The Big Green Page #4

---

Why don't you all worry

about your own work?

Kate's right. Everyone

get back to work.

Whatever.

Hey, two points.

Maybe Juan's got some hidden

talents. -No way. Juan doesn't play.

Yeah, he doesn't look

very athletic anyway.

Like you do?

You gonna play goalie?

-I always play goalie.

Mind if I take a few

shots against you?

Oh, you're gonna play? -Don't

worry, I'm not very athletic.

Get in the goal,

Larry. -What did I do?

As if he could get

it past King Larry!

Yeah! Come on, big boy! Yeah!

Gosh, I'm not feeling

so good about this.

Whoa, we don't look like

that when we get the ball.

Yeah, that's for sure.

You think he's done this before? -I

think he's done this a lot before.

He's awesome! -Too bad

he doesn't have a twin.

He couldn't have a

twin. He isn't human.

He's definitely the answer, you

guys. -What was the question?

How are we gonna win? -Juan!

Hey, he's getting

away. -Wait up!

We need to talk

to you. -Oh, yeah?

Where did you learn to play like that?

-In El Paso. Everybody plays there.

Well, you gotta play

with us here. -No.

Come on, we need

you. You're so good.

Hey, I'm sorry.

-It's all right, man.

So you were holding out on us.

It's just a game. -Not

the way you play it.

Wait till we go to Austin, we're gonna

kick butt all the way to Pizza Hut.

Man, I wish we lived in

a town with a Pizza Hut!

Um, look, I can play at recess,

but I can't play on the team.

What do you mean?

I'm sorry, I can't.

-I don't get it.

It's a family thing.

All right, excitement's over.

Everyone take their seats.

Please!

I don't want Juan going

into the city by himself.

He doesn't go by

himself. We all go.

Yeah. -Yeah.

He'd probably do better without us,

Mrs. Morales, but it's a team sport.

Austin's really not that far.

You could come. My

mom's gonna go this time.

Oh, I can't. I

work during the day.

We can take care of

him, ma'am. We promise.

Yeah! Please! Please!

Control the ball now! Control!

You think they look athletic?

No, I think you look

athletic, Larry. -Really? Cool.

My Aunt Burr used to say,

"Anything you need in life

can probably be made with

masking tape and spit."

What are we making?

-Shin guards.

Oh!

Let's go, Terminators! -OK,

here we go, Terminators!

Ready, dude.

Come on, shoot it,

Tak! -You're wide open!

Shoot it now!

God! What's wrong with

you? You were wide open!

Come on, now, let's

hustle! Come on!

All right, we'll be back. Come

on. -Let's stay with it, guys!

Get the big one!

Get on the big one!

Terminators!

Here we come!

Hey, Larry! Larry, Larry.

Are you OK? -Can I

tell you a secret?

Well, sure.

When I get afraid...

I mean really afraid,

the players on the other team,

they change into these bad guys.

I mean, they really

change into these bad guys.

You're a pretty complicated guy,

Larry. Um... catch you later, big guy.

Come on in! All right. Polly, you

did great. Good going, Polly. Come on.

No one's passing to me.

-You'd just lose the ball.

Too many are passing it to me.

All right, now quiet down.

Quiet down. Quiet

down and listen to me!

Why should we listen to you?

- 'Cause I'm your coach.

No, you're just here 'cause

you're after our coach.

Yeah!

I'm here, midgets, and

that should be enough.

Well, it's not enough.

-Well, it is enough.

I'll tell you what, 'cause

I'm an adult, all right!

All right, guys! Hey,

this is wrong, all right.

We're not to fight each other,

whether it's on the field or off.

All right? This is not what we talked

about when we spoke of teamwork.

Stop calling them

midgets. -Yeah!

Now, listen to me. Juan

can't do everything.

You gotta pass to each other.

Right?

He's the only one

who's any good.

But playing like a team right now

is more important than winning.

And once we have more skills, that's

the only way you guys could ever win.

Exactly, right? So you

gotta support each other. OK?

Now look, look. Come

over here. Come here.

Let's say... gather around...

this is the field, right?

And Juan is right here. Now, if

they've got three defenders on Juan,

that means... -Two of

you guys are wide open.

Right. Take advantage of this, all

right? They're not expecting it.

Let's make a go of it, a game

of it. You see what I'm saying?

All right? -Yeah.

Kate! Kate!

Shoot it!

You scored! -I did it?

You scored! -I did

it! I did it! I did it!

I scored a goal! Yay!

I knew you could

do it! Whoo! -Whoo!

That's one. -Ah,

that was brilliant!

You're late.

We stopped at a Pizza

Hut after the game.

I scored a goal.

-Did you win?

No.

Next time we'll win.

Good. You guys are doing

good! -Looking good! Pass it!

Hey, you know, they're

getting better. -Yeah.

Hey, it's starting to rain.

Hey, Larry, come on in!

Hey, come on,

kids. Come on in!

Come on! It's raining! -Raining!

That's it for today! Time-out.

It's not over for us!

Come on! Come on in! -Come

on, Larry. Give us the ball!

No! You want it? Come

and get it! -Yeah!

Larry, give us the ball!

-Larry, gimme the ball, boy.

Let's make them

work to get the ball!

We better help 'em out. Those kids

are never gonna give up the ball.

I'm playing soccer!

-Let's play soccer!

? When the rain comes pouring

down and it just don"t seem to stop

? Remember good things fall from

heaven. It ain"t no time for giving up

Polly, come on,

you crazy girl!

Come on!

Yeah!

Lord have mercy! -We're

playing mud soccer!

Stop! I need help!

Thank you, God.

It's the same thing, isn't

it? Here and here and here.

It sure

is. -Uh-huh.

You see how that

works? -Yeah.

You look nice. Your

hair looks nice.

Thank you. -You're welcome.

All right, you guys. We

gotta mow the Big Green.

This is degrading.

Come on, guys. Am I the only

one doing anything here? Wimps.

It's heavy!

Count of three.

-One, two, three!

It won't slow down! It

won't slow down at all!

Oh, no!

Oh, no! Runaway cows!

The low-tech solution. -Cool.

We don't have to do anything.

It worked! This is awesome!

The cows actually worked.

Hey, look. Here comes Larry.

-This is rad! You are awesome!

Aah!

Gosh.

You're dead! -Oh, no!

That's great. Is that for

Sue or Lou? -I don't know.

Thank you!

Keep your eyes open and

keep your mouth closed.

Come on there, Polly!

That's it, good, Katie.

Nice! Very nice. Go on, Juan.

Good. Good pace. Keep it up.

Gently, gently.

Ninjas!

Corner kick, Big Green.

Score!

Juan!

Juan!

Good! Good! Good!

That's a hustle!

The walking dead.

Buccaneers!

Take it, Sue!

Vikings.

We're gonna come and

get you, little porker!

Goal! -Congratulations,

Coach. That's one.

Here she comes!

Surprise!

Hey, we figured out

what makes us special.

Well, I can see that. -It's not

all the stuff we put up, ma'am.

It's you. -Yeah.

Thank you.

What's this? St. Patrick's

Day? -Nah. It's Big Green Day.

Every day is Big Green Day

lately. -You got that right.

The championship game

is Saturday. -Oh, God.

Well, if it isn't Jay

Huffer! -In from the big city.
