Bend It Like Beckham Page #7

- What?

- e saw you play in Germany.

l thought...

Don't worry about it.

Jess.

We all missed you at training today.

specially Joe. e, erm...

e told me what happened with your dad.

e did?

Yeah.

e's worried he's gotten you

into even more trouble.

l'm really in the sh*t.

Dad hasn't talked to me since.

e'll never let me go back

to Joe and the team.

But you can't miss the final.

Jess, there's gonna be

an American scout there.

l can't. lt's the same day

as my sister's wedding.

Oh, sh*t.

Well, can't you get away for a bit?

- You don't understand.

- lf you give up football now,

- what are you gonna have to give up next?

- Don't rub it in, all right?

You came here cos you need me

if that bloody scout shows up.

Look, I came here

cos Joe was worried about you.

l'll just tell him he's wasting

his bloody time.

The teriyaki sauce is the goalkeeper.

The posh French mustard is the defender.

- The salt is the attacker.

- he sea salt.

The sea salt is the attacker.

Now, when the ball's played forward,

the sea salt has to be level

with the mustard.

ello, darling. Right, now watch

and concentrate. Offside, onside.

- Offside, onside.

- What are you doing?

Well, if the mountain

won't come to Mohammed...

- What?

- Don't laugh.

l'm trying to teach your mother

the offside rule.

Well, l've decided that l've got to take

an interest or I'm going to lose you.

This way we can all enjoy football

as a family.

Right. So, don't tell me.

he offside rule is...

when...the French mustard...

has to be between the teriyaki sauce

and the sea salt.

- She's got it.

- Got it!

- Wonderful!

- ave you read all these as well?

Yeah. Oh, do you know what?

One of those ngland girls' players

is a maths teacher as well,

and she's happily married

with a baby.

A-level results...

..A-level results...

She's not coming, Joe.

- er sister's wedding's on Sunday.

- Sh*t!

Guess l'm on my own, then.

You'll impress the scout. No worries.

- ow was she?

- A right stroppy cow, actually.

She's really pissed off she can't make it

and she doesn't know what to do.

Go on! ick the ball,

kick the ball, kick the ball!

Three players coming behind you

the whole time, hunting you!

Yes?

l'm sorry to bother you like this.

l don't have anything to say to you, O?

l appreciate it, and l won't keep you long

from your celebrations,

but l wanted you to know that there's a scout

coming to our final match tomorrow.

So?

So, it's the opportunity of a lifetime for Jess.

Please, Mr Bhamra,

- don't let her talent go to waste.

- hank you.

What did he say, Dad?

Don't play with your future, putar.

Wait!

l'm sorry about the final.

No, l'm sorry, Jess.

Got my results.

l'm starting university soon.

l won't have time to train and stuff.

Now that's a shame. I could have

seen you play for ngland someday.

Jules still has a shot.

She told me about the scout coming.

Sorry I'm letting her down.

l asked that scout to come for you, too.

- e's interested in both of you.

- Me?

Why are you doing this to me, Joe?

very time l talk myself out of it,

you come around and make it sound so easy.

l guess l don't want to give up on you.

So, uh, are you promised

to one of those blokes in there?

Don't be silly.

l'm not promised to anyone.

You're lucky...to have a family

that cares that much about you.

l can understand

you don't want to mess with it.

Joe...

And I don't fancy being busted by

your dad again. You'd better get back.

l hope all goes well for you tomorrow,

and good luck with your studies.

Come and see us sometime.

Let's just hope she fits in the car

with that hat on.

We're going to a football match, not Ascot!

You look lovely.

Beautiful.

yes down! Look sad!

Don't smile! lndian bride never smiles.

You'll ruin the bloody video!

- What does she look like?

- She looks like a jar of bloody Rag, innit?

Where the hell is the flippin' Rolls?

Can't anything happen without me?!

One, two, three, four

Yeah, yeah

You gave me something like loving

And took me in so soon

You took my feelings from nothing

Came back at noon

Just meet me, l'm ready

To show myself to you

So if l lose my patience

You must try to understand

Try to understand

lf l lose my patience

Oh, yeah

Cos you make me feel

Yeah, yeah

Cos you make me feel wild

Yeah, yeah

You touch my inner smile

Yeah, yeah

You got me in the mood

Yeah, yeah

So, come on, and make your rule

And free me...

Tony, what are you doing?

We can still make the second half

if we leave now.

You're mad! My mum and dad will go spare!

I've just got to put them first today.

There's so many people in there,

they won't even notice.

l can't!

Look how happy they are, Tony.

I don't want to ruin it for 'em.

- What are you going to ruin?

- Nothing, it's OK.

lt's the final of her football

tournament today, Uncle.

We can pick up the kit on the way, l can drive

her there and back. It won't take long.

Stop it, Tony.

Dad, it doesn't matter. l don't want

to spoil the day for you and Mum.

Pinky is so happy and you look as if

you've come to your father's funeral.

l'm sorry, Dad.

lf this is the only way l'm going to see you

smiling on your sister's wedding day,

then go now,

but when you come back,

l want to see you happy on the video.

Play well and make us proud.

Take these shoes.
