the way you wanted.

So let's get to work.

Quicker touches.

Quicker touches. Quicker touches!

All that matters

is your breakthrough

Doin' nothing never gets you there

Julie, mark up and get goal side.

Sometimes I just wanna lose it

But we only live once

And I gotta make the best move

Some will win, some will lose

And I got somethin' to prove

Here I come, watch me now

Now ready or not

Someone better move

'Cause the girls don't stop

Get ready to jump

Outta my way 'cause I'm takin' off

Ready or not

Someone better move

'Cause the girls don't stop

Get ready to jump

Outta my way

Get ready

I'm takin' off

Are you ready?

Bring it in!

You guys are working,

but you're fading on me.

We'll fix that with an extra practice.

Sunday, tomorrow.

See you at 8:
00, sharp.

Oh, man!

Audition.

Hey, kiddo.

You missed our speed work.

Dad, do I have to?

That was Kevin on the phone.

National Team needs a finisher.

They're gonna take the top scorer

from the State Cup Tournament.

If that's gonna be you,

you're gonna need every ounce of speed

you can get.

On the line. 10 shuttles, 35 seconds.

Hey. Nobody runs alone.

You've got it. Come on, keep it up!

Go, girls.

Good job, girls. You got it. You got it.

- You got it!

- Good job, girls.

Push, push.

Go, Sara.

You got it. Keep it up. Keep it up.

- Go, girls.

- Come on, pick it up fast. Feel it.

Let's go.

Good job, girls, good job.

- Awesome stuff.

- Good job.

Hey, why don't you throw the bike

in the truck?

- I'll give you a ride home.

- No, I have to go, Dad.

- Come on!

- Dad, I have to go!

Honey! What happened?

Oh, no.

...and so I missed the audition.

That is a tough day.

- Can you ask for a makeup session?

- That was the makeup session.

You know, honey,

I think

that you've got to ask yourself something.

What?

Do you really wanna be this committed

to soccer?

Mom, it's for the National Team.

I'm not gonna quit soccer.

No. No. No.

Who said anything about quitting?

I'm just talking about playing

with kids your own age.

Do you realize what's at stake here?

But if you make the team,

you have to move away.

- Did you think about that?

- I know.

It's not that far.

I hate to say it, but your mom is right.

Why would you wanna move?

I don't. I just...

It would be so cool to get a shot

at the Olympics or the World Cup.

Yeah.

- You don't have to decide today, do you?

- No.

So..."Click"?

Well, he came by Cold Stone,

and we talked.

Yes, and?

And we...

We went to this park place-thing.

And he took pictures of me and us,

and we talked some more.

- Oh, my God! This is serious.

- No, it's not.

- You are so smitten.

- No!

It is a photo thing.

Yes, it is.

Oh, yeah, well, don't look now,

but photo boy approacheth.

- Hey.

- Hi.

So I developed the negatives,

printed a couple.

- They turned out pretty good. Really good.

- Cool.

So you could help me print the rest

if you want.

I mean, only if you have time.

- Yeah, sure. Now?

- Yeah.

Do you mind?

Totally not.

- All right.

- All right. Let's go.

Oh, my God. I can't see my hand

in front of my face.

- First time in a darkroom?

- Yeah.

Okay, we're good for light.

These are so cool.

Oh, yeah.

We lived there for a couple years.

We're gonna go back someday

and build the children a school.

Here they are. Look at these.

Wow!

- You're really good at this.

- Oh, well, it's kind of like you and soccer.

Takes up most of my time.

What, do you live in here?

No.

It's just there's no hassles here.

Here.

Check these out.

Wow.

See, the camera catches everything.

Even the stuff your eyes sometimes miss.

Like this.

Oh, my God.

Yeah. The WildCatter wanted that,

but I gave it to the yearbook.

Hope you don't mind.

You're a pretty incredible dancer.

You think so?

Yeah. Yeah. I could never do that.

It's not so hard.

- Yeah, for you.

- For anyone. Here.

Try it.

- What?

- Yeah.

No. No, I... In here? I can't.

Yes, you can! Here.

Oh, my gosh. All right.

Turn.

That was terrible.

No, you were getting it.

You were getting it. Here.

Put your arms... Spin around.

Just kind of loosen up.

Little of that.

Not so good?

No.

No, really good.

Do you think we could maybe do this

at the Spring Fling?

The dancing part, I mean.

You mean go to the dance together?

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Hey, Josh, you in there?

- That's just Terry. Don't worry.

- You know, I better go.

Are you sure?

Sorry.

- Dude, what is going on in here?

- Nothing.

Yeah.

What...

- Come on, Sara. Come on, Sara.

- Here. Here!

All right, Sara!

You're playing fantastic, baby! Fantastic.

I need to score, Papa.

Don't worry. Just play your game.

Don't you worry.

Just keep taking on players,

keep taking shots.

Another goal and you've got it.

We need more penetration. Let's go.

Regina! Cross it!

Attagirl. Attagirl. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Come on!

- Cross! Cross to Regina!

- Get around her, Sara!

Work up here!

Here, here, here!

All right. Bring it in. Come on!

Come back, Sara. Come back for the ball!

Midfield, Sara! Get the ball to midfield!

Drive right through this crowd!

Go to the goal!

- Go to the goal!

- Gil! Gil! You were my coach in college,

but I am the coach here, not you!

Yeah, but you're not telling her

what to do!

- She needs that!

- If I'm always screaming at her

from the sidelines, she'll never learn

to think for herself out there,

- which is what she needs.

- This is State Cup, Lori!

Hey, listen to me.

It doesn't matter if it's the World Cup, Gil.

On this field, you're a parent.

So cheer her on, but don't coach.

Coaching has changed, Gil.

Get with the program.

Here. Regina! Here, here, here!

Regina!

Penalty kick, blue!

Good try, Regina! Good try, baby!

Come on.

Not too many touches.

Not too many touches.

Not too many touches.

Way to go, Regina!

Well, I don't know

how we pulled that one off.

I believe that we're capable of more.

We have a tough week of practice

before the finals,

so get plenty of rest,

and I'll see you Monday.

Oh, and bring your running shoes.

We know you're trying to rack up goals.

It wouldn't kill you to pass the ball.

I'm just trying to win the game,

same as you.

Besides, I wasn't the one

who missed the penalty kick.

I'm the man

Poetic slammer is who I am

Making music is my life

from beginning, middle to end

You know, I have no clue.

Let me check my schedule. Yeah?

Teddy took a tumble.

Are you serious?

You brought your teddy bear to school?

Sure. He likes visiting.

Where are you?

I need to tell you something.

Tell me now.

Okay. Okay.

You know the other afternoon

when we saw Josh Anderson?

- Cute photo boy, Josh?

- Yes.

- Yes?

- Hey, Regina!

Well, he had all these pictures

of me dancing.

Oh, my God! He's obsessed with you.

- No, Tutti, it's a yearbook thing.

- I'm kidding.

I mean,

nobody takes pictures of me these days.

- What else?

- Well, we were in the darkroom...

You and Josh Anderson alone

in the darkroom?
