Running the Bases (2022)

Post by bunniefuu »

- The path that
led me to this moment

was not at all what I
had planned for my life.

See, when you embrace
God's purpose,

you find his provision.

And you'll be amazed
at just how creative

our Creator can be.

- Good morning, my
beautiful bride.

First cup?

- Are the boys up?

- Yeah, I think so.

- My brother wants that
hay in his barn today.

He paid them weeks ago.

- Diane, we both know
you're not gonna use that.

- Yeah, but they
don't know that.

Josh, Luke, you
boys better be up.

- Go, go, go.

- Come on, Luke, let's go.

- I'm coming, man.

- You know they're
going fishing, right?

- They better not.

- Rise and
shine, Harrison.

Doc's on the dial,
and it's gonna be

a beautiful sunny Saturday
with a high of 81,

so get out and do something
fun today, would you?

Hey, don't forget to
sign up for the car show

and the bakeoff next
Saturday in the town square.

There's always
something going on,

and I'm here to
keep you up to date.

So stay tuned for more of
the community bulletin board.

So get out and make it
a great day, Harrison.

Doctor's orders.

- Okay, okay.

Now can we go?

- We haven't even
caught anything yet.

- We?

- Even had had my new lighted
bobber and everything.

- It isn't even dark
yet, you goober.

- Then we ain't leaving.

- Oh wait.

Wait, wait, wait, hold
on, hold on, hold on.

And I'm hung again.

- Come on, Luke.

What are we doing wrong, man?

- Why are you asking him?

- I mean, we're just not
holding their mouths right.

- Well, try closing them, then.

- That'll teach you, man,
that'll teach you, Jess.

- My childhood
best friend, Jessica,

was the daughter
Mama never head.

- Wait till I tell Mama D.

- Jess, now come on.
- We're sorry, Jess.

Come on, we didn't mean it.

sh**t.

- Jess, wait, we're sorry.

- She was
our biggest fan,

and our biggest tattletale.

- I'm so sorry.
- Jess, come on.

- We didn't mean it.
- Jess, come back.

- Baseball kept
us mostly out of trouble,

but when we did mess up,

Mama had her ways of dealing
with two rambunctious boys.

And the older we got.
- Glory to God.

- The more
embarrassing it became.

- Job lost everything.

He lost his wealth and
he lost his health.

His own wife told him,
"Curse God and die."

But the third thing
we can learn is that

no matter what we
are going through,

we should always keep
our faith in God.

Glory to God.

- Amen.

- Lord, we thank you for
your love and your mercy

and these fish that Jess caught.

And Lord, forgive me and
Josh for not bailing the hay.

Again.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

- Amen.

- Coach says that
Evangel University

has a great baseball program.

It's a Christian school and we
could all still be together.

- You already have some
great opportunities.

Y'all gonna mess around
and they'll be gone.

- We already applied.

Josh mailed in our applications
about a couple weeks ago.

Right?
- Mm-hmm.

- Did you guys know
there's gonna be

an Evangel scout
at the next game?

- There is more to
life than baseball.

Oh, stop it, you two.

Y'all know what I mean.

- Okay, Mom, but first,
it's pro baseball.

- Pro?

- Well, for me.

Unless this one can
get his pop time down.

- Stopwatch, really?

- Yeah.

I mean, you need to know
how bad your pop time sucks.

- Oh, come on, come on.

- There is nothing
wrong with his pop time.

- Okay, okay, I know.

I'm just kidding.

Every great catcher
has a stopwatch,

so he knows how
great he really is.

- Come on, Josh.

Way to go.

- Strike.

- Come on, Josh.

- Ball.

Yeah, let's go.

- Come on, Josh.
- Cone on, Josh.

- Strike.

- Come on, Josh.
- Come on, Josh.

Do it again!

- Time.

- What are you
doing out here, man?

- Funny, I was gonna
ask you the same thing.

You gonna throw the pitch,
or back him off the plates?

- I'm setting him up.

He ain't got no idea
what's coming next.

- Yeah, that makes two of us.

- Okay.

One more outside, then I'm
taking my inside corner back.

- All right.

Just don't give me
anything to hit.

Mess up your no-no.

- Get over there.

- Strike.

- Let's go, Josh.

- Strike.

- Come on, Josh.

Bring me home, bring me home.

Come on, Josh.

Come on, bring it home.

Bring it home.

Josh.

Josh?

Josh!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, look at me.

Josh.

Josh? Mom, Dad!

- Josh, wake up.

- Josh.
- Come on.

- Somebody help my son.

- Call an ambulance.

Call an ambulance now.

- Somebody help.

- Josh.
- God, help.

- Hey.

- So what's the verdict?

- You have the exact heart
defect that your brother had.

- So how do we fix it?

- Meds can regulate it,

but you shouldn't
overexert yourself, Luke.

- What about baseball?

- I'm afraid not.

- There must be some mistake.

Baseball's supposed
to be my future.

- I'm very sorry, Luke.

But your future's going
to have to change.

But you can live a
relatively normal life.

- But I wasn't planning
on relatively normal.

No.

No.

What else do you want from me?

Huh?

I got nothing left.

I got no brother, no baseball.

Nothing.

This was our future.

Can you hear me?

Do you even see me?

- Stop.

Whatever that is, open it.

- Dear Mr. Luke John
Brooks, congratulations.

Evangel College is
happy to inform you

that you've been
accepted as a freshman

in the upcoming fall semester.

- Luke.

- In addition, you've been
awarded the prestigious

T.L. Graham Scholarship,
which will cover 100%

of the cost of attendance
over four years.

- That is great news, son.

- Who cares?

- Don't you dare give up.

Don't you take
away my other boy.

Look at me.

I miss him, too.

It's unbearable for all of us.

There's not a day that goes by

that I don't long to
see my baby's face

or hear his voice, but we
are only here to get there.

He ran his race.

And he would so want
you to finish yours.

- I just miss him, Mom.

I need my brother.

- I know, son.

I know.

I know that your
heart is hurting.

God sees that, he hears
that, and he's gonna use that

for his purpose in his
time, and when he does,

when he does, you are going to
change the world around you.

- Go.

- Okay, okay.

I'm going.

- How's he doing?

Ouch.

How are you doing, Mr. Brooks?

- Coach Kilber, you remember me.

- I was there, son.

Odd place to study,
don't you think?

- Yeah, well, I
come here because I-

- Oh, I know.

Makes everything feel right
for a moment, doesn't it?

- Yeah.

- You know, Luke, for those
of us who love this game,

it's pain and glory all
wrapped up together.

A few of us grow to resent it,

because we can't find
our place in it anymore.

But others, well,

well, we just keep
searching until we do.

Well, that pop time isn't
gonna improve itself.

- That felt good.

- Yeah, not bad for
a high school backup.

- You got a big
mouth on you, you know?

- You wanna get better?

- Okay.

Yeah.

- Get down.

Look at your feet, and
get ready to throw,

and when you come up,
explode those hips open

and get into that
cocked position.

- If you say so, bigmouth.

- Again.

Your arm path needs
to be short and fast.

It's all one motion. You got it?

- All right.

That felt better.

What was that?

- That is college pop time.

- Whoa.

Hey.

Thanks, Coach.

- Something inside
of me came back to life,

the familiar feeling of
excitement about a game,

and an unbreakable
bond between brothers.

- Come on, Josh.

Come on, bring it home.

Bring it home.

Come on.

- For richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,

and forsaking all others,
be faithful only to her

as long as you both shall live.

- I do.

- By the power vested in
me, I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

Luke, you may kiss your bride.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I introduce to you

Mr. and Mrs. Luke John Brooks.

- I expect you to conduct
yourselves in a certain way

on and off the field.

And your signature is your
commitment to one another.

Boys, you don't
win a championship

by trying to win a championship.

You do it by picking
up your teammates,

and refusing to let
any of them quit.

If you go through my program,

you will become better
young ballplayers,

but more importantly, you'll
become better young men.

All right?

That's all for now.

I'll see y'all at tryouts.

Have a great evening.

- Great speech, Coach.

- Have a good
night, Coach Morris.

- Yeah.

- See you at home, son.
- See you, Dad.

- May I help you, Mister?

- Michael Jamison,
Superintendent

of the Parkwood School
District, great state of Texas.

- Texas.

What brings you all the way to
our little town, Mr. Jamison?

- You do.

We need a new coach.

I'm looking at him.

Five state titles.
It's impressive.

- It's nine.

Nine state titles, it's-

- This contract doubles
your salary, not to mention,

you don't have to teach
during baseball season.

- Is that right?

- Come on, what else
you gotta prove here?

Talking 6A, Coach.

Certainly not afraid
of the competition.

- It's not that.

It's a very tempting offer.

I just don't know what to say.

- How 'bout yes?

I didn't come all this way

just to tell you
how great you are.

It's a solid offer.

- It's a big decision.

I got a family.

My whole life's been here.

I...

- Yeah, I get it.

I get it.

Family's important.

You know, I don't
know your wife,

but I never met a
woman didn't appreciate

a nicer place to life,

not to mention the
increased competition

for your son, getting to play
on a bigger stage and all.

- Yeah.
- You know, that's something.

- It's something.

- Opportunity's knocking, Coach.

The door closes quickly.

It's a pleasure.

- Thank you, sir.

- Call you
in a couple of days.

- What's the vibe
amongst the boys out there?

- Aw, Dad, you know
you can't ask that.

That's your rule.

- Oh, you can't break
your own rules, Luke.

- I'm just testing the
boy, playing with him.

- Yeah?
- And guess what?

He passed.
- Oh, okay.

- That's good parenting.
- Well you know

what you get for that?
- What's that?

- You get to do the dishes.

- Oh!
- I'm serious.

You're doing the dishes.

- Yes, ma'am.

Hey, had a very
interesting visitor today.

- And?

And you tend to do that
when you have bad news, so.

- I don't really know
what kind of news he is,

but it's serious.

It involves all of us.

- Was it that guy at the field?

- Yeah, that guy.
- What guy?

- Gentleman I met from Texas.

He offered me a job, coaching
at a big school in Texas.

- And you turned
him down, right?

- Not yet.

- What do you mean, not yet?

- Jess, can we just talk
about this before we-

- Are you talking about moving?

- Come on.
- Dad.

- You're serious?

- I'm a junior in high school.

I'm finally getting the
opportunity to play varsity ball

on the same field you
and Uncle Josh played on.

I mean, the same
field that he...

- I understand that's
important to you, son,

it's important to me too, okay?

- Yeah, but Dad.
- Let's just talk about this.

- Seriously, what is
there to talk about?

You wanna move to Texas?

- This isn't fair.

- This is all I've ever
known, this town, I-

- What if we're done here?

Did you ever think about that?

This is an amazing
opportunity for me.

Coach Morris is more than
ready to take over this team.

What else is there to do here?

- I don't know, win
another championship,

or retire in our hometown, Luke.

- Jess.

Sweetheart, you know I don't
do this for championships.

Lately, I feel like
God's been trying

to get my attention
about something.

- How long have you
been feeling that?

- Every time I would sit
down to plan for the season.

I feel like God's
been saying, wait.

And I didn't understand
what that meant until now,

and then this job offer
comes out of the blue.

All I'm saying is that maybe
this is the opportunity

God has me waiting for.

Otherwise, it's like...

I don't know, like we're...

- I know, like we're
saying no to God.

- Yeah.

Come here.

I need you guys.

I need you.

- You got us.

Together.

- You ready?

Look.

I know you miss Harrison, son.

Okay, I do, too.

But you're gonna be just fine.

- Dad, they've
already had tryouts.

I'm not gonna be playing
baseball this season.

- Son, I wouldn't have
moved you down here

without taking care
of a few details.

You're on the team.

- What?

But I didn't even try out.

- Don't worry about it.

Just wait till they
get a load of you.

- But it's 6A, Dad.

Do you think I'll
be good enough?

- Son, I ain't talking
about baseball.

- What are you talking about?

- You'll see.

Just gotta trust them
pretty blue eyes of yours.

- Oh, okay.
- And the bangs.

- Yeah.

- I wish I could do
that with my bangs.

Have a good day, son.

- Thanks, Dad.

- Somebody needs to tell
Rick to quit bringing food

into the announcer's box.

Hey, there he is.

- Morning, gentlemen.

- Coach Brooks.

It's good to see you.

This is Ted, your
Booster Club president.

- Coach, I cannot
tell you how glad I am

to finally to get to meet you.

- Pleasure, sir.

- Assistant Coach, Cage Tyson.

- Nice to meet you, Coach Tyson.

- Nice to meet you.

- Over here moping in the
corner is our athletic supporter

and Head Football
Coach, Alex Kenny.

- That's just not funny anymore.

- Now I'd agree with you,
but we'd both be wrong.

Wouldn't we?

- Coach Kenny.

- Our principal, Charlie Rogers.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. Rogers.

- It's nice to meet
you, Coach Brooks.

- I love your
neighborhood here, it's.

Sorry, that's a horrible joke.

You probably get all
the time, and oh,

I wasn't trying to make a joke.

- He's funny, too, right, guys?

- Sure.

- Well, I told you
I'd get him here.

Here he is.

- Here I am.

- Our hope for our
first championship win.

- Hold on, now.

Championship.

I think you and I are
on different pages.

We should probably talk.

- Coach Brooks, can
I call you Luke?

- Of course.

- You just focus on winning.

- Yeah, but I haven't
even met the team yet,

and our first game's
like a week away.

- Well, we better get on that.

You're my man.

- No pressure, Luke.

Welcome to 6A!

- Who we
got at third base?

- Ryan Jamison.

Pitches and plays third.

He can run like a
three-legged camel.

But he can hit a
baseball a mile.

- Copy that.

Steal signs for...

Did you say Jamison?

- That's exactly
what you're thinking.

He's a handful.

He's not a bad kid,

but his imagination's
a little destructive.

- So where's our game field at?

- You're standing on it.

- You're kidding me.

You telling me we
play on a city park?

- Welcome to Parkwood ISD,

where football
gets all the money.

- I was gonna ask
you about that.

What's the deal
with Coach Kenny?

- Like I said,
football is big here,

and he wants to
keep it that way.

Plus, those are some of
his players out there.

- Hmm.

Hey, son.

- I'm ready, Dad.
- All right.

Excuse us, Coach.
- Absolutely.

- I'm Coach Brooks,
and I love this game.

Now the world will tell you
that it's all about winning.

And that's what
they expect from us.

Now don't get me
wrong, I wanna win.

I came here to win and
I will demand greatness

from each and every one
of you on this field.

But greatness ain't
defined by winning.

Greatness is so
much more than that.

It's how you conduct
yourselves on this field

and off this field.

It's about emptying
yourself for your teammates.

See, I expect us
to become a family,

a family of young men
who carry themselves

with character and integrity.

You achieve that, you boys are
welcome to win all you want.

- Hey Coach, we
heard your old team

won the state championship.

- Nine times to be exact.

- I heard it was five.

- What was that?

- I heard it was five?

- Five, huh?

It was nine, Mr. Jamison, right?

- Ryan, and my dad, he's-

- I know who your father is.

Don't expect any special
treatment because of it.

- Y'all seen my pride?

It was here just a second ago.

- All right, give me four laps,

and keep yourselves
within reach of the fence,

or you'll all start over.

- Four laps? Are you kidding?

- Run!
- Okay, okay.

- Get out there,
you lazy Lima bean.

You okay, sir?

- Sam, Sam!

Sam, you scared of a
little ol' bee, man?

- That thing was as
big as a pancake.

- Oh, really?

Doesn't look that big to me.

- Get on me, go on, get off.

That's not funny, man.

- That was pretty good.

- That is not funny.

- Hi there.

- Samuel Parker.

My friends call me Sam.

- Okay.
- Right now,

you're not my friend.

- Coach Luke Brooks.

- Pleasure, Coach.

You know, I have seen a
lot of baseball seasons

come and go around here.

- Yeah.

- But there's something
special about this one.

- And what do you
think's so special?

- Mm.

You!

You.

- Hey, Mom!

- Hey!

So, how'd it go?

- Pretty good.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I just think I need to work

on my first
impressions.

- Okay.

- You look cute.
- Thanks.

It was a good day, sweetie?

- Um.
- Oh, ew, man.

- Yeah, it was a good day.

It was actually pretty good.

- I think I might know why.

- What?

- A girl at the school is
pretty sweet on our boy.

- Oh, all right.

I mean, look at him.

- Pretty cute.
- Yeah.

Let's talk about it over dinner.

Look, y'all, all
these places deliver.

- Get out.
- Delivery to our home.

- All right.

- I mean, I think
I'm gonna like Texas.

- I told you.

And then I realized what
I said, and he didn't-

- You didn't say that to him.

- Well, not on purpose.

- Dad.

- Oh my gosh.

He probably gets
that all the time.

- I know.

- Mm, Dad, tell Mom about Ryan.

- Oh, yeah, we got the
superintendent's son, Ryan

that's a real piece of
work, cracking jokes.

He looked at me like,
Coach, four laps!

You trying to k*ll me?

Here, you take over for me.

- All right.
- Ready, son?

- Yes, sir.

- Lord, help us today,
help us to play for you.

- Welcome to the Parkwood
Lions season opener,

and we'd like to
thank Outstanding
Light Funeral Services

for their sponsorship
of today's game.

Outstanding Light Funeral
Services is located

on 12th Street across
from Gotta Go Containers,

your number one choice
in quality caskets.

Huh.

- All right, listen up, guys.

Trust yourselves out there
on the field, all right?

Everybody here, they
want you to win.

I just expect you
to do your best.

You understand?

- Yes, sir.

- But you gotta
look good doing it.

Thanks to Mr. Jamison-

You will.

♪ Come on, let's go ♪

- Mr. Jamison.
- Coach Brooks.

Beautiful family.

- Thank you.

- Must feel good.

- It does, yeah.

- No, not the family.

I'm talking about the wins.

- Oh.

- What's that, 6 and 0?

- Yeah, 6 and 0.

- Well, it's impressive.

- Boys are playing good.

- You know, I was thinking
that with a winning program,

you deserve nicer things.

- Thanks to you, the
jersey are an improvement.

- Nah, you're
thinking too small.

I'm thinking much bigger.

You know, something like
champions live here.

I'm just saying that with
winning comes great rewards

like a brand new
stadium, for instance.

You just keep winning.

- Next week, I'll start
working one on one

with a few of you.

Jamison, you're losing
two steps on your leadoff.

Okay, you ain't slow,
son, you're just lazy.

- Come on, Coach.

We all know he's slow.

- That's enough, all right.

We also need a
lot more pitching.

So Whitmore, it's time
we tame that arm, son.

- Yes, sir.

- Paul, that means you'll
be playing first base.

We're gonna work on your
confidence, too, with the play,

so you can help this team.

Boys, it's the small things,

the details that make the
difference on this field.

Winning the championship's
gonna require more

out of each of you.

And if you apply yourselves,
boys, you'll be amazed

at what you can
accomplish on this field.

You understand?

- Yes, sir.

- Bring it in.

Let's go, Lions on
three, here we go.

One, two, three.

- Lions!

- Hey, Ryan, check it out.

- You guys seeing this?

- You know what's crazy is
Coach is faster than Josh.

- Hey, Ryan, when
they get over here,

you should ask him what
all that running's about.

- Nah, man, I'm
not gonna do that.

- Hey, come, just ask him.

- Okay, fine,
fine, fine, I will.

- Good work today, boys.

I'll see you at home, Brooks.

- All right, see you, Dad.

- Love you, Coach.

- Hey, Josh.

So we've all been
wondering, what's with the,

you know, the running
of the, you know?

My dad says it's some sort
of baseball superstition.

- Oh, no, no, it's
not a superstition.

No, my Uncle Josh, he
had a heart defect,

and he d*ed during a game.

And so my dad runs the
bases in honor of God

and in memory of his brother,

and I join him sometimes
occasionally, you know,

and we pray.

- Yeah, that sounds
superstitious.

- Sounds like the same thing.
- I was thinking it, you know.

- Sounds pretty lame to me.

- Oh, does it?

Does it, Cody?
- Yeah.

- Your face is lame.

So Josh, that means that you're
named after your uncle then.

- I am, yeah.

I just wish I was half
the ballplayer he was.

- Me too.

Hey.

- God, spare me.

Yeah, lame.

- Oh, ho, ho.

This just in, ladies
and gentlemen.

Let's check in with our lame
judge for the afternoon,

Mr. Casanova Garrison.

Tell us, Casanova, was that
story lame enough for you?

What's your verdict?

- My verdict is that
you're an idiot,

and by the way, Danielle
thinks you're an idiot, too.

- Ooh.

- Wanna go there, boss?
- Let's go there.

- Hey, Josh, what's the
latest with you and Katie?

- Ryan, you know.

We're going out
on a date tonight.

- Oh, really, a date, huh?

Have you met her parents yet?

- Yes.

They invited me over for
dinner the other night,

but you already knew that.

- Sorry, I just
needed to be reminded.

This just in, ladies
and gentlemen,

Mr. Josh Brooks wins
the heart of lovely

Ms. Katie Harper in
just under a month.

Tell us, Casanova Garrison,

after two years of trying
to get a date with Katie,

have you ever seen the
inside of the Harper home?

Check, check, is this thing on?

- Hey, Tristan,
turn me up, buddy.

- Thank you.

- Hey, you're not funny, Ryan.

- Hey, man, you need calm-
- You need to grow up.

- Yeah, calm down, all right.

- Hey, you both need
to grow up, all right?

Take a step back.

- I'll grow up when
Casanova grows up, man.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Man, chill out.

- Get off me, man.

- Man, Cody, you
get played so easy.

- You don't know
anything about me.

- He knows you hit like a girl.

- Shut up, Ryan.

- All right, all
right, all right.

- You know what?

At least I am not named after

some stupid dead ballplayer
with a bad heart.

- Yo, dawg, chill, bro.

Come on, chill out,
chill out, chill out.

Break it up, break it up.

Man.

- So Katie, tell
us about yourself.

- Um, okay, well, I'm really
just your average Texas girl.

I love to go to church,
and listen to music,

and go shopping.

- How 'bout that, Jessie,
she just described you.

- Well, I'm just a regular
ol' Texas girl, now, aren't I?

- That's right.

- Wait, I'm sorry, sorry.

Did you say average?

- Yeah.

- Mom, she's the reigning
district tennis champion.

- Oh my, Josh!

- Wow!

- It's amazing.

- That's wonderful.
- Thank you.

- Look who's here.
- Oh man.

- What's up, Coach?
- What you doing?

- Hey, is this the missus,

'cause I don't like
keeping secrets.

- That's because he
can't keep a secret.

- Boys, this is
my wife, Jessica.

- Hi, boys.

- And this is Jerry.

- Hello, Mrs. Brooks.

- Hi, Jerry.

- And this is Cameron.

- What's up, Ms.
Brooks, how are you?

- Nice to meet you.

- And this is Ryan.
- Hey.

- Ryan, like the Ryan Jamison?

- At your service.

- Yeah, that's him.
- Okay.

- Do you mind if I-
- Wow.

I see it now.

Okay, help yourself.

Oh.

- Josh, how'd the
date go with Katie?

Hi, Katie.

- They're still on
the date, you idiot.

Oh, hey, Katie.

- Hey, Cameron.

- Yeah, you mind if you
ask me about that tomorrow?

After the date?

- Yeah, am I hearing
all nighter at Coach's house?

- Yep, yep.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

All nighter?

Who said anything
about an all-nighter?

I did not say that.

He didn't say that.

- I think it sounds fun.

- Really?

Yeah.

- All these
boys in our house?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- We can grill, it'll be fun.

Y'all come over.
- Sweet.

- What do you think, like 6:00?

- Sure.

- Bring your sleeping bags.

- Perfect.

- Okay, y'all come over, but
we go to church on Sundays.

- Ooh.
- Oh.

I sleep in on Sundays.

- We worship the
Lord on Sundays.

- We can reconsider.

Whoo.

Hey.

- You going somewhere?

- I was just gonna go
spend the night at Josh's.

- Oh, Coach Brooks' son?

- Yeah.

Yeah, they're a cool family.

- What are you gonna do?

- You know, just play some
video games, grill some burgers,

go to shmurch.

- What was that?
- Huh?

- Last thing you just said.

- Video games?

- No, the very last part.

- Burgers for dinner?

- Never mind.

- Okay.

See you later.

Hey, don't forget to eat
something, all right?

- Mm-hmm.

- Love you, Dad.

- Dude, all she said was
you're not attractive,

could be-
- No.

I'm getting a six
pack this summer.

I'm telling you,
I'm doing juices.

Guys, let's just not
mess around, all right?

We don't wanna break anything
in Coach Brooks' house.

- Oh, like the time when
you threw the baseball

in Cameron's parents' window.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, what's up-

- But look, if
you knew how to catch,

we wouldn't have
a problem, okay?

- But what about the
time when you knocked

the candle over at CJ's house?

- Yeah.
- I mean,

you caught the curtains on fire.

- Okay, but I put
the fire out, right?

And curtains are
supposed to be fireproof.

They say it in all the-

- Hey, Ryan, I'm not
so sure my curtains

are fireproof, so should
I be worried here or?

- I was just telling the guys,

this is a beautiful
home, excuse me.

Josh, you here?

- Hey, Ms. Brooks.

- Thanks, guys.

Y'all come on in.

Coach is grilling.

I'll show you where
to put your stuff.

- Thanks.

- All right, y'all have fun.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Coach.

- All right.
- What's up, Coach?

- What's up, boys?
- Hey, Coach.

- What about this one?

When was this taken?

- That was the Mother/Son
dance back home.

He cleans up pretty
nice.

- I never got to
dance with my mom.

She d*ed when I was six.

- I'm sorry about that.

I lost my mom when
I was little, too.

It's hard.

- Yeah.

- You better go
get some barbecue.

- Okay.
- Have some fun

with those boys.
- Yeah.

If there's not at least
three burgers left for me,

I'm gonna be frustrated.

I'm just putting it out there.

What's up, du
