I have feelings for Vince.
You've always wanted
to go to a great school
your whole life.
I am just here to support you.
I want you
to be my friend, Becks.
And you being my friend
means you're
a part of my family.
Tim, I barely know your family.
I know.
I promise you
that they will be there.
You're looking
at about one to five years.
You referred her
to an abortion clinic.
I want her fired.
What I'm saying is I'd like
to go where I'm needed.
East Dillon Lions have
defeated the Dillon Panthers.
Good morning, Dillon.
Well, it's August, folks.
And don't you just love
summer in Texas?
sweating like a *** in church.
The big topic
on everyone's mind this week
is this weekend's
Whataburger football classic.
The East Dillon Lions
will be there,
even though Eric Taylor won
his title with the panthers.
They're the only team
going with a losing record.
So how do y'all feel
about that, Dillon?
Are these lions but lambs
headed for the slaughter?
Or will they be Cinderella
at the dance?
Yeah, it was really nice
meeting you, sort of.
And, um, I'll see you
in a few days.
Uh-huh.
O-okay.
Bye.
SoHow is she?
- Tell me everything.
- Uh, well
My roommate's name is Kim,
and she's from Corpus.
That's not really everything.
You could give me
a little more info,
considering I don't actually
get to meet her in person.
I'd love to have
a little bit more of the scoop.
Mom, we talked about this.
I know you guys
want to drive me there,
but it's not
that big of a deal.
Honey, it is a big deal.
You are going to college.
That's a big deal.
I am excited
about this season, people.
These lions are a team
of destiny I can feel it.
I don't care what anybody says,
we are going to give Croft
a serious run
for their money this week.
- Line one, go ahead.
- Yeah, buddy.
What are we gonna do about
that all-district qb in there?
When our defense gets through
with that quarterback,
Cody Pearl,
he is going to, uh, wish
he went back into his shell.
- That's right, baby.
- I'll tell you that right now.
- We got some open lines
- Stan
Is this supposed
to be a nickel package?
Yeah
I think so.
The only problem with that
is we're playing a 4-3,
aren't we?
- Well, yeah, but I was
- You got the practice plan
for this afternoon?
I can rub something out.
We got a game in three days.
I do not like
the way this is starting out.
I do not like
the way this is starting out.
And turn off that damn radio.
Me and Min and Stevie,
we went to, uh,
New Braunfels earlier this year.
ManTime flies, huh?
Yeah.
So, uh, you got, I guess,
about three months left, right?
Yeah, on good behavior.
And you've been good, so
Yeah, not many options.
You know, uh, I-I was talking
to Min the other day,
and I've actually been thinking
about maybe coaching
some football.
What happened to Riggins' rigs?
Riggins' rigs is fine.
You know, this would be
more just to, like, volunteer.
You know, to
Give something back.
The way I look at it,
I was kind of like
a coach to you, right?
Coach was my coach, Billy.
Yeah.
What do you think?
You think it's, like, a
Yeah, have at her.
You could be a little
more enthusiastic, you know?
I'm sorry, Billy,
but I'm in prison,
and I don't think
I can be your
number-one cheerleader
- at the moment.
- I'm sorry.
Look, I want you to know
That there's not
a day that goes by
that I don't think
about what you did
for me and my family.
There's not a second of a day
that goes by
that I don't think about that.
I just wanna, you know
Change my life a little bit.
I don't wanna be the Billy
that I used to be.
- That concludes visiting hours.
- Okay, people, time to go.
- Keep the pics, man.
- Not allowed.
You gotta mail them through.
That's right.
I'm sorry.
You know you don't have
to come as often as you do.
I'll see you in a few days.
Also, if you see Becky,
I'd appreciate it
if you'd just tell her the same.
If I see her,
I'll let her know.
Appreciate it.
All right,
next on the line item budget
is the science department.
I'm thinking the science lab
takes the hit,
and we move
the money to textbooks.
- The budget is due on Friday.
- Yeah, the budget.
Wake us up
when you're finished.
Next item
Our new guidance counselor.
People, Tami Taylor.
Thanks, y'all.
Well, I'm just
I'm so happy to be here.
And I'm real excited to work
with every single one of you.
So it's gonna be
a great, great school year.
Great year.
We're still working
on her office situation,
so she'll be downstairs
behind all the administration.
So you'll
know where to find me.
- Anytime.
- Moving on to bus schedules.
I'm sorry, excuse me, Levi.
Is this is this the time
when we can make suggestions
or comments or what have you?
- I just had a quick thought
- Mm-hmm.
As we go into this school year.
I did a little research
about what y'all
were doing with your college
admissions last year,
and at west Dillon,
we found that when
we used handwritten letters
for recommendations,
it made an enormous difference
in our college admissions.
So I know, I know.
I know it's
a little bit extra work.
But it really, really did
make a difference,
in terms of our admissions.
So something for us
to think about this year.
- Thank you, Tami.
- Mm-hmm.
Levi, I would like
to know why I have Epyck
in my homeroom again.
You're gonna bring that up now?
- I had her last semester.
- And I had her first semester.
Look, Levi, you know
how I feel about her.
She's a complete nightmare.
I just wish she wouldn't
even show up to school.
- It'd be a lot easier.
- Whoa, whoa, okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Please back me up.
Don't act like
you guys like her.
We'll move on to mathematics.
- What's up, baby?
- Hey.
- Mm.
- Mm.
How you doing?
Ooh, you sweaty.
You sweaty.
Hey!
Okay, Andre
Water is not meant to be
in your brother's pants.
- Take it out.
- They're just having fun.
- Let them have fun.
- Bratty little rug rat.
I cannot wait
until school begins again,
so they can stop
driving me crazy.
Well, when's
your dad coming back?
Sunday.
I swear,
it feels like
he's been gone forever.
Andre's such a pain
when he's gone.
Hmm.
So is aunt Berta inside?
No, she went
to the grocery store.
Why?
I just figured you needed
some help with the laundry.
- I-I could use
some help inside, yeah.
Okay, come on.
Leave that, leave that.
Wait, wait!
I got it.
Come on.
We'll be back, y'all.
Y'all take care.
Ooh, they're gonna do it!
Hey, scram!
Beat it, beat it!
Ooh!
So how long
are you gonna be gone?
I don't know, Becks,
a couple weeks.
You know, maybe longer.
I gotta make a living.
Load comes in, I go.
That's how it works.
Yeah, but what
am I supposed to do?
Spend some time with Doreen,
get to know
your baby half sister.
Look
All right, I know you
might be a little nervous,
and you might be scared.
Your mom's not gonna be
on that casino boat forever,
and she's making good money,
and she'll be back here
before you know it,
and she's
gonna have lots of cash.
So I don't know,
maybe we'll we'll get you
some new clothes or something.
All right, I put you
some lunchables and Red Bull
and lots of Nicorette.
We don't want da-da
chain-smoking
on the road, little baby.
Yeah.
Mm.
- You guys have fun, all right?
- Bye.
- Everybody get along.
- Yeah, hurry back.
Bye.
There he goes.
Say bye-bye, daddy.
I played this game
a long time, coach.
You know, it's it's
practically in my blood.
Well, you know there's
a big difference
between coaching
and playing, though.
I mean
Look
Can I be honest with you?
I want this job real bad.
And it's not
because of the football.
I mean, obviously
that that plays a big part,
but I respect you, sir.
I respect what you stand for.
You're a molder of men.
And what, with me,
having a new baby
and being
a father and all, I just
I think it'd be
really good for me
to be around somebody
like you right now.
Damn it, listen
I don't have
many funds available.
We just pulled spivey
on last week.
All I'm asking for
is a shot, coach.
I promise.
I won't let you down.
Save me from your plan ♪
before I start
to think again ♪
You don't have
to be that flashy, Jimmy.
A little bit goes a long way.
But that's other
than that, it sounds good.
Hey, check these out.
I went to Kinko's today,
and I got these printed up.
And these are
really nice paper too.
- "The Last Waltz"?
- Do you like it?
- Do you not like these?
- I think it's a great idea.
The La
I like the name.
It's our kind of last hurrah.
I mean, are you okay with this?
Because you're leaving on
Friday for college.
Yeah, I know that.
You don't need to pack
and stuff on Thursday?
No, my mom packed me,
like, a month ago.
So I'm all ready to go.
I thought y'all
would be a little bit
more excited about this.
I mean, this is big.
This is gonna be
our biggest show yet.
People are gonna be talking
about this for years to come.
They're gonna tell
their grandkids about it,
and then their grandkids
are gonna tell
their grandkids about it.
It's gonna be the biggest show
in Dillon ever.
Jimmy, you might even get laid.
Look at this.
Look at this.
Watch this.
Buddy, if you
would just tell me
why you dragged me here,
I'd appreciate it.
Vince is
a damn good quarterback.
But he needs someone
to throw to, doesn't he?
He's 6'2".
Look at the hands on this kid.
And he can jump.
Here you go.
Here you go.
Look at the legs on him.
But watch this.
Watch this.
- Yeah.
- Can he jump or what?
He's the white kid.
What'd you say his name was?
Hastings Ruckle.
What the hell
kind of name is Ruckle?
Welsh.
Attaboy.
What's the most
you ever made in a row?
You ever play football?
- Who, me?
- Yeah, you.
You ever play football?
You're going over to east.
Why don't you
come try out for me?
'Cause then I'd have to deal
with a bunch of roided-up
tool bags trying toHit me.
Football's stupid.
Football's stupid?
What's stupid about football?
For starters, it celebrates
the worst instincts
of American culture.
- And what's that?
- Aggression, violence
No, no, what football celebrates
is teamwork and character,
if executed properly.
That's what it celebrates.
I don't like
all that equipment either.
- Equipment?
- Yeah.
Like pads and helmets
and cups
You don't wear cups
in football, son.
I like to hang free and easy,
you know.
- Where you from?
- All over.
Family moves around
a lot for work, so
Well, you live in Texas now.
You love the game of football.
You just don't know it yet.
Honey, look at this.
I have so many arrest reports
in these files.
This girl is a senior
and has never seen
a guidance counselor,
has never taken her PSATs
I You know, this is
a much worse situation
- than I thought it was.
- You know what, honey?
You can't solve all
those problems in one day.
You're not
the big cheese anymore.
So you just gonna have
to follow the rules
- and take it slowly.
- And what about you,
speaking of following rules?
Are you stealing
a basketball player?
Yes, I'm stealing
a basketball player.
But I'm doing it
one step at a time.
- Julie, it's breakfast time!
- Morning.
Morning, honey.
Morning.
So, mom, I still really need
to go shopping
for my school stuff.
Oh, I know, I know.
I'm I'm trying
to figure it out, okay?
Like, yesterday
we needed to go shopping.
So if you wanted to
just give me your credit card
I am not giving you
my credit card,
for the hundredth time.
- I'm gonna cook ribs tonight.
- I think we're gonna be able
- to do it today, though.
- Why are you cooking ribs?
- I don't eat ribs.
- I think we can do it
this afternoon, all right?
You think, or you know?
I'm trying
to make that happen, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
- Okay.
Yep.
What?
I'm gonna miss this.
For those of you
who don't know me,
I'm, uh, Billy Riggins.
Uh, I'm gonna be helping out
with the DBs
and working with special teams.
I look forward
to getting to know
those of you that I don't know.
And, uh, that's about it.
All right, listen up now, here's
Well, one other thing.
I also wanted to say
that, uh, I've heard some rumors
that this Cody Pearl kid
from Croft
is gonna throw the ball
all over us this week,
that we got no chance
of beating this team.
I just wanna remind you guys
of a little quote
by one of my heroes
a guy named Ronnie Lott
that I wanted to, uh,
read you guys.
Uh, "if you can believe it,
your mind can achieve it.
"
All right?
All right.
All right, coach.
Coach Riggins, now
Give him a hand, guys.
Let's go.
"Lions" on three.
- One, two, three.
- Lions.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Vince, Luke, come here.
Coach?
Yeah.
Y'all know this new kid,
the basketball player, Hastings?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, white boy can jump.
I wanna make sure that
he tries out for this team.
I wanna see him
out here on this field.
The hippie?
What for?
You like winning games, Vince?
- Yes, sir.
- Me too.
Maybe give you a chance
to throw the ball
to someone other than him.
So you, like, want us
to recruit him for you or?
Look, I don't need to know
whatever it is you do.
Just get him out here
to try out for me.
- All right?
- All right.
You can count on us, coach.
We'll do it.
Five, six, seven
This is the stack
of the most at-risk kids
that I was able to find so far.
Now, my plan is
Hey, how are you?
My plan is to go and call
every single one
of the parents
every single one of them
try to set up a meeting
with them in here,
'cause, you know,
that's where it starts.
Gotta start at home.
Get the parents involved
right from the beginning.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Well, why not?
You know, I mean, look at this.
This is that girl Epyck
two "F"s, three incompletes.
I mean, these kids
are just being forgotten.
Um, Tami, it's a matter
of resources, okay?
Well, I hear you.
But, hey, that's the thing.
Guess what?
- Um
- I'm your resource.
I'm here now.
This isn't
your problem, you know.
You don't have
to deal with this.
- I wanna deal with this.
- Good.
Duly noted.
I just wanna ask you
one quick thing.
Yeah?
I'm gonna need
a phone that works.
Listen to that.
Oh.
All right.
Resources.
Daddy was originally
supposed to open
just one franchise.
- He's now opening three.
- That's a good thing.
Wait, so he's not coming back?
Not anytime soon, at least.
You know,
he's talking about getting
some corporate apartment
in Dallas
and having us come visit him
on the weekend.
Mm, that sucks.
I'm sorry.
I know how much you miss him.
Yeah, but, you know, it's
like he's supposed to be here
- Mm-hmm.
- You know, especially for them.
I don't know especially the way
Andre's been acting lately.
It's just bad timing.
You know,
coach wants us to recruit
this kid for the team.
Luke's parents is out of town,
so we're throwing
this big party
at the ranch tonight.
You should come.
Help us sweet-talk him.
Well
I was supposed
to be working tonight, so
Don't worry about it, baby.
I can watch the boys.
You go on and go, now,
you hear?
- Okay.
- All right.
All right, so I'll go.
Who's this guy again?
Uh, he's not the punter.
You wouldn't
really be interested.
Mm.
That was a good one.
You're a jerk.
You're a jerk.
You know that Matthew
calls me every week?
- Every Wednesday
- That's nice.
After inside edition.
That's good.
- Count on it.
- Boy, it's quiet in here.
Yeah.
It sure is quiet, honey.
That is the cleanest
I have ever seen his room.
- It sure is.
- Yeah.
I miss that guy.
Oh, this is nice, isn't it?
I just love company.
Yeah, well, you know,
I just figured
I just stopped by
I'm kind of going around
saying all my good-byes,
you know,
before I head off
to college and whatnot.
- Oh, yeah.
- I couldn't leave
without saying good-bye
to my lady.
And you're going off
to college now.
- I am.
- Rice university, right?
That's good.
Good job, you remembered.
Yeah, over in Dallas.
That's S.
M.
U.
Rice is in Houston.
- Oh, that's right.
- Close.
That's right.
Well, I guess
I better be going.
- You gotta go.
- Thank you for the tea.
Oh, you don't have to get up.
- You're fine.
- Well, the hell I don't.
Now, you come over here.
I'm gonna hug your neck.
I'm gonna hug your neck, boy.
You're a good boy.
Thank you.
Now, just a heads-up,
you need to keep
both your eyes on this one.
She likes to wander off
and go to the dance hall.
Don't listen to him, Heather.
She likes to cut a rug.
Listen to me.
I'm warning you.
And, Landry, also I want you
to keep on doing that music,
- that crucifixTorious, yep.
- Crucifictorious.
I have got
Put it in my M.
P.
player.
Well, Heather did it for me.
It's in there, huh?
I can listen to it
anytime I want to.
Well
You take care.
You be careful.
- Okay, bye-bye.
- Bye-bye, sweetie.
He's a good boy.
Yeah, it's good.
It's how we chew.
See?
It's good.
You're doing it wrong.
You gotta cut it up
smaller for her.
I don't think she likes it.
You trying to choke her?
Move.
It's all right, baby.
It's all right.
Come here, baby.
It's okay.
You shouldn't smoke
in the house.
It's unhealthy for the baby.
We don't need your help.
- You've done enough.
- Sorry.
It's all right, baby.
It's all right.
It's okay.
Oh, I understand that
completely, Mrs.
Dozier,
but I'd just love to talk to you
about the year for Tyrell,
see if we can get him to do
a little bit better this year.
Okay, wonderful.
I'll see you then.
Thank you so much.
Bye-bye.
Good lord.
It's like
I'm asking these people
to come in
for a colonoscopy test.
School hasn't
even started yet, honey.
Well, I know,
but you've been doing
two-a-days
for a month already.
Yeah, but football's
a lot more fun
than a physical examination
of the colon, though.
Well, I guess that depends
on the game, doesn't it?
- Argh.
- I got cobbler!
You want some cobbler, girls?
Um, I think I'm actually gonna
have to pass on the cobbler.
Why?
Well, it's Landry's
last concert tonight
for his band, and he's
leaving tomorrow morning,
so I promised him I'd go.
But we were
having our family time.
Yeah, no,
we've had family time.
We've been here
for the last hour and a half
talking and eating.
You've been watching
the time on your phone?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm just saying his band
started an hour ago,
and if I don't leave soon,
then I'm gonna be late.
And I really
don't wanna be late,
'cause it's his last night.
You know what? Fine.
Just go on.
- Go on.
- Thank you for dinner.
You can't sit down
for 15 minutes
- and have some dessert?
- Just save some dessert for me.
Your mother made cobbler.
And I really appreciate it,
and I appreciate the dinner,
but I have to be a good friend,
and I promised him I'd go.
- I love you guys.
- All right.
Go on.
I'll see you guys later.
Not till I saw him fall ♪
Save me from your plan ♪
before I start
to think again ♪
Hastings, listen,
East is legit, all right?
Coach has got stroke.
He knows how to build a winner.
You play for us,
you'll get noticed.
- Weren't you guys
Yeah, so what?
Oh, dude.
You know you have to
You have to meet Maribelle.
- Come here, I gotta show you.
- Cafferty, no.
You're gonna love her.
She's new too Come here.
See the width of these
shoulders, high set tail?
Her daddy was
a reserve grand champion.
Look at her.
Look at her, man.
Hey, kiss her, Tink.
Love her.
Yeah, kiss her.
Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her.
You wanna touch her?
Come on, you can touch her.
- All right, you're up.
- Me?
- How'd I get in this?
- Because
You're the hot girl
that gets football.
Babe, you're irresistible.
So just turn on that girl charm
and go over there
and make it happen.
- You know you're an idiot?
- I know.
You got a lot of confidence
in this girl charm.
It's not gonna work.
People sit here
and they compliment me
- on that pig every single time
- Okay, come here.
- Come here.
- Wait.
Oh, this is
Come here.
Yeah, hi.
- It's Jess, right?
- Yeah.
Um, yeah, so, listen,
these guys have been talking
about you all day long.
My boyfriend asked me
to come over here
and kind of work
my girl charm on you,
get you to sign up
and join the football team.
Like hell that's gonna happen.
What'd you do, hmm?
Why don't you
just stop playing games?
Sign up and join
the football team.
These guys needing me is
just making me a little sweaty.
Sweaty?
Yeah, like, uh, stressed out.
I like knowing that
I can do whatever I want.
You know, I'm a free spirit.
Oh, okay.
That's one way of putting it.
And how would you put it?
Coward.
All right.
I-I said my piece.
Much luck, okay?
Yeah.
I'm actually gonna
miss this place.
Miss Dillon?
No, I'm gonna miss
the alamo freeze
and all of their
cool treats and hot eats.
I used to come here
all the time
and just annoy
the hell out of Matt
make him give me
all the French fries,
all the blizzards,
and then make fun
of his goofy little white hat
that he thought he looked
so professional in.
I miss his little white hat.
God, how lame are we right now?
We're sitting here
on our last night,
talking about
your boyfriend in Chicago.
- Ex-boyfriend.
- Whatever.
- I can't keep up with
- And technically,
it's not my last night here.
Okay, well, my point is,
is I just always pictured,
you know,
my last night
in Dillon to be
I don't know, epic in some way.
You want epic?
Sure.
Julie, Julie.
Julie, come here.
I really think
that she likes me.
You think so?
Hey.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, um, I'm gonna go, okay?
- I'm gonna go.
- Okay.
Wait, wait.
- Keep money for a cab.
- You're gonna go?
- Where are you going?
- Keep money
- for the cab fare, okay?
- All right.
Wait, can I have just
one quick second, candy?
Um, Julie
I just want you
to know that you are
You are an amazing person.
Anything you set your mind to,
you can do it.
Thank you
for those words of wisdom.
I think you've got
a bright future ahead of you.
Candy's waiting for you.
So be safe.
Keep some money
for the cab fare.
Okay.
I'll see you at Christmas.
You stay golden, Julie Taylor.
Bye, Landry.
I wanna know
absolutely everything
there is to know about you.
- Hey, honey.
- Hey.
Did you have
a good time tonight?
Yeah.
- It was nice.
- Okay.
You know you didn't
have to wait up, right?
I know I'm just watching some tape,
getting ready
for tomorrow's game.
Okay, well,
I'm gonna go to bed.
- Good night.
- Hey, come here.
Put your purse down.
Shh, I got an idea.
Where the hell are they?
You know we don't
have to do this, right?
You think I'm gonna
send you off to school
without having a final
championship ping-pong game,
you're crazy.
Oh, my God.
Do you remember this?
- I was so tiny.
- Let me see that.
Look at those.
Oh.
I'm gonna miss getting sick
eating all
those cookies with you.
Ha!
- You sure we're all right here?
- You bet, coach.
Change "basketball"
to "football.
"
He enrolls in school on Monday,
we're good.
This is crazy.
You don't wanna do this, son.
You get hurt, your season's over
even before it starts.
If the kid wants
to play football,
- he wants to play football.
- Just back off.
- Coach.
- What's going on, Frank?
I don't understand
why I can't just play both.
You wanna play both?
You can play both.
As soon as playoffs are over
Like you're gonna make the playoffs.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
take it easy there, chief.
Look, this is not for you, man.
Just drop the pads.
Walk away.
Football is not for you,
all right?
Hey, Rims, get on the bus.
- Rims, get on the bus.
- Come on.
Hastings, Hastings, Hastings
You're making a mistake, son.
All right!
Welcome to the Whataburger
Kickoff Classic, folks
our first game of the season,
featuring reigning
state champion,
the Croft Cowboys,
against the lowly Lions
of East Dillon.
With a record
of 2-8 last year,
coach Eric Taylor's team
takes the field
as a huge underdog tonight.
The question isn't,
can they win?
It's, can they even compete?
Get defense going!
Cody Pearl back in the pocket.
Got his man on the corner
route touchdown.
Can't say
you didn't expect this.
Cody Pearl is tearing
this Lions secondary to pieces.
- Crush him up.
- Pearl, back in the pocket,
looking deep
Oh, he's got a man.
Fires a big ball.
Here we go.
Got it Touchdown.
And just like
everyone expected,
these lions are in big trouble.
You can see
the frustration already
on coach Taylor's face.
Lions coming out, Howard's
gotta getting something going.
There's the snap, looking deep.
He's got a man
on the crossing route.
Oh, and the receiver
can't make the catch.
My, oh, my, I wanna hang
my head and cry.
- 525 wheel.
- 525 wheel? All right.
There's the snap.
Vince Howard in the spread
Cafferty swings right.
Howard's looking deep,
directing traffic.
Got a man.
Oh, nice little ball.
Oh, another incompletion.
And the Lions' weakness
at wide receiver
is really being
exposed out there.
Howard back again.
He's looking.
Oh, got a little light.
Here we go, folks.
- Go, go.
- Vince Howard makes his move.
Cuts up field.
Vince Howard
Oh, my!
Touchdown, Lions!
Looks like we got us
a little glimmer of light
on an otherwise
very dark evening
- for the East Dillon Lions.
- Yeah.
Second quarter,
Lions down by three scores.
They need to get
something going, folks.
Cowboys breaking the huddle.
Cafferty, you gotta
stay with him!
Cafferty
at the Mike linebacker.
Pearl under center.
Ready, set
Hut oneHike!
There's the snap.
Cody's setting up.
Got a man across
the middle, fires.
Oh! Picked off!
Picked off! Interception!
It's coming
the other way, folks.
Pearl trying
to make the tackle.
Oh, my!
And Cafferty
lays Cody Pearl out.
Touchdown Lions.
And what a turnaround.
East was looking
at being down 28-7.
Down by 14, here we go.
Way to go, way to go, baby.
Way to go, way to go.
Let's go.
Cody Pearl
is still down, folks.
Luke Cafferty
just laid him flat out.
- What a huge hit.
- Hey, coach.
Let's hope this young
warrior's gonna be all right.
Cody Pearl is up.
But if he can't make it back
for the second half,
this might be a real tide-turner
for East Dillon.
I don't want a small.
Andre,
I don't have enough money
for you to get a large.
- Take that.
- I don't want a small.
Can you take this and your
drink and just be happy, please?
I know I can take it,
but I want a large.
Don't you yell at me, okay?
- I can if I want.
- No.
- Take this and leave.
- All right, fine.
Damn! What the
hell are you doing?
It was an accident, all right?
You need to control
your damn son!
- He ain't my damn son!
- Whatever!
Andre, what's the problem?
You're not my mom.
That's the problem.
Let's go.
Come on.
Let's go!
Get there, Tink.
Get there, Tink.
Oh, oh!
Yeah!
Hey, fumble!
Yo!
There it is, baby!
That's right!
We're back in it.
- How's that feel?
- Good job, big man, good job.
Time!
Time-out!
Time!
Coach.
- I know 17.
- Good.
I used to play basketball
with him.
Good.
- Coach, I can jump 17.
- What?
I can jump higher than 17.
I can catch that.
He's got nothing on me.
I can jump.
Let's go, coach.
What's the call?
What's the call?
Trips right, center post.
Trips right, center post.
- Do you understand me?
- Yeah.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yeah, totally.
I got it.
Can you do me a favor?
Do the best you can.
Trips right, center post.
It looks like coach Taylor
is sending in number 88.
That's
Ruck Ruckle, Buckle.
Head straight
for that goalpost, all right?
- See the ball, catch it.
- Where do I stand?
- Where do I stand?
- Ruckle.
Hastings Ruckle.
Center post on one.
Ready, break.
Let's go, come on.
Come here, come here, come here.
Stand right here.
What's he doing?
Ruckle looks
a little lost out there.
But this is it, folks.
Lions with one last shot
to pull off
an upset for the ages.
Ruckle takes off
for the corner.
- Howard looking deep.
- Aw!
Howard scrambling around.
He's gotta get rid of the ball.
Pressure's coming.
Lets it fly.
Got him in the corner.
Hastings has it!
Oh, my Touchdown Lions!
Oh, my word.
That's what I'm talking about.
Here we go.
Wait, wait, wait.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Unbelievable.
And the Croft fans
shock and awe, how do you do?
How could this be happening?
Yes, sir.
Huddle up.
Let's do it, fellas.
Huddle up, huddle up.
You ready?
- I'll tell you what
- Ready, break.
What does that mean?
Same play Do the same thing again.
All right?
Good job, good job.
Taylor going for 2 and the win.
Ready!
Ruckle is still
out on the field.
- Ready, set, hut!
- Howard over center.
He's looking to pass.
Oh!
That's some fancy schmancy!
Look at that, behind the back.
- He's got it!
- Cafferty's in!
Oh, the Lions win!
Lions win!
Oh, the humanity!
And I'll say this tonight.
Alarm bells are going off
all over Texas right now.
These East Dillon Lions
have served notice.
They are a team
to be reckoned with.
This high-school
football season is on.
- You played well.
- You too, coach.
Take care.
East side, East side, East side.
- Champ.
- Hey, Levi.
Hey.
How goes the battle?
Well, you know what?
I think we're
off to a good start.
Good.
I mean, truth be told
I had four no-shows.
But I did have one meeting
and I think
that's something, you know?
Okay, well who's your next one?
UhNikki Diaz.
- Diaz?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah?
Well, I think you're safe
to go ahead and call it a day.
All right.
Are you discouraged?
Uh, yeah, I'm gonna admit
I'm a little bit discouraged.
But, you know, that's all right.
I'm only human.
Don't be.
I get enough
of that around here, okay?
Well, how much longer?
Look, I didn't sign up
for this, okay?
Now, she went out last night,
and God only knows
what time she came back home.
Becky's your daughter,
and it's your damn ex-wife,
so fix it!
First down at the 48,
with 1:35
left in the half.
Nah, little man,
go put that back.
I'm about
to make some sandwiches.
I'm hungry.
Little man,
I'm not gonna say this again.
Go put it back
until I make these sandwiches.
You're not my mom or my dad.
You can't make me!
Okay, I don't wanna be
your mom or your dad.
- Now go to your room.
- No!
Boy! Oh, you think
you can throw stuff at me now?
Baby, I got it, let me
Let me try, all right?
It's okay.
- Dre, come here.
- Ugh!
What's up with you, man?
Nothing.
You feel like
your dad walked out on you?
I don't know.
I get it.
Dre, I haven't seen my father
in five years.
I'd be pissed off too.
Your dad's in jail.
That's true.
But not around
is is not around.
Your dad's off working hard,
making sure
you and your family's
taken care of.
And, Dre, he'll be back.
I promise.
But check this out,
in the meantime,
I'm gonna need you
to do me a favor.
What?
Cut your sister a break.
You know you guys
are a handful,
and she's she's doing
the best she can.
You're just saying that
'cause she's your girlfriend.
See, no, Dre,
this isn't about her.
This is about you.
Your dad's not here.
So you gotta step up.
You're the man
of the house now.
- Hey, Becks.
- Hey, Billy.
What's going on, baby?
Um, I-I need
a place to stay.
YouUh
Do what, now?
I know,
it's just my mom's out of town.
She's been working on this job,
and I've been staying
with my dad and my stepmom,
and I just I can't
I can't do it anymore.
What what happened? Did
did he hurt you or something?
No, no, it's nothing like that.
It's just I really feel
like I don't have
much of a family right now.
- It's okay.
- Well, and Tim said
that if I ever needed anything
that you guys were my family.
- And I just figured
- What's going on?
Um, she she needs
a place to stay.
Okay.
Here?
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Yeah, come on inside.
- Sorry.
- Yeah, we'll take you
back to Tim's
old room, all right?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Um, okay.
So, honey, is that everything?
Uh, yep, I'm pretty sure.
Well, now, if you find
that you left anything,
you just call me, honey.
You know, I'll jump in the car.
I'll be right there.
I've got everything.
Look at you.
I love you.
I love you too, mom.
I'm gonna miss you.
Go knock 'em dead, babe.
Thanks, mom.
I'm sorry I missed your game.
It's for emergencies,
all right?
Okay.
Thank you.
I love you.
Be good.
- Bye, Julie.
- Bye, baby girl.
All right.
Bye, guys.
Oh.
Wow.
