Tamra, what's going on? You gotta focus!

-Focus!

-Thank you. Thank you. Good move.

F***!

You guys know where there's a phone?

A phone booth?

Down the hall, to the right.

Hello?

Hey! Tell Tamra to guard that girl closer.

What the hell's going on?

Bill? Where are you?

Never mind where l am!

Tell Tamra to play tighter defense,

and tell everyone to pass the ball more!

Timeout!

Hello? Hello?

Bill just called. He's watching,

and he's not happy with what he's seeing.

Tamra, you need to play tighter defense.

You're making it too easy

for that girl to score on you,

and everyone needs to pass the ball more.

-Where is he?

-l have no idea.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Call a timeout!

-Call a timeout! Call a timeout.

-Timeout.

Ask Tamra what the hell is going on!

He wants to know what's going on.

Why is she letting that girl score

all over her?

Why aren't you guarding that girl more?

ls something wrong?

What's going on? What's going on?

l'm getting this vibe.

See, l feel funny around her,

and l feel something.

Talk to me. What's happening?

She's feeling this vibe.

What? What do you mean a vibe?

What's a vibe? What do you mean?

She thinks she might have a crush on her.

Okay. All right, well, then,

if that's the only problem,

tell her to switch opponents with Kathy,

that's all. Just tell her to...

Good luck with that.

-Please deposit 25 cents.

-Man! Come on!

Hey.

-Hey.

-What are you doing here?

What am l doing here?

Yeah, l guess this looks pretty weird, huh?

You played a hell of game the other day.

Thanks.

How's your algebra coming along?

lt's okay.

You have any change or anything?

You wouldn't happen to have a quarter?

Here.

Thanks.

Hey, Molly,

-l'm really sorry about...

-The game's almost over.

Okay.

Call a timeout as soon as you can, okay?

-Where are you?

-l'm around.

Wait a minute! You!

Timeout!

Put me on speakerphone.

Okay.

He's at the door!

Now, listen to me carefully.

Look n each other's eyes.

And you know that feeling

you're feeling right now?

lt isn't gonna get better than that.

So, Kathy, you've got one

of the best jump shots l've ever seen.

lt's beautiful, just keep firing them up there,

okay, kid?

And if they start to double-team her,

Look for Wendy and Lisa, okay?

Because they can hit everything they take

from here on out.

And, Tamra, l'm counting on you

to get those rebounds.

-Hey!

-No!

l don't want them getting

any second chances.

Yeah, got it.

Abbie, you're the leader on the court.

You got great instincts.

-Trust them, use them. Don't lose your cool.

-Got it.

Mindy, l like you. You got spunk.

Even though you didn't get to play,

l think you got a lot of heart,

and you're a big part of this team.

Flor, l'm really glad your parents

crossed the border to come over to Indiana.

You learn English and you'll be

a starter next year. Now, listen.

l want you to leave it all out there tonight,

you understand?

Don't pace yourself.

Leave your heart on the court, you hear me?

l love you girls.

Go kick some ass. On three.

One, two, three!

-Go! fight! Wn!

-Go! Fight! Win!

Hey!

Dad! Dad!

There's a door all the way down at the end

that you can get in. Go!

Let's go, Kathy!

-Three, two, one!

-Three, two, one!

-lt's okay. It's okay.

-We were so close.

l've been where you are, you know?

And this isn't your last shot.

-lt's not your last shot.

-l let everybody down. l'm so sorry.

Come on, l want you to get up now.

Come here. Come here.

Everybody come here. Come over here!

You played great.

Come on, let's get off the court.

Get off the court.

Hey, hey. Huddle up. Huddle up.

l want you to go in there

and shake their hands, okay?

Keep your chin up.

Hey, Kathy, keep your chin up.

There's gonna be a lot of sh*t

that blows through your lives.

There's gonna be a lot of adversity,

you know?

lt's only gonna make you stronger.

You guys played a great game.

Each and every one of you.

l want you to feel good.

You're gonna feel like sh*t

for a long time, you understand?

But you did good today. Look at me.

Look at me, everybody.

You've come a long way.

Now, go shake hands with them, okay?
