- Larimer!

- Yes!

Yes!

Positively perfect pass play,

Penny Pester!

What? Could you run that by me

one more time?

All right, guys! All right, Martha!

Come on, Kimberly.

Kimberly.

Don't worry about it, Kim.

We'll get them next time.

You're a loser, Chester!

Hey, Annie.

I want to take you to the zoo.

Yeah, they'll thank me for returning you.

Martha, over here!

Are you okay?

Wait! I'm a nurse, I'm a nurse!

Wait, back off, please.

You poor dear! Show me where it hurts.

If she shows where it hurts,

we'll need a nurse for her.

Okay. Okay, I'm fine.

What happened, Chester?

Was she hurt bad?

All right.

You have no idea.

Wait, Kim. Don't move.

Yeah!

Yeah! All right!

You have been cautioned.

Next time, you'll be sent off!

Come on, Martha!

Coming through here.

Atta boy, Martha!

Come on, come on, come on!

Yes!

Hey, Julie, that's one in a row.

- You did it, Martha!

- Don't mess up my hair.

Chester, you did it. You really did it.

That promotion's not too far away.

Chester!

You did it!

All right! We did it, Chester!

Yeah!

I know!

Great game, Chester.

Great game, great game.

- Chester, it feels great!

- Dave, you should know.

You know, in case I haven't told you

lately, I'm very proud of you.

Yeah, thanks, honey.

But we have a long way to go

to the championship.

Bess, would you get that?

Hello?

Yeah, yeah, he's right here. Hold on.

Chester, it's Martha.

- Chester!

- I'm sorry, I thought I saw a raccoon.

Martha, why are you calling me?

Would you rather

I call my mother, Chester?

No, no, no.

Listen, Chester, I'm in big trouble.

I'm at the Mullen's house.

Mrs. Mullen took all the girls

to her house after practice.

She insisted that I go with them.

Just have your ice cream and cake

and go home.

Listen, genius, if it was that simple,

I wouldn't have called you.

- Martha, where are you?

- Martha, come out.

Stop hiding, Martha.

Now all the girls are

going skinny-dipping.

I tell you, Bess,

those raccoons are all over the place.

- Martha!

- Martha?

Martha, where are you?

Mrs. Mullen said

that none of the girls can leave

unless their parents come

and pick them up.

- Don't worry, Martha. It'll all work out.

- When?

Well, good things happen

to little girls who are patient.

Hang this up, will you, honey?

- Nice and easy.

- Okay, Fred.

That's good.

I'll be back.

You know,

I think I'm getting better, don't you?

May I help you?

Yes, I'm here to pick up

my daughter, Martha.

Yes, of course. Just a moment, please.

Martha! Martha, your mother's here.

Would you please care to step in?

No, thank you.

I'll be late for my bridge club.

One of the girls left her shoes.

Okay.

Here you are.

Well, run along now, dear.

Come on, dear.

- It was very nice to have met you.

- Toodley-do.

One word about this

and you'll never reach 15.

Get in the car quick.

These heels are killing me!

I'm getting it.

Hey, Penny Pester.

What are you doing here?

The girls are all over there.

What's the matter? Don't you like boys?

Yeah, I do. But I don't think they like me.

I'm not pretty like the other girls.

Are you kidding?

Why, you're one of the prettiest girls

on the team.

Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Hey, Julie, do me a favor.

You got your mirror with you?

Thanks. Look, I'll meet you and Martha

by the car.

Wait for me.

I'll be there in a few minutes.

Look at this mirror, will you?

You know, I've never seen you

with your hair down.

Let me see what you look like

with your hair down.

Okay, hold that thing here.

What beautiful hair.

Let me see you

with your glasses off, too, will you?

Take your glasses off.

Look at those brown eyes.

You're cute as a button.

But what about my braces?

So what? Big deal.

You'll meet a boy who has braces.

Then when you kiss, you'll see sparks.

I'll tell you something, Penny Pester.

If I was younger,

I would definitely ask you for a date

and just my luck, you probably

wouldn't even go out with me.

Yes, I would, Coach Chester.

Come on,

get over there with those girls.

Go ahead, will you?

Give those boys a break.

Get over there.

- Hi, Pester.

- Hi, Pester.

- How are you doing?

- Hi, Pester.

Watch it, guys. Just sit over there.

Come on, guys, go!

Great.

Now watch Chu.

- It's coming to you, Kim.

- I can't. You take it.

Come on. Just do it! Believe me.

Kimberly's got the ball.

To hell with your parents. You'll get it.

- Chester.

- I want Kimberly out of the game.

Dave, give her a chance.

It was only one play.

She's embarrassing me.

Dave, if I take her out,

think of what she'll go through.

I can't hurt her that way.

Look, she's my kid.

I want her out of there.

- But, Dave...

- Get her out!

Kim.

Kim, you're coming out.

- Did he just tell you to bench Kim?

- Matthew, I had no choice.

Look, we're one point away

from winning.

Get back out there, will you?

Velez!

Chu!

Larimer!

Welfelt!

Martha!

Save this, sweetheart!

Chester, you did it!

We're in the championship.

You know a good decorator?

There's a big office right next to mine

just waiting for a guy like you.

And here comes our star player.

Thanks to you, we won another one.

Chester, you're going places.

You're going to look good

in that big office.

In fact, if things keep going

the way they're going,

you could even become

a member of my country club.

Thanks.

Well, here it is.

This is the house

the real estate lady told me about.

Wow! Who lived here before,

the Addams family?

She said it was a very good deal.

And look, honey, it's a two-story house.

Two-story house, yeah.

Before you buy it,

they give you one story.

After you move in, you get another story.

I never saw such beautiful landscaping.

It looks like all the trees threw up.

Come here. There's something else

I want to show you, too, over here.

Look at this,

we're so close to the neighbors.

I mean, if we start screaming,

they'll hear us.

Chester, we never fight.

Honey, I'm not talking about fighting.

I'll tell you, with that house, you're lucky

if you can't find your way home.

Look at that. Isn't that cute?

Very cute.

All the kid sees is his father's behind.

Later on, the kid grows up,

he'll marry a guy named Ralph

and they'll wonder why.

Yeah, just a minute!

Holy sh*t!

Pictures.

Coming!

- Kimberly. What a surprise.

- Hi, Martha.

I hope you don't mind me dropping in.

Somebody told me where you lived.

No. I don't mind at all. I was just

watching some TV.

Well, can I watch with you?

- Okay. It's in the family room.

- Okay.

Why don't you go in there

while I close the door.

- Okay.

- Right.

Kimberly, I'm really sorry

about what happened

at the game today.

Yeah, well.

I thought being on my dad's team

would make us closer somehow.

Well, that's a good idea.

That makes sense.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be

working out.

I guess

I'm just not good enough for him.

Well, Kimberly,

all kids get pressure from their parents.
