, sorry,
I was busy having a life.

I met the basketball coach.

He wants me to go out
for the team. (SCOFFS)

I didn't know you were
interested in basketball.

HEATHER: 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?
-LARRY: 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 think about doing.

How about I think of Heather
doing it?

I was gonna go out for
the fall musical.

A musical?
That's not gonna...

MARY: I think that's great,
honey.

What show?

HEIDI: Wizard of Oz. Zoe says
I'm a lock-in for the tin man.

I think it's 'cause
I'm the only one tall enough

to fit the costume. (CHUCKLES)

Well, Heidi, one of these days
your sister is gonna be famous,

and you are gonna be sorry

that you didn't put in
the extra work.

And one of these days,
I'm gonna be at the Oscars,

thanking everybody but you.
Then who'll be sorry?

(ALL LAUGHING)

You're impossible,
you know that?

(LAUGHING)

-(SHOES SQUEAKING)
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

NICKY: (GIGGLES) He asked
if you were gonna 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.

HEIDI: 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?

(MUTTERING)
Take me home to Auntie Em,

-take me home to Auntie Em...
-(WIND HOWLING)

DIRECTOR: More tornado wind!
Action!

ZOE: Marvin...

Your line.

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

Okay, is 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,
ok?

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

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Girls, let's try this.

Here's the situation:
10 seconds left.

The other team has the ball
and a 2-point lead.

Madison, what are we in?

Big trouble.

(GIGGLES)

I mean,
what kind of defense?

Oh. That. Man-to-man.

-COACH: Thank you.
-Or in this case,

woman-to-woman.

Shutting up, sir.

Heather, you take Nicky.
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 wastin'. (GRUNTS)
-Ow!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

COACH: Heather, Heather,
Heather. (SIGHS)

You can't let her get by you.
You're making it too easy.

You gotta cut her off. You gotta
make her pass the ball,

-okay?
-Mm-hmm.

All right, let's try it again.

Nicky, take it out.
Come on, girls.

This is gonna be easy.

GIRL: Heads up.

(BLOWS WHISTLE)
One-on-one Rollout.

Heather, you're up.
Let's go.

(SHOUTING ENCOURAGINGLY)

You were awesome.

I told you you were a lock

And now comes the hard part,
memorizing a billion lines.

You're gonna be great.

Here are the directions
to the party.

I gotta get back in there.

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

-(SQUEALS EXCITEDLY)
-Bye!

(SIGHS)

COACH: Stay with her, Heather.

Work it inside, Nicky.

Sharp passes, girls.

Stay with her, Sandra.

NICKY: I think
you're gonna need this.

COACH: Stay with her.
Move your feet.

(GRUNTS)

(SCOFFS)
Like taking candy from a baby.

-(GRUNTS)
-ALL: Woah!

(GIRLS CHEERING AND CLAPPING)

Wow. Good.

Heather, Heather, good!
Good job. Good.

Let's do that play again.
Okay, great, girls...

I think you're gonna need this.

COACH: Take it out.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

-GIRL: Hey, Nicky. Woo hoo!
-Hey!

(DISTANT CHATTING AND LAUGHING)

BOY: Party! Woo!

Is that a house or a hotel?

And I thought a clown
for my sixth birthday

was a big deal.

And that was me.

Just drop me

(INDISTINCT EXCITED CHATTER)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

-Hi.
-Hi.

What did you do, jog here?

Oh, no. The line
was just really long,

so I, um... had my, uh...

around the corner.

-Driver. Impressive. Come on.
-(HEIDI SIGHS)

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

(KNOCKING)

Zoe, who lives here,
the president?

Yeah, like he could afford it.

Nicky Williams lives here
with her dad.

He's some kind of
investment guru.

Thanks.

I wonder what it's like
to live some place like this.

Oh, says the girl
with her own driver.

Your place must be,
like, totally out there.

Yeah. Oh, no, thank you.

Yeah, way out there.

We are talking
a whole 'nother zip code.

Well, if it isn't
my new teammate.

Hey, Nicky Williams,
current occupant

and the reigning queen
of the hardwood.

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

Heather. We 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 try-outs?

No. Basketball's not really
my thing.

Yeah, well, it's not
your sister's either.

She just 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 crib, too.

Maybe we can throw
a party there.

No. See, we just moved here,

and, um... it'll... it'll take
a while to settle down.

I mean, you know...
pool guy, decorators.

Not to mention the boat house.
You know how it is

-with a place like that, right?
-Ocean front. That's too sweet.

Yeah, way too sweet.

So, exactly where is
this great crib?

Uh, like she said, ocean front.

Uh-huh.
And does it have an address?

An address?

Yeah... sure, it's...

1984 all-district.

I mean, you know
that ocean front 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
dollars 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. Guess not.

I talked to a couple of coaches.

They said you've already
committed yourself to Princeton.

They're wrong.

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

-(SHOES SQUEAKING ON GYM FLOOR)
-(BALLS BOUNCING)

MADISON: Hello. Heather?

Tell you what.
Once you're done drooling,

-we'll warm up.
-Sorry.

You're forgiven.
Galen Alderman.

-Every college wants him...
-(CAMERA CLICKS)

But not as bad
as every senior girl.

I can see why.

I stopped by your place
last night.

Didn't see you there.

Maybe that's because
1984 Breezeway Drive

is a Winchell's.

You live in a donut shop?

When can we do a sleepover?

Yeah. My sister kind
of messed up the address.

Uh-huh. Sure she did.

COACH: 'Round the world
shooting, girls.

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

(CAR ENGINE REVS)

Oh, Heidi.

-Give me a sec'.
-Hurry up.

Aren't you guys excited?

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

His dad's gonna cruise
the harbor as we practice lines.

You want to come?

Trapped on a boat with people
doing munchkin voices?

I'm gonna pass.

You're still bugged about
the address thing, aren't you?

No, I just want to 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.

-I gotta catch up.
-Come on, Heidi. Let's go!

(GIGGLES) They're waiting on me.

But this whole thing's
worked out.

Us being here. Don't you think?

(CAR REVS)

I just kind of miss my friends,
you know?

And it's weird, us doing
so much stuff apart.

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."

(CHUCKLES)
I'm still saying that.

-(GIGGLES)
-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? What, are you
making fun of the old man?

Absolutely.

Let's see what you got.
Come on, take it to the old man.

Oh, yeah.

Ok, ok. Time out.

(PANTING)

So, how was your boat ride?

It was unbelievable.

It was so much fun,
we're 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 schools.
-But, Dad, what about the play?

Maybe in a year or so,
there'll be time for that,

-but right now...
-Dad, this is so unfair!

Heidi, your future's
in sports.

It's not in some school play.

(DOOR SLAMS)

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 already 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.

(SIGHS)

Defense stance.

Pitter patter.

(WHISTLE BLOWS
INTERMITTENTLY)

COACH: Come on. Nice,
crisp passes. Step into it.

I had nothing to do with this.
This was all dad's idea.

Yeah, right.

Good, Heather. That's a good
screen. That's a good screen.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

Get around on the inside.

Underneath, underneath.
Look down low.

Ball!

(GRUNTS)

Foul!

Coach!

Don't foul.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

That's it, Heidi. That's it.
Work, work. Get open.

Stay with her, Heather.

(PANTING AND GRUNTING)

Keep working. That's it.

-(GRUNTS)
-(LAUGHS)

(GROANS ANGRILY)

Girls.

All right. That's enough.

Heather, Heidi.
Come on, knock it off.

This is basketball,
not wrestling.

No more pushing.

No fighting, no holding.

Just play ball. That's enough.
Knock it off.

Come on, girls.

(BOTH GRUNTING AND STRAINING)

Gimme the ball!

-(WHISTLE BLOWS)
-Hey, girls, knock it off.

Knock it off,
both of you... girls!

Before I have you
running sprints.

Team rules say
you get suspended for fighting,

or are we just forgetting those?

Hey, you want to join them?

You just lose the lip.
And all of you,

start thinking about teamwork.

Now let's go again.
Nicky, take it out.

Red going this way this time.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

COACH: Look inside to Heidi.

Come on, sharp passes.

That's it, Heather.
Work hard.

HEATHER: I'm open! Heidi!

-Heidi, I'm open!
-COACH: Nice defense.

-HEATHER: Heidi!
-COACH: Come on, Nicky.

-Get in the game.
-HEATHER: I'm open!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

No, no, no. Heidi,
who were you passing to?

Look, there's nobody over there.

You girls gotta
take care of the ball.

Don't throw it away.

Let's do it again.
Nicky, take it out.

This time, girls,
watch your 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.

Don't be nervous.
Just go out and play

Now, the red-black game

Jumping to center

And jumping at center
for the black team,

number 21, her twin sister,
Heidi Burge.

Lace 'em up, big sis.

It's gonna be
a long night for you.

I don't think so.

Once second best,
always second best.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(GRUNTS)

(CROWD CHEERING)

Quick strike. Number 30,
Heather Burge down low.

You're gonna hear a lot of that.
Get used to it.

Heidi, you gotta work hard now.
Get that position.

Beautiful baseline move.
Heidi Burge.

(CROWD CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER: Great move inside

Let's go.

-Nicky Williams with the assist.
-(BRASS BAND PLAYS)

Thank you.

I got her! I got her!

Come and get it, sis.

Heidi Burge. Madison Stricklin

Heather, you gotta play
some defense now.

Quickly, quickly.
Fill the lanes, girls.

Ball! Ball!

Face!

Heather Burge.
Basket counts and the foul.

Heidi Burge is down low
and got the hot hand.

Looking good. Heather Burge.

Heidi Burge up top.

Come on,
don't give her that shot.

Down low, Heather Burge.

Heidi Burge,
you can't stop her.

Heidi Burge.

(CROWD CHEERING)

CROWD: (CHANTING) Heather!
Heather! Heather!

ANNOUNCER: Heather Burge.

The Burge sisters are on fire.

Heather! Heather! Heather!

Heidi! Heidi! Heidi!

Heather's open.

Nicky, Heather's open.
Pass the ball!

HEATHER: Nicky!

Look inside to Heather.

Nicky, pass the ball.

Pass the ball!

ANNOUNCER: Nicky Williams

Ref!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(BAND STARTS TO PLAY)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

COACH: Nicky, come over here.

Next time,
hit the open player.

-I had a shot.
-Heather's wide-open underneath.

-Hit the open player.
-I'm a shooter, not a passer.

No, you're neither.

You're a ball hog
with a sorry attitude.

Now sit down.

You're out of the game. Sit!

Ashley, check in for Nicky.

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

Everybody, now play hard,
play good defense. Come on.

Teamwork on three.
Ready? One, two, three!

ALL: Teamwork!

(CROWD CHEERING)

Nice footwork on the 3-pointer.

Maybe you should take up ballet.

Maybe you should
check the scoreboard.

You're down by 10.

Plenty of time left.

Ball! Ball!

(GRUNTS)

Here! Here!

Heather Burge continues
her dominance inside.

She is on fire!

ALL: Yeah!

Yeah.

The game is over!

So is the other one.

(CHEERING AND WHOOPING)

CROWD: Woop, woop, woop, woop!

(LAUGHING)

That was terrific.

You were great out there.

Hey.
Oh, it's okay, baby.

You were great.

You played a good game.

Hey, Heidi,
great shooting out there!

Great game. Let's go.

Come on.

There she is.
Our starting shooting guard,

which makes me happy
because that means

she won't be
on the bench bugging me.

Madison Stricklin.

(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)

Our starting point guard,

Last year's MVP,

Nicky Williams.

-GIRL: Come on, Nicky!
-BOY: Nicky, you rock!

Where have you been?

I had to take care
of a little records problem.

At forward,
a newcomer to the game,

but we're expecting
awesome things from her,

Heidi Burge.

(CHEERING)

And finally,
starting at center,

one of the best players
to come along in years

here at P.V, Heather Burge.

(BRASS BAND BEGINS TO PLAY)

(CHEERING CONTINUES)

CROWD: Heather! Heather!
Heather!

(LAUGHS)

-(BAND CONTINUES)
-(CHEERING CONTINUES)

Just one more week. Please.

I trusted you with two weeks,
Mr. Burge.

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've looked harder.

Please don't penalize
my daughters for my screw-up.

They like it here.
They're... (SIGHS)

...doing well here.

Please.

All right.

Find something
before the Christmas holidays

or don't come back
after the break.

Thank you.

Mr. Burge.

This time, I'll be checking up
on you myself.

Count on it.

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

Well...

(SIGHS)

(BALL CRASHING INTO PINS)

(SIGN SQUEAKING)

LARRY: See? You make a right
at the bowling alley,

and, uh, then we're home.

Well, this is it.

HEIDI: Sandy sore?

Great. We're moving
into an infected wound.

Oh, the "h" is missing.
It's Sandy's Shore.

Just give it a chance.

(TRAFFIC NOISE)

Looks 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 gonna miss our
old house as much as you are.

But we're not gonna 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.

(SIGHS) 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.

(SIGHS) Maybe it's not
their dream.

Maybe it's only yours.

HEIDI: I finished unpacking
all my stuff.

There wasn't really room
for all of it, though,

so, uh, I had to get rid of
your bed.

I hope you don't mind.

-I'm sorry.
-For what?

For lying to Nicky.

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.

Hm, 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've known it then.

I may wanna clock you
now and again,

but you're still my sister.

Not to mention...
my best friend.

Thanks.

(CHUCKLES)

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.

Let's go.

-Oh!
-Oh!

Unbelievable.
I bet you can't do that again.

-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah. (PANTING)

What is it with that weird
foot thing anyway?

It's my version
of the Ali shuffle.

-Okay.
-Now you see it...

Now you get knocked out.

-Face!
-Strut while you can.

-Uh-huh, uh-huh.
-HEATHER: Woo!

HEIDI: All right, all right.

HEIDI: Shoot it!

HEATHER: Oh!

(HEIDI AND HEATHER GIGGLING)

HEATHER: Let's get a ball.

-That's good, yeah?
-Yep.

Hey, there they are.

Well, if it isn't
the Redondo hillbillies.

I'm surprised to see
you're still around.

Get used to it. We 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?

(SCOFFS)

It's got nothing
to do with that.

You lied to us.
Teammates don't do that, either.

-I'm sorry.
-Don't be.

Let's play some basketball.

Come on, Nicky.
Pass the ball now.

Keep movin'. Get it.
Get open, Heidi.

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

Sharp passes.

Look inside. Nicky, come on!

-GIRL: Come on, Nicky!
-Nicky, what are you doin'?

Heidi's on your team.

Come on, girls, let's go!

Teamwork. Pass the ball,
Nicky. Come on!

I know you're a good dribbler.

Show me you can pass the ball.

Oh, fine. Madison,
what are you doing out there?

Come on, move the ball.
Heidi, you, too.

Heather... Nicky!
Get your head in the game.

♪ Come on dribble, shoot, shoot
Take that ball to the hoop... ♪

Now, it's not just
you two girls.

Heidi... Heather...
Nicky... everybody...

Move the ball.

Work down low.
That's it! Come on.

I'm open! Nicky!

Nicky! Nicky!

Nick! Nicky, pass...

No!

-(WHISTLE BLOWS)
-Nicky! Argh!

You're bright girls.

Who can tell me
the definition of that word?

Madison, put your hand down.

(LAUGHING)

COACH: Look, 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, Nicky...

Nicky, you're runnin' around
firing off these wild shots

like you're Wylie Earp
in tennis shoes.

Wyatt Earp.
His first name is Wyatt.

-(GIRLS LAUGHING)
-Wyatt, Wylie, who cares?

You know, I've 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,
don't know.

But you know what?
It doesn't matter.

We would've had to spend
Christmas in New York and...

-What?
-New York!

New York!

I'll just tell 'em no. I'll just
tell 'em we can't make it.

Wait! Wait! 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.

ALL: Come on! No!
Come on!

Some of the best teams
in the country'll be there,

and they'll eat you for dinner

if you can't learn
to play together.

(ALL CLAMORING)

Come on, you guys.
Come on. We can do this.

You girls are willing to learn
to play together like a team?

ALL: Yeah.

-I guess.
-To go to New York.

-For New York.
-Come on, let's do this!

All right. Okay, okay, okay.

But here's the deal.
It's not a free ride.

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

Are we all in?

Not a problem for us.

What about you guys?

Looks like we're goin'
to New York.

-How much?
-Fifty bucks.

-That's great,
-But we're still ¤20 short.

I don't know what else to do.

Dad already said
he wasn't gonna spot us anymore.

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

Hmm.

Maybe not every place.

-(GIGGLES)
-What are you talking about?

-Coach, congratulations.

-Hey!

What are you doing here?

We just got done with
the tournament.

What are you doing here?

Oh, we spend
every Christmas here.

My mom is as freaked out
about theater as me.

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

(SIGHS) I wish.

We're leaving for the airport,
though, in a minute.

We just stopped
to get some food.

Oh. You know,
the play turned out ok...

Other than the fact
that the tin man costume

swallowed Marvin.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

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

-Yeah, okay.
-Okay. Bye.

See ya. Oh, Heidi!

Um, there's gonna be an awesome

You oughta think about it.
I mean, you're really good!

-(CHUCKLES) Okay.
-Okay. Cool.

-See you at school.
-Bye.

There they are.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

That's a nice piece of hardware.

-Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
-Merry Christmas, mom.

M.V.P. Now the scouts
are gonna pay attention to that.

So, how'd we do?

We came in second.

-That's not bad.
-Where's my dad?

Uh, 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.

Hey.

-Come on.
-No. Uh-uh.

We'll be right back.

-What?
-Wait. What about the bags?

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

Okay, before we run off

and do our little girl scout
good deed of the day,

-can I remind you of something?
-What?

-She turned us in.
-So?

So she's not exactly
on my Christmas list.

Okay, I liked 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, Nicky.

He's in Chicago...

on business.

Surprise, surprise.

There goes 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 I 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.

Wanna join us?

I don't know.

Ready, Nicky?

Beats going home
to an empty mansion.

You want to take a limo?

It's paid for.

-Cool.
-Cool.

(TOASTER HISSES)

NICKY: I think that's yours.

What are these things?

Dad's infamous bacon,
bean and cheese sandwiches.

They're a holiday tradition.

Yeah, I told you
the food was awful.

Don't even ask me
for the recipe,

'cause I'm takin' it with me
to the grave.

Where it belongs.

Okay, who's ready
for another one?

No. Sorry, dad.
Big stretch run,

second half of the season.

Yeah, don't want to get
too beefy.

In fact, I say we work off
dinner with some hoops.

It's one o'clock in the morning!

Which shows what
committed players we are.

Yeah, committed to not barfing.

(ALL GIGGLING)

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

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Maybe they ate on the plane.
-Yeah, maybe.

Yes! You go, girl.

You guys are unbelievably lucky
to live here. You know that?

Yeah, why would we want to live
in a palace like yours

when we've got
this great garden spot?

NICKY: Because you've got
a mom who cares

and a dad who's more interested
in you than his own thing.

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

Hey, we can talk trade any time.

Come on.
Your dad can't be that bad.

NICKY: 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

he might wanna stick around
some, you know?

Yeah.

Star of a crummy
high-school team.

No wonder he doesn't give a rip.

I wouldn't say we're crummy.

I think you're
missing the point.

Do you guys know
it's one o'clock in the morning?

(GASPS) Galen Alderman.

You live here?

And sleep here when
people aren't keeping me awake.

-Merry Christmas to us.
-That's it. I'm movin' in.

(GIGGLING)

Don't tell anyone,

but I borrowed this
from the sign out front.

The mysterious missing "h."

You guys just finished
a tournament, right?

Yeah. We lost in the finals.

I'm 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 gotta knock out
the screwy shots, Nicky.

-Excuse me?
-You're a passer,

like Magic Johnson.

Magic... I like that.

Okay...

You're gonna set up here.

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

BOTH: What freaky twin thing?

Like, where one of you
passes the ball

in the middle of nowhere,
and then all of a sudden

the other one shows up.

I think it's pretty cool.

(GIGGLES NERVOUSLY)

All right, Heather.
You're gonna set up underneath.

And you're...
you're gonna set up here.

Here?

No, no, no.

Here.

I'm sorry. Here?

No. Here.

Just get set.

All right, three passes
and then you can shoot.

NICKY: Okay.

Here we go.

NICKY: Ball, Heidi, ball.

HEATHER: Oh!

-NICKY: What?
-GALEN: All right.

-HEIDI: Go, go, go!
-NICKY: Defense, defense!

GALEN: Pass it! Shoot, shoot!

Pass it, pass it! All right.

(GALEN LAUGHS)

Hey, that's a foul. Come on.

Better pass it! Better pass it!

Oh, you better shoot.

NICKY: Nice, good shot.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Play some defense now, girls.

Come on, Heidi.
Shut her down.

Stay on 'em.

Here we go. Here we go.

Come on, let's go!

The other way!
Get up court!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yes! Good job!

Yeah!

You're making it too easy.
Come on, now, let's go.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Nicky, watch your passes.
Run the offense.

(WHOOPING)

Heidi, good job.

(CHEERING)

Heidi's got a hot hand.
Get inside to Heidi.

Heidi, go to work!

-Yes!
-Good! Good job, Heidi. Right!

Way to go, Heidi.

Great. Awesome.

Last shot.
One more, Nicky.

All right, now,
work it to Heather.

Give it to your money player.
Let's go!

Shoot, shoot!

(GROANS)

(ALL CHEERING)

-(WHISTLE BLOWS)
-Time out! Time out!

Time out, white.

Are you watching the same game?

-You saw her go over her back!
-Take it easy, Coach.

Come on.
You can't rob our kids

-on our home court.
-I'm warning you. Just...

You know what?
Two seconds left on the clock,

you gotta have the guts
to make that call

or you shouldn't be wearing
that shirt!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

-That's a technical! Two shots!
-What? Are you kidding me?

I can't believe
she just did that.

God!

Come on. Huddle up.
Get in here.

Listen up.

This coach is tryin' her best
to gift-wrap this game for us.

Now, I don't want to
go into overtime.

I want to win it right now,

-So we go with our best.
-I'll make it, coach.

Not so fast, Heather.

Heidi, you're gonna take
the free throws.

-Me?
-COACH: Now listen.

After Heidi makes the free
throws, we get the ball back.

Now, Nicky, you take it out,
inbound it to Heidi.

Heidi, you hang onto that ball.

Two seconds, just two seconds.

Make them foul you.
You understand?

-Yeah.
-Okay, good. Come on, girls.

Get in here.

Okay, Sea Kings on three.
Ready?

-One, two, three...
-Sea Kings!

-GIRL 1: Heidi, let's go, Heidi.
-GIRL 2: Come on, let's go.

GIRL 3: Come on, you got it.

-Let's win this, okay?
-(EXHALES)

(DRUMS START TO PLAY)

What? Come on, Heidi.

No, no, no.
She's not ready for this.

Let Heather shoot.
She's the money player.

She's carried this team
the whole season.

You're right, but right now
it's Heidi with the hot hand,

and you got a hot head,
so go back in the bleachers

and cool down.
Go sit down.

Look, I know
ten big-time programs

that are sending people
to the finals

expecting to see
my daughters in uniform.

Do not blow this.

-(CROWD CHEERING)
-(AIR HORN SOUNDS)

(CHANTING) Heidi! Heidi!

Heidi! Heidi! Heidi!

Heidi! Heidi! Heidi!

Heidi! Heidi! Heidi!

Heidi! Heidi!

Drain it, kid.

MADISON: You can do it.

Heidi! Heidi! Heidi!

(EXHALES)

(BOUNCES BALL)

(CROWD CHEERS)

It's okay.

Come on, Heidi!
Come on, Heidi. You can make it.

You'll get this one.

This one's going in.

(CROWD CHEERING)

Yes!

(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

See, I told you.

All right, ladies. Let's go!

Let 'em out!
Take it out!

-Foul! Foul! Foul!
-(BUZZER SOUNDS)

(CROWD CHEERING WILDLY)

It was great.

You were great, great!

Baby.

-Coach, played a good game.
-Thank you.

Oh, baby.

LARRY: I gotta tell you,
I had my doubts,

but you really showed me
something out there.

You were great!
You both were.

I told you.
This is where your future is.

-Game. I'm done.
-Gimme the ball.

Come on, Heather. We've been
at this for two hours.

Galen, give me the ball.

GALEN: This is crazy.
You're gonna wear yourself out

-before the finals.
-Nobody's making you stay.

GALEN: Would you listen to me
for a second?

Just play.

(GRUNTS)

(WHOOPING)

(PANTING)

(SCREAMS)

GALEN: Heather, are you okay?

(HEATHER CRYING)

MARY: Heather!

I didn't mean to. I just
couldn't get her attention.

No, no. Galen,
it's not your fault.

Oh, honey, we've gotta
get you upstairs.

It's already swelling.
Help me get her up.

Come on. All right, baby.
Come on.

(HEATHER CRYING)

All the scouts were coming
to the game tomorrow.

-It's okay, sweetheart.
-No, it's not okay.

Dad's gonna be really mad.
I know he is.

Heather,
what happened?

I'm sorry, dad.
I'm so sorry.

I blew it. I really blew it.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no, Heather, it's...

-Hey.
-Hey.

-How you feeling?
-Stupid.

I meant the ankle.

You know, you played
a good game.

Not good enough.

MARY: 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.

She's a better player.

Now, I'm not sure
that's true, honey.

But even if it were,

there's always gonna be
someone better,

whether it's Heidi
or somebody else.

(SIGHS)

For me,
it was Emily Nybo.

I swam against her
at the nationals.

All year long,
I was the best in my conference

and she was the best in hers.

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

And?

And...

she beat me by about 103 yards.

(LAUGHS)

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 a blast.

Then play for that reason,

not because you think you need
to be better than your sister,

or because you have
to live up to

what your father
wants you to do.

Play because it makes you happy.

Play... because you love it.

But you quit.

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

Because I found
something I loved more.

Being a mom.

I love you.

(SIGHS)

Today's league

Heather is side-lined
with an ankle injury,

which has got to be
a crushing blow

-to the Sea Kings.
-Okay, guys, let's go. Lay-up.

And no one's really sure
what adjustments

Coach Yoshida has actually made

to take on this powerful
Bixby offense.

Check that out.
Coach is talking to the scouts.

Too bad they won't see you play.

Knock it off.
I already feel bad enough

for letting the team down.

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

You can do it.

-So get out there.
-You got it.

Candy Shane blocks the shot,
and Bixby comes up with it.

Three points, Bixby!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Time-out, Palos Verdes!

This Panther team
is just forging ahead

of the Sea Kings right now.

They're killing us.

Then put a shot up
now and then.

I can't! They're all over me.

Come on. We've gotta figure out
how to get Heidi open.

-If we don't, we're fried.
-Listen up, girls.

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

They're coming across
this weak side double,

so that means that somebody
has to be open.

Okay, now you girls are gonna
have to step up

and hit your open shot.

(CHEERLEADERS CHANTING)
Let's go, Bixby, let's go!

Oh, my God...

Come on.

We're still in the game, girls.
We can do this. Let's go.

Guess who finally showed up?

Two points, Palos Verdes!

This is exactly
what teamwork does.

Nicky and Heidi are bringing

ANNOUNCER: Nicky Williams

Let's just hope
she can stay in this game.

She's being helped
off the court.

Looks like she may have injured
her left arm.

Let's hope it's not too serious.

If she can't go, coach,
we need another foul shooter.

But that means she's out.

Okay.

-(CHEERLEADER CHANTING)
-(CROWD CHEERING)

-What do you think, Nick?
-I don't know.

Can you stay in?

I can do it...

if you don't mind
a one-armed player.

Coach, stall as long as you can.

What are you talking about?

Heather, where are you going?

(BAND DRUMMING)

Okay.

Okay, listen up, girls.
This is what we're gonna do.

After Nicky makes
the free throw,

we still gotta get
the ball back.

We gotta force the turnover.

Then, we'll call
a quick time-out, okay?

-Everybody clear?
-ALL: Yeah.

Let's do it. Let's go.

Sea Kings on three. Ready?

-One, two, three...

(CHEERING WILDLY)

CROWD: (CHANTING)
Heather! Heather! Heather!

Hey, 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 gonna have defenders
all over you.

Let's put me in, coach.

That's a good idea,
but you can't even walk,

-let alone, a jump shot.
-I don't have to shoot.

I'll be a decoy.

Maybe I can even pull
a few defenders off Heidi.

You know what?
This just might work.

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

Okay, Madison,

you inbound the ball.
Get it to Nicky.

Nicky, you work it round
to Heather at the high post.

Now, Heather,
if they come out and guard you,

you hit the open player.

If they don't,
you 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...

ALL: Sea Kings win!

(CROWD CHEERING)

Come on, girls. Let's go!

ANNOUNCER: The big question on
everyone's mind right now,

do they have enough momentum
to take this ball game?

(WINCING)

ANNOUNCER:
And it's Madison Stricklin

the scoreboard. We won!

(LAUGHING)

Oh, my twins...

I am so incredibly proud of you.

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

What turned him around?

I don't know. (CHUCKLES)

But I owe both of you
an apology, um...

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.

BOTH: But we're glad you did.
(LAUGHING)

-LARRY: Let's go order a pizza.
-Excuse me a second.

Mr. Burge? 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.

Tell you what, just don't move
until they graduate,

and we'll call it even, okay?

-That's a deal.
-Hey, you oughta think about

getting them into some
basketball camps this summer.

Your girls have a big future.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe more.

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

A pro league?

BOTH: Dad?

Okay, okay.
There's plenty of time

to think about the future later.
Tonight we're gonna celebrate.

-HEATHER: Yeah!
-HEIDI: Woohoo!

LARRY: Besides, Heidi,
I think you've already got plans

for the summer, don't you?

HEIDI: I do.
