The Game Plan

All right, all right. All right, all right.

Never

say

no.

Well, this is Kingman's

defining moment, Marv.

If they win, they guarantee themselves

a spot in the playoffs.

Everybody get on the King's back

and I'm going to lead you

to the promised land.

- All right? On one, on one. Ready?

- Break!

Go deep.

Watch your left!

Let's go!

Pick him up. Pick him up.

Sanders. Sanders.

Go wide!

Hut-hut!

Hut!

All right, here's

Kingman. Drops back in the pocket.

He's got Sanders wide open

in the end zone.

Kingman is on the run.

He's inside the five.

He stiff-arms. It's the Kingman swing.

And he is in! Touchdown, Rebels.

They've won it.

What a

tremendous play by Kingman, Marv.

But I have to wonder,

yesterday he was...

The King does it again!

- Go Joe!

- Go Joe!

- Never say no!

- Never say no!

Yeah!

WZPZ FM.

Hey, Boston. Happy New Year.

And a special shout out to our Rebels.

Don't party too hard, boys.

You're going to need all your strength

to bring home that championship.

- Enjoy your drink.

- To us.

Hope it's okay.

I'm telling you guys,

these aren't the normal onion rings.

They got garlic and mint leaves.

I mean, like, beluga caviar.

Hey, Coop. Coop, check it out.

- See the hottie? 12 o'clock, tan dress?

- Oh, yeah.

I think she said

you have a killer smile, bro.

I do.

You should go talk to her.

- You think so?

- I know so. Come on.

Get in there. Get in there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, swamp mouth.

Use some of this. Chicks dig it.

- Webber, you got a pen?

- Why?

Because you might want

to take some notes.

What's up?

Webber!

I told you, they bumped up shoot.

I have to catch last flight to Paris.

But Tatianna will miss you.

The King doesn't want his queen

to miss him too much.

So I got you a little something special.

- Close your eyes.

- Okay.

Tatianna, Tatianna. Which one?

Which one?

No peeking.

Dreams are on Joe tonight, honey.

Happy New Year.

- Channel?

- Or Chanel.

Whoa, Sanders.

Where you going?

Just past your bedtime?

Yeah, well, you know,

it's New Year's Eve.

Want to go home,

hug the wife, kiss the kids.

All right, thanks for coming.

Happy New Year.

- All right, Happy New Year.

- All right, see you at practice.

All right, see you.

All right, Joe. Come on, it's real funny.

Now, just give me back the wallet,

all right?

I'm looking to confiscate

Sanders' man card,

but his wife, Maria,

has already done it.

- Yes, really...

- Come on. Get a life, Sanders.

Oh, you call this "life"?

That ain't life, Joe.

Oh, you call this "life"?

That ain't life, Joe.

- Whatever.

- He's mad. That was funny, man.

- Who's ready to party?

- I am.

Party!

Yeah!

Where can I get a man card?

- Why? The night is still young!

- We can walk Spike.

- Play the guitars, Joe. Come on.

- We were just bonding.

- I love that idea.

- We're starting to jell.

- Call me.

- Joe...

We were doing so good.

Hey, Spike. There's my boy.

Haven't seen you all night.

Do you know who the greatest

quarterback of all time is?

Just checking. Let's go! Huddle up!

Can you feel it? Can you smell it?

Do you believe it?

Z- slant Mississippi! On three. Ready?

Break! Hut! Hut! Hut!

Come on, Spike.

We need a football biscuit.

Oh, that's a good one.

Oh, this is a good one.

Kingman drops back, he's...

Oh, defenders are coming around.

Post pattern, Spike. Post pattern.

He throws.

Touchdown! They're going crazy.

Crazy.

Gracias, Rosa. Enjoy your vacation.

What do you want to do, Spike?

What do you want to do today?

It's a new year.

You want to play football?

You want to go for a walk?

You want to watch the new ESPN

special profile on Joe Kingman?

I know you do. Me, too. Watch. Watch.

Here we go.

Attaboy.

Blessed with crazy strength and

ridiculous agility...

Ridiculous.

...Joe Kingman could have succeeded

on talent alone.

But what really sets

this future hall-of-famer apart

is his passion for the game.

And no one sums it up better

than Joe himself.

- Wait a minute, that's not what I said.

- Listen, listen.

- What I said was this. Life...

- Life...

...holds many pleasures for me.

... holds many pleasures for me.

- But...

- But...

...nothing...

... nothing...

...nothing beats the thrill...

... nothing beats the thrill...

...of playing on that field...

... of playing on that field...

...every Sunday.

... every Sunday.

- Football is my life.

- Football is my life.

- Beyond the field...

- Beyond the field...

...nothing else matters.

... nothing else matters. Watch this.

Nothing.

If nothing else really matters,

why does that championship ring

elude Kingman?

Some of the experts say

it's because he's too selfish.

I mean, think about it...

How does that sound, Stuey?

Joe, you're a 30-something now,

not a 20-something.

The clock is ticking, Joe.

Ticking on your career.

Blah, blah, blah...

You come talk to me when you have

your own action figure, Stuey.

- Yeah?

Pardon me, Mr. Kingman.

I have a visitor here at reception.

- A Peyton Kelly, sir.

- I don't know any Peytons.

A young lady.

- Is she cute?

- Oh, exceedingly so, sir.

Well, what are you waiting for, Larry?

Send her up.

He never says "no. "

I am the king. Thank you very much.

Hmm.

Look out.

Hello.

- Goodbye.

Hey!

Look, kid, I don't do Girl Scout cookies,

okay?

You don't get abs like these

eating Peanut Butter Patties,

you know?

Go ahead, hit me. Come on!

Give it a shot. Come on.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

Bye-bye.

It's ridiculous.

I don't know what it is you're selling.

Look what I have, here's a hundo.

I don't want any money. I want...

I know. I know what you want. I get it.

It's what the world wants.

An autograph of Joe Kingman.

They all want it, eight to 80.

You'll probably go sell it,

but I'm going to give it to you for free.

Because I'm Joe Kingman,

humanitarian.

Happy New Year. I'll be right back.

You have a bulldog. Come here, boy.

You're so cute.

Easy, easy.

He's a very vicious attack dog.

Yeah. He's going to lick me to death.

Listen, you just can't come walking

into strangers' homes like this.

There are a lot of weirdos out there

in the world.

- Didn't your mom ever teach you that?

- Yeah.

- Well, where is she?

- On an airplane.

On an airplane?

Well, who are you here with?

My father.

Well, you better go get him,

because I'm sure he's looking for you.

- He's not looking for me.

- How do you know?

Because he's looking at me.

What?

Hi, we've never met before.

You were married to my mom, Sara.

Sara Kelly?

My name is Peyton. I'm your daughter.

No. No. Nope. No!

No. Time out.

Sara and I never had a kid.

- She wrote you a note.

- Wrote me a note.

"Joe, I know this is a big surprise,

but Peyton is your daughter.

"I need you to watch her for a month.

It's an emergency.

"I'll explain everything

when I get back. Sara. "

You sure got a lot of pictures

of yourself in here.

You expect me to believe

you're my kid, based on this?

- Anybody could have written this.
