I know, sorry.

Traffic was jammed. A nightmare.

That crazy suburban traffic.

Dad, we're gonna be late.

We'll be fashionably late.

Totally different.

I used to do it all the time.

You still do.

Can I take him for dinner after?

He's got homework.

What if we're back by 7?

We'll be back by 7.

Fine, 7. But that

It's more than a couple of weeks.

It's been a plethora of weeks.

Oh, a plethora, huh?

It means a lot.

We're gonna have a plethora of good

times today, what do you say, champ?

Hey, how's the team doing?

The team bites.

We lost all our games.

We haven't scored all season.

Really? Wow.

Well, that sucks.

So, what does your coach

say about that?

I don't know.

Well, always remember,

you have to respect your coach, okay?

Okay.

All right. Go. Come on.

Enjoy.

Remember, we want to score goals.

Go, go find a ball.

Hello, hey, what did they say?

This way, this way, kick the ball.

We're having fun.

Hold on a sec. Kick it like... all right?

With your toes.

It's not like it's real football.

Just kick the ball into the goal.

So your legs are getting

much longer, huh?

You're gonna be taller

than me soon.

You got a girlfriend? No?

Well, I need to fix you up, then.

How's school?

It's fine.

My class was supposed to

But Mom's been stressed out lately.

Matt says it's because of the wedding.

The wedding?

Yeah, Matt and Mom.

Matt and Mom

Mm-hm.

Wow.

Hey, guys. How was practice?

It was great. They were really good.

I almost scored a goal.

Almost, really? That's amazing.

Hey, George.

Hey, Matt.

All right, upstairs.

Thanks, George.

So, um,

congratulations.

Lewis told me your big news.

I was gonna tell you, but...

No, I mean it's fine.

I mean, it's no big deal...

I mean, obviously

it's a big deal for you.

It's okay, you don't have to

say anything.

Anyway, okay. It's good.

Well done.

Have a great night.

It's the European Cup, 2003.

You, me, Smitty and

those Swedish med students,

who I believe were twins.

First, they weren't Swedish.

Irish.

Secondly, they weren't med students,

they were nursing students.

Finally, they weren't even twins.

What?

No, they were triplets.

I could kick myself for not writing a book,

not that anybody would believe it.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Aw... Hey, ladies and gentlemen.

You all remember George Dryer?

How you doing?

What have you been up to?

You were doing some real estate

deal up in Canada or something?

What do you know about

Canada? Or real estate?

Well, it was vacation homes in Winnipeg.

I was just a spokesman, so...

And you had a sports bar, right?

Yeah, yeah, I had a bar.

You know, the economy.

Right, right.

Didn't work out.

Actually, I've been thinking

now about something you suggested.

Like sports-casting.

I made a demo.

I thought I would...

You know, I'd show it to you first.

No, I'll definitely

take a look at it. Heh.

They're always looking for someone

to replace me around here.

Chip, you're on.

Oh, sh*t. Uh...

Hey, look, put this on my desk, all right.

It belongs to my man here.

Listen, uh, take care, man.

All right, man.

Good to see you.

Always good to see you.

Stick around if you want.

Hey, man. How's it going?

I'm good, I'm good.

George Dryer, huh?

Yeah, back in the day that man

got more ass than a toilet seat.

Hang on, here we go.

All right, soccer fans,
