The Mighty Macs Page #4

Hey, in the past three years,

do you know

what l've done with my free time.

l go to your games.

l find the time to support you.

So, l'm thinking you don't

understand what grateful is.

Ah, l didn't know

you were so unhappy.

l am not unhappy.

Well, you don't sound

too happy right now.

l'm frustrated, it's dimerent.

Because you're tying

too hard to change these girls,

Cathy, and they don't want it.

lt's not that they don't want it,

it's that they have been told

so long that they can't have it,

that, that they can't

even imagine wanting it.

You know, l can't even talk to you.

Seven am, and ah...

They're not here. It's okay.

Maybe l pushed them too far.

Maybe Ed is right,

and they're not like me,

and they don't want what l want.

Mrs. Rush, your entire team

broke cumew last night.

We've never had that before,

nor have we had anyone

endanger the lives of the girls.

l...

Now, that is unacceptable.

You leave me no choice.

lt was my idea.

l should have known.

So, you finish out the season,

and then that's it.

Don't be surprised

if all the others quit, too.

You didn't have to do that.

l know. But, we can't give up.

l don't know if you've noticed, but...

we have no team.

Rosemay, you're going to

force the ball in the sidelines.

Now, l need you

to keep your feet dy.

You got that?

Trish, Trish, you're going to

sneak in and double team.

Don't reach,

no don't reach because, Gail,

l want to anticipate this pass

across court, you got that?

Here we go.

Yeah.... one, mo, three, team!

One, mo, three, team!

Go, yeah. Get in there.

Go girls. Right, right, right.

Go, go. Nice.

Yes, yes, yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

That's what l'm talking about.

What?

Nothing.

May l help you ladies?

Coldest thing on tap.

Okay.

-l'll ah, have the same.

-Okay.

Oh and ah,

melve number mos to go.

You got it.

And put those drinks on my tab.

Oh no, you, you don't have to do that.

It's fine.

Thank you.

Just passing through?

Aren't we all.

l like a woman with

a sense of humor

but l bet a prem gal such as

yourself must be hitched?

You could say that.

What's the old man do?

He's ah... carpenter.

He's good with his hands, is he?

Works miracles.

And you?

Ah... my husband's also vey good

with his hands, thanks for asking.

The good ones are always taken.

Ah, do you ladies like to dance?

Thank you, but we'll have to pass.

Ah, girls night out.

l can respect that.

You ladies have a nice evening.

You, too.

You are trouble.

Takes one to know one.

Nice win.

Who's in?

l am.

Ah, Math.

Who do you pray to when you need

help balancing your checkbook?

Ah, l just pray to my Dad.

My Dad would kill me

if he knew l was going to college.

What?

Daddy, l'm thinking about

becoming a Nun,

and would love to volunteer

at Immaculata.

He don't know?

No. Now he thinks l'm the team Nurse.

Does Coach know?

Yeah. She said we'd wait for

a quiet moment to let him know.

So, when did you... know?

l'd been with this ad agency for...

four years,

finally got my first big promotion,

and l felt, nothing.

l woke up the next day, and, thought.

There has to be

more to life than this?

So you just... Ieft?

Well, the first thing l did

was break up with my boyfriend.

You had a boyfriend?

l was menh-six and living

in Manhattan.

So. do, do you ever miss it?

Sometimes.

But, my whole life l had listened

to others tell me what l should do.

And this time, l listened to

that little voice inside of me.

Uh.

So, l quit my job and took

a bus to Immaculata.

Why there?

l had this great, Immaculate Heart

of May Nun, in high school.

She whispered something to me

that l'll never forget.

Jesus likes to dance.

That's how l reacted too.

lt forever changed the way

l look at things.

Like, the whole wedding

an canna thing,

apparently he was having

a good time and wanted to stay.

Oh, it sounds just like Ed.

l mean, not that Ed is like you.

He really loves to dance.

Have you told him lately??

Told him what?

How much you love him.

Yeah, sure.

l mean, not exactly.

Ah, a little hectic lately. Umh.

That's why l'm asking.

Since when did you become

so perceptive?

l'm just saying...

keep your eye on the ball, Coach.

So, you think you'll stay?

lf it's meant to be.

One, mo, three, team!

That's it, come on. Let's go.

Come on, Trish. Come on, come on.

Here we go.

Alright.

There you go!

Run it out, run it out.

Let's go, Rosemay.

That's her.

Who?

My old coach.

Great game. Great game.

Looks like l might

have been wrong about you.

Well, thank you.

Next time, you play the Varsih.

What was that about?

l started Freshman

and Sophmore year,

after that she cut me, mice.

Why?

Said l wasn't a team player.

Hello.

Hey, it's me.

Hey. Where are you,

l thought you'd be home by now?

Yeah, the train got delayed

and l'm stuck in Newark.

What?

Yeah, l know.

Hey, how was your game?

We won.

That's great.

How did you do

l did all right.

lt was close, but l, l did all right.

Oh, we're leaving now, so ah,

l'll see you in a few hours.

Okay, travel safely, all right.

hey Cathy... l love you.

l love you, too.

Hey, honey.

Yeah?

Thanks for asking about my game.

You're welcome.

Where did you guys meet?

At a basketball campus.

Did you know right away

that he was the one?

l did.

How did he propose?

What makes you think he proposed?

Really?

No, but l thought about it.

Was it fun shopping for a dress?

Well, my Mother made it.

Did you have a good wedding?

No, we eloped and then ah,

came back and had a pam.

That's so meet.

l can't wait for my wedding day.

Nine, ten...

Good afternoon, girls.

Hi Coach.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

Where's Lizanne?

No one's seen her all day.

Well, was she in class?

No, Coach, she wasn't.

Again.

That's nineh dollars and fim cents.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Have a great day.

l got it.

Thanks for the jackets,

have a nice day.

Oh, hello, Coach.

Thanks for coming.

She still in bed?

Yes. Come in.

Hey, Coach.

We missed you today.

l'm sory.

Give us a few minutes.

She's a mass.

You okay?

Yeah.

Breaking up is the worst.

l know there is nothing

l can say right now

to make you feel better, but...

l just loved him so much.

Hey. What are some of the things

he's going to miss about you?

Right now? Nothing.

Not true.

What makes you such a special person?

l know the anmer

but l want you to tell me.

l'm bilingual.

Okay.

And l think

l'm a prem good dancer.

You know, for a Catholic girl.

Go on.

And l... and l think l'm prem,

probably not right now.

You are. All of those things,

even right now.

And, what you think of

yourself

is way more important

than what he thinks of you.

This isn't you.

Don't let his jacket define

who you are.

This is who you are.

Ty it on.

Might be easier

if you stand up.

You've earned this jacket,

and nobody can take it

away from you. Right?

The team's waiting for you.

Coach.

Thank you.

l've already phoned

our Sisters in Baltimore.
