Oh, yeah. Contrast looks great.

- Yearbook's gonna be awesome.

- Yeah.

- Hey, I'm going to lunch. You wanna go?

- No. I got some stuff to do.

All right.

You know, you could just ask her

to the dance.

Okay. See you.

And one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

And two, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

And switch.

Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

That was fun.

You're not even sweating! I hate you.

Hey, guess who I talked to yesterday

at practice?

- The ravishing Regina?

- No. She hit me with a nasty tackle.

Have you ever seen that guy

who's always hanging around

with his camera?

- Josh Anderson.

- You know him?

- What's he like?

- Mystery man.

I think his parents homeschooled him

in, like, Nepal.

He skipped freshman year completely.

He's a junior.

He sounds like a brain.

Come on! You were walking

like you got cement in there!

He's on the cross-country team.

Takes pictures of everything.

Are you interested?

Me? Oh, I don't know.

Well, I think he's crush material.

Although he hangs out by himself a lot.

Well, I think he's cute.

Well, duh.

Good work, soccer girl.

Still up for being in a performance?

Yeah, but you've already had auditions.

- Well, there's still a few roles left.

- Really?

Sara, you should so do it. It'll be so fun!

Final auditions are today.

I can't miss practice. We're in State Cup.

Well, rehearsals start on Monday.

Let's see.

I can fit you in Saturday at 5:30.

It's my only time.

That would be perfect.

- You gonna be here?

- Yes.

- For sure?

- Absolutely.

Excellent! We're gonna be on fire!

Sara, work on your combinations.

And you, Miss Tutti,

work on the wardrobe.

They'll have a banana split

with extra fudge

- and lots of whipped cream.

- Okay.

Actually, if you don't mind,

I'm gonna turn you over to Doogie

because he makes the best banana splits.

Doogie, do you mind?

The Doogster would die for you, gorgeous.

Okay, well, let's just stick

with the banana split for now.

Banana split's over here, kids.

- Next.

- Hi.

Oh, hi.

So I was thinking about

when we were talking the other day and...

Excuse me.

Sara, there's no socializing on the job.

No, he's a customer. Right?

I don't have any money.

Actually, you maybe will need

some free samples to help you decide.

We get a lot of requests for ginger wasabi.

Okay.

Intense.

So, I thought maybe you could come

check out this place I go on Saturdays.

You can shoot great pictures there.

This is too intense.

I'll try the strawberry shortcake.

Anyway, I thought maybe, if you wanted,

you could come with me.

Yeah, that would be great.

So, like, this afternoon?

I'm...

Actually, I don't get out of here

for another hour.

And then I have this practice with my dad.

And then I have this dance audition

at 5:
30.

- So, I'm kind of...

- Wow. Yeah, you're totally booked.

Okay. No, that's cool.

We'll just do it another time.

Thanks for the samples.

Wait.

- Maybe I could get off work early.

- Really?

Just hang on a second.

Hey, Doogie, I have to run.

Can you take over for me?

Can I?

Your wish is my command, dreamboat.

Thanks, Doogie, you're... You're cool.

Are you sure this is okay?

Yeah. Doogie can handle it.

Sara!

Hey, take a left.

Through here?

Yeah.

Wow.

How did you find this place?

It's my uncle's work.

He's a little different.

Guess it runs in the family.

Hey, check this one out.

Looks like a dancer.

Yeah, it kind of does.

- Wait, wait. Don't move.

- No.

- Seriously, that's great.

- You're kidding, right?

- This is great. Yes, so good.

- You are.

- Wait. Wait. One more. One more.

- No. 'Cause I'm not... Are you serious?

It's so perfect.

Wait, one more time.

One more time. I'll just...

Take it out on the town tonight

Tell your mama that it's gonna be all right

Pick you up around 8:00 or 9:00

I'm gonna

Gonna change your mind

Yeah, you make it all brand-new

Yeah

And I'm falling deep over you

So, tell me you're feeling like I do

Yeah

And you'll make it all brand-new

Oh, yeah, yeah, hey

Oh, yeah

- I love it here.

- Yeah, it's my favorite place in the world.

You really get it, the spirit of it.

I mean... You know?

I guess so.

It's cool you're not

one of the fashionista girls.

You know,

always wearing the latest slinky threads

and hanging with your posse.

That is totally me. I mean...

I'll be taking pictures for the yearbook,

and they're, like, broadcasting every detail

of what happens with their boyfriends.

I don't see you around school much.

I'm kind of a private guy.

Why are you such a private guy?

I don't know.

I guess every place we lived,

there really wasn't a regular school,

so coming here was like culture shock.

Not to mention, everyone in my grade

is older, which is a little weird.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Everyone on my team is older. So it's...

I mean, they can be fun,

but they like to boss me around.

Yeah, but you're a great player.

Well, it's pretty much all I do.

- You've got it all figured out.

- Are you serious?

Yeah. You know what you want

and you're going for your dream.

- No.

- For me,

I don't really choose the things I do.

They just sort of happen.

Same thing exactly.

- Really?

- Yeah... Totally.

I even have this dream where

I'm riding my bike down this steep hill,

and I keep pulling the brakes,

but nothing happens.

And so I keep going faster and faster.

And, I'm...

You know, my life is totally out of control.

So, any new windows opening?

With your pictures, I mean.

Yeah. Come on.

Right here, okay?

- Up here?

- So you're gonna be, like, right here.

- Just you. Okay? All right.

- Just me.

All right. Here we go.

- Put that here.

- Okay.

Like that.

Push this.

Oh, my God. I'm so late for practice.

I have to go.

- Thanks.

- Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Let's go.

Yeah, soccer's going great.

Well, Sara loves doing things with her dad.

But it's just...

She's just training so much,

and her body's developing,

and Gil's got her practicing

with his pro team.

Do you know, he's gotten so intense

that I've even stopped going

to her games?

Yeah, well, not great.

He's... He's basically moved into his office.

Yeah, well, of course I still love him.

I just don't...

You know what? I've got to go.

But I'll talk to you later.

Okay. Bye.

- Hi, Julia.

- Hi.

Come in.

Thanks.

Quick, quick, quick.

- Fall back in. Fall back in.

Defense, don't get split!

Weak side, you need to tuck it in!

- Well, good evening.

- Sorry I'm late, Dad.

Guess you had more important things

to do.

No, it's just this boy from the school paper

had to take my picture,

and there's this little dance class

I had to...

You realize what's at stake here, right?

You make the National Team,

then you get a berth to the Olympics

and then maybe World Cup.

You got the rest of your life for boys

and hippity-hopping around.

- Dad, I wasn't...

- Life changes, Sara. Things happen.

Plans don't always work out
