Impact Point

Welcome to the AVP Crocs Tour.

This is the final event on the road

to the Crocs Championship.

It's Samantha Lee and Kelly Reyes

versus Jen Crowe and Diana Wilkes.

Great cut shot by Kelly Reyes,

and Jen Crowe just can't quite get it up.

That brings up 13-all, they've tied it up.

Stand loose. Keep it cool. It's still our game.

You can tell how intense this has gotten

between Kelly Reyes and Jen Crowe.

They're jawing under the net.

It does not get any better than this.

It's the finals.

And Samantha Lee

and her partner Kelly Reyes

have proven they are no pushovers

to the veteran squad

of Diana Wilkes and Jen Crowe.

Someone's gonna have

match point after this.

Here comes Kelly Reyes with a jump serve.

Diana Wilkes.

Oh, it's that signature shot.

And Samantha Lee, she cannot get it.

Match point for Jen Crowe

and Diana Wilkes.

Good save. Nice set.

The winners of this match will go on

to meet defending champions...

Camera One, give me a crowd shot.

... on Labor Day

in the AVP Tour Championships.

This isn't college, Kel. You don't look

ready for the big time. Not just yet.

Time will tell, Jen, time will tell.

Come on.

Mine.

From the right side, puts away.

But Crowe's got it up,

she'll have an opportunity!

And she grazes it off Reyes' shoulder,

and that is it.

Diana Wilkes and Jen Crowe have done it,

and you can see

the disappointment on Reyes' face.

- Good game.

- Good game.

- Good game.

- Good game.

You were right, Kel, time did tell.

Thank you.

Our season is over.

No early morning runs. Drink up. Get laid.

I know I'm gonna try.

Sam, we lost.

No, no, no.

What we did, we totally gave them hell.

We upped the ratings for the finals.

That is what we did.

Chin up, Kel. This is a league event.

We're here to press the flesh

and push the sports.

Next year. We'll get them next year.

Absolutely, next year, next year.

Excuse me. Thanks.

Oh, come on, Kel,

I had two knees, three surgeries ago.

My next year was this year.

I'm done.

Got to go.

Miss Reyes. Hi. I'm Holden Gregg.

I'm a writer, sports writer.

Holden Gregg? Doesn't he cover basketball?

Yes, he does.

I can't believe somebody knows who I am.

Well, what are you doing slinging it

here at the beach?

I'm searching for the next big thing.

Sports on the cusp. You looked good today.

Well, just looking good

doesn't pay the bills.

We should have won.

I agree. You should have won.

Okay, then why didn't we?

You want my honest opinion?

What?

You're gonna diss Samantha to me now?

No, no.

I think it was your fault.

Really?

Second set, 6-to-4, you blew the serve.

It's been nice talking to you.

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

Look, I want to interview you.

You know, a real interview,

not this party chatter.

- You serious?

- I'm serious.

Your girls are over there.

Well, there's nothing more boring

than a winner's quotes.

Well, there's nothing more desperate

than a loser's, but thanks anyway.

Can I give you some advice? Don't go.

Don't run away. You earned your spot here.

You deserve to have your picture taken also.

- That's what a star would do.

- I'm not a star.

Miss Reyes, look. I cover hoops, all right?

But the truth is, I love sport. I do.

I love the people that play

and commit themselves to it.

It's why I'm interested in you.

- I'll be in touch?

- Yeah.

All right, nice meeting you.

- Hi.

- Hey.

What?

This is it?

Place was dead.

Maybe nobody wanted to run into you

after you ate all that sand.

Funny.

We've lost a match before.

Remember last year in Miami?

All right, Jose, I think they get the point.

Here, entertain yourselves.

Diana Wilkes was not only loved for

her sway and swagger on the court,

she was also loved for her years

of charitable work.

Routinely volunteering her time to charity...

For God's sakes, she won a ball match,

not the Nobel Prize.

... her hard climb from poverty.

Diana Wilkes,

the victim of a hit and run, dead at 26.

I'm Dain Blanton for AVP.

The family thanks all of you for attending.

In the name of the father,

the son, the holy spirit. Amen. Go in peace.

Won't take long.

What won't?

For Matt to come a knocking on your door.

My door? What are you talking about?

He and Jen are engaged.

I mean, Jen doesn't have a teammate, Kel.

If she doesn't play, she forfeits.

You're the best bet in the finals.

Matt's a good coach, he knows that.

Are you kidding? She hates my guts.

It's too early anyway. I'm not going

to dance all over Diana's grave.

She's ashes, Kelly.

Come on, don't be a child.

When Matt comes to you with an offer,

think about your career.

Slinging hash in your dad's restaurant,

that isn't it.

What the hell was that?

Oh, that's what you would call an ace.

You want to wait till I set?

Oh, good one, Kel,

maybe you should ask the ref about that,

he might give you a do-over.

Jen, come on. Jen!

I need five.

Hey, take 10!

Don't take it personal. She'll warm up.

She just loves Di.

She's actually a really sweet person.

I know you hope that's true, Matt, 'cause

you guys are tying the knot and everything,

but I have a memory.

She tries not to show, but she's scared.

She should be. Nickels and Green

aren't exactly a cakewalk in the finals.

I'm not talking about that.

There's this guy hanging around.

Diana wouldn't talk about it.

She didn't want anyone to worry.

Some fan, stalker, I don't know what.

Cops are looking into it.

The cops?

Are you saying it wasn't an accident?

I'm just saying you should stick together.

You need each other.

You both worked way too hard and too long

to let an opportunity like this pass you by.

Yeah, okay, I've heard that speech before.

First from Samantha, then from

that reporter, and now from you, I get it.

Why don't you try to sell it to your fiance?

Reporter? What reporter?

Holden Gregg.

Holden Gregg.

Wow.

When did you talk to him?

After the semis and again yesterday.

I have an interview with him this afternoon.

You have an interview.

Well, are we gonna practice or what?

The Kelly Reyes.

- Yes?

- What can I get you?

Vodka rocks, lots of lime.

Drinking in training.

- Please, don't write that.

- I'm kidding.

- Trust me.

- Trust you? Right.

Yeah, seriously, trust me.

I consider this an opportunity.

Well, I've read your stories, Mr. Gregg.

The opportunity is mine.

Well, I'm honored.

So, how was your first day of training?

- Jen Crowe give you the time of day?

- Jen is behind me. We're a team.

Interesting. That's not what I heard.

Wow. Straight in for the kill.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe I should get

a drink. Can I get a Scotch rocks?

- Yes, sir.

- Thanks.

Here you go.

All right, I got to be honest.

I'm not very good at this,

this whole formal interview thing.

Thank you.

Press junkets.

That's more Dain Blanton's territory.

Being a sports celebrity, what do you think

a perfect interview should be?

Well, I'm not quite a celebrity.

Well, you will be on Labor Day.

Just answer the question.
