How Do You Know
- Run for it!
- Come on, Lisa! Go, go, go!
Go for second!
It's gonna be close.
Yeah, Lisa!
United States wins gold!
You did it!
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Yeah, Lisa!
So basically we're down to
three choices for the last slot.
Lisa's here to see you.
I'm glad you're meeting with her...
...because when it comes to this girl,
the intangibles are everything.
She's been the heartbeat
of this program.
Just let me think for a second.
She did the Olympics and
two championships without an error.
- She practices, what?
- Three hours every day.
She makes everyone better. Coach?
I have the benefit of being new here.
Lisa is 31.
She's 0.3 seconds slower
moving towards first.
I'm tired of justifying myself because
you're hung up on her as a role model.
Nobody's gonna change his mind.
It's over.
- What's that?
- It's your call.
At least let her know today.
She'll have to redirect her life.
Everyone finds out when
I post it online. No exceptions.
Because we field women athletes...
...doesn't mean we get girly
when someone's time is up.
Holy crap.
I beg your pardon?
I'm sorry.
Oh, my Lord.
What is to become of me?
I've lost my ability
to smile at bastards.
Still got it.
Can we...?
- I can't see her. Tell her I'm too busy.
- How's it going?
Three, three, three!
Let's go, people!
- Faster!
- Good stretch, Smalls!
- Go, baby! Attaway!
- Right here!
Faster!
- Hey, whose phone?
- Al right, look up.
Oh, man.
- Smalls, are you okay?
- Yeah.
- You gotta watch out.
- Yeah.
- Hello?
- Hi.
This is George Madison.
I think you might know that Riva
gave me your phone number.
No.
She thought it might be a good idea
if we had dinner.
I'll call her.
When did you have in mind?
No, I wasn't calling to set a time.
She didn't know that
I was seeing someone.
Well, she didn't know
that it had escalated a bit.
At least on my part.
It just added up for me suddenly.
So you're calling me to break up?
- You can't just walk in there.
- No, I just didn't think....
George Madison.
I'm sorry. I got distracted.
What was I saying?
You were saying
you just didn't think.
Right, right. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
Thank you for holding.
I just didn't think it was right
not to phone you...
...once I took your number, in case you
had talked and were expecting my call.
Okay. Well, it was nice of you to call,
in a way, I guess.
Right.
Sorry for interrupting your day.
- Yeah.
- Goodbye.
Bye.
Weirdo. I'm gonna kill Riva. Let's go.
All right, ladies, let's go!
Oh, my God.
- So you gave my number to a guy?
- Yeah.
I hardly know him, but he went
to business school with my brother.
So why did you give him
my number?
You don't remember
Wednesday night?
You said you had never dated
a non-athlete.
"I should date a non-athlete,
right, Riva?"
That's what you said.
Don't listen to me when
I'm drinking Guinness.
It's the only time you really say stuff.
I hope that's not true.
This exercise is for next time, okay?
Thank you.
George.
Didn't I say I was crashing
on my book?
Yeah, you did. I'm not gonna stay.
Maybe that's better for tonight.
Look, if you're concerned about us
now that we've intensified...
...we're okay. I am busy...
...so I can't demonstrate to you
we're okay in the little ways...
...like paying attention to you...
...but if you could take my word for it
until work lets up, that would help me.
And us.
I think I like that word better.
Us.
T-- Today I....
It was nice just to see your face
for a minute. It settles me down.
Great game last night, Matty.
Who's your date?
You're the best pitcher.
- Can I get your autograph?
- Got a pen?
- He's the cutest pitcher in baseball.
- Rocking that mound!
Hold on, hold on.
You guys ready? Okay.
- Here, one more over here.
- Lisa!
- To the right!
- The right.
- Thanks for everything.
- You're awesome!
The night is so great.
You look so good.
Just needed to grab you.
We're here.
- Good evening, Mr. Reynolds.
- Tom.
Matty, I might have to
go back on what I said...
...about finally seeing
your place tonight.
I just have a lot on my mind.
Okay, are you sure?
Well...
...no.
There's no pressure.
It should feel right.
That's nice.
Thanks.
Why are you moving away?
I wanna give you room
to think and decide.
You have all the signs of a handful.
I hope so.
You better hang on to that energy.
Wait till you try this.
Blender wake you?
It's worth it. Because these things
are gonna blow your mind.
Amazing sex.
Female jocks are amazing.
Thanks, but maybe could you
personalize it a little?
Oh, yeah. Right, right, right.
That's what I'm saying to you, Lisa.
It's like, come on, that was--
That was unbelievable.
Yeah.
Are you fishing
for a compliment or--?
I'm fishing for a celebration!
Come on!
It was good.
Here, come on.
- It's good.
- It's great.
- It's great.
- There you go.
- Yeah.
- Good.
I have to get going.
Which way is the bathroom?
- It's just right over there.
- Okay.
But I'm gonna drink the rest of this...
...because it was really sweet of you
to make it.
It's great.
So you know that many
female athletes?
Yeah, I do.
I mean, you gotta count cheerleaders,
but yeah.
Toothbrushes are in that drawer
on the right there.
Oh, okay.
No.
No. You don't have to
wear that dress home.
- What?
- Come here.
What size? Small or extra small?
Wait, what is that?
- What?
- That. Behind you.
That is repulsive. The stack.
- No.
- No?
No, no. No, it's me being classy.
It's me being a good host.
No. No. No.
I feel like I'm on an assembly line
that's just spitting out girls.
That's just negative. That's like....
Though if you think about it,
and I never did till now...
...we're all on kind of an assembly line,
just going through each other's lives.
Until one day,
you close the factory down...
...take one product home and use it
monogamously for the rest of your life.
- My mistake, Matty. Forget it.
- No, I'm not--
It's not a mistake.
I'm just saying that--
If I'd given you one and hid the rest,
I'd be a great guy?
- But because I was open with you--
- I said, forget it!
Matty, what am I doing?
I caught myself.
Don't judge others
till you check yourself.
You're lucky if it's your fault,
you can correct the situation.
I'm nervous over something
that's going on with me.
I'm with an attractive guy
you'd be an idiot...
...to mistake for anything more
than just a fun friendship.
And, yes, amazing sex.
Instead, I give that guy a hard time
for just being who he is.
Totally my fault.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
- Are you apologizing?
- Yeah.
If you're really apologizing,
you may be my dream girl.
I heard footsteps and I'm like:
"Okay, somebody nuts is coming back
to be more nuts."
And now, an apology?
You may be my dream girl.
Yeah.
They said you'd be in here.
How bad is this?
