Clemens, the steal.

Move, baby!

Clemens runs down the lane

right of the key.

Flip it out to Cabrera. For three. Good.

Warsaw has come roaring back.

Outside the lane, Clemens, across

to a wide-open Mitch Reinholt for two.

Great pass by Clemens.

Twenty seconds left to play

in the game.

Warsaw's down by one basket.

Looking for the upset,

perhaps, of a lifetime.

It's over!

Warsaw has won the sectional.

They have taken out Columbia City

in the championship.

Unbelievable!

Did you watch your brother out there,

Aaron and Justin?

Did you watch him? He never stopped

believing, even when things got tough.

He kept believing and he won the game.

That was awesome.

Your game has really changed.

What conscious decisions

did you make to turn that around?

I just started passing to my teammates,

trusting my teammates,

and it paid off in the end.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you. Thank you, Roger.

I like you a lot.

I mean, you got a lot of skill.

And I know Coach Gunner's been

talking to you on the phone a lot,

and we're definitely really interested

in having you come over

and take a look

at what we're trying to do...

We're looking forward to coming over.

Very good. We're looking forward to

having you. Okay, we'll see.

Thanks, John.

Hey, Tigers, I'm Colin.

And I'm Erica, and we have your news

for you today, April 27th.

The last chance to sign up for the prom.

You need $60 and

your entrance ticket will be included.

So, please sign up if you're interested.

Okay, about the whole prom thing.

I'd love to go. Like, you have to

understand that. But now I'm with Nate,

and we are going out now, and that is

gonna be really awkward for him.

Sitting at home, saying,

"What is she doing?"

I mean, it's nothing against you or

anything. I can't do that to Nate.

- Yep.

- Okay.

All right.

Okay? Okay.

I'm never gonna find a prom date now.

I just need to get out of town.

Maybe I'll go visit my brother

in San Diego.

Well, Jake. Welcome to Mexico.

Mama comes prepared, boys.

The goal of tonight

is to get my little brother drunk.

I just want to see how he acts.

I don't know.

He's getting ready to go off to college.

I'd much rather

him be drunk with me first

than going off with some people

I don't know to drink. So...

I'm not necessarily proud of it.

Well, yeah, I am.

I want to get him drunk.

Okay, so, the idea of the shot is

to drink the whole thing, right?

And not just sip it.

Bottoms up. That's a baby shot.

Slam it down on the counter. Yeah!

Let's get drunk.

Jake can feel wasted! Yeah.

Hey, he needs one, too!

Slap it, slap it!

Come on! There, right there!

Wasted!

Wake up, Jake.

You need to come in the hot tub, dude.

Hot tub, shmot tub.

I'm trying not to vomit.

Stonehenge Pro Shop, Ali speaking.

- Hello?

- Megan?

- You're on your way?

- I'm hanging out with Geoff.

- Like hanging, hanging out with him?

- Yeah, maybe.

I mean, I like Geoff. He's really nice.

He's just nice to talk to.

So is that liking him?

- Do you want to go to prom with Geoff?

- Yes.

Twenty-ones.

- What you doing?

- I'm checking my messages.

I want to read them.

No, you can't just go on reading

my messages now.

What are you doing?

- I want to read his messages.

- Why?

- I don't know!

- Erasing.

Why does it matter?

- She's curious. She's curious tonight.

- I'm curious.

Let's see who she's talking to.

Fine. Leave me here.

- Dude, it's just weird, you know?

- How is it weird?

It's just kinda weird!

It's like,

best friend, best friend, best friend.

And then it's like,

best friend, best friend.

It's just awkward, it's just like...

Do you want me to back off of Geoff

for some God-unknown reason?

I'm not saying that.

I don't know what I'm saying.

I didn't say anything.

- I came in here to call Bridget.

- Okay, but you've been shitting me.

All right, well,

I just won't get near Geoff.

Did she say something to you?

You said something to her, didn't you?

It wasn't me, though.

Ali approached me!

And said what?

She goes, "What's your problem?"

Say, "Nothing."

I tried to.

She goes, "You're acting really weird

towards me and Geoff."

I said, "You're ignoring me.

You're ignoring me."

She has not come near me

the rest of the night.

Okay, I'll fix it.

Whatever.

I hate you.

It's probably the nicest thing

I've done for her in my life.

Really?

- Thank you.

- I didn't have to do it.

I hate Geoff. I hate Geoff.

Megan's jealous.

- What?

- Geoff.

Geoff, can you leave?

I'd really like you to leave.

- I'd really like to not.

- Geoff, I'd just like you to leave.

- Can you shut the... up?

- Geoff, I... hate you.

- Get over it.

- "Hey, I'm Geoff. I'm ignorant as sh*t."

"Hey, I'm Megan, I'm a... whore."

Geoff is the biggest... licker.

Geoff likes hairy...

Megan doesn't even have a preference,

as long as it's...

- Geoff, we're gonna make noise.

- What about this?

Is that loud enough for you?

Megan, you need to relax.

Listen up, you ass.

I don't want you here.

Now leave.

Ever since Megan got into Notre Dame,

she's on a frigging power trip again.

I'm just, like, over it.

"You know, it was just a joke.

"Sorry if what I did would make you

mad, but I'm not sorry for what I did."

I'm not taking this anymore, you know?

Ali and Geoff completely ditched me.

Now they're not talking to me.

I'm all alone now.

I want you to calculate for me

how much total pressure will go...

Everybody's kind of disappointing me.

I can't wait to get out of here.

I can't wait to get to Notre Dame.

Notre Dame's beautiful.

The quality of people at Notre Dame are

different from, like, a lot of universities.

There really are whole people that go

to Notre Dame, and caring people.

You go there

and you get this sense of unity.

It's unbelievable

how close the kids are there,

and the connection that they have.

It'll be a completely different lifestyle.

Better.

I'm very excited.

I've been looking forward to this day

for a couple weeks now.

I'm going up to Chicago to pick up

Leslie at the airport.

Leslie is a girl that I met

at my brother's wedding.

She lives in San Diego.

I've had a crush on her

since the first day I met her.

And I'm taking her to prom.

- How are you?

- I'm pretty good.

What's there to do in Warsaw, then?

Absolutely nothing.

So, I want to get over there,

but we're not gonna make it.

Yes, you could.

You accomplish amazing things.

You lived through high school.

- This is for you for letting me stay.

- Thank you.

I didn't get Jake anything.

Well, if you have to sleep in his room,

you might want this back.

I opt for the couch.

Other than the dead animals,

it's not that bad.

No offense, Jake. It's not you, it's me.

I'll definitely be uncomfortable at prom,

but I'm not gonna let it

get to me as much.

- I like that!

- The Labyrinth poster?

Since Leslie is gonna be with me,

prom should be really exciting.

Did you do somebody else's hair

for prom?

You told me
