You'll be...
You'll run on a treadmill.
Come on, that'll be fun.
Damn it.
Have you been wearing those
all season?
- Since spring.
- What?
Since spring.
Doesn't Sam know enough
to get you decent shoes?
Take better care of my runner.
Ah, well, he's not
your runner yet.
Don't try to wind me up like that.
It doesn't even work anymore.
Obviously, he is physically talented,
but his running is all nerves.
He runs every race
like his life depends on it.
You can't coach that.
Well, did you read the printout?
His VO2 is Olympic-caliber.
ideal for the mile to 5K.
Nobody can screw that up.
Understood, Coach.
You have to tell me
if you're hurt.
How am I going to know
if you don't tell me?
What were you two arguing about?
Nothing.
We just go back...
Oh, come on, man!
Oh.
- I got you some new shoes.
- No, no, no, I have shoes.
- And now you have new shoes.
- I don't want new shoes.
Well, you're gonna get 'em. Homo sapiens
were not meant to run on concrete.
Look at the Kenyans. They run on dirt
and grass every chance they get.
You have to take care
of your feet!
You have to take care
of yourself.
I can't even put these on you.
Let me get something else.
Last year, you ran over 17
minutes on that course.
How do you drop off
a minute and a half, huh?
What are you doing?
You blood doping?
Hit me.
Come on, hit me!
You'll feel better.
Oh, is that all you got?
better than that.
Do you know why?
Why should I hit you?
Your dad got you into running
when you were what? Eight?
He held you back a year in high school just
so you'd be the best runner in the state.
breathing and sleeping running.
And they just kicked my ass
back to high school.
And here I am, just a nobody,
ruining your daddy's plans.
So, come on, hit me,
chicken-sh*t!
Hit me!
You're crazy.
Come on.
Hit me...
Hey.
You hungry?
Will you... let me follow
you around for the article?
Your running. Your life.
You know?
You're kind of inconsistent.
Well, consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds.
"Foolish consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds."
You know, I just read Emerson in AP English
and now you're quoting him back to me.
Why do you take
those jock classes, huh?
Well, that's where Umber put me.
"That's where Umber put you."
Okay.
God, sometimes, I just wanna...
strangle you.
We're reading
"The Great Gatsby" this week.
You know how he has his...
I guess, schedule?
His improvement exercises?
You know, I think of
you when I read that.
You act so aloof,
but you try harder than anyone.
Why?
There used to be
an elm over there.
You know, Bobby and I, we built a tree
fort, but somebody, somebody cut it down.
Bobby Sickle?
B-S, you wrote...
his initials on your shoes.
They're his shoes.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to...
bring up bad memories.
You know, when I read
about the crash in the papers,
I thought it was the most
awful thing I'd ever...
I wanna be good for you.
- Where were you?
- I was out.
I found the check from the university.
$3,000 is a lot of money.
I'm doing physiological testing
for them.
Are you allowed to do that?
The coaches say that it's fine.
Are they testing
what you're thinking?
No. 'Cause I'm not
doing psychological testing.
I am doing
physiological testing...
I know what the word means.
Look. You're getting
straight As in school.
Your running is amazing.
You just... You never bring
any friends over anymore.
Mom.
I'm not going
to dress in all black
and bring dad's shotgun to school,
if that's you're thinking...
That's not what I meant.
I just don't know
what's going on anymore.
That's because I don't
want to talk to you.
Or Dad. I don't want
to talk to anyone.
You know, the polite
thing to do would be to write
the university a thank-you note.
put a stamp on it for you.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
My old man's gotten worse
since they fired him.
Nothing to do,
but b*tch on my ass.
- Ah, sorry.
- It's all good.
Come on.
One more.
Picture your dad.
Read that to me.
"Kevin Schuler reads scientific
journals as well as Emerson
and is a model of fitness
and good looks."
You could keep going, please.
"He also admits
to having shin splints...
Tendinitis and
gastrointestinal disturbances."
This is stupid.
Why do I have to read this here?
Are you hurt?
Well, it's supposed to hurt.
Running is the highlight
of my day.
If I have a bad day,
a good run saves it for me.
What are you doing?
There's good pain...
and there's hurting yourself.
Go home. Stay there.
No running for two days.
I don't wanna see you
until Friday.
Key on Kevin. And stay ready.
This is a hilly course.
All right, everybody else
is gonna be gassed.
And that last long hill,
that's where we attack.
That's where we win it.
So, let's go on out there and
get us a state championship!
Give me a Gary on three.
One, two, three!
Gary!
Five-two-three!
Five-two-three!
- One-two-three!
- Fight!
- Here comes the...
- Boom!
You see the creek?
I hear you are no good
with rivers and such.
Keep the team together.
All right?
Hey, help each other out.
Get in here. Get in here.
We can win this thing, okay?
On three, give me a woo-hoo!
- One, two, three!
- Woo-hoo!
Yeah.
Ready? Set!
Stay right here
with the devil in you
I can't let you loose
Stare me down,
let the devil in me tame you
You will find
what's lost in me
No one has to know
Lead me down,
let the devil in me show
Ellie!
Ellie! Ellie...
Kevin, you're four minutes late.
Oh, no, I'm here now.
I'm here. I'm here.
You can't come with us, Kevin?
Let's get you home, sweetheart.
- What was that?
Lead me down,
let the devil in me show
Ellie!
Ellie...
Run.
Stop.
Ellie.
You're a state champion!
- You nailed that sucker!
- You're a state champion!
- Your runner ran into our boy.
- I'm sorry, it was accidental.
The Athletic Association recommends disqualifying
both runners for poor sportsmanship.
Official Bledsoe,
this is a big pack.
You know, there's
going to be some bumping.
Come on, you can't make that call.
It's a state championship.
Run the race ten times.
Nobody would beat him.
Do you have anything
to say for yourself?
I'm guilty.
Halt, just a gosh damn minute!
He doesn't know what he's saying.
He can hardly breathe.
Oh, sh*t.
Come on. He's got no oxygen.
Come on. Coach.
Good job, son. Congratulations.
- Why did you run him down?
- 'Cause he deserved it.
That's the stupidest thing
I've ever heard.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I mess up
our package deal to State?
What are you talking about?
If I run for Rowan at State,
you're hired, right?
You think I don't figure
this sh*t out?
I don't really care about that, man. I just
want you to be able to see what you have.
