The Winning Season Page #7

But l just don't think you're seeing

the big picture here.

What do you mean?

What do you want to do

with the rest of your life, Damon?

What do l want to do?

Be on reality television.

Right. All right.

-Goodbye, Damon.

-Where are you going?

What's wrong with reality TV?

-Everything okay?

-Everything's fine, yeah.

Can l get you anything else? Another Coke?

What is that,

the orange drink they're having?

-That's the Wallaby Darned.

-Yeah?

lt's our most popular drink.

-Cricket! All right, l'll have...

-You want one?

Yeah, why not?

l'm celebrating tonight, so...

Yeah? What's the occasion?

End of my first season

as coach of the Lady Chargers.

-You coach girls' basketball?

-Yeah.

That is so cute. l used to play.

-Were you good?

-l was okay, yeah. Not bad.

-l bet you were.

-Man, l bet they love

having you as a coach, huh?

They're okay. l don't know if they like me

so much all the time, but...

No, l bet they love you.

-Well, l will bring you that Wallaby Darned.

-All right, thanks.

You almost done?

-l feel great.

-Great.

-These are delicious!

-They are, yeah. You...

-Good day!

-Yeah, okay. All right.

-Maybe l'll get another one of these babies.

-How about some coffee, Coach?

-ls that a hint?

-Maybe. l'm gonna go get that.

-You know what'd be fun...

-No, no, no, don't... Leave it, leave it.

Please leave it.

-Let me help you. l'm sorry.

-Somebody will get it.

l was just gonna ask you if you wanted

to maybe go somewhere else

-and have one of these with me.

-No, but thank you.

l didn't mean to grab you there.

-l was just trying to...

-lt's fine.

-...get your attention.

-Here's your check. l'll be back.

l'm sorry. l shouldn't have asked you out.

That was probably...

F***!

Sh*t.

Okay, move it.

Hey.

-Sweetie, what are you doing here?

-What are you doing here? What happened?

l made a mistake, honey.

l made a bad decision.

Oh, my God!

Girls, what are you doing here?

-Why weren't you at practice?

-l got fired.

We heard.

How the hell are we gonna play

in the sectionals without you?

You're gonna be fine. You got Donna.

No, Donna doesn't know anything

about basketball.

To us, you're still the coach,

so you better start thinking of a plan.

-Okay?

-And fast.

-Let's go.

-Here.

What's this?

lt's the tapes from all the games

l've been taping over the season.

See you around.

l mean, it's a federal offense.

Did you know that?

You can't sell your prescriptions.

You just can't. They're yours.

Okay? You take them for a reason.

l want to finish the season.

-Forget it.

-You want me to say please?

l don't care what you say, all right, Bill?

You blew it.

-Let me go to the sectionals, Terry.

-l said you blew it!

-Come on, man. Let me just...

-You broke my daughter's heart!

You broke all their hearts.

l'm sorry.

Get out.

Hey, girls.

l just wanted to take a moment

before we head to the sectionals

tomorrow morning.

l know you're nervous. l am, too.

But just remember, we're a team.

That's not something

anyone can ever take away from us.

Now, l've never been part of a team before,

and at my age, it wasn't something

l was expecting to ever happen.

So, l want to thank you

for giving that to me.

My whole life,

l've felt apart from other people.

l don't feel apart from you girls.

And no matter what happens tomorrow,

l'll always be proud of you.

-Go, Chargers!

-Go, Chargers!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

We can win. We can win. We can win!

Set a trap.

-Get off the road, you moron!

-Shut up!

Everyone ready?

No.

Are you serious, you guys?

The game hasn't even started and you're

already sitting here like we just lost!

l mean, come on!

Have you realized how much

we've accomplished this year?

l mean, we're a winning team, guys!

That's cool! And l know Bill isn't here,

but we were the ones on the court

winning those games,

each and every one of them,

all by ourselves!

With our talent and our skills

and our minds, right?

And if Bill was here, he wouldn't let us

sit around and mope, right?

Am l right?

-Yes.

-Yeah.

l said am l right?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

Oh, my God. Whose house is this?

-Our house!

-Our house!

Get up. Get up! l said, whose house is this?

-Our house!

-Our house!

Our house! That's right!

Go! Come on. Let's go, let's go!

Abbie, get your head in the game. Focus.

Come on, girl!

Hate the Chargers!

-No!

-Come on!

Hey, chica.

-Can l see your green card?

-Kathy, l'm open!

Hey!

Coach!

-Coach, is that you?

-Yeah. We can win!

-What are you doing here?

-Why are you so sweaty?

-l rode my bike.

-We missed you! We missed you!

We don't have a lot of time.

We don't have a lot of time.

l think you can beat these girls

if you switch your defense

to a full-court press.

These girls, they're healthy, you know?

They're tall and healthy,

but they're not good ball handlers.

l want two defenders on the ball at all times.

Keep them flustered,

and they'll lose their cool.

-You got it? Stay on them!

-All right, we got it.

Double-team them. Let's go.

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for? Let's go!

Come on! Come on! Go!

Come on. Come on.

-Double-team them. Yeah!

-Double-team them?

Tell them to set the trap.

Keep them in the trap.

-Trap?

-Set a trap.

-Trap.

-l need a cigarette.

-You gotta go.

-What do you mean?

-What do you mean, ''What do l mean''?

-lt's my team! Come on, guys. Come on.

Bill.

l like the shirt.

Yeah. l know you're being sarcastic.

We won!

-You're kidding me. That's great!

-No, no, no. We won!

We won 52 to 50!

-All right!

-lt's good, huh?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

What? Are you kidding me?

She was nailed! Can you hear me?

Billy. Hey, Billy. Hi.

Hey, hey. How you doing?

-How are you?

-l'm okay.

-Why don't you come sit with us?

-ls that okay with Mr. Perfect over there?

He's not perfect. Come on.

Come on, ref, that was a foul!

-That guy's an idiot.

-She's gonna be heartbroken.

Listen, tell her she played a hell of a game,

will you?

-Will you tell her that?

-Yeah.

She really did.

All right, everybody. Huddle up. Huddle up.

Come on, come on.

All right, now, listen.

l've seen this team play, and they're all D,

which is easy to get around

if you look for the open shot.

You guys seen Hoosiers?

l want you to pass the ball four times

before you shoot.

What's the most beautiful, beautiful play

in basketball?

-Does anybody know?

-Dribbling?

-Scoring?

-Passing.

That's right, passing. Do you know why?

Because it binds you together

as a team, okay?

Remember, it's not whether you win or lose,

it's who's afraid to play you next time.

Let's go. One, two, three. One, two, three.

-Go! Fight! Win!

-Go! Fight! Win!

Yeah! Look them in the eye!

What's going on?

They're double-teaming Kathy.

What should we do?

Okay, that's okay, that's okay.

Wendy and Lisa are open,

-so tell them to set the pick and roll.

-Okay.

And tell Tamra to get those

offensive rebounds and chin it.

Chin it when she gets
