All language subtitles for Love on the Sidelines (2015) (Love.On.The.Sidelines.2016.1080P.Webrip.X264.Aac-[Yts.Mx]) (ENGLISH)

They ran out of buffalo wings.

I know, it was a tragedy.

I guess we aren't the only ones
who discovered the free buffet here.

Being broke really
makes me feel cheap.

You're not cheap,
you're just... Frugal?

Cheap, frugal,
it's all the same.

Broke is broke.

Well, you're going
to find another job.

I don't know.

I should have studied
business administration

or computer science,
not art and design.

Did you ever hear back from
those Vera Wang people?

Sorry.

Another rejection.

So far, I've been rejected by
every design house I can think of.

Maybe I'm just not
meant to be a designer.

Seriously, you showed
them all your sketches?

Even the wedding dress design?

That's crazy.

Any designer would
be lucky to have you.

Maybe.

But somehow, I don't think they're
up nights worried about people like me.

But I am up nights worried about
how I'm going to pay my rent.

My six month nest
egg isn't working.

It's almost in due.

Look, how many blunders
do Sean and I really need?

I can return some of
the gifts and help you out.

Are you out of your mind?

I can never take wedding money.

It would just be until
you got your break.

I appreciate the gesture.

I really do.

But you know how I
feel about weddings?

They're sacred.

So what's the plan
B that you're getting?

Move home?

As much as I love my
parents, that is not an option.

When I left home, I vowed I would
never use them as a safety net.

So I am working on plan C.

Which is?

Take the first job I can find.

Don't laugh.

I even applied here.

But you hate sports.

I hate jocks more.

I know.

But I hate starving more.

Excuse me, can
we get a to-go box?

Sure, please.

Thank you.

It's a disaster.

Total disaster.

Honey, what happened?

It's Holland.

Did somebody nuke Holland?

No.

What?

Didn't you see?

Danny Holland?

Only the greatest
quarterback in the league.

He's down.

What's he got to
be depressed about?

He's a football player.

He was sacked by that
big moose, Buddy Johnson.

Oh, so he was fired?

No.

He wasn't fired.

He was injured.

Have any idea what this means?

Seven years.

3,346 completed passes.

243 touchdown passes.

And only 62 interceptions.

And he was last year's MVP.

Did I tell you that he wants to have our
wedding cake in the shape of a football?

And you're still marrying him?

That is love.

Has anyone seen Elliot?

Elliot!

He's right here.

Here I am.

I've been tweeting
about your condition.

What?

Why would you do that?

We don't even know my condition.

Well, I can tell you this.

That's one bad looking ankle.

I don't need to hear that.

It's probably not
as bad as it looks.

Honestly.

How bad is it?

Who are you?

I'm Mr. Holland's
personal assistant.

What's the prognosis?

Just ignore him.

The good news is you
won't require surgery.

That's great news.

Well, how long are
we going to be out?

It's an inversion sprain, so
probably six to eight weeks.

What?

For a sprain?

Let's take it one
week at a time.

So what time does
this one get here?

Any minute.

I hope.

I like her.

She sounded normal on the phone.

I don't know why it's been so
hard to find a new roommate.

Maybe because I'm
such a tough act to follow.

Oh.

You know what?

I'm super late for work already.

I gotta go.

Okay.

But...

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Gina.

I'm the soon-to-be ex-roommate.

Oh.

You must be Laurel.

I'm Patty.

Oh.

Nice to meet you.

Please, come in.

Bye.

Unfortunately, I've
only got ten minutes, so I

hope you don't mind if
I just cut to the chase?

And then I guess
you won't want coffee.

Here are my tax returns
for the last three years.

About six months' worth of bank
statements, my medical records,

and several references
for former roommates.

I don't smoke,
drink, or do drugs.

I have no pets, no teddy
bear or other annoying

collections, no boyfriend,
and pretty much no life.

Because I work all the time.

Which means I'm the perfect
roommate, and you'll hardly ever see me.

Wow.

What kind of work do you do?

I'm a personal assistant.

Sounds pretty demanding.

It can be.

But it's also the
best job I've ever had.

The pay isn't bad, but
the perks are amazing.

The reason I'm in such a
rush right now is because

I'm headed to Paris with
my boss in thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes?

You'll never make it
to check-in on time.

It's a private jet.

There is no check-in.

This is a letter from the agency
that placed me at my current job.

Unfortunately, you can't
contact my employer

directly because I still
don't know what to do.

I signed a confidentiality agreement,
so I can't tell you who I work for.

But you can call the
agency for a reference.

So what do you think?

I think I've got a new roommate.

And I think I want your life.

It is not always this glamorous,
but it definitely has its moments.

By the way, what do you do?

I'm currently between jobs,
but willing to do almost anything.

You'd be perfect as
a personal assistant.

Why don't you call
Trina at the Amsterdam

Placement Agency and
tell her I recommended you.

That's so generous of you.

I don't know how to thank you.

Trust me, with the
attrition rate in this

field, Trina is the one
who will be thanking me.

So the doc has a physical
therapist already lined up for you.

He's going to work
around your schedule.

But don't forget, you still have
promos coming up for your book.

And then there's
the Wheaties thing.

Oh, and of course
the photo shoot.

That is going to be
really good for you.

I'm surprised your injury
isn't scaring anyone off.

Why would it?

I'm still Danny Holland.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And believe me, they
are paying for that.

Elliot, you want to
give us a minute?

Ned, he's got to go.

Well, it's about time.

I can't believe you put
up with him for this long.

Hey, you don't think that
there's any truth in this?

What are you saying, dear?

What?

No.

Of course not.

Elliot's an idiot.

Danny, look, you're going to
be back on your feet in no time.

All right?

Let me tell you something.

Six weeks is nothing.

Six missed games.

Stop worrying and start icing.

I see Patty recommended you.

Uh-huh.

That's as good a recommendation
as you can get in this business.

She's got one of the
best reputations in town.

I even have a waiting list of
clients that want to hire her.

She's going to be
my new roommate.

Fabulous.

She can teach you
everything you need to know.

If we hire you.

So you graduated from the
San Francisco School of Design.

Have you had any luck with that?

Not yet, but I am being realistic
and looking for a full-time job now.

You've never been arrested or
charged with a felony, have you?

Nope.

One last question.

If TMZ approached you
and offered you $50,000, for a

photo of your employer with
no makeup, would you take it?

That's not only a breach of contract,
that's a breach of my Midwestern values.

Great answer.

So you have a job for me?

The only opening I have right now
is with a very temperamental chef.

But she just went after her last
assistant with a potato peeler.

And frankly, you don't have the
experience to handle someone like her.

If you don't think she'd come after
me with a meat cleaver, I'd try it.

I really need a job.

Sorry, but I don't carry
that much liability insurance.

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, just call the
Amsterdam Placement

Agency and find another
assistant for Danny.

Okay.

What happened to Elliot?

Let's just say he
wasn't very helpful.

Oh, and I need someone
here by tomorrow.

He's got a full day
of appearances.

Tomorrow?

I don't think I have anyone
available that quickly.

I know that Danny always
uses male assistants, but

I do have someone
available if he doesn't appear.

I'm sure he's a good
subject to a woman.

I get such a big
deal out of this.

Let me find out.

Just an ankle injury.

What?

What?

Oh, about that assistant
position for Danny.

It's going to be tougher
than we thought.

Just get anyone.

Just make sure that they're
there first thing tomorrow morning.

Who are you?

Laurel Welk.

I'm your new personal assistant.

It's really nice to meet you.

Okay, you can't be
my new assistant.

The Amsterdam
Placement Agency sent me.

Oh, okay.

Okay, unless this
is a practical joke.

Okay, someone messed up.

I'm a college graduate.

College graduate?

Am I supposed to
be impressed by that?

With honors.

Then why aren't
you getting this?

I can't have a female assistant.

Even though that's blatantly
chauvinistic, I don't understand why not.

I'm a football player.

I'm used to being
around a lot of guys.

I may want to walk around
in my underwear if I want to.

I don't want to say
excuse me when I belt.

And can you spot me?

150 pounds?

I don't think so.

That's your criteria
for an assistant?

That's some of it, yeah.

Well, maybe I'm not exactly what you
wanted, but why not give me a chance?

You wouldn't even be
allowed in the locker room.

Why would you even
need someone in there?

I'm guessing you don't need help
taking a shower or getting dressed.

You obviously need
someone to help you

around, what with the
crutches and everything.

Yeah, and I was expecting
that someone to be a guy.

Okay, look, that's my car, and I have
a really busy day, so if you don't mind...

Which is why you need me.

I appreciate the enthusiasm,
but it really is not going to work.

The bottom line is I
really need this job.

Which means I will put my heart and
soul into it, and you will not be sorry.

You're not the type that
cries easily, are you?

Only when I watch the notebook.

Okay, we'll give this a shot.

But just while
I'm sidelined, eh?

Sidelined?

Not playing.

Injured.

Right.

Do you know
anything about football?

Let's just say I'm learning.

Okay, well then let's just
say that this is on a trial basis.

But as soon as
I'm cleared to play...

I'm sorry, I'm going back to being a
chauvinist, and I'm going to hire a guy.

Understood.

And you won't regret this.

I promise.

Get you to the car.

Thanks, pal.

Mr. Holland, I got that
information you needed.

Williams Industries is
selling at $150 a share.

Yeah, I wasn't asking
you about the stock market.

Williams is a backup
receiver, and, uh...

I was talking about
mid-season trade.

Oh.

Why don't you just, um...

Go get me a bottle of water.

Right away.

Hey, pal.

Just smile, smile.

You're enjoying yourself.

You're enjoying yourself.

So I'm going to get
rid of those crutches.

Hunter, hold them up.

Somebody, uh, get a
board, a stool, anything.

Just prop him up.

Hey, man.

Not a piece of meat, all right?

My apologies.

Good.

This is just
temporary, by the way.

Okay, here we go.

Well, now you're just
kind of towering over him.

I could scrunch down.

Well, then we'd be looking
at your chest, not your face.

You know what?

Let's take five minutes.

We'll figure this out.

Five minutes.

Okay, guys, I'm just going
to change some lights here.

I have your lunch.

Your lunch for you?

Yeah, sorry, rookie.

The clock ran out.

I already ate.

Okay, let's try
some with the jersey.

Uh, you.

Go to the back.

Get Danny's jersey from
the rack, please, quickly.

Yeah, that's not mine.

That's Manning's.

Wardrobe.

Where's wardrobe at?

Wardrobe.

This.

This is the one you want.

Yeah.

Patty.

What are you doing here?

That's my boss who was
leaning up against your boss.

I'd heard you got a job, but Trina
didn't tell me it was with Danny Holland.

Your boss is the model?

Yeah.

I just got back
from a long lunch.

She doesn't like it when I eat in front
of her, so I ducked out for a burger.

She doesn't mind
you not being here?

Well, we're still
in the trial phase.

Wow.

I'm not sure I'm going
to last even two days.

Hey!

I'm glad somebody helped.

Guys, please.

Could someone do something?

Like, right now.

Come on.

I think that I could help.

Please.

Maybe you better not.

You can't afford another fumble.

No.

I got this.

I think I can fix this.

Just a little bit more.

Nice.

You can find it.

You can find it with your eyes.

Will this work?

That's really amazing.

Thank you, Miss... It's Laurel.

I'm Mr. Holland's assistant.

Well, thank you, Laurel.

Can we start shooting?

Yes, we can start shooting.

Okay.

There we go.

Impressive.

You are going to be one
handy roommate to have around.

If we ever see each other
with our hours, who knows?

Oh, we'll be seeing each other.

Our bosses are an item.

What a cliché.

An athlete dating a model.

Oh, yeah.

Just put it right
over here, guys.

Thank you.

All right.

All right.

You're all set.

Thanks, Dad.

I appreciate all the help.

You know what?

I'm going to give it a try now.

Whoa.

Slow down, champ.

The doctor said you had to
take it easy for the first week.

You have to rest
it and keep icing it.

Dad, if I rest too long, I'm liable
to become another has-been.

We both know that's
not going to happen.

You're going to
be all right, son.

You're going to
get through this.

I'm not good at sitting around.

I know it's hard what you're
going through, but you know what?

This is not the
end of your career.

Yeah, I guess that's true.

Now, what do we
say in this family?

I know.

Never settle for the sidelines.

That's right.

Oh.

Hi.

I'm here for Danny.

I'm his new assistant, Laurel.

Really?

I'm Danny's father.

Oh.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Now, I want you to make
sure he stays off that

foot and it needs to be
ice four more times today.

Got it?

I'll make sure.

Okay.

Good morning.

Morning, rookie.

I didn't think I'd
see you again.

Why not?

Well, you had more fumbles
than receptions yesterday.

I thought you might
throw in the towel.

I'm no quitter.

Today's going to be better.

You'll see.

What would you like
me to do for you first?

My dog needs walking.

You don't have a
problem with dogs, do you?

Nope.

I love them.

I'm a great dog walker.

Well, I gotta warn you.

She doesn't like many people.

What's her name?

Newt.

You named your dog
after Newt Gingrich?

No.

Newt Rockne.

Is he someone famous?

He was.

He's legendary now.

Really?

For what?

For being the greatest
football coach of all time.

Wow.

Do you ever play for him?

Not in this lifetime.

Newt?

Newt?

Come here, girl.

Cooper Scooper's right here.

A shovel?

Oh, trust me.

You'll need it.

Sit.

Huh.

Newt didn't give
you a hard time.

Newt certainly
has a lot of energy.

Come on!

Must be the ankle.

It's probably freaking her out.

No, it's freaking me out.

Well, I am going
to get the showers.

Oh.

The office isn't there.

There is a cell
phone on the desk.

That's for you.

For as long as
you keep this job.

There's also a pile of work
left by your predecessor.

But the most important thing for right
now is you need to organize my schedule.

I need you to check
with the team publicist.

My publicist, my sports agent, my
book agent, and my physical therapist.

You got that?

Of course.

Of course.

Newt?

Come here.

Can I help you?

I want to see Danny boy.

May I have your name and
do you have an appointment?

What?

You got to be kidding me.

Who are you?

I asked you first.

I'm Isaiah Howards.

Who?

Isaiah Howards.

Best tight end in the league.

I don't know what that is.

Then you have no business
being in Danny Holland's house.

Now step aside and let me in.

Are you always this pushy?

That's how I make a living.

Want to see?

Hey Isaiah.

What's going on?

She belong to you?

Well, that's up for some debate,
but you can put her down now.

You know him?

He's my teammate.

She's my new assistant.

Sorry, I didn't
know who you were.

I need a new publicist.

Thank you for letting me
move some of my stuff in early.

Thank Gina.

When's she moving out?

Right after the wedding.

How's the job going?

Not great.

Actually, I stink at being
a personal assistant.

It's not the long hours or the running
around or even the standing up to a tight

end, but half the time
I don't even know what

Danny's talking about
because he speaks in football.

I have got just what you need.

This is the personal assistant.

This is the personal assistant's
handbook, which I happen to have authored.

It will tell you everything
you need to master this job.

It will teach you how to tell a cat from
a latte, a fine Cuban cigar from a two

dollar Costa Rican,
and a pinot from a Merlot.

Study it cover to cover.

Oh, and make sure you
take a good look at page six.

It has all the unlisted
numbers for the private

clubs, restaurants,
and the chief of police.

You know, just in case.

Thanks.

I will add it to my homework.

Homework?

I need to learn everything I can
about football if I want to keep this job.

So, that's tonight's reading.

The job will get easier.

I promise.

Even if your boss
doesn't want you?

You know how they say behind
every successful man there's a woman?

Well, the truth is behind every successful
person there is a personal assistant.

Is that in the handbook?

No.

But I like the sound of it.

I think I'll add it
to the next edition.

Good morning.

What's that you're wearing?

You like it?

I made it myself.

I noticed the team shirts are so
masculine, so I just put my own spin on it.

It's called a
jersey, not a shirt.

And I hope you didn't go
out and make one for me.

No.

I made you these.

Cranberry walnut muffins.

Your favorite.

Right?

What, nothing for the dog?

She already likes me.

I hope you like them.

I won a blue ribbon for
those at the state fair.

Why do you have
to be such a girl?

Nobody's ever complained about that
before, but do you have to be such a jock?

No one's ever complained
about that either.

And that's what's
paying your salary.

That's my ride.

Lucas is picking
me up for practice.

But you're in a boot
and have crutches.

You don't have to remind me.

I may not be playing, but
I still show up for practice.

Come get me at four.

Make sure you're on time.

I thought you had
a limo and a driver.

No.

The publisher arranged that.

I normally drive myself, but
obviously right now I can't.

Hey.

Oh.

Lucas, come on.

Let's get going.

Excuse us, miss, for
rushing out on you.

No.

No.

That's...

That's just Laurel.

That's my new assistant.

Oh.

This is Ron Lucas.

Pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Ain't quite the
surprise, I might add.

Yeah.

It was for me, too.

Yeah.

Come on, Lucas.

We're gonna be late.

See ya.

She's cute.

Who?

Laurel.

Come on, Lucas.

She's my assistant.

Don't even think about it.

Oh, come on.

You know how bad I
want to meet someone?

She single?

How should I know?

Don't you talk to her?

Not about stuff like that.

Hey, Romeo.

Keep your mind focused
on the game, okay?

Ugh.

Sean, call me back
as soon as you can.

I need help with Danny's
fantasy football league.

Whatever that is.

So, please, the minute
you get this, call me.

Oh, and make sure to call my
personal phone and not my work phone.

Okay.

Stay.

Stay.

Hi.

Is Danny home?

No.

And I'm so sorry about that.

I'm sorry, but we don't
accept gifts from fans.

Oh, we're not just any fans.

I'm Danny's mother
and this is his sister.

Can I see some proof?

You must be Laurel.

You met my husband yesterday.

Would that get us in?

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Holland.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

Danny told me
not to let anyone in.

Well, I'm pretty sure
he didn't mean us.

I'm Julie, by the
way, and this is Ava.

Hi.

I made Danny a pot
of his favorite chili.

That's really nice of you.

He's lucky to have
such a caring family.

Oh, we're lucky too.

Well, besides checking up on Danny, we
wanted to drop off the list for the party.

Is this something I
should know about?

Oh, Danny's giving his father
and me an anniversary party.

Which means you'll
probably be doing all the work.

Well, at least planning a
party is something I'm good at.

Well, the last couple of days
have been particularly hard

on him, so I hope you're not
taking anything too personally.

Nope.

Personal assistant rule
number eight says that you

have to develop a thick
skin, so I'm working on it.

Is it a special anniversary?

Yeah, it's our 35th.

Wow.

35 years.

That's epic.

My parents only
lasted six years.

Oh, I hope that
didn't discourage you.

Nope.

Just the opposite.

It turned me into a
hopeless romantic.

I know what you mean.

I'm like, I never end
up with the right guy.

Oh, it just hasn't
happened yet, sweetie.

That's all.

As long as you don't give up.

I mean, there's probably some guy out there
right now thinking the very same thing.

Yeah.

We'll let ourselves out.

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey.

You look good out there today.

Oh, feeling good.

Uh, too good.

I'm starting to worry.

No, you aren't.

Need a ride?

Yeah, I might.

Laurel was supposed to pick me up,
but... I hope nothing happened to her.

Happened to who?

Danny's got a new assistant.

Another one?

Actually, I'm thinking
about asking her out.

To her?

And I already told
you to forget about it.

It'd be inappropriate
if you dated her, but I

don't see anything wrong
with me asking her out.

Laurel, where are you?

You're here.

No, I couldn't find you.

What do you mean you're lost?

You guys don't have to wait.

Oh, we don't mind.

I want to meet
your new assistant.

There's nothing to meet, Durbin.

She's just a girl.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I see him.

Thanks.

Thanks so much.

Sorry.

They should really hand
out maps for this place.

That is a great idea.

Yeah.

It's a nice jersey.

Where can I get one for my wife?

Oh, thanks.

I made it.

Later, guys.

I gotta get going.

Bye.

Bye.

This place is really confusing.

Where's your car?

Oh, it's right over there.

The red one?

That's your car?

I know it's old and drives kind of loud,
but it's sort of a classic and I love this.

Is it a 1964 or a 65?

Sixty-five.

Sixty-five?

Sixty-five.

I had a 65 in high school.

It was a hand-me-down
from my granddad.

It was a great car.

It runs really, just give it.

Kind of an unusual car
for a girl to be driving.

And I can drive it just
as well as any guy.

Hey, glad I caught you.

Coach wants to
see you for a second.

Uh...

Thanks.

Yeah.

Ow.

Hey.

Hey.

I just want to let you know what you
did with the team jerseys was great.

You're really creative.

I really appreciate that.

I really mean it.

I'm not the type of guy who
doesn't mean what he says.

Good to know.

So, feel free to tell me if
you see me messing up.

Well, I will be
seeing a lot of you.

With Danny, I mean.

So I will keep an eye on you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I never knew football
players were so nice.

Well, we're not all bad boys.

Hey, Lucas.

Don't you got someplace to be?

Nope.

Yeah, well, I do.

So, see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Bye.

Casanovas.

Are we heading for home?

Here.

Nope.

Uh...

You're taking me to the
Bay Area Boys' Center.

I'm working with
some of the kids there.

And then I have a date
with Hunter, so, um...

I can take the night off.

Oh, if you're entertaining, why
don't you let me fix up the house a bit?

Why?

What's wrong with it?

I have a housekeeper.

I just mean I could try and
make it a little more romantic.

Try and hide the fact that you
have a gym in your living room.

You know, maybe some
candles, flowers, soft music.

Huh.

No Michael Buble.

Got it.

Oh, and I need you to pick
up a bag of food for Newt.

We use the 30-pound size.

But, uh, don't worry, they'll
carry it to the car for you.

I suppose I'll be the one
carrying it into the house.

Well, I can't exactly
in my condition.

If you were a guy, it
wouldn't be a problem.

Don't worry.

I'm stronger than I look.

Hmm.

Well, in that case,
get the 50-pound bag.

It's more economical.

Hmm.

Did you have a good time?

So annoying.

It was fun.

Ah.

Hey, Newt.

I didn't think that when you said we
were going to a club, you meant... Ah!

You meant the boys'
club with little boys.

You said you wanted to
come to one of my book events.

Yeah, for adults, not children.

Well, if you didn't notice,
that is who I wrote the book for.

What?

Get away.

No.

She's just trying
to be friendly.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Uh, can't you put her
outside or something?

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

Yeah.

Come on, Newt.

Let's go outside.

Come on.

Ah.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Come on.

Did you do all of this for me?

Ah.

Hmm?

And do you even remember,
yellow roses are my favorite.

They are?

Oh, yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Hmm.

Hmm.

You know, I was thinking, since
you're injured and not playing anyway,

why don't you come
with me to Rome?

I'll be on a photo shoot for a week, and we
could take another week and go to Venice.

Venice?

Mm-hmm.

Um, as tempting as
that sounds, I can't.

Why not?

Well, I mean, being out with an
injury isn't like being on vacation.

Besides all the rehab,
I'm still part of a team.

I have to show up every day.

Well, that's too bad.

Italy would have been fun.

Newt!

Quiet, girl.

Well, we could do something
fun once you're back in town.

Yeah, I will hold you to it.

Newt, knock it off!

I'm sorry.

I don't know what's
gotten into you.

I don't know what's
gotten into her tonight.

Oh, maybe she's jealous.

Yeah, I don't know.

She's never acted
like that before.

Maybe it's me.

I mean, I like dogs
most of the time.

Well, how do you feel
about their owners?

Well, there is one
that I am very fond of.

Oh, my gosh!

That dog is ruining our evening.

I mean, maybe if I brought
her inside, she'd calm down.

Uh, she might, but I won't.

Danny, I just, I can't
handle this tonight.

I got a really early call in the
morning, so I'm just gonna go.

Well, I'm sorry she's
behaving this way.

Yeah, so am I.

I don't understand what's
gotten into her tonight.

Maybe you should look into
getting her a really good pet therapist.

Maybe you do need a therapist.

Hey.

Ahem.

I was on my way out
when you guys came in.

And I was gonna slip away when you went
into the other room, but then you didn't.

So, here I am.

Hmm.

Do you, uh, you hear everything?

It was a little muffled,
but I'm pretty sure I'm

the one that ruined your
evening and not Newt.

Well.

At least we know
she's not crazy.

Am I fired?

What?

No.

That's not your fault
we came home early.

You did a nice job, though.

Fixin' up the place.

And the roses, that
was a nice touch.

How did you know that
they were her favorite?

Trade secret.

Shouldn't you be off your feet?

Probably.

Can I get you anything?

Your mom's chili
is in the refrigerator.

No.

I'm good.

Besides the chili, she also
dropped off an invitation list.

Oh, yeah.

I guess I should have
told you about the party.

Oh, no big deal.

Your mom and Ava filled me in.

Oh.

It's really nice
you're doing this.

Yeah, well, you know,
35 years is a big deal.

They're still crazy
about each other.

Love stories like that are
what people dream about.

Yeah, I suppose so.

If there ever were
role models, they're it.

But not everybody's lucky
enough to find what they have.

I can tell you my parents are
role models of what not to do.

That bad?

Let's just say most of my childhood
memories are of my parents arguing.

Fortunately, they figured it out
early enough and got a divorce.

They're both great.

And I really love
being with them, but...

I really missed having a
family when I was growing up.

Yeah, I can't imagine what
that must have been like.

We have a great
family, but it didn't really

help me or Ava in the
romance department.

I've had a lot of failed relationships
and, I don't know, it's not...

It's not fun seeing it plastered all over
cyberspace for the whole world to see.

But you haven't given up?

Well, I just don't get
too serious anymore.

But how can you fall in
love if you don't get serious?

Who said anything about love?

I better finish cleaning
up before I leave.

He sounds like a jerk.

You're better off without him.

Listen, I've got to get going,
but don't let it get you down.

There are still some
nice guys out there.

Okay.

Bye.

Did I mention no personal calls?

Sorry.

Ava says hello.

You're talking to my sister?

She said she tried calling
you, but it went to voicemail.

She wanted to see
how you were doing.

Wasn't she just following me
on Twitter like everyone else?

She's your family.

She's concerned.

So am I, and them asking me
how I am all the time isn't helping.

Neither is avoiding their calls.

Pushing people away
isn't always the answer.

Oh, hey, I am not
doing that, okay?

I've just been busy.

More busy than usual,
actually, with the book

and, you know, all the
rehab and everything.

Isn't that just an excuse?

I've never been
called on that before.

There is my playbook.

I was looking for that.

Wait, this...

This is not my playbook.

Oh, no, sorry.

That's my notebook.

It's just some sketches
I've been working on.

But only during my lunch break.

Honest.

These look professional.

Is this...

another hidden talent of yours?

The jury's still out on that.

I got my degree in
fashion design, but I

haven't exactly turned
it into a career yet.

Of course, the jersey
you made, now I...

see the connection.

Your playbook is on
the kitchen counter.

I made the same mistake
earlier and thought it was mine.

Danny Holland's office?

Oh, hey Drew.

Hold on, let me ask.

Hey, Ned wants to know
if you can go to dinner

sometime next week with
someone named Marino?

Dan Marino?

The only night that you
have free is Tuesday.

Absolutely.

He's also someone I
should know, isn't he?

Yeah.

It's too bad you didn't
have any... any brothers.

Probably would have made
this job a lot easier for you.

Hey, it sounds like
Tuesday night will work.

Come on, minors!

So when's Patty
actually moving in?

She has half a day off
in the next three weeks.

But in the meantime,
she's leaving a few boxes.

She's in Rome with Hunter.

Rome?

Go boys!

Don't get lazy!

Too bad you got stuck
working for a football player.

Don't let Sean
hear you say that.

Oh, before I forget...

Ron Lucas called you earlier?

Ron Lucas called here?

Sean, don't you... don't
you dare look in here!

That's bad luck!

Sorry.

You know who Ron Lucas is?

First I know who
Ron Lucas is, I better.

I'm marrying Sean.

I think he wants to ask me out.

And is that a good thing?

Under normal
circumstances, it would be.

But since he's my boss's
best friend, it's kind of awkward.

This job's really changing you.

You wouldn't have even
considered dating an athlete before.

Athletes don't always
fit the stereotype.

I'm even beginning to think that
there's another side to Danny.

Oh, really?

I'm just saying that people aren't
always who you think they are.

Mm-hmm.

Laurel, fourth
quarter's almost over.

If you want me to teach you about
football, you better get out here.

It's fine.

Okay, um, just give
me a few minutes.

Be careful about the pins.

And we'll move.

Okay.

Okay.

Here's Lucas.

Come in and have a hug.

Have a seat.

Okay.

I was trying to explain to you
about the first down marker.

Yeah.

See that yellow line that goes
all the way down the screen?

Oh, face mask!

Oh, face mask!

Well, okay.

Why is it moving?

Because they're gaining yardage.

And it's ten yards
to a first down, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're really
starting to pick this up.

Hi, Laurel.

I have help.

I'm stuck.

Okay, hold on.

Don't move!

Yep.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to get my phone.

It just fell under the couch.

Here, let me help you.

Yeah.

I'm guessing,
um, this isn't yours.

What?

You don't think football
players can read literature?

I'm not the only person who
went to college, you know.

Okay, it's right under here.

Do you see it?

Right here.

Thank you.

Yep.

So, you've been voted sexiest
man in sports two years in a row.

How does that feel?

It's very nice, but it's not
what my book is about.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

You're dating Hunter St. James.

Does that mean
you're off the market?

Uh, I... I'd prefer not to
talk about my private life.

Then you're not denying it.

I'm not talking
about it either way.

Okay, come on.

But your fans want to know.

Uh...

Just... let me just say that... that my
area of expertise is playing on the field,

not playing the field.

Sure.

Now, how about we get back to discussing
my book, which, as you know, I wrote for

kids, and all the proceeds go
to inner-city youth programs.

Okay.

You still there, Jim?

Oh, yes.

Here, let me... I can
get out of the car myself.

Right.

Sorry.

Problem?

No, it's... it's fine.

I'll just call the auto club.

Well, why don't I take a look?

You don't have to.

I'm not going to ruin your car
if that's what you're afraid of.

I used to work on
mine all the time.

Fine, if you really want to.

Yeah, I think I see the problem.

That's amazing.

Oh, you've got some
grease on... hold on.

I'm... yeah.

Did I... did I get it?

No.

See?

Now it's... now
it's on your nose.

Hey.

Hey.

I even read it.

What'd you say?

I thought it was
honest and inspiring.

I especially liked the part where you
talked about kids overcoming their fears.

That's because I lived it.

A lot of kids... worse
odds than I ever had.

That's why I wrote the book.

Well, if the football
thing doesn't work

out, I guess you've
got a future as a writer.

I'm serious.

I'm serious.

Hmm.

Thank you.

See you later.

Okay.

Oh, and Danny wants to know if it's
alright to invite a few of his teammates.

Oh, of course.

How is Danny?

He's doing well.

Busier than usual, yes.

Then you must be
busier than usual too.

So, why don't I help out a bit?

I'll call the players
and invite them.

Since I know most of them.

That would be great.

Thank you.

Eric Durbin.

Isaiah Howards.

Ron Lucas.

Haven't seen Ron in a while.

Glad he's on the list.

Is Danny bringing a date?

I assume Hunter.

She's the model.

Naturally.

Haven't you met her?

Oh, Danny doesn't introduce
us unless it's serious.

Which means we haven't
met many of Danny's girlfriends.

Oh, I really like this.

Isn't that sweet?

Oh, yeah.

It's nice.

Pretty.

It's really pretty.

I wish Danny would find
someone to get serious with.

Despite appearances, he's
really not one of those player types.

He just seems like he's
dating the wrong type of women.

I'm pretty sure he knows that.

Ten more seconds.

Come on.

My ankle feels good.

I'm going to keep going.

You're supposed to
stick to the regimen.

I'll make up your own.

Thanks for helping me out today.

Sure.

I'm sorry I missed Laurel.

I'll be sure to tell her.

I know you won't.

See you tomorrow.

See ya.

I think my sister heard that.

Oh, what is that?

Sorry, it's my phone.

It's the emergency line.

It isn't Danny, is it?

No, no.

It's an emergency with
my roommate's wedding.

Danny?

I'll be right there.

Sorry, excuse me.

I have to go.

Okay, bye sweetie.

Bye.

How bad is it?

Actually, it's good news.

It didn't do any damage.

What a relief!

I mean, you must be so relieved.

And a lot more comfortable.

Doc said I don't have to wear
the walking boot anymore.

Just an air cast.

That's great.

Hey, can you do me a favor?

Can we tell no one what I did?

You don't have to worry.

Discretion is rule number two in
the personal assistant handbook.

What's rule number one?

Never get too personal.

Hey, Newt.

Hey, girl.

You waiting for us?

Yeah.

I'll get you a nice pack.

Could you bring
it out to the patio?

I think I might sit out there.

For a while.

You want to go to the patio?

Yeah, go outside.

Come on.

Hey, you want some wine?

Thank you.

Hey, thanks for not
judging me today.

Why would I do that?

Well, I've been doing it to
you for the last four weeks.

And what's the verdict?

Well, the verdict is that you
are better than Elliot ever was.

I guess that's something.

Oh, you prefer a letter grade?

Only if it's about a C.

I was going to say B-.

I'll take it.

But I've always been an A
student and I will get there.

You'll see.

Good.

Um...

Is there anything else that
you need me to do today or...

No.

Um... You could probably
take off if you want.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks for the wine.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Dear Joan, I want
to make a toast...

There you go.

...to Gina and Sean.

I may be losing a roommate,
but I'm gaining free dental care.

Aww.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I love you guys.

Cheers.

Peace.

Bye, Mom.

Yeah.

Hey.

Look.

The girl's here.

Dani's assistant?

Yeah.

Where?

Where?

Looks like a girl's
night, let's not spoil it.

I know, my boss just walked in.

Which one is he?

He's the really good looking
one with the leather jacket.

Isn't he on the Wheaties box?

Yes.

Hi, Laurel.

It's a nice surprise.

Hey, Ron.

What are you guys doing here?

Uh, late practice.

Some of the guys
wanted to grab a drink.

Danny's over there, too.

Nice.

We're having a bridal shower.

Everyone, this is Ron Lucas.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Why don't you invite
your friends to come over?

Yeah.

Sure.

Yeah, I'll go grab.

He's adorable.

They don't want to come over
here, they're football players.

We won't hold it against them.

And if any of you ever tell Sean about
this, I'm not going to talk to you again.

No way.

Yeah.

No.

I mean, I just don't get it.

Yeah.

He was the one
that came on strong.

He pursued me and then nothing.

You think I should call him?

Yeah.

Totally.

You're right.

Yeah.

I mean, it's been over a week.

It's time.

What do you, as a
guy, what do you think?

Look, by not calling this jerk, he's
going to wonder what happened.

Did she meet someone else?

Was she just not that into me?

He's going to not know, and
it's going to drive him crazy.

And you're going to be the
one that he'll always think about.

Oh.

Well.

That's my opinion.

I'm going to go check on him.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah.

No, that's good.

That's really good.

Yeah.

Danny, can I help
you with anything?

Uh, no thanks.

You do know you're
off the clock, don't you?

Right.

So when's the wedding?

It's Sunday.

So I won't be available, but that is
the only night that I really need help.

I think I can manage.

You're right.

Sure.

That was really nice what
you said to her just now.

Well, I call him like I see him.

She really needed to hear it.

Yeah.

Especially from a guy.

Even if I am a... a jock.

I'm sorry I called you that.

What do you have
against us, anyway?

I don't know.

I just don't like them.

Most of the time.

No.

That's what you say about
Brussels sprouts or a root canal.

There has to be a reason.

In high school, they
made my life miserable.

I was a little on the nose.

I was on the dirty side.

In braces and glasses.

The football team
loved to pick on me.

You know, they only did that
because of their own insecurities.

Some guys do grow
out of it, you know.

Really?

Yeah.

Do you need a ride home?

No.

I'm with Lucas.

Let's go around.

Romeo.

Good night.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

So, you bringing Hunter
to Mom and Dad's party?

Uh, yeah, probably.

But I'm not sure.

You gonna bring someone?

Maybe.

Who's the guy?

Someone I thought
was just a friend.

And I think it might be
turning into something more.

I don't want to jinx
it by talking about it.

Yeah, uh, understood.

But I do want to talk about which
one of us will make a speech.

I've been thinking
I'd like to do it.

But I usually make the speeches.

That's my point.

How about letting
me do it for a change?

Yeah, well, then what
am I supposed to do?

I don't know.

Maybe just enjoy the
party, have a good time.

Yeah, but everyone's... You're not
gonna expect me to give a speech.

I know you're used to
being the center of attention,

but maybe you could
give it up just for one night?

Okay, hey.

That is not fair.

I don't always have to
be the center of attention.

Can I bother you
for an autograph?

It's all yours.

Ava.

Here you go, bud.

Thank you.

I'm so excited.

I've always wanted to.

I'm gonna go over there, I'll...

What was that?

It's Danny.

He's using the emergency code.

What should I do?

I'll check to see what he wants.

But it's the middle
of your wedding.

Well, actually, technically
we're already married, so...

Go, check.

What does he want?

He didn't say.

He just said that
he needs to see me.

Then you should go.

But I can't run out
during your wedding.

I'm your bride, and
I say that you can.

Okay, I'll be back
as soon as I can.

Perfect.

Okay.

Okay.

What just happened?

I just gave my best friend the
chance at having what we have.

What is it?

Are you alright?

I got here as fast as I could.

Am I the sort of guy who always
needs to be the center of attention?

What?

What?

My sister more or less accused me of
that, and then she walked out on me.

That's the emergency?

I thought something
happened to you.

Well, I needed to tell someone
you're the person that I thought of.

In the middle of my
best friend's wedding?

Oh, that was tonight, wasn't it?

You look great.

I told you I had this wedding,
but obviously you weren't listening.

No, no, I was listening.

I forgot.

Don't you know that
weddings are sacred?

Rushing here to listen to
you whine about something

your sister said is not what
I would call an emergency.

I wouldn't exactly
say I was whining.

I've been at your beck and
call for the last five weeks.

The least that you could do is take
care of yourself for one lousy night.

It's pathetic.

You barely know how to program your
DVR for your own stupid football games.

You wouldn't know what to do day
to day without somebody telling you.

And I'll bet you don't even know what
the inside of a grocery store looks like.

Is there anything that
you can do for yourself?

This.

Morning.

Good morning.

Want me to make coffee?

Yeah.

Coffee.

I think we should talk
about that kiss last night.

Yeah, you're right.

We should.

Yeah.

I know that was really
unprofessional of me.

But...

It probably broke every
rule in your handbook.

I did kiss you back.

Yeah.

I want you to know that...

I wanted to say...
Should I get that?

Get nude.

I'll get the door.

Oh, oh, oh!

Stay!

Stay!

Buongiorno!

Did you miss me, sweetie?

How's your knee?

You mean my ankle?

You know what I meant.

Honey, can you put the
dog in the other room?

Danny and I have
a lot to catch up on.

I'll take her out for a walk.

Honey, I owe you an
apology for the way I

behaved that last night
when we were together.

I hope you're not mad at me.

No, you know what?

It really wasn't a big deal.

I'm so glad.

How am I kidding?

I can't compete with her.

Okay, can we do this later?

Because I, um, yeah.

Um, I have to get to practice and...
It's a really busy day, so... Can we, um...

Okay, sure.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, hey, I'm happy.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

By the way,
congratulations on the game.

Thank you.

It was exciting to see
you make that last pass.

I'm glad you're watching.

I wouldn't have missed it.

Yeah, you guys are holding up this
game, though, so if you don't mind.

Do you guys need
anything else before I leave?

Uh, yeah.

I could use another beer.

It's not your servant.

You've got legs.

Yeah, you can go
get it yourself, man.

What's wrong with you?

Well, I guess we're
taking a break?

All right, then.

I'll just say good night.

Bye.

Oh, by the way, my
wife loved the jersey.

Could you make
one for my daughter?

Absolutely.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Hey, I wonder if you could
make me one of those jerseys, too.

Uh, not for me.

For a friend.

A female friend.

I'd be happy to.

Perfect.

See ya.

Bye.

All right.

Talk to you for a second?

Yeah, sure.

It's about this girl that I'm seeing,
and I'm pretty crazy about her.

Yeah, you know, I'm glad that
you didn't give me the details.

I don't need to hear them.

I'm just trying to
be honest with you.

You are.

And, um, you're adults.

You're free to date
whoever you want.

So you already know?

What, she told you?

No, she didn't tell me.

I kind of figured it out.

And... you're okay with that?

Yeah, I shouldn't have
objected in the first place.

You got the ball.

You might as well run with it.

That's a good metaphor.

Come on.

Let's play some cards.

Yeah.

Well, hello, Princess.

Let's go meet Daddy.

Daddy?

Now this is what you call a dog.

Isn't she a cutie?

I bought her yesterday.

I thought she would make
a great companion for Newt.

Yes.

Seriously?

Guys, can we lose
the dog, please?

Patty, dear?

Would you mind?

Thank you.

Okay, here we go.

Okay, guys, ready to do this?

So...

I'm thinking next Tuesday
at 4 to actually move in.

Hunter's got a Botox appointment, so
that should give me a couple of hours.

So does that work for you?

You love each other?

Pretend.

Pretend.

Laurel, does next
Tuesday work for you?

Sorry.

Yeah, that's fine.

Huh.

Yeah, there you go.

Nice.

Express yourself, Danny.

Nice.

Very nice.

Thanks, Doc.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Woo!

Doc, clear me to play!

Um...

I gotta call Coach.

Hey, uh... You need someone
to win you the game next week?

Yeah, 100% cleared.

Yeah.

Yep, y'all will see
it's more a practice.

Woo!

That's great news, Danny.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's the best.

Hey, Ned.

Yeah.

Guess who's cleared to play?

Yes!

Woo!

What?

Danny, he's back.

I need you to get a
press release ready.

Call the Chronicle, call the
networks, and everybody at Nike!

Mwah!

Oh, yeah.

Block 19!

Hut, hut!

Okay, I'm all set.

Congratulations again, son.

Thanks, Dad.

But remember, we're just
celebrating my recovery.

It's not like I won
the championship.

Oh, let's call it a celebration for the
game you're gonna win this Sunday.

Where would you like to go?

No.

Where would you like to go?

It's on me.

I...

I sort of owe you an apology.

From what?

I've been a bit of a
jerk for the last few

weeks, and I know I
haven't been very responsive.

You know what?

No apologies needed.

Um, where's Ava?

Is she not coming?

Oh, no, no.

She's got a date tonight.

Huh.

Uh, Laurel?

You're going to
join us, aren't you?

Thanks, but I better not.

I'm sure Danny will give
you the night off, won't he?

Oh, it's fine with me.

I've got so much work to do.

But have a great night.

Okay.

Me.

Bye, sweetie.

Thanks.

Bye.

Hello?

Hey, Ned.

Um, look, I need you to
line me up a new assistant.

And this time,
make sure it's a guy.

What?

I'm... I'm sorry.

I don't get it.

What... What happened to Laurel?

I thought you liked her.

I do like her.

I... I mean, I...

I don't like her in a
non-professional way.

I... I... But I'd be more
comfortable having a guy around.

Okay.

Whatever.

I'll call the agency.

Again.

Thanks.

Yeah, sorry, Poe.

I know you'll miss her,
but it's just too hard seeing

her every day knowing
she's with my best friend.

Good morning.

Um, that's for you on the table.

Okay.

What's this for?

I guess you could
say it's severance pay.

I hope it's enough.

I don't get it.

Am I fired?

Not fired, but I am going
to have to let you go.

Did I do something wrong?

No.

But if you remember
our agreement, um, I said

that you could stay until
I was cleared to play.

Oh, right.

I did agree to that, didn't I?

Yeah.

And now that I'm
playing, I'd just rather

have a guy in the locker
room and everything.

I understand.

Really sorry.

It's okay.

And you really did give me
a chance when I needed it.

I'm glad you understand.

If you ever need someone to
take care of Newt, let me know.

Oh, what are you doing
home in the middle of the day?

I got fired.

I mean... Let go.

What?

It came as a surprise to me too.

Okay.

What happened?

Nothing.

It just so happens
that I'm a girl.

That's what I thought
he liked about you.

What are you talking about?

Oh, uh, maybe I was wrong.

Um, but I thought you and
Danny broke rule number one.

We almost did, but
then... Then... we didn't.

Then why did he
break up with Hunter?

He did.

When?

Uh, a few days ago.

She's already moved
on to some soccer player.

Then... that just proves
that he's not interested in me.

Now that he's free, he
could have asked me out.

God, somehow I feel
like this is all my fault.

No, it's my fault.

I was dumb enough to think that there could
actually be something between me and Danny.

I'm sure it isn't too
painful being here.

It's fine.

I needed to get out.

I have no interest in
watching the game, though.

How about some buffalo wings?

Thanks, but I'm not very hungry.

Tell me more about
your honeymoon.

Well... we went to one football game,
and then we watched a couple on TV.

Did you take a carriage ride through
the park like we always said we would?

Second night there.

It must have been so romantic.

It was.

What about you?

At least you have that severance
check tied you over for a while.

I sent it back.

Why?

It didn't feel right keeping it.

I decided to focus on the one
thing that I'm truly passionate about.

And no more settling
for the sidelines.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

I'm gonna get another drink.

Do you want one?

No, I'm fine.

Thanks.

Hey, Laurel, did you see that?

Danny just threw the
winning touchdown.

Sean... Oh, I'm sorry.

I... I didn't mean to
throw salt in the water.

It's okay.

Look, as much as I love Danny
Holland, I'll always be on your side.

Thanks.

Um, will you tell Gina I
will call her tomorrow?

Sure thing.

Yes, Danny!

Thanks for meeting me.

I... I wanted to give you the
final guest list before the party.

Oh, thank you.

I still don't understand why you're
not working for Danny anymore.

I'd rather not discuss it.

Okay.

Okay, then I won't pry.

I admire your professionalism.

I'm sure I'm gonna miss you.

And I'll miss all of you.

Do you have any idea
what you're going to do next?

Well...

I have this crazy idea, but
it's probably too ambitious.

How do you know unless you try?

Um... You know those jerseys I
made for some of the players' wives?

Everyone says I should try
and do something with them.

But I'd have to get the licensing rights,
which I'm sure I could never afford.

I don't think
that's crazy at all.

I think you should
follow your passion.

Danny did that.

And he never, ever
gave up, no matter what.

Do you have any more
of that guacamole?

It's good stuff.

Laurel made that herself, so no,
we don't have any of that tonight.

And, um...

Did she leave any of
those cookies she made?

No.

Sure was nice
having Laurel around.

Yeah, well, she's not
here, and she's not

coming back, so can we
just focus on the game?

So, Lucas...

Word has it you
have a girlfriend.

Oh, yeah?

Guys, are you...

Gossip's all of a sudden?

We're curious, that's all.

If he doesn't want to talk
about it, that's his business.

She must be pretty special.

Yeah, she's great.

Come on, guys, do you
want, you want to talk

about girls or you want
to play some cards?

Play some cards.

Well, thanks for coming
tonight, and run the dashboard.

Yeah, thanks.

Okay.

I will.

Talk to you soon.

Bye, guys.

Thanks for coming.

All right.

See ya.

You look like a
short-dressed man, Danny.

Really nice.

You too, you too.

You dressed yourself.

I like this.

Thank you.

Hi, would you excuse us?

I haven't danced with
my brother all evening.

Wow, that is a dress.

I owe you an apology.

Sorry for the things I
said when we had dinner.

I was out of line.

No, you weren't.

I know there are times I
can be pretty self-absorbed.

I know it's not always
easy being my sister.

I wouldn't want to
be anyone else's.

When I see mom and dad like
that, that's what love should be.

Not everyone can be that lucky.

I've been thinking and I want
you to make the speech tonight.

Even though I accused
you of stealing the spotlight.

Truth is, you're better
at making speeches.

I haven't written anything down.

I don't know what to say.

Just...

Say how you feel.

Hey, sorry I'm late,
but may I cut in?

Sure.

Wow.

Hi.

How lucky am I?

You look handsome.

I feel like James Bond.

I know.

I'm really sorry.

What do you think you're doing?

What about Laurel?

What are you talking about?

Yeah, Danny, you've been
acting all strange lately.

Aren't you seeing Laurel?

What?

No.

No?

No.

I've been seeing Ava.

I've been trying to tell
you that for a few weeks.

But you said you already knew.

That's the cue for the speech.

Yeah.

Good luck up there.

Thank you all for sharing
this wonderful evening with us.

My big brother Danny
would like to say a few words.

A lot of people think that I'm the sort
of guy who only thinks about football.

Which is only partially true.

Because tonight all
I can think about is

how lucky I am to have
such amazing parents.

These two have given
me and Ava all the love

and support that any
two kids could ever want.

And they still had enough
left over for each other.

They inspired us to...

want...

the same type of relationship
that they've shared for...

for 35 years.

One built on respect...

and understanding...

and passion.

But supposedly it
wasn't always that way.

I don't know if many
of you know but when

they first met they
couldn't stand each other.

But dad told me that that was
just a defense on his part because...

he thought she was the most
beautiful girl he'd ever seen.

And she still is.

I guess it only
goes to show how...

how wrong...

we can be about someone
the first time we meet them.

And luckily dad... wasn't dumb
enough to let her get away.

To mom and dad...
I love you guys.

Cheers.

That was beautiful Danny.

Yeah I meant every word of it.

You know sometimes...

the right person is right in front
of you and you just don't notice.

Is this your subtle way of
trying to tell me something?

Well it...

it's true that your dad and I didn't
really like each other at the beginning.

But I didn't have the disadvantage
of having to work for him.

Yeah mom I don't
think much matters.

She probably hates me.

Oh I would be willing
to bet that she doesn't.

You're not gonna stand
around on the sidelines.

Thanks.

You don't mind if I bail do you?

No.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna recover a fumble.

Go for a touchdown.

That's my boy.

This round's on me.

I am so happy for you.

Thanks.

Why aren't you more excited?

I am.

I think it just
hasn't sunk in yet.

Oh.

Okay.

What is wrong with you?

You just booked an amazing merchandising
deal with a major league football team.

I'd be dancing on the tables.

Couple more glasses
of wine and I will.

Alright.

Oh yeah.

Is that... Uh huh.

I liberated both
of us from Hunter.

I decided... I didn't
like the job after all.

And besides, she is not what you
would call a responsible pet owner.

I hope you don't mind having
an additional roommate.

No.

I miss having a dog around.

Hello?

Gina, this is Danny Holland.

Okay.

I didn't see that coming.

Oh.

What can I do for you?

I have to find Laurel.

I... I... I need to tell her
something in person.

Not on the phone.

Do you know where she is?

I do.

But why should I tell you?

Because I need to tell
her that I'm in love with her.

Okay.

Well, here's the deal.

I want season tickets.

You'll watch SportsCenter
with my husband once a month.

You'll be his first patient when
he opens his dental practice.

And most importantly, you will
never tell him about this conversation.

Okay.

Deal.

Yeah okay.

Well you should be good.

We've been acting very strange
since I got back to this bar.

I have.

Whoa.

Hey.

Hey.

It's Danny Holland.

Shawn.

I'm here.

I left my parents' party
tonight because of you.

It was a great
party, by the way.

Except you weren't there.

Uh.

I know things
got a little... Uh.

Complicated.

I pushed you away.

But the truth is, I am
crazy in love with you.

Is that what you
would call a Hail Mary?

I do know something
about football.

Not really.

Just one football player.

And I am crazy in love with him.
