‫PREVIOUSLY ON ‫ "SWITCHED AT BIRTH"...

‫I'M COACH MEDLOCK. ‫DO YOU HAVE A SECOND?

‫I DECIDED TO TAKE ‫COACH MEDLOCK'S OFFER.

‫I'M GONNA JOIN ‫THE BUCKNER TEAM.

‫IT'S REALLY NICE ‫TO MEET YOU.

‫WHAT WAS ‫I SUPPOSED TO DO?

‫JUST WATCH YOU ‫DROP OUT OF SCHOOL?

‫I WENT OUT ON A LIMB ‫TO PUT YOU ON THIS TEAM

‫AND I'M STARTING ‫TO REGRET THAT DECISION.

‫YOU PUT ME ON THE TEAM ‫BECAUSE I'M DEAF

‫AND THE SCHOOL GETS ‫DISABILITY FUNDING.

‫DO YOU GUYS WANNA SEE ‫IF WE CAN SAVE THIS TEAM?

‫- COME ON. ‫- DAPHNE, IT'S GOOD ‫ TO HAVE YOU BACK

‫PLAYING FOR THE MUSTANGS.

‫I'M SORRY, EVERYONE.

‫EVERYBODY, WE--

‫WE HAD ‫A FANTASTIC SEASON.

‫JUST FANTASTIC.

‫BUT MARSHALL DIDN'T ‫BEAT US. I BLEW IT.

‫I MISSED AN EASY LAYUP ‫AND NOW IT'S OVER.

‫NO SPRINGFIELD TOURNAMENT.

‫NO MORE GIRLS BASKETBALL.

‫HOLD ON, WE DON'T KNOW ‫THAT FOR SURE.

‫WE DO NOT KNOW THAT ‫THEY ARE CANCELLING ‫THIS PROGRAM.

‫I KNOW. YEAH.

‫HEY.

‫I FINISHED IT.

‫I WASN'T SURE ‫IF YOU NEEDED IT BACK.

‫I TOLD TY ‫THAT WE'RE DATING,

‫AND I SHOULD'VE TOLD HIM ‫A LONG TIME AGO.

‫CAN WE GET PAST THIS?

‫'CAUSE SOMEONE'S BIRTHDAY ‫IS COMING UP.

‫COME ON!

‫IT IS MY TURN TO PLAN ‫SOMETHING AMAZING.

‫AND I HAVE A FEW IDEAS--

‫ALL OF WHICH ARE ‫100% LEGAL.

‫YEAH, WHAT'S HAPPENING ‫WITH ALL THAT?

‫ARE YOU GONNA STAY ‫WITH YOUR DAD?

‫AND I WILL VISIT YOU ‫WHEREVER YOU ARE.

‫- HEY. ‫- HEY.

‫I GOT YOUR TEXT. ‫WHAT'S GOING ON?

‫UM, THE CARLTON ATHLETIC ‫DIRECTOR CALLED ME.

‫IT SEEMS THAT ‫THE MARSHALL GIRLS

‫CELEBRATED ‫THEIR MOMENTOUS VICTORY ‫IN THE LOCKER ROOM

‫WITH CHAMPAGNE. ‫( laughs )

‫THEY'VE BEEN ‫DISQUALIFIED!

‫WAIT, WHAT?

‫THEY'RE OUT, ‫WE'RE IN.

‫- SO WE'RE GOING ‫ TO SPRINGFIELD?! ‫- WE ARE GOING TO SPRINGFIELD!

‫( both laugh )

‫- WAIT, IT GETS BETTER. ‫- YEAH.

‫WE ARE PLAYING THE WINNER ‫OF THE WEST-SIDE ‫QUALIFYING GAME--

‫BUCKNER.

‫- WE'RE PLAYING BUCKNER? ‫- YEAH.

‫OH YEAH. ‫ AWKWARD.

‫THEY'RE REALLY GOOD.

‫WE ARE GOING ‫TO WIPE THE FLOOR ‫WITH THOSE GIRLS.

‫YEAH, WE ARE.

‫HI.

‫EMMETT'S IN HISTORY.

‫ANYTHING.

‫IT'S ABOUT THE-- ‫WHAT SITUATION?

‫- CUSTODY. ‫- CUSTODY.

‫RIGHT. ‫I THOUGHT EMMETT ‫GETS TO CHOOSE.

‫ME?

‫NEED A STATEMENT ‫FROM ME

‫ABOUT EVERYTHING ‫THAT I'VE SEEN.

‫MELODY, I--

‫MMM, TOLD YOU IT WAS ‫IN THE CITY. CREAM

‫IT'S GOOD, BUT WE'RE GONNA ‫ICE CREAM JOINTSW MORE

‫BEFORE I DECLARE IT ‫THE BEST.

‫WHAT, YOU'RE NOT GONNA ‫TAKE MY WORD FOR IT?

‫THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE ‫AN EXCUSE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

‫THEN I GUESS WE'LL ‫TIME TO GRAB A CONE.

‫UH.

‫OKAY, I'VE TRIED ‫EVERY FORM

‫OF NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION ‫I KNOW--

‫THE SUBTLE HAND BRUSH, ‫LEAVING MY KNEE NEXT TO YOURS ‫A LITTLE TOO LONG--

‫AND I SWEAR YOU'VE INITIATED ‫A HAND BRUSH OR TWO YOURSELF,

‫SO I DON'T GET IT.

‫MY EX-- ‫WHATEVER HE WAS--

‫CAME BACK INTO MY LIFE ‫A FEW MONTHS AGO,

‫AND THEN ‫AND SO YOU AND I--IN

‫I'M JUST NOT READY.

‫MMM, I MEAN IT WOULDN'T ‫BE FAIR TO YOU.

‫YOU DON'T HAVE ‫TO WORRY ABOUT ME.

‫OKAY, THIS IS MORE DIFFICULT ‫THAN IT SHOULD BE.

‫- BUT I-- ‫- I'M BANKING ON YOU

‫THINKING THAT'S ROMANTIC ‫AND NOT LITTERING.

‫- Kathryn: HONEY? ‫- YEAH.

‫REMEMBER WHEN CRAIG TEBBE ‫TOLD US ABOUT HIS FRIEND?

‫- YOU KNOW, THE EDITOR ‫- YEAH. YORK...

‫- ...RYA BELLOWS? ‫- UH-HUH.

‫APPARENTLY SHE READ ‫WANTS TO MEET ME.HE

‫REALLY? ‫THAT'S GREAT.

‫I KNEW IT. I KNEW ‫THAT THEY WOULD LIKE IT!

‫IT'S ONLY A MEETING ‫AND THE PROBLEM IS

‫SHE'S ONLY IN TOWN ‫THIS THURSDAY AFTERNOON,

‫SO IF I SEE HER, ‫FOR THE TOURNAMENT.

‫- SO YOU'LL BE LATE. ‫- WHAT IF THE MEETING GOES LONG?

‫OR THERE'S TRAFFIC? ‫ON THE PHONE,TALK TO HER

‫IT'S SUCH LATE NOTICE. ‫SHE'D UNDERSTAND.

‫KATHRYN, IT'S A GAME, ‫REASON TO CANCEL.NOUGH

‫HONEY, IT'S NOT JUST A GAME, ‫IT'S A TOURNAMENT.

‫OKAY, WELL, IF YOU'RE ‫SCARED THEN, YOU KNOW--

‫- I'M NOT SCARED. ‫- GREAT.

‫THEN YOU GET THERE ‫WHEN YOU GET THERE.

‫- OKAY. ‫- MMM.

‫WE KNOW YOU CAN ‫DO IT, DAPHNE.

‫YOU ASKED BAY TO WHAT?

‫I JUST FOUND OUT MYSELF.

‫BAY IS THE ONLY ONE ‫WITH FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE

‫OF WHAT'S BEEN ‫GOING ON OVER THERE.

‫BUT EVEN SO, YOU CAN'T PUT HER ‫IN THAT KIND OF POSITION.

‫WHY DIDN'T YOU ‫TALK TO ME FIRST

‫BEFORE AMBUSHING BAY?

‫I JUST HUNG UP ‫WITH MY ATTORNEY,

‫I SAW HER ON CAMPUS ‫AND IT CAME OUT.

‫I'M SORRY.

‫I SHOULD'VE TALKED ‫TO YOU BOTH FIRST.

‫IF I COULD DO IT ‫ ANY OTHER WAY,

‫I WOULD. ‫I PROMISE.

‫HEY. HI--

‫BAY!

‫MELODY CAME TO SEE ME ‫AND I WANTED TO--

‫I APPRECIATE THE OFFER, ‫BUT I DON'T WANT ‫TO TALK ABOUT IT.

‫I DON'T NEED SOMEONE ‫TO GIVE ME ADVICE OR SOMEONE ‫TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF OF.

‫I'VE GOT IT ‫UNDER CONTROL, OKAY?

‫OKAY.

‫SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?

‫- YOU REALLY CAN'T WIN. ‫- I KNEW IT.

‫CAN YOU TAKE MY PLACE?

‫WORDS I NEVER THOUGHT ‫I'D SAY TO YOU.

‫I MEAN, HAVE YOU ‫SEEN ANYTHING THAT ‫YOU COULD TESTIFY TO?

‫I'VE BARELY BEEN ‫TO HIS DAD'S PLACE ‫SINCE HE MOVED OUT,

‫AND I'VE NEVER EVEN ‫MET THE GIRLFRIEND.

‫KIND OF A KOOK JOB.

‫LOOK, ‫MAYBE I'M SAYING THIS

‫BECAUSE MELODY IS LIKE ‫A SECOND MOM TO ME--

‫--OR THIRD MOM, ‫I GUESS.

‫WHATEVER. ANYWAY, ‫THAT'S WHERE HE BELONGS.

‫I WOULDN'T FORCE IT.

‫ALL HE NEEDS NOW

‫IS JUST A GENTLE PUSH ‫IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

‫WITHOUT PISSING ‫ANYONE OFF.

‫NO PRESSURE.

‫HEY, EMMETT'S GOING ‫TO MY TOURNAMENT,

‫SO I'LL TRY ‫TO NUDGE HIM TOO.

‫OH, I'M SORRY-- ‫I TOTALLY SPACED ON ‫CONGRATULATING YOU.

‫- OH. ‫- I FEEL BAD I CAN'T GO.

‫WE HAVE TO GET PERMISSION ‫FROM OUR TEACHERS TO MISS CLASS

‫AND MY ENGLISH TEACHER'S ‫BEING A BITCH.

‫SO HEY, GOOD LUCK.

‫THANKS.

‫( bell rings )

‫HEY.

‫SO ANY CHANCE

‫YOU WANNA ‫COME DOWN TO SPRINGFIELD ‫AND CHEER ME ON?

‫I HAVE A PHYSICS TEST ‫ON FRIDAY AND THEY'RE NOT ‫LETTING ANYBODY GO.

‫LOOK, I FEEL LIKE ‫I SCREWED THINGS UP

‫AND I REALLY WANNA ‫MAKE THIS WORK.

‫IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME,

‫AND I GOT ‫A HOTEL ROOM TO MYSELF.

‫HAVE YOU EVER HAD ‫CHICKEN POX?

‫'CAUSE YOU COULD COME DOWN ‫WITH A REALLY BAD CASE

‫TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

‫SO?

‫SO...

‫I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

‫( phone ringing )

‫HELLO? ‫PATRICK?

‫OH, SORRY NO. ‫I CAN'T GO TO BREAKFAST.

‫I'M GETTING DAPHNE ‫READY FOR SCHOOL--

‫OR SHE'S GETTING ME ‫READY FOR WORK.

‫YOU ARE?

‫SO WHEN THE COLLECTOR CANCELED, ‫I WAS STUCK WITH ALL ‫THESE BAGELS.

‫THEN I REALIZED I'M ONLY ‫A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY.

‫I HOPE YOU LIKE LOX.

‫WHAT'S LOX?

‫- ( laughing ) ‫- LOOK AT HIM,

‫HE TOTALLY THINKS ‫THAT WE JUST FELL OFF ‫THE TURNIP TRUCK.

‫WE LOVE LOX!

‫( chuckles )

‫I'LL SHIP IN A POUND ‫FROM MY PLACE IN BROOKLYN.

‫IT'S LIKE ORANGE VELVET.

‫YOU'RE THE GUY WHO OPENED ‫THAT ART GALLERY, RIGHT?

‫I LOVED THE SHOW.

‫WELL, HOW COULD YOU NOT?

‫UH, YOU BETTER GET GOING ‫OR YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE.

‫IT WAS REALLY NICE ‫TO MEET YOU.

‫YOU TOO.

‫- BYE, MOM. ‫- BYE.

‫- SHE'S GREAT. ‫- THANKS,

‫BUT YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

‫- DO WHAT? ‫- STOP BY AND MEET MY KID.

‫YEAH, BUT IT WENT WELL, ‫DIDN'T IT?

‫I WASN'T READY FOR HER ‫TO KNOW THAT I WAS ‫DATING SOMEONE.

‫SORRY, I JUST ASSUMED ‫YOU'D TOLD HER ALREADY.

‫WELL, I HADN'T.

‫OKAY.

‫SO I SHOULD NIX MY PLAN

‫TO SHOW UP TONIGHT UNANNOUNCED ‫WITH TAKE-OUT CHINESE?

‫IT'S NOT EXACTLY ‫AGAINST HIM.

‫IT'S AGAINST ‫THE CIRCUMSTANCES

‫THAT HE PUT YOU IN.

‫I DON'T. ‫I GOT PUT THERE.

‫I DON'T WANT TO PICK SIDES,

‫BUT YOUR MOM CAN BE ‫KIND OF CONVINCING.

‫THE ISLAND OF BAY?

‫( sighs ) ‫I PROMISE.

‫OKAY?

‫ARE YOU GONNA BE OKAY?

‫( phone ringing )

‫OH.

‫- ( beeps ) ‫- HELLO.

‫- Patrick: The Calder opening ‫ at Crystal Bridges. ‫- HELLO?

‫- IT'S PATRICK. ‫- Yeah, I got that.

‫The new museum ‫ in Arkansas--

‫THE ONE THE WALMART ‫HEIRESS JUST OPENED. ‫IT'S ON LIKE THREE PONDS.

‫YEAH, I KNOW ABOUT IT. ‫IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE STUNNING.

‫- ARE YOU GOING TO THE OPENING? ‫- WE'RE GOING.

‫And there's this great ‫ little bed and breakfast ‫ a few blocks away.

‫I WAS GOING ‫TO BOOK SEPARATE ROOMS ‫UNLESS, OF COURSE,

‫THERE WAS ONLY ‫ONE ROOM AVAILABLE.

‫OH UM...

‫- WHEN IS IT? ‫- Tomorrow night.

‫OH. I'M GONNA BE ‫AT DAPHNE'S BASKETBALL GAME.

‫- That's too bad. ‫- SERIOUSLY,

‫ED RUSCHA IS ‫GONNA BE THERE. ‫JOHN BALDESSSARI.

‫I CAN'T MISS HER GAME.

‫- Patrick? ‫- NO NO, I GET IT.

‫YOU'VE NEVER DATED ‫A SINGLE MOTHER BEFORE, ‫HAVE YOU?

‫NO.

‫It's not fair ‫ to ask you to understand.

‫YOU KNOW WHAT?

‫I NEED TO FINISH PACKING ‫FOR THE TOURNAMENT.

‫UM, YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME ‫AT THE OPENING, OKAY?

‫- Okay. Bye. ‫- BYE.

‫RACKING UP THE KILLS?

‫IT'S A RACING GAME,

‫SO JUST ‫A FEW FLAT TIRES.

‫UH-HUH. ‫I NEED A GUY'S OPINION.

‫EMMETT'S BIRTHDAY ‫IS COMING UP

‫AND I WANT TO GET HIM ‫SOMETHING AMAZING.

‫AND HE'S BEEN BUILDING ‫A MOTORCYCLE WITH HIS DAD,

‫BUT HE STILL NEEDS ‫A FENDER.

‫I FOUND A PLACE ‫THAT SELLS PARTS

‫AND I THOUGHT I'D PAINT ‫SOMETHING REALLY COOL ON IT.

‫- UH-HUH. ‫- OR OPTION TWO--

‫THERE'S THIS BOOK ‫I COULD GET HIM--

‫- THE FENDER. ‫- I AGREE.

‫I JUST NEED ‫A FAVOR FROM YOU.

‫( tires squeal, ‫ car crashes )

‫( sighs )

‫AH OKAY, SO WE JUST

‫NEED TO SEE THE TIRE ‫SO I MAKE SURE I GET ‫THE RIGHT SIZE.

‫YOU'RE REALLY GETTING HIM ‫A FENDER FOR HIS BIRTHDAY?

‫WELL, HE'S BEEN ‫LOOKING FOR ONE.

‫( laughs ) ‫JUST KIDDING.

‫YOU'RE THE COOLEST ‫GIRLFRIEND EVER.

‫SERIOUSLY, ‫THE ONLY THING I EVER GOT ‫MY HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND

‫LASTED LIKE FIVE MINUTES. ‫( chuckles )

‫I THINK THERE'S ‫A MEASURING TAPE ‫OR SOMETHING OVER THERE.

‫IT'S COOL. ‫I JUST NEED TO CHECK OUT ‫THE SIDE OF THE TIRE,

‫GET THE NUMBERS AND CHECK OUT ‫THE MOUNTING BOLTS.

‫- I DON'T SPEAK BIKE, ‫ BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD. ‫- ( buzzes )

‫I'M JUST GONNA ‫GO TAKE THIS.

‫OH, WE'LL BE DONE ‫IN LIKE TWO SECONDS.

‫- COOL. ‫- ( door closes )

‫SHE ENJOYS

‫SHARING DETAILS ABOUT ‫HER HIGH SCHOOL SEX LIFE.

‫I AM NOT SEEING ‫ANY NUMBERS.

‫- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? ‫- I DON'T KNOW, THEY'RE RUBBED ‫ OFF OR SOMETHING.

‫UM, LOOK FOR ‫THE TAPE MEASURE.

‫BAY, UH...

‫WHAT'S WRONG?

‫- YOU THINK THEY'RE SELLING IT? ‫- THERE ARE A LOT OF BAGGIES.

‫SO THAT WAS MY BOSS ‫FROM THE RESTAURANT--

‫THAT IS NOT MINE!

‫I'M JUST HOLDING IT FOR ‫A FRIEND WHO'S IN BETWEEN ‫APARTMENTS RIGHT NOW.

‫IT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS ‫AND I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

‫- RIGHT, TOB? ‫- YEAH, WE'RE GOOD.

‫UH, PLEASE DON'T SAY ‫ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ‫TO MELODY.

‫SHE'S JUST GONNA USE IT ‫AGAINST CAMERON

‫AND IT'S GONNA KILL HIM ‫IF HE LOSES EMMETT.

‫KENNISH, TWO ROOMS.

‫WOW, THIS IS SO COOL.

‫YEAH. HI.

‫HI, HALEY. ‫ARE YOU A BASKETBALL PLAYER?

‫- John: OHHH. ‫- THEY DROVE HERE ‫ FROM INDIANA...

‫- WOW. ‫- ...TO SEE THE GAME.

‫ACTUALLY WE JUST MET ‫PEOPLE IN THE BATHROOM

‫THAT CAME HERE ‫FROM HOUSTON.

‫- WOW, REALLY? ‫- WOW.

‫WE'RE HERE ROOTING ‫FOR YOU-- ALL OF US.

‫THANK YOU. ‫THANK YOU SO MUCH.

‫THANK YOU, BYE.

‫THANK YOU.

‫( laughing ) ‫THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

‫THAT IS SO INSPIRING.

‫YOU'RE LIKE ‫A ROCK STAR TO THEM.

‫YEAH. YOU KNOW, ‫MAYBE WE SHOULD SCHEDULE

‫AN EXTRA PRACTICE, ‫RUN SOME OF THE NEW PLAYS.

‫YEAH, I THINK THAT'S ‫AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

‫I'LL SCHEDULE US ‫SOME MORE COURT TIME. ‫THANKS VERY MUCH.

‫- ( whistle toots ) ‫- Man: LET'S GO, BUCKNER! ‫ PICK UP THE PACE.

‫( whistle toots )

‫- WHAT TIME DID WE ‫ HAVE THE COURT? ‫- RIGHT NOW.

‫( whistle toots )

‫ALL RIGHT, GIRLS, ‫OFF THE COURT.

‫AND DON'T DAWDLE IN THE SHOWER. ‫MASSAGES ARE IN 15 MINUTES.

‫John: ‫ LADIES, WE START WITH ‫ LAYUP DRILLS, PLEASE.

‫JERRY, FREE THROWS ‫AFTER THAT, OKAY?

‫- COACH KENNISH? ‫- YEAH.

‫- I NEED TO TALK TO YOU. ‫- I'M A LITTLE BUSY RIGHT NOW. ‫ CAN WE DO IT LATER?

‫THERE'S BEEN A COMPLAINT ‫LODGED AGAINST ONE ‫OF YOUR PLAYERS.

‫THAT IS SUCH A DESPERATE ACT, ‫TO DISQUALIFY OUR STAR PLAYER

‫- AT THE BEGINNING ‫ OF A TOURNAMENT. ‫- NOW HOLD ON, HOLD ON!

‫- WE DIDN'T KNOW ‫ ABOUT THIS UNTIL RIGHT NOW. ‫- IT WAS AN ANONYMOUS TIP.

‫ANONYMOUS? ‫IT WAS HIM OR ONE ‫OF HIS PLAYERS!

‫- WHAT'S GOING ON? ‫- IT'S A VIOLATION ‫ OF TOURNAMENT CODE.

‫HE SAYS THAT ‫DAPHNE CAN'T PLAY

‫BECAUSE SHE SWITCHED TEAMS.

‫PLAYERS HAVE TO HAVE BEEN ‫MEMBERS OF THEIR TEAM

‫FOR SIX CONSECUTIVE WEEKS ‫OR THEY CAN'T PARTICIPATE.

‫SHE WANTS ME ‫TO INTERPRET FOR HER.

‫HUNDREDS OF DEAF PEOPLE ‫CAME FROM ALL OVER

‫TO SEE THESE GIRLS PLAY.

‫DAPHNE IS ‫A ROLE MODEL TO THEM.

‫THERE'S A WHOLE COMMUNITY ‫OUT THERE ROOTING ‫FOR THIS TEAM.

‫DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? ‫DO YOU REALLY WANT ‫TO LET THEM DOWN?

‫DO YOU REALLY WANT ‫TO TELL THEM

‫THAT WE DISQUALIFIED OUR BEST ‫PLAYER ON A TECHNICALITY?

‫YOU KNOW WHAT? ‫WE'RE FINE WITH IT.

‫- GOOD. ‫- TOTALLY FINE WITH IT.

‫OKAY, GAME WILL PROCEED ‫AS PLANNED.

‫John: ‫ EXCELLENT. ‫ LET'S GO.

‫THANK YOU.

‫"IT'S ABOUT MISTAKES, ‫ACCIDENTS, ERRORS IN JUDGMENT

‫AND HOW THESE MOMENTS ‫DEFINE WHO WE ARE

‫- AND THE PATHS WE TAKE." ‫- GREAT.

‫I MEAN, I LIVED THROUGH IT ‫AND YOU'RE MAKING ME WANT ‫TO READ ABOUT IT.

‫- REALLY? ‫- YEAH. KEEP GOING.

‫OKAY. "SO WHEN WE WERE TOLD ‫BY THE GENETIC COUNSELOR

‫THAT THERE WAS A 99% CHANCE ‫THAT BAY WAS NOT RELATED TO US,

‫I LOOKED AT MY DAUGHTER ‫WITH HER PROUD RINGLETS ‫AND HER FIERY EYES"--

‫YOU'RE OKAY ‫WITH "PROUD RINGLETS ‫AND FIERY EYES," RIGHT, BAY?

‫- SORRY. WHAT? ‫- ( phone buzzing )

‫I WAS TRYING TO BE LITERARY. ‫BUT IF YOU HATE IT, ‫I CAN CHANGE IT.

‫- UH, DAD'S CALLING. ‫- BAY.

‫WHAT'S GOING ON? ‫IS THIS ABOUT MELODY?

‫- TELL ME. ‫- I'LL GET IT.

‫Kathryn: BAY.

‫Toby: ‫ HEY, IT'S ME.

‫HOW'S IT GOING OUT THERE?

‫One of the Buckner players ‫ tried to get Daphne

‫- kicked off the team. ‫- WHAT? WHY?

‫Some made-up reason. ‫ It was, quote, ‫ "an anonymous tip"

‫that she hadn't been ‫ on the Carlton team ‫ long enough.

‫- We took care of it though. ‫- THAT SUCKS. WHO WOULD ‫ DO THAT?

‫Someone who's ‫ threatened by Daphne

‫or holds some kind of grudge ‫ against her, I guess.

‫We'll talk about it later.

‫Kathryn: ‫ THEN, HONEY, YOU HAVE ‫ TO DO SOMETHING.

‫IF I DO TELL SOMEONE ‫WHAT I SAW,

‫THEN EMMETT'S DAD ‫COULD LOSE CUSTODY AND ‫THAT WOULD DESTROY EMMETT.

‫BUT IF I DON'T SAY ANYTHING ‫AND SOMETHING HAPPENS ‫TO EMMETT

‫BECAUSE OF WHAT I SAW-- ‫THEN THAT'S MY FAULT.

‫- BAY HONEY, YOU'RE WORRYING ME. ‫- AND IF I DON'T MAKE ‫ THE STATEMENT,

‫THEN MELODY IS GOING ‫TO HATE ME.

‫AND IF I DO MAKE THE STATEMENT, ‫THEN EMMETT IS NEVER ‫GONNA FORGIVE ME.

‫IT'S A CUSTODY-BATTLE ‫CHECKMATE.

‫I'M SURE WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, ‫EMMETT WILL UNDERSTAND.

‫NO, HE WON'T. ‫MOM, HE MADE ME PROMISE ‫TO STAY OUT OF IT.

‫AND I THINK HE'S SO MAD ‫AT MELODY OVER THE WHOLE ‫MOTORCYCLE THING

‫THAT HE CAN'T SEE CLEARLY.

‫LISTEN TO ME.

‫IF YOU CARE ABOUT HIM ‫AND HE'S REALLY IN TROUBLE,

‫YOU HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING ‫TO SOMEONE.

‫NO MATTER WHAT THE COST?

‫PFFFT!

‫HEY, I HEARD ABOUT ‫WHAT HAPPENED.

‫- I'M REALLY GLAD IT WORKED OUT. ‫- I'M SURE YOU ARE.

‫I AM!

‫WAIT, YOU-- WAIT, ‫DO YOU THINK THAT I WAS ‫THE ONE WHO RATTED YOU OUT?

‫IT DOESN'T MATTER.

‫- NO, IT WASN'T ME. ‫- YEAH,

‫BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEVER ‫PLAY DIRTY LIKE THAT.

‫DAPHNE, IT'S ONLY FUN TO WIN ‫WHEN IT'S COMPETITIVE.

‫YOU AND ME ARE ‫THE SAME THAT WAY.

‫I MEAN IT.

‫I MISS YOU.

‫MAYBE AFTER THE SEASON ‫ IS BEHIND US,

‫WE CAN CALL A TRUCE ‫AND HANG OUT.

‫I DON'T KNOW.

‫LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES.

‫THE SECOND KENNISH ‫I'VE HAD TO BEG FOR ‫FORGIVENESS TODAY.

‫- WHAT? ‫- NOTHING.

‫I'LL SEE YOU ‫ON THE COURT.

‫LOOK, I'M NOT TRYING ‫TO GET ANYBODY IN TROUB--

‫I CAN TELL THIS ‫IS STILL ABOUT OLIVIA ‫AND HONESTLY IT'S NOT--

‫NO, LOOK, EVEN IF MELODY ‫HADN'T COME TO ME,

‫I'M WORRIED ABOUT EMMETT.

‫ALL THE FIGHTING--

‫HE THINKS THAT ‫IT'S HIS FAULT,

‫HE HASN'T BEEN HIMSELF LATELY ‫AND HONESTLY I'M AFRAID ABOUT ‫WHAT HE'S GONNA DO NEXT.

‫WHAT? OLIVIA MOVE OUT?

‫OKAY, NOW I JUST FEEL ‫LIKE I'M GETTING DEEPER ‫AND DEEPER HERE.

‫WIN?

‫I CAME HERE BECAUSE ‫I CARE ABOUT EMMETT

‫AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT ‫IS WINNING?

‫NO, THAT'S GREAT.

‫HE'S PROBABLY NEVER GOING ‫TO TALK TO ME AGAIN, ‫BUT NO BIGGIE.

‫YOU GET TO WIN ‫THE BATTLE WITH MELODY ‫AND I GET TO LOSE EMMETT.

‫"...ACCIDENTS, ‫ERRORS IN JUDGMENT

‫AND HOW THESE MOMENTS ‫DEFINE WHO WE ARE

‫AND THE PATHS WE TAKE."

‫YOU KNOW, I THINK ‫YOUR READERS WILL RELATE

‫TO THE CHALLENGES I'VE FACED ‫EVEN IF THEIR CHILDREN WEREN'T ‫SWITCHED AT BIRTH.

‫AND IF THEY WERE SWITCHED, ‫THEN THIS IS DEFINITELY ‫THE BOOK FOR THEM.

‫- YOU DON'T HAVE TO SELL ME. ‫- OH WOW.

‫YOU DIDN'T HAVE ‫TO COME ALL THE WAY OUT HERE ‫JUST TO TELL ME THAT.

‫UNDER ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES, ‫YOUR BOOK WOULD BE ‫A SLAM DUNK.

‫ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES?

‫WE KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER BOOK ‫BEING WRITTEN BY A JOURNALIST.

‫( sighs ) ‫SARAH LAZAR.

‫AND THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE ‫SHE GETS HER BOOK OUT ‫BEFORE YOU DO,

‫WHICH IS WHY WE NEED ‫NOT JUST YOUR STORY

‫BUT THE OTHER MOTHER'S ‫AS WELL.

‫BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID ‫YOU LOVED MY PROPOSAL.

‫WE FEEL THAT HEARING ‫BOTH YOUR STORIES--

‫TWO MOTHERS' PERSPECTIVES-- ‫IS EVEN MORE COMPELLING.

‫- YEAH BUT-- ‫- UNLESS YOU GET ‫ REGINA ON BOARD,

‫I'M AFRAID IT'S ‫TOO MUCH OF A RISK.

‫YOU NERVOUS ABOUT ‫THE GAME TOMORROW?

‫I KNOW.

‫OH, I DON'T THINK ‫IT'S GONNA WORK OUT.

‫I DO, ‫BUT HE'S NOT A PARENT.

‫HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND

‫WHY I CAN'T JUST TAKE OFF ‫FOR THE WEEKEND

‫OR HAVE A SPONTANEOUS ‫BREAKFAST.

‫( sighs )

‫NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES ‫HE DISAPPEARS

‫OR DISAPPOINTS ME,

‫HE HAS A HOLD ON ME.

‫I DON'T WANT IT. ‫I SWEAR.

‫I WANT HIM ‫OUT OF MY LIFE.

‫WELL, I DON'T KNOW ‫ABOUT HIM EITHER.

‫SERIOUSLY, ‫DATING SUCKS.

‫* OH, BY NOW ‫ I MUST HAVE GROWN *

‫* OH, BY NOW ‫ I MUST HAVE GROWN *

‫* WITH HIS IRIS ON ME...

‫( phone buzzes )

‫* HIS BEE HAD TO STING, ‫ CRACK CACOON *

‫* HUM HONEY

‫* IN MY BED IT WAS ‫ NOT LIKE THE BOOKS *

‫* I DON'T KNOW WHAT ‫ HE MEANT BY HIS LOOKS *

‫* OH, BY NOW ‫ I MUST HAVE GROWN. *

‫( ball swishes )

‫- ( ball bounces, swishes ) ‫- DAPHNE? DAPHNE?

‫WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? ‫I'VE BEEN LOOKING ‫ALL OVER FOR YOU.

‫- YOU GOTTA GET IN BED. ‫- I'M OKAY.

‫NO NO,

‫LISTEN TO ME, AS YOUR ‫COACH AND AS YOUR FATHER,

‫- I'M TELLING YOU-- ‫- AND I'M TELLING YOU ‫ YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

‫I DON'T UNDERSTAND?

‫I WAS A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE ‫FOR 15 YEARS.

‫I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS ‫TO WANT SOMETHING SO BAD ‫FOR YOURSELF.

‫I DON'T WANT THIS ‫FOR ME.

‫OKAY, I-- I GUESS ‫I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

‫EMMETT'S DEAFNESS

‫DEFINES HIM.

‫MELODY TOO.

‫BUT I'M JUST DAPHNE.

‫IF I WERE HEARING, ‫I'D STILL BE ME-- ‫JUST A HEARING DAPHNE.

‫BUT LIKE IT OR NOT, ‫I REPRESENT.

‫- WE ALL DO. ‫- EVERY TEAM REPRESENTS ‫ THEIR SCHOOL.

‫NO.

‫I REPRESENT EVERY

‫PARENT AT OUR SCHOOL,

‫EVERY LITTLE SISTER ‫AND BROTHER,

‫THEIR UNCLE WHO TEACHES ‫AT GALLAUDET

‫AND THEIR DEAF ‫BROTHER-IN-LAW ‫WHO LIVES IN JAPAN

‫AND HEARD ABOUT THE GAME ‫AND EMAILED ME.

‫WHEN YOU'RE PART ‫OF A SMALL COMMUNITY,

‫IT'S FANTASTIC,

‫YOU HAVE ‫ALL THESE BENEFITS.

‫YOU GO ANYWHERE, ‫YOU SEE SOMEONE DEAF-- ‫INSTANT FRIENDS.

‫BUT IT ALSO MEANS

‫THAT EVERYTHING YOU DO

‫MEANS SOMETHING.

‫SOMETIMES I JUST WISH ‫I COULD BE DAPHNE.

‫NOT DEAF,

‫NOT HEARING,

‫JUST A GIRL ‫PLAYING BASKETBALL.

‫- ( cheering ) ‫ to the Springfield

‫Division III finals, ‫ with the perennial powerhouse

‫Buckner Bulldogs versus

‫the surprising ‫ Carlton Mustangs.

‫YES.

‫LADIES, I WANT YOU ‫TO LOOK AROUND

‫THIS ROOM. ‫I WANT YOU TO THINK BACK

‫TO THE BEGINNING ‫ OF OUR SEASON.

‫DID ANY OF YOU IMAGINE ‫THAT YOU WOULD BE HERE ‫PLAYING TODAY?

‫'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? ‫ I DIDN'T.

‫WHEN I STARTED ‫ WITH YOU ALL,

‫I DID NOT KNOW WHAT ‫YOU WERE CAPABLE OF.

‫BUT EACH AND EVERY ONE ‫OF YOU, YOU SHOWED ME.

‫NOW LET'S GO OUT THERE ‫AND SHOW EVERYBODY ELSE.

‫- ( buzzer sounds ) ‫- OKAY?

‫- ONE TWO THREE. ‫- RAH!

‫P.A.: ‫ Tipoff goes to Carlton.

‫Oh, wrong-way pass ‫ from Vasquez.

‫And it's an easy fast break

‫for her old teammate ‫ Simone Sinclair.

‫( cheering )

‫GUESS IT WAS A GOOD THING ‫I COULDN'T GET YOU THROWN OUT.

‫TIME-OUT, ‫TIME-OUT, TIME-OUT!

‫- ( whistle blows ) ‫- ( buzzer sounds )

‫- COME ON IN. IT'S OKAY. ‫- Time-out Carlton.

‫This could be a long game ‫ for the Mustangs.

‫HERE SHE IS.

‫AND THIS IS EMMETT.

‫PATRICK-- ‫YOU'RE HERE?

‫- AND WITH KATHRYN. ‫- I WAS CIRCLING THE GYM

‫LOOKING FOR YOU ‫AND SHE TOOK PITY ON ME.

‫HE LOOKED LIKE A LOST ‫CARLTON FAN, SO--

‫WHICH I AM.

‫WHAT ABOUT ‫CRYSTAL BRIDGES?

‫I WENT, I SCHMOOZED ‫AND I REALIZED

‫I'D RATHER BE SPENDING ‫THE WEEKEND WITH YOU.

‫OH.

‫YEAH.

‫JUST BE A GIRL ‫WITH THE BALL, OKAY?

‫ALL RIGHT, ‫JUST TUNE IT OUT.

‫- OKAY. ‫- YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.

‫- FINE, OKAY? ‫- ( buzzer sounds )

‫* TAKE A LOSS, ‫ I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT *

‫* MMM, YOU THE BOSS, ‫ BETTER SHOW ME PHAT *

‫- * RESPECT, I'M A CHAMP, I CAN ‫ SHOW YOU THE STATS... * ‫- HERE WE GO.

‫* BETTER TELL THEM ‫ THAT THE REAL IS BACK, ‫ NOW HOLD UP, HOLD UP *

‫* THIS THE VICTORY LAP

‫- * THIS THE VICTORY BLAST... ‫- Both: YES!

‫* IT'S THE VICTORY LAP, ‫ BETTER TELL THEM THAT ‫ THE REAL IS BACK *

‫* NOW HOLD UP, ‫ HOLD UP *

‫* TAKE A LOSS, ‫ I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT *

‫* MMM, YOU THE BOSS, ‫ BETTER SHOW ME PHAT *

‫* RESPECT, I'M A CHAMP, ‫ I CAN SHOW YOU THE STATS *

‫* BETTER TELL THEM ‫ THAT THE REAL IS BACK, ‫ NOW HOLD UP, HOLD UP *

‫* THIS THE VICTORY LAP, ‫ BETTER TELL THEM THAT ‫ THE REAL IS BACK *

‫* NOW HOLD UP, HOLD UP.

‫It all comes down to this.

‫With 15 seconds left,

‫Buckner is up by three.

‫- Carlton steals ‫ the inbound pass. ‫- YES!

‫COME ON, RIGHT HERE!

‫And it's an easy ‫ layup for two.

‫Buckner leads by one

‫with only 10 seconds to go.

‫RUN OUT THE CLOCK. ‫RUN OUT THE CLOCK!

‫Crowd: ‫SEVEN, SIX,

‫FIVE-- ‫( groans, cheers )

‫- LET'S GO, BRING IT DOWN! ‫- THREE, TWO--

‫- ( whistles, buzzer ) ‫- FOUL FOUL!

‫- WHAT WAS THAT? ‫- SIMONE, WHAT THE HELL ‫ ARE YOU DOING?

‫That's a shooting foul.

‫- Carlton is going to ‫ the free throw line. ‫- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

‫- IS THE GAME OVER? ‫- Both: NO NO, SHE GETS ‫ TO SHOOT TWO FREE THROWS.

‫SORRY, ‫I'M A BASEBALL WIFE.

‫Vasquez heads ‫ to the free throw line

‫and the game ‫ is on her shoulders.

‫SWEETIE, THIS IS ‫NOT THE TIME.

‫LET'S JUST CELEBRATE.

‫WAIT WAIT WAIT A SECOND. ‫ARE YOU--

‫ARE YOU TELLING ME ‫THEY'RE SERIOUSLY THINKING

‫ABOUT CUTTING THE PROGRAM ‫AFTER THIS?

‫THIS WAS AN AMAZING ‫ACCOMPLISHMENT,

‫BUT IT DIDN'T MAGICALLY ‫CREATE THE MONEY ‫THAT WE NEED

‫TO KEEP ‫THIS PROGRAM ALIVE.

‫I'M SORRY.

‫( Emmett muttering )

‫OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, ‫OLIVIA HAS

‫LIKE NINE LBS OF WEED ‫IN YOUR DAD'S GARAGE.

‫- WEED? ‫- YES, WEED!

‫POT, MARIJUANA. ‫SHE IS SELLING DRUGS ‫OUT OF YOUR DAD'S GARAGE.

‫You think that ‫I'd make that up?

‫I KEPT PICTURING ‫RIVAL DRUG DEALERS--

‫MASKED MEN WITH SHOTGUNS

‫BREAKING INTO YOUR HOUSE ‫IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT

‫LOOKING FOR HER STASH.

‫EMMETT, I DID IT ‫BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU.

‫I KNOW. ‫I'M SORRY BUT--

‫I DON'T THINK ‫THAT IT'S A SAFE.

‫Emmett, I-- ‫( freezes )

‫DAMN IT.

‫( sobbing )

‫HEY.

‫YOU NEED A HAND?

‫WHAT HAPPENED? ‫DID YOU HURT YOURSELF?

‫I KNOW THE FEELING.

‫I WANTED TO PUNCH ‫A WALL MYSELF TODAY.

‫DID YOU SEE THE GAME?

‫YEAH. I HAVE A BOTTLE ‫OF VODKA IN MY ROOM.

‫I WAS PLANNING ON HAVING ‫A FEW SHOTS AND WATCHING ‫PAY-PER-VIEW.

‫YEAH, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY ‫GO WRAP THAT.

‫I COULD HELP.

‫* I DON'T BELONG

‫* BUT YOU'RE WRONG...

‫GOT ONE FOR YOU, ‫OR EMMETT.

‫NOW THIS WILL FIT ‫EITHER A 110/90 ‫OR 120/90 TIRE.

‫THANK YOU, UH,

‫BUT YOU CAN KEEP IT.

‫I REALLY ‫DON'T THINK EMMETT'S

‫EVER GONNA TALK ‫TO ME AGAIN.

‫WELL, I'M SURE ‫WHATEVER YOU DID,

‫HE'LL GET OVER IT.

‫YOU GUYS ARE ‫PERFECT TOGETHER.

‫* I WASN'T TAUGHT ‫ THIS WAY *

‫* WITH A THOUSAND ‫ THINGS TO SAY *

‫* I WAS BORN ‫ WITH A BROKEN HEART. *
