Original subtitles

Be honest with yourself for two seconds,

and tell me that you don't feel the way I feel about you.

I don't feel the way you feel about me.

Move on. Your friend left.

So, what are you trying to say?

That he just started wheeling on down the road?

Calm down.

Hey, you really saved my ass tonight. No problem.

You leave my sister alone.

Smash Williams is an arrogant, violent thug who attacked us just because we're white.

They've decided to suspend you for three games.

They're revoking my scholarship.

That's the mark of death, Coach.

The best thing you could do for me right now is win.

And no matter what happens out there, y'all remember this,

y'all are state champs.

Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a...

Thank you.

Hey, give me some money.

What? Give you some... Now. Give me some money.

She's, uh... Hey, Lyla.

Hi, Billy.

I once was lost

Thanks.

But now am found

Was blind but...

Lord, you've been so good to me, yeah

To me

Just wanna thank you

You, Lord, yes

Just want to thank you

Just want to thank you,

You mean all to me.

Amen! Amen! Yay!

You've reached the office of Coach Powers,

University of Alabama Athletic Department.

Please leave a message.

Mr. Powers, Brian Williams.

Just following up to see if you got my other messages.

Like I said, my position with TMU is changing,

and I'm feeling like rolling with the Tide.

Call me, okay?

With this car, everything you're getting,

this is the invoice price direct to dealer,

and I swear to you, sir, this is the absolute best I can do.

No, I know. I appreciate it.

It sounds like... It sounds like a good deal.

I'm just trying to knock something off here somewhere.

There's gotta be...

All right. You know what? You think about it. Yeah.

And I'll be back in a couple minutes. Okay? You got it. Thanks.

Hello, miss. Hello, sir.

This is the 2008. Fully loaded, you know. If you...

If you're actually looking, I could probably get you a pretty good deal.

I'm not shopping for a car, but thank you.

I know. I was just playing around.

Sorry I haven't called you back.

Yeah, it's been a bit... It's been a bit much.

It's, uh, 10 calls. Ten messages.

No call back. What's up with that?

I didn't know what to do. I mean...

Yeah. Probably called too much.

I don't really know what the rules are either in this exact situation.

I guess it's like a one-night thing

and then probably called a couple too many times...

Jason... ...but how've you been?

I'm pregnant.

Yeah.

That's impossible.

I want the parking lot. You got it.

You tell me I got it, I'm gonna trust you on that. You got it. You got it.

You ought to get it done for what we're paying.

No way! Is that Mo? Hey!

Holy cow! Who's that?

What are you doing here?

You look absolutely gorgeous. Mo!

Hi, honey. Oh, baby, you look so... Mmm.

Who is this? This is Gracie Belle.

Gracie... Whose baby? That's my baby.

Good. I'm good. How are you, honey? What in the world are you doing here?

I haven't seen you in a million years. I'm in Dallas. Just real estate. All real estate.

Really? What, you gonna buy... Were you buying the Bells? We're looking at...

What are you doing? Yeah. Yeah. Think so.

Yeah, I think maybe.

We're looking at shopping centers all over the state.

We've been rolling up some Class B retail around here. Is that right?

This is Reeves. Reeves, come here. Come here. Hi, Reeves.

This was the reigning Rankin High School

Homecoming Queen, 1980... All right. Enough of that. Enough of that.

What was it? We don't need to tell him what year it was.

This is Reeves and he's a good man. That's one thing we don't need.

I gave him a hard time. You dated Mo? You dated, huh?

We were high school sweethearts.

Go get the car. Go get the car. Okay.

Your husband won a state football championship.

Yes, we did. Yeah. What are you doing now? Where are you working?

Working at the school. At the high school. What are you doing? You teaching?

I'm counseling the kids, which has been great. Mmm-hmm. Guidance counselor.

Those boys must love you.

Mo, you are too funny. I'll bet.

What are you doing tomorrow night?

Well, you know, I'm home with the family.

We're doing a thing. We're doing a charity thing... Uh-huh.

...at the hospital. Would you guys come? Will you come?

Yeah. It's at the hospital? At the hospital. Yeah.

Uh, well, I'll check with everybody...

We would be honored to have

a Texas high school coach, champion coach, at our event.

Tell him I want him to come. Invite him for me.

McGILL: Why aren't you out there, Williams?

Pretty sure your suspension doesn't cover this stuff.

Oh, it does today. Yeah. It does?

Besides, I've hated this game since the fifth grade.

McGILL: Roscoe! Get out of there! You're done!

How you doing, Brian?

Doing okay, Coach. Hanging in.

Good. You know. It's all good.

Mmm-hmm.

You know I've been talking to some people. Alabama, Georgia, Miami.

Good.

Matt, you're out! Get out of there!

Good. Hey, Coach.

Man, what a bitch!

It's not like that.

"It's not like that," huh?

Yeah, well, let me guess. She come to get some cash for the abortion, huh?

That's what she want.

No. No, she doesn't want money for the abortion.

See? I knew I shouldn't have said anything to you about this, man.

You know, I can never talk to you seriously about anything

'cause you're an idiot. Am I?

I give... I'm an idiot?

Yeah, you are. Okay, put it this way.

You go out and finally get yourself a slice of Y-bone steak,

and Io and behold, she shows up pregnant.

Not only that, when she comes to tell you,

you're not even pissed off about it!

Why would I... Why would I... Why would you be?

You can't even take one step back to ask yourself one serious question.

And what's that, Herc?

Is this kid even yours?

Of course I asked her if it's mine!

She said I'm the only one that she's been with in two months!

Only one she's been with, right? She's a one-night stand!

Yeah. I'm the only guy she's been with in two months.

All right. Well, how about rubber, dude? How about that?

Huh? You ever think about wearing a rubber, huh? Wrap that puppy, man!

No, I didn't exactly think about it, all right? Oh, why?

'Cause everybody told me that this was impossible, Herc!

So no, I didn't "wrap that puppy"!

You know what? And if it happened and it's true and it's mine,

then it's a miracle.

All right?

All right.

Fine.

Well, what are you gonna do about this little miracle? Huh, Street?

There's nothing I can do.

She said... She said it's her problem,

she'll take care of it

and she just wanted me to know.

We got South Pines tonight. 7:30, Herrmann Field.

Home game. Uh, yeah, we should win by 40 or more.

What's he doing in our studio? He's auditioning.

All right, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you...

For what? He wants to do a talk show about sports.

It's not a bad idea. I wish I would have thought of it.

Guess who I ran into today. Hmm. Who?

Walking right out of Bells, taking Gracie...

I was right on my way to take her to daycare. Bumped right on in...

Who?

Mo McArnold.

Who's Mo McArnold?

Why is Mo McArnold in town?

He's here buying up real estate.

What do you mean "real estate"? You mean like a house or what?

No, he's buying a whole shopping center.

Apparently he's a big mogul now or something.

Who's Mo McArnold?

Mo McArnold's an old boyfriend of your mom's, till I came along.

Lucky for both of you, the best man won.

TAMI: That's right, honey. I'm your prize Guernsey.

That's right, baby. Mmm-hmm.

Wouldn't it be fun to see him?

'Cause he invited us to go to this hospital charity benefit tomorrow night,

which I think could be kind of neat and sort of fun.

He's all involved with it.

It's right over at the hospital. Don't you think that would be a neat idea?

Oh, yeah. That could be really nifty.

Well, I sort of thought it would be nice.

It's nice that he's in town and everything, but...

Well, he'd like to see you, and...

Go without... See, I don't think he wants to see me. You know, that's all

water under the bridge anyway, hon.

No "water under the bridge."

Honey, it's been so long.

He talks a lot. He's always talking. I know he does.

I know. He's got that crazy energy, but it'd be fun.

Come on, hon.

Sure this is a good idea?

Yes, it is.

Okay. You have to put a face in front of the customer.

It's, like, the basic fundamental of selling.

This is crazy. I'm used to them selling me.

Okay. Listen to me.

You are Smash Williams,

star running back of the State Champion Dillon Panthers.

You've set conference records in yards rushing

and touchdowns scored two years in a row.

Remember who you are.

Remember who you're gonna be.

And if they've got a second chance to sign you,

then they're gonna be totally psyched.

All right? So go out there and do your thing,

because when you get back, you're totally gonna get laid.

For real?

No. I'm PMS-ing. But go!

Come on! Get out of this car! Go.

You're Smash Williams! Don't forget that.

Okay. Okay. Go!

Hey, Mr. Powers. Hey, Brian.

How you doing? I'm doing good.

Good. Hey, look. I made a mistake.

I got caught up in the moment and it was a rash decision, but I changed my mind.

I know TMU pulled your scholarship, son. Nice try, though.

Look. I run a 4.4 flat,

and I set conference records in yards rushing

and touchdowns scored two years in a row.

Ain't nobody better than me in the whole state.

Look, Mr. Powers. I'm standing right here and I'm telling you

The Smash is ready to come to Tuscaloosa.

Problem is the spot's taken.

You may be the best running back in Texas,

but we got a verbal commitment from Juette Coleman

out of Christian Oaks in California.

He ought to fit in real nicely with this QB right here.

Mr. Powers. Please.

What do you want me to do? Get down on my knees and beg?

I'm sorry for your situation, Brian, but you turned us down. Remember?

But like I said, it was a mistake.

We honor our commitments, son.

Juette Coleman is coming to Alabama, and you're not gonna change that.

And to be quite honest, we're the University of Alabama.

We don't play second fiddle to anybody.

Good luck to you, Brian.

Tell your momma I said "Hi."

Hey, you. Number three.

It just seems kind of...

Garrity! Hey.

How you doing?

I'm all right. How are you?

Pretty good.

So, uh, hear about the premiere coming up?

Premiere?

Yeah, premiere. Sports.

Riggs. Radio.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

How's the boy doing?

He's good. Really?

Yeah.

So good that he invited me to the ranch this weekend to meet his family.

Family, ranch.

Yeah, it's going to be great. That's great.

It's gonna be great because you're not gonna be able to find us.

Yup.

Hey, y'all. Oh, hi, guys. How was school today?

It was fine. Hey, Mr. And Mrs. Clarke.

Sweetheart, do not wash that bowl. I have every intention of licking it.

Did you hear?

Hear what? About me and Tyra?

Oh, yes. I saw the two of you

holding hands. That was really cute. Did you?

What happened to Jean? 'Cause I thought the two of you were like...

I mean, it's kind of a really long story.

It's kind of complicated. It's not as easy as just,

as Tyra came into the situation.

Okay. Well, give me something. But...

I don't know. I don't know, but I'll tell you one thing.

In, like, you know, the boudoir?

Tyra, like, does things that I didn't even know...

She probably knows what she's doing. She has some practice.

I mean, it's not like you're her first.

Or second. I mean she was with Riggins and...

Why would you bring something like that up? I know that she was...

Well, no, I'm just... I just didn't really realize that she was your...

That she was your type.

Well, I don't know. I mean, I didn't realize that a hot Mexican nanny was your type.

Look. She's not Mexican and not a nanny.

That's something I didn't know about you.

You're kind of a freak show. She's a Guatemalan in-home-care nurse.

I've told you that like 100 times. Okay?

And she blew me off just like Tyra's probably going to blow you off

and take off back to... Okay.

...whatever other cooler guy comes along when you're, you know...

Well, you don't have to worry about that because we're going to be okay.

Hi. Hey.

So I've been thinking. Yeah?

We should have this baby.

Jason... I was up all night long thinking about it, okay?

And then I started reading stuff on the Internet and you know what?

This is a miracle. It's a blessing from God.

What are you talking about? Look. Listen to me.

I'm a C7 incomplete quadriplegic, okay?

Yeah. I have, like, a 20-percent motility rate.

Like most guys at my SCI do.

But a normal guy would, like, have 80-percent motility rate.

Even to get an erection with you, I had to go

reflex instead of psychogenic,

which you were great with, by the way.

I just thought I'd tell you that real quick. Thanks.

But I didn't know if I had enough duct function to get sperm into the semen.

Oh, my God. Okay?

Shh.

Look, point is my boys can swim.

Ever since this injury, the worst thing has been people telling me

I probably wouldn't be able to be a father.

But guess what? I am.

You need to stop and go home and get some sleep,

because you are freaking me out.

We have to have this baby... No.

...'cause it might be my only chance.

You do not get to put that on me.

I mean, I'm not some experiment for you to prove your manhood, Jason.

I am 19. You're a freaking car salesman in a wheelchair...

That's not the point... and you've never been to college.

That's not fair and that's not the point.

It's absolutely the point, Jason.

This is my body, and I'm going to make...

I'm going make the ultimate decision.

You were a one-night stand, for God's sake.

It was one of the greatest nights of my life.

I gotta go. No, Erin. Don't.

Oh, my God... No. Erin, come on. Don't...

Hey, man. We're in Dallas this weekend. Houston the next.

Now, it's open tryouts. All you need is a pair of cleats.

Yeah, and 60 bucks.

Y'all really expect me to pay to come run around with a bunch of wannabes?

Hey, man. Arena Football's the real deal, man.

Kurt Warner played in our league before the Rams picked him up.

Come on, man. I mean y'all are running around inside

on a tiny field with a bunch of nets and stuff.

It's kind of a joke.

We're a fan's game. You're right about that.

Average attendance is about 12,000.

We just signed our new TV deal with ESPN.

Man, our guys are banking 42 grand a year

for a 16-game season, January to June.

For real? Yeah.

Guy like you, come in, kick some ass, become a franchise player.

Man, you could double that in three or four years,

plus health and housing.

You wanna play pro football? This is your chance.

With the addition of this state-of-the-art flying ambulance

and this wonderful heliport you're all standing on,

I'm proud to say that Dillon Memorial Hospital

is now officially a Level 1 trauma care facility.

And so I'd like to ask Mr. Morris McArnold,

the man who made this all possible,

To step forward and dedicate this wonderful new aircraft.

Morris.

Thank you. Thank you very much, Bob.

And let me just say, and I'll keep this brief,

as a third-generation Dillon citizen,

Dillon is in my heart, my family's heart.

So, it's a privilege for us to be able to make this donation.

God bless you all and thank you very much.

Thanks.

Good to see you. Good to see you. Good event.

Great to see you. Thank you, sir.

There he is. There he is. There he is. TAMI: Hey, Mo.

Eric. Coach. Hey, Mo. How are you?

Pleasure to see you. What a pleasure to see you.

Congratulations, let me... You know what? Let's just start with this right away.

State champion. Congratulations. Proud of you.

Appreciate that. We got lucky. Appreciate that. Real proud of you.

Cheers. And to your daughter... Gracie Belle.

Gracie Belle. He met Gracie Belle today. Gracie Belle. What a beautiful girl.

What the hell's it been? Fifteen?

It's been about 15, yeah. It's been about 15... Fifteen? Red light!

Red light! Red... All right.

Red light! Green light. I got you. I got you.

Hasn't changed a bit, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

You two look great. Thanks.

You two look... Not as great as this would look.

Coach? You know it looks good, right?

Yeah, she gets better looking every day.

She sure does. She sure does. Thanks, sweetie.

They got me on a schedule, so I'm gonna say goodbye for now.

Are you gonna go up in the... Well...

...the thing? just for pictures and it's all ridiculous.

But I tell you what I am gonna do is I'm gonna come to the game on Friday night.

I'm gonna be there. Oh, good!

So I wish you the best of luck. That's fantastic.

Baby, you look great.

Yeah, I'll get you some nice seats. TAMI: That'll be super.

Get Mo some seats. TAMI: You could sit with me.

I'd like that. Okay.

Probably get me a seat. We'll sit together at the game. TAMI: That'll be fun.

We'll go to the game. Bless you. Good.

Thank you for coming. Okay.

Aw, thanks. See you. You got a good one. You bring 'em hell.

And you bring 'em hell, and you keep bringing 'em hell.

Got you. Okay. Let's go.

Thanks for coming. Enjoy. Congratulations.

Bye-bye.

Bye, everybody. Take care. So nice to see you. Nice to see you.

Thank you for coming. Folks...

Boy, I sure have missed him.

Blast from the past. Mmm-hmm.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Morris McArnold will now take

the inaugural flight in our new medevac helicopter.

Oh, here we go.

This was not supposed to happen, all right?

I'm not supposed to be able to do this.

She shouldn't be pregnant from me.

But she is,

and this might be my only shot, so I am ready to be a father.

You think I'm crazy.

No.

Well, you're looking at me like I'm crazy. I don't think you're crazy.

I've heard this conversation before.

Usually it's the other way around.

Usually it's a scared kid trying to...

Get out of it. That's not me.

I'm not trying to get out of it.

I'm trying to get into it. I'm trying

to get her to listen to me and have this baby and I...

First time I talked to her, I failed miserably.

First of all, I don't have any magic words for you,

and it's not for me to convince her.

It's for you to find those words yourself.

I can tell you that it's gonna be one of the most serious conversations probably

you ever had in your life. I know.

I can tell you that your children and the mother of your children

are the two most important things in life.

How old are you?

I'm 19.

How old is she?

She's 19.

How long you known her?

Not long.

She's a great girl.

Look. She's just scared, you know?

And I know that. And I understand that and I...

I just...

Everything I know about women you can stick in this damn coffee cup here.

But I do know you have to have trust and honesty.

Without trust and honesty, it is not gonna work.

I can't give you any answers.

You gotta make the answers.

I know.

Thank you.

Let's get real here. This is The Riggs Show.

We got a game tonight. South Pines.

Let's, you know, maybe talk some football,

talk about what's really happening here. Let's go. Let's get after it.

Go ahead. You're on the air.

I wanna know what it is that you're gonna do to contribute

to the salvation of this championship season.

You know what? I'll tell you right now my character has never been questioned.

So if you've ever been to a game live,

you will understand how I do what I do and why.

That's what I like to hear, Mr. Riggins. Man, this town is crazy about football.

Actually, that's maybe the second call he got about it.

The rest were girls just trying to get a date. grind-nose football, okay?

Let's do it. Cheers. Lorena.

I was just wondering if you wanted to maybe hang out or catch a movie?

I think you're really cute.

Your long hair kind of reminds me of Jesus.

You've just been cut off.

Thank you for calling. That was ridiculous.

Lucky Loren, let's go. Loren, you're on the air. Riggs.

Hi. I was wondering what you think about the whole Smash Williams incident.

And what about it?

Uh, I was wondering if you think it's okay what he did? Punching that man?

You know what? I know Williams

probably better than anyone out there.

This guy is an honorable guy and he did take action on something,

you know, that I would have probably taken even further if it were me.

So... So you're saying it's okay to hit somebody.

At times, yeah. I am.

All right. We're gonna close this out now.

No regrets. 7:30 tonight. South Pines.

Same old, same old. We're gonna get a big W tonight,

head into the playoffs and take State.

That's it for now. Cheers.

Felt good. Yeah, man. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Good work. Yeah, man. Can I talk to you for a second?

Oh, yeah. Shoot.

I know you used to go out with Lyla and you're just doing this show

to try and get under my skin, and I just wanted to let you know it's not gonna work.

Why would I try and get under your skin?

She's over you. I just wanted to let you know that.

That's all I wanted to say to you, out of courtesy. Okay?

Thanks, man. Hey, good luck tonight. Okay.

Be listening to you on the radio. Cheers, man.

Do you think she's gonna be thinking of me or you

while you're listening to me on the radio?

She's gonna be with me, so... You're not letting it register.

Go Panthers. Cheers.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in.

Hey, Coach. You wanted to see me?

I do. Come in. Sit down. Close the door.

I don't know what you got planned tomorrow, but I want you to change it.

Come down to Whitmore with me.

For what?

Scholarship. Coach Deeks. The offer is still good.

Whitmore?

That's like Siberia, man... Whitmore's a damn fine school, first of all.

And they've got a good coaching staff down there.

They were 2-8 last year.

Whitmore is one of the only schools that is still standing behind you

after this mess you've gotten yourself into.

You think that accounts for something?

Yeah, but I mean I don't know... Yeah, but what?

You got an airplane waiting for you tomorrow

to take you off to LSU or Alabama? SC maybe?

Something I don't know about? Is that what you're gonna be doing tomorrow?

No, sir.

You didn't listen to me the last time.

I'm asking you to please listen to me this time.

Two years, maybe you can transfer.

Hell, who knows? You might be the first player down there in 10 years

to make it to the draft.

Coach Deeks seems to think that's a possibility.

Hell, I do, too.

You live up to your potential, I don't see why it couldn't happen.

Just think about it.

Get back to me before the night's over.

Thank you, sir.

I'll let you know.

South Pines hasn't been able to stop the Dillon offense,

and Tim Riggins rumbles in for the score.

It's fourth quarter.

Looking like it's an easy win for the Panthers here tonight.

Good team. That boy's got a good team.

Second offense! Let's go!

On me! Let's go! McGILL: You heard him, second team! Let's go!

Listen up. Wave. Say hello to your folks.

Let's get out there and let's kick some ass.

Come on! Let's have some fun! Let's go! Let's go!

McGILL: Go! Get them out there! This ought to be good!

At 31-0, looks like Coach Taylor is mercifully sending in

some of the second-stringers.

What you got for us tonight?

All right. All right. All right. Hey. It's third down. Landry.

Hey. You wanna show Tyra what you can do?

Yeah. All right. Here's the deal.

We're gonna get in pass formation, it's gonna be a toss back to Landry.

On one. Ready? Break!

Make something happen, boys!

Blue 80! Hut!

Saracen's rolling out.

Look at that! Look at that! Look at that! It's a jump pass to 85!

Oh, my God! Landry Clarke has caught it

and, oh, has he got open field. He is gonna score.

Touchdown, Dillon Panthers once again!

And this has turned into an old-fashioned whupping.

Who is that?

My baby boy!

That end zone has been open all night long

and Landry just walked in untouched.

Yes, she loves her Uncle Mo.

45-0 with eight seconds to play

and the only drama here is whether South Pines can put one in

before this night is over. Come on, let's go!

Santiago!

Hold on. Something's up here. Back up! Back it up!

Coach Taylor's calling for a change on defense.

You're giving them the middle? Whoa! And they opened up a hole

big enough for a semi. There's the snap.

And he waltzes into the end zone.

Touchdown! It has been a long hard night for South Pines,

and our Coach Taylor has lifted their spirits

and he sends them home with a score.

They had a shutout! Coach!

Way to go, bud. I'm proud of you. Thanks, Dad.

Good game, baby. All right. Thank you.

Hey, Mo.

Great game. Oh, thanks.

A great game. Thanks, Mo. Cheers.

No kidding. Here you go. Come here, you.

Come here. Ah, there's the little one. How you doing, huh?

All right, sweetheart. Bye. See you soon. All right, honey.

All right, I'll talk to you later. Great game.

Blew the shutout, though. You did blow the shutout, Coach.

Coach, put the hammer down next time!

TAMI: Bye. Come here, you. Come here, you.

Come here, you. Hi, baby.

Set! Hut!

Got things pretty wide open. West Coast offense.

Yeah, that's what they call it now.

No offense to Coach Walsh, God rest him,

but we were running that down here 10 years before he was.

Speed and quickness. That's what we're looking for.

Yes, sir.

Now, we don't have the size, but we got the heart.

And a guy like you who can see the field and make his cuts,

that's exactly what we need.

What?

I told your coach here, six years ago,

that I thought you were the complete package.

Mentally and physically.

Wait, wait. Six years ago?

Oh, yeah. I saw you run in seventh grade, son.

And eighth grade.

And your freshman year, when you went from JV to Varsity

after that Arnett Mead game.

Then old Taylor here comes along, looking at that Dillon job,

and I said to him, "That Brian Williams..."

"Brian Williams is gonna be a star. He'll make you one, too."

You were right. Congratulations.

Truth is, Williams, I didn't think we had a shot at you.

And if you want to keep looking, we won't take it personal.

And I say "we" 'cause we're one big family here.

You let us know something, okay? I want to thank you for coming down.

Oh. Thank you.

Thank you, Coach.

Coach Deeks.

I'd like to make my official verbal commitment and play for Whitmore University, sir.

You wanna play ball with us? Fine.

Come on over here and meet some of the fellas.

Okay, men! Bring it in!

Okay, men.

This is Brian Williams. He's gonna be joining us soon.

He's gonna be part of our family now.

We wanna make him feel welcome.

He made us a reservation at Carmello's. You know, that new Italian place.

Yeah, he wants to take us to a nice dinner.

It's the world's longest business trip, isn't it? What?

You know, all right. Fine. You know what? Then let's at least go get barbeque.

I don't want to spend all night with Mo.

We don't have to go. I mean, if you're gonna be crabby about it, let's just not.

We'll do it again next time he's in town.

No. No. Fine. It's fine. We'll go out, we'll get it done. We'll do it.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. How'd it go with Smash?

He's going to Whitmore.

Oh, that's great news. Will you please, please tell him "Congratulations,"

from me. I'm sure Corrina's thrilled.

I will.

Listen. I got to get going. I'll talk to you later. All right?

All right. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

He was Annabel Quimby's grandson. Yes.

And I said, "You know, I remember when you were nothing"

"but just a thought, in somebody's backyard."

Oh, it's okay.

Lyla, what college are you thinking of applying to?

Oh, I'll apply probably to Texas,

and probably Baylor, 'cause that's where my mom went.

But where I really want to go is Princeton.

Helena went to Princeton.

Oh, really? Mmm-hmm.

Cost me a small fortune. But it was well worth it.

Yeah, right. Like that Russian Lit degree's doing her a lot of good

while she's shopping for shoes at Neiman's.

I'm back in baby's arms

How I missed those loving arms

I'm back where I belong

Back in baby's arms

Back in baby's arms

Back in baby's arms

No kidding, you two did it right.

You really did. You got married. You got married properly.

You married a good woman. Just wanna raise a glass to both of you.

Cheers.

I guess the better man did win.

To love. To the love that is in there,

if we can just figure out a way of getting to it.

Absolutely. And God bless coaches like you

for making that kind of thing happen, Coach.

Well, that's just a very kind,

kind speech there, Mo.

So fun to get together and... Well, we're not done.

Very good meal. Are we done?

We've got Julie at home. You haven't even met Julie.

How is everything? Everything's great.

Bring us a bottle of good whiskey, please, just for the heck of it.

Oh, you know what? We're gonna have to go home, 'cause Julie's...

No, I'll have a shot. It'll be great. TAMI: Oh, honey...

Sure. Let's have two. TAMI: You know what? We've got Scotch at home.

TAMI: Sweetheart...

And the check. Thank you.

Be right out with it.

I'll take the check. No, you can bring the check to me, please.

Here you go. Coach, good work. Proud of you.

To lucky. Lucky.

Well, they totally love you.

I think my grandma's ready to start planning a wedding.

Yeah. She's funny.

Yeah, I guess.

You want some of this? Yeah. Thanks.

She told Kelly once,

"The bigger your hair, the closer you are to God."

I can see her saying that.

Yes, you can.

I'm glad I came.

Yeah. Me too.

So, we alone?

Pretty much.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just...

Can you hold that thought?

Yeah.

Look. You know how I feel about you and I just...

I don't want to do anything to mess it up, so...

Even though it goes against every fiber of my being, I think I should go.

Are you okay? Mmm-hmm.

Promise? Mmm-hmm.

Edward Betowski. Avoline High School, 1998.

He ran the exact same triple-stack offense,

counters, halfback options.

Coach, you stole that offense from Betowski... I stole it. I stole it?

...and I never heard you thank him. I never heard you thank him.

I stole it. I stole it from the Green Bay Packers, too, didn't I?

TAMI: Can we just let this be the last one? Cheers to it.

Cheers to stealing. Cheers to it. Cheers to liars.

Cheers to liars. I'll drink to liars. There we go.

We both can agree to that, can't we? TAMI: Okay. Great.

Well, let's... That's it. Let's head on home now 'cause...

No, no. No, hold on. Let's talk about something else that you stole, Coach.

Let's go home. Let's talk about something else you stole.

Let's talk about this little lady right here. Oh, that's ridiculous, Mo.

TAMI: No. Now come on now, y'all. Let's get on home. You look me in the eye.

Let's get on, home. Look me in the eye and you tell me

you were not calling her behind my back

and telling her that I was sleeping with Anita Nesbith. You do it.

Look me in the eye and say it. Can you? TAMI: It's ridiculous, Mo!

I already knew about you. I knew you were sleeping with her.

That's it. That's the last word. We're going right now.

TAMI: You're being stupid. To stealers and liars.

Come on, y'all. Seriously, y'all. Red light?

TAMI: You do not need to finish this off. Red light.

TAMI: We need to go take the... Mo, stop it!

You stole her! Admit it! You bastard!

You stole her from me!

I'll see you at home, honey.

Get your coat.

Where's Dad?

He's not coming.

If he's not going to church, I'm not going to church.

Well, you can go right on in there and tell him if you like.

Let's all go. Come on.

If I have to get up and get out of bed and go to church,

so do you. Mmm-mmm.

TAMI: Hi, honey. It's just your three girls here,

wanting to see if you want to come to church with us, hon.

What happened to your face?

I was defending your momma's honor.

With your face?

No. He was being an idiot.

Would you give me some Aspirin, please? No, honey.

We're going to church. Sorry. We got to run. Love you.

Say "Bye" to your daddy.

Bye, Dad. Goodbye, honey.

Yell "Bye" louder.

Bye, Dad!

TAMI: Bye, honey! We'll miss you.

Oh, I love you, too.

Y'all are doing a great job this year, you and the coach.

How are the boys? We're looking forward to playoffs here.

Oh, yeah, It's coming. It's gonna happen. We're coming into our own here.

Hello, Ms. Garrity. Hi.

How you doing, Lyla? God bless you.

So, how was the ranch?

The ranch was great.

Oh, really?

Yeah, really. His family's awesome.

He was the perfect gentleman.

Are you really gonna come every Sunday?

Yeah. Of course. Whatever it takes.

Ms. McGowan.

How are you? Good morning, Timothy.

Good morning.

How're you this morning? I'm wonderful. And you?

I'm great.

Would you care to join us, Garrity? I can't.

Yeah, you can. No, I can't.

Yes, you can.

Just sit beside us. I'll see you later, Tim.

All right. Suit yourself.

Hey. Hi.

Baby, dinner will be ready in about half an hour.

You finished your homework?

Yeah. I'll be right down.

Baby, are you all right?

I'm fine, Momma.

You know your Auntie Shay called this morning.

She told me to tell you "Congratulations."

Okay.

You know how proud we are of you?

You're going to college, boy! On a full scholarship!

Listen. I know Whitmore wasn't what you dreamed of.

But honey, when a door closes, God opens a window.

He don't never fumble the ball, baby. He always gets the touchdown.

That's God's plan. Now you're gonna get a good education, Brian.

And you gonna be the star of their team.

It's gonna be all right.

Let me go and finish frying this chicken. And I got your favorite dessert.

I knew that'd put a smile on your face. You come on up out this room.

Come on here.

Okay. There's probably a million reasons why this is a bad idea,

and I get that. I completely do and I know you have to start with, like,

number one being how I acted the other day.

Yeah. Yeah, that was totally inappropriate, Jason. I need that job.

I'm sorry. It's just that, you know,

nothing like this has ever happened to me before, so...

You know, I might have overreacted a little bit.

A lot.

Okay.

All I'm asking you is to not,

like, make a rash decision here.

You know? Think about it. Just for a little bit.

Jason, I have thought about it every which way.

It's so weird. I already feel my body changing.

I've got cramps and I'm tired all the time.

I mean, it sucks.

I understand. I understand what you're saying. I mean, but it makes sense.

Think about it. You got a little, there's a little... There's a baby in there.

A little person's in there, you know? Little fingers and little toes

and a little heartbeat. You know? And he's got his eyes all scrunched up

and he's in a ball and maybe he's got a weewee.

Maybe he doesn't.

Aren't you the least bit curious? You've got a human life in there.

You're not one of those people that, like, blows up clinics, are you?

No. No. I'm just saying, like, it could be, you know, that...

That little person could be the next Bill Gates or the next Peyton Manning.

Or Britney Spears with a learning disorder.

No. That's not redundant.

No way.

Not on my watch.

Oh, God.

Look, Erin.

I understand.

This right here could be the most important decision that we'll ever make.

And if you choose to give this a chance,

I will be there with you every day.

You won't be the only one living with it.

One hundred percent.

Anything you ask, anything you need, day in, day out, I will be there.

Really?

Just give it some time and give it a shot.

Please.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty please?

So give it a chance.
