Go, go, go. Don't let them...

Let's move it forward.

Close them down.

Samantha, let's see

some playing, okay?

Just keep pushing forward.

Come on, guys.

Let's talk to each other.

Lewis, make a difference.

Push it down the line.

Go, Lewis. Take the shot.

Come on, Lewis. That's it, go

ahead, take it to the goal.

There you go, Lewis.

Go, Lewis!

Yes. Yes, Lewis.

Yes!

Cyclones. Cyclones. Cyclones.

Two minutes, Cyclones.

Let's finish this off.

Hey, Carl.

I was wondering where you got to.

Let's push forward, Cyclones.

Come on.

Hey, I got a little gift for you.

Postcards from a great season.

That's thoughtful. Thank you.

Open it up. Take a look.

No, after the game.

Why don't you look at

it now, George?

Come on, folks. One minute left.

Now that is my divorce

attorneys favorite.

George, I thought I had mentioned that

I hire people to keep tabs on Patti.

That slipped your mind?

Buddy, you know what, I may be a sh*t.

I'm a bigger sh*t

than even you dreamed of.

But you don't know me.

I wouldn't sleep with your wife.

Go, go, go!

Dog pile!

Hey.

It's not what it looks like.

It never is.

Good luck in Connecticut.

Hey.

Hey.

So I thought I'd come

say goodbye.

Okay.

Well, good luck, George.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

I thought maybe you and I could take a walk.

What do you say? Yeah?

Okay.

So I'm not gonna

see you anymore?

You're gonna see me.

Of course you're gonna see me.

We're gonna have weekends.

I'm gonna come back

and you can come and

visit me in Connecticut.

Hey, I got something for you.

Remember this?

Thats the first medal

I ever won with Celtic.

Yeah.

You're gonna win your own someday,

but you can keep that warm for me.

I'll miss you, son.

I'm gonna miss you, too, Dad.

Come here.

We're gonna talk on the phone, okay?

Okay.

You're gonna call.

And you're gonna write me.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, I gotta go.

All right, buddy.

He'll be okay.

Yeah.

Stace? Hey. Hey.

Look, I'm not, uh, stupid.

We've been together three years, so

I think that you owe me the truth.

Do you still love him?

I've never stopped loving him.

Dad.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was on my way

and I suddenly thought what

if I wake up tomorrow morning

and I want to take another walk

with you? You know?

Yeah, but what about your job?

Well, I don't have it all

worked out,

but I figure if I'm good enough for them,

gotta be good enough for someone here.

You're really here to stay this time?

Yeah. I'm really here to stay.

Come on.

Let's go play some soccer, all right?

Okay.

Come on, here you go.

Oh-oh-oh. Oh!

Whoa.

Mom, Dad came home.

You gave up the job?

Someone very smart once told me

you just have to be there.

I called off the wedding.

Why?

Because someone kind of stupid

got in my head.

I can live with that.

Wanna play?

Yeah. Wanna play?

Yeah. I wanna play.

Okay. Let's go.

All right, Lewis. Come on.

Here you go.

For once, once in your life

Won't you do what feels right?

instead of waiting for

The next big compromise

Stop running your mouth

Get out of the house

Get yourself downtown

And shake it all out tonight

time, we are out of it.

We'll see you tomorrow night

with the next George and Chip show.

Heh, heh. And he means

the Chip and George show.

I thought we agreed it sounded better if

we called it the George then Chip show?

But that was before we had the logo.

Logo says Chip and George.

and George and Chip.

Once, once in your life

Won't you do what feels right?

Instead of waiting for

The next big compromise

Stop running your mouth

Get out of the house

Get yourself downtown

And shake it all out tonight

For once, once in your life

Won't you do what feels right?

Instead of waiting for

The next big thing to strike

Stop running your mouth

Get out of the house

Get yourself downtown

And shake it all out tonight

Hit me once and it wasn't enough

Baby, I want the stronger stuff

Hit me once and it wasn't enough

Baby, I want the stronger

Always looking for

The next score

I was always looking for

The next door

To take me to the promised land

Yeah, that's where I was going

But I was always there with you

I just didn't know it

Sometimes you have to lose it all

To know how much you had

Before you had to fall

I will never lose you again

I couldn't take the pain

The sun shines brightest

After the rain

After the rain

Thought 1 was a dreamer

But I was just asleep

I was makin' excuses

For the promises I wouldn't keep

And every time

You needed me to show up

I was never there for you

ifs time for me to grow up

Sometimes you have to lose it all

To know how much you had

Before you had to fall

I will never lose you again

I couldn't take the pain

The sun shines brightest

After the rain

After the rain

The sky is so much clearer

After the rain

I need to be near you

Ah the mistakes

I made in my life

I finally got it right

Sometimes you have to lose it all

To know how much you had

Before you had to fall

I will never lose you again

I couldn't take the pain

The sun shines brightest

After the rain

After the rain
