The Comebacks Page #7
of a real relationship.
That I'm not afraid anymore.
That I am dying to let
you know how much I love you.
Nope, I never got that.
Oh. Okay, well, check.
Maybe it fell into the back
of your locker or something.
Yeah, I'll... okay.
Lance.
Wait.
There's something else
that I wanted to give you.
This.
Well, isn't that sweet?
Trotter...
We'll settle this on the field.
Woo! Michelle!
Got your letter, baby.
You and me after
the game, mama.
Woo! Yeah.
John, the excitement is so thick
In this stadium,
you could cut it with a knife.
A- A-And there's two things
That I love to cut with a knife.
One of'em is turkey,
and the other one is excitement.
And if you're a Comebacks fan,
You got to hope
they're not the turkeys.
But you have to believe
The Unbeatables will be
the guys with the knives.
Take a look down there-
It's unbelievable what's going on.!
Believers coming through!
- That's right! Get up!
- Get up!
- That's right. What's up?
- Come on. What's up!
What's up, eighth row?
Uh-Uh!
And the team captains
Take the field, ready
for the ceremonial coin toss.
Call it in the air.
And when I say "it,"
I do mean the coin.
Where is it?
Now where is it?
It's right here in your ear.
Call it in the air.
We'll receive.
Yeah, baby! Yeah!
Okay, ready... hut!
Unbeatables back to pass.
He's wide open.!
The bomb.!
He could go
All the way...
To Mexico.!
Green-20!
Green-20!
Hut!
Nah, you take that!
You take that!
Ooh!
Like you took my girl!
Personal foul.
Cock blocking.
Look, it's nothing personal, Trotter.
I'm in love with her, man.
Man, only thing you love
is taking my girl from me.
Man, would you guys shut up?
This game's bigger
than the two of you.
Football taught me
how to cope...
With anger, with life.
This team's all I got.
Without it, I have nothing.
Back on the skreets.
Dude,
Your parents
just bought you a house.
A condo.
A junior one-Bedroom.
Where am I supposed
to park my Prius, dawg?
All right, all right.
Pro-Right-94, on one.
On one. Ready?
Break!
Hut!
How about a flag, ref?
My guy's getting mugged out there.
Don't take
my Gold Card, man. Come on.
That's ridiculous.
How much is he paying you?
A 1,000 dollars a call.
Twice the going rate.
Where is it now?
Hut!
Come on, ref!
That's attempted homicide!
You gotta call that!
What are you guys, blind?
Unbeatables up the middle
For an easy touchdown.!
They're running
all over the Comebacks,
Who are more than overmatched.
Jim Rome here, and this is a ridiculous
Half-Time score:
35 to nothing.!BOTH:
We believe. We believe.
We believe.
So, you ready to give up?
Almost.
Hey, hey, my favorite part of the game-
The half-Time show.!
Janet Jackson and Justin
Timberlake couldn't make it,
So instead, we present you
with this wholesome salute
To American values.
#The weekend's here #
# The weather's nice,
two football teams are playin' #
# I put your
favorite beer on ice #
#But the couch
is where you're staying #
# The game is
on the plasma screen #
#Got deep-Fried snacks
for munchin' #
# Rootin' for
the home team #
#Oops, wardrobe
malfunction #
I mean, I mean,
was wearing
A lot of clothes,
then she wasn't wearing
A lot of clothes,
and then boom, I got a chubby.
Take a knee.
Listen up.
I've been a loser all my life.
I came into this world ass-First.
I was raised as a girl till
my walnuts dropped at age 13.
I didn't lose my virginity
until I was 22.
That was by accident.
I didn't know
I was gonna have to pay for it-
I thought it was a date.
I've destroyed everything
I've ever touched,
Chased away everyone
who's ever loved me.
I am...
...a failure as a husband
And a father and a coach.
And a human being.
Um... Coach?
Isn't this the part
Where you turn
your personal tragedies
And shortcomings
Into a rousing,
inspirational rally cry?
Huh?
Oh. That's a great idea.
You're a real asset
to the team!
Well, thanks, Coach.
Does that mean I can play
in the second half?
No, absolutely not.
All right.
All right.
I don't think
I have to tell you all,
The scope
of the second half is to...
Aim high.
And I...
Pledge... to all of you.
That you will be
Showered...
By the cheers
And shouts of joy...
From your fans.
It depends...
...on you now.
Remember...
Your preparation
H...
And you can all be...
Champs!
Yeah, champs!
All right, let's close our eyes
and bow our heads.
Okay, you can open
your eyes again.
All right, let's go get 'em!
Second half just under way,
And despite the score,
it seems the Comebacks
Are even more fired up.!
And nobody wants this
More than Coach Fields.
That's the way!
That's the way!
Hope you had a good rest, Oprah.
Actually, Coach gave
a very inspirational spee...
Wait a minute, what'd you say?
Oprah. I'm saying you're
as fat as Oprah, you fat ass!
Are you
saying Oprah's fat?
Oprah's an incisive
and charitable lady,
You miserable piece of sh*t!
The toss to Trotter...
Ooh.! And Truman lays
a huge block.!
Go, go!
Yeah!
That's the way!
Truman scrambling.
Nowhere to go.!
Oh, look at that, Trotter
takes out two Unbeatables.!
I mean, I mean,
Looks like he's
gonna score, Al.!
The Comebacks are finally
starting to play like a team.!
Yes! Yes! Yes.
Oh!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Nice block.
Thanks.
Nice run.
Thanks.
Hey, Lance.
Be good to her, man.
Be good to her, too.
Not all about winning, is it?
Hey, cameraman!
I hope you're
watching, Barb.
John, it looks like Coach Fields
Is holding up the sign,
"I heart you. "
Oh, he loves me.
Like chili fries
and the smell of his own burps.
BOTH He loves you, Barb.
He loves you, Barb.
He loves you, Barb.
He loves you, Barb.
He loves you, Barb.
He loves you, Barb.
He loves you, Barb.
He loves you, Barb.
Why can't I have that?
It's so beautiful.
Aww.
Hey, Coach!
Suppose I can get in the game?
Hey, guys, look who's back.
- I'm a quick healer.
- Hey, gang.
The cavalry's arrived.
And he goes by the name of-
Aseel Tare.
Okay, I got it. ACL Tear,
get out there. Let's go.
Not you Randy. Not you.
Set!
Brown-88! Hike!
Aseel Tare with the carry.
Look at that.!
He's got the entire defense
on his back.
The pile is clearing, John.
Yeah, yeah, it is. And take a look at that.
He got ripped into pieces.
Oh!
No worries!
I'm a quick healer. Whoo!
Yeah!
John, what we're seeing here
Is a definite shift
in momentum.
I mean, we-we really are, Al.
I mean, y-You take a look
at what's happening
And they were down by a lot
And now they're not down
by as much
And-And pretty soon
they could erase this deficit.
Randy.
Randy.
Randy.
Randy! Randy!
Randy! Randy! Randy! Randy!
Randy! Randy! Randy!
Randy! Randy!
They're calling your name, son.
Get out there!
Randy! Randy!
Go! Go, Randy!
Would you look at this.!
Randy Randinger is making
His first appearance ever
for the Comebacks.!
Randinger's wide open.!
