The Winning Season Page #3

Okay, l'll give you 10.

Twenty.

-Eleven.

-Eleven?

-Eleven.

-Fifteen.

And l get to use the gym to work out

during practices.

You work out?

All right, we lost, and we lost bad.

Now, part of that's my fault.

l never coached girls' basketball before.

Aside from my daughter's freshmen games,

l never even watch girls' basketball.

l didn't expect the other teams

could be so much better.

l just thought everyone would kind of suck.

That's obviously not the case.

We're behind.

We need to catch up.

We need to catch up fast,

or we're not even gonna be able

to lose our games with any dignity.

You have a daughter?

From now on, we're gonna run practices

mornings and afternoons.

From now on until the end of the season,

l don't want you to think about anything

but basketball.

l don't even want you to dream

about anything else.

What about schoolwork?

Yeah, all right, schoolwork.

Basketball and schoolwork.

We can't forget about our families.

No, no, family's important.

l'm not asking you to take me that literally.

-What about global warming?

-Excuse me?

-The planet's dying. It's kind of a big deal.

-Yeah, don't you care?

All right, all right.

l don't want you to think about anything

but basketball, schoolwork...

-What did you say?

-Family.

Families and global warming.

Okay? Got it?

l guess.

l want you to treat these

like they're your babies.

''Treat these like your babies''

is a sexist analogy.

You should tell us

to treat them like our pets.

-You all right there, kid? Yes, darling?

-Can we treat them like puppies?

Like little Chihuahuas?

l want to put them in my purse.

-Well, yeah. That sounds great.

-l know.

Do you want a little puppy food, too,

for the balls?

-Yeah!

-Yeah. Yeah.

Just take them with you

wherever you go, okay?

,

Home, out to eat, at the mall

-when you're taking a dump.

-But we'll look like idiots.

No, you looked like idiots last night.

You start taking this game

a little more seriously and that will change.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-What's going on? Where's Molly?

-Molly's at Gracie's birthday party.

-What?

-Yeah.

What are you talking about? It's my day.

l tried to call you.

You really need to get a cell phone.

No, no, no, no.

That's not how this is supposed

to work, okay?

-Okay, Bill, just sit down.

-Yeah, let's sit down for a second.

This is my day, Stacey, okay?

l'm not gonna take less time

than l already have, okay?

You want to know why

she feels uncomfortable around me?

lt's because you never pick up the phone

when l call.

-You pit her against me.

-No. Calm down.

You're legally obligated

-to tell me where she is.

-l would think about that if l were you.

Tell me where she is.

Let's go. We're leaving.

Let's get out of here.

-Dad, what are you doing here?

-Come on. We're leaving. Let's go.

-No, l just... No, l just got here.

-Let's go.

What're you hanging out with him for?

He's got bad form. Let's go.

Let go of me!

-Get in the car.

-No!

Get in the car. Get in the car right now.

Get in the car right now.

-Hey. Hey, is everything all right here?

-Everything's fine. l'm her father.

Molly...

Hey, Molly.

Come on, Molly. l'm sorry, okay?

Molly?

Okay, l'm gonna open the door.

Molly, l'm opening the door, all right?

-Hey.

-Hey.

l need some help. Molly ran... She took off.

She ran down the fire escape

-and l don't know where she is.

-No, she's okay.

God damn it.

l was worried sick about you, young lady.

-l was worried sick about you.

-Look, you go home.

You don't want to push it.

-She's really emotional...

-Let me talk to her.

Don't come in my house.

-Hey, hey, hey.

-She doesn't want to talk to you.

-Here we go. Mr. Right's here.

-ls everything okay?

ls everything okay with you?

-We're fine here.

-Hey, get out of here, will you? Please.

-You're getting out of line.

-Yeah?

-You okay?

-Yeah, l'm fine.

All right. l'm right over here.

Look at me.

-Come out here. l want to talk to you.

-Billy, look at me.

-Let me just talk to her, okay?

-She wants me to call the cops.

She wants me to get a restraining order.

-What? What is she talking about?

-Listen. You embarrassed her.

Molly, come on. Let me talk to you for a sec.

You should go home.

Molly, come...

What are you willing to do

to win this game?

-Anything?

-Anything, huh? Gee.

Would you follow her? Come here.

Go ahead, now, push me.

-No balance, right?

-No.

l want you to set a wide base.

l want you to keep low on that defense,

you understand?

Get your arm out. Be the boss!

This is our house.

And you're the home team.

'Cause we got a whole crowd

of people out there

waiting to see what's gonna happen.

They didn't come in here to see us...

See you guys have fun,

or get along as a team,

or any of that other bullshit.

They came to see their school kick ass!

That's the only thing

that's gonna make them want to come back,

so let's get out there

and let's give them what they want,

all right?

Whose house is it?

-Our house?

-Whose house?

-Our house.

-Our house.

Whose house?

-Our house!

-Our house!

l can't hear you! Whose house?

-Our house!

-Our house!

-Whose house?

-Our house!

-Whose house?

-Our house!

That's right!

Is there anything you'd like to add?

Donna? Would you like to say something?

You know, l remember when l was a girl,

my father,

he would take me out to shoot hoops,

and l wasn't very good at it,

but he always said to me,

''Donna, l think you should

stop playing basketball...''

Okay, that's enough.

That's good. That's good. That's good.

Let's go. Let's get out there.

Let's go!

Nice.

-Tamra! Tamra! Tamra!

-Chargers!

-l brought this for you.

-What is it?

lt's a burrito.

l thought you could document our downfall.

Abbie, l'm open.

Get back!

l'm open!

She's open! Give it to her!

-Lisa!

-Give it to her! She's open! Give it to her!

What are you doing?

What the hell are you doing?

What are you thinking?

-Tamra.

-Tamra, post up!

Timeout. Timeout. Timeout. Timeout.

Come on, come on.

What are you guys doing out there?

What are you doing?

Tamra, you got to stay tight

on that big girl under the bucket. Come on!

-She's scoring all the points for her team.

-What do you mean, ''big girl''?

-What?

-Do you mean fat?

Are you calling her fat?

Look, just because someone's big,

it doesn't mean they're fat.

Okay, l didn't say she was fat.

No, but you called her big.

It's the same thing.

Jesus Christ, who gives a sh*t?

See, that's the attitude

that causes girls to have eating disorders.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-What do you want me to call her?

-Her name is Cindy.

Why don't you try that?

-Okay, fine.

-Good.

Can you stay tight on Cindy?

-ls that okay with you?

-Yeah.

-ls that okay with you guys?

-Yeah. Thanks.

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

She can't shoot from outside,

so let's make them shoot it outside, okay?

-Okay.

-Okay. Let's go.

Chargers!

Come on, team.

Good hustle. Let's go, let's go!

Pass it to Kathy!

-l'm open! l'm open!
