I kind of was messing around with this TA who is married,
and his wife is crazy and she slapped me.
I can't go back there, and I don't know what to do.
I have been getting phone calls from different scouts.
I thought we agreed that everything was going to come through me.
This is my son we're talking about.
We got plans for the future.
I can't let you get in the way of that.
ANNOUNCER: Sixty-five yards in the air.
Oh! It's going to be another touchdown.
(ALL CHEERING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Vince. Hey, hey.
VINCE: What's up?
This is recording, right?
VINCE: Yeah. The red light's on right there.
You sure? Yeah. Red light's on. Can't miss this one.
I'm serious. This my boy's first interview!
(ALL CHEERING)
ORNETTE: We're going to preserve this moment, right here.
Hey, hey, hey, it's on!
... Texas high school football where the East Dillon Lions,
led by quarterback Vince Howard,
defeated their cross-town rivals That's me, that's me!
To remain undefeated for the season.
Vince, what does this win mean to you? Oh, there he is!
(ALL CHEERING)
We're playing for keeps. The Lions, we're the new kids on the block.
Panthers, they old news, baby.
REPORTER: You've really stepped up your game this year.
VINCE: Thanks. I didn't take the summer off.
I worked hard. I'm faster, stronger, more accurate.
I'm hitting my receivers in stride.
I feel like this cannon is doing its job. The cannon! (EXCLAIMING)
REPORTER: This offense now focuses more on you.
Yeah, last year we did a lot...
We ran a lot of wildcat.
This season, I'm stepping up as quarterback, as captain of this team,
and I'm showing people what I can do, baby.
(ALL CHEERING)
(EXCLAIMING) That's my baby!
You saw how he looked on camera.
(NEWSCASTER CHATTERING ON TV)
You didn't like it?
It was cool but, you know...
You barely talked about anybody but yourself.
You got a whole team, there.
Oh, no. I did, I did. They cut before I even got to it, you know?
I said it, like, three or four times.
Vince, that wasn't cut at all. They were on you the whole time.
It was, it was edited. Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry about that, man.
You the star. You can't help it.
Huh? Huh?
You did good. You did good.
(ALL CHEERING) All right, whatever.
Did you hear that? Hear what?
What if they come home?
They're not coming home.
They're gone all day. They're gonna go buy a tractor.
This is an all-day affair. I promise.
Hmm.
(SIGHING)
I'm sorry. What?
(SIGHING) Oh, I can't do this.
(BECKY EXHALES)
(SIGHS)
TAMl: "Finely tighten the number four."
TAYLOR: Well, it's not the one you gave me, 'cause this is stripped now.
(DOORBELL RINGS) Can you get that, Jules?
When you get up, can you see if my glasses are in the basket, please?
Honey, it's as simple as this. Look. It's right here.
(STAMMERING) What, you can't get it off?
TAYLOR: That's not the one you gave me a second ago! Um...
Are they in here? Glasses are not in the basket.
TAMl: "Use a spanner to finely tighten the nuts."
I got the damn spanner.
What is a spanner? Look in my bedroom, would you?
Honey, just go find your glasses.
You need to be able to see this.
What are you doing here?
TAYLOR: Who is it, honey? I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do.
You haven't returned my calls...
You need to go. You really need to go.
Can you please come out and talk to me for five minutes?
No, my parents are here, so you need to go.
TAYLOR: Hey, who is it? Is that your dad?
Yes, that's my dad, and my mom's here right now, so can you please go?
TAYLOR: Hi. Can I help you? (STAMMERING) Yeah. Hi, Mr...
Coach Taylor, I'm Derek Bishop.
I taught your daughter at Burleson.
If I could just talk to her for five minutes...
Get out of here right now. Dad...
(DEREK STAMMERING)
Hey, Eric. Eric... Dad, stop it!
I told you, you get in your car right now.
DEREK: Okay, okay. I'm done. I'm sorry.
TAMl: Eric! I'm going!
JULIE: Dad! All right? Now.
TAMl: Eric!
Oh, here he is himself, the golden child, Vince Howard.
Tell us about the brutal slaughter of the Panthers.
I threw the ball to myself.
I caught it in the end zone.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Then I kicked the extra point with my gold-plated schlong.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Oh, oh, look, look.
And here is the incredible juggernaut's beautiful girlfriend.
Tell us, what is it like dating the most interesting man alive?
Uh-uh. Y'all need to cut that out.
I mean, is it true that he discovered a new planet?
JESS: You need to stop it. HASTINGS: Right after he cured cancer?
Really?
HASTINGS: Well, this is what we heard.
VINCE: Comedians here, huh?
Trying to be funny.
I get it, I get it. It's jokes. It's jokes.
But for the record, I had nothing to do
with them cutting you out of the interview.
I mean, they even cut out that part when I ran over number 48,
Max Griffin. Boom!
It just seems like you're getting a lot of air time, that's all.
I mean, with a face like this, how could you not, right?
Right?
Joey, come on, man. Joey.
(STUDENTS SHOUTING)
Hey!
Epyck! Epyck!
Why are you fighting?
You know, you've been doing great.
Your grades are getting better. You've got to stop it.
She started it. I don't care!
That's the thing. It doesn't matter who starts it.
You gotta stop it.
You start feeling that urge, you get irked, you gotta walk away.
I'm on your side here,
but you gotta help me.
(EXHALES)
Are you gonna finish that?
(YELLS)
(ALL CHANTING IN MAORl)
CROWLEY: Coach Riggins. Coach Riggins!
Coach Riggins. Yeah?
Hey. Did you see that?
Look, we only slotted 30 minutes for defense.
Yeah, I know. Did you see that?
It's like a... A pregame war dance
to get the other team psyched out.
I was working on these moves all last night.
Let me tell you, defense is discipline.
That's how we win. Okay? You understand?
Enough with the dance practice. Let's get back... Yes, sir.
(GROANING)
BILLY: Hey. Whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey! CROWLEY: You okay?
What happened? What the hell happened?
BILLY: I don't know. I didn't see him.
CROWLEY: Let's get him up. Let's get him up.
BILLY: You're gonna be all right, Buddy.
You okay?
What he do?
BILLY: I don't know. It's his left leg. I don't know.
CROWLEY: Back in your groups. Let's go. Break's over! Everybody, up!
BUDDY: Yeah. Hairline fracture.
Why can't they give us something solid?
It's either broken or it's not.
And obviously it's broken.
What on God's green earth is a Samoan war dance?
Do they even play football in Samoa?
What was Billy Riggins...
Dad, I don't feel good.
We're sitting here in the middle of an undefeated season,
and you weren't even playing football.
I know, Dad.
I know.
It's all right.
Let's just sit here.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Mmm-hmm. Hey.
Tami, someone's here to see you.
Oh, thank you. Great. Okay.
Hi. Hi.
I don't think that I'm gonna be...
Before you say anything, I need to tell you how sorry I am
that this has happened.
I appreciate that. I don't really want to be talking to you right now, Derek.
I appreciate you coming by. Mrs. Taylor, please.
I've resigned. Good.
I think I can get Julie to go back to school.
How do you plan to do that?
She's a bright young girl. I know you know that.
Yes, I do.
I couldn't live with myself if I was the reason that she dropped out of college.
I'm trying to make this right.
You can't.
I think I can if I could just talk to her.
Please.
Well, I appreciate your time.
Thank you.
MINDY: Do you know how I know that there's a Lord above?
Because that sweet, sweet baby boy sleeps
for the same two hours every day,
for what I like to call "Mama Mindy Time."
To God, honey.
To God.
Cheers!
And to that sweet little boy.
Baby girl, what are you doing?
I am... I'm trying to decide if I want to do a pageant.
MINDY: Aw.
Miss America? My little girl's a beauty queen.
AMBER: Uh-oh.
Um, no, I mean, you have to build up a track record in regionals
and win some smaller pageants.
Like, I won chambers of commerce and stuff like that.
Wait. Does she get a tiara when she wins that thing?
(LAUGHING)
I swear!
Yeah, you get a tiara, and a lot of them have cash prizes,
like scholarship money.
What do you get from this one?
A Chrysler Sebring.
What?
A convertible!
Convertible! MINDY: Fill out the form.
We are gonna do a beauty pageant.
It's in Wichita Falls.
Road trip?
(ALL WHOOPING)
So, you want us to come up there tomorrow?
DOYLE: Mmm-hmm. Is that even allowed?
Sure. As long as it's not an official visit.
Which it ain't.
No, no, no, it's just gonna be me and a couple of my friends
showing you and your daddy around the campus.
I want you to fall in love with the place, Vince.
Oklahoma Tech's a great school.
I know it is.
You graduated from there?
Yep. Undergrad.
Law degree. I run a little company
that's got its headquarters near the campus.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, a little nothing.
Man's got a whole building named after him.
A building? A whole building.
(LAUGHS) Let's just say I'm very close to the school.
And I happen to know that you're their number one junior prospect.
So, if you play your cards right,
in a couple of years, you could end up
quarterbacking the number one-rated big-12 offense
in the BCS championship game.
'Cause that's where we're going.
And I think... Well, hell, I know
you got the talent to take us there.
So, you just come and take a look around.
I think that might be, uh...
(LAUGHS) I think that might be all right.
TAMl: There you go, hon.
All right.
(SIGHS)
Um... Derek came to my office yesterday.
Derek came to your office?
Mmm-hmm.
What did he say?
It doesn't matter what he said.
End it.
I didn't tell Derek to come here.
I need you to do whatever you need to do to put this behind you
and go back to school.
This is an opportunity for you to do the right thing.
(SIGHS)
Hey, guys, I'm sorry about that, but I had to wait on Kayla.
This is Connie. Morning, Mr. Howard.
Hi, Vince. VINCE: Hi.
DOYLE: They are your unofficial tour guides
for your unofficial tour.
So, you ready to go see the campus?
Uh, yes, yes.
Well, let's go!
(ALL CHATTERING)
I should have really gone to college.
I'm serious. It's never too late.
(BELL RINGING)
Hi.
Hey.
Tinker's having a party tonight
and he's inviting all the rally girls and the players over.
Will you come with me?
I can't.
Okay.
I told Mindy that I would watch Stevie.
Becky, look.
I like you so much, all right?
When you wanna go out, give me a call, okay?
Or just e-mail me, okay?
Or, like, send me a post card in the post office, whatever.
Carrier pigeons.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
BECKY: My mom always said that you should stay classic with the evening gown.
Do you think this is too much?
You can't win if they can't see you.
Amen. Amen.
TRIXIE: So, is your boyfriend coming to this pageant?
Y'all, he's hot.
No, he's got some football party thing.
Oh, my God, Becky,
when you win, you have to sneak into your boyfriend's room
wearing only your tiara.
Hell, yeah!
Yeah, I'll try that.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
It's just, Luke and I have only had sex once.
That's all right.
It gets better.
Way better.
Yeah. No...
I got pregnant.
And...
I didn't keep it.
Oh, baby.
I like Luke. I like him a lot.
But, like...
It's just awkward and it's weird, and every time he touches me, I just...
I'm just like, "You're stupid, you're stupid.
"You lost your virginity in a truck." I mean, who does that?
I did. Me.
Ditto. Car. Definitely.
Yeah, but that's not the point, you know?
I just...
I just wish that I could start over.
MINDY: Listen...
Life is gonna throw a bunch of crap at you,
but all you can do is just...
Put it in the past and leave it there.
Or you can drink a lot.
(LAUGHS)
I'm just saying. It actually really does help.
PLAYER: Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
TAYLOR: Have you seen Vince?
JESS: No, I ain't seen him all day.
He wasn't in school. Yeah, I know.
I thought he might be sick, and I called his house, but no one answered.
PLAYERS: Seven, eight, nine, ten.
(PLAYERS CLAPPING)
BILLY: All right, spread 'em down to the right.
What?
You see him, you hear from him,
have him give me a call, would you?
Yeah, okay. Thank you.
PLAYERS: Two, three, four, five.
(LAUGHING)
Look, Pop... (LAUGHING)
DOYLE: What do you think?
It's amazing.
You get 105,000 screaming Buffalo fans up in those stands...
Take your breath away.
This is amazing.
Yep. See up there?
That's my circle suite.
Right there? Yep.
Next sooner game, I want you and your family to come on up
and be my guests. We'll have ourselves a party up there.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Sound good?
Yes. All right, good.
Hold on. I gotta take this here.
(WHISPERING) Pop, go ahead. Yeah, go a little out.
DOYLE: Hello? Yeah. Go long.
Touchdown! Yeah, we're... Yeah, we're here.
All right.
(LAUGHING)
Hey, can we see the locker room?
Uh, yeah, sure. As soon as all the players get out of there.
But listen, right now I got a little business to take care of.
Why don't you guys just stand here?
Don't need to say anything. Just listen.
Hey, Coach, how you doing? Doyle, how are you doing?
I'm great, I'm great. Good to see you.
Good. Great day. Yeah, it is.
So, uh, Vince Howard from East Dillon.
Uh-huh. We like him.
Like him a whole lot.
Yeah, I heard that.
We've got him and Toby Jeffcoat at the top of our blue line list.
The way things are shaking out,
first one to give us a verbal
is probably gonna be running our offense in two years.
Hmm. We gotcha.
We're meeting this weekend to slot our offers.
Mmm-hmm. Okay?
If you happen to see Vince or his daddy,
tell him it'd be a good idea to give me a call next week.
Can you do that for me? Yes, sir.
If you happen to see him. On the off-chance.
I appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Coach.
Take care. I'll see you.
All right, let's go now. Let's get busy.
So, uh... What you think?
Worth missing a day of school for?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Let's go take a look at that locker room.
Yeah.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
Calm down.
I'll take on all of you.
Hey, hey!
Epyck. Epyck! Epyck!
Come here.
Get in this car right now. Come on.
Get in that car right now. Yeah, get in the car.
Quit it.
STUDENT 1: Go home to your mom, Epyck.
TAMl: Hey, y'all boys, cool it.
STUDENT 2: Better sleep with one eye open.
TAMl: Hey, y'all quit.
I'll see you in hell.
Excuse me. What in the world?
Hey, can I have one?
All right.
Mmm. These are good.
You know what? I'm gonna feed you right now, is what I'm gonna do.
EPYCK: Mmm. These are so good.
TAMl: Mmm-hmm.
What's going on? Are you getting fed at home or...
EPYCK: Why?
TAMl: Well, 'cause you seem hungry all the time.
It's a foster home.
You know, they're supposed to feed you at a foster home.
Not send you to school hungry.
There's not always a lot of food.
The lady spends all the money on herself,
and she just has too many of us to take care of.
There's a lot of fighting,
and some of the boys that live there...
You know what that's like.
No, I don't know what that's like.
I can call social services.
No! Don't do that.
Why? What are you afraid of?
I just don't want any trouble.
They'll blame me. They always blame me.
But what do they blame you for, sweetie?
It's not as bad as a lot of the other ones I've been in.
I can take care of myself.
But you do not have to live like that. Do you understand me?
They'll just take me away,
and I'll just have to go to a different school and start all over again.
It's okay.
You shouldn't be living like this, Epyck.
And I won't get to see you anymore.
Please don't call.
Please.
All right, honey. All right.
VINCE: Jess, it was unbelievable!
I mean, they got Jacuzzis. They have five pools.
Two on the outside and three on the inside,
so if it's hot, you outside. If it's cold, you on the inside.
I mean, it was great. They got Xboxes by the locker room.
Half-time, if I wanna play, I'm playing.
Oh, if you wanna play at half-time?
The setup is nuts. It is.
At least somebody had fun today,
'cause I know I got my ass interrogated by Coach at practice
'cause you didn't show up.
I mean, was he mad?
I mean, I know he's usually mad.
Okay, he was mad. Yeah. What the hell you think?
Of course he was mad.
How the hell are we supposed to have practice
without the quarterback being there?
I had to. No, you didn't have to.
I had to leave, okay, Jess.
Uh-uh, that's bull... They're gonna offer me.
What do you mean?
Coach Bailey said, you know, it's between me and this other guy,
but if I give them a verbal now...
Whoa, back... Back up.
You... You spoke to the coach?
Well, I mean, I heard him say it.
That's against the rules!
No, it's not. It was an unofficial visit.
Your dad said that?
You know what? They want me, Jess. And you should be happy for me.
All right. I'm sorry.
Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I was.
I just didn't want you to have to lie for me.
That's what I don't understand.
If this is all okay and it's unofficial visit, why you gotta lie about it?
I don't. It's just...
It's complicated.
Vince, don't tell me it's complicated. I'm not stupid!
You don't have to worry.
All you gotta say is, "Congratulations,
"star quarterback of Oklahoma Tech."
Congratulations, star.
Thank you.
Well, that wasn't how I'd hoped to meet your dad.
That was... That was dumb.
I shouldn't have come here. Derek, what are we doing here?
I don't know if your mom told you, but I, uh,
quit my job.
I'm gonna take some time off and go to my family's cabin in Tennessee
to finish my dissertation.
I think I'm gonna be able to focus a lot better up there.
There won't be so many distractions, you know?
We had a connection.
Didn't we?
I mean, I thought we had a real connection.
And the older you get, the more you're gonna realize how rare that is.
Is it the same kind of connection that you had with your wife?
Or was it the different kind of connection
that you had with all the girls before me?
Julie, no.
Do you realize what an ass I made of myself?
How your wife came in and humiliated me in front of my whole dorm?
We're getting a divorce.
Because of me?
I don't know,
but I know I'm not in love with her.
Julie, you need to go back to school. It's where you belong.
You're gonna be fine.
I promise.
I wrote down the address
in Tennessee.
I just want you to take it.
That's all. Just take it.
If you ever need anything, my door is always open.
Hmm. Mmm.
Yes. Mmm.
Yes. It's your morning.
(GROANS) (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Yes? Come in, honey!
Hey. Hey.
Morning. I didn't mean to wake you guys up.
TAMl: We're up.
I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going back to school.
I, um... I talked to Derek.
And before you say anything, it was just honestly what I needed.
After talking to him, I realized that
I just really belong at school and I'm kind of wasting my life here.
And I'm sorry for all the BS I put you guys through.
It wasn't fair.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks.
So, can I make you guys some breakfast?
Did you hear that?
Can you make some coffee? Yeah.
TAMl: Thanks, honey.
When is she leaving?
Honey.
(SIGHS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
Hey, guy. Hey.
How you feeling?
Jess told me that you weren't feeling well.
Figured since you missed practice, you damn well might be dying.
No, uh... It was my mom.
Your mom?
Yeah, she's been, um... That old habit
kind of got picked up again and she was a little sick, so I was the only person...
I understand. You don't have to explain yourself.
You know, if you need anything, you can count on me.
Yes. Yes, sir.
Everything's all right?
Yeah. I won't be missing any more practices though.
Next time something comes up, a situation, let somebody know.
Yes, sir. That'd be fine.
I got class.
You better get to it then.
Yes, sir.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
Hey. WINONA: Hi.
I'm Tami Taylor. I'm the counselor at Epyck's school.
Thank you.
WINONA: This isn't the first time Epyck has lied about her situation here.
I don't know why she does it.
Maybe it's an attention thing.
I don't know.
Kids, come get your lunch!
(CHILDREN YELLING)
Oh, my.
WINONA: Okay, here we go.
Good job.
All right, TJ, chips for you. You take the water.
That's right. Thanks, sweetie.
Now, eat your apples first.
Well, I must say, this isn't exactly what she described.
Epyck can be a sweet girl.
I think so.
The little ones love her.
She's had a tough life though.
Lost both her parents to AIDS.
Lived on the street. Abused, addicted, you name it.
She deserves a lot of credit.
(SIGHS)
But she is a handful.
(GLASS THUDDING) Uh-oh!
TAMl: Oh, whoops! It's okay.
I got it, babe.
Oh, shoot.
Sorry.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, no.
Let me ask you a question. Are there any older boys here?
(CHUCKLES) Honey...
These are the only boys here.
(TAMI CHUCKLES)
All right, let's get you some more water.
How about that?
Come on in. How you doing?
Yeah, you wanted to see me? Yeah, come on in.
Hey, how's your mom doing? She all right?
Yeah, she's, um... She's better.
Good. Good.
Hey, let me ask you something.
You recognize that photo?
Coach, I was... How was Oklahoma?
I was gonna tell you about... Don't.
I'm sure your father has your best interests in mind,
but I'll tell you something.
He's driving you in the wrong direction.
That offer, whatever it is, I guarantee you it's worth nothing.
Coach, what else you want me to do?
This is important to me. This is my future.
He's looking out for me right now.
Nobody else is looking out for me.
You're knocking on the wrong doors.
I don't have any more to say.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING) How's that look?
More. Like, seriously.
Okay, Stevie and Billy say, "Hi," and "Good luck."
All right, now let's do something about your boobs. Lift up your boobs.
Need to be up, up. No, that's against the rules.
Picture.
(WOMEN LAUGHING)
You are so cute, I can't even stand it.
(DOOR CLOSING)
Hey. How are you?
TAMl: Mind if I join you?
There's laws against stalking.
Well, you're pretty easy to find.
I believe you're the only person in this place.
And your foster mom told me I'd find you here.
I heard you came over.
Why'd you lie to me?
(SCOFFS)
Did you know you don't have to lie to me?
I actually like you. (SCOFFS)
Right.
No.
Look at me.
You're strong, and you're smart,
and you're feisty.
I believe you have a future.
Everybody needs help.
You got a roof over your head.
I know you got food to eat.
And now you got me.
You're not gonna make a difference.
I am who I am.
I don't know about that.
I might try a little soup.
Don't leave.
Before I announce the runner-ups,
I want y'all to give a big hand to the girls up here.
You're all winners!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
I love you, Becky!
Becky!
And the second runner-up
for Miss Young Texas is...
Becky Sproles!
Oh, come on!
(MINDY'S FRIENDS BOOING) AMBER: This is horse crap!
ANNOUNCER: It's okay, ladies. It's a family show.
(WOMEN BOOING)
Hey, calm down. It's all right, girls.
It's okay. It's all right. There's more to come.
I think you should take a hard look at the company you keep.
Congratulations, Becky. Thank you.
You told me you wanted me working with the safeties.
It's just a new blitz package.
CROWLEY: Coach, you've got to let all of us know.
You can't freestyle this thing.
Yes, sir. You almost got it fixed?
We're good. So, which one am I doing?
You do what Crowley says, that's what you do.
Four-three. Stay in your drop.
Ready, set, hut!
(WHISTLE BLOWING)
Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing, huh?
You don't hit him when he's got that shirt on. You understand me?
You don't hit my quarterback when he's got that red shirt on!
LUKE: Yes, sir.
Get your ass over there!
What's wrong with you, boy? You get by on cheap shots?
Hey! Hey!
VINCE: What's wrong with you?
We went over that in practice yesterday, buddy.
Oh, you weren't at practice yesterday. That's right.
How was Oklahoma?
You trying to be funny?
How was Oklahoma?
Hey, the two of you back off!
Take a break.
Take a break! I'll see you later, superstar.
All right.
(WHISTLE BLOWING)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
DEREK ON SPEAKER: Hey. You're up early.
I need to know something.
Did you come to Dillon to get me to go back to school or just to get me back?
The second thing.
That's what I thought.

(MEN ARGUING)
MAN: I mean, I had no clue. The same thing with Vince.
It's like, take a damn knee, man. What are you doing?
ORNETTE: Hear it out. He hear it out.
I wanted him to hear it out.
I'm sorry, can I have you for a second?
Yeah. I'll see you around.
I'd love to see that tape. (LAUGHS)
How's everything going? It's good.
How was Oklahoma?
It was real nice, man. Yeah, thank you for asking.
I won't have any one player bigger than my team.
Vince misses another practice, I'll bench him.
Now is that what you, uh, told your boy down at Shane State...
That you all about the team?
(CHUCKLES)
No, you didn't think I knew that there, did you?
Yeah.
See, I know that, uh, they been calling you every day.
They wouldn't do that if they didn't think they had a shot.
So come on, man. Come on. Come on.
Don't tell me all this bull about you all about the team.
Come on, now.
I know better than that.
Mr. Howard. Yeah?
I mean what I say.
Okay.
(MUFFLED CHEERING)
Don't tell me I have no respect for the game.
I been coaching since you were born.
What is your problem with me?
I don't like the way you do it.
You know what? You're an old-ass man, okay?
(BOTH YELLING)
You have no respect!
Cheap shots when somebody's not looking. What's the matter?
You don't know how to take a hit, now?
All right, well, I'm looking now, you do it again.
All right, buddy, listen. What?
The minute you start playing and acting like a part of this team,
then I'll start treating you like part of this team.
You better get... Man, you coaching at me again?
(ALL ARGUING)
Shut up!
Shut up.
ANNOUNCER: ... and Luke Cafferty.

how to have pride in East Dillon High again.
