You know how different

your life would be--

lf l would have married you?

William, l have a really good life.

Well, it's not good enough

for my daughter.

Shouldn't that be my choice?

Dad, if you think me being with Grant

is what's best for me...

-...then you don't even really know me.

-Baby, you are all l have left.

Well, you just lost that.

-Look, sweetheart, don't say that.

-Just stop it.

l know l can forgive you for this

one day, but l really....

l really can't imagine when.

Just give me a chance to fix things.

The procedure is simple.

Teams compete

in an elimination round.

Only four teams

are chosen to go to the finals.

These four teams will compete

for the $40,000 grand prize...

...to use for the community service

project of their choice.

And let's not forget,

bragging rights for the year.

Let the elimination rounds begin.

Let's hear it for the sorority finalists.

Let's hear it

for the fraternity finalists.

This is us, fellas.

Get them pythons up.

Hi.

-ls he here?

-Sure, sure.

Hold on one second.

DJ, would you come down?

l know about the offer

that my dad made.

All you had to do was talk to me.

-l know.

-l should have stayed in L.A.

Everything l touch gets screwed up.

My brother's dead and that's on me.

DJ....

That's not true.

No, if it wasn't for me, he'd be here.

Duron would be here.

Let it go.

Just let it go.

lt's okay.

l love you.

lt's not your fault. Okay?

Okay, l want to tell you something.

My dad overturned

the committee's decision.

He'd much rather put up with you

in my life than lose me in his.

But l don't know if that's for me.

But l thought this was your dream.

lt's my brother's dream.

He was supposed to be this.

Not me.

Well, then do it for your brother.

Do it for Duron.

The elimination rounds are over

and only the finalists remain.

This is the last chance for these teams

to let out all the stops.

Our father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name...

...thy kingdom come, thy will be done

on Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses...

...as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil...

...for thine is the kingdom, the power,

the glory forever.

Amen.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

the defending champions...

...the unstoppable

brothers of Mu Gamma Xi.

Wolf pack launch!

Give it to me one time.

Give it to me two times.

Give it to me three times.

Wolf pack slide.

Gamma

Xi

Sylvester!

l can't let you save the best for last.

Because the crowd

out there is really feeling us.

Man, what's it to you, dog?

Why don't you mind your own--?

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's go.

-All right.

You're suspended.

lt seems like your man Dr. Palmer

changed his mind.

You're not gonna matter.

You never did.

Come on, Mus.

Where's my Mus at?

So this is for real? You're back?

Theta Nu, you're on.

All right, huddle up,

huddle up, huddle up.

Okay, now, we are TNT.

That's one of the most powerful

explosives known to man.

-And that's what we are.

-Right.

That's what you are.

That's what you are.

That's damn sure what you are,

and that is what we have always been.

Okay, so tonight,

can we be explosive?

-Yes!

-No, no.

Can we be better

than we ever have been?

-Yes!

-Because we are repping the Thetas.

Thetas, Thetas, we rep the Thetas,

Thetas, Thetas, we rep the Thetas,

Thetas, Thetas, we rep the:

And now, get ready for the brothers

of Theta Nu Theta!

Can't touch this!

All ours, we get.

All right. That's it for the finals.

Now it's all up to the judges.

And now for the winner

of this year's...

...National Fraternity

Step Team Champions....

We have a tie.

Now, l know

what you all are thinking...

...but the judges

will not let this end in a tie.

l'm gonna stay here live until

we have a definitive winner.

Alpha Tau Chapter

of Mu Gamma Xi...

...and Beta Delta Chapter

of Theta Nu Theta.

We're gonna let y'all go

head-to-head one more time.

Theta Nu Theta and Mu Gamma Xi,

are y'all ready to battle?

-Then let's go!

-Come here.

All right.

We're gonna need you, man.

We're gonna need you

to bring this home for us.

You waited for four years for this.

You need to be the one leading us.

-l'm not doing it.

-lt's not about you, okay?

lt's not about me.

lt's about the whole team.

-That's my man.

-Bring him in here. Let's go.

lt looks like DJ is gonna lead them.

l knew they was gonna do this.

Don't worry.

l've been studying his every move.

lt'll be like taking candy

from a baby.

All right. lt's all you.
