The Mighty Macs Page #3

Good afternoon, Sister.

Good afternoon, Coach.

Heavenly Father.

l seek your help in this time of need.

There are times...

when we need the strength to

survive things on our own.

And then, there are times

when we need your help

and the help of others.

And, l ask for your help

in finding me an assistant coach.

Of course, she'll have to help me

find a gym to play our home game.

Hah.

And it'll be really great

if she had a car.

Okay, now you're pushing it.

Well.

Oh, come on, you just need a driver.

Look, we can do this.

Now it's a we?

l know l can't do it alone.

Amen.

Was than Amen, or l'm in?

Both.

Move the ball.

Get back, get back.

Little safer at the end of the bench.

What can l do for you Trish?

l got a job in a department store

and they need me

there three days a week.

Well, we're going to miss you.

Can l do both?

Oh, not in our program.

ls that job something

you've always dreamed of?

No, not really.

But employees do

get fim percent discount.

l can only tell you this,

have the courage to

follow your dreams.

That's your gift to the world.

Maybe it's working in

a department store, l don't know.

But, if you give that gift,

l promise,

a day will come when

the world returns the favor.

l thought dreams were

only for rich kids?

No, dreams are for eveybody,

all you need is the heart.

You have the gift to play this game,

Trish Sharkey.

There is no doubt in my mind,

but you have to believe it.

You let me know what you decide,

all right?

So, what a million dollars?

Wouldn't it be better just to

borrow against the equih?

That would barely be enough

to pay for the upkeep.

But, where would my Sisters go?

We will have more than enough to

insure they enjoy a comfortable life.

But, what about the students?

There are plenh of colleges

in this area.

l might have a tough time

explaining this to my wife

and her former classmates.

But, if you could secure

a written offer

with those hpes of numbers,

we'd be foolish not to sell.

l move that we improve

the research of these activities

and ask that we reconvene

in nineh days.

l, l think we'd be playing better

ifwe just had a few more things,

so l put a list together.

Here we go.

Ah, you may not be able to

read my handwriting...

ah, new uniforms, ah warm ups and,

and, and team sneakers.

Oh yes, well,

l'd be happy to be of assistance.

Yeah?

Sure, just follow me.

Let's see what we have.

This is my room, you can help

yourself to anything l have.

And then Mimi crashes

the boards hard.

Where you going?

Frankie, you have friends?

Aqm.

Friends who play basketball?

ls there another kind?

Ohh, l hope this works.

Rosemay...

if Frankie is cutting through the lane,

you need to keep contact with him.

lf he's going to be aggressive,

how should you play?

Same way.

Right on, but with a pony tail.

Let's go, ball in.

Sounds good. Good stum.

lt's okay to pass the ball, Frankie.

Thank you.

Flash to the ball

Good, good, good. Yes.

Blow the whistle.

Hey, Colleen, you need to

get bemeen him and the basket.

How many times did Coach

go over this.

See your man, and the ball...

okay.

Know where he is at all times.

Find him and box up.

Stay with him, just like this,

don't let him get the rebound. Okay?

Good job.

Mrs. Rush,

may l have a word with you, please?

There are no men

allowed on this campus,

let alone having physical

contact with our girls.

Now, send these boys home.

l've got my eye on you mo.

All right boys, ah,

that'll do for today.

Reverend Mother

wasn't always this stressed.

When she first got here,

we'd stay up all night playing Poker.

Of course, that's when they used to

give us walking around money.

She'd look at her cards,

Iay them down,

straighten out here cash and say...

be not afraid.

Then she'd bet evemhing.

Boy, was she good.

Oh, she took a few bucks from me.

And that activih room

used to be packed,

l'd have to wait thim minutes

to get on the bike.

Those were the days.

People had

a little respect for the habit.

Now look at us, in a few years,

we're going to be

an exhibit at the Smithsonian.

We need to stick together.

First mitch, oh,

somebody better help me out here.

Oh, bless you.

Maybe you could

use some of your rec time

and come out and cheer

on the basketball team.

Watch the pick and roll.

Hold.

Time out.

You got to get there sooner.

l tried.

-Move your feet...

-you can't just stand there

after you get beat.

lf you call for help

and she helps you,

then you need to help her.

Help the helper,

that is the way it works.

Does eveybody understand that?

Just play the team, all right.

Bring it in.

One, mo, three, team.

Team!

Help, help, help.

Help your man.

Protect the basket,

come on, move your feet.

You call that, defense?

l need to find out

who wants to be here.

Shake hands and get in the van.

Come on, girls. Let's Go.

It's okay.

What is she doing?

l don't know.

Watch your step, ladies.

Come on, pick it up. Bring it in.

Colleen.

Come on, come on.

All right, take your jackets off.

Jackets off.

Let's go, defensive slide drills.

Here?

Defensive slide drills.

Who's first?

Mimi. You're up.

Palms up, back side down.

Up and back. Go, go, go.

Trish, Colleen, Gail,

Rosemay, come on, come on.

lf you want to stay dy,

you need to lift your feet.

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster.

l don't like this.

Cathy, that's enough.

Here we go, here we go,

here we go, here we go.

Again, here we go,

one more time.

Get through.

Trish, get in there.

Lizanne, come on.

Gail, Rosemay, come on, come on.

Our results will not change

until our habits change.

Too dangerous.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Here we go, here we go.

Get back in now, go, go, go.

Lower, lower, lower, lower, faster.

Keep your feet dy.

Are we in it together?

Cathy, stop.

Here we go, you're not done.

Going back.

How much are you willing to sacrifice,

huh, how much?

Come on, move, move, move.

There you go, there you go.

There you go. Keep it going.

Cathy, that's enough.

Here we go,

one more time, back in.

Keep your feet dy.

Here we go, come on,

come on, come on.

Cathy, stop. These girls were

sent here for an education.

ln what, historic preservation?

l'll see you in the morning.

Hey.

What?

Maybe this isn't working out

the way we planned, huh?

Well, you're going to have to adjust.

Huh, l'm going to have to adjust?

To what?

To never seeing each other, to ah...

never having dinner together,

to ah, ah,

watching game films together.

You know,

maybe l don't want to adjust, huh.

lt's not my fault you're ah,

spinning your wheels on something

that no one cares about, Cathy.

l, l care.

What, you'd rather

l just sit at home all day

while you travel

allover the county?

Yes, you know,

l travel so l can pay for this apartment

and evemhing else that's here.

What they pay you,

that's not even legal.

All right, most women,

they would be grateful.

Grateful?
