The Game Plan Page #4

Peyton, sweetie, be a good girl

and cooperate with your daddy

and Auntie Stella will get you a nice

new BlackBerry with a Bluetooth.

And an upgrade

on your next international flight.

I'm eight.

Listen, Bratty McPain-in-the-Butt,

you will do whatever it takes

to help your father.

I'll pay for the therapy.

Listen, Peyton,

what Stella's trying to say here is

this right now is crunch time.

So, if something's bothering you,

then all you got to do...

Let's keep it bottled up

until after the playoffs.

Fine.

On one condition.

No nanny.

No way.

Hey...

- Let's go. Come on.

- I'm feeling a little dizzy, Joe.

Everything's all...

- Dizzy?

- I think it might be

from that funny yellow soft drink

Joe gave me last night.

What was it called again?

Margarita?

- You wouldn't.

- You wouldn't.

Try me.

Good morning, Joe. I'm ready to start!

Hey, Cindy!

You're fired.

Bye.

Joe! Joe!

Hey, Joe,

how can you remember the plays

when you can't remember

you have a daughter?

Joe, what is an 8-year-old girl doing

in a nightclub at 3:00 in the morning?

Thank you. Thank you guys

so much for coming out.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you so much for coming.

Great questions, by the way.

Thank you.

As you all know by now,

I've recently learned I'm a father.

And clearly,

I'm still getting the hang of things.

That's not an excuse, Joe.

But you better believe that Peyton's

nightclub evenings are behind her.

Because from now on, we're both

going to be going to sleep early, right?

Now, who's number one on the field

and number one in your heart?

Let's go.

Can I say something, please?

No. Let's go.

Hi, everybody, I'm Peyton,

the one who'll be going to bed early

from now on.

My dad didn't have much of

a heads-up on this whole father thing

and he is still

getting the hang of things.

But it's like everything else in his life.

He never says "no. "

I mean, he's teaching me

that you can do anything

if you've got motivation

and determination.

And the place where that starts

is right here, in the heart.

You're the world's greatest father.

That was good.

- That was really good.

- It's going to cost you.

...two, three, four, grand pli...

There you go, there you go.

And...

Come on, this isn't a sport.

Football. Football's a sport.

Excuse me. Hi. Can I help you?

Hello. This is Peyton.

- Hi.

- And she's here for this.

So, I guess I'll be back

in a couple of hours. Bye.

Well, class started 15 minutes ago,

and we don't accept students

without an audition

and that happened last month,

so I'm really sorry.

I'm sure maybe we can

work something out?

Money's no object,

as you probably know.

Okay, the thing is

that this is a professional school, and...

- That's very nice.

- Thank you.

Go change, go on, go change.

Let me see how she does today. Okay?

All right.

Maybe I'll... I'll try and...

We'll get somebody...

The moms sit over there.

Excuse me. Thank you.

And one, two, three, very long...

Come on, come on.

And one, two, three, four.

Open up, like a princess, chin up.

Thank you.

Beautiful class, everybody. Beautiful.

Peyton, come here.

Can I tell you that that was so, so good.

Peyton, come here.

Can I tell you that that was so, so good.

Thank you.

Our next big performance

is in three weeks.

But if you promise me that you're going

to work extra, extra, super, super, hard,

we'd love to have you.

- I'll come every single day.

- All day, every day.

Well, it is a ballet school,

not a childcare facility.

And when we make a commitment

to a student,

we ask that the parents

make a commitment to the school.

Can you do that?

Well, I think you can make

a little exception for me.

- And why is that?

- You don't know who I am?

No.

I'm Joe Kingman, baby!

The quarterback of the Boston Rebels.

Number one on that field

and number one

in your pretty little heart.

"The King of the Gridiron. "

"Never-Say-No Joe?"

No? Nothing?

Odd.

- Well, don't you know who I am?

- No.

I'm Monique Vasquez,

the lady with the ballet school,

the one that doesn't accept

any new students full-time

unless she knows for a fact

that the parents are going to help out.

That's fine. Fine. I promise. Whatever.

Let's go.

Who doesn't know

who Joe Kingman is?

She must be living under a rock.

Raef will take it this time.

- He shoots! Come on!

- Got it.

- Yeah!

I didn't see what happened

to Paul Pierce.

We'll be right back

- after a word from our...

- Let's go, Paul!

I can't believe they came from 10 down.

Hey, keep this clean. Use the napkins.

Don't look at me like that.

Use a napkin.

Yeah, you tell him. You tell him, Spike.

Mean old Daddy.

Let's get Webber.

Webber, you want a soda?

Huh?

Yeah. Yeah, thanks.

Oh...

- That's refreshing.

- Good one.

What's up, Joe?

I don't know, Coop. What do you think?

That's a $40,000 couch.

I asked you to be careful!

- Which bathroom should I use?

- The one off the trophy room.

Come on, Pierce!

Paul Pierce comes down

with the board.

The man's a beast.

You saw that, Joe. You saw that.

That's why the Celtics

are my team for life.

Celtics got this one locked up.

Hold on, hold on...

Wait a second. Wait a minute.

Little bit more.

Stop growling. Hold on.

One, two, three.

What did I do?

Let's go, Paul Pierce.

Time to come through.

- Okay, here we go, baby. Here we go.

- Three seconds left.

Welcome to

the Magical World of Ponies.

What happened?

Get it back! Get it back!

Get the game back!

Get the mechanicals!

The mechanicals.

The mechanicals, Joe!

- What are you doing?

- I'm trying! I'm trying!

It's right there. See?

Unbelievable!

We missed it!

- You gotta celebrate.

- Peyton.

What did I do?

Thanks, Joe. Let's go, guys.

Wait. Where are you going?

You don't have to leave.

Where are you guys going?

- I got to get home to...

- Where?

Nothing.

What did I tell you

about touching the remote?

Bath. Bed. Now.

Just got to add a little bit

of bubble bath.

Not too much. That's good.

Perfect.

This could take a while.

But what really sets

this future Hall of Famer apart...

Passion for the game.

Spike, you know the rule,

no barking when I'm on TV!

Spike!

Spike?

What happened?

Spike.

Peyton?

Peyton! Peyton!

Peyton!

I'm not going to yell.

We're going to have a very calm

And rational discussion

about all...

You Bedazzled my football.

You guys comfortable? My pillow.

King on the couch!

This is ridiculous.

Never

say...

No! No!

I have to warm up.

I have to practice.

I have a playoff game this weekend.

Do you...

Do you know what that means?

My guess is that it means

you have a playoff game this weekend.

My dog, my bed, my car, my TV,

my stereo...

Is nothing sacred?

My towel! My towel.

This is all mine! It's all me!

It's all mine! This is all me!

This is my towel.

Hi, everybody, I'm Marv Albert,

along with Boomer Esiason.

We're here in the Mile High City

where Denver hosts Boston
