on some clothes.

Yeah, I got some ideas.

- And they said it couldn't be done.

- Mom, what do you think?

You know, I used to wear that skirt

when I went out with your father.

You know what, Mrs. Davis,

you had some style.

Well, Sara's dad noticed me.

And you're gonna get noticed plenty, too.

Believe me.

That's my babe. Awesome, huh?

Come on.

Sara!

Hey, I was just chilling with my posse.

Didn't expect to see

you fine ladies here tonight.

You are not talking to us.

Come on, just do me this one little favor.

Walk in with me.

You can't be serious.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Okay, just let me walk in with you,

and I'll disappear from your lives forever.

And, you know,

we don't have to dance much.

It can't hurt.

Sweet! Yes! All right, come on.

So what's your sign?

Another way to like you

Another way to love you

Uh-huh

And I still can't say the words

I still can't find the words

Oh, no

Okay, Be Kind to Geek Day is now over.

Tutti, this is so cool.

Yeah, just call me the dancing queen.

Oh, don't look now,

but tamale boys are drooling with regret.

I know you feel the same

I heard it anyway

I can't believe

that you would ever go away

And I'll do my best to let you know

Let you know

Hi.

Who's this? She's cute.

Sara, from the soccer team.

- No way.

- Yes, way.

I can't believe it. Where's your boyfriend?

You know,

the one who takes all the pictures

and kisses like a dead squid.

What are you talking about?

Ask your friend.

I heard it from her. Come on.

- What?

- What did you tell her?

What do you mean? How should I know?

Tutti, that information was private!

- You promised!

- But I didn't...

That's why Josh won't even talk to me.

He thinks that I'm telling everybody.

- Are you serious? I can't believe you!

- I can't believe you!

It's like you don't want us

to end up together.

- Are you nuts? Why would I tell her?

- But you did!

Okay, maybe a little something

slipped out.

Yeah! Like you didn't know!

Okay, time out.

This conversation is going nowhere.

I'll just see you whenever.

I wanna be with you tonight

I don't need a reason why

We were meant to be together

I was just looking for someone to talk to

You were looking for my surrender

I didn't know that my heart was so empty

Lying to myself, I was just pretending

And I can't escape you and me

Can't escape me

And now, you belong in my arms

Hi.

Hi.

I thought you didn't do dances?

- Yearbook.

- Yearbook. Yes.

You look nice.

Thank you.

I thought some people might think

I look like one of those fashionista girls.

- I got to take some more shots.

- Hey, wait.

You know, I think there might have been

a little confusion between us.

I'm just afraid

that maybe something was said...

- Dead squid?

- I have no idea where that came from,

but it was not me.

I believe you.

I would still be really interested

in learning how to print pictures.

Sara, your life is moving so fast.

I don't think there's time

for someone like me.

I can make time.

That's nice,

but I don't wanna take a back seat

to everything else in your life.

If you make the National and move away...

Yeah, I understand. Totally.

So, how's Delilah's Garden?

I haven't been there in a while.

- Can I take your picture?

- Yeah, sure.

See you.

See you.

In my arms

I wanna be with you tonight...

Rhetorical

Asking questions

that don't need answers, yeah

Invisible

Chased by ghosts

I could swear I've seen before

And you were there

With your rain cloud hair

Caught up by the pull

Between the moon and the sun, yeah

With every word you speak I falter

And every smile you sneak I'm altered

And in a world

where nothing seems certain

With you

I have no doubts

Invisible

I failed to see what's been right there

from the start

Impossible

There, I couldn't help but laugh

As my world came undone, yeah

And in a world

where nothing seems certain

With you

I have no doubts

With you I have no doubts

Sara.

I was disappointed

you didn't make it the other night.

I'm sorry.

- We filled all the roles for the performance.

- I know.

I meant to make it. I just...

The day blew up on me, you know?

Well, I hope you get a handle

on your life, sweetie.

Yeah. Yeah.

Time! Time.

- Over here!

All right, Sara, you got me one.

Get her.

Sara!

- Regina!

- Get the ball, go!

- Switch it!

- Switch it, Wendy. Come on.

Back to me.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

What?

Keep your head up.

We need your best game tomorrow.

- Where'd you get those?

- What does it matter?

Your friend with the crazy clothes,

what's her name?

Tutti.

Yeah.

I heard her talking with you

on your cell phone last week

about kissing that boy.

- So she didn't actually tell you about him?

- No.

And I said some things to him

that I probably shouldn't have.

I just... I didn't know

- you were gonna be so good this year.

- I nailed Tutti for that one.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

- You must feel the pressure, too.

- Me?

I've seen you out there with your dad.

I have five brothers and sisters at home.

I have to drag my father out here.

I play soccer for me.

What do you mean?

When I'm with the ball out here,

it's like I'm moving to the music.

Like a samba.

When we've got it all going, girl,

I am the music.

I'm out of here in June,

and I'm gonna roll with soccer

as far as I can.

National Team, college, whatever.

Come on, let's go.

Okay.

But samba or no samba,

I wanna be on that plane to Florida

just as badly as you do.

Fine.

Great run, guys.

Everybody get stretched.

There's your boy.

Hey, how you doing?

I was worried...

All right, folks,

we're just about ready to get started.

Grab your last donut, head on in.

- Davis? Are you Davis?

- No. No, I'm not. I am, but I'm not.

- You been coaching a while?

- Oh, yeah.

- Lacrosse. Nine years.

- Soccer. 21 years.

Wow, that's great. Come on.

Welcome, everybody,

to the Positive Coaching workshop,

where it's all about honoring the game.

Together we're gonna explore

how to transform youth sports,

so sports can transform youth.

If I moved away,

that would be okay, right?

Well, they're taking the top scorer?

- Well, then your chances are pretty good.

- Dad thinks I'm good enough.

And it would be so cool

to get a shot at the Olympics

or the World Cup, you know?

But then I think I'd miss you,

and Dad and Tutti.

And there's this boy, even though

that's not working out very well.

- A boy?

- Yeah, he's... Never mind.

Well, you know, I'm not you,

but if I had that decision to make...

There's no decision, Mom.

If I put the ball in the net, I go.

I just... I don't know what to hope for.

Well...

Now is the time when you have to listen

to that little voice inside.

You know, the one that tells you

what's right to do.

You ever hear that?

Maybe. Sort of.

Well, trust it.

And know that no matter what happens,

I love you.

- Thanks, Mom.

- So after dinner,

you want one of your dad's

healthy smoothies?

- The ones you put ice cream in?
