qualify for that so,

we should keep looking.

Oh.

Men's volleyball scholarship

to Loyola university.

What's this?

It's just what it says.

Well that's in

Chicago isn't it?

Yes but you'd have to

be on the volleyball team.

Then I'll get on

the team, I'm good.

Sweetie, it's a girls' team.

Well is there a law

saying that a boy

can't play on a girls' team?

You know, we did

have this come up

with a girl in football

a few seasons ago.

And because of title nine,

we let her play,

but we never had a boy

wanna be on a girls' team.

I mean...

I'm just saying I think that

maybe you should continue to

look for other options.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Yeah.

So, I'm gonna need you

to warm the girls up.

Okay, start peppering...

hey coach.

Is it too late to tryout?

For who, for you?

Yeah I wanna play.

Well this is a girls' team.

Well if there's a boys' team

I'd be there.

Come on, please?

All right, well what the heck.

Go suit up and be back in five.

Okay.

All right, ladies.

Please don't expect any

favors or any free rides.

This is a challenging sport.

A little more energy,

that's right.

Faster, faster!

One that brings the

best out of my girls.

Uh, all of my students.

Higher, higher, higher!

That's it, come on!

Come on, Penelope, do it!

I take this sport

very seriously,

and I expect you

all will as well.

A spot on this team

does not come cheap.

Ballet class.

So if you've come to play,

I want you to play hard.

But I also want you to

learn how to play well.

This is where we see

what you're made of.

This is where you bump

your distractions,

set your targets,

and spike your goals.

Not the worst I've seen.

Nice work, keep it up.

What are you doing

out there, Candace?

If you make the cut,

your name will

be posted outside my

office after tryouts.

I want those butts lower,

lower, lower those butts.

Lower.

If your name is not on the list,

that's it.

No tears, no phone

calls from your parents.

All right?

I wish you the best of luck,

ladies... and miles!

Yes!

Awe snap!

Love the enthusiasm.

I'm sorry,

I didn't see you there.

Most people don't.

Oh, before you pop a chub,

you should know that

everyone made the team.

How do you know?

Well eight people tried out,

eight people made the team.

Six on the court, two

on the bench, duh.

I'm miles, by the way.

Penelope.

Oh, but my friends call me P.

You can call me P.

Oh okay, um...

ooh, parental release forms.

Thanks, P.

You got it, girl.

Refill?

Can you please just sign it?

Why would you wanna

join a girl's team

when there's so many boy sports.

I like volleyball.

Hey, I know the

football coach.

I bet he'd let

you be the kicker.

Do you want me to ask him?

No mom, that's okay just...

I don't know honey,

with dad gone

this sure seems

like a lot for you.

Mom, that's why I wanna play.

It's something to get

my mind off of him.

Okay.

It'll be fun,

it's just a game.

Here you go.

Hey miles.

Yeah.

Tell everyone I'm doing okay.

Okay.

Okay.

We want everyone in this room,

in this school,

and in this town,

coming out to support us.

Let me hear you, Pondley high!

Here is the moment you've

all been waiting for!

Let me introduce you to the

1999 girls varsity

volleyball team!

Come on out!

So come on out for our first

game of the season against...

Walton's a fag!

Calvary high on...

Who said that?

Who said that?

For that, Mr. Roberts,

you can see me after.

So yeah, come and support us.

We'll see you next week.

Hey, let's hear it for

the lady warriors huh?!

So I went over there

and her delightful mother

Rhonda answered the door.

I felt like I was

talking to her bodyguard.

And then, she had

the nerve to slam

the door in my face right after

she told me that I needed help.

Can you imagine, like I'm the

crazy one in this situation?

And now that Ron is dead,

I just feel...

I don't know,

I feel so pissed off

that I'm the one left

holding the bag, you know?

And apparently now I'm

the one who needs help.

Why doesn't he need help?

Why does Ron get off so easy?

Dying is easy.

I just think he should have

to pay for his mistakes.

I feel so mad, it's not fair.

Thank you.

Pam?

- Hi Pam, how ya doing?

- - Oh hi, Jean.

I'm doing okay.

So I got to thinking while

you were telling your story.

And I think I figured

out what you need

to make you feel better.

It just hit me out of the blue.

Oh yeah?

W-what is that?

You need to get

yourself some new d girl.

I'm so sorry, what is that?

Some dick.

And I know what you're thinking.

There goes Jean rambling

on about cock again.

But trust me, it is

essential that you

just go out and you

get yourself laid

straight away after

your husband dies.

While it's fresh, it still

feels like cheating.

Jean, I just feel like

we're around so many

people so it's very public.

Oh.

I mean...

Ricky and I practically

only did it in public.

- Is that right?

- Like one time he just had me

just going up against a wall.

And I just accidentally

set off the fire alarm.

Jean.

We just kept

doing it right there

in the indoor rain.

Wow.

- It was glorious.

- Huh.

Yeah.

I just thought you

needed to know.

Oh.

Well thank you, Jean.

I appreciate you giving

me that information.

It's good to know.

But listen, we're all

gonna go get a drink after.

It's our little tradition,

you gotta come.

Oh no, I can't, I wake up

early, I'm a school teacher.

- No, you gotta get back in the saddle.

- I'm a teacher!

Come on!

Okay!

Have a beer, one beer.

Hey Brian, did you get it?

You get the poster?

Office space,right?

Yeah.

Okay here.

Did you know the Swingline

stapler guy in the movie

doesn't really talk

like that in real life?

Yeah, on "newsradio"

he's totally different.

Here, it's got his full name

and the login for a

lexisnexis account okay?

So you just run a search for him

and it'll tell you

all sorts of stuff.

Thanks, I owe you, man.

Would you like to reconnect?

Welcome.

Know anything about me?

Yeah.

Anything bad?

Shut up, he'll love you.

Sh*t.

Knock knock.

Come in.

I'm going to group.

- Okay.

- Don't stay up.

Okay.

Can I borrow dad's bronco

while you're at your meeting?

Oh honey, I don't think so.

I need to go to Michael's

first science project.

Plus I was thinking about

seeing the sixth sense again.

Fine, but be careful.

I will be, I promise.

Do you need money?

Sure.

All right, here ya go.

And also make sure you

get gas on your way home.

Okay I will.

All right see you.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Would you like a cup?

Oh thank you.

Careful, it's very hot.

Good.

Pam, right?

Yes.

Hello.

Hi.

I'm Lloyd.

Yes I remember.

Oops sorry, no go ahead.

No you go.

I insist.

Okay.

Grab one.

Oh that was mine.

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm miles Walton

from Pondley high.

I'm on the volleyball

team there, um...

I sent you an email

but I wanted to also give you

a schedule of all our

games this season.

I wrote them down for you.
