Just one second.

- Just one second. I'm...

- No, give me the note.

- I'm... No... I... Well, I will.

- Sara.

- I'm sure you will. Sara, give me the note.

- Mr. Arthur,

I wouldn't use the word "fascinate."

More like research, really,

- to understand the different behaviors...

- Sara.

...of a different species.

- Sara.

- Subspecies, actually.

- Oh, a subspecies. Wonderful!

I'm sure the entire class would enjoy

sharing your research.

- Come on.

- I really...

- Sara, come on.

- Yeah, let's see it.

- Come on, Sara. It's okay.

- Give me the note.

- No. No, it's not.

- Yes, yes. Oh...

Oh... Oh, dear. I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm just such a klutz.

- But you're right about that acid.

- Yes, you are.

- Fizz...

- It's definitely gone.

- Yeah.

- There is nothing left in there.

- No.

- I'll talk to you later.

Thank you.

Don't just stand there

You've gotta rip it up

It's your party, you've gotta shake it up

Center it!

Hey, center it!

Got a box on eleven

And I try to pass her coming in

Don't hang around just a-wastin' your time

You're here, it's now, go outta your mind

Go outta your mind

You're here, it's now

Surrender your soul to the big beat sound

It's here, it's now

Smash up the jukebox

Boy, go outta your mind!

Oh!

- What is this stuff?

- It's Dad's healthiest smoothie.

Okay. Here, try this.

- Thought you were gonna try it with me.

- Yeah, right.

All right. You know...

Okay. Maybe it needs some more fruit.

Why don't... I'll fix it.

Was that the doorbell?

Well, could you check?

Nobody.

Okay. Now try this.

Mmm!

Your dad's theories always need

a little fine-tuning.

So how did he take it?

He canceled

our one-on-one training sessions.

Well, you know, there...

There are lots of other things

you can do together.

- Like what?

- I don't know. You could go to a play.

You could go

to the Museum of Modern Art.

Take in a ballet. All right, fine.

Let him take you clothes shopping.

I hate clothes shopping.

I never know what to get.

- Gil?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Hey.

We got another shot at the National Team.

- I just got word.

- What?

Yeah. They lost a forward.

She broke her foot.

- Still got time to get a practice in.

- Okay. Then let's go.

- What are you doing?

- Didn't you hear? We got another shot.

- Gil, she has algebra.

- Yeah, algebra can wait.

You know,

sometimes I think that you forget

that she's just a 15-year-old girl.

Fifteen years, four months.

- With a chance to be the youngest...

- Yeah, I know. I know. I know.

Let me ask you something,

what does it matter

that she's the youngest ever?

It matters to me and her.

Can you come outside?

Look. First, family dinners disappear.

And then vacations become

soccer tournaments.

A couple of months ago,

you start spending the night at the office,

so I'm sleeping alone.

Sara's so busy she can hardly see straight,

and Elvis here has left the building!

Where are we going with this?

Gil, tell me, because I don't know.

I'm just trying to get a few things...

Julia, she loves soccer.

She loves

whatever you would do together.

She's got the rest of her life to play sports.

- Let's ask her what she wants to do.

- It is not that simple.

This looks like a serious conversation.

Your mom's still worried

we're overdoing it with the soccer.

Mom, this is definitely what I want to do.

I may not be good enough,

but I at least want to try.

All right.

You can do your homework

when you get back.

I can hardly wait.

Bigger leg-swing, Sara.

Plant your foot like you're shooting it.

I'll balance you with your arm.

Give me your leg. Okay. Lock the knee.

It's all one motion, okay?

It's pretty much swing from the hip.

- Okay.

- Okay. Try it again.

Good. That's what I'm talking about. Good.

Come on, hold me strong.

Hold me off strong.

Come on, keep your arm up!

Keep your arm up!

Come on, Sara.

Come on, hold me off strong!

Hold me off strong! Here we go.

Come on, girl. Let's go. Come on.

One touch.

Corner kick.

Victory Argentina!

Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Belle! Goal!

Okay. Give me your best move.

- Like what?

- Scissors or Matthews, whatever.

Okay.

You okay?

That was no Matthews.

I know. I call it a Crazy Eight.

- So, how's your knee?

- Well, I'll live.

Well, your form looks good.

Your moves are solid.

- You just have to work on getting open.

- I know, I know.

Be dynamic. Create space.

Hey, let's not forget

who's the coach around here.

How could I forget?

Ow!

Don't forget,

the Key Club's charity pancake breakfast

is Saturday morning

in the school cafeteria.

- Where were you this morning?

- On the mountain. Four miles.

I couldn't run four miles

if you had Tom Cruise

and a box of Krispy Kremes at the end.

That'll happen.

So is it soccer 24/7?

You know, just e-mail me once a month

so I know you're still alive.

Tutti, no one my age

- has ever made the National Team...

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

I'm staying in dance with you.

- For real?

- Mmm-hmm.

And I'm going to the Spring Fling

even if you're my date.

Good choice.

Back to fun and games. Ciao!

All right, listen up.

This has been a great season.

You guys are peaking just in time

for the State Cup Tournament.

- Who were those people?

- They're from the Soccer Federation.

They're scouting replacements

for the development squad

that trains for the National Team.

Look, we'll all be proud

if someone from our team gets chosen.

But right now,

our focus needs to stay on State Cup.

No matter how far you go with soccer,

this will always be about coming together

to achieve your maximum potential

as a team.

Yeah?

Okay.

All right. Let's go.

Pass.

- Get on your left!

Get on your left!

Get the ball. Go!

I'm right behind you, come on!

- Here. Here.

- Gina, bring it down the field.

You better get the ball.

Regina!

What was that?

You're not the only one trying

to make National Team, sophomore.

Jump...

- No jump.

That was a pretty rough tackle out there.

Yeah.

You train hard.

- You should see a game.

- I have.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, it's no biggie.

My ankles have been sore for years.

Well, you're an incredible player.

Thanks.

That's a nice camera.

I work part-time at a camera store.

The owner lets me borrow it.

- Is it digital?

- No.

I'm old-school.

None of that Photoshop stuff so...

- I actually got a camera for Christmas.

- Oh, yeah? What do you shoot?

The usual, mostly.

Actually, I haven't taken it out

of its box yet.

Well, you should. You should.

- It changes the way you see things.

- What do you mean?

It opens up a window on something

or someone.

The perspective that you see things...

The way you see...

- I don't know. It's hard to explain.

- No, I think I see what you're saying.

It's my dad. I have to go.

Okay. I'll see you at the playoffs?

- Are you really going to be there?

- Yeah. For the Wild Catter.

You're a celebrity, almost.

Yeah, right.

Wow. Look at the clarity of these shots.

That's so cool.
